[Action, for Ellen:]

[Jo is in the back when the earthquake hits, suddenly and without any warning, having been making an effort to tidy up what serves as the Harvelles' living space. Things begin to rocket off the shelves before she can run for cover, and she has a few narrow misses as she scrambles for the doorway, bracing her hands against either side and cringing as she hears things crash to the ground behind her. She tenses when she hears glass break in the direction of the still, her chest growing tight.]

Mom?! Are you okay?!

[If there's an answer, she can't hear it over the rumbling or the racket caused by things falling apart around them, but all the hard work they've put into the bar seems to have paid off, because the structure is secure enough that it's still standing (as far as she can tell) when the quaking dies down. As soon as things seem stable enough, she pushes off from the door frame and runs in the direction of the still, skidding around some debris on the way.]

Mom?!

[Private Audio to Raphael:]

Raphael? If you can hear this... I might need your help. Mom's been injured. I can't tell how bad it is, there's a lot of blood, but I'm pretty sure the first aid supplies I have aren't gonna cut it. I'm sorry to ask, but -- you've helped us before. Mom trusts you.

[Given a certain value of trust.]

[Audio:]

Is everyone out there okay? If you're in need of first-aid or trapped somewhere, let the network know as soon as you can, someone will come find you.

[She intends to be one of those someones.]

Anyone who isn't hurt and can move around easily, we should all fan out and make sure nobody's stuck or injured so badly they can't get someone's attention.

Fold a cloth into a tight package or a ball, place it on the underside of her arm, continue holding with the towel. Glass is easy to remove, just don't move her arm much.

[ He's certain if it was life threatening Jo would say so. ]

Don't fuss with the glass, just be calm. There's a doctor making her rounds - I'll send her over, I need to sweep through the town, make sure no one is dying. I'll check on your mother as soon as that's done.

[ Triage. ]

Thanks. I appreciate it.

[Sending a doctor their way is just as good as him coming himself in this situation, seeing as it's not life or death. Usually, Jo is no slouch when it comes to patching people up, but she doesn't have the extensive supplies she would have had back home. It makes a huge difference.]

I'm hoping we managed to avoid any really serious injuries through all this, but somehow, I don't think we'll be that lucky.

You're welcome.

[ He's not going to fix every little thing, but he'll drop by later to check on Ellen. And check on Jo - he thinks she might be a little shook up. ]

So far I haven't seen many injuries, and nothing I'd label 'serious'.

That's good. Definitely better than I expected.

[Her initial instinct had been that it was impossible for everyone to escape this mostly unscathed.]

Small miracles, I guess.

Far better than it could have been.

[ He was, for once, pleasantly surprised. ]

You could say that, I suppose.

I should let you get back to your rounds, but -- thank you for answering. I appreciate it. You've done a lot for us already, and we haven't even been here that long.

You're welcome Jo. I haven't been here much longer than your mother really.

I'll be by to check on you both after I'm finished with the town.

Thank you. Good luck out there.

Same to you.
