hi, guess what failmod slept in

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone!
What: Earthquake
When: The morning of the quake and beyond
Where: ...Everywhere?
Summary: It was requested that a general reactionary log be tossed up when the quake happens so people can react in their own way without having a zillion posts. Individual posts are obviously still fine, but this might help people out.
Rating: Uh. G? PG for maybe violence and language? idk. /awesome at


[There is an earthquake! And it is collapsing stuff! Go forth and save yourseeeeelves!




...Okay yeah I've got nothing. You guys know what to do. Can be action or full log style. HAVE AT. And sorry for lateness -_-;]

[Throughout the village, Sonic is quickly trying to dart around, looking for people in danger or even rubble to clear. He may not be super strong, but his speed and quills make digging through hard chunks of rock a breeze.]

[ everyone knows what sort of shape the clinic is in. shuri was unlucky enough not to escape the falling rubble. that room he was in completely caved in, leaving him trapped under a whole mess of heavy, sharp debris.

but don't worry, folks. notakor has got this covered.]

[fyulong]

[DAMMIT SHURI AND HE WAS JUST COMING OVER TO BRING YOU SOME YAKISOBA. Stupid wounded blonds :|

Having visited before to bring some cards, he knows where Shuri was in the clinic, so Mikage abandons the food and goes to work digging through the rubble, using whatever strength he has and his zaiphon to try to open up a path.]

Oi, Shuri! Are you in there!?

[At the first light shake, Kratos didn't worry. When it grew dangerously fiercer and the walls began to groan and rumble, he knew that this was much more than some small quake.

It took him a few more seconds than he would've liked, considering the ground was shaking and Kratos found it difficult to keep his balance, but soon enough, he found Presea's room and carried her outside. The girl was still fatigued from the war against the third party, but she was wide awake by the time Kratos set her down on the ground.

He looked back at the shaking and roaring house, knowing that it was on the verge of collapsing... And yet he knew that he left behind some things that he couldn't allow to be destroyed.

For once, reason and logic lost. Kratos rushed back inside.]

[not-klonoa.livejournal.com]

[Presea had been resting in bed when she felt the rumbling. Before it even got to the point of escalating, she was already wide awake and out of bed, only to see Kratos storm into her room, scoop her up, and rush her outside. She was silent throughout the whole ordeal, just a little confused as to what was happening.

Of course, she realized it was an earthquake once they were outside, and she saw the house beginning to cave in. Presea blinks, and before Kratos can get too far, her hand shoots up and grasps his wrist tightly. She looked down at it, staring, as if the appendage had just betrayed her or something.]

[Immediately after the earthquake, Terra departs her house. She returns to grab her journal after a moment, leaving a quick message begging people she knows to check in and let her know if they're alright or if they need help. Then, she leaves a message for Shadow. As Secret-Keeper, he'll need to be available. Once that's done, she keeps going.

And...Terra will be all around town. Her main priority is heading to Community Building 1, but she will stop to assist any immediate need along the way, either with healing or lifting or the like. Even afterward, she will continue to make her way around town and help or heal anyone who needs it. At some point, Terra's likely to drop from exhaustion, but the young woman has a lot of stamina for someone of her build and size, and will keep trying to help those in need as long as possible.]

[shrouded-reaper.livejournal.com]

[It's probably a good thing in Shadow's case that he gets so restless and spends these nice summer nights outside. Especially lately- all of the issues on the draft have stirred his subconscious to a crazy extent and it seems like he has fewer dreams outside. He'd managed to be out in the woods at the time the quake struck, shaken abruptly awake when it hit.]

[Now he's wandering into town and keeping an eye out for familiar faces...]

[Rydia is currently staying at that cave in the mountains with Kain -taking time away from everyone else to help him and deal with her own grief- but that doesn't prevent her from warping over to the house soon after the quake. If Kain comes with her, that's fine, but she's not going to push him.

Upon reaching the second floor, she immediately begins calling out for everyone.]

Edward! Ceodore!

[Oh, and...she opens her journal and semi-yells into it.]

Golbez! Are you alright? Respond to me!

[Voice]

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

[Golbez's voice is as calm and reasoned as ever, almost impossibly so.]

I've escaped. The community building I was in collapsed, but I am personally undamaged.

[In Community Building 3, it didn't take long after the quake began for Jay to realize that it was time to GTFO. So he grabbed his supplies bag and stuffed canned food into it, plus a can opener, and then his journal. He then grabbed his other "essentials," things he didn't really need, but just couldn't bear to do without. Like his birthday presents. He stuffed the paddle ball from Chibi-Usa, the wind chime from Shirley, and above all else, the Oresoren doll from Stella.]

[At that moment, he felt the floor cracking beneath him, and the ceiling cracking above him. Not wasting any more time, he dashed towards his window, crashing through the glass, falling to the ground below from the second story. He landed on his feet, rolling once to soften the landing. He shot a quick glance at the building before taking off to avoid the incoming debris of the collapsing building.]

[The moment Miyabi got down from the mountains after talking to Sanji (http://oda-hates-me.livejournal.com/18857.html?thread=2895529#t2895529), she took a little trip to her favorite spot in Luceti. She prayed every second that she was on the hawk she was riding that the sakura tree was still standing, and that Ammy would be there.

Ammy was the only one she knew who had the pure strength to help out with those who needed it most. And since she was half certain their powers had been returned to them, well. Ammy would be the best candidate for her to seek out right now.

When the two do meet, and Miyabi explains the situation to her goddess, they two are immediately racing off together - with Miya riding on the wolf's head - and will be stirring up some Divine Intervention left and right with a flick of their brushes.]

[Flight is a very useful ability to have when the earth starts to shake. Arche's out of her house and in the nice, safe air in seconds.

But she doesn't give herself any time to relax. From her vantage point it's all too easy to see what looks like the rest of the village starting to collapse in seconds. Cursing violently under her breath, she turns sharply and launches off at full speed, her destinations being House 34 and the SoS Brigade building, in that order.]

Location: House #8

[fortunefail]

[Yuan hadn't been expecting much from today. The draft had only just ended, and with no New Feathers coming in, what could possibly happen? In short, he'd let his guard down. He came to regret that the moment the earthquake hit. Immediately jumping to his feet, he realized this wasn't just a bit of rumbling; it was a big one. He could feel the house's foundations shaking underneath him and knew there wasn't a moment to spare.

He pocketed his journal and dashed towards Martel's room in a matter of seconds. That was about as long as they had before the house's north east walls started to collapse and sink away into a tunnel.]

Martel!

Re: Location: House #8

[martelandmany.livejournal.com]

[Martel met him halfway, though, appearing in the doorway to her room, looking alarmed.] Yuan, what's happening?! [How would he know? But it's still her reflex to look to him for wisdom, so she asked anyway.]

Location: House 10

[god-is-a-dude.livejournal.com]

[...Or more specifically, half of it. Or what's left of half of it. You see, there's a little problem that happens when half of your house happens to rest on top of the tunnels and the tunnels collapse. Namely, the house goes down with it. Or in this instance, the foundation partially gives way and the house bisects itself more or less and Haruki Suzumiya happens to go tumbling down with it. And a bunch of Earth and-

Well the point is that he ends up buried under a ton of things but in a room of sorts. It takes him a while to awake - there's limited light buried under all this stuff so he's not sure if it's minutes or hours, but he's waking up late to limited light from little gaps in the rubble. Oh and a flashlight which - damn his luck is good - happened to fall and click on a little to his right.

Looking around, as best he can figure, he's in the remains of the downstairs bathroom. Of course... well. He's not alone down here either. There is one other fellow who is trapped down here with him. Specifically a little to his left (though Haruki seems to recall him being on top of him earlier...)]

[emp3thy]

[Said person is leaning slightly over Haruki, though he backs up once the other boy comes around. He doesn't get far - there isn't much space left to move. His blue hair is coated in a layer of plaster dust from the cracked cieling.

This morning Minato had decided to pay Shiki a surprise visit, hoping to catch her before she headed to All Passions. Instead he ran into Haruki in the living room. And then, before the atmosphere could even begin to get awkward, the entire house began to shake. Minato had been through earthquake drills during a short time living in Tokyo and instinct immediately kicked in. He shoved the other boy towards the nearest doorframe, the bathroom, and had just enough time to duck and cover before the entire house crashed down.

Now that Haruki is awake, he sits back on his heels and leans against the closest remaining solid wall. The awkward atmosphere can commence.]

...I think it stopped.

[book-of-chaos.livejournal.com]

[An early morning breakfast. Some light reading in the living room. Leon's morning was pretty lazy, and much appreciated after the draft. He's working on the floor of his room, tinkering and experimenting on new flows for symbols he had gotten his hands on, when the quaking starts.]

What the...

[He stumbles to his feet, but quickly discovers that's not the best idea when he's thrown against the wall. His eyes widen as he hears the sounds of wood and plaster cracking, and he smacks against the floor as he scrambles towards his desk. The various items he had been taking apart in his room crash and make considerable noise, and he squeezes underneath the desk in time to see the roof collapse on top of his bed.

When the tremors finally stop, he can't see out from underneath the desk anymore; there is dust all over, the debris blocks off the majority of his room, and it's far too quiet.

He starts yelling. For Rena. For anyone.]

[im-the-cute-one.livejournal.com]

[Miu, understandably, is freaked. She managed to get out of her community housing building, and she doesn't want to be around any other tall buildings. So she cuts through the forest, planning to go somewhere else.

Only, she wasn't paying attention to which way she ran, and now people were running everywhere. She finds herself crossing a river, then--she hears someone yelling.

That means move closer, right? Because she's a Blue Rogue, right? And she kind of knows that voice, so she yells out at the top of her lungs--]

THIS ISN'T A DRILL! PLEASE STAY CALM! I THINK!

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

[Derek was, of all things, in the shower when the quake hit. He heard the warning rumbles, of course, but he was in the process of trying to rinse shampoo out of his hair when the shaking started. He immediately cranked the water off, bracing himself where he was; he'd lived in Cali long enough to know it was too late. In the bathroom, and in other places, stuff tumbled from shelves and off the walls. Derek winced at the sound of breaking glass, wondering if it was the dishes he'd left drying on the sink, or the windows of the house.

After a moment, the tremors stopped. Derek could already hear people outside calling out, maybe a few screams, collapsing buildings. House 55 seemed all right, but that didn't mean anything. He grabbed a towel, wrapping it around himself as he called out to whatever housemates might still be home.]

Raphael? Don? Casey? You guys all right?

Location: The River

[markofthebrave]

[The Avatar house took some of the least damage, and is remarkably still intact. So Katara shakes herself off and reaches quickly for her journal.]

Everyone okay? Sokka? Toph?

[And after exchanging a few words, she heads over to where the most damage has been done - towards buildings C1 and C2.

Katara breaks into a run over the uneven ground when she hears it, the sound of powerfully rushing water. Whatever damage had been done had loosed the river from its banks. That's a lot even for a master waterbender to handle. But that doesn't mean she's not going to try. If anyone's in trouble along the river, give her a shout - if not, she'll be busy trying to make dams out of ice.]

[markofthewise]

[After confirming Katara's safety and Toph's as well, Sokka had made other stops to make sure certain people were safe. Eventually his paths cross with his sister. He lowers the pickaxe he brought as he surveys what she's doing and if there's anything he can do to help. He's not quite a bender, so rerouting a river is a little out of his specialty. Man, if only they could use Toph at the moment...]

How long will those hold?

Location: Building 3 (rescue mission)

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

[Despite the fact that her house actually was one that collapsed completely, Iris is out trying to rescue anyone else she can. She got herself out of the rubble of house #2 quickly enough via her teleportation skills and is headed out to building #3 after talking to Adell.

If anyone is in building 3 and needs a rescue, feel free to comment, also anyone else out rescuing people can use this thread for the folks helping out there.]

[followsthestory.livejournal.com]

[Living on the seventh floor seemed like a good idea, really. Not when there's an earthquake, though. There just wasn't enough time to get down seven flights of stairs, though she was close. Maryann had made it to about the second floor before she decided to duck in a room and cover herself, cradling her journal.]

location: House 36

[mydadsthedoctor.livejournal.com]

[Well, the Who house certainly took enough damage again. Especially considering it's now a huge heap. It never does seem to get a break, though this time, it seems like it had been occupied.

Lucky for Jenny however, a beam managed to keep most of the buildings weight off of her, though it had hardly stopped a part of the house from falling on top of her leg.

She could easily feel the pain soaring through it, and could feel some blood seeping through her clothes, but it was hardly a time to worry about that as she felt around searching for the best way out. After some time, she managed to find a loose plank above her, and pushed up on it, feeling it shift as the sunlight came through. Using a little more of her strength, she managed to shift it just enough to crawl through the small hole she had made, ignoring the pain in her leg as she dragged herself out through it and took in the damage. Everything she could see was a mess, and the house was in worse shambles then she had expected, but again, that wasn't something she could think about quite yet. Especially since she knew there had been someone else in the house.]

Dad! Can you hear me?! Are you okay?! [She was yelling as loud as she could manage, and she could only hope that he was okay.]

[im-brilliant.livejournal.com]

[Oh, so this is what he had been feeling. Of course. Earthquakes happen on other planets, why not-... Anyway, because he chose to be fascinated and try to figure out why there was an earthquake going on, he kind of....didn't quite make it out of the house. Also, he had to save K9. K9 is very important and he was a lot of work to build so damn right he's going back to save the microwave-robot-dog.

Yeah, he's kind of a derp in that aspect.

So now he's kind of stuck under some of the rubble. He doesn't hurt per say because shock is a very lovely thing sometimes. And it's only a crushed ribcage. No big deal, he's a Time Lord. Worse things have happened. Maybe some fractured vertebrae which he might feel later when he goes to sleep but right now he'd just like to not be stuck. That'd be pretty great.]

Jenny! I-I'm sorry... I only had him plugged in for a few minutes, there's no way he could have blown up the house. It's- [Cough. Ew. Debris down the windpipe.] I'm fine!

[K9, who only has some scrapes, decides to actually be useful and go to her.]

[When the rumbling had begun, Bella had been sitting upon her bed, just pulling on her shoes, ready for a day out, and though she had quickly managed to stand, she found her own klutziness working against her, as she stumbled to the floor. Again, she managed to stand up and this time make it to the door of her bedroom, only to be thrown to the floor again by the vibrations of the earthquake.

Beside her, she heard glass shatter as a vase fell and she watched as part of the building began to fall apart, a beam landing in front of the front door, her exit. She was trapped. The building falling apart piece by piece, and there was no way out. Wonderful, she really did seem to have the worst luck. How was she getting out of this one?]

[dayofcentury.livejournal.com]

[And, Edward was on a few floors below, using a door like a sane person, when the building starts to rumble. Immediately he starts heading up towards Bella's room!]

[pinkribbons.livejournal.com]

[Yuzu was unfortunate enough to be in her room when Community Building 3 began to shake. She immediately drops to the ground under her desk, as the building crashes down around her. Luckily enough she is not on the side of the building that tips into the tunnel.

When the shaking stops her door is unusable, but fortunately the cracked window beside her is still intact. She climbs out of it, pushing her way through a layer of rubble to burst out into the sunlight covered in cement dust. Also, extremely freaked out. She manages to get a few feet from the sinking building before collapsing to the ground herself.]

[hotheadedidiot]

[Stahn's running through the village, dodging whatever falls around him and trying not to fall into holes, when he spots Yuzu. Finally! He runs over to her.]

Hey, are you alright?

Community Housing #4, Room #7

[redroseprince.livejournal.com]

[Jennifer should have known something was wrong when Brown lifted his head from his usual spot at her feet and let loose a low, ominous growl that eventually trailed off into a pitiful whimper. She frowned before leaning down to stroke his head in an attempt to comfort the animal, but he was already up, fur standing on end and tail tucked in between his legs. It wasn't until a moment later when a rumble rolls across the ground that she discovered what had caused her beloved pet such agitation.

Her breath catches in her throat and her stomach knots up in fear as the shaking becomes more and more vicious, the various knickknacks she had acquired during her stay falling and shattering unforgivingly onto the floor. Jennifer remains frozen to the spot, unaware she was now gripping the front of her dress so hard that the knuckles has turned white, unaware that her breathing was becoming faster and more panicked with each passing second. Everything in her line of sight had changed somehow; the modestly decorated apartment room was now morphing into an austere sort of elegance she had only seen once before; in the low-lit compartments of the first-class wing of an airship.

But it was not very lovely to look at now, as the room gave a dangerous lurch and suddenly, Jennifer was acutely aware that they were hurtling to the ground in a mass of machinery and flames, and mother, oh mother-

Jennifer, soft and nervous though she was, tended to have very subdued reactions for her emotions. Most situations only managed to elicit a fearful expression or a troubled frown. Maybe some light crying if the situation was particularly traumatizing.

Therefore, it's a bit strange that upon being part of this unfortunate event, Jennifer chooses to react by letting out a shrill scream of pure terror. Her legs gave way and she crumpled limply to the ground, vaguely noting the echoing thud of her head hitting the floor and the dull pain that followed, before her consciousness grayed and faded away.]

Community Housing #4, Room #7

[corrinesbell]

[It will be a while before Sheena even gets to that building. She's been systematically going to the places where people she knows live, but just one community building is a huge lot of digging out and rescuing. And she's tired.

It actually takes a minute or two for her to remember who exactly lives here that might be in trouble...but once she does, she's into the mess - much like others, surely, who got here before her - and with enough careful shifting and digging she should reach Jennifer's room after a while.

And if she's still unconscious by then, that's a problem.]

[When the ground began to lightly shake, Gold didn't think much of it at first. As a Pokemon trainer, you're used to that sort of thing all the time, right?

When the shaking began to increase in intensity without signs of stopping, he began to get worried, so he started gathering up the Pokemon that were still in the house and not with their trainers.

When the house started rumbling, with things falling off the wall, well... That was a sign to get the hell out.

So now Gold's standing outside over on the bridge, surrounded by various Pokemon belonging to him and his housemates, as the house begins to crumble apart from the earthquake.]

Dammit...

[followsthestory.livejournal.com]

Gold!

[Is Maryann ever glad to see Gold. She's going to run over to him, though she's obviously tired. And dirty. She just survived her community housing building crumbling, and her first thought was to check on the Pokédex holders.]

I'm...glad to see you're alright. Where's Blue and Red? ...Have you heard from Bill?

As soon as the shaking stops, however, he's out looking for anyone who might need help, or those who are still trapped.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Did we pick one heck of a time to go swimming? Nami's already attempting to pull herself out of the river as the first shock hits, when the ground bucks under her feet and sends her toppling back into the water with a yelp.

The riverbed is a wreck, splitting in places as the weight of rock and mud and the water itself tries to bear down on the tunnel that crosses beneath, and the drag of the water as it tries to rush down through gaping cracks that didn't exist a minute ago is too powerful for someone who doesn't have the strength of most of her crew. And so now? There's some highly panicked shrieking and flailing as one (1) navigator tries her best not to get sucked down with the river.]

[Zoro is meditating in the shade of the trees across the road from House 6 when the ground abruptly tries to wrench itself out from under him. While he's still in the middle of wtf-ing over that and jerking himself to his feet, his head whips to the side, hearing a scream. And, well. That scream has become highly familiar over the time he's been nakama with a certain navigator.

This is one (1) swordsman sprinting his way lightfootedly over heaving ground the short distance to the—damn, collapsing river, and is that—yup, it is—]

[13th_captain]

[9:30 AM finds Arumat in his usual spot at the barracks, shredding practice dummies with his scythe. He's just landed a particularly hard blow when the entire building and the ground itself begin to shake with a surprising force; while he's never experienced an earthquake before, it doesn't take a genius to realize that something not-so-good is going on, and as soon as the shaking subsides enough for him to run without losing his balance, he's racing for House 25 as fast as his legs can carry him.

Not that he's worried about Myuria and Draco or anything, of course.]

[hisdarkmark]

[Honestly, Arumat has no reason to not-worry about Myuria and Draco. Okay, maybe Myuria, but Draco's perfect capable of taking care of himself. Lucky them, House 25 wasn't directly on a fault line, but it was close enough that the rumbles through the ground still disrupted the order of the house and knocked over trees in the surrounding area. Draco himself is outside once the shaking actually stops, frantically flipping through his journal trying to track people down. Arumat, you're temporarily taking a backseat until you announce your presence.]
