hi, guess what failmod slept in

[lucetimods]

Who: Everyone!
What: Earthquake
When: The morning of the quake and beyond
Where: ...Everywhere?
Summary: It was requested that a general reactionary log be tossed up when the quake happens so people can react in their own way without having a zillion posts. Individual posts are obviously still fine, but this might help people out.

[Throughout the village, Sonic is quickly trying to dart around, looking for people in danger or even rubble to clear. He may not be super strong, but his speed and quills make digging through hard chunks of rock a breeze.]

[ everyone knows what sort of shape the clinic is in. shuri was unlucky enough not to escape the falling rubble. that room he was in completely caved in, leaving him trapped under a whole mess of heavy, sharp debris.

but don't worry, folks. notakor has got this covered.]

[notakor]

[DAMMIT SHURI AND HE WAS JUST COMING OVER TO BRING YOU SOME YAKISOBA. Stupid wounded blonds :|

Having visited before to bring some cards, he knows where Shuri was in the clinic, so Mikage abandons the food and goes to work digging through the rubble, using whatever strength he has and his zaiphon to try to open up a path.]

Oi, Shuri! Are you in there!?

[acowardlyoak]

[ This is what he gets when he tries to be like Konatsu. He's awake under that rubble. Well, mostly. He hit his head pretty hard and everything seems fuzzier and fuzzier around the edges, but he's at least coherent enough to shout out a response. ]

Here[ followed by some coughing. that's not good coughing. ]

[notakor]

[Oh that doesn't sound good. Mikage picks up the pace, following the sound of his voice. The guy could be a jerk, but he didn't deserve to die, and not like this.]

Just try to keep breathing, okay? I'll try to get to you!

[At the first light shake, Kratos didn't worry. When it grew dangerously fiercer and the walls began to groan and rumble, he knew that this was much more than some small quake.

It took him a few more seconds than he would've liked, considering the ground was shaking and Kratos found it difficult to keep his balance, but soon enough, he found Presea's room and carried her outside. The girl was still fatigued from the war against the third party, but she was wide awake by the time Kratos set her down on the ground.

He looked back at the shaking and roaring house, knowing that it was on the verge of collapsing... And yet he knew that he left behind some things that he couldn't allow to be destroyed.

For once, reason and logic lost. Kratos rushed back inside.]

[Presea had been resting in bed when she felt the rumbling. Before it even got to the point of escalating, she was already wide awake and out of bed, only to see Kratos storm into her room, scoop her up, and rush her outside. She was silent throughout the whole ordeal, just a little confused as to what was happening.

Of course, she realized it was an earthquake once they were outside, and she saw the house beginning to cave in. Presea blinks, and before Kratos can get too far, her hand shoots up and grasps his wrist tightly. She looked down at it, staring, as if the appendage had just betrayed her or something.]

[Kratos was just as surprised as Presea, and he looked back at first his wrist caught in Presea's hand, then at the girl herself. He didn't have time to ponder over this, didn't have time to deal with her sudden bout of emotion.]

Stay where you are.

[And with a sudden burst of angelic strength, Kratos jerked his hand out of Presea's grip, and then ran inside once more. With those precious few seconds of delay, Kratos felt a panic seize him. Not for his life, but for the possessions he left. He couldn't let them go down with the house. He couldn't.]

[not_klonoa]

[Stay where you are. It wasn't a request. It was an order. And Kratos was someone she trusted enough to follow orders without question. So, then why? Why was her body betraying her? One foot seemed to jerk out randomly as Kratos sprinted back into the crumbling house.

Presea was fighting an internal battle, one she didn't understand. The order was simple - don't move, pretty much - but she couldn't let him rush to his inevitable death. ...Why? Presea couldn't find an answer to that. Not one that made sense at least.

About to take another jerky step forward against her better judgment, Presea blinks and freezes. She stares dead ahead at...something. It was a corpse, rotting, decaying, wearing her father's clothes. The scream only rips through her mind and Presea buckles, one single word forcing itself out from her lips.]

Daddy!

[And after that, Presea blinks in confusion, and remains rooted to the spot where she was, face void as she discards that moment in time completely from memory.]

[Immediately after the earthquake, Terra departs her house. She returns to grab her journal after a moment, leaving a quick message begging people she knows to check in and let her know if they're alright or if they need help. Then, she leaves a message for Shadow. As Secret-Keeper, he'll need to be available. Once that's done, she keeps going.

And...Terra will be all around town. Her main priority is heading to Community Building 1, but she will stop to assist any immediate need along the way, either with healing or lifting or the like. Even afterward, she will continue to make her way around town and help or heal anyone who needs it. At some point, Terra's likely to drop from exhaustion, but the young woman has a lot of stamina for someone of her build and size, and will keep trying to help those in need as long as possible.]

[shrouded_reaper]

[It's probably a good thing in Shadow's case that he gets so restless and spends these nice summer nights outside. Especially lately- all of the issues on the draft have stirred his subconscious to a crazy extent and it seems like he has fewer dreams outside. He'd managed to be out in the woods at the time the quake struck, shaken abruptly awake when it hit.]

[Now he's wandering into town and keeping an eye out for familiar faces...]

[esper_flight]

[Terra nearly runs into Shadow. She's on her way to Adell's at top speed, but the devastation all around town was a distracting sight....]

[shrouded_reaper]

[ABRUPT HALT. :| Shadow barely avoids a collision.] Terra!

[Rydia is currently staying at that cave in the mountains with Kain -taking time away from everyone else to help him and deal with her own grief- but that doesn't prevent her from warping over to the house soon after the quake. If Kain comes with her, that's fine, but she's not going to push him.

Upon reaching the second floor, she immediately begins calling out for everyone.]

Edward! Ceodore!

[Oh, and...she opens her journal and semi-yells into it.]

Golbez! Are you alright? Respond to me!

[Voice]

[cladinthedark]

[Golbez's voice is as calm and reasoned as ever, almost impossibly so.]

I've escaped. The community building I was in collapsed, but I am personally undamaged.

[Voice]

[eidolon_soul]

[A sigh of relief.]

I'm glad to hear it. Are there a lot of people trapped within? I can head over there and help out.

[Voice]

[cladinthedark]

I'm uncertain as to the numbers, but I have to assume there are several. Your assistance, as well as that of anyone else who is willing, would be invaluable, but be careful. The footing around here is treacherous now and I have no idea if there are going to be aftershocks.
