[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.

Sounds like a plan! The earthquake look like it did a lot of structural damage.

[He looks around, wondering whether it would be appropriate to lift this guy he barely knew on to his shoulders so that they could do proper surveillance.]

We gotta move out otherwise it'll be too late to do anything without heavy machinery.

[ooc: yep, sounds good to me!]

[a_royal_flush]

Yeah it does! [The thought that the buildings might collapse under the strain was worrying, to say the least, and he wants to do what he can.]

[That sounded like a good plan. What a scrawny little kid like himself could do, he wasn't sure, but Yuuri wouldn't ever let that stop him.]

Mmhm! Let's go! [Yuuri glanced up at the towering man before he paused.] I'm Yuuri, by the way.

[tanks]

Max.

[He nods his head to Yuuri in greeting, acknowledging him to be the person he was going to work with in this particular endeavour. He seemed good natured at the very least.]

Okay, here's what we'll do. We're gonna go do a recon of the area - you're smaller than me so you can probably see things at street level better. If you can see anybody or hear anyone, I can get in there and do the heavy lifting.

Alright, that sounds good! [That was something that Yuuri could definitely do! Although the thought that he couldn't see as well on street level as he could left the young king in awe of Max's size.]

Let's go! [Worried about everyone's safety, Yuuri is instantly off down the street trying to find anyone who might need help.] Ooowaaah I didn't even know that this place could get earthquakes!

[tanks]

I didn't know either...

[He follows Yuuri quickly, but his progress is impeded ever so slightly by the amount of debris and general destruction that the earthquake caused.

His ears pick up the shouts of someone yelling for help from a building that had collapsed, and he stops. Yep, definitely people.]

Hey! Yuuri! I think I can hear people just up ahead!

[a_royal_flush]

[He's scrambling his way up over the cracks and debris. Moving as quickly as he could, Yuuri came to an abrupt stop at Max's call. Peering up at the large man, he then glanced over towards the building area that was pointed out. He could hear the people as well!]

I can hear them too! We need to go help them.
