Group 3 - will match format

Sway to the left and right

[The plan worked but it isn't over yet. The moment the storm is over and the dust has settled Shiro calls out orders.]

Alright, let's get this underway. I'm going to scout above the city and call out any damage or problems I see.

We need to work fast just like they said.

[Opens his duffel bag and takes out a long series of belts and straps. He lays them on the ground and steps into the center. He shifts, turning to light, then, the Black Lion. The straps and belts slide into place and he bursts up into the sky.

When people call for pick up he arrives with a roar to announce himself. He drops down and settles, lowering himself to the ground.]


Hop up, put your feet in the straps on my sides and secure the belts. I'm going to take off fast. Keep flat to my body and it should be okay. I won't let you fall.

[True to his word he calls out any spots of trouble and drops down to brace any building that starts to sway. He's as careful as he can be when he uses his bulk to hold things up.]

Hurry...I can only brace this for so long.

Don't fear the Reaper.

[Thousands of people laying out like cordwood on a beach. Shiro sets his battery down along with his duffel bag. He's prepared to fly the trouble cases over to the tent. He sinks down and immediately sets to work. Some come online as fast as his arm had.

Others he lays out the riding harness and changes shape. He carefully picks up the battery pack in his jaws and mentally reaches out to anyone close by.]


Hey, if you've got anyone that needs to go to the tent, bring them to me. I'm big enough several can go at once. I'll instruct you on how to belt them in.

[It becomes a routine. He flies back and forth, descending in a gentle guide and barely kicking up any dust. The hours pass just like this. Until-]

Field work.

[He'd forgotten he has a time limit on his shapeshifting. More importantly, he had forgotten the warning signs before he even hits the limit. His own hold on his emotions had frayed and he'd felt like an alien trapped inside the metal and...he'd had to stop being the Lion. Shiro takes over a spot in the first aid tent.

Working methodically over the more difficult cases slows down his pounding heart and settles his mind. The Below grounders instructions are interspersed with static and breaks, and that requires patience to navigate.

Shiro calls out sometimes, urging the nearest person to hold down the android he's working on so he's free to reach inside and keep working. Other times he can instruct others or offer his own hands. But he's always working while he's in the tent, eyes narrowed and focus entirely on what he's doing.]


Wild card
