Cough 061 - [Video]

[haori]

[Ukitake is outside of his house, hair wet and water dripping off the clumped-together edges.  He looks tired, but...

...it's not raining on him.]

I've put up some barriers around the house.  If the weather doesn't get too horrible, they should hold and we should be dry.

[He looks off to the side and then points his PCD to the fish pond.  Which is getting rather soggy around the edges.]

My concern is if this floods.  Water travels underground and I could extend the kidou through the ground, but even I am unsure how deep it needs to go.  In the event that the water gets out of hand, we'll....need to drain the pond.

[And it sucks because he loves that pond, loves the fish inside, but if the house is in danger, then he will have to make sacrifices.  Dammit.]

Just keep an eye on things and try to stay safe. And dry-

[And he is interrupted by a cough, though it's not as horrible as it can be.

But.  The potential for worsening is always there.]

Did you catch a cold, Mr. Ukitake?

[video]

[haori]

[He shakes his head.]

This happens sometimes, Bubbles-chan.

It does? How come, Mr. Ukitake?

[Your son hears that cough, Ukitake, and he is. not. pleased.]

You shouldn't have gone out in the first place.

[haori]

Somebody had to, Riku. This isn't going to fix itself.

[reflectivedawn.livejournal.com]

Someone had to do what?

[video] even though she's in the house, yes

[juiceboxtopped.livejournal.com]

I'd... offer to help, but I think that the fish wouldn't like the help I could offer...

[video] It's safer in there XD

[haori]

It's all right. Maybe you could help elsewhere? If this keeps going on for days, there will be a lot of water that needs to be displaced somehow.

[video] Probably. She's also probably figuring out the best places to freeze shit...

[juiceboxtopped.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping so. It's a bit difficult, since I have to worry about melting, if I manage to, say, freeze water to keep it from getting into places it shouldn't, but I should be able to figure something out.

The pond can always be rebuilt once the weather clears if need be.

[Regardless, he doesn't like the sound of the cough. Getting sick is bad, getting sick in bad weather where it would be difficult to find treatment is even worse.]

And take care of yourself.

[Video]

[haori]

Mn, that is true.

[The memories will be just that, though.]

I will. I have plenty of tea inside.

[Admist all of this weather, Sokka's much more aware of the feed. The pond doesn't so much concern him, but there's something about that cough...] You might want to stay out of the rain if you can help it -- that cough could get really bad with all this water around.

[Video]

[haori]

I am aware. I just needed to take care of this.

[Video]

[feel-nevermore.livejournal.com]

Are you alright, Mr Ukitake?

Can I do something to help you?

[Video]

[haori]

Yes, I'm fine.

Just keep yourself safe. How are you faring with all this rain?

[Hermione doesn't know who this person is, but it's clear that he's gone and gotten himself sick, and is more concerned about a pond with fish in it.]

I know there are some... some charms I could use that have some effect on the weather, but... somehow, I don't think they'll work here. Just stay inside, and once the rain lightens a bit, I'll see what I can do to help. Both with you, and the pond.

[video]

[haori]

[He's sentimental, okay?]

It's worth a try, at least.

That won't be necessary, but I appreciate your concern, ah...

[Odd way to meet, but this place isn't exactly normal, is it?]

[Video]

[aangin-loose.livejournal.com]

You should go inside and get warm and dry. I can come and help so you don't have to, that way your cough doesn't get worse.

[Video]

[haori]

I think I'll be fine. It's just a little cough right now. And I'm sure everyone inside will fret over me quite a bit.

Dammit, Jiisan!

*Guess who's on his way out to drag you inside before you start hacking up lung bits?*

[He's fiiiine. You all worry too much. :|]

[ There's no way he's seeing this and not coming to see Ukitake. Shunsui is next to his best friend in a flash with a wrinkled forehead and a slightly disapproving look. ]

Ponds can be replaced easily enough.

[haori]

[Ignoring that loooook.]

I know.
