everything's on fire
who: Everyone!
what: The residential building is on fire
when: ~2am, August 23rd
where: The Residential building
warnings: Fire, destruction of property, injury, general warnings for crisis situations

It's a reasonably quiet night, pleasantly dry with a slight breeze. Almost nice, for those that enjoy the hours after midnight long before dawn starts to creep on the horizon. Right until it isn't, when the air changes, and there's the scent of heat that promises smoke. In most places it starts with a flash of blue light that arcs from floor to floor as energy pulses through the building, and there's a crack of sound that follows. The power dies for a moment, and if you're one of the unlucky ones, the light that follows is a literal spark in the dark, burning to life in bright orange-red, yielding heat and smoke and trouble. The energy surge doesn't just hit the lights, but sparked flames that burst to life, and they catch quickly, spreading.
The worst of it starts on the ninth floor, where the smoke and the beginning of heat starts moments before the surge. The fire spreads faster there, people starting to startle awake and realize what's happening as the flames crackle. Eventually there's an announcement on the Network, both alerting people to what's happening and trying to organize both those that are willing to help and those that need it.
Some areas are untouched, while others are ravaged badly, reduced to ashes and crumbling ceilings, so watch your step. There's chaos, but through it there's people doing what they can to help each other, and the official fire services show up to help control the blaze. After that, it's just a matter of repairing the damage that's been done, rebuilding and putting things back together, seeing what's been lost and what was saved.
Even later, people start putting the pieces together, and there's the official investigation into what might have caused a fire like that in the first place.
[ooc: As promised, the residential building is on fire! OOC plotting post is here if anyone wants to work out some last minute plans before diving in. Plotting post also includes the relevant details. Elsewise, just top level and mingle. Try not to get burned too badly. :) Good luck!]

Jyn was heading up the stairs, a salmon in a sea of trout, but she'd gotten distracted by a little girl caught under a fallen board and it's wedged at such an angle Jyn can't pry it free on her own so she needs help and this huge towering man has drawn the short straw on being taller than everyone else and easy to spot.
"I need your help."
She doesn't want for him to agree, she just skitters back down the stairs toward the little girl stuck on the landing.
no subject
“I’ll move the board, you try to get her out.”
no subject
Satisfied that the child knows what's going on and some semblance of the plan, Jyn looks back at Illya with another nod.
"Alright, we're ready."
no subject
“I will count to three.” And count to three he does, right before he starts pushing the board up with a loud grunt.
no subject
"You're alright. You need to get down--"
The little girl rockets down the stairs without even letting Jyn finish the freakin' word, making her lips purse in faint amusement as she lets the instructions trail off, turning to look up at the human sequoia she'd approached for help.
"Thanks. For her." She gestures vaguely down the stairs.
no subject
Illya raises an eyebrow but doesn’t really look surprised at the girl’s reaction. Hopefully she will find someone she knows, or someone that will actually be able to help her. But he really doesn’t have the time to run around following her, there’s a lot more people to help and a lot of things to do to keep the fire from spreading. It’s already pretty bad, he’s pretty sure he lost most of his things in the fire.
Luckily for him, he didn’t have much to begin with.
“She was lucky you found her.” He then glances at Jyn. “Are you okay?”
no subject
There's something familiar about the way he's talking to her and it makes her shoulders stiffen with wariness, tipping her chin to look up at him. Someone would have found the little girl eventually, probably, Jyn doesn't think she did anything all that special, really.
It's instinct to keep kids out of the worst parts of life.
"Are you?" Ugh, why is she even asking a stranger that?
no subject
He says, a little amused and surprised that she would ask. But considering he still has some holes in his memory and he accidentally revealed as much over the network when he told people his real name it makes sense people would wonder.
“Was the fire anywhere near you when it started? I’m trying to figure out what actually happened.”
no subject
But that reminds her, she was going up before she got distracted by the little girl and she moves in that direction again, assuming that if the giant man wants to follow her... he will.
She also didn't tell him what floor she was on so naturally Jyn is being exceptionally unhelpful again.
