[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.

Yes? *And there's water starting to gather in the streets from Sin knew where. Good thing his boots were sturdy. Fine. Find people, get kits and stop the water. In no particular order.*

You're very sensitve to messes, aren't you? I think it's rather pretty.

*Alucard stood there in mute appreciation for a moment or two before shaking himself out of his stupor.* One notes you have an extremely useful talent.

*The dhampir picked his way through the rubble to help a startled woman to her feet and lead her out of the building.* I believe she is unhurt. Multumesc, Temeraire.

*Alucard grabbed onto the heaviest of the shelves and dug his boots into the ground for stability. He heaved the shelf across the lobby with a roar.*

Wouldn't it reflect worse on you if you become too stressed? And then perhaps you wouldn't be able to continue at all...

[he's already rolling back his sleeves]

Does it matter to you how many people I'm worried about?

That is a rather interesting way to attack enemies...

I suppose I can't see it action in a place like this.

[The look on her face suggests she doesn't believe him] I know I might be a lot younger then you, but if you need someone to confide in, I'll be more than happy to help you in anyway I can.

[There's a brief moment of hesitation and she loosely crosses her arms over her chest] It's... worse if the person is dead by your time. And even harder when they go home. At least if it's just a difference in relationship levels you can get it back to that level, and be content in knowing that when you go home that everything will be back to normal.

I can't really not worry; I've made it my job. [but she looks faintly amused]
cursemarked: (❁ Sacrifice my voice)

[personal profile] cursemarked 2012-02-07 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I...

[SIGH] Alright, you win. [You bully!! She goes to take a seat in one of the chairs set up around the gallery for people to sit and admire the pictures. Only there's really not much to admire right now]

But I'm only resting for a little while.
cursedwithagift: (People really do that?)

[personal profile] cursedwithagift 2012-02-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
That's one way of putting it. [and then he actually pauses in her work to give her an absolutely withering look] There is nothing pretty about this abomination.

No, not yet. It just...

[Lloyd notices a partially collapsed shop with its door closed.]

Hey, do you think somebody might be in there?
alphaspider: (i don't know)

What if your ability affects people? We wouldn't figure it out, then.

[He shrugs and starts jogging in the direction of the park, where he's certain there's plenty of flat space and no people.]
tanks: (Crush 'em again!)

[personal profile] tanks 2012-02-07 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Working out, mostly.

[He shrugged. That doesn't really explain anything, but he's concentrating on what Ling's doing to his hand. Max doesn't regret punching that wall one bit..]

Unless there is a Weapon that can become one, I'm afraid not.
sentiments: (Under the Tuscan Sun)

works for me!

[personal profile] sentiments 2012-02-07 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Barnaby shoots him a smile.] Alright.

[He pulls himself to his feet, brushing off his hands on the sides of his jeans.] It was nice meeting you, Warrior. Take care, and be careful!
starfruitfrog: (looove || I think I love you.)

[personal profile] starfruitfrog 2012-02-07 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[That's...the big robot that orange-haired girl was talking about on e network a while back, wasn't it?

He stops and looks up.]


H-Hi! Ah, I was wondering, you didn't happen to see a girl with yellow hair and pink eyes around, did you, de arimasu?
sentiments: (Seventh Heaven)

[personal profile] sentiments 2012-02-07 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[At the pat, Barnaby looks over and ends up giving Kotetsu a small smile.]

Alright.

[BRB standing up now.] I'm sure it'll come in handy when you need it to. But... let's stick together, just to play it safe. [Partners and all. Plus he wants to make sure you don't go off a cliff for real next time.]
tanks: (Crush 'em!)

[personal profile] tanks 2012-02-07 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
You hurt or anything?

[Max hides the hand behind his back. IT'S NOTHING GRIT. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.]

He could have managed politeness much better if he had been able to get a good night's sleep since arriving in Death City. The only thing that kept him functioning now was his refusal to be defeated by his new, stupid human body.

He hadn't noticed Duke moving his hand, or that would have definitely earned Duke a glare.

From the hole that they were clearing comes the sound of a child calling for help as well as something else...

"...More cats?"

Aah. I think the longer you stay in a place, the longer it feels like that time actually is. [All it reminds him of is the months he spent in retirement back in his hometown. Once it reached a few months it almost felt like a year. As much as he knew he needed and wanted the break it still felt odd, to be away from his normal routine for that long. Coming back sure was nice. And then all this happened.]

It sounds kinda helpful since you start realizing it hasn't been that long but then when you think about it it's still... really long. And then it gets even longer but it's not actually that long, but it feels like it, and... where am I getting with this?
radiantwingedone: (Focused)

[personal profile] radiantwingedone 2012-02-07 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
... Is it a bad sign of how much Duke cares for humans that the child crying for help gets barely any hint of interest in speeding up his careful moving of bricks, but the comment, and sound, of trapped cats does?

It's not a really marked increase, but he is moving the bricks a little faster.

[[Bakura covered a very small laugh at that]] Time passes different depending on how things are, right? The more that's going on and the more people around, the faster it seems, yet at the same time, you get so used to it that you can't remember how things were before then, so even though it's going by fast, it still feels like forever. But in a good way, instead of the forever that goes by slow because there's no one around to fill it.

It matters to me how people treat each other, yes. Particularly people that I interact with on a regular basis.
forhispeople: (PANIC?! EW.)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-07 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
That must be some workout... cause I've never seen anybody that could get quite that big just from working out.

You didn't like, eat anything special? Or maybe drink raw eggs?

"I can't see anything down here," he said. It was pitch black once you got more than a foot away from the entrance. "I don't suppose you have a flashlight you could pass down to me?"
