[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.

I'll help you find him! Don't worry, I'm sure he's okay.

My name is Ling. Ling Yao. And you are?

...how can you be sure?

And I'm Eve.
forhispeople: (thinking about you and can't stop)

[personal profile] forhispeople 2012-02-03 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Because he's a very smart being! He has all kinds of gadgets and inventions. Maybe he has something to keep him safe in an earthquake, even.

I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Eve.

[Strangely enough, hearing that did make her feel a little better because he was right. For all his silliness, Eve had to remember that Keroro was really a lot more dependable than he let on.]

...I guess all I can do is believe him.

[Right now, she needed to focus on this.]

The park should be up ahead.
forhispeople: (smile- oh yeah you wanna bet?)

The best thing you can do is trust in his abilities.

Okay-- we'll keep an eye out for Mr. Keroro while we're at it.

[Up ahead there was indeed a park. The two of them ran inside, looking around for water. Ling isn't quite sure what he should be looking for, but he keeps his eyes peeled for something watery]

[A nod. And then, more quietly:] Thank you.

[And soon they'll be coming across the fountain she was talking about. It was one of those large, round ones made of stone and the earthquake hadn't been kind to it as there's a larger crack on it. But it was far away enough from the flooded district that there was still water coming out.]

The water coming directly out of the top might be cleaner.

[Ling fills his water bottle, then cups some water in his hand to drink a little. It's been a day of hard work for him, and he knows it's taking its toll on his body. Now that there's not Greed to protect him from harm, he has to remember to be careful again.]

Thank you for showing me this water machine.

[Ling puts his palm to his fist and nods his head forward in his Xingese way of gesturing thanks.]

I'm ready to help you to find Mr. Keroro, then.
