Jessica looked around frantically, her long blond hair fell loose at her sides as she ran around looking for her friends.
"Where are they, where are they, where are th--"
Her mumbling trailed off as she tripped over a girl's foot and fell into the water. Suffocating... If she could let go here and then, there would be no pain, no struggle. Her amulet floated in front of her eyes and she gave herself a mental tug before resurfacing. The water was to her chin and she had to go on her toes. It was one of those times she wished she was taller.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Do you kn--"
She stopped when she looked at the girl closely.
"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?"
She asked her ((Rei)).
((Hun, mind rping in third person view?))

Lawrence's left eye opened abruptly, bloodshot from lack of sleep. It started to slowly sink shut again, but it was only a half of the way to its destination before it spotted the rising water in his room. Groggily, he stood up and walked over to the sink in the bathroom. He turned the handle, expecting it to stop--but to his dismay, water began to pour out of the faucet. He jolted upright, quickly turning it off again. Lovely, he said, his eyes narrowing. He walked back to his bed, wading through the water that reached up to his knees, and pocketed the watch. The flood waters were cold and rasped against his skin, but the greater inconvenience in his eyes was that his books were now ruined. He bowed his head in a moment of silence and made his way to the door. The doorknob spinned harmlessly, but something was wrong...
It was stuck.
Wasting no time, he unwound the rope and tied a simple slip-knot onto the knob. He hastily climbed up on top of the bed and braced himself on the post, managing a mighty pull. The door gave way, instantly flooding the room and knocking him from his position. He choked down a lungful of water before surfacing, and then he dived down to the rope. It was then a simple matter of following the rope, slipping it off the knob, and swimming out to safety.
He swam down the deck, using the railing to propel himself forward. Soon, he spotted a small group of stragglers making their way to the lifeboats. Like a cat in midair, his body twisted around until he was floating on his back. A bemused expression crept onto his face as he casually swam into the crowd. "Nice night for a swim, eh?"

Rei gasps "I don't... beleive so... should- shouldn't we be talking about this some... other time?!" Rei tries to speak over the water starting to go in her mouth, it's salty and stings her eyes, She's spitting out water in between he choppy sentances.

A wave of concern washes over his face. "Try to float on your back, dear. If you can't do that, tread water. Just stay relaxed." He grabs the side rail and drags the poor girl over to it. "Are you all right now?"
((Edited for carelessly mismatched verb tenses. I'll watch it from now on....))

Rei coughs. "Better, but there was a smaller girl over there where i was. I think she may have gone under." I frown, concerned.

His eyes widen. Taking a large breath and crouching down upon the bars, he pushes off. He dives down in search of any signs of life, but just as he spots the poor girl, his lungs begin to scream at him. He surfaces again and descends again once he has enough oxygen to last the trip. He grabs the girl around the waist and begins to push her laboriously to the surface, making sure her head is held above the surface of the water. He holds this position for an oddly long time...

His head suddenly crashes through the surface of the water. He coughs and sputters like madly. In a faint, raspy voice, he manages, "Get her... to the boat..."
He drops below the surface again.

Anne was lying on the bed, headphones on the max, writing the adventures of the day on her journal, wondering whether she should get in her pajamas, when suddenly all hell broke loose. She heard screaming and weird cracking noises from ahead rise above the loud music on her ears and jerked upright to realize her room was already half-flooded.
"What is happening?" She asked nto no one, and her survival reflexes bolted in; not really thinking, she shoved her journal and pen into the plastic bag she kept it in, and then into the pocket of the sporty sweater she was wearing over her shirt.
Then, she left the room; the water was over her knees now, time was running fast. Desperate, she started pounding on her brother's door.
"James! James, are you there?"
James had left the shower and found he was not a very sea-loving person; actually, he was starting to feel sick to his stomach from the movements of the boat.
Looking around, he decided he was to lazy and sick to open his bags and search for the pajamas, and redressed his usual clothes, jeans, shirt and jacket. Gulping down some sea-sickness pills, he laid on the bed, water bottle in his hand, and fell asleep.
The boy had no idea of how long had passed when he heard his sister pounding on his door. "Coming..." He uttered groggily, sitting up. As he put his feet on the floor, he found them suddenly cold. The feeling woke him up completly, as he suddenly realized what was happening.
"Damn it." He stood up, absent-mindedly put the bottle he was still holding in his pocket, and opened the door.
"James, thank God!" his sister looked scared, and he sure as hell was scared too. "I have no clue what's happening, the halls are empty, what are we gonna do?"
"Stay calm, sister, let's think...it's probably best we head to the deck. Come on, let's go. Stay close to me, whatever happens!" The girl nodded and they started going up through the flooding hallways.
((gotta go, I have class now))

*From his cabin, Keith jumped up from his chair. Water had begun to flow into his room. He ran out into the hallway.*

Remix woke up, she was in one of the life boats, from a far, there was a huge wave, coming right towards the life boat, she wasn't aware of it. The wave came and turned the life boat upside down, her bag fell off, she dived in and got it, but most of her stuff fell, she couldn't breathe so she swam up, not going back down to get her stuff, but 2 things were left with her.

(((xD i was actually not sure what u meant ;o and yes, i was planning on superman coming. xD well, this works too then. ))
Jessica coughed and spat out water. She felt hands around her suddenly let go. Alert now, she rubbed her eyes and looked around. It wasn't like her to drown like that because she was a really strong swimmer. She looked down under the clear water right when her 'savior' dropped down again. Instinctively, she grabbed him by the arm and dragged him up again while holding on to the side bars.
"Oh my gawsh. Are you okay?"
She asked as she took a few lungfuls of air.
