[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.

[well, it was less "studying" and more "examining" to make sure she was all right.]

Going through the city and making sure everyone is away from such older looking buildings will be of great help, then.

[When he's certain that his friend is alright, Yuuri glanced around at the street around them. It was in complete disarray! And he knew that there would be others out there that would need their help.]

Yeah you're not kidding me. [The muttered words were distracted before he turned his attention back to his friend.] We should go and see if anyone needs any help. Hopefully no one's trapped inside any of the buildings.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

Ah, my name is Allen.

[Quick and dirty introductions; there's simply too much on their hands at the moment for anything more than a nod to go with that. He's getting faster, though -- it was already work he was used to; just needed a closer look at the particulars.]

It seems as though many of the guests have been here for a period of a handful of months.

[It's sort of a not-question. He's still very much on the fence as to what he thinks of the Watch itself.]

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[He very nearly stops walking at that; it takes a couple more steps before he speaks again, voice carefully neutral.]

... I wasn't aware that was possible.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[He's still torn somewhere between bemusement and... more bemusement, because he's not sure what else he expected from the strange grey people with horns, but catlike behavior was certainly not one of the things.

It only stands to reason, though, that like humans they would have some variety.

Still...]

It seems like it would be uncomfortable to stay up there until the water recedes. [He brushes himself off a little, completely uselessly because you don't brush water off.] If you'd like... I can help you someplace dry...?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Spirit said that it may be possible, and so that is what I am working toward.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[Being the designated babysitter would be a little easier if both you and your charge weren't slippery with water and said charge weren't wriggling like an eel.

He has to resist the momentary impulse to sit on the kid, especially when he gets kicked again. No, he shouldn't remove the shoes, either -- even though they really hurt. Going from experience, they'd mysteriously disappear somewhere in all this water.]

I think... his parent should be somewhere nearby. He seems very determined to cross the road.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[A 'may' isn't a guarantee at all, is it? He would really like to ask this guy his motivation for staying. Instead:]

Do you mean that you may be able to ask BREW to allow you to stay?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, we may be able to do that.

I see no reason why it should not work.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's... a good idea." And it was; he'd taken to carrying a few small necessities around with him, but the idea of making something as organized as a pack hadn't really occurred to him.

Perhaps it could even be said he was spoiled, in his own way. He was used to having resources down the hall, or at least somewhere within easy walking distance. "And," slightly embarrassed, "it's only natural to lend a hand at a time like this. Are the supplies from the clinic?"
briochetime: (Default)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He can think of a thousand reasons why it wouldn't. Still, it's not his place to voice all of them when he knows so little about this person.

He can't help pursuing it, though.]

Would it really be all right? We do not belong to this world in the first place, after all.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh...?

[As out of it as he really is, it takes him a moment to follow the conversation the man's holding halfway with himself. Once he's up to speed, though, Allen just shakes his head as emphatically as he can against the wall.]

There's no need for that. I only... need some rest for now.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I --

[ Clovis has nothing waiting for him back in his world but a coffin. His hand settles over his throat, as he winces, before straightening his posture and walking a little more with purpose. ]

-- just can't leave Spirit alone. He's absolutely hopeless.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Allen watches carefully, if obliquely; it seems like a delicate topic, but it seems like he isn't the only one practiced at dancing around it.

It takes him a moment of confusion to place the name, though. People of this world and their oddball names...]

Spirit... the Death Scythe? [One of the friendly ones he remembers from the first day.] He is a friend of yours?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
One of my dear best friends, yes.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[Somehow, it seems absolutely strange to him, making friends with the ones originally of Shibusen. He has to admit, though, that it's probably just him.

Is a dear friend a good reason to stay? One has to wonder.]

Was your world very like this one?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not at all.

[ A light shake of the head. There is a lot of things that are different, but he just says. ]

It is far more technological advanced.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Even more...?

[There is such a thing? He can't even imagine it. Perhaps he should be grateful that Death City... is Death City and not somewhere else even stranger.]

It must have been inconvenient to come here.

[Though, moving backwards should be easier than moving forwards, shouldn't it?]

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Just a little bit more, yes.

[ Clovis feels funny about talking about his world, since he has not in such a long time. It is oddly become like a memory rather than something real. This is possibly, because he is accepting that he is going to stay here. ]

Not really. I made some rather nice friends and that's what really matters.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-08 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[Being new, Allen is of course still rather attached to what he left behind. Never mind the fact that he's already let go of everything once; there's a difference between expecting never to go back, and accepting that he may not see anything he knew ever again.

The latter isn't something he'll allow.

The way Clovis phrases his own rationale seems somehow... too flippant, all things considered. Of course, it's none of his business.]

I hope that you're able to stay, then.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-08 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It certainly is what I am hoping for.
timelessummoner: (o rly)

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-08 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's a little concerned by the fact that the other two seem to be injured, but as long as they're not seriously hurt...]

You are most likely correct. We should look around and see if--

[He's cut off when a middle-aged lady comes running at them on the verge of hysterics. She rounds on Allen, trying to wrench the child from him none too gently.]

...Ma'am, that is quite unnecessary.
toshinebrighter: (meh)

np! /backtags into infinity and beyond

[personal profile] toshinebrighter 2012-02-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
No. [His response is automatic, given before he turns to look at the speaker.] That would be more painful. [He speaks as though from experience, and doesn't. particularly seem to care about his injury.]

[His eyebrows rise briefly when he does turn to see the speaker--not so much out of surprise at his appearance, as he had seen a few strange, horned people around once or twice, rather that someone so small had so...a kind person would say 'commanding', an unkind person would say 'bossy'...a voice.]
timelessummoner: (let's get down to business)

[personal profile] timelessummoner 2012-02-08 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Raidou says a few soothing words to calm the girl down. She seems to feel better...]

Very well.

Be careful, Alucard-san.

[personal profile] aiursfavoredson 2012-02-08 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tassadar inclined his head at this human's first question.]

My people are born into one of three castes: those of the judicator, those who are the workers, and those who are templar.

There is a war raging throughout the galaxy my people originate from, and thus we fight against a foe of unspeakable power and limitless numbers.
