[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.

[Toph had sent Tem on a circuit while she entered the apartment complex to check for injured people. She doesn't see any, though there's this annoying buzzing coming from over...there!

She stops in front of where she can hear the buzzing and starts swatting at the air]


C'mon, you stupid gnat....
daimondai: (In the maw of the beast (literally))

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Masaru had never been so happy to hear a familiar voice in his LIFE. And Toph could see with her feet! So in an act of desperation he started vibrating even more, using what little movement he could manage in both his wedged condition and pretty stationary form to shake and thump against the wood, metal and stone of the staircase]

Sensei!!!
blindrockstar: (Do Not Want!)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Masaru?

[Weird. She kicked at the metal thing in front of her]

Where are you? I can barely hear you, and I can't see you.
daimondai: (DNW)

/had to keyword match icons

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
I'm stuck in the stairs! [Oh thanks god she'd heard him at all at this point!]
blindrockstar: (Seeing is Believing)

XDD

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
No, you're not.

[Dude, she can see the stairs. There is not body there.]
daimondai: (Ttly not a blush)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Damnit! I'm in my weapon form, it's... really small. I'm the buzzing thing!
blindrockstar: (Seeing is Believing)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Toph kicks at the metal thing again. She can hear Masaru's voice, and he says he's the...what?]

You're a gnat?
daimondai: (A little on the rage-y side)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hey! Who you calling a gnat! I fell in a crack by the stairs! AND STOP KICKING THAT IT'S KINDA LOUD IN HERE!!
blindrockstar: (Please Bitch)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
...Masaru, where are you? Stop trying to trick me.
daimondai: (Despair)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'M NOT LYING! [He can't do much without a Meister, but in his fear and desperation a little flicker of the fiery soul energy that is his weapon ability flares out of the crack, like a lick of fire only with much less heat and giving off a static-y charge, like a tv crackling during a thunderstorm]

If you don't get me outta here I'm gonna get crushed! No one else can hear me! Please... Toph...
blindrockstar: (Seeing is Believing)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[Toph dances out of the way of the flare, because ow.]

Wait....are you in the metal box thingie?
daimondai: (Wince)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I-i think so? My senses are kinda screwy in this form.
blindrockstar: (Seeing is Believing)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen your Weapon form before, Masaru. What is it?

[She kicks at the thing again.]

Is it this?
daimondai: (Too happy)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ow! What the hell is- wait, yes! Yes that's me!

blindrockstar: (Please Bitch)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
Then tell me it's you next time, dingy.

[Toph bends down to pick him up...only to yelp and pull back]

Ow!
daimondai: ([Soul] Pleased)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[He hisses too, buzzing all over again like a tilted pinball machine. His constantly flickering and flame like soul didn't seem to want to mesh with her more solid and earthy one it seemed.

Well shit.]


Hold on, gimme a sec.

[Masaru takes a moment, focusing on the meditation techniques she had been trying to beat into his head. Deep 'breaths' (even in a form with no lungs), soothing his own constantly running and frantic mind and soul. If anything it at least eased the jagged edges of fear he had going on, as well as letting him recall the times he's felt closest to the girl: when she was fighting to teach him something actually useful.]

Okay, try again
blindrockstar: (Sit Down and Shut Up Bitch)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[That was painful. Not "Zuko burning her feet" painful, but ow. Toph stands to the side while Masaru does...Masaru things (seriously, what is he doing?) and waits for the okay]

You burn me again, and we are having two classes a day.

[Again, she reaches for Masaru. Please, no more burning!]
daimondai: ([Soul] Kinda fae looking)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
[As she reaches down he tries to both focus and relax. He's never had a bad resonation before, so this is certainly something new to him.

Oh! No burning! This is a good start. It's certainly nothing like with Armstrong or Tavros or even Chika. But he can work with this!]


Okay, this isn't so bad!
blindrockstar: (Do Not Want!)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
I've had better.

[Like Tem. She carefully picks him up and sets him down on the ground away from the crack.

Well, she drops him, actually. There was a jolt of heat and she panicked]
daimondai: (Glare)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 09:14 am (UTC)(link)
Ow! Shit Toph!

[With a huff and another tiny flare or heat he turns back in a flash or orange.]

And I could say the same, ya know.
blindrockstar: (Sit Down and Shut Up Bitch)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's not my fault you're a brick of weirdo metal that weighs as much as a jackalope.
daimondai: (Teeny smile)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, it's not weird!

[He seems about to keep huffing rather pissedly... but instead unwinds, voice softer.]

But... thanks. You probably saved my life.
blindrockstar: (Default)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Armpunch. In his good arm!]

It's fine. At least you didn't break anything else.
daimondai: (Not sure if want)

[personal profile] daimondai 2012-01-31 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! Yeah... Hey, um... you won't tell anyone I fell in a hole, right?
blindrockstar: (All The Single Ladies)

[personal profile] blindrockstar 2012-01-31 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll think about it.
