selphie_t | 25th Draw = EARTHQUAKE! DDD: [Voice/Action]

[Backdated to shortly after the earthquake ended.]

[Selphie had woken up earlier that day to a pleasant day and she'd prepared a list of things that she needed to get done. Laundry and cleaning up the apartment were on the top of that list before she felt a rumbling that made her blood run cold. She bolted for the nearest doorway, bracing herself for the shaking that will leave place full of broken plates, spoiled food and destroyed contents. Granted, the quake only lasts a few minutes but they're the longest of her life before she's dashing into her room. She's throwing on clean clothes and tossing some of her belongings (journal, clothes, sentimental items from her friends) into her backpack before slipping into her sneakers. Her Morning Star is attached to the bottom of the backpack.

She stares at the destruction of her home before she's making her way toward the door. She has to get out, it's not safe inside. She doesn't want to be caught inside another explosion or some type of disaster and for the love of Hyne, this is screaming Trabia to her all over again. She stares at it for a couple minutes in wide-eyed horror before closing the door behind her. Whatever's happening today cannot be good before she begins to leave the building. After that, she'll be running through the village, finding as many of her friends and acquaintances as possible.

She'll also help dig people out because she's a SeeD and that's the kind of thing that they'd do in this type of disaster. Inside, she's freaking out but she'll be doing her damned best not to let that show to anybody.]

Is everybody okay?! Check in or I'm coming -- forget it, I'm coming to find you anyway!

Squall, Irvine, Rinoa you all better be alive or I'm kicking your asses.

How about we meet at the bridge between C3 and C5?

I'm nearby, I'll see ya there!

Ok. [And he'll head to the bridge and wait for her. The river seems a little off... odd.]

[Selphie arrives at the bridge a bit after Frey but her arm gets a lovely red track up the one side from a splintered board of House 33 that's standing up in the earth. Blood drips from the wound when Selphie stops next to Frey. Looking up, she notices that the barrier that keeps them trapped in Luceti in visible. Also, odd.]

[Frey sees the cut and don't mind him, he's going to be healing that for you. his right hand glows blue and as it does, so does her arm. A tingling warmth similar to the feel of sunlight flows through it as the cut heals itself. He follows her gaze to look at the barrier.] It seems like whatever is limiting our abilities here has dissipated.

[Frey's healing magic feels drastically different from the usual from her home and she'll stare at him surprise before giving him a small smile. The warmth is quite welcome.]

I wish I had a Guardian Force to help clear some of the rubble away. Hell, I wish I had a bulldozer. [Selphie pauses. He probably doesn't know what one is.] A bulldozer is a big machine used to move lots of stuff in a hurry. It's a like a big shovel.

[Frey smiles back. He'll admit it's nice to have the rune working properly again. As for a bulldozer... He's trying.... and kind of failing to imagine it, sorry.]

A big… shovel...? It might be helpful. Too bad we don't have one. I could probably blast some of the bigger stuff apart with the dawn rune or my cyclone rune, but I'm not quite sure how safe that would be.

Or maybe a plough. [Selphie ponders that.] Is there any way to concentrate the blast to prevent any more destruction?

That could work, too.

I could try. It might take a little more time, but It's possible.

Well, the only way we're gonna know for sure is to try it, right?

Right.

Hmmmm... where can we try it?

Somewhere we know no one is buried.

That's... going to be difficult then.

Yeah.

[This is likely going to be one of those rare moments where Selphie actually uses her head.]

We should wait until after this is all over then.

Probably. I don't want to risk people.

We'll have to do what we can in other ways then.

I can help clear out the rubble!

I will, too. If anything I can use my staff to pry the larger things up.

If you could do that, I could try to pull people out.

Let's go then.

Let's do it. [Selphie's leading the way back to Community Building 3.]

[And Frey will follow her there.]
