035 Facets - [Text] (He's actually feeling for a faultline in this icon)

[wearsatorc]

So does anyone know anything about the local fault lines are?

No. I don't, but I think we should find out soon where they're located.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

That's what I was thinking. Two small quakes this close together is not a good sign.

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

We should prepare for the worst, maybe set up a shelter to be safe.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Having a shelter standing by would be a good idea, but only the wearhouses in the industrial sector would be big enough I think, and they'd have to be cleared of monsters first.

...I could have dug one If this had waited another week.

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

..Hm

We should make a party then? One to clear out the area.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

The police did something like that for clearing out the hospital a while back.
I don't see why it wouldn't work again.

I'm not exactly in the best shape for a fight right now, but I could help take out some of the smaller ones at least.

There's always someone looking for a fight around here, you should make a post and see if anyone else is interested in helping.

...

I don't think I've heard your voice over the communicators before. I'm Knuckles.

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

I'm not in the best shape either, but I'll do what I can. I just made a post, too.

I'm Alyx. I'm..pretty new here.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

That's all we can do I guess. I'll try asking around too.

As nice as it is to meet someone who sounds like they've got a good head on their shoulders Alyx, I'm sorry you ended up here.

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

It's alright, these things happen, and it's nice to meet you too, Knuckles.

Hn. What did you do to get that nickname?

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

It's n-

ah...You do know that not everyone here is human right?

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

Yea. I'm sorry, I just figured.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

It's not a problem, I just wanted to make sure you knew before I did this...

[Video]

[Have a slight sheepish looking Echidna waving at you.]

I didn't want to give you a heart attack see.

[And he holds up a fist for the camera to get a good look at.]

And here's where the name came from.

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

Oh! Really, it's nothing to be worried about. Back on Earth humans weren't the only intelligent life forms.

Plus, not much can give me a heart attack anymore. As long as you're not a synth capable of speaking, we're fine.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Really? The Earth my friends visited only had humans...

Sounds you you've had an interesting life before ending up here. What's a Synth?

[an-investment.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm a bit after most of the people here.

Synths are creatures used by the Combine for an attack force. They were the 'baddies' where I'm from.

I wouldn't call it that interesting, but I sure haven't lead a life like most of the humans in this place.

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

Fault lines?

Would there be one close by? Considering we're by a lake...

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but there's been two quakes today Tails. Something must have caused them and there could be more coming.

There's more likely to be one to the south since there mountains that way.

Tails is not a morning foxy xD

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

[*Yawn*]

I know, I've been cleaning up my lab all morning. The first one woke me up.

Considering the size of the tremors, either the Earthquake epicenter is beyond the mountains- or the fault line isn't unstable.


Yet.

Aww

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping it's a stable fault line and that its going to stay that way. But we know what our luck is like.

isn't he cute XD

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

...true

I'll see if I can come up with anything...once I set everything back up.

[*He sounds a little annoyed*]

Nope, he's lazy :p

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

[Oh you can just hear the smirk he's trying, and failing, to keep off his face]

Want a hand straightening things up?

rofl! yes, lazy kit <3

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

[*Tails does hear it and glares sleepy-eyed at the com*]

If you mean that you'll pick up and I can go back to sleep? Then yeah, sure!

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

No. I said I'd help. I didn't say anything about doing all your work for you.

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

But Knuckles, I was up really late last night.

*Knux has barely slept since Tails went Malice*

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

I said I'd help. Don't push it.

*tails knows this not*

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

...alright.

It would go faster with someone else, then I can finish what I was doing last night!

*That's because Knux doesn't want him to know.*

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Okay I'll be over in a minuet.

What was you doing last night anyway?

*bad puggle >|*

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Knuckles!

Ah...nothing much just looking over a few of the bigger batteries Lucca and I started.

Hopefully we...yeah, we can start on the other apartment soon and get them electricity before winter!

*Always*

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a decent plan. Good luck with it.

*>P*

[cerebral-foxy.livejournal.com]

Thanks...I just wish Lucca would come back and help.

[imgreenbitch.livejournal.com]

Dude, fault lines? It was just a couple small shake ups.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

I'm just trying to make sure it doesn't get any worse than that.

[imgreenbitch.livejournal.com]

Well, ya got me there Knucklehead.

[lyraofoxford.livejournal.com]

It wasn't very big. There might not be any around here.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

There should be a few dormant ones around the mountains at least. If it was one of them that caused this then it probably won't get any worse. I'm just trying to make sure.

[lyraofoxford.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe I should ask about it...

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

Ask who?

[lyraofoxford.livejournal.com]

The alethiometer. It's a device I got which tells the truth.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

A machine that tells you the truth about anything? Now that sounds useful!

[lyraofoxford.livejournal.com]

It is, when I can read it.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I can help look for them with my son, and his friend, if he wants to join as well. Naruto's capable of duplicating his body many times over... although the clones disappear with a single injury. We might have to help him know what to look for, though....

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting skill.

They can be hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. One of the clear signs are the lines are bare rock like cliff faces. If they suddenly change angle that's the sign of a fault.

But since what we really need to know is how far away these quakes might be coming from we should be looking for recent signs of a fault moving. Like fresh cracks in rock that haven't been eroded or earth that has been displaced in a line. If these are small close quakes it might not get any worse, but if they are a large far away quakes they could trigger more and make things much worse.

I was really hoping someone had some records, it's next to imposable to predict what a fault line is going to do unless you know what it's done in the past.

That's if it's even a quake that's causing it.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

Interesting.. and useful.

That's something Naruto can do. I'll pass the information along.

It's too bad that there's no records. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what's going to happen. We may never find out what's causing it.

[wears-a-torc.livejournal.com]

I can imagine a few times where I wished I could have been in more than one place at once.

I can live with never knowing as long as it never gets worse.

[foxtamer.livejournal.com]

As well can I. Mind you, I'd be able to at least make a few if I had my abilities, but not nearly as many as Naruto says he can make. Your energy gets split equally amongst yourself and your clones, so it can be a bit dangerous if you don't have a lot to go around.

... Truthfully? That'd be just fine with me.
