[OPEN] Earthquake Event

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.

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.

Cool. And I'm guessing his post to Mustang's post came before this. XD

[thewarisover]

I don't think that's possible.

[Wryly, walking in.]

Let's clear some space, at least. If there are a lot of injured folks, the clinic's going to need the room.

[Doctor Watson occasionally frees up the area for patients when they get a fuck load of them.]

I DO EVERYTHING IN ORDER OBVIOUSLY.

[knightime]

Well, fuck.

[He lets out a few more cusses, but starts to clear things up without cluttering up other areas. Cleaning the entire place would take too long, but it's better to not make a bigger mess because you were trying to clear space.]

Do earthquakes happen often here? Or did this place decided to throw us under a fucking bus?

ORDER IS OVERRATED ANYWAY.

[thewarisover]

[Already helping on his end. XD]

This is the first one I've experienced since my arrival, actually.

/PUNCHES ORDER. IN THE FACE.

[knightime]

Hmm. You think there's a reason it happened then? Or just Mother Nature decided to PMS big time on us.

awww yis

[thewarisover]

I'm hoping it's the latter. If we had to deal with an attack now...

[knightime]

I don't think we'll get attacked.

But it's still pretty weird. It could have been worst though. I heard intense quakes are not a walk in the park. I haven't really been in one before in general though. Looks like my earthquake virginity has finally been taken.

[He looks around for a box so they can put all these parts lying around into it.]

[thewarisover]

[Dragging one over now, as they speak.]

Earthquake virginity, huh? That's a funny way of putting it.

[knightime]

Hey, it's the truth. Better be straight up about it then sugarcoat things.

[He starts dumping things into the box. They can sort through it later. For now, they needed space.]

[thewarisover]

[And getting another box, to take care of the junk on the OTHER side.]

I might have to ask you to be just a bit less... graphic, though. If you end up dealing with civilians.

[knightime]

[There sure is a lot of junk in here. Dear lord, who let these guys get put in charge of cleaning duty.]

Right. I guess I might need to invest in a mouth filter.

[thewarisover]

If there is such a thing, yeah?

[Sob, so dusty all of a sudden. Goddamned earthquakes.]

[knightime]

Probably not. But hey, the thought is what counts, right?

Something tells me we need to actually clean this place properly one day. [He rubs his nose, holding back the need to sneeze.]

[thewarisover]

It'll take an army to do that properly, I'm afraid.

[Siiigh.]

[knightime]

An army or actually free a day up to tackle it.

I mean, I can tidy it up little by little when I have free time at least.

[thewarisover]

And I'll try to join you whenever I can.

[knightime]

Hey, I know you got a lot on your plate. Hell, I'd probably be choking over the work you do, but here you are, more graceful the the fabbest swan on the lake.

[thewarisover]

'Graceful'? 'Swan'? [Chuckles.] I'm not sure how to take that.

[knightime]

Take it gracefully? I mean, if we want to be obvious. If you like, I could think of a different animal to swan though. Guess princess isn't your shtick either.

[thewarisover]

Not at all.

[knightime]

I'll think of something you'll approve of.

Assuming I keep trying after today, but yeah.

[thewarisover]

[Chuckles.]

I certainly hope you'll keep trying, for the sake of your boss.

[knightime]

I don't know. I really like the mental image of you as a swan. Except for some reason it leads to figure skating.

Actually nevermind, I think swan is a shitty idea and it's terrible and why did you let me even think about it being good.

[thewarisover]

Hey, I think you did it all on your own.
