Lawrence floated there. All around him, he saw a deep blue that stretched as far as he could see. A pale light beamed down from some direction; he couldn't tell which. The tiniest of bubbles rose as dark shadows shifted about. A cold yet comforting embrace covered his entire body as everything began to go dark. He relaxed and let the sensation wash over him as he became numb to the outside world. It didn't feel painful at all...
...at least, until his head rose once again above the surface.
His body took the opportunity to begin purging the salty liquid from his lungs. It rasped his insides as the boiling-hot water gushed back out to where it first came. The coughing and gagging made the sensations even worse, and the salt stung devilishly against the sore lining. His eyes also began to strain from the sudden exposure. He barely managed to gasp down enough air before he resumed coughing again. Soon, the coughs became dry, and it wasn't much longer until his still-burning throat widened enough to ease the breathing process.
"Beh. Note to self: don't drown. It's fun for a while, but hurts like hell after."

From a distance, Remix could see another life boat, with people in it, she took a deep breathe and swam towards it, taking deep breathes every time she rose up on the surface of the water and back again, she soon got to the boat and looked at the 2 (Lawrence and Jessica).

Jette12 From a distance, Remix could see another life boat, with people in it, she took a deep breathe and swam towards it, taking deep breathes every time she rose up on the surface of the water and back again, she soon got to the boat and looked at the 2 (Lawrence and Jessica).
Jessica turned to the other girl that came in.
"Do you..by any chance have an inhaler? I think he might need one."
She asked hurriedly. She went under the waves a few times but managed to keep her head up for the most part. She had to go on her toes to keep from drowning.
"Ugh. This is one of those -coughs- times when I wish my cell phone was water proof."
She mumbled before going under again.

Dean had run to the top of the boat and jumped off and swam away after helping people on to the last of the lifeboats he was just floating in the water. Well this sucks how do I get out of this situation.

Remix lifted her bag out of the water and placed it on the life boat, she searched for an inhaler, to see if she packed one just in case, but there was none, she shook her head to the girl and closed her bag.

Lawrence coughed and sputtered a few more times until he was certain that all the water was out. Regaining his composure, he looked around at the spectacle: life boats everywhere with stray people dotted about the soon-to-be wreckage. He quickly glanced up and saw that the remainder of the boat was about to be entirely submerged. He nodded to the stragglers before taking a deep breath. Using the railing to kick off, he twisted his body and dove backwards. As he drew close to the life boat, he exchanged the stale air in his lungs for fresh sea air and disappeared below the surface once more. After going about twelve feet downward, he shot back up on the other side of the boat and grabbed onto the ropes. He glanced up at the passengers and smirked. "Did you miss me?"

Remix felt her heart jump as Lawrence submerged out of the water "that was scary!" she shouted "I could have shot an arrow at you!" she added as she relaxed a bit, relieved it was only him, she knew him from one of her subjects, but stayed quiet about it.

"Ah, my dear, but I have good faith in your judgment."
He pulled down on the ropes and hoisted himself up into the boat. He flipped over onto his back, gazing into the night sky. His hands began to travel up his face toward his hair. Without warning, he shook his head vigorously, sending small beads of water flying in all directions.

Remix used her hand to cover her eyes, so water won't get into her eyes, it started to get cold, since it was already night time, she pulled on the edge of the boat and got herself up, her hands holding opposite arms to help herself get warm.

Jessica turned away from the water being splashed at her.
"So what now?"
She asked and wrapped her arms around herself to keep from the cold. She looked around to observe their surroundings. There were a few spots that might be boats in the far distance. No one she knew.

São os loucos de Lisboa, que nos fazem duvidar...Anne and James came to the deck as the boat was tilting over, starting to submerge. The lifeboats were already at bay, and the water was filled with people and debris.
"Come on, Annie! We have to get away from here!" James leaped in the cold water, followed by his sister, and they swam ferociously to the boats while, behind him, the suction force began to push them.
"Have...to...try...harder..." The girl would not give up; she swam like she had never swam before, like this was the final race of the ultimate competition, and she heard her brother keeping pace with her.
Finally, they reached a nearly full boat. Exhausted, they climbed on it and let their bodies rest.
"Well...that was close. There wasn't even an alarm!" James was trying to act casually, while his sister just sat there, staring at the sea. So many people, so many things...they were in the middle of nowhere, and had no idea of what would happen next.
"At least we're together and we're ok..." She thought, dropping her head onto her chest.Que a Terra gira ao contrario, e os rios nascem no mar!

((Ooh, is that Portuguese? What does it say?))
Lawrence started shedding his clothes, stripping down to his boxers. After each piece was taken off, he wrung it out over the side of the boat and placed it beside him.
"No sense staying wet on a frigid night like this. You'd catch your death of cold! Are there any dry towels or blankets on this boat?"
He fingered his pocketwatch nervously, opening it up and carefully draining the water out. It kept ticking all the while. Gotta love this craftmanship. They just don't make 'em like they used to, he thought.

Remix turned to her side to avoid watching Lawrence "must you really do that? when there are girls around?" she asked as she turned a bit red, she shivered a bit as a cool breeze came through.

"Lessens the chance of hypothermia, my dear. Besides, I don't mind." Lawrence flashed a cheesy grin. "You look a little cold yourself, ya know."
