Sensory Regain: Aqua

[keystaff]

WHO: Sakura Kinomoto, OPEN
WHERE: Aquarium
WHEN: Early Feb
WHAT: Sakura gets a sensory component with her remembering capturing the Aqua Clear Card. This results in her suddenly being teleported to the aquarium with the turtles and (temporarily) be able to control the water until she leaves.
WARNINGS: None so far beyond water?



[Sakura is just going about her errands, school and work as per usual so far. Now things were mostly back to normal after last month and all. It's only when she thinks back to the fire, to encountering Derek there and how he had asked her if she had any cards that might help against it. She does wish she had her cards, her staff to be able to help more. She hates feeling so helpless and unable to support everyone during everything with the app since she got it back.

Then she remembers, with a different staff, capturing a card relating to water. Aqua. But before she has a chance to really register it, to potentially message Derek to confirm with him, she is suddenly in the aquarium. In the water with the turtles, who seem probably just as startled about her sudden appearance there as Sakura herself is. Sakura blinks, glancing around and giving her trademark:]

H-hoeeeeeeeee? How did I get here?!

[Which is of course her initial surprise, Sakura not yet realizing she herself can control the water while she is in the enclosure with the turtles. But hi to anyone visiting or working at the aquarium near the turtle enclosure?

She might also send messages to people asking for help because of how sudden this is, if people want to respond, in her letting them know she is in the enclosure with the turtles.]

[It's like his worst nightmare come to life.

One moment, he's accompanying Sakura on one of her errands, relishing the time they were spending together-- and the next, she suddenly winks out of existence, vanishing without a trace in mid-air. His heart nearly seizes in his chest as the reality sinks in, all of the possibilities and implications crashing upon him. Was this Vanderwheele's doing? Was this some sort of rebound from what happened in September?

He calls out her name, frantically, hoping against hope that maybe she just turned invisible or something. But when no one replies, he can feel the panic enveloping him, desperate and strong. He didn't want to go through another stretch of time like that without her. Not again.

The buzz of his phone in his pocket, however, snaps him away from that spiral, getting him to fumble for it in the process. The moment he lays eyes on her text, asking for help, it's like a heavy weight is lifted from his shoulders, and he nearly collapses with relief. Good. She was safe. Mostly, anyway. The turtle thing was strange, but he'd question that later!!

Right now, the main priority was getting to the aquarium, and fast. After sending her a text in return, he books it towards the building, grateful it wasn't too far from where they were. It takes a lot of running and breathless questions and confusion before he finally finds the enclosure within, and he dashes immediately there once he spots her.]

SAKURA--!

[His hands slap across the glass, desperate to get to the other side and over to her but not entirely sure how. He's pretty sure he can't break it open, unless he wanted to get charged for property damage, but there had to be some way...]

Are you alright?! How in the world did you get in here?!

[THAT'S THE QUESTION OF THE DAY, XIAOLANG]
