Shake it like a Polaroid picture!
[It happens very suddenly.
The ground begins to quake, building up into a rather forceful tremor. You can hear the ground moving beneath you, as if something has disturbed it and it is now expressing its anger as it rocks absolutely everything.
Depending on where one might be, the obvious answer is to find somewhere safe to ride it out and encourage others to do the same. There really isn't much else that one can do.
As its happening, it feels as if it won't stop. In reality, it only lasts just over a minute, but it is perhaps the longest minute ever.
The quaking begins to slow to a stop, and soon the ground is calm once again. The earthquake has passed, but it has certainly left its mark on Paradisa.]

[If you're in one of the hallways, you might notice what seems to be a large dark blue lump huddled in a corner, with a purple mop on top of it that's shaking and...]
[Oh, wait. That's Garry.]
[He seems to be quite shaken by the earthquake, breathing heavily as he stares at his surroundings in confusion, though what's probably the most odd is that bright blue rose he's holding in his hands in a protective manner, as if it's his own flesh and blood.]
That...that was...!!!
[He can't even finish, he's so frazzled by what happened.]

Re: IN THE CASTLE
A lot.
Well thank goodness for the Washington state school system! Jane doesn't panic (much) and makes for one of the tables. As the castle stills, she peeks out, wide-eyed and breathing hard.]
Goodness gracious! I haven't felt one like that in quite a while!

No, instead, he's headed right outside to the garden to check on a tiny little tree sprout. He'll just be moving debris from around it SUPER CAREFULLY, ignoring the unsless-es that appear around him as he does so. He lets out a shaky breath when he realises the Truffula is okay]
I knew we should have put it somewhere safer. [Stupid future self, saying to put it in a public space. Screw you, future self, look what you did]

once the quake was over, he stood back up again. there was pain in his hands, broken glass shards biting into his skin, but Dextera ignored it in favor of going to find people and making sure they were okay. his regeneration could take care of the pain, the mute was more worried about those still in the castle...]

At the moment he's standing on top of an overturned couch looking around himself as he tries to figure out what caused that. It's sad that in this castle the first thought it's just a normal natural disaster. ]

6th Floor
Unfortunately she can't even keep her balance enough to make it down the hall, and she ends up knocking against a table with a vase and falling to the floor in her attempt, taking the vase of flowers with her in a crash.
Well it's over, but she's out for the count from smacking her head right and proper. Help? ]

The world shakes, things fall and River screams.
She wasn't expecting this, wasn't expecting the floor to drop out from under her, wasn't expecting the world to tremble beneath her feet. She can feel the surge of emotion flare up around the castle, confusion, uncertainty and fear mixing together to make her feel sick to her stomach.
She drops to the floor, curling up in a ball and pressing herself up against door frame. Her eyes are squeezed shut and she's waiting for the rest of the world to fall apart around her.]

Re: IN THE CASTLE
CITY ROYALE
There's a long, thick crack in the ground just outside the town, and smaller cracks are sprinkled on the roads. Some roads are blocked completely due to fallen debris.
The townspeople definitely look like they could use some help picking up the pieces and accounting for their loved ones.]

Whoa-
[But once it's over, he'll be moving to check on people near him since he's not a TOTAL douchebag. So maybe it's you he's helping, maybe it's a townsperson and you're just walking by- who knows]

Town Gallery
Shitshitshitshitshit
[Remembering all those stupid safety classes they did in school she lunges for the doorway. She could hear the art falling off the walls, the glass windows shattering and other sounds of the building breaking apart around her. She trips over a chair, falling and skidding across the floor. There's a loud CRACK and pieces of the ceiling break apart and shower down over her.
When the earthquake ends, Nora tries to pull herself out of the debris only to find her leg trapped under... hell she doesn't even know what that is, only that it doesn't belong in the middle of the fucking floor.
She looks around, trying to get her bearings in the pretty well demolished room. The door's been blocked by a bookcase and parts of the ceiling. She tries to listen to see if anyone else had been in the gallery when the quake hit.]
Is anyone out there?!
[... oh Christ she feels like one of those useless chicks in those disaster movies.]

He doesn't even recognize the gallery, but he could hear Nora's voice. And so the ghost boy phases into the rubble again and floats down into the destroyed building.]

THE STABLES
When the shaking starts, Vanyel at first thinks its him. But soon, he realizes that's not so. It's very not so, and Yfandes only helps assure him of this as she dances in her stall. Other horses scream in terror as the earth, so steady beneath them once, quakes, dust and hay falling about them and the barn shaking, creaking.
Vanyel holds onto a railing near Yfandes' stall, even her quiet calm broken as the earth shakes, screaming with the others. He hears a sharp crack and he ducks, the creak of timber giving. Crash, Yfandes calling to him in his head as dust and hay obscured views.
When it ends and he can see, hay and dust are everywhere, tack fallen to the ground, buckets knocked about... and the doors blocked by fallen ceiling wood, some of the stalls too. Coughing, he hurried to the door, pounding with his firsts.]
Hello?! Is anyone out there?! Hello!!
[ He licked his lips, standing back, trying to block out the sounds of panicked animals and went to Yfandes, sitting down against the back of her stall door, trying to focus instead of worry about her nerves.
Breathed, breath, reach out, touch minds, knock, be let in...]
It is Vanyel. I am trapped in the barn!
