Action; Advance Party

[indy_wannabe]

[The Advance Party has definitely made great progress, but they are now in the middle of the Western Desert. While they are reasonably well-supplied, it's not necessarily pleasant.]

Savior. Why is it so hot?

Who the fuck builds a city in this kind of climate?

[at_too_low]

[He gives a small exhausted laugh and pats your shoulder]

Maybe they didn't have a choice. Would you have attempted to cross the desert to find another place to settle?

[And, whoops, guess who's still wearing all of his clothes.]

[kaidont]

I'd try to get out a least.

[Kaido, who's to say they're not just after the desert]

[at_too_low]

Yeah, but you're just one person. Imagine having to travel with a group of people - families, children... Getting out could be more trouble than staying.

[kaidont]

Okay but how do you get the families and kids in the desert in the first place?

[at_too_low]

Maybe the same way it happened with us. They got caught here during the war, found their own resolution to it, and eventually built a city here.

[Groan]

Maybe.

[kaidont]

... how're you holding up anyway? No point in avoiding sunburn if you die from the heat under all that.

[at_too_low]

I'm fine!

[... And, in accordance with all laws of narration, this is when he sways and trips over his own feet, falling down]

[kaidont]

[--savior's sake--] Atsuro!

[He'll catch you before you can reach the ground and make you sit down]

[at_too_low]

[HE'S ALRIGHT that is to say he's conscious. He'll let you make him sit down and chuckle weakly]

I-I'm fine, really. Just a bit tired.

[kaidont]

Like hell you're fine.

When's the last time you drank?

[at_too_low]

E-Er...

[Alright you got him there]

1/2

[kaidont]

--savior's sake.

[All right, let him get his water bottle]

[kaidont]

[And opening it]

... be more careful, you idiot. 'f you don't do it for yourself, do it for me. Or those people you're trying to help--what good's it gonna do them if you collapse in the desert before you even get there?

[at_too_low]

[Weak laugh]

Y-Yeah. Sorry...

[He'll take that bottle and drink some--a little greedily at first, but he remembers himself quick and makes sure not to drink too much]

... I did think I was fine, though. I-I think I'm just not used to this.

[kaidont]

... I'll call castform if I need to.

[He'd been saving him, but there's no point in saving up his pokemon if everyone's too exhausted to fight when they get there]

[at_too_low]

[Shaking his head]

It's okay, I'll... really be fine. Save him for if many people collapse and we need to make a stop.

[kaidont]

[... sigh. He kind of wants to carry you, but he knows that'd be as dumb as you forgetting to drink]

[at_too_low]

[He'll close the bottle and return it to you]

Here. Thanks.

[kaidont]

[Taking it back]

... think you can stand?

[at_too_low]

Y-Yeah. Give me a hand, though.

[kaidont]

[If by "a hand" you mean "slide an arm under your shoulders to help you up" then sure]

[at_too_low]

[Small chuckle--you don't need to go that far, but he's not complaining. Standing up with your help]

Thanks.

[kaidont]

Don't mention it.

[He'll just stick with you. This way he can make sure you drink at the same time as him]
