Cough 071 - [Accidental video]

[taichou_tb]

[The PCD turns on, showing Ukitake outside of his home, a bandanna tied around his face to protect his nose and mouth and his hair pulled back. He's sweeping, ash and other lighter debris swirling up where he works. More than once he has to turn away to keep it from getting into his eyes. But it's only in the near distance that he has to do this

By not making yourself sick.

[He knows you too well, dad.]

[taichou_tb]

I know that. But I can still help now.

[reflectivedawn]

You won't help anyone if you push your self too far.

[taichou_tb]

I haven't done so yet.

[He manages a small smile.]

I'm okay right now, Riku.

[taichou_tb]

[Well, considering they just went through it, he's doing all right, regardless.]

I will when I must. I still have strength left that can be used to positive ends.

[taichou_tb]

I won't overdo it.

I think we need some kind of water distribution system. Especially clean stuff, for drinking and taking care of the wounded. If you could help figure out and coordinate how to get fresh water to people- some of us are gathering at what's left of the temple, and collecting wounded there.

[taichou_tb]

[He thinks on this for a moment.]

I know there are always plans and efforts to widen the availability of water, but I don't believe working on that right now will produce results quickly enough. My home has running water, though, and I can make some room if others, wounded or not, need to stay somewhere for the time being. As for transporting water, if we can find anything to to carry it in, that is the simplest, but probably best, way of getting it around.

[effyourcupcake]

That's true.

If you've got running water, can I come by with some buckets? I can help circulate it amongst people working.

[taichou_tb]

Of course. The house is at [x,y].

[He offers her a small smile.]

I don't think we've met. I'm Ukitake Jyuushirou.

-=He hasn't had the chance to rest and looks about ready to drop.=-

Is there someone leading this clean up? If not... how good are you at inspecting the structural strength of buildings?

[taichou_tb]

[You and most of the town, Edo.]

I haven't heard of anyone taking the reins.

I'm also not trained in such an area, but I like to think I have a good eye. I could give an honest opinion based on common sense, but I'd feel more comfortable if someone else could back me up, of course.

[saintedsinner]

-=A snort=-

Figures. All this lofty talk of government and when we really need leadership, it disappears.

-=Clearly, this is a sign that Mandrake's crap isn't going to fly here.=-

Alright. I'll join you. That way if something's decent, I can help reinforce it.

[taichou_tb]

[Ukitake is too tired to debate that point, so he just nods.]

That sounds like a good plan.

[thelonegenin]

[Oi, you look pretty responsible.]

Hey, er-- can ya like... tell me what happened and stuff?

[taichou_tb]

[Ah, Naruto-kun.]

You didn't see?

Nevermind. One of the Animus was summoned. For a few days fire rained from the sky and a few girls became horrible monsters. They have all been taken care of, but now comes the cleanup.

[thelonegenin]

[Yes... Him.]

Er... I was er, you know-- in the uh... [handwave] place.

Fire-- seriously!?

[taichou_tb]

Wastelands, I see.

Seriously.
