Lavi, I’m afraid they’re changing the city… Power has certainly been taken by the seven once-visitors.

Of course, this is all speculation. I don’t have any actual proof…

[Lavi listens to the next part silently. He looks a bit thoughtful.] That sounds pretty plausible. And... heh. No, you're right. Probably can't be good. But that's pretty standard here.
Well, speculation or not, it's good to at least consider the possibilities. Being blind sided kind of sucks.

Being prepared is never a bad thing. I assume there are books about earthquakes in the library, or at least ones about being able to survive them... That might be the place to start.

So how're you feeling? It's good to see you up and about like a real life alive person.

[He leads the way to the back room he's claimed as a kind of study area, nodding for Lavi to set the books down and take a seat.] Thorough is good. I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who claims to have "Bookman" as a title. [Vash must be feeling better, he's trying to make bad jokes again.]

Heh. I try to live up to the affiliation every now and then. But this is what I could find on seismology. A bit on paleoseismology, little bit on vulcanism and geology just for good measure.

[He settles into a comfortable armchair and begins to rifle through the books. Lavi has done a thorough job; more than thorough, one could even say "obsessive". But that had been what Vash was counting on.]

Hell, if things are being shaken up in this place, it may not even be anything at all natural.
