∞ 85: Slow recovery [written/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[written]

How is everyone doing? It appears there are no aftershocks to speak of, but the ground has worn away since the initial earthquake. The rivers have overflowed in some areas, eroding the riversides.

The Blue Rogues are organized to rescue people. I'm sure there are others who have pulled together to help out and salvage homes; let me know

[Between rescuing the victims of the earthquake, saving Batman from demons, and now digging for John, it's been a busy time for Wonder Woman.]

The Justice League is doing everything it can in this situation. Feel free to inform the residents that we're here to help.

[And on the matter of that emergency digging-] I'm part of the group who's looking for John, if that's what you're referring to.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I will make a note that the Justice League is there for assistance. Thank you.

[And a pause.] Yes, that is what I am referring to. Would you be willing to meet to discuss those plans?

[Voice]

[orchidsandfire]

It's what we do.

Of course. Do you have a particular destination in mind?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I am situated near the barracks at the moment. [Because of Raine.] If you have somewhere else you would like to meet, let me know.

[Voice]

[orchidsandfire]

No, the barracks is fine. I'll be there in a few minutes.

[Geez, having the ability to fly sure has its perks. After one final acknowledgment, Albert sits back and waits for Diana to arrive. He'll continue tending to Astrid a few paces away from the barracks.]

[action]

[orchidsandfire]

[True, that.

Diana catches sight of the pair a few meters away and lands within walking distance, preferring to make her way towards them on her feet.]

Hello.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert turns when he hears Diana approaching ... though it's really Astrid becoming calmer than usual that catches his attention first.]

Good afternoon. [Well. As good as it could get right now.] How has the digging been going?

[action]

[orchidsandfire]

[She goes to Astrid's side and runs a hand down her mane a few times.]

It's...progressing. [read: she has no idea where to start]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[He frowns wryly, nodding in understanding; he had figured as much. He opens the satchel he had salvaged from his room, pulling out a sheet of paper with sketches. The most prominent is a rough map of strange "branches" (not transposed over the village map).]

I thought that this would be helpful, in that case.

[action]

[orchidsandfire]

[She peers at the map in his hands.]

...Of course the main fault line stretches across the expanse of the village.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

The majority of the village was destroyed because of the western tunnels. This is only a rough sketch of what we explored while the tunnels were accessible by foot; I'm sure you could see the similarities if you had an aerial view.

[action]

[orchidsandfire]

Would you like a clearer map of the damaged areas? As you've said, I'd have a better view from the skies.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

If you could hold your journal over the village, I would have the image recorded. Considering the job at hand, I wouldn't want to take too much of your time.

[action]

[orchidsandfire]

It's no trouble. I could do a quick sweep of the village before I resume searching for John.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

I would appreciate it. [He nods at Diana, closing his satchel.] When you head back to resume digging, the back of the main tunnel is the most likely spot where John will be. There was a large warehouse in the very back when we were exploring.
