[OPEN] Earthquake Event

Characters: OPEN
Location: Death City
Rating: Varied
Time: Jan 22
Description: OOC post here.



It's early in the morning -- just after morning training -- when the ground beneath Death City shakes violently in what most of you might recognize as an earthquake. It's not a particularly huge one for the more experienced of the guests, but it sends cracks shooting through the cobblestoned ground of Death City and up the sides of some buildings. A small handful of structures, mostly those that have been abandoned in the course of this war or the very old ones, take the most damage and topple over or crumble at their foundations.

The earthquake lasts no more than half a minute, but the vibrations and aftershocks last through the day. Death City's streets become full of holes, from those the size of apples to what could be described as deep ditches. The greatest damage, however, is the commercial sector, which becomes flooded as the waterways take damage and spill water into the streets. Shibusen's alarms blare out and quick, urgent orders to fix the waterways and search for the injured or anyone trapped in rubble filter in through all networks.

[Ed had finally managed to make it to his assigned zone, but he wasn't really sure what kind of use he could be. The collapsed structure on the outer limits of the city had seen to inflict some small injuries on him and larger ones on his automail. He'd told Roy he'd had worse and it was true; some pieces of the automail had been broken off and his shoulder had been hit, making his movements with that arm slower and more difficult where the nerve connections had been damaged.

The lack of alchemy was especially frustrating now as he stared around the destruction in the streets. If he could help it, he wouldn't think about things that couldn't be but it was impossible not to dwell on it. All he could do now was see if there was anyone around needing help.]

[Morning Training hadn't ended too long ago, and being an instructor, Neji had barely left the field before the earthquake hit, shaking the earth and tearing a few violent rents in the field itself. But fortunately, nothing was really around to fall on him.

Clairvoyance activated on reflex once the initial quake passed, scouring the area for immediate distress, then flipped through the network where the widespread disaster made itself apparent in other parts of the city. He ran through the short list of people he held immediate concern for, then turned his attention to the members of his zone, calling for a status check to see who was available, who needed medical treatment, and so on. It would be a long day for all of them.

Edward, however, got to him first, and Neji swept a critical gaze over him. His arm didn't look quite right, but there was steel in his expression. Still-]

Are you going to be alright?

[toukakoukan]

[Ed stared a bit at Neji, his mind racing to quickly make the association of where he knew him from. Well... where he was supposed to know him from. His Zone leader. He hadn't been assigned to Neji's zone long but protocol said he should have gone to check in with him right away.

He regretted immediately what kind of condition he was being found in. Not the best first impression. He'd been slowly making his way to the clinic per Roy's orders, but he'd be damned if he was going to pass by people who were worse off just to get his own situation corrected first. He gave a simple nod back to Neji's question.]

Yeah, no problem. You're Neji, right?

[heavenly_earth]

[Neji nodded shortly]

Fortunately, this zone is one of the less populated, although if it had hit much earlier, it might have been worse. Once the structures and citizens here are secured, we'll assist the other zones. As it is, the commercial district is beginning to flood..

[toukakoukan]

[He raises his eyebrows a little, glancing off before back to Neji.]

Alright... I can get to work at that. Where's a safe location we can get the citizens to?
