"As for buildings--I'd say we should avoid them entirely if we can. If there's any aftershocks even buildings that seem safe probably won't be." She said sensibly.

"Agreed." Omi spoke shortly after she spoke. She appeared to be getting along well enough. Omi was afraid he'd slow her down, not in vice versa. He calmly navigated around piles of concrete. The only place he knew of that could give them a vantage was his old apartment complex. That was in the heart of the city, probably hit the worst by the looks of things. What kept bothering him was that no one had come for them yet. Surely this would've gotten out by now. People had working cellphones. Though Omi didn't have his on him he was sure someone got a message out.

Think bigger Omi. See the whole picture. The voice whispered.

Always so cryptic. He continued to walk feeling slightly foolish at the vantage that occured to him. "We could always go to the industrial area, warehouses are sturdy enough. Plus we might get a good vantage." Omi's only issue with that idea was that there was no food or water in an industrial area. Unless if they struck gold on a food packing plant. Omi couldn't even remember if there were any in the vacinity. He shook his head and thought back to the words that had been itching at the back of his mind.

Think bigger?

Omi frowned quite suddenly at the horrible thought that had just occured to him. He must be going insane. The theory brewing in his head was mad. What if we weren't the only people that got hit? Omi had asked himself the question that had been lingering in the air for quite sometime. The eruption couldn't have affected the whole world. What if the event they were experiencing was the tail and of a catestrophic chain reaction? The thought was morbid, he dismissed it to the amusment of the presence.

"Then again a collapsing warehouse wouldn't be too much fun to be around." Omi spoke from both optimistic and pessimistic perspectives.
