[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.

[And with the easiest, calmest smile.] I've stopped an apocalypse before.

[She stops, listening to him. At his last words, Saya stares at him for a moment, and then smiles just a little.]

Aha. I guess it’d have been nice to have someone like you in my world.

[personal profile] socialbutterfly 2012-02-01 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd have asked you out a lot... I'm not sure if you'd have enjoyed that.

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-02-01 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Tsu-! What the hell?! Don't say those things!

[she huffs and moves, so they'd keep walking]
flutes: (e)

Sure!

[personal profile] flutes 2012-02-01 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh jeez, whyyyy]

I'm surprised you can tell who I am right away.
flutes: (i)

[personal profile] flutes 2012-02-01 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh, wasn't expecting that either! Her eyes widen as Ammy spoke]

Yes, I can. I see that you're a meister.

I couldn't. [grin, crouch] But I knew there was a possibility that this flute in the middle of the road could be a Weapon. After all, the ground just shook, I don't see any injured person around, and any musician worth his salt would never leave his instrument behind. No harm in trying if it turned out an ordinary object. On the other hand, if you did reply -- and you have -- then it's someone for me to bother.

So, hi.
timelessummoner: (are you sure about that?)

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-01 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...There. [He should be alright now... just don't let him fall.]

[personal profile] socialbutterfly 2012-02-01 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[When she huffs past him, he falls into step beside her. He's trying not to laugh.]

What about here? Should I ask you out here, Takagi-san? To go out somewhere in a strange new world...

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-02-01 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Unless you mean going out for a walk, I'm really not interested. [my god why is this happening to her]
timelessummoner: (o rly)

uhhh... buenos dias?

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-01 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
People may have been caught under falling buildings. [He frowns in worry.]

Will you be able to get to safety on your own?
socialbutterfly: (pic#2009598)

[personal profile] socialbutterfly 2012-02-01 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A walk would be fun... I'm really enjoying your company on this one. [He avoids some litter on the ground and very lightly brushes up against her.]

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-02-01 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Walking through the rumble after an earthquake and after you put my dislocated shoulder back in place. It's interesting, I'll give you that.
timelessummoner: (fight it out)

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-01 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
We must seek out people who need medical attention. Helping with the clean up can wait until later.

[Yuuri's call abruptly cut off as he caught sight of Bakura. Eye's wide in alarm, the young Maou made a mad dash over to help his friend.]

Bakura!

[Skidding to a halt next to him, he reached down to see if he was hurt.]

Are you alright? You're not hurt anywhere?
timelessummoner: (spotted something)

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-01 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Jules-san! [Raidou runs over to him, sidestepping a crack in the street.] Are you alright?

[personal profile] aiursfavoredson 2012-02-01 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He landed a distance away from where the debris crashed to the ground. Hearing Gai's voice, the templar glanced over in the direction of the Weapon.]

En Taro Adun, Maito Gai. [Despite the urgency of the situation, he'd still greet his comrades.] Indeed it has. I have just come from that sector.

[Pushing himself up to stand, he regarded Gai thoughtfully.] I have been charged with searching for those beneath my command, and could not aid those affected in the flooded areas. Would you do so in my absence?

[personal profile] socialbutterfly 2012-02-01 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It won't be easy to do better... but how about, instead of a walk, I ask you out to help me find a way to stop your worst case scenario from happening? [He lifts his eyebrows and gives her an earnest look. No jokes.]

I'm already looking for the answers, but I need someone like you to help me understand them...

[personal profile] sayatakagi 2012-02-01 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Saya glances at Minato for a moment , thinking about his words]

Am I being invited for some kind of research group?
socialbutterfly: (pic#2009688)

[personal profile] socialbutterfly 2012-02-01 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods, but in the spirit of full disclosure.] But we might go to some dangerous places... maybe... where your other skills will be necessary too.

[Kurapika and Hisoka] [right after the quake] [Closed]

An earthquake in the middle of Nevada was the last thing he'd ever expected to experience here, although he wasn't surprised so much as bewildered. He hadn't been hurt, being out on the streets on his way to the park when the tremors started, and now it had stopped, leaving behind a city gripped by chaos. A nearby wall had collapsed, toppling into the driveway of the house it used to surround, but other than that damage seemed to be minimal in this part of the city. No obvious casualties, either--there were people running about wherever he looked, but they seemed more harried than panicked. Perhaps everyone got lucky and no one was trapped or heavily injured.

But then loud and frantic barking started up near the wall that had crumbled. Kurapika didn't hesitate--he immediately turned to the side, toward the pile of debris, and started looking for the source of the barking.

Before you tell me about all of the dangers I'll have to face and survive through, I have a simple question. [which would probably sound sort of... awkward given everything]

How much do you trust Shibusen?
shiromadoushi: (Anime: Worst... day.... ever)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2012-02-01 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think so... [[If he had enough pride, he'd just say that that was all that was hurt. But really, with his luck?

He's going to very cautiously attempt to push himself up with just his right arm to be sitting zazen so he can survey the damage. There are a few small cuts, a couple red marks that look like he'll have yet another collection of bruises though this time much smaller. But his hands were all right, thankfully! He'd somehow managed to avoid the normal pitfall of bracing himself with his palms on the way down, so there were only a few scrapes on his right and his left had thankfully escaped with no new injuries or damage to his old. That counted as a victory, right?

There was a bit of an ominous sound of an unhealthy creaking from the building behind him, however... follow by a snapping sound. And then another... and another...]]

Ah... [Minato was also here when there was... very open dissent against Shibusen. They used to have to sign pledges of loyalty...]

They're good people in over their heads. I trust them to do the right thing, but not really a good or thorough job of it.
flutes: (b)

[personal profile] flutes 2012-02-01 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I see. Then would it not be a bother if you helped me turn back into my human form?

[That wasn't going to happen was it?]
