Elite Four Aftermath - In The Blizzard's Wake

[bravenewmods]

The warriors of Union fought hard, and in the end, victory was their reward. Seeing the battle lost, the fanatics of the Elite Four fled into the night, those that were not killed or captured of course. Sveta was nowhere to be seen, nor was her mysterious companion, and as its rage was reaching its peak, the mighty Dragon simply vanished in a blaze of energy, recalled by its trainer but not before slamming the mysterious red dragon into another tower for good measure.

As quickly as they had come, the gods of Union vanished, leaving behind the ruined, devastated city. What was once panic has subsided to a quiet shock and horror as the dead and wounded are gathered and people try to find out what was damaged and if their family and friends are still among the living.

While the damage is great, the defenders of Union can take heart in the fact that it could have been much, much worse. The habitat suffered a major blow with a great hole blasted into it, but it is otherwise undamaged and salvageable. The forge likewise had one smithy station destroyed from a divine claw smite, but is otherwise unscathed. The signal tower took moderate damage from the initial attack, but it is reparable, given time. The biggest toll, however, is on that of the people. The Residential District, as well as parts of the Entertainment district lie in tatters. Several towers are gutted, and a few even fell completely, many of the citizens inside them trapped and unable to escape. In all, the death toll numbers around 700, with at least 1,000 wounded, and is expected to rise as rescuers desperately comb the wreckage in search of survivors. Never before has Union lost so many of its citizens, never before has such suffering and violence come to Union. People are afraid, they are angry, but, in the true spirit of Union, they are banding together. The City of Union has survived. But it will never be the same.

There might be a press....but this is how I managed my studies on my own. I'd borrow books from the library, scribble out my own copy, and return the original later-- that way no one felt insulted, and no information was lost.

It's not that big a deal. I did it for my first few months in Union too.

[Until Yuuna confronted him personally and forbade him from spending all night in the library ever again.]

Well, we'll hope that too much recovery and copying will be required. And this time, you won't be alone in doing it.

[ She'd make a note to look into access to a printing press, for certain. If only to speed up the creation for forms.. ]

....I suppose that is a benefit of being on a 'team.'

[Even if he a small one with his Pokemon, it wasn't quite the same as what a team made of other people could accomplish.

Being a part of one was a strange feeling for Waver. He wasn't certain what to make of it.]

[soulofmagus]

[ Teamwork and being a team, while not mutually exclusive, certainly are different things. Sophia hasn't been in one before either -- at least, not in her time in Union.

So Waver's comment merely gets a smile, as the woman wraps her arms around herself. Ymir, absent until now, shifts into view, coming to a halt on her left. ]
