[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.

[Ling gives Edward an apologetic look.]

You.... hadn't told me much about that. It really doesn't work?

[He shakes his head in a slightly discouraged way, getting closer to the building.]

Nothing. The Colonel said that our meister powers are sometimes similar to what we had in our world. But... I still haven't resonated with anyone.

[He glanced at Ling, wondering vaguely about his success in that area.]
forhispeople: (heh nice one)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-04 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I resonated with a guy! It was really pretty cool, to be honest. You should try it, Ed. Are you a Weapon, too?

[Ling gets to the building first and begins examining the collapsed walls for the safest way in. A crawlspace left where a door once was looks promising. He gets down on his knees and tries to move boards aside so that he can see in.]

[He stands behind Ling, peering around him to try and see inside too.]

Nah, I'm a meister... I just haven't really met anyone to try it with. [Distractedly]
forhispeople: (heh nice one)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-07 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
We should try it sometime. I think we'd work well together.

[Ling finds a crawlspace and shimmies through into he broken house. The last thing Ed can see are the white soles of his slipper shoes disappearing into the wreck.]

[Ed blinks, then gets down to peer into the hole after him.]

See anything? Any dog?

[Resonating with Ling hadn't occurred to him, but he felt at least a connection with him that he didn't feel with most of these people here.]
forhispeople: (=3=)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-08 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a faint voice from inside.]

Not yet, I'm trying to get through. But, Ed? Just in case I don't make it back out-- tell me all about how you feel about me?

[He blinks, then he yells in after him.]

You idiot, nothing is going to happen to you!!

[He imagines Ling in there and immediately wonders how much trouble he'll get in alone.]

Guuh... I'm coming in after you.

[He grumbles a bit, starting to get down to the hole himself. If anything, he can get through easier because he's smaller than Ling.]
forhispeople: (smile gentle)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-09 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Inside the very dark hole.... A CHILLY AND DUSTY HAND GRABS ED'S ARM.]

[It's Ling but-- who can tell, if he doesn't say anything?]

[personal profile] toukakoukan 2012-03-11 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Agh! [Reflexes make him shove the hand away from him but he gets it pretty quickly, huffing.]

Would you knock it off??
forhispeople: (smile laugh with teeth)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-11 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ling cackles merrily]

Never! Ahaha! Look, I found a way to get through, back here. Follow me.

[Ling turns in the crawlspace and moves away.]

I'll keep talking so that you can hear the sound of my voice. Moving this way, okay? You suppose there's spiders in here? I hate spiders.

[Ed glances around a little as best as he can in the crawlspace, climbing through after him.]

If there are, it's too late now, isn't it? They're probably already in your hair and everything. [A little teasing edge to his tone.]
forhispeople: (smirk w/ sword)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-03-14 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Gyahhh! I can feel them already, even though I know they're not there. Gyuck. If I find any, I'm savin' em to put on you, Ed.

[Ling has reached a collapsed door frame leading into a warehouse. He pushes aside some lumber and shimmies through the hole like a snake, coming out the other side. He lets out a joyful squeal.]

Aaaaaaawwwwwww! Hi puppy!

[There's a gigantic black and white Great Dane waiting for them on the other side. The dog is scratching on a door which has fallen off the hinges and can't be moved.]

[The dog stares at Ling, and it's uncertain whether it's about to attack or wag it's tail. Ling, having no experience with dogs, keeps talking]


Awwww, you're so cute! Hehehe! You musta been trapped in here. Here, puppy... come here, puppy!
