[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.

That's what Auron liked to see. Someone just diving in to help. "Good. My name's Auron and me and partner, Koujurou are the zone leaders for this district."

The Spiran took his sheathed katana from his back and helped pry the concrete to one side. "You're not hurt at all, are you?"

He heaved with his extraordinary muscles, and the two of them managed to lever the block out of the way, granting access to the collapsed floor below it. The entrance was small, but who knew how far the crevice might go.

"I'm just fine," he said, shaking his head as he lowered his head into the hole. "Is anybody down there?" he called out. "If you can hear me, try to make some noise!"

Auron paused to listen. "I don't hear anything. But that doesn't mean someone isn't there." They didn't have anything resembling a rope. Or did they?

"Do you think you can climb down there? If you can, I might be able to give you some kind of line."
anationisnothing: (uh what)

[personal profile] anationisnothing 2012-02-05 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"I should be able to fit," he said, sizing it up with his hands. "It'll be a mighty tight fit, though. Hopefully it won't shift while I'm down there."
nofarplaneyet: (Oh please)

"All right." Auron couldn't tell how deep the hole went so this would be tricky.

He pulled off the two belts that held up the sash around his coat and tied them together. "It's not much but I'm not sure what else to use."

Steve nodded. "It should do," he said. He took one end of it, and quickly tied it to his belt. Then he made his way over to the hole and slid down into it. He had to crawl on his stomach to fit, but he'd managed worse.

Auron gripped the other end of the slender "rope" as the man poked his way into the depths of the building. "You see anybody?" he asked.
anationisnothing: (facepalm)

[personal profile] anationisnothing 2012-02-07 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
"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?"
nofarplaneyet: (intimidate)

Lucky for them both, Auron always kept a first aid kit filled with random items. He liked the idea of a flashlight machina and had packed it. He handed it over. "Here."
anationisnothing: (liefeld)

Steve took the flashlight, and turned it on, shining it around the crawlspace. Nobody that he could see, but...

"I'm going to have a look deeper in," he called out. "If you hear me calling, start pulling me out."

He crawled forward on his belly, slowly slithering forward, hardly any clearance above or below him, the flashlight gripped between his teeth. He wasn't a claustrophobic person by nature, but these close confines were enough to make even him a bit nervous. He tried hard not to think about just how much concrete was practically resting on top of him.

But as he advanced forward, he caught sight of something ahead of him. A small shoe. Getting closer, he found that it was connected to a leg, and from there to a girl of about eight years of age. Knocked unconscious, likely by a blow to the head.

Thank god she's not stuck, or I don't know how we'd get her out, Steve thought as he took hold of her, pulling to confirm that she was loose. "Can you hear me?" he called back. "Pull us out!"

Us? Fayth, the guy must have found someone. Auron braced himself and hauled back on the makeshift rope, one inch at a time.
anationisnothing: (seriously?)

[personal profile] anationisnothing 2012-02-10 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Steve held tightly to the girl as Auron pulled him back in. Crawling backwards would have been difficult even with his hands free; There would be no way he could have done it while pulling someone else behind him.

With Auron's help, though, it's not too long before light comes pouring in from above him, and he's lifting the girl out of the hole, passing her to Auron.

Auron picks up the kid and helps Steve the rest of the way out of the passage. "Nice job finding her." He settled his belts on his shoulder. "Let's get this kid to the clinic."
anationisnothing: (seriously?)

[personal profile] anationisnothing 2012-02-11 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Steve doesn't even bother brushing the dirt off of his face. "You take her," he said. "I'll keep searching around here. No need for us both to run off."
nofarplaneyet: (determined)

[personal profile] nofarplaneyet 2012-02-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"All right. Good luck." Auron trots off in the direction of the clinic. At least this little girl would be saved.
