While the hardest hit areas were closest to the Signal Tower, the residential district was in utter chaos. Mothers, fathers, children, all trying to gather up a few last creature comforts before areas were cordoned off, trying desperately to make their way back to their homes before the coming storm; their shouts, their cries echoed through the streets.

Seeing Chie and Gordon, the group was waved through quickly, given specific directions--get people moving as soon as possible. While the great ice dragon circled in the sky, raining down destruction around the other districts, it was hard to say how long it would take before the mighty god looked for another target. These pockets of activity were far too dangerous.

Directed toward one of the larger building housing a number of flats, the halls were packed with people and things, thrown about haphazardly in haste. Other Swords stood at the ready, trying to help families gather their things and get out as soon as possible, but there were more than a few stragglers.
