open | event | All Shook Up!
Characters: Teams Alpha, Beta, and Charlie; also, everyone!
Date: February 17th (through 28th)
Location: Tu Vishan's shell damaged areas (multiple locations), sewers
Situation: There are a number of damaged sections of Tu Vishan's shell and the kedan are working at repairs and, where the turtle's flesh itself has been damaged, healing. There are many convoluted sewer passages now open that Foreigners technically could access, if they can make it past the police that have been stationed around each exposed area.
Warnings/Rating: Medical examinations, blood & gore references, sewage; to be updated as needed.
Exposed Areas
The damages sustained during the dive event are not excessive in number, but are plentiful enough to require work groups of kedan to be deployed in a twenty-four/seven repair schedule. They are signed into each area through one of Evandau's direct reports and their numbers are counted throughout the day to enforce strict controls over those that have access to Tu Vishan, their most precious resource.
Those making it past the checkpoints or sneaking through gaps in the sentries find that the Emperor did not lie about the damages done. There are scars near each damaged bit of shell that shift into spider webbed stress lines and end with the jagged edging of broken shell. Kedan workers are busy trying to clear away broken shell and install metal-and-wood framing that will hold these pieces back in place when they are done.
Beneath the surface, some are working at dams and blockages in what appears to be an ancient sewer system. The walls are smooth and indicative of architecture done in concert with the natural growth of the turtle. Lanterns provide some pinpoints of light where dark mosses have grown over the bioluminescent shell itself, but the further one goes from the work sites, the more one must rely upon the natural lighting of the shell in order to proceed.
At the core of each operation are the best healers that the kedan population has to offer. They can be seen tending torn and blooded flesh of a momentous scale, mending the damages done directly to the turtle to the best measure that they can. These areas are the most stringently guarded, for Tu Vishan is most vulnerable beneath the armoured layer of its shell.
Sewage meets most that enter the tunnels rather than skulking about the sites, with an unpleasant smell lingering in the nose and mouth the longer that one stays there -- oh, and in the clothes, which may make a stealthy exit more difficult if one is not downwind. The tunnels twist and turn aplenty, crossing one another with a design more evolutionary than engineered. Those that wander in are at risk of becoming lost beneath the surface, with only a few doors and small closet-like rooms to be found where tools were stored once upon a time.
Be wary, Foreigners! There are many a kedan patrolling these areas and they will give chase in an unauthorised party is found. Evandau briefed a number of the teams himself, advising that Foreigners are all considered unauthorised. Parties subject to arrest are to be brought to the surface and handed over to either the police or, once it's in place, Raylan's civilian team for eventual escort to the palace prison.

tell me if this is cool!
She stops, suddenly, as they come to a turn, and gestures for Raphael to imitate her as she presses her back to the wall. She's not worried about it; he might wish for a fight, but she doesn't think he'd want people hurt just for that.
When the danger has past, she straightens, but she doesn't start to move just yet. Instead, she turns to him, voice soft.]
It's...okay. To worry.
[Cass offers a faint smile.]
I...worry about my brothers.
hey, I'm cool with pretty much anything
But she's right. He's really freaking worried about not only Leo, but Donnie and Mikey. He doesn't even know what happened to them. He doesn't even know if they're alive. It's a constant ache on his conscience every minute he spends in this wacked-out place, and now this girl's putting her fingers in all of his very private sore spots.
Narrowing his eyes, he pushes off the wall and starts stomping ahead down the tunnel, not even sure where he's going. He just needs out. Now. And if that doesn't happen soon, he's really gonna need something to hit.]
I ain't worried. Leo can take care of himself.
<3
Mine can, too. All - fighters. Still worry.
[Because no one is invincible, especially on the inside. She shakes her head, though, as she catches up to him.]
Don't - have to talk, though. If you don't want. Just...wanted you to know - you're not alone.
[No one should have to feel alone.]
no subject
He feels alone every day of his life, but part of that is no one's fault but his own.
He keeps walking, glancing at Cass out the corner of his eye, and snorts incredulously.]
All right, Dr. Phil Girl. You always make a habit of hangin' around sewers handing out psychiatric advice? Or did I just get lucky.

[Yeah, this is a safer thing to talk about. Things were getting way too personal back there.]

Yeah, and what do you gotta be bulletproof for?
