Zompania Draft - Clean Up [Day 3.5 --> Day 4.5]

Who: Anyone?! Anyone
What: Cleaning up the city and starting the defenses
When: After the bomb is dealt with
Where: In Zompania
Summary: After the bomb is dealt with the city does need to finish the retaking and then start on preparing its defenses before the reinforcements show up on the later end of day four.
Rating: D(raft)

[ The Battle to retake Zompania is not quite over once the bomb is dealt with, and the Battle of Zompania is far from over. But in that period before the reinforcements show up, there is somewhat less stress. Or maybe more (what with Davis's last words) - but you do need to worry less about stealth and that means that some people can get to work on cleaning up the city for corpses, forage out equipment, deal with the dead and wounded, and start making defenses, possibly out of the parts of downed airships?! Other things which are able to be done with the immediate fear of the bomb gone but before things get a second wind. This is that log ]

[It isn't until later that afternoon that Shuda arrives, after the reinforcements have finally made it to the city. He's no stranger to death, not after his time spent as a bounty hunter and then as one of the most feared generals in all of Demon Card-- he'd brought more than his share of it upon people over the years. Still, this is a sight that manages to turn even his stomach, and it's with a grim face that he makes his way through the piles of bones.

Strange as it may seem, he's actually happy to find someone digging graves to bury them in. This boy looks exhausted, though, and it's clear from the sheer number of bones that this is a task he won't be able to handle all by himself.]


Need a hand?

[He looks at Rin, then at the amount of digging he's already done. This project is obviously going nowhere fast.]

I can do this faster than with a shovel. Stand back.

Further back.

[It's an odd request, but Rin will understand why once Shuda gets to work.]

[That's more like it. Shuda shifts his stance, holding his hand out for a moment with a look of concentration on his face. He'll need to be extremely precise with this to avoid making too much of a mess...]

You might want to cover your ears.

[A sort of magic, yes, as Rin will see in just a few seconds when a sudden explosion rocks the ground in front of them, sending a burst of dirt flying upwards.

Controlled excavation via explosion is far more efficient for creating a fairly large grave than digging is-- it's just also a good deal louder and somewhat messier.]

I caused an explosion with my Dark Bring.

[Because that will make total sense to Rin, really.]

It would take all day if you dug it with a shovel. The faster we finish this, the faster we can go deal with the people responsible for this.

I can make as many more of these as we need. It may end up being more than one.

[The look on his face is grim-- that's a lot of skeletons that need burying.]

[Shuda watches Rin for a moment before he moves to gently pick up one of the skeletons to ferry it over to the makeshift grave. It's hardly fair of him to do the easy part and let Rin handle all of the hard stuff, after all.]

I'm Shuda.

[Shuda, meanwhile, seems to have no such compunction about just lifting them up princess-style to carry them over to the makeshift grave. It's the easiest and fastest method, and frankly he isn't interested in spending any more time on this than necessary. He wants to go after the people responsible.]

That's war.

[Shuda has seen it before in his own world-- ironically, he stumbled across a similar scene (on a smaller scale) not too long before he ended up in Luceti.

And he doesn't like it one bit.]

No one said it was right. It's just the way it is.

[personal profile] dancing_flames 2014-07-23 07:15 am (UTC)(link)
And what will you do about it? Try to put an end to the war all by yourself?

[There's a slightly sharper edge to his tone now. While he recognizes where Rin's anger is coming from, he also knows that it isn't going to be productive, not right now.]
dancing_flames: (Don't even think about it)

[personal profile] dancing_flames 2014-07-23 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly. We're all in this, which is why we need to work together.

[And that's saying something, considering how much of a lone wolf Shuda is.]
dancing_flames: (I accept your challenge)

[personal profile] dancing_flames 2014-07-28 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
And we will. But right now, someone has to bury these bodies, and I don't see anyone else stopping to help.

[Blunt as ever.]
