The night bus would take William to Sakhatkhorgo in a few hours. If all goes well he should arrive in Sakhatkhorgo's terminal east in the early hours of tomorrow.

In french, babaev describes what he's doing and tells her to take some of this cough medicine and examines her nose as it looks off. The nose is just a little sore from all the dust in the air and Francine is given a mask to wear that'll keep it from being further inflamed. On route to the hospital, Babaev would stop at a small market still standing and buy 1L water bottles for everyone and some non perishables to eat. Theyd then arrive at the hospital a while later.

"Oh cock" the driver said as the hospital is no more. Literally. While this hospital did not completely collapse. It is too badly damaged to use. Entering the building is dangerous as the building could collapse at any moment. However tents have been built around the hospital. As expected. The place is crowded and disturbing with many injuries and overwhelmed doctors. Everyone seems too busy to help Francine. Half an hour passed and a doctor finally aproached Francine to inspect her injuries.

"Ah, a broken nose. This requires surgery unless you're willing to do it the old-fashioned way. The thing is, all the surgeons are too busy with broken bones so there is a long waiting list."

My character, a bizarre giant reptillian "bird" (that suspiciously has arms), wanders into the ruins of the city, hoping to scrounge for a good meal. The "bird" approaches a house's backyard, fences surrounding it having been knocked down, and notices that the glass sliding door to the house has been demolished.

Inside the house is a drunk Sherechian. A young male in his early 20s. He's clearly oblivious of the situation as he continues to scroll down on TikTok on his phone amidst all the displaced furniture in his house. He sees the "bird" and says.

"Can I ride you like in world of warcraft?"

Before continuing to scroll down on his phone.

Salman is shocked at the sight. He thinks how many people have died there. Just as he’s going to go, he hears a faint noise. He goes near it and sees a teenage girl, extremely injured. He lifts her up. She is still conscious. She contunies whining as Salman decides to go to the Chisun Palace because his brochure he got from a “Visit Sakhatkhorgo” stand near the airplane told that the Chisun Palace has survived many earthquakes.

Salman and the girl arrive at Chisun palace by bus and slowly walk up the steps to that palace. Apart from some toppled furniture and shattered pottery. The palace itself is intact and the monks assist the girl for her injuries. One monk startes chanting prayers while the other gives her herbal tea. A third monk gets the first aid kit.

Meanwhile, Salman looks outside from the top of the palace. 100 multistory buildings have collapsed. 7 large plumes of smoke from fires. 20 landslides surrounding the city. It is getting dark but the only source of lights are from the fires, flashlights and the lights of the undamaged Chisun Palace powered by backup generators.

My character, a bizarre giant reptillian "bird" (that suspiciously has arms), wanders into the ruins of the city, hoping to scrounge for a good meal. The "bird" approaches a house's backyard, fences surrounding it having been knocked down, and notices that the glass sliding door to the house has been demolished.

Inside the house is a drunk Sherechian. A young male in his early 20s. He's clearly oblivious of the situation as he continues to scroll down on TikTok on his phone amidst all the displaced furniture in his house. He sees the "bird" and says.

"Can I ride you like in world of warcraft?"

Before continuing to scroll down on his phone.

The "bird" proceeds to sniff the air, and then charges in the direction of the scent. Its destination: the meat fridge in the basement.

The drunk Sherechian gets hostile, thinking that the "bird" is trying to get into his alcohol cabinet for whatever stupid reason (probably because he's, well, drunk). He grabs his wine bottle, approaches the "bird", and attempts to bonk it on the head, failing miserably.

The momentum causes him to fall, bashing his leg badly on a metal table. Blood starts oozing out of his injured leg, and the "bird" certainly smells it. As the scent is registered by its brain, the "bird" senses that there is definitely something in the blood of the injured creature, and that it should not be consumed.

Despite this, the man gets back up and comes right back at the "bird", without realizing how severely outmatched he would be in a proper fight with it, and that this "bird" does not play by any rules except one: survival.

If this is a human based rp can we not allow non human characters for the sake of realism?

The woman looked at the doctor questioningly; she was still shaken by what had happened, her throat was dry with thirst and she still couldn't see well. Concerned, she said, "O-old-fashioned? What do you mean 'old-fashioned'?"

OOC: Ok we will have a compromise. Sauros can join but his actions will be isolated and can't affect everyone else's RP. It's not technically against the rules though. Nonhuman characters are allowed to join.

Unfortunately for both of them, the ground beneath them couldn't take the weight of the giant bird. A landslide occurs, bringing with it the "bird", the drunken guy, the house and all of it's surroundings. The house collapses, burying the 2 alive. One the dust settled, the "bird" has lost track of the guy who may or may not be alive and it has been transported to a new location. Closer to downtown Sakhatkhorgo.

However, the man would suddenly reappear. Unharmed and ready to fight. He charges straight at the bird with a brick and a broken beer bottle.

"So il jam your nose back in place. It will hurt but at least you can breathe like a normal human being again." The doctor says while administering eye drops on both of Francine's eyes. "Kind of like getting punched in the nose, but in reverse."

The "bird" proceeds to do one of the few things it does know in this scenario, and that is to rip open the target's gut. The man's intestines spill out instantly, and he becomes nauseated by the sight of his own spilt gut as he slowly bleeds to death.
The "bird", still yet to be identified, runs off in search of an actual, undrugged meal.

OOC: is it alright if I affect other peoples' RP on an individual basis, so long as they consent beforehand?

"So il jam your nose back in place. It will hurt but at least you can breathe like a normal human being again." The doctor says while administering eye drops on both of Francine's eyes. "Kind of like getting punched in the nose, but in reverse."

As the drops given by the doctor began to take effect, giving her some relief to her eyes, Francine Lemaire thought about it. She hoped those "moves" to fix a broken nose were a bit like you see in American movies: a snap, a lot of pain but at least the nose would be in its place.
Gritting her teeth, she gave her consent to the doctor to proceed with the "quick fix".

The doctor puts both of his hands on Francine's nose and jams it back in place, There's a loud crack, Francine feels the worst pain she has felt in forever and despite the mild nosebleed that happened. She can breathe again.

"There you go. It wasn't that bad right?" The doctor said.

The sky is getting dark. It is 7 Oclock and the city is pitch black. The only source of light are fires, flashlights, and the stars.

With the evening coming and the temperatures dropping, Francine begins to feel cold. She's still wearing her quilt a bit torn but it's not enough to protect her.
Walking around the refugee camp, she sees the townspeople lighting fires, gathering around and handing out bottles of water. The woman had recovered from the cough thanks to the mask they had provided and her nose ached just a little, but now she felt terribly lonely (as well as thirsty and hungry). Lost in a foreign country and not knowing what to do, she just wanted some contact with other human beings and maybe some consolation.
Gaining some courage, she walked over to one of the bonfires and asked the group, "Excuse me, can I sit here with you?"

Francine approaches the group of people sitting around a bonfire in the middle of a park surrounded by buildings. Many of which sustained some form of damage.

"Sure thing. So what brings you to Sakhatkhorgo? Well... before shit turned this city to shit. Also you look like a starving African child. Here, take this grilled fish."

The guy takes a skewer of grilled fish from the bonfire and gives it to Francine. Aftershocks continue into the night. Occasionally shaking up the city for a few seconds. Francine hears a conversation between several people around the bonfire however a particular sentence catches her ears.

"They say that ghosts are more likely to appear during disasters like this. So many people died and are awaiting reincarnation that the spiritual transit system can't take it."

Babaev having put francine in good hands, departs back for the airport to see if he could head to the national capital of Sherechia

Babaev having put francine in good hands, departs back for the airport to see if he could head to the national capital of Sherechia

Babaev and his driver arrive at Sakhatkhorgo international airport. While the terminal building is mostly intact though the glass facade has been shattered, there are cracks all over the roads, taxiways and runways and part of the ceiling has collapsed. All flights have been canceled. The reason is clear when Babaev saw a pile of broken-up concrete, shattered glass and twisted metal. The control tower has collapsed.

The driver then offers driving Babaev to Aruday.
"I can do it, it's about a 500 km drive. We will probably need to find a hotel to stay in for the night because I don't think you will enjoy the adrenalin experience of driving in Sherechia at night."

"They say that ghosts are more likely to appear during disasters like this. So many people died and are awaiting reincarnation that the spiritual transit system can't take it."

Heartened by the invitation, the woman sits down among the group of people. When asked by the guy she replies: "My name is Francine Lemaire. I come from the European Federation, more precisely from France. I'm the secretary of a law firm in Paris and I came here for a nice vacation, but, obviously, the goddess Fortuna must be in the bathroom right now."

When she finished speaking, Francine bit into the grilled fish skewer they had given her: a little chewy but it was better than nothing.

Later, the slight tremors began to make themselves felt again. Fortunately, they were in a park isolated from the main buildings and therefore far from any danger. The most that could collapse there was a few kiosks. Or open a hole under their feet.
Francine was afraid of the thought and it didn't help that the Sherechians started talking ghost stories, completely ignoring the little shakes. She didn't believe in ghosts, in fact she had almost forgotten that God existed. She came from a perfectly rational society, or so it professed to be. The word of God was used from time to time by politicians to motivate their actions and to take the vows of religious, although Western religions were always entering more of their decadence.
But that day had shown her how convincing divine fury could be. If she survived, she would rush into the first Parisian church to thank the Lord and return to pray to Him every Sunday.

Francine noticed that one of the Sherechians, the one who had offered her the grilled fish skewer, had asked her something but she didn't understand what.
"S-sorry, I was a bit distracted. Can you repeat?"

[Sherechia]

"Ah alright then. Oh you're from Paris? How is it like living there? Considering that city is very romanticized in the media."

"Yeah, though earthquakes like this aren't a matter of bad luck really. It's a regular occurrence. The Sherechians have lived like this for 7000 years. Traditional houses can survive the worst of what nature can throw at it. It's only when we modernized and started building brittle concrete blocks where things started to turn to shit."

Another person arrives in the campfire carrying 2 boxes. The first box is full of bottled water and the second one is full of... blowfish. It was at this moment Francine realized what kind of fish she has been eating all along. However, no one seems to have fallen ill so maybe it's safe? This guy than passes the water bottles to everyone including Francine.

One of the people then said "Alright guys I am going to sleep since its literally midnight." He lays down on the grass, using a towel as a pillow.

Well apart from the fact that there is no power or running water. It's 4 AM and the sky is a vibrant dark blue. The sun is about to rise.

"I'm sorry but we are full. A lot of people have decided to stay in hotels since well you know what happened to their houses."

[Great United States]

(OOC: i expected sher. to do my characters reception as normal)

(OOC: sorry sher. forgot to read your message,consider this hotel a different one near the previous one)
