Summary: A tornado blows through Luceti! It's loud, windy, and dangerous. React?
Rating: B for Blustery

It had been an unusually warm day for October. Dark clouds loomed in the day and had been accompanied by strong winds. A strange green aura tinted the clouds in the west before it finally happened. It was loud. Deafeningly loud for those near it, like a freight train hurling itself through the sky. Dust and debris whipped up inside it and anything not securely fastened was pulled towards it, sometimes right off the ground. A tornado had formed in Luceti and it was moving fast. Faster than a person could run or follow.

The smart people would be staying inside. The not so smart? Hopefully they could handle it.

((I'd suggest checking this comment out to get an idea for how tornadoes work! A plotting thread exists here as well.)

Comments

[deathsdoctor]

[Law had felt it coming as well - a sailor's storm sense screaming, and he had made one comment about how things were 'Grand Lining' and 'Kipinn is howling'. He's at the Battle Dome for most of the day (Thursdays are a shift day) and is back by just after three to help, very much on standby and ready to teleport back at a moment's notice.

In which he's subtly on edge. He would be down in the Shinonome again, searching for the key, but the signals the weather are giving him tell him to stay put.]

[For a while, Itachi stands outside the front door of the house, just watching the signs as they increase. The wind doesn't bother him, but he knows when to get back into shelter.

It's a curious phenomenon - at least for Luceti. Very little happens here that hasn't been manufactured specifically for them, and he can't help but wonder if this was caused by their captors as well. The chances of it being natural are very slim in his mind.]

[deathsdoctor]

It's going to break loose soon. The air's too heavy and the clouds are beginning to shimmer green.

[Law joins him, the wooden charm hanging off his sword swinging in the wind. It was a protection charm; one specifically against storms.

He sighs a little as he comes to a stop and then makes a comment he sometimes makes when the most violent storms roll in.]

... it really does feel Grand Line-like right now.

[yourhatred]

I have to wonder whether its path will be directed or not.

[It could be natural. It could have been let loose but left to run its course naturally, or it could be a hundred percent focused on wherever the Malnosso wanted it to go.

You never knew here.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Good question. The air shifts a little.]

We're about to find out. I can feel it starting.

[yourhatred]

Then I would suggest getting inside.

[Best to be as safe as possible, anyway.]

[deathsdoctor]

I think that would be a good thing to do. [And he can see the funnel starting to form in the distance before he turns and starts heading indoors to go down to the basement and he whistles.] Very good.

[yourhatred]

[Calmly, hardly appearing as though there was a literal tornado at his heels, Itachi opened the door and walked back inside. He would lock it firmly behind them both before heading downstairs to the most fortified area of the house.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Law has both the cats scooped up before they can escape the basement, and he walks down the steps with a wiggling feline under each arm. They aren't too happy with the incoming storm and Law's not letting them go until Itachi closes the basement door.]

Easy girls. Hopefully this won't last too long.

[yourhatred]

[Itachi closes it and latches it tight too, but doesn't barricade it. It's their only easy escape, after all.

He holds out his arms in order to take one of the cats off Law's hands.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Well that way or teleporting with Room.

Amaya wiggles some more, though she's definitely the calmer of the two cats. In comparison with Sumire, who is a restless bundle of gregarious energy at times, she's the sedate one of the pair. So he carefully places her in Itachi's arms so he can concentrate on calming down the distressed black cat.]

I'm really glad I made this basement right now.

[Never mind it had taken months of very careful application of Devil Fruit abilities and Faerin. It was paying off right now.]

[yourhatred]

It was a very good investment. Well done planning ahead.

[And he really means it. This isn't the first time they've been able to make use of it, after all.]

[deathsdoctor]

[Pet pet pet pet. Sumire is still wiggling but less now. And a sheepish smile is working its way onto Law's face. He doesn't think he's done anything really praiseworthy.]

Aa? Well, I had actually thought of making a basement because it would be better to store to preserves I make [Fruit from the garden, some of Itachi's vegetables, smoked and brined fish. ... more planning ahead, but Itachi was well aware of how Law treated food by now.] somewhere cool. But thanks.

[Said food has made it down into the basement from the upstairs storage room. As has Law's medical supplies, though the man typically likes them where he first had them.]
