[EVENT] Cold Winds Blowin'...
Characters: All
Date: January 10-31, 2018
Location: Keeliai, all sectors
Situation: Hurricane and ensuing cleanup
Warnings/Rating: add warnings to headers as necessary, please.
Come late night on the 10th, carrying over into the wee hours of the 11th, the winds that have been on and off all month pick up, howling between buildings and rattling anything not nailed down. The worst of it comes over the next day, when the winds don't actually stop, sweeping through the city at high speeds and bringing rain and all kinds of debris with them.
The canals in Water are nearly impassable, making travel even more inadvisable than it would have been. In some places the wind takes out the power, too, leaving several people temporarily without much in the way of heat -- not good when the average temperature is hovering around 5°C (about 40°F). The rain comes heavier over the course of the day, and flooding both minor and major abounds; during the worst of the storm the canals are near to overflowing and there's a sincere -- and realized -- risk of drowning. As the flooding rises fast, some unprepared citizens may be caught by these rushing torrents and need rescue.
The storm settles down toward the end of the twelfth, leaving only brisk winds and a sullen drizzle as it finally passes the city by. In its wake, however, is a vast array of damage, and significant repairs to be made.
The high winds have knocked many trees down, some of which landed on homes and businesses -- in some cases, punching right through the roofs, rendering the buildings temporarily unlivable, and sending their occupants out into the storm to seek their nearest secondary shelter. Flooding is wide-scale, doing immeasurable amounts of property damage and putting many lives at risk. Many are left injured, homeless, or their businesses and livelihoods in ruins. Even more have lost personal possessions that are irreplaceable.
All told, the Merchant's Guild estimates that nearly 10% of the city's residential districts have suffered severe damage, meaning that the homes in those areas are not structurally safe to live in until repairs are made. This translates to about 6000 kedan across all Sectors in need of temporary housing. A further 20% (roughly 10,000) of the city has experienced moderate damage, so their homes are livable, but they may be without power, heat, or necessities like running water or adequate food stores.
The rest of the city takes light damage, mostly in the way of flooding and damaged goods. Volunteers are needed all over the place to remove storm debris to a growing mountain of wreckage outside the city walls. Everything from broken windows and furniture, to entire trees and large sections of rooftops need to be hauled away, and in some cases, the Foreigners' abilities will be much appreciated, since whatever left is going to be done with kirin-hauled carts and sledges.
Through the rest of the month, repairs are in progress, most of it taking place beneath a sapping cold rain, which impedes both repairs and volunteers' health, and many come down with walking pneumonia and flu-like afflictions. Usayi is among those organizing work crews for the clearing of large debris and urgent patches; he'll be spearheading those efforts as the month wears on as well. The Woodsmen also call for help from as many volunteers as possible, citing the loss of a great deal of growing and stored seeds, as well as the damage to their agricultural land plots, which are now littered with more debris.

He's relieved to see that the bar doesn't appear to have sustained any major damage. But when he steps inside, to his surprise, rows of cots and blankets have replaced chairs and bar tables.
"Jackie, hey." He keeps his voice down - there are a few kedan sleeping in their makeshift beds. "You're running the Golden Koi as a shelter?"
no subject
"Yeah, you know. Didn't get hit too bad, so I figure I should help out."
no subject
"That's great, Jackie. How's the place holding up? It didn't look too bad from the outside. Do you need any repairs done? I can make time for that."
no subject
"Um, don't worry about it right now," he says; there's a leak in the roof with a pot under it, but no real structural damage Tony will see if he does a scan. "It's not like we're the worst hit at all."

Jackie Ma: Master of Planning.
"We had a little on hand, but I guess that's not gonna last, huh..."
no subject
"Not unless you start adding beer to the meal plan," he jokes. Beer has calories, right? (But for real though, don't feed homeless kedan beer instead of food.) "What about the Merchant's Guild? They're handing out emergency funds. That new woman doesn't like the Foreigners all that much, but running a shelter has to count as a good cause."
no subject
hey! Talk to Bakura and he will tell you that BEER WAS A STAPLE IN ANCIENT EGYPT THANK YOU VERY MUCH >:[He looks a little guilty. "Yeah. Odyni. Uh. I do need to ask, I guess. But I still feel like we coulda done something about Aroyan. Guy did a lot for me, lending me what I needed to start this place up..."
Also, she scares him.
no subject
Tony gets it, though. He hadn't known Aroyan was sick and there wasn't anything he could have done about it if he had, but he still feels bad. He'd always been an ally to the Foreigners, and it feels like they let him down.
"I can talk to her if you want," Tony offers. "I'd like to meet her anyway."
no subject
"I think we should both go meet her. Maybe we can go together?"
no subject
If she takes a disliking to Tony, Jackie has a better chance on his own. Tony can be an abrasive jackass (not intentionally!), but who could say no to Jackie?
He is a precious cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure.no subject
Don't you mean "precious pork bun, too good for this world, too pure"?That makes Jackie grin. "Heh, yeah, okay. Good move. Though I bet she'd like you. You know how to get stuff done, man."
no subject
"I don't know if that means Odyni will like me, though. She doesn't seem to like any of us much. I just hope she's willing to treat us fairly anyway."
