She had been down at the baseball diamond, anxiously waiting for her father or mother, or somebody showing up. She didn't trust her NV since its shenanigans on Friday, though she had recently gotten it to work. She had stepped out for a light dinner, calling her neighbor to check on the little boy watching Mr. Muggles for her while she was out.

The blasts shocked her, as well as the other guests in the restaurant. By the time she had made her way back to the apartments, it was packed, and there was definitely a huge chunk missing in one of the towers. It didn't take long for her to make her way into the apartments, asking anybody she saw what had happened.

[showbizpanache]

"Claire!"

He knew she was there somewhere, she had to be--and regardless of whether she was immortal or not, he didn't want her caught up in all this. As he moved through the crowd helping and healing where he could, he kept an eye out for her, occasionally calling out her name.

[regeneratesalot]

She ran out of the apartment lobby, her eyes scanning for whoever said her name. Her heart thumping, she thought almost irrationally that it was somebody from home - Noah, Sandra, Lyle, Alex, West, Zach - but when she sees Kurt, she pushes that thought out of her head immediately. He doesn't seem hurt - thank God - but she rushes over to him regardless. Her clothing is bloodied (she doesn't know if its hers or not) and torn a little, her hair sticking to her sweaty face.

"You okay?" She sounded out of breath, but there was concern on her face.

[showbizpanache]

"Yes-- Are you?" She didn't seem hurt, and he had to remind himself that she could heal. Regardless, he didn't want her around a place where horrible things were happening left and right--and even if she could heal, that didn't mean it was admissible to let her get hurt. "Let's get out of here, okay? All this smoke can't be good for our complexions."

[At the House's level of complexity, machine attention became a funny thing. There were many levels and priorities of it, all subject to examination. Michael Xavier had become one of the higher priority people in the city, and his text was flagged and kicked up into higher levels of focus. The House filtered through a kerfuffle of other stunned reactions on the Network while releasing a swarm of its small, light, glimmering butterflies.]

[You might see one, flitting in the air above the towers, or crawling into a small opening under the wreckage. But whether you see them or not, the sheer photosensitive films of their wings see you.]

[She was on the other side of the city but her sensors picked up the explosion and magnitude. A silent command and the android could already see her mono-bike in the distance and as soon as it stops next to her, she climbs on and races towards the Tower Apartments. Scans through the remaining tower and the gutted remains of the other revealed life signs. Some people were okay, others not so much.

KOS-MOS placed a priority on the ones most in need of assistance, of course.]

[Congratulations, you've been pocket-dialed: With this bit of feed here.]

OPEN; various times?

[mediarahan]

[ yuakri was on her way back to her apartment-quite literally in the hallway, standing in front of the door that would lead to her little corner of the port-when the first explosion hit. she was shaken but just out of danger, watching in horror as events unfolded. it's a surreal turn of events; yukari almost can't process it, but she knows better than to just stand there and be a spectator.

she has the ability to help those who may be injured, so she has to do something. after dropping off the bags she'd been carrying from her errand, yukari nabs the more important things (her evoker, strapped into the holster on her thigh, her quiver of arrows and her bow-it's getting a little late, and it's better safe than sorry in this place) and heads over to the second tower to help out. ]

( ooc | feel free to have your character run into yukari either after sirens or a few minutes after the blast, if you'd to have your character quickly mended! she has wind and healing spells, so have at! \o/ )

well after sirens; don't mind me just dropping in

[uaasfinest]

[ For some reason Yukari is kind of high up into the second tower. Maybe it was someone screaming that brought her out? Well whatever the reason it sucks up on this floor. Pretty high up too, but not like the very top floor. Seriously who would actually want to live that high up when the elevators don't work? (coughtraviscough)

Well regardless the darkness is rotting away at the place. Suddenly from nigh up above the ceiling gives in and a man comes down with it, plaster and all. Unfortunately he also tumbles and rolls into Yukari's legs on his way to a solid stop. Sorry Yuka-tan. ]

oh my god.

[mediarahan]

[ she's been working on getting people out of the building as quickly as she could, secure in the knowledge that she'd definitely be able to get herself out when things got bad (ahaha, sure okay). either way, she's carefully made her way up into the higher areas of the tower to make sure that everyone's out, and it's actually when she's on her way back down-because lord knows she only wants to be on this floor for two minutes, tops&mdahs;that travis drops in on her.

literally.

taking a hard tumble backwards, yukari quickly yanks her skirt down to cover the important parts before turning her attention to travis, growling angrily. ]

What the h-?!

[ cutting herself off and trying her best not to flush angrily, yukari steps around travis's crumpled form so that she's at his back and nudges him with her foot. ]

Hey you, get up!

[uaasfinest]

[ Sorry Yuka-tan, but as much as you want some lecherous dude who's into magical girls staring up your skirt now's just not the time! Standards must be maintained of course as Yukari nudges the back of Travis with her foot suddenly the dude just springs to life quite literally with a capoeira-inspired spin kick, propelling him off his back and onto his feet again.

Also almost slamming into Yukari in the process.

>Travis
>Tact

Pick one, Yukari.

Travis is staring up the hole, back turned to her. ]

You little dipshit! When I get back up there I'm gonna kick your ass!

[ Cue indignant pointing into the huge hole above... ]

[axemeaquestion]

[Holy SHIT.

There were too many people she knew in that building for Rochelle to just sit around. She didn't even think about the fact that the Darkness was going to come in. She grabbed her weapons. With an axe strapped to her back, a pistol strapped to the holster on her hip, and an AK-47 in her hand, she was off.

When she got there, she only stopped once for an awestruck "holy shit" moment. But she gathered herself, no fear, and went for it. With her presence-sensing abilities, scouring the apartments for survivors and people to help wouldn't be hard.]

long after the sirens

[uaasfinest]

Okay, seriously? You fuckers are annoying! Piss off!

[ Further down one of the halls there are brilliant light purple flashes that whisk through the darkness real quick. And by darkness, darkness monsters. ]

Yeah! That's more like it!

[ Suddenly a man scuttles backwards really fast right beside Rochelle. ]

Bring it on fuckheads! It's time to kick some ass!

[ Wow someone's getting loud and obnoxious ]

[axemeaquestion]

[OH.

HELLO.

After this point Rochelle's gotten a handful of people hauled out. She's pretty dirty and a little scratched up now from climbing, plus the unavoidable confrontations with Darkness monsters, but despite her appearance she didn't seem at all encumbered by it. Her presence sensing abilties brought her attention to this dude and--]

What the hell--

[Well, holy lightsabers, Batface.

Rochelle doesn't waste any time and shoots at the Darkness creatures her mind has already pinged herself too. She doesn't need superpowers to be aware of the dude next to her, but half a second's glance at him and her AK-47 is off to give this dude a hand.]

Two more of those things coming on your left!

[uaasfinest]

Right!

[ Well hello, someone human. More importantly someone who doesn't want to shred Travis' face off like these things. Travis is already on the move; she shouted the moment he could hear them shuffle closer and in a blink of an eye he's already beside them, swinging his beam katana-lightsaber wanna be weapon and cleaving the left-most monster along the waist. ]

Show's over, fuckface!

[ Suddenly it gets ridiculous. Travis' arms are a flurry of lighted motion as his katana sings its "vummms" resonating in the air, hacking the monster and its closest buddy for a long few seconds. Travis stops and hops away--the monsters literally crumble into monster-pulp. ]
