One would think it would have been better to invite all the people of this area to the Hope hospital, but it seems that when a hand is held out, most choose not to take the chance given. So it was decided to hold a clinic in the heart of the Pearl Tenements, in an attempt to gather the most people possible that lived in the area. Hi-jinks and all manner of crime ran rampant in this part of Maruishi. Most went un-investigated, almost to the point of encouragement with the lack of care and involvement from authorities. The roads, once paved were so dilapidated it almost seemed to be of cobble base. The buildings, almost seeming to be falling apart,similar to the rest of the attacked city. It almost seemed this part of the city was darker, as if a cloud hung over it shading it from the sun then just a few miles away i the rest of Maruishi. Of course, that was just the overcrowdingly, over populated large broken buildings overhead. Though, this was well before the beast event that occurred. It just matched more appropriately, now.
The Pearl Tenements was in a huge black hole of criminal activity. This area pulling everything outside of it into it's darkened grasp. Crime before was bad, now it was so common, that money had such little meaning as a form of trade. Everything was exponentially priced, especially in this time of emergency. Bartering was the only thing left, and human lives were the greatest of value, though still cheaply taken. A stale loaf of bread was worth 6 hours of hard labor, a chicken, your first born. Everything was truly grim here in this hellmouth.
But, if one can fight back and help destroy the evils that originated all problems in Maruishi, a overly generalized possibility, then perhaps some alleviation could be had. That is what brought the team of Sabaku, Amatsu and Tao to the area. It was now day 2 of a three day quest to bring aid in the form of medicine, and food to the Pearl Tenements. Every citizen was asked to undergo a medical check prior to being given supplies. The first day was slow, and very little occurred, the people unsure of the whole thing. But today, the city came out in droves. Supplies ran out at two other locations, and were slowly starting to dwindle where our team was. People were becoming anxious, especially after hearing how the other two locations ran out of food. More supplies were on the way, but they wouldn't arrive for an hour. The next person in line was a woman with two children, one boy, the younger of the two, the other a girl. The boy was yellow in color, and seemed tired. The girl, dehydrated and suffering from a sprained wrist. The mother, was avoiding being looked at, insisting her kids be seen first. In the background, raised voices could be heard as another team was seeing to another family, with two older boys, their father, and uncle. They were being quite persistent on wanting to make sure they received some of the supplies, repeating that they heard other locations had problems.
