[ 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.

YEP. just a tree branch through the window. i think their house was damage free relatively.
[ He has to focus on his breath because there's a good chance he could just pass out or something. ] Sorta. Parts sucked, but when I got older I appreciated how they did things a lot more. Lot of moving around.
okay cool <3
My sister Raven always told me she wanted to run away and join the circus. I never let her though. Did you have a specialty?
[ He's moving, up to the driveway of the house. ]

If there's one thing that he can count on Charles for it's to talk him through a rough situation. He was the one that kept him talking while Jesse and Ned came to find him in the woods. ] Yeah. Acrobatics for a while. After that I was good at trick shots. It's how I got my current job. That and my training.
no subject
Trick shots? Oh, you work with a bow and arrow, don't you? A commendable sport. I've never learnt the hang of it mind. [ Private school do physical education a little differently. ]
Is there a back way into the house, Clint?
no subject
He flinches as Charles asks for a back way. There's a back door, but he doesn't know it's status. Ned and Daneel handle all the grown up crap in this house. That includes locking the doors at night like that's gonna hold off the crazy scientists. ] Back door. Dunno it's status. Drop your shoulder and throw your body into the door if you gotta. Breaking a door down is the least of my worries. Bust a window if you're brave. Don't tell Ned. He'll chase you down the path with a vacuum.

[ For a moment he's merely a flustered British professor, all prim and proper and decorum. Then he's moving, taking a step back towards the path. There a wall has come down and he's bending to pick up a brick as he talks. ]
Yes, he does seem like he likes a tidy house. River and Erik are always chasing me to clean up but I like the organised chaos. [ He's moving back to the door, using the brick to smash his way through the window. The view gets obscured for a moment, Charles pulling his cardigan over his hand to shove it into the glass and reach for the handle. ] You said the attic, yes?
no subject
It's good to know that Charles likes a little chaos though. They had more in common than he thought even if Chuck was a little less into destruction. He hasn't panicked much. ] Yeah. Attic. Proud of your thriftiness, man. You get two drinks now.
no subject
[ He's taking the stairs two at a time, his breathing just that little bit laboured. For all his training back home he has let it go a little within the town. He's regretting it now though. ] How do you get inside? Is there a ladder?
no subject
He shuts his eyes tightly as he tries to block out a shooting pain that's currently overtaking his brain. ] End of the hallway. Door to the right. Stairs take you up. Try not to bump your head at the top, man.
no subject
[ But he moves to the second set of stairs and takes them with equal haste, pushing his way within the the attic. At first it's disconcerting, the dust and the debris, but then he spots him. It looks nasty, that much is immediate. There's blood and Charles tries not to think much about that. ] Ah. All right. This is easily fixed.
[ It might not be, but he's a positive man. ]
