[ The library is a little worse for wear now. Charles has tried his best to put everything back where it once was but from the feed it's easy to tell that it got hit by the earthquake. Shelves are cracked down the middle and books have been taken out and carefully stacked beside them, a light fixture hangs precariously from the ceiling, and the walls seem to have taken a battering as well. But everything is still standing and Charles is less concerned about the building itself than he is about the people.

He's leaning against one of the chairs when he speaks, expression and voice infused with worry. ] Hello. I'm afraid I should have spoken to you all sooner. Is everyone all right? [ There's dust caked to the collar of his cardigan and he rubs at it absentmindedly. ] Are any of you injured? Have we lost contact with anyone?

[ He's never actually encountered an earthquake before. It was rather startling and he's glad the majority of people here are adults who wouldn't panic. ] If anyone has had their housing destroyed, please get into contact with me. I'm trying to find a place where we can set up a sort of camp. There'll be food and water and if you need, medical attention. I'd appreciate it if you could check in with me. Let me know if you can't find your friends.

[ He's a little frustrated with his lack of quick response but what can you do? Charles holds back his sigh and very gravely regards the device before he ends. ] Thank you.

Do you need a doctor to preform this medical attention?

[mentis]

I was hoping someone would offer up their services, yes. [ Because he's the eternal optimist. ]

[notrosesshadow]

Consider mine offered. And the clinic is open too. Not much damage other than having to reorganize everything.

[mentis]

I'll direct people you're way if they're in need. Though from what I've gathered it's minor wounds at the best. Thank heavens for small mercies.

[notrosesshadow]

Yes. A few stitches here and there it seems. Let's hope they're all like that.

[She doesn't mention Dr. Barrett.]

[mentis]

Nobody has come to me with a limb missing, so there is that.

[notrosesshadow]

Call me if you need me.

[mentis]

I will. And thank you. You're very kind to offer yourself up like this.

[notrosesshadow]

I'm a doctor. It's what I do.

Take care.
