[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.

Watcha doin', Doggy? I was just playing over there, ne.

[ Turns and points in the direction of general destruction. Houses have crumbled down, along with trees. The road they're standing on is filled with holes and cracks. Yet somehow this just seems like a huge, fun playground filled with a bouncy ground for Yachiru! ]
motherofthesun: (White-Light Majesty)

Nobody really speaks wolf

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-05 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Playing? Uh... okay. Well, that playground looks like it might have some people lost in it.]

[She trots forward to explore.]
little_terror: (:3)

hahahah this is a good point

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-05 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh does Doggy wanna play too?

[ Yachiru turns and walks alongside her then! Okay, they can explore!!! ]
motherofthesun: (What an odd scent)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-05 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, not really play. She's going to sniff here and there. Yachiru would've seen trapped people... right?]
little_terror: (something's up my sleeve)

1/2

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ No, because she wasn't paying attention to anything but the ground! ]

Oh, you wanna go this way, Doggy? [ Yachiru asks as she follows behind and then -- ]
little_terror: (merp?)

2/3

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yachiru's face falls when she realizes she hears a little voice calling for help and she freezes in step, turning to look towards the sound. ]
little_terror: (don't interrupt ken-chan ne)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
I think someone needs help, Doggy.

[ Said kinda quietly, as she turns in the general direction of the voice, then starts heading towards it. It's a building that's just about collapsed under its own weight. ]

[Amaterasu follows immediately having heard the voice as well. Oh, this isn't good. Quickly, quickly!]

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Come on, Doggy!

[ Yachiru calls behind to Doggy as she runs up to the house and stares up at the ruins. The foundation seems to have given, the entire structure collapsing inwards on itself. And even the skeleton of the house is broken, its wood-and-steel bones cracked and splintered, jutting up towards the sky. A little yellow ball with green stars pokes out from under a piece of wood and Yachiru reaches that first, and bends down to pick it up, looking at the small ball that fits perfectly in her hand, the sound of crying and a little voice calling for help coming from beyond, muffled under all that wood. ]

I think they're in there, Doggy.

[ Points at the part of the broken structure, where the wood folds in, stabbed through with steel wiring. Yachiru can smell blood, too. She knows that smell anywhere, coppery and sharp. It's the smell that always fills the air whenever Ken-chan fights, and the only thing she breathed when she was still very small. When there was more blood than air.

She doesn't wait to confer with Doggy and just starts to scale the precarious structure rather agilely. For a tiny girl, she's deceptively good at climbing things. ]

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu wasn't waiting either. She has to worm her way into the structure without disturbing it and causing it to collapse since she's unable to climb like Yachiru. Her eyes glow in the gloom and even her white fur casts some light]

[She lets out a series of light, calming woofs to alert whoever is stuck that help is here.]
little_terror: (concerned)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, kay? We're gonna get you out!!!

[ The voice is a little boy, that much Yachiru can tell as she moves pieces of wood and tries really, really hard to tug and pull things. She can feel the little splinters going into her palms and it hurts a little but it's not too bad, not nearly as bad as being thrown really hard into a building and having it fall on you, anyway. So she keeps pulling with all her might and she's realizing that this isn't as easy as she thought it would be. In the past she could've just given a little tug and the entire top of the wood pile would've gone flying. But now she has to take her time and try really hard just to move things piece by piece. ]

Can you see him yet, Doggy?
motherofthesun: (White-Light Majesty)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu shakes her head and keeps moving aside pieces to get closer. The voice is getting louder though. Her ears rotate forward]
little_terror: (really srs now)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yachiru works really, really hard to pull on the wood, even when it scrapes her palms raw and the blood makes things a little slippery. She doesn't like it, not one bit, but she's gotta keep trying, because she's not as strong as she used to be back in Soul Society. She pulls and pulls and pulls and piece by piece, even with the muscles of her small arms straining and burning, she manages to make a small hole so she can see into it.

A little boy with brown hair and green eyes is crying. He's lying on his tummy and there's a piece of wood across him. ]

Doggy! I don't think he can move! I'm gonna go down there and get the wood off, kay?
motherofthesun: (Wolf: Bleh...)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu doesn't miss the blood beginning to spill from Yachiru. Amaterasu sees the boy and immediately doesn't like Yachiru's plan. That's very dangerous and she's already cut her palm open. Still, she begins to nudge the hole a little wider; the girl could easily slip in while she's occupied.]
little_terror: (hmph)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yachiru thinks if she doesn't go in there now and help the boy, maybe something will fall on him and he'll get more hurt. The smell of blood is really, really strong here, and she doesn't think it's from the boy because it's too much. If it was from him, he wouldn't be moving anymore... So it's probably someone else, crushed under all that wood. She jumps down into the hole and goes to the boy. ]

I'm gonna move this, kay? Try not to move too much.

[ Says to boy and then bends down and starts to tug at the piece of wood, which is really, really heavy. ]
motherofthesun: (Omgosh did you see that?!)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu notices after a moment that Yachiru dropped down and barks, alarmed and looking into the hole. Ah, she needs to jump down now!]
little_terror: (>:O)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yachiru thinks Doggy is just trying to give her encouragement, but the wood is really, really, really heavy!! She pulls and pulls and it's really hard to move, but she just keeps trying. Finally she huffs a little and looks up at Doggy. ]

Doggy! Can you find a big, strong stick? I gotta push this off him cuz it's not moving!

[ And Yachiru knows some kind of strong stick will give her the kind of "leverage" she needs. She learned this a long time ago! ]

motherofthesun: (Fanged Fury)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[No time to find a stick. Amaterasu leaps down when she spots a big enough clearing. Her claws click as she lands much like a cat and hurries over. With a snarl, her fangs sink into the wood deeply. Her shoulders hunch and her paws splay as she begins to lift.]
little_terror: (hell no!)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yachiru pulls and pulls with her and little by little the wood moves, and finally they manage to tug it right off the boy! It falls to the ground with a big thump. ]
motherofthesun: (Yes?)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 07:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu lets go once it's gone and licks her fangs and lips. Alright, that's one... she looks around.]
little_terror: (i'm busy watching ken-chan)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ The little boy is crying and Yachiru bends down to peer at him closely, and gently turns him onto his back which makes him cry more because his arm is bent in a funny angle. Which probably means it's broken. He's littler than her. ]

Don't cry anymore, kay? We're gonna get you out, ne. [ Softly to the boy, and then she looks to Doggy, unsure of what to do. ]

I think he needs to see a doctor, Doggy. His arm's broken.
motherofthesun: (Physical Sun)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 07:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm? Is that right? Amaterasu walks back over and offers her back. Get him on and she'll get him to the clinic one way or another.]
little_terror: (srs thinky face)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ It takes some effort and a few failed attempts, but Yachiru manages to hoist the little boy up onto Doggy's back, belly down. ]

Try to hold on with your good hand, kay?

[ Says to the little boy as she pats his shoulder a little. ]
motherofthesun: (Just a white wolf)

[personal profile] motherofthesun 2012-02-06 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
[She could've laid down if you said something.]

[Amaterasu glances back, blinking once the boy is on. All secure there?]
little_terror: (relieved)

[personal profile] little_terror 2012-02-06 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ The easy way is rarely ever the best way! How else will Yachiru get strong if she asks for easy ways out? She smiles, a little relieved that the boy is going to be safe now. ]

Take him to the doctor, kay, Doggy? Let's get out of here!

[ And Yachiru's crawling out of the hole. ]
