[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.

[He gave him a nod. The logistics of it is what was going to pose a problem, for while he could carry the elderly lady, she might not be quite as amenable to it. Then again, pain and the promise of being healed might do something to help them both...

He went to them both, smelling a little with his forked tongue as he did so. The smell of blood was indeed hanging in the air, and more coming out with every single moment that passed by.]


I could, and will do so. Only that I shall have to be careful, if I am to carry her in my forelimbs, while the young boy could ride whilst on my back as we go to the Hospital.

[He turned to Ling]

Pray help me, if only to have her be still as I lift her?

[He turned to look here he meant, and immediately knew what to do.

Only, that he wondered if it would be alright for him to use his ability, and how strong he would have to make it to break this.]

I think I could help, only that I would ask you to stand behind me, if you would be so kind.

It is only so you won't be harmed by any debris that may fly about if I am to do what I know I must do.

[After having scoured his own district with his shift partner, Kenshin's moved on to check other ground areas; he knows the dangers of aftershocks especially with many building structures now unstable, and while he knows there are others on patrol, he has his own rescuing complex that won't let him stay put. So Kenshin's wandered on, checking where he can for anyone in trouble.

He catches a flickering of movement on the corner of his vision, tilts his head up to see Genesis—a somewhat familiar face from a brief meeting previously—in the sky?]
shiromadoushi: (Anime: I'm fine no really...)

Aaa, thank goodness. [[Carefully dusts himself off, checking himself over. Some new scrapes, what felt like it would be another bruise in a few hours... but no major damage! Not even to his jeans!]]
forhispeople: (heh nice one)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-02 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, thank you! [He presses his palms together to gesture his gratitude.]

I apologize for the lost time. Are you hurrying to do something?
forhispeople: (ok now you're just pissing me off)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-02 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, Max it is. [Ling draws closer and takes his first aid supply bag off of his shoulder, setting it on the ground]

I'm Ling. And I think you're going to need ice for that.
nolicenseyet: (oh?)

[personal profile] nolicenseyet 2012-02-02 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods then she starts moving at a jog. He has longer legs, it shouldn't be hard for him to keep up, right?]

I was looking for my partner. [A pause.] Have you seen a green frog running around?
daimondai: (Pissy)

[Commercial or Residential- Open]

[After getting rescued from that hole by Toph, Masaru wasn't going to just sit and wait the rest of the mess out. Instead he set out to join the rest of the Watch in hauling people out of danger and clear out debris.

He didn't even consider the fact that with only one working arm he wasn't really much help. Eventually he ended up cursing, kicking at a bit of a older partially collapsed building and yelling rather loudly in his frustration]
forhispeople: (serious business- eyes opwn)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-02 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Temeraire...

[Ling's voice was dry and starting to show signs of the physical strain of the work he'd been doing, but he was clearly relieved at the dragon's offer of help. He turned to explain the situation to the woman and the little boy, trying his best to keep his voice soothing as he did so.]

This dragon is a friend, his name is Temeraire. You needn't be afraid, he's going to help take your grandmother to the hospital, so a doctor can take care of her injuries. Okay?

I'm going to tie this here, so that you won't slide about while we move you, Grandmother. That'll hurt.

[He hurried to tie strips of cloth around the elderly lady's person, to make sure she wouldn't shift on the stretcher during movement. When he was done, he backed up to see where Temeraire needed his help.]

[It isn't hard at all! Ling runs alongside her with no problems.]

A green... frog? Is he about this tall? [Ling gestures Keroro's height.]

With a star crest on his front.
nolicenseyet: (I bet it's because they hate you)

[personal profile] nolicenseyet 2012-02-02 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[For her part, Eve was too busy watching the ground (her partner is short, okay?) to notice she's about to run into Terezi.

Impact imminent? Y/N]
nolicenseyet: (worried)

[personal profile] nolicenseyet 2012-02-02 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You've seen him?
forhispeople: (=3=)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-02 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, not today. But I know him! Keroro, right?

I didn't know he was a frog... I took him for a water sprite.
flutes: (e)

[personal profile] flutes 2012-02-02 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'm guessing there have been those who have questioned you before?

[Still feels awkward talking to a goddess here]
flutes: (i)

[personal profile] flutes 2012-02-02 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
But of course. However, if you wish to think like that, then I don't mind.

[She's just curious what else he sees]

[personal profile] a_royal_flush 2012-02-02 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah it does! [The thought that the buildings might collapse under the strain was worrying, to say the least, and he wants to do what he can.]

[That sounded like a good plan. What a scrawny little kid like himself could do, he wasn't sure, but Yuuri wouldn't ever let that stop him.]

Mmhm! Let's go! [Yuuri glanced up at the towering man before he paused.] I'm Yuuri, by the way.
quibbling: (if not always in the way we expect)

[Luna is unmistakably calm even after the earth's shaking; she's fallen over a few times, but nothing serious, and it doesn't feel like there's any more immediate danger. She, too, is now walking the streets, half keeping an eye out for others but just as focused on looking for... something else?

Too focused, apparently, because she stops just short of bumping into Gai.]

Cinderella, Zidane and WoL | Somewhere in inconvenient alley | Closed like woah

[Before earthquake had began she had been walking around streets and checking the valleys, trying to find a new shortcut from her work back to Casualty Communal. She was just about to get away from another dead-end alley when the ground had started to shake under her feet.

It was first time for Cinderella to ever experience an earthquake. Of course she had heard of them but no one had told her what do when you get caught in one. The first thing she could think of doing was kneeling down and trying to cover her head with her arms from the rocks falling down at her.]
forhispeople: (a little worried about you)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-02 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Along comes Ling hauling an injured elderly man up some stairs nearby and out of a building, an arm around the gentleman's waist and one of the man's arms around his neck.]

[He spies Itachi over there and nods his head]


Excuse me? Sir? Would you lend me a hand here?

[personal profile] pure_lineage 2012-02-02 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
He thought twice over his observation, but then decided that his honesty was perhaps the best option. The last thing that he wanted was for his injuries to be prolonged any longer than necessary, since sitting too long would make him far too antsy.

"Does that including walking back to the apartment?" Sephiroth asked while glancing over at the blonde with the barest hint of a smirk. While he'd never allow Cloud to carry him, he was interested to see just what the blonde would say. No doubt the reaction would be amusing.
tanks: (Wait no give me back my gun.)

[personal profile] tanks 2012-02-02 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, you a medic or somethin'? Is it that bad?

[Max looks at Ling, trying to hide the anxiety on his face.]

That's pretty lucky. Who would have thought there were one of you guys near by...
rebelling: (Default)

[personal profile] rebelling 2012-02-02 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Miss!

[A little way away, Firion's straining to remove a rather large piece of building from an unconscious man's leg.]

Can you find- [With a grunt of exertion, he lifts the offending lump of brick and puts it down elsewhere.] -can you find something to use as a splint? His leg looks broken.
atailoftwoworlds: (Is that her voice?)

After one of the aftershocks, I guess?

[personal profile] atailoftwoworlds 2012-02-02 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[And while Edgeworth is trying to deal with the aftershock, he may hear a youth's voice calling out to him in concern]

Yo! You all right?!

[If Edgeworth is in enough of a state to look up, he will see said youth running right over to him. Zidane was never the type who could leave someone in distress - even if it was someone he did not know. There was no particular reason why beyond the fact that it went against his instincts. Besides, this man was in need of help and he could very well die out here if there is another aftershock.]

[Sorry Mitsunari, that only makes him laugh harder. Though he does eventually stop and puts a hand under his chin.]

My, I didn't realize people could do that here. Was it very difficult achieve? [He asks this as if it wasn't obvious that this was an accident...and as if he wasn't fully aware that it would be impossible to answer.]

"No, but I imagine resonance to any degree would provide an aid. Perhaps less of one without trained synchronization, but helpful regardless. It's rare that I use this ability for such an extensive period as it is."

They reached the condos, and the one time Neji would actually consider taking the elevator instead, is the one time they aren't operating correctly. He shook his head on a brief sigh, leaning more heavily on Gai. "I'm sure it's a mess."
