VIDEO ✍ 007 --> IMMEDIATE EVACUATION ORDER

[Considering a castle just fell out of the sky, Chief Inspector Javert appears somewhat shaken, but otherwise deceptively calm, his expression a statuesque maelstrom of indecipherable shock. After all, he is one of those lucky few that stood directly underneath the Overlord's former domain as it veered straight over the tops of the District Five government buildings. His hair, naturally, is quite frazzled from the impact and subsequent quake, and for once his hat is in his hand and not atop his head.

He orders, with urgent, cold, and commanding ferocity,]


There will be an immediate evacuation for District One and District Five. All non-official security persons must vacate One and Five with haste! You will be escorted and ... assisted by an officer of the law if you cannot do this in a timely fashion. [The corner of his mouth twists and dips into a grimace.] Any persistent stragglers will be dealt with.

Follow the main streets and boulevards to Village Espoir and District Three. There the police will dole out the emergency rations and accommodations.

Should anyone need any assistance, you will call Inspector Javert at this number.

[Conference call addendum to the POLICE FORCE:]

Begin with the evacuation. I will not have dim-witted fellows poking about the wreckage to get themselves into a swift and untidy death!

Once this task is finished, report to the Southern shore of Lake Meridian for duty.

I have notified the city's firefighters to assist in the evacuation. One group will accompany me to the wreckage for an immediate investigation and damage assessment. If any officers wish to join us, speak up now. Otherwise, do as instructed by the Inspector at once.

Mister Edgeworth, sir. Once I've finished evacuating district one I'll head towards the castle. My healing ability may be of some use to any injured we may find.
prosecutes: (You're an idiot.)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2010-08-21 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Make haste. The castle is large and will take a great deal of effort to search thoroughly. If anyone is trapped underneath the wreckage, they may not have much time.

[identity profile] laserofjustice.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I'll finish up here, it should take another 20 minutes. I'll meet with the force at the castle entrance. I won't be late.

[identity profile] phantomfenton.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm with the group going to the castle.

[At that, Danny receives one of Javert's most severe stares.]
prosecutes: (Name and occupation. Now.)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2010-08-21 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
It's dangerous. You should stick to the search and rescue assignment.

[identity profile] phantomfenton.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
*It's all Danny can do not to crumble into a feeble pile of half-baked protests at the man's powerful stare. Keeping from slouching only by sheer force of will, Danny concentrates on Edgeworth's portion of the screen, pretending as hard as he can that Javert's side doesn't exist.*

I know it's dangerous, but I can help better if I'm with your team.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Javert breaks his silent, severe stare with a simple question.]

How? [His tone is calm and patient, but firm. He arches a brow.] Are those arms strong enough to carry grown men on your back?

[identity profile] phantomfenton.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
*Danny clamps his mouth shut for a moment, cheeks warming and no worthy response coming. The man is right: considering Danny's stature and obvious ability, the boy is lucky that Javert didn't laugh outright over his request.*

*And why shouldn't he? These are the fruits of Danny's lies. A dark little corner of the his mind congratulates itself at this, but the rest of him merely shifts gears. He's been out of game for too long: he'd almost forgotten that his help never meshed well with systems.*

*With this in mind, Danny's shoulders sag, and he looks away in apparent frustration.*

No. They're not.
prosecutes: (Prosecution is ready your honor)

[personal profile] prosecutes 2010-08-21 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but it won't do much practical good. There are areas where you might actually make yourself useful. [He ponders for a moment before deciding on an appropriate task for such a young and scrawny-looking volunteer.] ...Go distribute blankets and food rations at the evacuation sites.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Javert, meanwhile, has his hawkish gaze locked on Danny. Somehow, the Inspector senses something offputting about the boy's response. Frustration rather than defeat? It is an interesting response in a young boy questioned directly about his physical capabilities.

It is strange, to say the least. But Javert says nothing, merely regarding the boy with a swelling curiosity. There's no reason to believe that Danny is capable of more than he appears... is there?]

[identity profile] phantomfenton.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Blankets and food. Got it.

*It's not hard to fake the beginnings of a sulk, even while studiously ignoring the Inspector's continued gaze.* I'll get started right now.

[identity profile] shouharekkousen.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
I'll go to the castle.

[identity profile] scientize.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[As unimpressed as she is trying to appear, it should be easy for a man like Javert to see the shock behind Naomi`s expression. Nearly two years she has been in this world, but never has there ever been any indication that the floating castle would ever become unstable and fall so terrifyingly from the sky. What was really at work behind this mess?

She`s shook a little deeper than usual, her worry displayed obviously in the way her eyes brush over Javert`s face as if trying to read his thoughts. If he was disturbed from the events, her own concern would only triple. Naomi brushes the hair from her face, a calm and casual gesture, before she speaks.

She`s happy to see Javert wasn`t in the wrong place when it fell, even if he was a bit too close for comfort.]


Have you heard of any major medical emergiences yet?

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
None. [Javert's voice is clipped and firm.] But that does not mean there aren't any.

[What was really at work behind this disaster is certainly lingering in the back of the Inspector's mind, but it isn't his priority at the moment. His first and foremost duty is to ensure the safety of the Somarium people... and to secure the investigation.

About the disaster itself, however, Inspector Javert is a difficult man to read. What Naomi could see with the naked eye is his rumpled and untidy appearance. The Inspector was outside when the Castle descended and crash landed in the desert, so the wind and debris whipped around him as if it were doomsday epitomized. Overall, aside from a few scratches, he looks physically to be none the worse for wear.

Beyond that, Javert is stoical, serious, very grim, but completely unflappable. There is an unsurprised darkness and exasperated weariness in his eye, as if he were waiting for the day that a disaster of this scale would occur. He cannot say that the occurrence wholly shocks him. Somni was overdue for a new spat of chaos. But there is also a very faint flicker of relief in his cold eyes, that the castle should crash in the desert instead of dead center of a district.

After all, he could not afford another reconstruction and renovation of Naomi Hunter's government district lab. Or was there something else underscoring that grim, annoyed, but relieved figure?

He examines Naomi superficially for damage, his grimace deepening at her shock.]


Don't say-- You intend to offer your services.

[He trains one of his infamous, searing gazes through her.]

... Is your head clear enough for it?

[identity profile] scientize.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She stares back at him, her shock over the incident already evaporating. There wasn`t time to sit around her lab and draw impossible theories as why the castle fell or what else the population should try to prepare for in the future. That would be for later, when this mess has been dealt with. For now, she will provide help in the only way she knows how.

Stare all you want, Javert.]


Just as clear as yours, I`m sure.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Javert regards her in severe silence, his expression fixed in one of revulsion. Eventually, he concedes with a low, terse sigh. If he had to be perfectly honest, the police would need all the assistance they could get.]

You must dress the part, then. Don't you have anything practical to put on your feet in that closet of yours? Not heeled shoes.
Edited 2010-08-21 04:31 (UTC)

[identity profile] scientize.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Done. [Though she normally would grin and tease Javert for her victory against him, the situation is far too serious for the doctor to act so childishly. Naomi nods firmly in reply to the Inspector`s sigh, already moving to her bedroom to raid her closet. This is a compromise that she is willing to make.]

Where do you need me?

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Without argument? I am impressed.

[In the feed, Javert appears to look up at something above the edge of the screen.

He says, tersely and mysteriously, whilst he replaces his hat back atop his head,]


I won't waste time on an explanation. Come with me, rather.

[Click. He hangs up.]

[Though she should be arching an eyebrow at his cryptic command, the woman is far too used to Javert's oddness by now. Even without the false memories between them, they've spent quite a bit of time in Somarium together. Tucking the phone back into her pocket, Naomi pulls out a pair of black flats (that were hidden far into a dark corner of her closet) and immediately slips into them.

When she finally emerges from her room, blouse buttoned up partially to make herself look 'more practical', the doctor freezes for the briefest of seconds upon spying Javert already in her home.

This wasn't the first time he'd just let himself in either. It seems like this was beginning to be a common occurrence. Wonderful.]


That was quick. Already expecting to recruit me?

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Javert, truth be told, moving from Police Headquarters in District Five to Naomi's lab when she responded to his evacuation order. He knows the stubborn, irritating woman better than he would ever care to admit; in the face of certain disaster, she is the sort to cling to her lab and 'go down with the ship.' The Inspector intended to beat her out and convince her (to put it delicately) to exit the fifth district while the police sorted this mess out.

But if there is one thing the Inspector cannot deny it is her usefulness as a medical doctor during this disaster. She is one of the most capable physicians in Somarium, despite it not being her specialty, and with the anticipated injuries and trapped civilians in the castle's debris, she is a necessary addition to the investigate and rescue team.

When Naomi emerges from her room, Javert is examining whatever damage, if any, he can see in her lab. He is making another mental tally of things that must be replaced. Again. With his hard-earned money to make up for his mistakes in the explosion caused by Diva. He murmurs,]


No. I was... in the neighborhood. There are many stubborn stragglers here.

[Like yourself, Naomi.

The Inspector raises his head and regards her with a scrutinizing stare.]


That is the best you can do? The streets are a mess. And we will go near the desert later.

[ACTION]

[identity profile] scientize.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[She changed her shoes for you, so stop complaining and be grateful.

There's a moment where she is frozen in place, regarding Inspector Javert with a careful, but intense gaze. He appears the same as he did over the network--frazzled, but unharmed. Good.She's pleased with that for now. Time to move onto other things.

Pulling her dark hair back into a much firmer ponytail, Naomi crosses through the room, moving past the tall man towards the front door. There's an impatience in her movements, a need to hurry and get to the scene of the damage. The woman fears she's already wasted far too much valuable time preparing to head out.

She casts a look over her shoulder at him, obviously waiting.]


You don't need to worry about me. I'm ready. Lead the way, Inspector.

[identity profile] namelessqueen.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ She looks thoughtful, Javert. District one, district one . . . if she's not mistaken, she lives in district one. A pause then . . . ]

Hm, no.

Police Force Conference

[Harry also looked shaken but he has a look in his eye that's ridiculously calm and steady like someone who has seen disaster before. He's more than ready to use magic if necessary to get people out and more than willing to get the job done.]

Sir with your permission I'd like to make sure people stay safe and away from the castle.

[Though secretly this is an excuse to go in himself.]

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
You have the skills for it, Potter. Search the rubble for any survivors. Though I doubt you will find any.

Inform M. Edgeworth once you are there that I will follow you.

[After all, Javert doesn't intend to go to the castle yet; he is leaving that in the hands of his men for now. There is far too much other extremely important work to be done at this moment for that.]

[identity profile] sonuvasnitch.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, sir!

[Harry salutes the screen before signing off. Of course by the time Harry gets there he decides it's more worth his time to go straight in. No sense in wasting time after all~]

NO I'M NOT TROLLING AT ALL.

[identity profile] darkenedbeast.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so you're the man in power all of a sudden? Just what we need.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[With a grimly amused, fierce gaze, he says,]

I am a government official. I represent the man in power, but I am not he.

But don't think that undermines my authority to issue an evacuation.

[identity profile] darkenedbeast.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
So, what're you going to do about it, jackass? You can't honestly expect a whole group of people to listen to your bullshit. They can use their own judgment.

[identity profile] bloomtrigger.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Guess who's here to provide a minor annoyance today, good sir.]

S-Sir...? I don't mean to sound like I'm being defiant or anything, but... I've been military-trained to provide service in situations like these, so I would like to stay and offer my assistance if needed. I would be more than happy to, as it is my duty as a soldier to help civilians in need.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Javert looks disgusted, as if offended that a civilian would dare to ask him such a question. And yet despite his fierce grimace and cold stare, he asks only one abrupt question,]

What is your rank, Mam'selle Soldier?

[identity profile] bloomtrigger.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Noel freezes a bit at the stare, but does not relent. She made her decision to help, and she wanted to stick to it as much as she can. She was surprised that he didn't give her a flat-out no, and tries her best to mask it with a more firm expression.]

My rank is that of Lieutenant, sir.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Lieutenant, [Javert echoes thoughtfully in a dry murmur. The lines in his face deepen, his grimace not lessening an inch. He casts his lids to the floor in a long stretch of silence, as if he were seriously mulling over the prospect.]

...Very well. I will try you.

[He raises his intimidating, cold eyes to Noel once more.]

You wanted to join the police? Consider this your audition. Work. If you run into any trouble, tell them Inspector Javert sent you.

[identity profile] bloomtrigger.livejournal.com 2010-08-24 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Yes! Finally! She gives a surprisingly sharp salute.]

Sir! I will do my best to meet or exceed expectations! I shall now commence in assisting residents to evacuate to the designated areas.

Police force conference call.

[identity profile] snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a specific evacuation point within Espoir and District Three, or are we just going to flood those areas with people?

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
There isn't enough lodging for all of them. But the religious men and women will take as many as they can. Direct them to the churches first. Once they fill, clearings and fields must work well enough. Distribute the tents and blankets kept with the emergency rationing.

[identity profile] snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
There can't be even near enough for everyone in the city.

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
No. There aren't. But you must make them last as long as they will.

Put four to each tent. It is not comfortable, but it will have to do.

[identity profile] snapekillsedgar.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's an emergency. People'll have to deal with it.

This still doesn't answer what we're going to do about the castle.

Inspector Javert!! What of the Overlord?! Is she in the castle?!

Suoh, that is a concern left with the police. Don't let's blow your top off with worry, now.

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2010-08-22 08:32 am (UTC)(link)

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-24 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Only if there is much to be found.

[This he hisses with distraction, as if he doesn't quite believe there is. He raises his eyes again to Tamaki.]

You will evacuate, then. And bring your friends.
spectaculaire: (Stalking? What stalking?)

[personal profile] spectaculaire 2010-08-26 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course! We're on way right now but I just wanted to ask...

Thank you for your assistance, Inspector.

[identity profile] royalbluecursed.livejournal.com 2010-08-21 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
This seems rather serious. Am I right to assume you're the head of the police force of this place then?

[A bit nonchalant if anything, not really shaken up]

[identity profile] chose-death.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 07:19 am (UTC)(link)
[A cold pair of eyes examines the young boy.] I direct the investigative unit. The administrative head is M. Edgeworth. I represent him for most purposes.

[and then, an abrupt question:]

Are you alone?

[identity profile] royalbluecursed.livejournal.com 2010-08-22 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
... I see.

[Represent him huh? Seems like he might as well be in charge of that division too]

If it puts you at ease I have a butler, so no.
