Welcome to Gaia! ::

Why, you'd like to join the greatest city in the world? We certainly don't blame you, it's pretty awesome here. We just have a few warnings to get out of the way...

This is for normal citizens, meant to boost the numbers of those allowed to RP here. There will be events and giveaways for more...unique members of society here.
(This is not to say they can't go on to support Wily or the rebels during the course of RP, but they'll be starting as a normal citizen!)

Genders may not be chosen
Colors may not be chosen
Everything is random
Be prepared
PS: It's free!

Just fill out this form and post it here.
You may only fill this out ONCE. In the future we may allow for an extra redemption, but for now everyone will be allowed just one Audio via this thread.
Yes you can post for one even if you have a pair of scorched headphones :3

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? Cerolia's escape from the damage city was too close for comfort. But Cerolia didn't get out of it alive. Fur singed and burns on arms and belly. 'Too close,' Cerolia thought. 'Way too close. At least I made it out of the city before the fires got out of hand.' The audio looked back at the damaged city and frowned with shock and sadness. So many lives were lost but at least there were some that made it out before the fires got out of control. It was only sheer luck that Cerolia wasn't that far away from the outskirts of the city. Once a building nearly fell on Cerolia but someone had dove and shoved Cerolia out of the way, sacrificing himself (or herself, Cerolia wasn't sure the gender of the audio that had sacrificed itself). Slowly, Cerolia turned around and wandered away from the still burning city, wounds aching from the movement. Cerolia would return when the fires died down and the chaos ended.

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? Seven had ran for all he was worth as rubble came down. The male had his lithe form to thank the higher powers for as he leaps through narrow openings. He slid to a stop spinning as he watched what was his home street lay in scattered ruins. Horrified he backed up panting, tears welling up before he turned to run and run as far as his body's willing to take him. The male slid under a fallen fence and ran smack into a dead end...he looked up...this was a back alley to safety. He pales as he hears the stones. The male's eyes flashed a brighter color than normal before he scaled the wall to leap over the falling stones. Landing back out on the street he took off yet again.

He made it to the end of the street following others to what seemed to be a gathering of safety. He walked out of the city, slight singes on him. The scratches from the stones he knew was going to scar. He didn't care...Seven bowed his head to those lost before turning to face the new day.

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? The city had always kept them safe, hadn't it? Except for that night. That horrible night when the walls had come crashing down around them, when the fires spread from one end to the other, the smoke thick enough to choke them all. Anyone that had been asleep was surely dead. A late night trip to the bathroom had been his saving grace. Had he not gotten up, had he been in bed a minute longer, he would've been been crushed as the walls of his room crumbled.

Just... like his sister. Her room had been attached to his, and when he ran back to see what the noise was, her room was gone and she was no where to be found. In his grief, he had no idea how he managed to escape the imploding city, but somehow he had.

Now the City had been rebuilt upon the ashes of those who had fallen and she still hadn't been found. He didn't want to return, but where else would he go?

At least he didn't have to worry about another midnight attack. His nightmares kept him up at night now.

(I used he as a pronoun just for ease of filling out the prompt.)

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? Earthquake. You've been trained on how to survive a disaster from puphood, and so when the building shakes, you scramble out of bed, barely awake, and take shelter under the solid wood of the desk beside your bed. Moments later, the smell of smoke registers, and suddenly you're not drowsy at all, not any more. You contort yourself in an attempt to get a look out the window, and when you get the right angle, your stomach fills with dread. Flames are beginning to lick out the windows of the neighboring building. In the distance, you hear an explosion.

Not an earthquake, then.

You whimper, because you are fourteen floors up and if the lower floors are on fire, you don't know that you can get out. There's a fire escape down the hall, if the hall's not already unsafe. You're glad that you live alone, for once. Nobody else to make sure of.

The escape itself is a nightmare memory better left half-suppressed. The hall is filled with smoke, and you crawl, choking on hot air and hoping desperately that you get to the exit before the smoke boils low enough to choke you for real. You do, somehow, and then you are faced with the long, long climb down a series of staircases, steep enough to be barely more than ladders, that double back on themselves. The building shakes again, and you hear a deep hollow boom, and you take the stairs at a run, and everything is a blur. Flames leap out the windows as you reach the eighth floor, but all you can do is keep going. The ladder that leads down to ground level is stuck. You jump. Nothing breaks, and you run.

You spend the rest of the night huddled up in a culvert, hoping alternately that it rains and puts out the fires and that it doesn't rain because rising water will force you out of the semi-secure hiding spot you've found. Morning will find you with singed fur, sore and exhausted, but alive. As long as you're alive, you can keep going, and you'll remind yourself of this over and over in the days to come.

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? The city is a mystery to me even now, after the city has fallen. I walk through the rubble looking around and trying to understand what happened. I've never seen such devastation, falling buildings, explosions, I was lucky to get out with my tail in tact. My home which I had barely begun to get used to my new home and now it's gone.

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city?
I escaped with courage, making sound choices, remained calm, had faith along with hope, and focused on survival. There was a few close calls with looters as well as falling buildings, but inner strength is what really kept me going through all the destruction. I believe the city will rise like a phoenix from the ashes of destruction and from that destruction the inhabitants will rebuild those that were lost or things that we destroyed. The important thing is to remember nothing is ever truly gone.

(gender is up to you; i made this in mind when i wrote by having no "he or she" )

Tell us...how did you escape the damage to the city? Escape? Why would I want to escape?! So much excitement and danger. It's heart pounding to see if I can out run a falling building or parcor around as things fall and tumble and crumble. Nothing better than a little adrenaline in the morning.
