[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.

This in-game day will last a week irl.

[ Blankly, he says: ] I met a wolf that could use a communicator that helped the little scratch I had on my head. I'm all right.
briochetime: (Thank you for the change of clothes.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-01-31 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He brightens visibly; doesn't quite smile, but he stops rummaging in his coat and straightens, holding out a hand to help Clovis up now that he's more certain of his being in one piece.]

I see you've met Amaterasu. She really is running first aid everywhere.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-01-31 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He does have a little pride left, and gets up on his own -- brushing the dirt off his fine clothes. ]

So, she is a Guest...
briochetime: (Dropped my last hairbrush in the gutter.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-01-31 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's not especially bothered by it; understands it, since he's already pegged this as a proud man, and discreetly retracts his hand with a nod.]

Yes, I believe she is one of the Meisters here. I assume you are a 'guest' as well?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-01-31 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse me? A Meister?
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-01-31 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, yes?

[A confused look. If you know about 'guests', surely you know they're all Meisters or Weapons?]

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-01-31 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm, so what she said was true.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-01 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Was there some reason to think she might not be?

[He manages to keep the defensiveness from it, remembering his own first experience with the wolf. She really is one of the stranger things he's come across -- but perhaps this man, too, will see in time that that's not necessarily a bad thing.]

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-01 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Normally, there are no animals that have the ability to talk... save whatever Blaire is, that one Guest dog, and Witches. One cannot always think it'll be the second option -- that it is a Guest, but something else that managed to slip through.
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-01 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
... Ah.

[He's implying that such talking animals can be the work of witches, which... isn't far-fetched, and is probably the safe attitude to take in a place like this.

Maybe it's because he's still not used to living in such an atmosphere, but he can't find it in himself to countenance that.]

Nevertheless, she is indeed a guest of Shibusen who has been present for some time.

[And that's that. He looks around -- they're still in the middle of nowhere, and...]

If you are heading for the commercial district, sir, please be careful. The streets are filled with cracks hidden by the water. I would suggest using the temporary bridges many have created.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-01 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmn, well, thank you anyway.

[ Ping? ]

I am trying to head to Shibusen. Do you know the safety way there?
briochetime: (Default)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
To Shibusen... [He thinks for a moment; would the stairs even be safe? They're pretty wide... Well, this man should have sense enough to avoid falling into cracks, right?]

I believe you can still take the northern route easily enough, but it would be best to stay clear of the moat until you come to the steps. There is no telling where else flooding may have occurred, or may occur.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
And where exactly are you going to go?
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
I was on my way to check on the residences damaged in the recent fire -- it's likely they would need some helping hands in case...

[He cuts himself off after a moment, tilting his head thoughtfully.]

Have you come from the residences yourself? Perhaps you could tell me their condition.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
I can't remember...

[ His memory was not that good after the earthquake hit. He had just started running, and everything was crying. Even if he was trying to remain calm and in control, there was a part of him that could not accept being in a situation so helpless, like when they were kidnapped.

He shakes his head once.
]

Sorry.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [It must be admitted that Allen couldn't have told you where he was in the commercial district when the earthquake hit, since he kind of stumbled off every which way afterwards -- so it's not like he can't understand the sentiment.]

There's no need to apologize. I intend to see for myself in any case.

[A small bow.]

I wish you safety on your way, sir.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
Are you absolutely sure that you will not come with me?
briochetime: (I think that counts as a FML.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Now he has absolutely no idea what you're on about.]

Do you need a guide, sir...? I do not mind, but...

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Clovis just does not want to travel alone. ]

Yes, a guide would be preferable.
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[... Not quite as planned. But he figures the residential area won't spontaneously collapse without him there to watch it; he can still see some of the apartments from here, after all.

So he settles for a brief nod.]

Very well. Then, let us go.

[ALLEN has joined your party! His skills are: Servant Perception and Poker Face.]

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ He does not let his relief show but starts off in the direction that Allen has said to go to head toward Shibusen. There is an odd sort of confidence in the way that he walks and now presenting himself. It is because there is someone else there and he can make a bit of a show about it. Something to focus his thoughts on than his fears. ]

This way, then.
briochetime: (Default)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 06:04 am (UTC)(link)
[He does notice the sudden boost in confidence, but attributes it to less uncertainty in the face of making the trip. He hurries to keep stride with the taller man.

After a few moments of quietly walking:]

Since we are traveling together... may I ask your name?

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
My apologies.

I am Clovis la Britannia. How do you do?
briochetime: (I will turn this car around.)

[personal profile] briochetime 2012-02-02 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
['La Britannia'... Sounds like a title of nobility.]

It's a pleasure, Sir Clovis. My name is Allen.

[personal profile] waitedforyou 2012-02-02 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's all right... you don't have to give my any title.

Nice to meet you, Allen.
