VI: [ voice ] Power Outage

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

[ good thing Piper's already done with preparing the food before crazy things started happening to Taxon. ]

Okay, I don't know what's going on with the tablets or the hatches, but, um... is there anyone out there who can tell me where the makeshift bunkers can be found? And also with carrying the food to the bunkers? There's... um, quite a lot of them and I would appreciate anyone's help very much.

Where are you, sweetheart? I can help carry.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

I'm at Quake, sir. It's in Wilde. In front of a few dilapidated buildings and a... laundromat.

[voice]

[mancalledspade.livejournal.com]

Be there PDQ, angel. Sit tight.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

...PDQ?

I can help carry. I've got superpowers.

[ voice ]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

[ Piper can't help but chuckle at that. ] I don't doubt it. Your help will be very much needed, then.

[ voice ]

[ihavettk.livejournal.com]

Well, hey, happy to help, then. Where are you? I'll fly there.

[ voice ]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

I'm at Quake in Wilde. It's... well, a small restaurant, but I don't think you'll have trouble finding it.

I have a bunker in the basement of my bar, Caritas. It's over in Osten. I can't help you with the carrying, but we could definitely use more food for big Armageddon coming.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

[ there's a very, very faint sound of pen against paper as she writes this down. ] Caritas... bar... Osten. Okay, got it. Do you know how many people might be going there for the... um... [ she doesn't want to say Armageddon. ]

I've been working on the whole census-taking gig. It hasn't been a party, but I figure there's about ...sixty people in this town. I don't expect to be looking after all of 'em, but I can take in maybe fifteen, if we plan it out right.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

I think fifteen's a safe enough number. One-fourth of the population... yeah. I'll see if I can get someone to bring food your way, then.

Also, um... would you know if there are other bunkers? I know Kaylee's busy with one, though, so that makes two, but I was hoping there'd be more.

[voice]

[chase-evolution.livejournal.com]

I only knew about the Caritas location. However, I'd be happy to help you with the food.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

That'll be great and very much appreciated, sir. Thank you.

I'm at Quake right now, over at Wilde. Some people are already showing up for the hauling... so, um... how soon can you get here?

[voice]

[chase-evolution.livejournal.com]

Wilde? [small pause while he checks the map] About ten minutes, if that's all right?

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

That's perfectly all right. I guess I'll see you, then.

[voice]

[supercompacted.livejournal.com]

Well, there's the Wolfram and Hart office in Osten, but it's not really set up as a bunker. It is really big, though, so if there's overflow from the others, people can head over there. And it has some of it's own unperishables in Basement 2, so it's probably set for food. I'll head over there and make sure there's plenty of collected water, just in case that starts messing up.

Thanks for providing food, though. If my arms get any strength back in them in the next hour, I'll sign up for helping carry. I think the sandbags did them in for awhile.

[voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

[ more scribbling sounds can be heard. ] Wolfram and Hart. Osten. Okay, got it. But, just to be sure, it's not an actual, official bunker, right? Just an extra, I guess?

[voice]

[supercompacted.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Like a backup. It's not really a great place to stay if you don't have to, but it is a pretty big, reinforced building. So if it's needed, it'll be open.

I wish we knew what all was happening...but I guess it wouldn't be an emergency then.

[gotcouplings.livejournal.com]

[ She sounds frustrated--probably those parts she keeps getting zapped for hatching. ]

Got the list here, if you still need it.

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

Kaylee! Hi. Boy, am I glad to hear you.

Yeah, I do, actually. So far I have Caritas and Wolfram and Hart on my list. Am I missing anything?

[ Voice ]

[gotcouplings.livejournal.com]

Glad to be heard. [ Smiling again in no time, yep. ]

Alright then...we got: Buffy's castle, Caritas, Northern Island, Wolfram and Hart. Also got a couple basements Tony 'n I were able to find out. [ And she spouts off the coordinates of those as well. ]

Superboy 'n I talked some about Titan's Tower, too, so if you hear from him at all you might wanna double check on it before we start movin' things about over there.

[Voice]

[tothelightshown.livejournal.com]

There's one in the Northern Island, but we've already got plenty of food.

It looks like my bike's still working, if you need me to carry anything?

[Voice]

[freezecharm.livejournal.com]

Hey, DG!

...yep, sure. If it's not too much of a bother? I might need you to bring some of these things to Buffy's castle.

[Voice]

[tothelightshown.livejournal.com]

It's fine. It'll be good to be doing something.
