Welcome to Gaia! ::

Determined, Lillian threw the rope once more at the Moon Man, trying to reach him only to miss horribly.

She watched as the Moon Man was finally reached. "A lasso... I admit I didn't think of that. Hmph. Well, no matter who saves him.. good job."

She was so tired. From being knocked out and half drowned she could barely muster the strength to stand, but she continued to look around the area for anyone needing help. She noticed someone still in the canal, and flung a rope to him.

AS I FORGET TO ROLL.



She missed, managing to accidentally hit him with the rope.. but have it float too far back to be reached.

Shun was quite done with the parade as well at this point. Rikki wasn't dead so that was good enough he supposed, though he just sort of 'hmphed' at Danny before turning away. There were still a lot of people either laying around or still in the water. Did he really want to help more out?

He supposed it was technically his duty now to do just that. That was somewhat of a pain.

Oh and there Cyril was in the water. He was tempted to just let him flounder about until someone else spotted him. And sure enough, Alec was on the case instead.

Lillian tried to help Alec pull the other from the water, even if he refused it and did most of the work. She couldn't tell if there was anyone else in the water. She couldn't tell if there was anyone else needing help. Still, all she knew was that she felt useless at this point.

She turned to Farvardin, listening to him. "It seems that way... and with most of us unable to aim something as simple as a rope without trying several times they MUST be having the time of their lives right now."

Alec took a long slow breath exhaling. He'd done as he set out too in helping who he could. He couldn't see anyone else in any real time danger presently. "You have my back..I got yours no worries." Alec dismissed his owing him, patting the other on the arm gently.

Slowly he rubbed at his head, seeing as it still smarted. Letting his knees sink onto the grass, just too catch his breathe and calm his racing heart. While he was afraid of being trampled, he needed a moment before charging off again. "Keep an eye out if anyone else needs help..I think we got to everyone so far." He cast a look at Shun, sending him another quiet mouthed thank you. For the moment he let himself sit there, listening to Farvardin talking to Lillian, and glancing over at Shankuntala and her knew kitten companion. Continuing to survey the scene he noted that Danny was safe, and so too was Rikki. Elliot had been pulled out from the canal after a bit of a mishap, just as the child in a mouse costume, and moon man had been. Lenore was unharmed..and while cold Cyril too, was fine as well.

Everyone was accounted for. Alec couldn't have been more relieved.

Axel saw the pink-haired boy from the flower stall on one of his furtive scans of the crowd, but he looked away again before he spotted Preacher. The ground was a bit slippery with rose petals from the ox carts, and he didn't want to fall on his face.

Axel was kind of trancing out again, getting back into the rhythm of just dragging the barge along. He was also tired, and although his aches had mostly faded every time he moved in certain ways his bruises twinged painfully. For all of those reasons, or perhaps just because he was not as quick on the uptake as some, he did not hear the creaking or notice the danger to the Utopian barge until the other barge pullers started running over to try and help pull it out of danger.

It was a futile effort. Axel wasn't close enough to the Utopian barge to be hit by any falling debris, but he was struck by a crazed horse from behind on its mad eye-rolling charge to nowhere. He hit the ground hard enough to black out for a ******** horses.

HP: 5

It seemed as though no sooner had Farvardin and Elliot spoken, then disaster did in fact strike. With a deafening crack, the barge's mast snapped right off. Horses scattered and falling debris rained around them. "Watch out!" she yelled, just in time to see a stray horse knock Farvardin over. She sprang right back up though, and threw herself into the fray helping to pull others out. Luckily, Farvardin managed to yank Elliot out of the water. This was going to be a long day.

For Preacher, however, dodging the horses and falling wood was easy. Moving with grace indicative of a good night's sleep, Preacher even managed to sending a few parade viewers out of the way of danger. They had all just stood there, mouths open, like so many bumps on a log. But this kind of chaos sat ill with her and she jerked her head around wildly, straining to see if anyone needed help. Her mouth opened and a strangled half-warning came out as Axel was knocked over by a horse, but he was fine. Of course he was fine.
