Thanks, Sadie [Mingle]

Date: 24th of February
Characters: OPEN!


After the earthquake on the 19th of January, the ground had been quiet. Or that was at least what everyone assumed; those who went to the meeting and listened to Walter speak might know that that was not exactly the case. Starting on the 9th of February, the earth had started to be shaken by the tiniest of tremors again, too small to be noticed by the everyday citizen, but not too small to escape seismic readers. Not that the public was told about this; why cause a panic? Things were strange enough these days in Mossgate Council.

Then, around 5am on the 24th, there is the most gentle shaking of the earth, only just strong enough to shake the leaves of some room plants, but noticeable. No damage is caused this time. At least not by the earthquake.

Because shortly after, a wave rolls towards the coastline of Mossgate. And not just any wave. It's a small tsunami wave, measuring about 1 metre at the top when it hits the shore and pressing up into the mouth of the river to reach a maximum height of 1.3m before it ebbs away.

The damage this time is substantial. Cars have been flushed into others, storefronts are shattered, the ground floors or many houses flooded and gardens torn apart. Some of the boats from the harbour sit somewhere inside the town now, and a ferry has crashed into the harbour office. By virtue of the very early hour and massive luck, there are barely any casualties - no more than one would expect from a major storm or flooding.

But Mossgate and Tarwich are in shock, and the descending media certainly don't help.

And every single Numbered in the echo boundary has received a plot echo, granted about a few minutes before the wave hit the shore.

[For five seconds - though more like five minutes, from Walter's perspective and no doubt due a little to the shock - there is only silence.]

What. Could you even see what you pulled out, or did the person in your memory just seem to... know?

A bit of both? I pulled out a weird, glowy thing that was... Not exactly an orb but not exactly not an orb? I'm not sure I can explain it. I might draw it later.

Drawing should help.

[Not just for the 'sharing with other people' aspect, either - even with Walter's now-perfect memory, getting a concept out can help a hell of a lot.]

I suppose in comparison, mine was less boggling; just points and lines, suspended on a background that looked nothing like anything on Earth.

[And then there's the 'also they're websites/weblinks and I can see them now' aspect.]

I'll do that. It's... It's something. Maybe it'll help in some way?

[The same way Nel can make or grow plants and Sky can 'see' life force, presumably.]

Better than letting it sit, and only letting the confusion fester.

[Is he focusing on this subject so he won't freak out about the house? Probably.]

I'll. I'll go do that. Now. It'll help me work through it.

[ You can hear him shuffling for paper and pen! ]

[Walter's side goes silent, too, for different reasons. Though, the connection isn't gone, and eventually Seth can hear:]

This would be simpler if I was just blind.
