PE canon: Enter Maeda
Apr. 2nd, 2009 05:03 amIt was reassuring to see so many police around! Except they seemed to be...cordoning off the epicenter and that was really where he needed to be. He'd left his phrase book on the plane, and under question from three earnest officers he really couldn't remember the words for 'scientist' and 'biologic disaster zone'. They turned him away at the barricade.
He felt truly bad about one of the young officers catching on fire then, but even bad luck was lucky for him because he truly did need to be there. It was...very easy to sneak past the officers as they tried to douse their companion. Even for him. He was not a sneaky person, really, despite making it out of Japan.
Nor did he have any idea where he was going. The streets weren't laid out properly...
And was that a corpse? Oh...that was not good...though...it looked very unburned.
Okay...not it. Her. Ah, and she was breathing! Good pulse! Just...unconscious. What to do? This wasn't a safe place, no, not at all. He couldn't tell the police of course, they'd send him away. It took him a few minutes of fretting before he decided he should at least get her indoors. She would rest easier on a bed right? Yes, a bed...
Ah, well, the daily exercises certainly came in handy. She was small, well, mostly small, but he'd never carried a person before. It was awkward enough that he found himself apologizing every few steps. No one answered at the first apartment he found. Nor the second.
Oh...perhaps it'd been evacuated?
It seemed so much easier to kick in doors when it was seen on television. Americans made...very sturdy doors.
Eventually he found a door that had no lock. Or...doorknob. A real hovel. It seemed that it was heated with the large trash can in the middle of the first room. Fire. The second room had a bed though. A ratty nest of a thing but still much better than the pavement outdoors. Well...now...he'd wait? If she woke up she might know where he needed to go! After all, she had a gun! That meant an authority figure!

"Well, if the computers are up at all." she amended, glancing out the door. "My city's not at her best right now..."
