Twenty-third Theory [Action/Voice/Accidental Video]

((Backdated to this morning, of course.))

[An earthquake in Luceti? Don doesn't know how likely that is, except that apparently it's possible.]

[Somewhere in the back of his brain, he knows that you're supposed to stand in a doorway when an earthquake hits. But as the first tremors rumble through C6, knocking Don's journal off a shelf so that it falls open on the floor, all he can think is protect Raph.]

[He throws himself over his still-bedridden brother, holding him to the mattress and trusting the springs to cushion both of them from the worst of the shaking.]

[As soon as things are quiet, he'll dash to the other room and grab his bo, in case this earthquake was caused not by movement of fault lines but by big-jawed robots chomping their way through the building.]

[Noticing the open journal, he'll shout into it.] Did anyone else feel that?

[ Sup Casey you might after a few moments hear something outside. Something akin to a roar but not to worry Helios is just trying to dig you out of the rubble with that Griffin he summoned. ]

Mr. Jones! Can you hear me? [ He'll be yelling that over the protesting, annoyed, squawks of the beast as it uses those giant talons to rip through the rubble. ]

[ Oh hell, that doesn't sound good from the other side. What, there are animals attacking now-

huh. What's to do but yell back? ]

Hello?

[ He hears that reply! Which makes him a tad bit happier, at least he got there in time. ]

You're there, wonderful! I'll have you out in a few minutes.

[ And a few moments later you might be seeing the rumble around you shake and shift Casey. ]

You're that Helios guy, th- [ What. What is this. ]

H-hey, be careful out there, will ya?! [ If these walls close in, he will kick somebody's ass. ]

Ah yes! I almost forgot to introduce myself, terribly sorry! But yes, I'm Helios. [ It is magic! And don't worry Casey, Helios can heal you if anything happens, but it won't. ]

Ahah sorry! This rubble is quite dense, but just a little bit more... [ Some more shifting and then a few minutes later you'll get to see two giant stone hands break through the rubble above you Casey; they'll effectively part the top open so you can finally get some fresh air and see the reddish sky. Helios will be standing over the decent size hole, about big enough for any man to fit through, and he'll smile and wave down at you. ] That wasn't as bad as I had expected! Are you unharmed? I did try to be careful as possible...

[ Casey will very...patiently? wait for that rubble to get pushed out of the way to start talking again. Yelling through that stuff just really points out the fact that it's there, for some reason. He starts hoisting himself up and out. ]

I'm good. Nice meetin' you. [ Thank God, open air. And an apocalyptic scene. He lets out a huff. ] Gonna be a great day, huh.

[ The Griffin behind him will let out a rather ominous growl. He'll lay a hand on the creature's beak however easing it back into calm composure. A small frown finds its way onto his face as he surveys the scene around him. ] Ah good! A pleasure to meet you as well, though I wish it were a better time and situation to have met.

[ He lets out a tired sigh. ] It's been...unexpected but I'm sure we'll pull through.

[ ~~While the rest of the people trapped with him file out~~ Casey starts dusting himself off. ] Place is made up of people good for a crisis.

[ His gaze travels to the general wreckage of the village. ] And now definitely counts as a crisis.

[ Helios will chuckle a little though it's tinged with sadness rather than genuine humor. ] You are certainly right on both accounts. But we'll pull through. I'm certain of it with everyone's help we'll manage.

[ A thump on the back for you, rescuer. ]

That's the plan.

[ Oh god. Ow. He'll cough and laugh you have a good arm new acquaintance. ]

Ah you're probably worried about Donatello, hm? I could give you a ride to where he is if you'd like? Or, er are you not good with flying or heights? [ See Griffin as new wave air transportation. ]

I, uh- think I'll just walk. Don't mind flyin', but I'm not so big on whatever that is. [ Gesturing to said Griffin. No offense, dude. ]

[ Helios will give you a derpy smile, laugh and hand wave it off. ] Of course, of course! My apologies it's not everyday one is introduced to a Griffin after all! I was just worried about the state of the ground you see but, ah I don't think there's a threat of an aftershock thank goodness.

Yeah, really. Be kinda nice to have what's left of the place still standin'.

[ He gives a solemn nod looking around then. ] Any little help at this point will certainly be welcome I'd imagine.

That's that, then. [ He is able-bodied enough for that. ]
