Huh? I figured she'd want to get into details and find out why... thank God. "Well, I can control water; it's movement and temperature. The gem on my forehead is an 'outlet', shall we say. I can absorb water into my body and generate it as well."

Rake looks away from the moon at Kumizu and Seiya, with intrest, and then blows a thin, short stream of fire. "Thats all I can really do...mm other than that other thing....and of course riding my motorbike." He turns around and sits on the side of the tower, back to the long drop to the ground.

"I've always envied those who could use elements, they have purely destructive powers." Seiya said, her tone once again not telling whether it was an insult or a compliment.
She took a step forward and the floor gave on last creak before splitting underneath her. One second she was there and the next she wasn't. There was a loud crash from below.

Without a second thought, Kumizu dropped his cane and jumped down after her. A crash followed his disappearance as well.
A floor below, everything was pitch black. Kumizu knew better than to think that this room was empty. "Seiya! Where are you? Are you hurt?" He hesitated, then clenched his fist. When it opened, an orb of blue light was floating above his hand. "Seiya?"

Rake dropped to his knees and yelled into the hole, "Seiya! Kumizu!" He looked around frantically, nothing to do them much good, and dropped into the hole, still hanging onto the floor, not wanting to drop down until he knows he won't land on someone. He blew a small line of fire, just enough to light the room and find a place to land. After seeing the soft blue light around Kumizu's hand, he carefully approached him. "I guess its too late to have second thoughts coming here. Did you find Seiya?"

A few minutes later Seiya opened her eyes,
"Ugh. What the hell..." She mumbled, trying to stand up until her head smacked into something solid. "OW!" She shrieked, putting her hands up she realized it was wood, feeling around further she felt rubble on all sides of her.
She was buried underneath something.
"..." She took a deep breath and began to check for injuries, "This will be a piece of cake, I can move these." Her voice nothing more than a mumble to anyone listening outside.

As he was searching, Kumizu remembered his cane. Damnit... no time for it now. He continued moving around, fighting against the the pain. He was always in pain, he was used to it.
Kumizu heard Seiya's muffled voice within the room. He couldn't tell where it came from, though. "Seiya!" he shouted. "If you can hear me, speak again! Make some noise!"

Seiya turned her head towards Kumi's voice,
"Don't strain yourself, I'm fine."
Carefully registering the amount of energy she used she began to push the rubble off, piece by piece, trying not to cause it to collapse further. A few minutes later she'd made excellent progress until she met with a huge boulder.
It wasn't going to be possible for her to move it, it would require to much energy and there wasn't enough space or air.

Hearing that Seiya was okay made Kumizu feel better, but he still wanted to find her. He heard the rustling as she moved the rubble, and finally found her spot. When he got to her, she was still stuck behind a huge boulder.
The orb disappeared and Kumizu put his hands on the ground. If anyone in the room could see, they'd notice that a puddle was forming around the rock. It strengthened until, finally, the water pushed up the boulder as if it was a geyser. He froze it, making sure the rock was stable. "Okay. It's safe."

Seiya head poked from beneath the boulder as she crawled out, dusting off her clothes and fixing her head she looked at Kumi out of the corners of her eyes,
"I could have done that, too."
Truth was, she couldn't...that is...fully control her powers, she tried not to use them too often.

"Well, why didn't you?" Kumizu asked with a sarcastic smile. He took Seiya's hand and helped her up. His face turned serious again. "Are you okay, though? Did you get hurt by the fall?" Kumizu had an orb in his hand once again and started to look Seiya over for cuts and bruises, but halfway through he realized that she probably wouldn't believe that answer if she asked. He stopped, holding out the glowing light for her.
Behind him, the ice melted and the water gently and soundlessly let the boulder back onto the ground. The water then trickled over to Kumizu's boot, where it went under and disappeared. He could absorb water from any part of his body or clothing, and he made sure that this was subtle enough so neither she nor Rake could see it.
((I'm not sure if Flir's online or not. Never mind. And don't worry about it. It's no big deal.))

Rake, as usual felt useless. All he could do was watch Kumizu rescue Saiya, and be there for any support he could give. He came next to Kumizu, "Are you alright? You look sort of pale..." Rake took the silly map out of his pocket and blew a little flame onto it, forming a very makeshift, very short torch. "We should probably get out of here before anything else collapses."
((yeah sorry I had to run an errand for my mom, she's kinda sick ;d))

"Well," Seiya sulked, "'Cause." She answered indifferently. She had a small bruise on the side of her leg.
"Thank you, I gues. Whatever. I can take care of myself." Seiya said giving her half-done thank you.
Seiya turned to Rake, "Yeah, let's get out of here. It is dangerous." She walked a little stiffly but seemed fine.
[Where to now? Park? It's still too early for her to go home, at least in her opinion.]

"Maybe we can check out that playground. I'll buy us some popcicles. Or the hotsprings. It might be good if Saiya is sore." He turns to Kumizu, "Your cain is upstairs right? You take Saiya outside and I'll get it for you." Before he can protest, Rake is out of the room and dashing up the stairs to find his cain.

Well, Kumizu was about to protest, but Rake was already at the stairs. He sighed. He shouldn't have this problem. He can fix any other injuries... he punched his palm, not realizing that he was still with Seiya. Before she would say anything, he simply responded, "I'm sorry I couldn't get to you before you fell.
"Shall we go, then?" Kumizu moved around the room, even if the orb disappeared during a hand gesture ((like punching an open palm)). He finally found a doorway out and led Seiya through. They ended up at the very base of the belltower, one level lower than where they had entered. There were rocks and other random obstacles strewn about, and he helped Seiya move through until they reached the top to meet with Rake. By the end of the trip, Kumizu had to sit down.
