[OPEN] Earthquake Event

[soul_mods]

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.

[He nods at Roy's admission, and doesn't pursue the subject any further. He knows he is the last person to complain about someone else not knowing something.]

[The other thing he has to say is much more interesting to him.] If you lack fighters, I would lend my sword arm.

[thewarisover]

[That catches his attention.]

I'd like that a lot, actually. You'd be doing this city a great service, as well.

[toshinebrighter]

[He bows his head respectfully.] I am yours to command. What would you have me do, and when, and where? [If Roy detects a hint of ritualized behavior, he's not imagining things--the Warrior is used to serving, that more than anything, and the form of it is established.]

[thewarisover]

[He does notice, of course. It kind of reminds him of Alucard.]

Well, first: let's focus on relief efforts. After that, I can show you how to sign up with us officially. We need patrolmen the most, if you're willing to do that sort of thing.

[toshinebrighter]

I am. [He does not hesitate, and no expression of distaste or disappointment crosses his face, not even for a moment.] And I will return my attention to the now, then, if our business is concluded?

[thewarisover]

Yeah. You can use the network well now, I hope?

[toshinebrighter]

I have learned how, yes.

[thewarisover]

Then you can contact me through there when you're ready. The inbox for Death City's Office for General Security and the Watch is also accessible from your communicator.

[toshinebrighter]

Very well. By your leave. [He turns halfway from Roy, then says] Good luck, [before turning back to his work entirely.]
