Thanks, Ben [Mingle]

Date: 4th of January 20, 3 hours after everyone came out of the cavesCharacters: OPEN


Three hours after everyone came out of the caves, an earthquake of the magnitude 5.7 shakes the echo boundary.

Up on the ruins, a single block from one of the lower walls gets dislocated and falls.

Down in the city and villages, things go a bit worse. A couple of sheds collapse, things fall over and off things, and some houses are left with cracks in their walls and might end up condemned. A number of telegraph poles fall over and a few on cars. There's three injured and no fatalities over all, and a few related car accidents because people got distracted that again go without fatalities.

...And, of course, the Media are back. The next day, the Sun titles "IS THERE A NEW CRACK IN THE EARTH'S CRUST??? Another earthquake strikes Mossgate 4 houses condemned, 10 admitted to hospital, powerlines down", but newspapers with more journalistic integrity send reporters as well.

Someone else is back, too - Numbered will see Mr Neutral, Mr Evil and Mr Helpful wander the streets.

He pauses, considers - eyebrows narrow as he replies, "But you do. You affect the way life happens here, just by being here."

It was part of what Webmind struggled with - how to safely involve himself in the world around him, without causing undue harm to himself or others.

Not quite the same, but considering how that lesser part of Webmind had interpreted it... it merited saying aloud, all the same.

"All the same, I'd better check back in with certain people. Take care, Mr. Neutral."

With that, and one more slightly-dubious look, Walter heads on his way, trying to focus on the current situation and not his new memories.

It is difficult.
