DOUBLE DUDE POST: Flood edition! (Dated to just before Pele's arrival)
[So it's been a few days and the rain simply has not let up. Stairwells look more like waterfalls, The lake has swollen so much that it's started encroaching in on the parking lot and beyond, and the school's drainage pipes are near their bursting point. Some, unfortunately, already have reached that point. Ew.
Miraculously, the school's electricity and subsequently the network is still working... barely. Rick's video feed opens up with some static, the imaging going on and off, a blurr of a bird's eye view of some of the hallways... or more accurately, a core's eye view. His voice even sounds a little more garbled than usual, background sounds of perpetual rain and water gushing every which where aside...]
Man, that is lookin' dangerous. [The video feed blips in and out and seems to settle in the school's boiler room. It's flooded pretty badly, and of course Raiden is up to this torso in it, desperately trying to fix bursting pipes.]
Like this guy, what he's doin' looks pretty dangerous.
[OH... CRAP IS THAT WHEATLEY? Raiden looks surprised--wait, this looks like the green one.] Hey... shouldn't you be som--[Raiden is suddenly and none too gloriously spit in the face by pipe, complete with GGBLGBGBGLLBGGG sputtering sounds.]
For all we know those could be eel infested waters. Electric eel shark hybrids! On steroids.
What?! You're lying. There's nothing down here. [WAS THAT A SHADOW... he honestly wouldn't put it past this school...] Why don't you actually be some help and turn on a light or something?
Can do, but don't say I didn't warn you--they're attracted to the light. Probably. [Behold, Rick has a flashlight. It unfortunately only helps illuminate a small area in front of Raiden. Another pipe bursts behind the soaked blonde and he finally throws his hands up in the air, making a big, frustrated splash. It looks like he's been at this for hours, to no avail.]
That's it! Hey, if you're broadcasting to the network...?
[He sloshes up to Rick, peering up into his big green robot eyeball.] Someone send an actual plumber down here! I'm not qualified for this! This is too much.
[[LMAO EDIT: For all intents and purposes, Rick will effectively be acting as a telephone for Raiden, and only able to translate replies into audio.]]

Evve was going to kill someone, and his name rhymes with DICK. ]
You're not a ninja. You are far too loud and eccentric. You would never blend into a crowd. [ Her way of slashing dreams while pressing for information. ]

Rick turned into Captain Falcon Core and set himself on fire.NO--this is his chance. He's not gonna' mess this up!]Stay right where you are. Don't move a muscle.
[Swiftly, Rick disconnects himself from the network so he can see again, and bids Raiden goodbye.]
Later, blondie. Remember--eel sharks.
