[OPEN] Earthquake Event

[soul_mods]

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.

[Roy Mustang] [Wherever and whenever you need him] [OPEN]

[thewarisover]

[Watch Commander's on the move, of course, and wandering through the entire city to check up on things personally.]

[Automail shop/Afternoon] If that's alright with you!

[knightime]

Shit motherfucking christ.

[Dave did exactly what he said he'd do, which was keep the automail shop clean, or as clean as one can get when they knew jackshit of what everything was exactly. He didn't exactly want to explain of stuff got lost because he didn't know what it was.

Except, now everything had to be cleaned up or rearranged. Dave already made sure the apartment was fine (albeit it was a little messy now) and went to check on the shop after he was sure that things had settled and after he helped some people out of they were injured or trapped. Now he was just looking at a mess.]

Absolutely! I assume it's been... 2 days or so? Since Dave signed up for the Watch!

[thewarisover]

[Popping in to see if the earthquake did a number on the store.

...Oho.]

Dave.

Yes, that's fine! :>

[knightime]

[He grumbles a bit. Can he just do Watch related things and pretend this isn't a problem at the moment?]

Were you planning on doing a redesign of the shop? Because you sure as fucking can now.

Or we can leave it like this. It'll be some new, ironic way to present shops.

Shopping District - Near Noon

[motherofthesun]

[She's been plodding through the flooded commercial district, making sure no one's stuck or buildings have suffered too much damage. Right now, she's getting through slowly again, carrying a man on her back. If someone could come here and splint his arm?]

[thewarisover]

Ameterasu.

[Huh, that doesn't look good. Immediately coming forward.]

Let's bring this guy to the hospital.

[motherofthesun]

[Her ears flick and she spots Roy. She nods; it's not good and they'll have to move quickly.]

[She woofs and continues onward, the man still on her back.]

Shopping District, early afternoon?

[toshinebrighter]

[Without the very impressive helm and the fancy breast- and back-plate, the Warrior may be harder to recognize--but he can't help that, they were rendered unusable when he was caught in the thick of the quake. He'll have to find someone to fix them--but later. Right now, there are more important things to do.]

[He's busy scanning the street for signs of life when he notices another person on the street--and looks again, when he realizes...] Watch Commander.

[He is polite and respectful, and almost-but-not-quite sounds like he's expecting instruction of some kind.]

yosh!

[thewarisover]

That's correct. [Stopping to face the speaker properly. Oh, he vaguely remembers seeing you on the network...] Is there a problem?

[toshinebrighter]

I have been searching this area for some time, and it seems most have been freed from the rubble by now. Do you know areas that need more help, for I would go where I would be of most use. [He reports calmly, seemingly unconcerned with how Roy is not his commander; he would be the person most likely to know where to go.]

Shopping District, Around 1 -- Hopefully this is alright?

[flamberge]

[In the Shopping District, Kratos can be seen handing over a 4 year old girl to an older woman, most likely her mother. Following a quick hug, the pair waves good-bye before walking away. Unlike the rest of the Watch who were busy with earthquake victims and such, he'd been busy doing the most random of good deeds for about the past 3 hours.

Right after the earthquake hit, there had been an old man who had lost his glasses, which had fallen off his head during the shaking. Turned out he stepped on them, too, so Kratos had to escort him to get new ones since otherwise the man would've likely walked into a tree. After leaving the old man to purchase a new pair, a woman carrying groceries a short distance away tripped and sprung her wrist, which left to Kratos help her carry the groceries back to her home. Once that was done, a little, lost girl who'd tripped and fallen down caught his eye. No way could he just leave her there. That good deed involved the purchasing of cute band-aids and a lollipop. After searching various businesses in the area that the girl thought her mommy could've worked at, they managed to find her and all was well.

While busy doing all that, Kratos had not only neglected going to his post but failed to check in with the Watch. Actually, he really has no clue what time it is right now.]

of course! ♥

[thewarisover]

[It's a good thing Roy's been going through his very long list of people...]

Kratos, right?

[He's a bit relieved to see you, yes.]

♥

[flamberge]

[Ah this would be his superior officer. He nods.]

Yes, that's correct. Is there something you require of me?

[Kratos really doesn't realize that it's any later than 11.]

[somewhere in the afternoon]

[trageteas]

[He's managed to make it out of a collapsed Deathbucks in one piece, but is now quite ready to be relaxing in his own bed, thank you. That fantasy doesn't stop him from paying attention to the world around him, though, and when he catches a glimpse of Roy he leisurely makes his way to him, waving.]

[thewarisover]

Jules. [Immediately zipping over.] It's good to see you.

[trageteas]

Yes, I'm glad you're in one piece. That was quite the shock, wasn't it?

[somewhere in the streets, during the afternoon?]

[range]

Hey! Roy!

[Grit's running up to him, waving a bit. He's not normally running... also his coat is moving. A lot.]

Everyone 'lright with the people?

[thewarisover]

More or less. Situation's still bad at Financial-Services, though.

[range]

Not really surprised. Anyone missin'?

[Shopping District | Late afternoon]

[toukakoukan]

[Alright, you got your way, Roy. Ed's been down to the clinic, though not in a timely manner like he probably should have. He arrives in the shopping district to help out, now on some pain-killers but without a sling, disliking the whole contraption in general. His automail is wrapped a bit to keep it from losing any more pieces and he's not using it much.

He spots Roy fairly easily and considers bypassing him so he can avoid getting lectured, but there's probably (hopefully) enough to distract from that right now. He makes his way over to him reluctantly.]

Hey. What can I lend a hand with?

[thewarisover]

[Glancing over at you, briefly but critically. Then he's turning back to what he had been doing previously: taking notes, tallying down possible evacuation areas for folks who had lost their homes.]

I'll need people on crowd control.

[toukakoukan]

[He watches him for a moment, unsure if he's glad or not for the lack of lecture. He's still trying to figure Roy out here. But he just gives a nod and turns.]

I'm on it.

[Late Afternoon][Financial-Services District]

[betterintherain]

[By late afternoon, the main threat is over. Her task at the office was completed, and Riza had finally left the place behind to do some actual work. Being left behind had been difficult for her; she preferred to be in the thick of things, protecting people like she was supposed to, and not simply by directing people and traffic from an office.

Still, it was the task she had been given, and she'd carried it out. Now, though, it time to get her hands a little dirty.

At the moment, she's checking the alleyways for any stragglers that may not have been found. So far, everything's checked out, and she's grateful for that.]

[thewarisover]

[Wandering through the area, temporarily on his own - Lady's checking something else - and just about ready for a cigarette break when he spots Riza.]

Lieutenant. Any updates?

[betterintherain]

[She turns at the sound of his voice, a bit caught off guard; she didn't see him approach. She salutes quickly, out of habit, before she glances back down the alleyway. Nothing here either, it seems.]

Things have calmed down significantly, sir. There wasn't much to see from headquarters, so I thought I'd take it upon myself to help now that the rest of the Watch is accounted for.
