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.

Jamie Dodger | calling perimeter guards / policers

So Dodger doesn't care about anyone else, with very few exceptions who he figures can handle themselves. He won't be helping to save anyone else, he'll be too busy trying to save his own room and important belongings - but he's gonna need some help.

Namely, as part of his punishment for breaking a ton of laws, he has a shock collar that enforces the rules of his house arrest. That means he's lost his strength, agility, fire resistance and teleportation.. and it also means he'll get a nasty shock if he leaves the walls of the residential building. Without Reaper coming over to escort him out, he'll be found laying on the ground a few feet outside the building, getting slow-cooked by his collar without any way of getting it off. Only a perimeter guard or a police officer will be able to take it off... but as soon as it's off he'll be taking off without so much as a thank you.

If anyone wants to be that rescuer, hmu! Otherwise, his dog may try to help people and I'm happy to play out threads like that that won't directly have Dodger in them. And someone please please save his pet fireflies...

Please stop putting yourself in mortal danger, Dodger. Shigeru's heart can't take it much longer. No, but, he will be here for the heals ofc if you still wanted to do a thing.
