Power Control - Hard Decisions

by **Graham Jaeger** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 10:04 pm

Graham looked for higher ground to scout from. Fire meant gas right?

by **Vertie Easley** » Fri Dec 19, 2014 10:14 pm

Vertie focused on the rodents and asked them for help, some to find the gas, some to help free those trapped and the rest to keep an eye out for trapped humans in the rubble.

"Need a lift, cutie?" she thought at Graham, herself still floating about 20 feet off the ground.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:26 am

Elise was still trying to get her bearings back on the ground. After a few minutes, she took a deep breath. Fucking hate planes... She thought to herself, rubbing her temples. At that moment in time, Frankie and Wiggles finally manifested. "Frankie, you're small enough, do you think you could go sneak around smaller places and see if you can find anything we need to deal with?" Do I look like a dog? El rolled her eyes. "Please?" My god, you have manners. When did this happen? Frankie 'said' as he skittered away.
What can I do? Can I do anything? I can help! Let me help! Elise chuckled and knelt down, scratching Wiggles' head. "You stick with me. I'm gonna fly with Haley. You remember her, don't you?" OHMYGOSHSHESMYFAVORITESHESTHEBEST! With that, Elise reached out and picked Wiggles up, stretching out her wings and flying over beside Haley.

Mizuki took a look around the area at the collapsed buildings. "Wow this sucks." Glancing over at Alex, she smirked. "I wonder if there will be a chance to throw you again. That was fun."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:35 am

Alex was absorbing an I-beam, trying to approach true Colossus levels in size. "Should have just tossed me off the plane. Missed your chance," he joked.

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:16 am

"Pft, the day is still young!" She says with a grin, looking back around the area. "Structures that are still standing are going to be really weak. It's too bad we don't have any spray paint or anything. Would make marking buildings pretty easy as to whether they're safe or unsafe to enter. That's what they usually do in these kinds of disasters. Hm..." She thought out loud, looking around at the rocks. "If no one has a pen or paint or anything, we can stack rocks for that."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:31 am

"Are we really good to judge that, though? I mean... I'm not a structural engineer, I don't know about you," Alex asked uncertainly.

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:46 am

"We aren't really good at all to judge it, no. But...we also don't have a structural engineer here. I guess figuratively speaking, if one would be absent, the best thing to do would be to use common sense. Obviously houses closer to the epicenter of the blast will be the most dangerous and shouldn't be entered unless absolutely necessary. Getting a rough idea of the shape of things and how far out the blast really leveled houses may help us find out places that need avoided. Just for starters, at least. Like a damage survey." She says with a shrug.

"We also need to find that live gas line," Miranda chimed in. "That should probably be our first priority."

"Lift away," he answered.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 11:11 am

Haley held out her hand towards Graham and he slowly began to float upwards to join her.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 2:24 pm

Jennifer is staring daggers at Haley and Graham as they walk through the street. She makes a token effort to check for any thoughts that might indicate people still being trapped in the rubble but most of her effort is focused on hating on Haley for being cutesy with Graham.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 8:01 pm

Jennifer and Vertie's efforts would confirm that yes, the evacuation had been as complete as they had been told. There were no people trapped in the area, they really did only have to deal with the gas leak and other impending disasters.

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sat Dec 20, 2014 9:43 pm

Graham was oblivious to any eye daggers as he continued to scan the area.

So I'm cute huh?

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 2:20 am

"Ugh!" Jennifer runs her hands through her hair in frustration, throwing it out of her face. "If anybody needs me for anything I'll be over here."

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 10:09 am

"Yeah, you are," she smirked, speaking normally now that they were together about 40 feet up in the air now.

"Can you tell where we need to go first?"

by **Graham Jaeger** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 10:56 am

Graham looked towards the fires.

"Well I'm better with forests, but I'm thinking the pattern of the fire puts the gas fueling it... there, on the western end," he said, pointing.

by **Haley Crusek** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 11:45 am

"Hey guys, we think the gas might be coming in out to the west, so maybe we head that way to try and stop it. We could fix things along the way as they come up, probably," she mindspoke to the entire area.

by **Elise Holdrust** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 12:06 pm

Elise stuck by Haley. "So once we find it, how do we turn it off? Is there a switch or something?" She asked curiously.

by **Mizuki Hino** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 12:07 pm

Mizuki squinted, looking up at the sun past the smoke, then got a rough feel for where West was, and started to head that way.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 3:31 pm

Brigid spares a glance to Haley and Graham before heading after Jen.

"Seriously?" She asks.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 4:01 pm

"There's no one else left here and I'll be damned if I'll risk listening to anymore shit coming from Haley's brain." she grumbles.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 4:07 pm

"Not what I meant."

"I guess he's cute."

"I dunno. We'll have to look once we get there I guess. Maybe I could sorta smash shut the end, or maybe there are shutoff valves somewhere."

She looked back and forth between El and Graham, "El, do you think you could sort of pull us? I have a hard time kinda...keeping forward motion going when I'm not on the ground and just focusing on keeping us up...but if you kinda towed us, it might help get there faster than staying on the ground."

Brigid Plunder wrote:"Not what I meant."

"I guess he's cute."

"So what if he is. Haley's already drooling over him."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 4:42 pm

"Don't want him now, huh?" She chuckles.

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 4:52 pm

"Not gonna compete with little miss Texas. That's probably what she wants."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 5:02 pm

"He probably doesn't even get that she's hitting on him."

by **Jennifer Newgate** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 5:08 pm

"He is pretty oblivious..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 5:23 pm

"He's got kind of a 'whoah, girls!' thing going on."

by **Miranda Weaver** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 6:59 pm

"Kay," Miranda said, "Let's head towards the harbor, see if we can rule out the water as a problem."

by **Kay Haddock** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 7:15 pm

"Alrighty." she says and heads off towards the water.

by **Vertie Easley** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 7:16 pm

Brigid Plunder wrote:"He's got kind of a 'whoah, girls!' thing going on."

"Sometimes that works for some girls." Vertie said with a small army of rodents hanging off her. "I think, the best way to put out a gas fire is to smother it."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun Dec 21, 2014 9:30 pm

"If we find it I can just seal up the pipes," Alex said.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 12:09 am

Blaine, very quietly, spoke up.

"Do, uh, we know what kind of plant is producing the gas?"

El nodded. "Yeah sure, I can do that. You mean like, with a rope?" Oh this'll be good. A proper pack mule. You're moving up in the world, El. Tell me again, why are you listening to her? A small voice asked her. She looked off to the side and Frankie was standing on some rubble, watching. She glared daggers at him.

by **Vertie Easley** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 5:33 pm

"I have an idea. Blanie! Alex!" She moved over the rubble easily. "If we find leaks on land, it may be best to rig up something like a lighter. Something that lets a litte gas out at a time and burns it off safely until proper work crews can get out here." She looked at the two boys, hoping she got her idea across.

by **Blaine Slinger** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 5:45 pm

"I'd need some source for flame, and then something sturdy and fire-resistant enough to contain it..."

by **Vertie Easley** » Mon Dec 22, 2014 6:41 pm

"There may be some stuff in the rubble and we'll need someone tough to install it." She pulled a flint fire starter on a string from her pocket. "We have an archer too, if we need to start the spark at a distance."
