[The feed clicks on to first show the growing-too-familiar rain of fire. Then a building finishing it's burning decent to the ground. The viewer can hear someone breathing a little heavily and maybe swearing under their breath

[Sokka noted the PCD message, but considering he was just passing by the offending flames, he didn't bother responding. Trajectory mapped, he gave the wall of fire a wide berth before seeking out this person he's never met.]
[He's shading his eyes from the heat and the light.] Are you-- are you okay?
[Kariya is just gonna grab him by the arm and pull him a little farther away from the burning building. There was way too much smoke over here for anyone living to be able to handle it.]
I'm alright. No harm done unless you count getting a little dirty. I'll just have to find a new place to stay once all of this is over is all.
...if there's anywhere left to look. [Sokka looks back in the direction of the house and then steps away a few more feet. He runs a hand over his forehead, streaking soot into sweat, sweat into dirt.]
If you're-- [He coughs.] If you're up for it, I could sure use help. Lots of fire out there, lots of injured, too...
Anythin' underground ought ta be safer. Try the firehouse -- [he taps in the coordinates swiftly] - it's brick an' I've got some protections up around it. I'll be swinging by.
Lookin' for work? They must've really ticked ya off.
[He chuckles.]
I'm just gettin' people outta the line of fire myself. Ya wanna keep an eye on the kids back at the house, I wouldn't say no ta that. You know where the place is, yeah?
Hidin in a hole while fire rains down mercilessly on our sad little town that is overrun by weird little monsters doesn't sound like the best idea to me. What if there was nothing left when I decided to come back up?
[He nods.]
I'll go check on em. [Although he wouldn't be terribly surprised if he got there and they were already gone.] Not that those kids can sit still. Well, here's hopin right?

Sure thing. We should get you something to cover your face with. Your lungs probably can't take much more of this.

You have a strong sense of self-preservation, Kariya-kun.

To live like I do you gotta.
[But mostly he's just lazy.]
You ain't too shabby yourself.

[Oh what he wouldn't give to be able to construct a wall or something here. Make a safe zone or something. Oh well.]
If you had to guess, how many people in this city would you say are unable to defend themselves from something like this?

[A pause.]
Guess the only way to be sure is to scour the city.
[He sighs.]
This'll take a while. Mind lending a hand?

I'll keep that in mind. I'll start looking for survivors.

As for other safehouses, there's a few that Tou-san and I helped set up a while back that we're sending people to right now.
*And he gives Kariya a short list of coordinates.*

[He takes note of those too and does the same.]
Hopefully there wont be too many people who need rescuing.
[Not because he doesn't want to do it but because it would mean some of these people had any sort of survival instincts.]
