[ There’s the heavy pitter-patter of the storm filling the quiet as soon as the N.O.C. is clicked on; it’s loud enough to hint that someone’s outside, but still under something, somewhere, out of the rain now. The noise, like static, stretches on for a moment as the only sound before - ]

You're serious? [And there's a little motivation to get to moving. Already, there's a rustle of movement.] What a mess...

[_devil_inside]

Dead serious, kid. Buncha folks got hurt, even dead. Rubble's still everywhere.
