ooc. so a lot of you know i live in the pnw, and a few more know i live in south king county, which as some of you might have heard is super duper under water rn. i'm very safe, as i live on top of one of the valley ridges that is fortunately devoid of topsoil so not even a slide risk, but three out of four of the local rivers are flooding, we've lost (at last count?) five levees, and bunches of major roads and partial cities are underwater right now. it's really, really bad right now, and if you can spare kind thoughts for the people who are losing their homes or fighting to keep others safe, that would be very nifty of all of you.

it's all just really heartbreaking.

I discovered I was the comic relief side character when my girl scout troop got into a train accident during our sophomore year of high school. One of the front train cars got hit by a semi-truck (bad) on it’s way to California

however, I was in a sleeper car in the very back of the train and we felt a little bump. my mom got up to investigate. a bunch of people ran past our little room. my friends were in a closer car and watched a fireball out their window. something was wrong.

I got up. put my pants on. went to the lower car to brush my teeth. I am brushing my teeth, I hear a commotion. I go out of the bathroom and find the door to outside is open. I hop out.

there is a big ass fire going on and people yelling and exiting the train. I am still brushing my damn teeth. I get back in and finish brushing. 

anyway, every one else was very traumatized and they were like “how’re you?? what were you doing?” and I’m over hear like

oops.

hey, guys, just letting you all know that we have just experienced a massive earthquake here and there has been a lot of panic going around because the epicenter was located not too far from where i live. the quake itself has stopped for now but some people are still experiencing small tremors and we’re currently on tsunami alert. i’m home alone at the moment but safe, my place is situated on a higher ground and away from the ocean, but i’m trying to remain as alarmed as possible. i’ve also been contacting my relatives just to make sure they’re all okay. if i go silent for a bit it’s likely because i’m still bustling around or just trying to calm myself down, i’ll make sure to keep you guys updated, however!

hey guys, i just thought i’d let you know why i haven’t been writing as much. i don’t know if you guys have heard of it but my country had just experienced a massive earthquake ( lombok is the specific location ) and i had to go on an impromptu two-day travel with limited internet connection to help and make a work report there as well as check up on my relatives. on top of that, my dad got really sick the day before and he was coughing until he couldn’t breathe at one point and i had to watch over him. he’s okay now though and i’m back home!! i have a few days off work so i should be able to rest and hopefully fix my muse up. thank you so much for your patience and i hope you all are doing well <3

When the dust settles, Sherlock Holmes can’t remember what had kicked it up in the first place. The air is thick, clogged -- his mouth falls open as his lungs seize and as he coughs he tastes plaster and cement and something acrid, something once volatile. The taste has a name, he knows, he can taste its name on his tongue, too, but something stops him from saying it. He opens his eyes and looks up at a ceiling of mercifully arched and stacked debris. He’s on his back; he cranes his head, strains his eyes. There’s a body beside him, a man.

     ❝ Hey-- ❞  Sherlock’s brow furrows as he grapples for a name. He knows the man, recognizes him, but can’t-- quite--  ❝ C-- Ah, can you-- Are you all r-- ❞  The coughing fit returns. He retches upward, but whatever irritant is making him cough only moves further down the back of his throat. He tries to move, to flip over onto all fours so he might retch properly. A weight on his chest keeps him on his back. And then suddenly-- pain. Pain explodes from the crown of his head, a particularly harsh flare rippling down one side of his neck.

His groan dovetails into a shout and he all but forgets about the cough.

Giving this a whirl--

When the attack on New York happened, Sam watched the reports of people needing to evacuate during and after; the destruction and chaos left in the wake so close to where he grew up. He talks to his parents (we're okay, we're organizing to help people) and he takes leave, packs his car full of water bottles and supplies and drives to New York. Sam is from Harlem, New York is his home.  He meets up with his ex-girlfriend, now close-friend, Leila Taylor, who's been with his sister, and tearful reunions all around-  His dad is doing work organizing people to get the help they need and helping reunite seperated families. He thinks about what he'd do if he still had his wings; how he'd have helped... but it's a passing notion.  Punching aliens isn't a viable option right now and there's work to do. Leila's working on a book, "The Other Captain America"- about eugenics and racism as they apply to the legacy of Captain America, Isaiah Bradley, and superheroes, and she's having a field day criticizing superheroes- "Macho assholes- Who's left afterwards to clean up the mess?"  Sam knows the hardest work is often left in the wake of what the heroes leave: he cleans up with firefighters and volunteers and the DSNY and when he stops into the bodega he sees the TV reports of Tony Stark doing interviews about what happened- Captain America fields a few questions as well- And Leila's the Captain America expert now- she keeps up a running commentary about Steve Rogers trivia and about what a mind-blowingly incredible event it is that he's been unfrozen Sam immediately likes him: he lives up ridiculously well to the sweet-as-pie, wholesome hype. He's humble and he says a few things about the heroes being the regular women and men., Sam finds himself nodding along. Leila rolls her eyes so hard Sam thinks she's gonna dislocate something and makes a wry comment about how this guy should go into politics, he's fuckin unreal.  Sam nudges her arm lightly and laughs that she's the most cynical person he knows.  She replies that he's just an old naive softie with a hero complex, but she jostles him back and kisses his forehead fondly
