07/13: INN + SURROUNDINGS

    [ Closed to Kamala ]

    Jess avoids the well-trodden paths throughout the day so by all rights, she should be well out of danger in the event of an afternoon earthquake. She's on an emergency supply run to the Inn for tissues, of all things, since her nose is now stuffed when it isn't runny. A pretty stupid item to get crushed to death over but thankfully her bubble has her back, and her head and all the rest of her weak, common cold-susceptible Average Jane junkheap of a body. She didn't reach her destination, almost safe out on the street as the quake's intensity peaked; it's many minutes after, having run into Kamala and sort-of not-really paired off (they're just walking the same way, at the same time), that an aftershock gently dislodges a loose sheet of shingles to come sloughing against her shield.

    And ricocheting right at a helpless teenager. No matter what power she's stuck with, she'll make the bullshittiest use of, apparently. She reaches out in alarm but keeps her feet planted, her shield still up, as far as she knows. Like the tent she commandeered her first week here, putting it up is fairly intuitive, but taking it down? Living nightmare.


OTHER


    Wildcard option. Jess's sleep schedule is all over the place but she's more active at night than most other times of day, when she likes to wander or watch the 6I streets -- when too many people have the same idea, she hops the pond and skulks around 7I with even less direction. Before sundown, she's reading about the setting at idk wherever that happens will edit that. She hits up the 6I Inn every couple of days for booze, crossing peoples' paths like a black cat.

    [ ooc | Will match tag style if you prefer brackets! My plot post is here if you'd like to discuss first, and here is Jess's bio and application with her CRAU history. Will be using this post for all of July, editing only to add new starters or update Jess's circumstances for the wildcard option. ]

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.
