Panic in the Lake Mahoutokoro Arrival Thread

Roleplaying as Ginyami Midorimori from Mahoutokoro
"English | Japanese"

With Valentin's Bubble Head Charm, Ginyami thought he and Mathias would be fine once they breeched the surface, but this was not so. Blood continued to seep from Mathias' head injury and into the water once the Bubble Head Charm had dissipated. Despite reaching oxygen, he did not seem to be taking it in at all and Ginyami began to grow increasingly worried.

"Yami! How is he? We have to get him out of this cold water!"

Hiro's familiar voice reached the fourth year's ears as he tried to readjust his grip on Mathias and Ginyami shook his head.

"He's not looking good. I don't know how badly he hurt his head, but he hasn't shown any signs of consciousness."

Agreeing with Hiro that they had to get him out of the cold lake water, he swam the limp boy with Hiro's help to shore. Ginyami was already running through spells in his mind that might have been best to revive or heal the injured young man. In the meantime, Hiro took out his wand and shot red sparks straight up into the air.

"MATTIE! Are you alright?!"

A red-haired girl appeared soon after, one slightly younger than Ginyami but older than Hiro, who cried out to Mathias in vain. She reached for his head only to find her hand covered in his blood when she pulled it back again to exclaim he was bleeding. Then she was calling for help and healing.

"I can try," Ginyami told her once they were on land, and the girl wasted no time in attempting to perform what Ginyami recognized as CPR on Mathias. Ginyami, for his part, drew out his wand again and aimed it at the red-haired boy's head injury. "Episkey," he incanted, hoping the spell would do the trick. He didn't know how much internal bleeding or damage the other boy was suffering or how much his magic would have been able to help, but he had to at least try. While the frantic red-haired girl was doing her absolute best to get some air in his lungs and to get his heart pumping again, using magic to attempt to heal his head was the least he could do.

The…diverse array of younger years that he had met was..appreciated? He was unsure how his first impression of the younger blonde boy would ever prove useful to Sara. But even the direst situation must’ve been some sort of lesson disguised as ..painful painful memories to live with. Like the existence of flowers, Quidditch, the hex wizard tournament. Or even almost drowning in the bottom of the sea. Not that he meant being around the boy was a dire situation, but.. Gah Sara hated to even think about it…but he wasn’t..helping the situation…like… at all.

With the speed and strength Sara was shocked the boy even had, he resurfaced first and Sara joined in shortly. Alas the 4th year would only be able to take one relief breath before he was attacked with a flurry of water splashes created by the energetic ( and unnervingly loud ) blond boy. Sara dipped his head back down for a moment. The eerie silence of water suddenly felt much more peaceful than…whatever was back up the surface. At least from the waters, he wouldn’t be able to hear any more loud noises. But he was not a mermaid, so slowly but hesitantly, his head emerged from the water. Not looking forward to being attacked by water splashes again, it was only half his head that emerged first, his eyes turning into a narrowed glare if the onslaught of water splashes continued. Perhaps it was a good idea it was still broad daylight. People had mentioned that it was the intensity of Sara’s eyes that were the most..unnerving. (TP)

The vibes, and then cut it by 50% because its daylight: (warning a bit of a scary pic)

The water, though it had almost killed him and many of his friends just now, managed to become a sort of blanket for the older boy. Shielding from the …energetic blond kid and his screeching. Seeing he didn’t seem to calm down, Sara looked for Chiaki if she resurfaced as well. If she did, he’d give her a concerned look, signaling some sort of language with his eyes as he moved this glance between her and the other younger kid. ‘ Help?’. He had made children cry more than calm down on several occasions. This was not his specialty. But from what he sensed, it was more hers. @Chiaki Hiroi@Pax Zhang

But hey, he could…try? He merely lifted a bit of his head to speak in his usual gruff voice in english, but hid down back in the water when he was done. “ Me too ..” he tried to sympathise with the boy. If he ever could hear him through all his screaming. It would be nice to see his mother again. He would even endure the sweet scent of fresh flowers that seemed to stick to her all the time all for a warm hug. “ But others can help. I can help. Come come. Let's go “ he tried to urge the panicking boy. Sara was undoubtedly tired from the whole situation. But leaving a kid without making sure they got to shore somehow made him feel even more tired. Sara couldn’t just… leave him here. He’d try to swim towards the boy somewhat like a shark. Slow. Steady. With only his angry eyes for Gideon to see before he pounced. There was no pouncing of course. Just a scary looking boy trying to comfort a poor frightened child.

Action: Trying to encourage @Giddeon Athanatos to stop being useless and move to the shore . Silently asking Chiaki to help as well.

TW: mentions of death

Botan didn’t know it but Hadashi had saved his life. If he hadn’t then Botan would have died. Botan did not even think about stopping to thank the stranger, he had just climbed, well dived, out of the window into the freezing water. The water inside the ship had been the same temperature, but some how it had felt warmer inside of the ship. Maybe it was the fact that the ship served as some protection to what was in the lake. But it would drown them, so they had to get out. All of them. If they did not, they would be dead.

But right now Botan was floating in the middle of the lake. His cousin Akihiko had come back and had swum back to the middle of the lake, and had apparently been swimming back to the ship. The ship had completely submerged at this point, so going back to it was basically suicide to return to the ship. But why? Why had Akihiko swam back? Did he have friends on the ship? A girlfriend? Or… had he returned for Botan? Botan would have demanded an anwser, but Botan could hardly catch his breath to drag Aki back to shore. Shore. He had to get to the shore.

Botan started swimming, well more like doggy paddling, to the shore. He flipped on his back to make sure Aki was following. Aki was slow, but he was coming. Botan grabbed Aki’s right arm with his left and pulled. Aki was lying face down and Botan needed him to flip over. Botan took a deep breath and screamed. “FLIP OVER!” he yelled with all of his air. Aki finally did it. He took a deep breath, and kicked with all of his might. He hoped that Aki would help, but if not, then the two boys would be spending a lot longer in the freezing water. Botan was on the brink of getting hypothermia, but he was determined not to. The boys would make it to shore and be fine. They would be fine.

Where had Botan gone? As he paddled through the water, puppy dog style, he grew tired. While his parents had invested in many tutors and teachers for their son, they had never paid for a single swimming lesson, or anything of the sort. He really hadn’t had any experience with water at all until this particular moment in time.

Akihiko could only swim for so long. He really wasn’t built for this sort of thing. He could barely lift a small weight the one time he had attempted in the family’s fitness room. The fact that he had even made it to the center of the lake was an achievement in and of itself. But he couldn’t go on for much longer. He paddled a moment more before collapsing in the cold, murky water.

It was an inconvenient place to collapse. Maybe it hadn’t been very smart to return to the waters for his cousin. Botan was a capable individual, and he would fare better in the waters much better than Akihiko would. Much, much better.

Akihiko’s lungs burned from a lack of oxygen, but he couldn’t muster the strength to flip back over. Such a simple movement should have been easy for anyone, but after swimming to shore, and then back to the middle of the lake was draining.

He could hear his cousin yelling for him to flip over, and realized if he didn't he was as good as dead. He was already losing conscience. He gave his one last hurrah and managed to flip himself over in the water, losing his last shred of conscience as he did.

With Sara's support, Chiaki helped the boy up to the surface. She was never necessarily the strongest of swimmers, but she could just about to manage to break the surface, alongside the almost ominous looking boy and the loud blonde. Slowly, she would gently float towards the shore, hoping to gather a professor's attention, or perhaps a nurse of sorts to help the others that she hoped would be following them behind.

She could feel Sara's eyes on her, and turned to look back, catching his helpless gaze as he attempted to console the blonde.

"Kohana-san is right," she said, approaching the boy closer. "We should keep going to the shore. We'll be of more use there, and you'll definitely be safer there than here."

Hoping her words would take effect, she would paddle to the shore and pull herself onto the grass. The cold water was a shock to her system that she wasn't prepared for, and she quickly sank to her knees, shivering.

"There's still people," she would call out, though her voice was little more than a strained croak by now. "People below... there's still people below. Please... get a teacher... get help..."

She felt herself slump a little, blinking furiously to not succumb to the tiredness.

Christopher was completely oblivious to the pandemonium that was unfolding around him. He lay on the shore, unconscious and even paler than usual. His breathing was shallow but it was there, he was deathly cold. As he lay there he had the most bizarre dream, but it was more of a nightmare. He was back on the boat which was now completely filled with water. He was somehow able to breathe. The water was as icy as it had been but the pressure against his body made him think he was even deeper than when he'd made his escape.

As he looked around, he realized he must be in the hold of the ship. He had to get out, somehow. He swam towards the closest set of stairs but it was very hard for him to see. He eventually made it up to the next level of the ship. He had to find Hiro. Christopher didn't really have "friends" like other people but Hiro would be the closest thing to a friend he had. He had to make sure Hiro had made it out unscathed. He swam past the quarters and saw no one. He was relieved. He swam to the next level, the one he'd escaped through. He didn't see anyone else and decided he need to leave before whatever was allowing him to breathe stopped. He turned around for one last look and then prepared to swim through the window once more.

As he turned again he felt something brush against his back. It didn't feel hard enough to be part of the ship. He turned to look and let out what would've been a blood-curdling scream on the surface. As he turned around a hand was in his face and as he looked up, he saw the body of an older man. It was one of the adults who had accompanied them. He must've stayed behind to get all of the students out.

Then all at once it happened. Suddenly, Christopher could no longer breathe. In a panic, he immediately and powerfully swam through the window once more. Kicking with all his might he tried to surface. The light was slowly growing but he was fading. It got harder and harder to propel himself forward with each kick and he felt himself start to fall asleep. And then, back on the beach, he was awake with a very sharp and audible intake of breath. He looked up at the sky and smiled weakly, realizing that he had reached safety.
