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.

No one is stopping you from helping, dude. Get your ass in here and help her carry people. Also how about you don't mention the fact that you're the one single person in this city who can probably guess just how badly she's freaking out deep down?

She is not going to ask you for a hug. She will probably hit you if you try to hug her. Hug her anyway she's really going to need one she wants to cry.

He can handle some punches if it actually helps her, he will be pretty quick to put two and two together and guess why she's freaking out

Illya, you are a son of a bitch good. You are a good. She is going to be super grumpy at you because damnit she just ran in and out of a burning building a bunch of times in a sports bra and a pair of shorts and she's pretty sure she has soot behind her eyelids. But you are a good. And maybe at some point way down the line she will be able to thank you for not letting her be alone even when she tries to make you go away.
