[I GUESS!!!

He'll let Akira use his shoulder a crutch, but not without clicking his tongue in annoyance.]

I'll leave you behind if you fall in.

[Is Akira going to be okay getting into the boat like this...]

[survivaltricks]

Doesn't count if you push me.

[HE WILL. . . BE OKAY-ISH?? when they reach the boat he manages to brace himself on the edge and like. . . hoist himself into same without too much trouble. once he is seated, he reaches for an oar]

[miscakes]

Who said I would push you? You're capable of falling in all by yourself.

[Does Akechi look disappointed Akira didn't trip and take the Nestea plunge into nastiness...? Maybe so. He keeps an eye on him as he settles in, following after him once he's secure. Time to grab and oar to rescue their limbs.]

[survivaltricks]

I'm just saying: doesn't count if you do.

[since Akira is in the boat is Akechi gonna shove it into the lake. . .]

[EITHER WAY AT SOME POINT THEY MANAGE TO GET IN THE WATER, and Akira attempts to steer them towards their floating limbs, which are like little marshmallows floating on the top of a cup of hot cocoa. weird analogy, I know]

[miscakes]

[why would you ruin hot cocoa with this anology al how could you

AT SOME POINT, THO... Despite Akechi having only one arm, which makes things even harder. They eventually get close enough to nudge their limbs over with the oars, but maybe not close enough to see how things have gone horribly wrong... Unfortunate.]

You have both of your arms. I'll leave the retrieval in your hands.

[He's not going to risk accidentally dropping an oar because he only has one hand, buddy.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . . yeah, that's fair. Akira scoots to the edge of the boat, leaning over it slightly as he extends the oar across the water, trying to nudge Akechi's arm closer as he does so. look!! he's helping Akechi out first!!!]

You know.

[a beat]

We really could've used a hand right about now.

[NOW IS NOT THE TIME]

[miscakes]

[.......................

ROCKS THE BOAT.

LITERALLY.]

[survivaltricks]

[WAS EXPECTING THAT, SO. . .! braces himself on the side of the boat, shooting Akechi a Look as he continues to fish the disembodied arm out of the water]

[but when it gets close enough to the boat, Akira kind of. . . freezes]

[. . .]

Ah. . .

[miscakes]

[Oh.

Hm.

Don't like that.]

... What is it?

[DON'T JUST SAY "AH"...]

[survivaltricks]

. . . your arm made a few new "friends."

[hang on he is leaning over the side of the boat to grab the arm by the wrist and pull it out of the water. it dangles from his grasp as he holds it as far away from his body as he can, and the reason for this becomes clear soon enough]






[the arm is covered in leeches]

[miscakes]

[














softly screams on the INSIDE.]

... Take responsibility and keep it from escaping. [HE DOESN'T CARE IF THAT JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO FISH THE LEG OUT...] I can't reattach it while it's like that.

[survivaltricks]

[YOU POINTED THE GUN AT HIM AKECHI???]

[rolls his eyes a bit but does tuck the arm underneath one of the seats, where it flops about like a captured fish]

On the bright side, mine's been in there longer.

And now I almost don't want to fish it out.

[but he is rowing his way towards the leg. . .]

[miscakes]

[IT HAD NO BULLETS????

Just. Watches his arm flop like a captured fish, ig.]

Fish your leg out or the deal's off.

[Keep rowing, Akira........... He refuses to help him hobble up the stairs.]

[survivaltricks]

[oh my god]

You'd call it off that easily? After you got mad at me for supposedly not adhering to it?

[please Akechi]

[once they get close enough to the leg tho he does, indeed, lean over the boat's side to fish it out]

[miscakes]

I won't collaborate with someone who sabotages themselves.

[So, yes..................... And no he's not self-aware enough to know how hypocritical that is. It's fine.

Other things that are fine? The fact that Akira's leg is probably going to bob suspiciously when he starts fishing it out. Hm.]

[survivaltricks]

[jim halpert stare into the camera]

[the leg does bob suspiciously, and then jerks out of Akira's reach. he lets out a surprised noise]

— it moved.

Can you row me a little to the left?

[with his ONE ARM]

the leg does bop...

[miscakes]

[............... HM. Don't like that.]

... Is there something else down there?

[How will he do this with a single arm? We just don't know. But, yeah. Okay. Rowing them a little to the left it is.]

bop to the beat. . .

[survivaltricks]

[DON'T LIKE THIS]

[once they're close enough, Akira once again reaches out with the oar, only to ONCE AGAIN have the leg suddenly bob away from him. this time, he catches a small flash of color under the water as it does so]







Holy shit I think there is.

bop bop bop, bop to the top...

[miscakes]

[Ah.

Shit.

That's great.]

—Then let's hurry up and retrieve it before it's dragged down.

[He may or may not have been acting like an ass over leggy loss before BUT DON'T ACTUALLY LOSE YOUR LEG, AKIRA??]

[survivaltricks]

Hang on, I think I can—

[leans waaaaaay over the edge of the boat with his one remaining foot hooked against a seat so he doesn't fall in. instead of using the oar to nudge the leg towards himself, he grabs it tightly by the thigh and yanks it up]

[a colorful tentacle wrapped around the leg's ankle rises out of the water too]

[SCREAM]

HEY!!! That's mine!

[tug of war is ensuing]

[miscakes]

[







BAD.]

Shit— Don't fall overboard!

[SADLY Akira can't fall in and the boat can't flip over because timey wimey...... So Akechi will immediately do the nice thing and grab the back of Akira's shirt so the tentacle can't pull him into the water, leg and all. Tug! Of! War!]

[survivaltricks]

[TIMEY WIMEY WIBBLY WOBBLY. . . but thank god Akechi has a bit of a heart, because it is him grabbing Akira's shirt that prevents Akira from going overboard or the boat capsizing]

[Akira hisses in frustration as he yanks against his leg again. and then, quick as lightning. . . he draws a rather familiar looking knife from his belt and lashes out at the creature, severing the tentacle in two with one blow. at last, his leg is free!!! the offended creature swiftly withdraws the injured limb back into the water]

[but when Akira pulls his leg into the boat he totally brings a limp, severed bit of tentacle with him]

Charming. . .

[miscakes]

[He takes notice of the knife, but stores that detail away for later. For now... he keeps an eye on the water after Akira severs the tentacle, paranoid that whatever that was will return to take its revenge on them — but nothing happens. The boat wobbles as it stabilizes on the water. They're fine.

Probably.

Glancing over to Akira:]

Is your leg in one piece?

[survivaltricks]

[holds up his leg as he just. . . carefully nudges away the severed tentacle with his knife (allowing it to drop back into the murky water with a plop). it's dripping, and there are large circular suction-cup markings around his ankle and lower calf, but!]

[one piece]

Seems to be. Whatever that was, it didn't take a bite out of me.

[time to sit down and reattach his leg tyvm]

[miscakes]

[The kraken is a weak binch. :/

He nods, though, just watching him reattach his leg while his left arm keeps twitching around. This has been A Morning.]

Let's head back to the shore. We need to make a stop by the kitchen.

[Emphasis on "we." Carry his arm for him, Akira...]
