[VIDEO | January 22 ] DURING THE EARTHQUAKE

[little_terror]

[ The screen comes on entirely accidentally -- it seems to be gripped in one tiny little hand and a bit of bright pink hair sticks up everywhere as the entire video shakes and shakes and shakes, the sound of the ground rumbling underfoot thundering. But something seems quite.... odd... about this. Perhaps, because, as the screen is tilted more, it reveals a very happy tiny girl running around over huge shaking cracks and dodging trees and falling branches, jumping up and down and screaming rather happily. ]

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK.

A huge tree falls down right in front of Yachiru with a huge thump and sends her flying in a random direction through the air. ]

WHEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ So excitedly! BECAUSE EARTHQUAKES ARE SO MUCH FUN!!!!! ]

[little_terror]

Nuh uh! I won't get killed! I'm real strong!

[tokunagas]

Yeah but your strength is cut in half here!

I wouldn't be so sure! [I don't want my friend to die kthxbai]

[little_terror]

Don't worry Ani-Ani! The ground's just shaking! And I'm reallllly fast, kay? Trees can't hurt me!!

[ As if to prove her point, Yachiru jumps out of the way just as another branch crashes down. ]

See?

[tokunagas]

But still!

What if you didn't see a tree coming toward you or something?

[little_terror]

But trees are big and loud and hard to miss, ne!! And I've got real good sight!

[tokunagas]

But still!

You can play when you're inside somewhere safe, it's still shaking or something!

[little_terror]

But if I play inside won't the house go boom and squash me?

[tokunagas]

Only if you're careful and watch where you're going.

[Maybe this will convince her...]

[little_terror]

[ Nods! ]

Un! I'll be careful! I'll go play in a park where there's lots of space and houses won't fall on me, kay? Ani-Ani should be careful too! Houses are falling down so you might get smushed if you're inside, ne!!

[tokunagas]

[orz]

There should be some bigger spaces in some of the buildings!

[little_terror]

But they'll fall down, Ani-Ani!

[tokunagas]

Just like the same when you go outside!

[little_terror]

[ Okay, now Yachiru's confused. ]

But there aren't houses outside!

[tokunagas]

[ORZ]

Can you tell me where you are?

[little_terror]

Ummmm....

[ Yachiru looks around at all the destruction. ]

I dunno!!!

[ Actually, she's quite lost. ]

[tokunagas]

Anything that stands out to you at all?

Are there a lot of trees or are there more buildings around you? [Anise to the rescue?]

[little_terror]

Ummm... well...

[ And then Yachiru just gives up trying to explain and turns the mirror around to show Ani-Ani where she is, kind of turning around in a circle before flipping it back around again. ]

Can you tell?

[tokunagas]

[Anise stared at the video Yachiru was showing her. Just...this was going to be difficult.]

Did you see anything unusual around running around? Like a certain landmark or a store nearby?

OKAY JUST MAKING SHIT UP NOW

[little_terror]

[ Yachiru shakes her head a little cuz she's really not sure where she is! But in the distance behind her appears what used to be part of a landmark building that's somewhat close to a district of older houses and buildings. ]

GO GO GO

[tokunagas]

[For a moment, Anise wasn't sure to what to do. Yachiru didn't seem to listen and now that she was lost. However, when she saw some of the building behind her...] All right, so I think I know where you are!

So stay right there! Anise is coming to help you!

[little_terror]

[ Yachiru doesn't know why Ani-Ani thinks she needs help but she'll stay here 'cuz maybe Ani-Ani wants to play, too!]

Kay, I'll wait here!

[tokunagas]

[And so Anise is here to the rescue! Thankfully after spending a lot time protecting Ion and being in the battlefield has made her more careful about her surroundings. It wasn't long until she found Yachiru]

Hey, Yachiru-chan! There you are!

sorry for the slow, was so sick!

[little_terror]

Ani-Ani!!!!

[ Yachiru waves from where she's standing on a raised, cracked piece of asphalt. ]

No worries!

[tokunagas]

[ahgpiahgpag!]

Yachiru-chan, what are you doing? Get away from there!

[little_terror]

[ Yachiru bounds down from the pile she's standing on and comes to a stop right before Ani-Ani! Not a single scratch on her! She's a good foot and a half shorter than Ani-Ani, not even reaching her shoulders...! ]

I was trying to see how big the crack was!
