Water, water everywhere...
Who: Kit and anybody
The chocobos were agitated, squawking at one another and pawing the ground in their stalls. The flood hadn't yet penetrated their barn, but it soon would, and they could smell the rising water outside and sense danger.
Kit hurried to get Salali harnessed. "Easy girl," she murmured, petting her chocobo's head to soothe her. "It'll be alright. I know you don't like going out in the rain, but we have to. It's not safe to stay here. We've gotta get you and the other to higher ground."
Though even as she cinched up Salali's harness, Kit wondered how she was going to do that. Salali was used to her, so Kit could handle her easily despite her nervous state. But the other chocobos wouldn't be so easy to handle, especially for someone as small as herself. She could probably handle them, but only one at a time. And getting them to accept her hand to get them harnessed and lead them out would take time. Too much time. No way she'd be able to get even half of them to safety on her own before the flood waters closed in...
Kit leaned against the wall tiredly. That was the fifth box of books she'd brought up, and she'd barely cleared one shelf. The flood waters would soon reach the apartments, and when they did, not only would the people be in trouble, but the books in the library on the first floor would all be ruined. She recognized that the safety of people was more important, but still, all those books, all those stories and all that knowledge lost... she couldn't allow it! Not even if she had to haul everything to the upper floors herself.
So once she'd caught her breath she headed back down for another load. She had to get as many books upstairs as she could before the elevators stopped working. If they did, this was going to get a lot harder...
Where: The Chocobo Barn and the Guest Apartments
When: Backdated to the 19th
What: Flood event! Kit will be trying to get the Chocobos to safety on higher ground, then trying to save the books in Building 2's 1st floor library by getting them to higher floors. Help will be needed in both places.
Warnings: Flood related dangers maybe?

"Of course -- you don't mind if my Pokemon help too?" He holds out two miniaturized Pokeballs from his pocket. ...Two?

"Sure!", she says. "I'd get Emerick to help- he's my Chikorita-, but he's kinda too little. Dragonite's big and strong, though, so he'll probly be a big help." She pauses a moment at seeing the other Pokeball. "Who's the other one, though?"
no subject
"I received a Bulbasaur for Christmas. It's small and young, but it can still help, it just can't lift heavy things." Sam puts the Pokeballs back in his pocket. "I can show it to you when we get to the library, how about that?"

"Once this is all over, we should have Emerick and Bulbasaur meet sometime," kit said. "He's already met Lir before, but it'd be nice for him to meet other little Pokemon too."
When they got to the library, Professor oak would see that all of the bottom most shelves had been cleared of books and that the next ones up had been started on. "We're working from the bottom up," Kit said. "That way we'll have a bit more time once the water starts coming in."
