[ 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.

[Someone looks a lot better. Barely any bruises and she doesn't look nearly as disheveled. There's deeper wounds that are still in trouble, but she's fine, thanks.]

How well did the library survive?

I think most made it out with minor wounds, at most serious. But I've not talked to everyone.

[Fortescue offers Charles a smile, if a tired one. She's been repairing her house a bit more.]

I haven't seen anything that's not fixable, although one of the shelves in the library did fall over.

[Onto Ned, but he won't mention that bit.]

I tried to put it back where it was meant to go.

[notrosesshadow]

Do you need a doctor to preform this medical attention?

If you come across someone injured, give me a shout. I'll make sure they receive medical attention.

[ He might just transport them to Martha but still. ]

[ The house isn't destroyed. He's not sure how Riley, Daneel or Ned faired, but Clint isn't doing too well. Being in the attic puts him at an advantage if something was to approach, but it also puts him in a vulnerable position. A branch on a tree next to the window gives and comes through it. Hard and fast. The glass shatters as an alert, but Clint doesn't have time to move. Too busy cleaning his bow which has skid across the floor away from him.

He's stuck. Pinned. Hurt. Whatever. His communicator crackles and brings him around. He blinks and tries to focus on the sound of the voice. It's a distinct voice. The branch? Well, the branch has made a home lodged in his thigh. He's stuck to the floor on his stomach which is just about the worst thing he can imagine. ] Chuck, I don't mean to alarm you, but I could use a hand. Hell I could use two.

( note: late tag in, but i had tests and quizzes. i figured chuck would be nice enough to return the favor after the sea monster incident. )
