[Action A - Remains of 457 Stone Street]

[From the moment that Heinz awoke on his bed of rough rubble, he had been edging closer and closer to full-blown panic. It had just been a little apprehensive shiver, when he first roused himself. It became a faint shaking to his hands as he picked through the ruins, trying to find any familiar objects or

[Lym woke up in rubble and her clothes were missing, just these kind of charred rags so she went out looking for people and something a bit more becoming of her stature. Hearing the digging sounds from the house she peered over the rubble, and Doof will see the wide eyes of a slightly shell shocked 12 year old girl]

[Doofenshmirtz is tearing aside the rubble of his home with increasing agitation. And exertion. He looks about ready to risk throwing out his back, hefting a beam. Good thing someone was calling out to him.]

Eeeh? What?

[He stops. He looks at her. He stares blankly at the chaos and ruin around them, breathing heavily.]

...do you have a backhoe? That... that might be useful. To... move it aside.

I don't know what a backhoe is, but is someone trapped down there?

Wait, was she um... A... What did Miakis and Lyon call them.

[She ponders a minute]

A drone?

[doofenstrudel]

No, no, they are not drones! They are real! Present! Actual people!

If they were drones, I would not be so concerned. Pfft.

[solarhussyalert]

Maybe she just got separated when the building went weird. I kind of got separated from the people I live with so it can happen.

[doofenstrudel]

I would hope not. Everyone was in bed! Everyone was safe! Unless one of them snuck out in the middle of the night....

[solarhussyalert]

Um, yes. I've never done that myself.

[She looks down looking a bit embarrassed]

[doofenstrudel]

...well that is a suspicious sort of denial.

[He sighs deeply.]

They... they are probably out there, somewhere....

[solarhussyalert]

If you want I can help you look for them? I'm looking for my brother and bodyguard so...
