soul_logs | [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.

[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.

[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.

If there is such a thing, yeah?

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

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.]

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

[Siiigh.]

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Not at all.

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

Assuming I keep trying after today, but yeah.

[Chuckles.]

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

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.

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

No way man. You encouraged it. You totally did. Totes.

'Totes', huh. You kids and your slang.

Haha, you sound like an old geezer when you say it like that.

I AM old. I feel like it, anyway.

You've aged gracefully then. Seriously, I bet if you put your charm up, you'd have all sorts of girls looking your way.

That'd be a bit problematic for me, I'm afraid.

You got a gal pal waiting for you at home than? Ooohhh~ [Why yes, he is thirteen. Reacting like the mature child he is.]

I've got a whole country full of gal pals waiting for me.

[And some men. Lol.]

Haha oh man. So covered in bitches. Be careful casanova. Some of them can get real clingy.

Oh, trust me: I'm well-aware of that.
