[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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Yeah, why not?

[She actually manages to sound cheerful, which doesn't seem to happen too often around this place. The idea of having a project, something to look forward to is more appealing than she thought when she'd made the offer itself, actually.]

I need to keep myself in shape, anyway, or else I'll get rusty. I could show you a thing or two. I've got time.

[ if only jo could see the giant grin charlie is now sporting. if only. ]

That would be so freaking sweet. You don't even know.

Hunters are supposed to help each other out when times get tough. Don't sweat it.

[That's right, Charlie. You're a hunter now.]

Just let me know when you want to work on things, okay? I can take you out for target practice sometime, maybe give you some pointers with bladework.

[ she's a hunter now. and she's trying very very hard to contain her fangirl squealing. ]

Sure! I mean. Probs when all this is over and we're not dealing with possible people possibly dying and all. But definitely.

Once this is over, we'll figure something out.

[The timing isn't exactly stellar at the moment, Charlie's right about that.]

In the meantime, I'm going to keep looking around and see if there's anyone who needs help that can't answer for themselves.

I'll hold you to that, you know. I'm very serious about my training montages.

[ yeah no, definitely not stellar. not stellar at all. ]

Oh, right, yeah. You get back to heroing and I'll make sure my roommate didn't die.

So am I.

[Though she can't be seen, you can almost hear the grin.]

Good luck -- and be safe out there.

[With that, she hangs up.]
