Miyako leans over towards Ryoshi and Varen, corralling her errant Ditto with one arm.
"It's good to see people like you two helping with reconstruction. I wish there was something I could do, though."

"Do not cut yourself short. The country has plenty of work that needs to be done, if there are those willing to assist."
Use knowledge of local reconstruction programs to suggest a suitable task the group might be able to assist with.
It's just the statue of Hachiko at Shibuya Station. It's not at all surprising that it survived, to be honest. There does not appear to be anything unusual about or around the statue. A small group of teenagers is loitering around, chatting, but they don't seem to be anything more than average teenagers. Since the subways went down, nobody's really trying to use the station, so there are only a few other people milling about. The time is currently 7:05 P.M.
(5) - There are several nearby options:
There's a rather large apartment block that completely collapsed, and removing the rubble has proven an issue: the whole place is infested with digletts.
The local hospital could always use more volunteers. There's been some sort of odd disease running about.
General construction crews are always looking for new hands.
"Well, I know of an appartment complex in the nearby area that has suffered from a collapse from escaped pokemon. They need people clearing rubble, tending to the injured, and clearing out the pokemon responsible for it's destruction."
"I was about to head there myself. You're welcome to tag along if you wish to help."
"That sounds doable. Shall we head over tomorrow?"

A note: It is getting into the evening now. Any construction work will not be continued until tomorrow morning. Saves electricity that way.

Maxwell, finally take his break from working at the cafeteria. He serve himself some food and search for a table. The cafeteria is rather crowded and many peoples don't speak english. Too shy to pick a table at random, he walk between the tables hoping that somebody will ask him to sit with them. Or something like that. He just doesn't to insert himself in a group or have an akward conversion with some guy that can't understand a word of english.
"Odd diseases?" skeptically asks Dr. Shen. "And I suppose I will go to treat the unfortunate. With construction stopped for the night, it should be easier to do these duties."
Picking up his cane and motioning for the others to come, he requests to go to the apartments immediately. "There's still time, so we shan't waste it."
"Well, if there's people in need of treatment I guess I can help. And it's not like I have anything better to do. Let's go."
"Mimi, bag, please." The ditto obligingly scoops up Miyako's gear and forms itself into a backpack.
"And I agree with Dr....?" Miyako gestures at the doctor. "Those people aren't going to get any less hurt on their own. We should go now."
"I'd like to, but I'm afraid that I don't know much about medicine."
"Well, we'll go, and you can meet us there tomorrow, I guess."
Miyako picks up her Ditto-bag and scrambles out after Dr. Shen.
"Miyako Kurosawa. I'm a medical alchemist, but I've been unemployed for some time. Nice to meet you, Dr. Shen."

After waving goodbye to Miyako, Varen quickly turns to Ryoshi. "Oh! I just realized that I forgot to tell you my name. How rude of me. My name is Varen Selith."
"Hello Varen. I am glad to meet you."
"This might be ab odd question to ask, but do you have suitable lodging arrangements? I know a good few of my classmates have been put out of home due to the collapse. And who knows, I might have some things lying around that would interest a physics student."
Jack uses his camera to shoot several snap-shots of the station. Then, like the loyal dog immortalized outside it, he waits, carefully keeping an eye out for unusual activity.
"Glad to meet you, too. Now that you mention it, no, I don't have any lodging arrangements. I figured there would be some sort of campground for relief workers."
There are plenty of such camps, and you know of several sites nearby: finding a place to stay will not be difficult.
Nothing happens for hours. Some average people pass through, but nothing more than that. Once the sun is all the way down, the traffic cuts off almost completely. There's one dim streetlamp up.
At around eleven PM Jack sees someone walk up to the statue. American, by the look of him, button down shirt with tie, jacket slung over one shoulder. He's rather non-descript. He is carrying a small box under his arm.
He looks at the statue for a bit, and then looks directly at Jack.
"You can come out now, Agent Heel.
Scene switch to Dr. Shen and Miyako
The hospital is, as expected, overcrowded and understaffed. The lady at the desk lets you in as soon as she gets a look at your licenses. You are set to work immediately, mostly fixing broken bones, infections, and burn wounds.
(1) The one-room apartment is cramped, dirty, and has peeling wallpaper in a atrocious shade of green. There are cockroaches and mice around the floorboards and mold up by the ceiling. The floor is completely covered in several stratigraphic layers of dirty clothes and fossilized snack food. The bed is just a stained, bare mattress with a stained, threadbare blanket. The cupboards and fridge are filled with a mix of cat-food and raw meat, which has been sprayed-down with some poleepkwa concoction to cut down on flies, but actually makes the smell of rotting meat worse. You're also in a neighborhood that shuts off the electricity at 8:30. Might want to get moving.
(5) Dr. Shen uses some handy memetic agents he's picked up over the years at the Foundation to extract the following information from one of the head doctors: One of the patients has been vomiting profusely ever since he arrived ten hours ago. This is bizarre for two reasons: one, he should have run out hours ago. Secondly, the expulsions are a semi-solid jelly, translucent black in coloration, with no actual food content apparent. The patient has been quarantined, and samples of expulsions kept for testing. The rest has been incinerated. No further anomalous properties have been found.
"I can't imagine why you'd choose a camp over your home, but I have no qualms with it. I think the best campsite nearby is…"
