It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... flying shark

Who: Anyone in Olivine who wants to hop in
Where: Olivine Pokémon Center
When: Throughout July 30
Summary: There's a hurricane and the Sharpedo are flying, so the Pokémon Center is a natural place to take shelter.
Rating: starting with PG for injuries and mild language. Thanks, Sharpedonado
Log:

What a way to end a month of rain, rain, and... more rain. A hurricane striking the coast is just about as extreme as you can get, weather-wise, and Olivine City is battening down the hatches. The damage is inevitable, but people have been taking what precautions they can over the past few days.

What isn't helping is the ill-timed swarm of Sharpedo coming up the coast. So have fun when the storm starts lifting them out of the water and flinging them at innocent bystanders.

The Pokémon Center is an obvious safe place for travelers to hunker down and wait out the storm. It's equipped with provisions and (hopefully) space to accommodate most anyone who needs shelter. Power will more than likely be lost at some point, but the best people can do for now is wait this disaster out.

Scar makes a small growl to let Maka know that he is, at the very least, still conscious. He knows he should remain awake with a head injury like this, tempting as it is to just give into the pounding and close his eyes.

This is a far better treatment than he's used to. Clean towels for the water, dirt, and blood. Daniel comes to stand at his bedside, resting his chin on the sheets and whimpering quietly at his trainer.

"Are you all right?" Scar finally asks, his foggy eyes turning to the young woman who had helped him get inside. Priorities.

[soundmind]

A sigh comes from Maka...he's really asking about how she's doing? Honestly, the lack of self awareness people have is frightening sometimes.

(As if she has room to talk, running out in a storm to help somebody.)

"I'm fine, sir, just a little wet." So she'll take one of the towels and drape it around Daniel, then wrap one around herself. "I know we just came in from a huge storm, but can I get you anything to drink? Maybe something to eat?"

There's nothing out of the ordinary about the man to her, although she did pause momentarily when his scar was revealed from underneath the messiness. It's not as though she hasn't seen scars before, she's got some of her own--crisscrossed on her legs and torso, generally out of sight--but the size of it surprised her. Something awful must have happened in this man's past. Something that she won't ask about, her mom always said that every scar is a story and can only be shared in confidence. Confidence meaning not somebody one just met, asking or lingering on it would be incredibly rude.

"...What are your names?" Meaning Scar and the Growlithe. "My name is Maka." Obviously chitchat with a concussion patient is something to prioritize.

[envy_the_sinners]

"Scar." No, it's not his name. He doesn't even consider it to be. But it's what people have called him for years, and he has nothing else to go by. It's another moment before he realizes that she also asked about Daniel.

"The Growlithe is Daniel." Maka. He tries to commit it to memory, but there are no guarantees right now. Names are very important to Scar, though, so he does his best to remember it.

"I do not need anything further. You have done enough." He doesn't want to waste supplies for others who need and deserve them more.

[soundmind]

"I see...all right, Mr. Scar."

"Mr. Scar" sounds a little like a comic book character, not that she read any of those, of course not. That was more Black*Star's style, but thinking of her friends and things back at home is the quickest way to bum Maka out, so she stops and gently applies an icepack to his head in the meanwhile.

"I can go see if I can find something for Daniel to eat, though." If he's hungry, anyway. Or she can introduce him to her Arcanine so they can play, anything so he doesn't look so forlorn like that.

[envy_the_sinners]

Scar automatically reaches for the ice pack when Maka presses it against his head. She doesn't need to do that for him, he can hold it himself. Grumblegrump. At the mention of food for Daniel, though...

"Yes, please find him something." That, he will accept. Daniel is his responsibility, and he needs to be attended to.
