Day 10: Forest - 1:15pm
Who: OTA
What: Seven point five
When: 1:15pm - 5:00pm
Where: Forest
Rating: TBA
Status: Active

The sun was shining high in the sky and a gentle breeze stroked the leaves of the trees, making them, along with the severed stub of rope on the clock face from the day previous sway lazily. It was quiet. Perhaps it was too quiet, for the lack of birds chirping or insects buzzing.

All in all, the day was one of the most pleasant as of yet for the bulk of the involuntary residents of Vas Captio, save, of course, the heat. Maybe it was a bit too hot to be entirely comfortable.

It started small, as most things do. Leaves rustled and bushes shivered, creating a pleasant woodsy sound of wind lacing its way through the greenery. Any birds or animal stopped, sitting silent in anticipation of what is about to come. They sense it.

The ground grumbled and heaved violently then. Several large trees cracked and groaned, splitting in half and crashing to the forest floor. Other large trees simply uprooted along the path of the rumbling, falling into smaller trees and bushes. Parts of the forest floor ripped open with steaming pockets of hot air rising out of them to sear or burn anyone that happened to be nearby them. The birds shot up out of their trees, flying out across the town in huge droves. Deer and other animals ran in every direction, seeking shelter of clearings or open air.

All along the edges of the forest, the glass wall rippled. In town, if anyone happened to look up at the sky, they would see this affect as a shimmering, prismatic shiver. The sounds of destruction from all parts of Vas Captio would carry up and along the dome, sending voices and noise to other parts of the town and forests in massive cacophony and confusion. Someone in the gas station might sound as though they were at the barn and so on and so forth.

Through the entire quake, the glass wall will stand firm. It will not crack or crumble even in the minutest way. It is untouched when all goes quiet again.

Vas Captio was still, again, and silent once more.

The Doctor wasn't moving at a very quick pace to start with. His movements were disjointed but filled with fury. There was a rage that fueled the Gallifreyan now. A blind, focused rage.

"It started in the town," he responded in a voice that came from between clenched teeth. The Doctor had one singular focus right now: keeping the people in the town alive. There would be no deaths, not on his watch. The problem was where to start. There was no way to be systemic about this. There were nearly 50 people in this place now. What was he to do? He was going to keep going in a beeline with the wall at his back and he was going to help his friends.

Saving the universe, saving his friends, same difference.

The Doctor twisted to peek over his shoulder, shooting pains running up his side. "You alright?" he asked, side stepping a fallen tree with a less than graceful motion. He could see a clearing still a ways out. The clearning was most likely the road. From there he would be on to the next buidling he found.

One already had. The man hanging from the Clock Tower.. but Gambit, thankfully, didn't know that yet and he was following behind the confident alien without hesitation, though he did have to step around that tree instead of over it. But when a big one came, he tucked his injured arm in close, stepped a few quick times and planted his right hand on it to vault himself flawlessly and fluidly over, landing on his right leg more than his left almost soundlessly, before beginning his easy limp again. Oh, that hurt. But they were clearly in a rush, so it wasn't something he'd waste time to think about.

"Oui, oui, fine. Don' stop for me, I feel grea'." Well, compared to how he'd felt five minutes ago, he felt just fantastic, and wasn't going to complain for fear of things getting worse. But the woods were wide and long and the clearing came closer at a slow pace. "You sure you okay, Docteur?" With his jaw set like that, the alien looked to be in pain more than he looked angry.. then again, it might just be that Gambit was misreading him. It was a likely thing, actually.

But if Gambit had friends in that town, he'd be rushing like this too.

The Doctor was on fire. His hearts were pumping and his endocrine system was pumping massive amounts of adreneline through his body in an attempt to dull the pain as he steadfastly forced himself onward. His back, he had determined, had been severely bruised. Though, that was not going to stop him. He had things to do, people to save, equations to write, and someone called the Insider to show what the fury of a Time Lord really looked like.

The Doctor hadn't looked back, the fact that Remy was talking and was keeping up was proof enough for the Doctor that the Cajun was alright. The fact he kept talked was an even greater sign that the the redhead was perfectly fine despite his collision with the branch.

"The race that fought my people, Gambit. They have a name for me. A name, I suspect the people behind the curtain did not take seriously enough." Fire and ice and rage. Brilliance faded only by stubborness and ego - that was the Doctor. This Doctor, long lost in the back of his head and tempered by his companions was a man on a mission. He would not, could not be stopped.

Trainers landed on pavement with a heavy heave as the Doctor looked left and right and squinting he worked to locate a landmark. There was work to be done.

"'De an'icipa'ion is killin' me, Docteur. What 'dey call you?" He had to know. No one called him anything neat-- wait. No. That wasn't true.. Le Diable Blanc was pretty neat. He had to admit. A short pained noise escaped the Cajun as he stepped on that ankle wrong, but a small hop took the pressure off of it and he was walking with just that small limp again, coming up along the Doctor's side once more, to keep stride with him, still hanging onto his injured arm. Merde, it hurt.

This road was one he'd never been down.. but they were taking a curve that would take them around the outside of the town instead of straight up the middle unfortunately. It meant it would take them much longer to get to someone. And it meant the Cajun wouldn't see that doorway out of here.

The Doctor took a breath. He didn't even know why he brought it up. He had a singular focus: getting to the road. It wasn't time for sharing is caring or opening up. He had a job to do.

The road was twisting and the trees were in the way of his seeing any structures. He couldn't get his bearings right and the Doctor found himself wishing that he had managed to do just a little bit more exploration instead of locking himself away with the damned modulator. He was also wishing he hadn't tweaked his back because now he was starting to limp a little. Still, determination would win and the Doctor would keep on at a steady pace.

An explosion rocked in the distance and the Doctor paused. "The petrol station," he looked, catching sight of a plume of black smoke rising above the trees.

Path committed to he continued on. They'd find a closer building soon enough, he was sure of it.

"You still alright?" He asked over his shoulder.

"You don' wan' talk 'bout it? D'accord. We talk later." Quipped back to him in that still up-beat manner. It was hard to get the Cajun to be completely serious, but sometimes it could be managed. Not right now, however. Thinking on the bright side kept him going, right now and during life in general.

And when the explosion rocked the ground again, the red-head, who'd just been balancing on a fallen tree to climb over it, was knocked aside and nearly fell, but pushed himself up onto his toes and jumped off, landing a little unsteady on his injured ankle, but gracefully enough. A few mutters beneath his breath and he was rising up to keep walking again. "Oui, oui. How 'bout you, Docteur?" However, after the Doctor answered, Gambit would allow the rest of their trek to go in silence. The Doctor was clearly on a mission and Gambit didn't want to detract him from that too badly.

Well, at least Gambit knew better than to press because the Doctor would have had none of that. It was when he was Nine that he'd learned the value of just closing his mouth. Sometimes he wondered if his rambling nature wasn't a direct result of forgetting that lesson.

"Brilliant," he responded rather gruffly. Just ahead the figure of a collection of buildings could be made out; the theater the most obviously damaged of them all. It appears they had found their target.

"Allons-y."
