These circumstances are quite dire. Please do what you can. Any who require refuge may come to my room. You are more than welcome..."Charlie." I will assist you as soon as I can in breaking the barrier. I am quite strong.
And thanks. If everyone evacuates, I don't think we can all fit them in one person's room though. They'll almost have to camp in one of the gardens or viewing levels.
It's alright. I guess it's kind of confusing. My legal name is Carlota, but everyone always calls me Charlie, ever since I was a little girl. But every so often I get talking to some macho jerk from S.P.D. HQ who gets this like, mocking tone in his voice when he calls me Charlie, like I picked that name for myself in order to sound like a man. I'm not the only woman I've ever heard called Charlie, and I didn't just pick it myself at all, but people always just assume that's what I did, and it makes me mad. My sex doesn't make me who I am. I'm a woman, and what does that mean? It means I've got two vulnerable spots on my chest and I sit down when I use the bathroom, and that's all. But everyone makes some kind of big deal about it and...
...you didn't mean to. sorry, Jack. I'm just used to getting flack about this all the time, so I just like, go into a rant whenever it comes up.
[[ooc: Matt's not gonna reply, he doesn't like Charlie, so he might enjoy watching her freak out if she tries to knock on his door and get no answer XD;;; And if he answers the door to Mello's room it will be more or less er, 'fuck off']]
[[That's perfectly fine. Charlie will just knock a few times, calmly, and move on if she gets no answer for everyone but Nana and Wonder--both little kids. and all she's going osay is that she's got it on good intelligence that the lower levels are going to floor so she's initiating an evcuation effort, and recommends that people take emergency suppliles and go up to the glass garden in section one. If he does get shitty with her when/if she gets to Mello's room, she'll just scoff, say "fine then" in her annoying valley girl voice, and walk off.
and I'm glad matt doesn't like her! :D It tells me I'm playing her right.]]
I told you, there's no need to worry and it will not reach this level so I see no need for us to move; and even if it did I assure you I am still quite capable of getting up stairs without help. Still, I admire your determination.
Heh. Well, if there's anything I've learned in my time as Commander, it's that you take tips like ours. But my duty isn't to take chances, it's to protect people. I'd rather evacuate a couple of floors of people when I don't need to than like lose a ton of people if the water rises too far too fast. But I can't make anyone do anything they don't want to do unless they're hurting someone, either, so it's not like this is some kind of official thing. I don't even know if I have jurisdiction here.
But thanks. I've been told I'm willful and stubborn. I don't think anyone would even say that if I was a man, but I'm proud of the fact that it's true. A Commander makes a plan and gets it done, and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
I...I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken up so harshly. I forget my place, sometimes, and I understand why no one would want to take me seriously. I'm sure whatever you decide to do will be the right thing. I won't challenge you again.
Oh, I'm not mad. I didn't mean to come off that way. I just didn't want you think I wasn't listening. I am. I just have to err on the side of caution. Working with psychics, I've learned to accept the bad they predict as fact and treat the good they predict as fiction. Because there's no harm being the skeptic when everything's hunky dory, but it's like a bad deal when you make like that one girl in the legends when your contact predicts something bad. What was her name, Cassandra?
I-it's flooding?? O-oh no, I guess I need to head up then?? Nana's not sure about floods, don't those make people drown and die? Papa wouldn't have sent Nana here to drown, right?? Papa's not like that, Papa couldn't have known-!!
I'll- I'll head upstairs then! I'll get food from where I am and then I'll head upstairs!

And he'll even warn Balbero.
That's just how he is.]]

Of course. We will for people wherever they can stay. Please allow me the honor of having you stay in my room.
