The Roof of Kanan's Warehouse, Friday

[uncertain_dume]

Well... the warehouse was flooded right up to just under the rafters. Which was... not exactly the greatest. It meant that the mats, the emergency kits, and all the practice weapons were well submerged, and there wasn't much to be done to save an armload of bamboo swords from a week in the drink, never mind the metal ones Kanan had commissioned from Amaya. It did mean, at least, that Kanan's penchant for hiding the good weapons in the rafters had actually paid off- they were reasonably dry, though they'd probably need at least a little maintenance once the floods receded.

That said, that was a problem for another time, since getting them out of there would either involve taking them down through the water itself, or carving a hole in the roof, and...

Well. Kanan was not carving a hole in the roof.

Kanan was, however, seated atop it.

Meditating.

Look, it was his Friday thing. You couldn't take this from him, Fandom.

Meanwhile, over in a literal desert, Rey was doing her own Friday thing and making a call.

[uncertain_dume]

And there was Kanan, answering his miraculously not waterlogged phone!

"Afternoon, Rey," he greeted, pulling himself back out of his meditation. "How are things?"

[thatwaslucky]

"All right. Going to be a long day," she answered. "How are things there?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Wet," Kanan volunteered, watching as a gondola made its way by the warehouse. "... Really, really wet."

Tiny bit.

"Long day, huh?"

[thatwaslucky]

"I'm not sure how long I have before other people find what I did, so I have to get what I can today and hope for the best," she explained. "Some parts I can actually use, too."

[uncertain_dume]

"Oh, hey," Kanan replied, grinning a little, "so a long day, a busy day, but hopefully a productive one. Good to hear."

A triangular fin split the water. He squinted at it.

[thatwaslucky]

"I'll take it," she said. "Why's it wet there? Rain?"

[uncertain_dume]

"No," Kanan noted, looking out at the triangular fin and then blinking as something much larger reached up with tentacled arms and dragged it under. "Not rain, exactly..."

Hooboy.

[thatwaslucky]

"You day that in a way that worries me," she said.

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan was now squinting at a pod of dolphins as it leapt and splashed and danced its way by.

"... I keep waiting to see a submarine periscope or something," he offered.

[thatwaslucky]

Rey pause.

"Okay, what's happening?"

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan finally managed to peel his attention away from the waterways.

"Most of the island is flooded," he explained. "And not even a little flooded. A lot flooded. Thoroughly underwater."

A beat.

"Dinosaurs are gone, though."

[thatwaslucky]

"...did they drown?" Rey had to ask.

[uncertain_dume]

"I... think they just went away," Kanan offered, a little unsure of that one himself. "Or turned into sharks and fish and things. Stance is back to normal, at least?"

That was the important part.

[thatwaslucky]

"I bet you're happy about that part." She was. Even if she didn't get to see Stance in person anymore, the dog form was right for him.

[uncertain_dume]

"He was kind of hilarious as a dinosaur," Kanan noted, "but he's definitely happier this way, himself. So I guess I am, too."

You guess? Kanan. You monster.

[thatwaslucky]

"But he's so cuddly as a dog," Rey pointed out.

[uncertain_dume]

"He was a weirdly cuddly lizard, too," Kanan offered. "... But it wasn't quite the same."

Scales were not so snuggly.

[thatwaslucky]

"And it might be easier for him to swim like normal," she said. "I'd everthhbg okay there?"

It just sounded like a lot of potential damage.

[uncertain_dume]

"Well... at the moment, I'm sitting on the roof of my warehouse," Kanan offered. "Most of it's underwater. Who knows if this'll clear up the way the jungle did afterward, though. I might luck out and not have to replace everything, after all?"

He dared to dream, anyway?

[thatwaslucky]

"You weren't kidding when you said it was underwater," she realized. "Why are you on the roof of your warehouse?"

This was a good excuse to be safe at home.

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan just kind of sighed.

"Because it's Friday," he replied.

As if that was a reasonable excuse for this situation he was now in.

[thatwaslucky]

"I suppose I should be glad you're not in the park," Rey said.

[uncertain_dume]

"The park is completely underwater right now," Kanan agreed. "It's hard to meditate and swim at the same time."

[thatwaslucky]

"The warehouse roof does sound much better for that," she said. "While surrounded by water..."

[uncertain_dume]

"There are boats," Kanan offered. And then paused. "And sharks. I think."

This island seemed to have some kind of shark fixation.

[thatwaslucky]

"There are sharks again?"

Seriously, Fandom.

[uncertain_dume]

"At least these ones seem to be sticking to the water," Kanan offered. "Stance hasn't wanted to leave the apartment all week since he noticed one, though."

Stance had been around for the last shark storm, after all.

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't think I can blame him. Sharks swim much faster," she agreed.

[uncertain_dume]

"We wound up with one in our living room, the last time," Kanan noted. "Stance isn't terribly fond of sharks on dry ground, either."

[thatwaslucky]

"Probably because they shouldn't be there." Rey would not be fans of them there, either.

[uncertain_dume]

"They really shouldn't," Kanan agreed. "I don't think the island got that memo."

[thatwaslucky]

"The island makes its own memos."

Truth, though.

[uncertain_dume]

"Yup," Kanan agreed. "And that's why I just saw a gremlin pass by on some kind of... water-speeder."

It was a Jet-ski, Kanan.

[thatwaslucky]

"Of course you did," Rey said, like she was realizing she was just going to have to roll with this sort of thing from afar.

[uncertain_dume]

"I thought the dinosaurs were weird. I think for the next little while these calls might turn into you witnessing my slow descent into madness," Kanan mused.

[thatwaslucky]

"As long as you take pictures so I know what's real and when you've lost it," she said. Encouragingly.

[uncertain_dume]

"The gremlin is coming by for another pass on the water-speeder," Kanan offered. "I'll definitely send photographic evidence of that."

Because it was weird as heck.
