VIDEO ✍ 007 --> IMMEDIATE EVACUATION ORDER

[chose_death]

[Considering a castle just fell out of the sky, Chief Inspector Javert appears somewhat shaken, but otherwise deceptively calm, his expression a statuesque maelstrom of indecipherable shock. After all, he is one of those lucky few that stood directly underneath the Overlord's former domain as it veered straight over the tops of the District Five

[As unimpressed as she is trying to appear, it should be easy for a man like Javert to see the shock behind Naomi`s expression. Nearly two years she has been in this world, but never has there ever been any indication that the floating castle would ever become unstable and fall so terrifyingly from the sky. What was really at work behind this mess?

She`s shook a little deeper than usual, her worry displayed obviously in the way her eyes brush over Javert`s face as if trying to read his thoughts. If he was disturbed from the events, her own concern would only triple. Naomi brushes the hair from her face, a calm and casual gesture, before she speaks.

She`s happy to see Javert wasn`t in the wrong place when it fell, even if he was a bit too close for comfort.]

Have you heard of any major medical emergiences yet?

[chose_death]

None. [Javert's voice is clipped and firm.] But that does not mean there aren't any.

[What was really at work behind this disaster is certainly lingering in the back of the Inspector's mind, but it isn't his priority at the moment. His first and foremost duty is to ensure the safety of the Somarium people... and to secure the investigation.

About the disaster itself, however, Inspector Javert is a difficult man to read. What Naomi could see with the naked eye is his rumpled and untidy appearance. The Inspector was outside when the Castle descended and crash landed in the desert, so the wind and debris whipped around him as if it were doomsday epitomized. Overall, aside from a few scratches, he looks physically to be none the worse for wear

[She stares back at him, her shock over the incident already evaporating. There wasn`t time to sit around her lab and draw impossible theories as why the castle fell or what else the population should try to prepare for in the future. That would be for later, when this mess has been dealt with. For now, she will provide help in the only way she knows how.

Stare all you want, Javert.]

Just as clear as yours, I`m sure.

[chose_death]

[Javert regards her in severe silence, his expression fixed in one of revulsion. Eventually, he concedes with a low, terse sigh. If he had to be perfectly honest, the police would need all the assistance they could get.]

You must dress the part, then. Don't you have anything practical to put on your feet in that closet of yours? Not heeled shoes.

[scientize]

Done. [Though she normally would grin and tease Javert for her victory against him, the situation is far too serious for the doctor to act so childishly. Naomi nods firmly in reply to the Inspector`s sigh, already moving to her bedroom to raid her closet. This is a compromise that she is willing to make.]

Where do you need me?

[chose_death]

Without argument? I am impressed.

[In the feed, Javert appears to look up at something above the edge of the screen.

He says, tersely and mysteriously, whilst he replaces his hat back atop his head,]

I won't waste time on an explanation. Come with me, rather.

[Click. He hangs up.]

[ACTION]

[scientize]

[Though she should be arching an eyebrow at his cryptic command, the woman is far too used to Javert's oddness by now. Even without the false memories between them, they've spent quite a bit of time in Somarium together. Tucking the phone back into her pocket, Naomi pulls out a pair of black flats (that were hidden far into a dark corner of her closet) and immediately slips into them.

When she finally emerges from her room, blouse buttoned up partially to make herself look 'more practical', the doctor freezes for the briefest of seconds upon spying Javert already in her home.

This wasn't the first time he'd just let himself in either. It seems like this was beginning to be a common occurrence. Wonderful.]

That was quick. Already expecting to recruit me?

[ACTION]

[chose_death]

[Javert, truth be told, moving from Police Headquarters in District Five to Naomi's lab when she responded to his evacuation order. He knows the stubborn, irritating woman better than he would ever care to admit; in the face of certain disaster, she is the sort to cling to her lab and 'go down with the ship.' The Inspector intended to beat her out and convince her (to put it delicately) to exit the fifth district while the police sorted this mess out.

But if there is one thing the Inspector cannot deny it is her usefulness as a medical doctor during this disaster. She is one of the most capable physicians in Somarium, despite it not being her specialty, and with the anticipated injuries and trapped civilians in the castle's debris, she is a necessary addition to the investigate and rescue team.

When Naomi emerges from her room, Javert is examining whatever damage, if any, he can see in her lab. He is making another mental tally of things that must be replaced. Again. With his hard-earned money to make up for his mistakes in the

[She changed her shoes for you, so stop complaining and be grateful.

There's a moment where she is frozen in place, regarding Inspector Javert with a careful, but intense gaze. He appears the same as he did over the network--frazzled, but unharmed. Good.She's pleased with that for now. Time to move onto other things.

Pulling her dark hair back into a much firmer ponytail, Naomi crosses through the room, moving past the tall man towards the front door. There's an impatience in her movements, a need to hurry and get to the scene of the damage. The woman fears she's already wasted far too much valuable time preparing to head out.

She casts a look over her shoulder at him, obviously waiting.]

You don't need to worry about me. I'm ready. Lead the way, Inspector.
