Not exactly the best day ever

WHO: Sam Wilson

WARNINGS: Language--probably
STATUS: Open



The earthquakes had been building for some time, though Sam hadn't noticed them until the bigger ones had hit. He hadn't been overly concerned, since in the grand scheme of things they weren't too bad. He hadn't noticed any major damage and no injuries were sustained. So far it had just been another inconvenience to deal with on top of everything else.

It's because of this that, when Sam is briefly at home taking a much needed break, he doesn't get concerned when the shaking begins. However, as the shaking increases, Sam realizes this isn't the same magnitude as before. Sam acts fast as the shaking gets worse, rolling out of bed and heading for the doorway. That's supposed to be the safest place, right?

The shaking grows stronger and Sam braces himself, doing his best to protect against any debris, though so far his house is still standing. He thinks he heard something loud crack, but he can't check on it now. Not until it's over. There's the sound of shattering glass in a distant room and he thinks he hears something blow.

Thankfully, it isn't long. The shaking gets weaker and, slowly, comes to an end. Sam coughs as the dust from the ceiling and the rest of the room gets in his face and sinuses. He wipes his face and steps forward. It doesn't take much observation to show Sam that his house isn't in the best shape. He sees cracks in the wall now and, as he walks out into his living room he groans.

"That's not getting fixed any time soon," he says when he sees the tree branch that had crashed through his front window. There was glass everywhere and, because he'd taken his shoes off, he was going to have to be careful getting across the floor. He takes a careful step and winces when, as he steps down, he feels water starting to seep through the floor and into the carpet. His socks are now soaked, on top of everything else. "Son of a--are you kidding me right now?"

Sam makes his way to his front porch, the door falling off as he tries to open it. He sighs as he drops onto the front steps. So, he's got a cracked wall, broken window (possibly multiple windows if he checks the other rooms and walls for that matter), and a busted pipe somewhere that is now flooding his house. Oh, and his socks are wet and his door fell off its hinges. He's not sure why he's upset about this, it's not like he even spent that much time on the house. Maybe it's what it represents, another damn thing to fall apart around here.

"I hate this damn place," he grumbles, not sure what he wants to do now -- except maybe just sit for a bit. He'd hit a new low and he knew it. He also knew he couldn't afford to be in a funk right now, but you know what they say about misery.

"Ahh!" He made a noise looking back with an understanding. "Police, like royal thengs! Hold the laws, I recall yes." But not from home, but from the other world he had been pulled to. A world with a lovely device that translated everything for him. No effort back when he was a young warrior pulled into a strange place, now that he was older and calmer and learned the suffering of people, now he had to work harder to understand what these worlds want from him. "I see, it will be good for Berg, cant escape." He spoke, shifting from his knees to sit on the ground.

"We could check the smithy, maybe hammer there. I have nails... Got a box not long ago." He had told no one, only Jo knew what came in his box, the belt around his middle over his tunic and the reason his stubble was less then it had been. His box had been helpful but he kept quiet for the most part over it. "Raising barn will take many's help, this building works best though, all could be brought and warm in winter." He admitted.

Looking back to Berg he held his scarred hands out making a softer whistle, he nodded. "If door to outside closed, open bars and let him out for now." So he couldn't escape outside, he kept his arms out as if a peaceful means of showing the animal he means no harm. "I will keep an eye out for hay while I am out hunting. I will bring for you."
