Fire in the Residential Building Plotting

[krasnaya_vdova]

 

 

Okay, so! Hi there lovely people. This is the official plotting post about a fire that is soon to be coming to your local residential building. Post characters with whatever your intentions are, either as people in trouble, or people doing the whole operation rescue thing. But basically, Ava is going to be setting things on fire ~2am the night of the 23rd. She basically constantly represses/transfigures her powers, and a particularly bad dream is going to result in not doing that for a moment or two. Which is more than enough for her to set her room on fire, which quickly spreads to the rest of floor nine and then moves from there. Maybe the worst part, though, is the energy surge that follows, sparking fires and playing mayhem with the electricity for a while after.

To anyone that happens to be looking at the building at the time, it looks like a flash of blue-white light that fades into total darkness, then lights start to intermittently flicker back to life, so if anyone that moved out wants to put together that Something's Wrong, you are cordially invited to do so. It's pretty much an opt in sort of thing where some areas of the building are burning, others get surging lights or blackouts for the next hour or so, or maybe someone suffers the worst casualty of all: a destroyed coffee maker. Feel free to make things as bad or as minor as you like, from hospital trips to people who sleep through the whole thing. Even in shared housing it's totally possible for one side to be damaged while the other is unscathed. Just be careful of the smoke, and the fires, and maybe consider staying with a friend for the night. Thing will probably be a little chaotic, but no one in specific is forced into losing their room or anything.

Ava's going to be trying to help with the chaos, and official emergency response teams will get involved once it becomes clear what's happened. That said, all of you Superhero and/or Good Samaritan types have an opportunity to save people and help out. There may be a network post to ICly make sure that as many people as possible are aware of what's going on and anyone either trapped or injured can ask for help if need be, but there will definitely be an event log!

Bonus: There's going to be an investigation into the fire, so if any of you police or investigative or powers and magic types want to get in on figuring out what happened, that's an option too. And most of her CR is pretty welcome to put two and two together and make an educated guess.

Jon will be suited up as Superboy to help anyone in need, so if anyone wants to be rescued by a powerful but tiny child, he's here for you. He's also excellent for putting out fires as he has super breath and ice breath. And he can fly people out.

[spellslots]

i dont think taako has seen superboy in action yet so clearly they should run into each other at some point

[supersweet]

Yes, that'd be great!

[foreseeding]

he might offer a disguise spell for jon if he wants so that his ~secret identity~ doesnt get messed up

[supersweet]

Oh wow yes that'd be great

[foreseeding]

he still doesnt get the whole secret identity thing but he knows its important to the kents so he will help

[dothelokimotion]

It's a dc thing alas.

[unmakeme]

How about flying people in? Alternate title: Jon and Auntie Nat bond in totally irresponsible ways.

[supersweet]

He will totally fly Aunt Nat to the rescue.

[unmakeme]

You continue to grow on her, adorable helpful dual-identitied child. I apologize. This will not end well for you.

[supersweet]

It's fine, he's handled worse.

[unmakeme]

At least she can teach him how to lie properly. :P

[supersweet]

It is the most important life skill.

[unmakeme]

Look, there's not a ton she can teach you. That's a lie she can teach you everything. But she can horrify your father across the multiverse and make sure you can lie without missing a beat.

[supersweet]

The perfect educational experience. Teach how to lie like a Bat-person. Or better.

[unmakeme]

/gasps

How dare you. She won't teach you how to lie like a Bat-person. She will teach you how to lie well. She will teach you how to lie convincingly, thoroughly, and casually. Though... she will probably not phrase it that way. She's going to teach you how to protect yourself.

Aunt Nat is the best aunt.

[unmakeme]

It's really sad how much she actually enjoys little kids thinking she's awesome. She blames the Bartons for this strange development in her life.

[supersweet]

As someone who works with kids, nothing beats it.

Jon please fly a terrified Beverly out the window

[dothelokimotion]

Done and done.

[dancingmd]
