REALITY CHECK

[fukouda]

[well guys, today might seem like any other normal day--except for the fact a young man seems to be splashing around stupidly in a nearby canal. yes, in the canal. shouldn't it be freezing? probably.]

E-Ehh-!?

[notinvisobill]

[Thats not something you see every day.]

[fukouda]

[no, not usually. well, touma hasn't noticed danny yet, he just finally manages to reach the wall, taking a deep breath.]

[notinvisobill]

[Offering his hand to help Touma up.]

[fukouda]

Ah...

[it takes him a moment to notice, but as soon as he does, he grabs onto danny's helping hand.]

[fukouda]

[oh hey, someone up above!]

D-Does this look like I'm playing!?

[fukouda]

[he calms down a bit, but it's still fucking cold.]

It's more like I don't know how I ended up swimming here in the first place. Just how am I supposed to get out of here...?

[truthtouched]

[... yeeeah dude, Ed totally isn't coming in after you.]

You okay?

[fukouda]

Ahh...

[his splashing about calms down a bit as he turns to ed.]

Besides the freezing cold water, yeah, I'm just fine.

[truthtouched]

Okay then!

[Because with a clap and a flash of blue light, the wall of the canal is... extending out a big stone hand to help Touma out of the water?]

Grab on!

[fukouda]

[whoa. was that magic? touma just watches for a moment, and once the flashy movements stop, he grabs onto the hand, lifting himself up.]

[overinconfident]

[Well, that's something you don't see every day.]

... are you okay, sir? Do you need me to get help?

[fukouda]

A-Ahh, help would be really appreciated!

[BECAUSE IT'S COLD AS FUCK DOWN HERE.]

[overinconfident]

Alright, hold on one moment.

[Leon is gone for like three minutes, but when he does come back, he's tying a rope to part of the railing and lowering it down.]

[fukouda]

[oh smart one leon, no magic negating here! touma grabs onto the rope and pulls himself up.]

Haah, thanks. You saved me.

[windswrath]

[ Saleh? Help someone? Yeah, not really his thing. His interest was just piqued by the unfamiliar face. ]

Hello down there?

[fukouda]

[don't you just say hello I NEED HELP--he looks up, spotting saleh.]

W-Wha-?

[windswrath]

Unless you cannot actually swim, I recommend you stop flailing around for a moment to use the stairs to your left to get out of there.

[fukouda]

Stai-- [oh.

touma will just... stop his splashing around and swim over to those stairs, climbing up onto the sidewalk to catch his breath.]
