zestien - Destruction

[A] - 1447 Mitchell Rd.

[Holland is slowly, slowly waking up amidst rubble.  Once he gets past the disorientation of not waking in bed, of not feeling rested and realizing he'd passed out . . . he's going to look for others.  Canada, he knew, was droned, and he feared the worst for her, unable to really defend herself.  He knew Hilda was much more

[The Captain was scavenging too.

He had a broken bottle in one hand as a crude weapon. He waved at Holland when he saw him.]

[gezellighe]

Hoi.

[It was comforting to know that The Captain, at least, was a safe person to be around.]

[heartstar_blues]

[Usually, but today The Captain was powerless.]

They took my powers again. I think we're in for something bad.

[He showed the broken bottle, a pitiful weapon but it'd do for some things.]

You know I saw a movie like this once.

[gezellighe]

I lived through something like this once.

[World War II in particular. . .he hands The Captain a badly dented can of peaches.]

[heartstar_blues]

Really? That's ☠☠☠☠ terrible.

[Taking it.]

Thanks. You need any help here?

[gezellighe]

I'm all right.

[Still, it's one of the few times he looks genuinely sad, genuinely haunted, when he remembers the end of the war.[

We can last through just about anything, sometimes.

[heartstar_blues]

[Nods.

This could get worse though.]

Good luck. I am going to keep trying to find others I know, but if you run into trouble and I'm nearby I'll help how I can.

[gezellighe]

You shouldn't be reckless. You can't fly.

[Which means, thank-you and be careful.]

[heartstar_blues]

I know, I'll watch myself.

[Which means he won't and you too.]
