Like canaries in a coal mine [OPEN]
Characters: Anyone in Tulgim
Content: One of the mines in Tulgim has collapsed a second time, trapping some of the rescuers inside!
Setting: Mine 2b
Time: From late morning onwards
Warnings: Possibility of bloody or violent descriptions
Notes: Please note in the thread subject whether your threads take place either pre- or post- the second collapse.
The entrance to Mine 2b, only a mile from the closest edge to the docks, was currently a chaotic place. Tools of all types, lanterns and picks and even some discarded metal hard hats, had been left scattered around the entrance of the mine in the miner's haste to escape. There were some mining carts left on the tracks leading into the mine as well; only one of them was full of metal ore, left abandoned thanks to the emergency.
Crowds had formed nearby, of both concerned citizens and knots of miners that had been reduced to shouting at each other. Rumors were flying about the cause of the cave-in - some claimed it was sabotage, others that it was only an accident, and some were saying they swore they had heard an explosion before the rocks fell. Whatever the cause, it was turning the already uneasy townsfolk even more tense than they had been before.
