∞ 85: Slow recovery [written/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[written]

How is everyone doing? It appears there are no aftershocks to speak of, but the ground has worn away since the initial earthquake. The rivers have overflowed in some areas, eroding the riversides.

The Blue Rogues are organized to rescue people. I'm sure there are others who have pulled together to help out and salvage homes; let me know so their services can be listed as well.

Dr. McCoy has arranged an emergency clinic in the barracks to the south of the village, as the normal clinic has been wrecked along with the majority of the plaza. Healers and others with medical experience, please report to him.

Guy Cecil and Sir Labrador have offered controlled spaces for temporary housing. I have heard that there are undamaged community buildings; I need confirmation on which buildings can house survivors, and who will take charge of organizing those premises.

The stores in the plaza are no longer producing more items and food. I need a group that can ration supplies and organize perishable and nonperishable food; we do not know how long we will need to survive this way.

I also require a few quick scouts to travel the perimeter of the barrier and check for anything unusual. If there are holes in the barrier, we need to be aware of them as soon as possible.

Those who are participating in the emergency digging, I would like to talk to you in person. I have some notes that may assist you.

If there are any other issues that the village at large should be aware of, let me know. I will keep references as best I can.


[added later]

Community building 6 has been confirmed as stable for holding displaced residents. If someone would like to volunteer to organize the building, contact me.

Derek has suggested that someone familiar with recognizing edible plants assist with rations. If there is anyone who will lend their knowledge, we can begin supplementing the existing food supply.


[Filtered to the Malnosso | voice // unhackable]

Are any of you available? Sir Catherine? What is happening? [He somehow doesn't expect to be answered.]




[action]

[After the earthquake totaled house 42, Albert brought Raine down to the barracks so she could be kept with the injured. He will be near the barracks, tending to a dirty, skittish, but uninjured horse until he receives word from diggers.]

I can scout. [He doesn't like this much -- he's too much of a captain to really take orders well, but he'll do what needs done. Even if it's offering his services to someone he doesn't know. It's for the good of everyone here, after all.]

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Thank you. After what has happened in the past, we need to be cautious about the barrier's condition. [It's strange how it's important for the barrier, which keeps them prisoners, to remain in working order. But with the village in tatters, they can't afford to run the risk of another hybrid outbreak or "cultist" infiltration.]

I am Albert Silverberg. May I have your name?

[derek-bliss.livejournal.com]

C6 is stable and for the most part undamaged.

I'd help with the dig, but I'm already at the barracks.

...and I can hunt for meat, a6t any rate, when McCoy doesn't need me.

[chikaidestroyer]

Community building 6. Noted. Do you know if anyone is organizing space for people to camp there?

Your offer is also noted, Derek. Salvaging what food survived in refrigerators and the stores would be preferable before we start into the wildlife.

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

There's still a lot of rescue work to be done, but I'll get in contact with Sonic. He'll be our best bet at finding out if anything's wrong with the barrier quickly.

I'll dispatch him out there as soon as I find him.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

As soon as you find him? Is he accounted for, or still missing?

[Between rescuing the victims of the earthquake, saving Batman from demons, and now digging for John, it's been a busy time for Wonder Woman.]

The Justice League is doing everything it can in this situation. Feel free to inform the residents that we're here to help.

[And on the matter of that emergency digging-] I'm part of the group who's looking for John, if that's what you're referring to.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

I will make a note that the Justice League is there for assistance. Thank you.

[And a pause.] Yes, that is what I am referring to. Would you be willing to meet to discuss those plans?

[aero-dienamic.livejournal.com]

There are plenty watching my 'child'. I'll do what I can from above. I'm... too powerful at the moment. I'd only cause more problems otherwise.

[chikaidestroyer]

["Too powerful." Well, that's certainly a new one.]

If you could remain on watch for any barrier breaches, that would certainly be helpful.

[corrinesbell]

I can help with the food if you need it. Did you guys all get out okay?

[chikaidestroyer]

["Okay" is such a relative term.] The three of us are accounted for. Raine is with the injured.

[Shortly after Albert's post, Frey will wander outside of the barracks. The prince is a bit dirty, having been digging and later healing people all day since the quake hit. Upon spotting Albert, he'll walk over.] Hey.

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert glance over when he hears the greeting, giving the bedraggled prince a long look before nodding.] It's good to see you are safe, Prince.

[Buffy has also been hanging around the barracks; after all, one would be hard pressed to convince her out of helping McCoy in some capacity, even if she is hardly a healer.

When she finds out that Albert is nearby, she'll go looking for him. Buffy is wearing her best I'd like to volunteer face.]

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert has taken a seat on a fallen tree not too far from the barracks, still pretty much hanging out with his horse. He has his head down as he looks through his journal at others' entries, though there haven't really been that many after the earthquake.]

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

[She may be struggling with the reading a bit but still.]

It's good to hear from you, Albert.

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[There's a wry sigh; you can practically hear the relieved half-smirk in his voice.]

Nephry. You are uninjured?

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

Gelda and I have room in House 27 if there is anyone who needs a place to stay until the buildings are repaired.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

So noted. Thank you for letting me know, Sir Bryant.

Would you happen to know anyone who would also volunteer their help with housing residents?

[cladinthedark.livejournal.com]

I'm in the midst of assisting with rescue efforts at building two, but the going is quite slow.

[chikaidestroyer]

Building two. I haven't been over in that part of the village; how did the area around the river fare?

[one-green-eye.livejournal.com]

I have some fairly extensive knowledge of the edible plants in this place, actually. [his mild way of saying "it's all there has been to do here, since I showed up"]

I know it'll be advisable to identify the poisonous plants, at the least-- as some mistakes are too easy to make.

[pause] When you say "existing" --you don't anticipate it being replenished again?

[chikaidestroyer]

[Ah. Ginko. ...He's been meaning to talk to the mushishi ever since that mushi incident, but talking about that had left him with an uneasy feeling for a long time.]

I am sure the others will appreciate your assistance with that.

Caesar and I noticed that the grocery was not replenishing itself. [And he pauses as well.] Do you recall that "history" of Luceti I shared a few months ago? September of the first cycle year, when the sky went dark red. The food supply did not replenish at that time, either.

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

I will be able to help gather edible plants and in fact grow them instantly on the spot.

And it's 'Bishop' actually rather than 'Sir'.

[chikaidestroyer]

My apologies then, Bishop. I will keep that in mind for the future.

That skill will certainly be useful. Have you been able to do that even with the barrier at its normal strength?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I've been digging where I can, but there's way too much... [And earthquakes are goddamn scary, okay.]

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

It's overwhelming for everyone. [Well, almost everyone. There's so many types in Luceti.] How are you doing out there, Simon? You weren't hurt?

[Off Journal]

[blackenedchaos.livejournal.com]

[And yes, Yuber is actually relieved Albert is fine.]

Not going to ask me to check out the barrier?

[Yeah, if you are going to be sending humans where he's been staying, he's wanting out even if the desert won't be a pleasant spot for him while still somewhat human.]

[Off Journal]

[chikaidestroyer]

[Albert would be surprised if Yuber was hurt in the disaster.]

Under the circumstances, no. I would like you to keep an eye out for summoned monsters and their summoner.

[Frey's report has him wondering who would be releasing monsters at a time like this.]

[oracleofdeath.livejournal.com]

Where is help needed the most at this time? I can heal, teleport, use magic to dig people out, guard food, whatever is needed.

Also, building 5 appeared to be fine, it could also be used to house the homeless.

[Written]

[chikaidestroyer]

It would be useful if one of the intact community buildings could be supervised so refugees are not using inhabited apartments.

[Voice] - should've replied to this sooner! ._.''

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Community House 3 is toast and I'm helping to clear the rubble so people can look for survivors.

[Voice] no worries XD

[chikaidestroyer]

Community building 3, west of the river? No deceased?

[Usagi has been flitting about the village trying to be everywhere and help everyone. She's hardly paid even a glance to her journal, save for the rare breaks she takes. When she exits the barracks and spots Albert, she'd seen him earlier but she was far too busy to stop for a chat, she heads over to check up on him. And Astrid, too, of course.]

Everything all right, Albert? [she knows it isn't, unless you discount the earthquake, the injured, Raine, and everything else.]

[Action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Usagi. [The sight of the girl, who has been working so hard because of the draft and the earthquake, causes him to relax just a bit.] I'm fine. How is it looking in there? [He faintly gestures to the barracks with his chin.]

[Voice]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

I would be willing to lend my assistance with organizing the rations, as would the chef of my crew. We will be able to make the food last as long as possible.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

[The skeleton and the chef from Luffy's crew. Hmm.] Will the two of you take charge of that task, then?

[justicereigns]

If you mean digging out John, I'm not. If you mean digging out anyone else; that I'm doing.

[chikaidestroyer]

A fair amount of volunteers for both tasks. Priority goes to finding out if anyone was killed. [Considering there was no telling if the Organization was able to retrieve people from outside the barrier right now.] Have you seen any casualties?

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

[A little frayed, but like she'll admit it. Everyone's working overtime to help sort out the village.]

I can be a scout. My magic allows me to move over long distances, so it won't take me much time at all. I can go right now.

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Very well. There are enough volunteers that you won't have to repeat your search once you are finished. Everyone should conserve what energy they can.

[Voice]

[13th_captain]

What notes are these?

[Voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

Old notes I took a year ago. They may assist in digging. [Or enlighten those who don't notice the pattern in the village's destruction.]
