[MINGLE] Great Shakes

[sixthiteration]

WHO: EVERYBODY
WHERE: EVERYWHERE
WHEN: 13 July (afternoon, main quake) - 14 July (morning, last aftershocks)
OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Potential injuries, PTSD, and anxiety

---

The sun is still high when the earth begins its initial, almost benign sway, but seasoned villagers know well enough that what follows will be far from gentle. Vibrations ramp up swiftly, exponentially, until within the space of a few seconds, the whole world is shaking — Dishes pinging down from shelves, young trees sifting free of the earth, shingles dislodging and tumbling like rain.

After 20 seconds, the worst is done, and after 30 the shaking has ebbed completely. Some will have escaped relatively unscathed, but others will not have been so lucky...

...and the aftershocks are still to come.

Kamala can only follow his lead. She plays it cool and talks about dogs. It helps they all have that in common. She loved spending time with Lockjaw and then Max. She enjoys spending time with whatever crazy dog is following Frank around that day now. It's comforting to think about in a way few things are right now. It's how she can keep calm and not shake around this total stranger.

"Don't let him fool you. He just has bad taste in clothing and a scary face. Aurora was smart to figure it out right away." What could that be?? That he was weak for food and tiny creatures tbh.
