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!]

[ Her mouth opens as she sees Taako hop off because dude, the place is on fire, but the words die without her being able to voice anything because the elf looks completely okay.

Magic ?? ??

She snaps back to attention when he poses his question, and D.Va nods her head, humming an affirmative audible through the comms on her mech. ]


Yeah. At some point I gotta set it down and cool down— but I can work around it. What are you thinking?

I'm thinking we better cool off.

[God that was

bad

But he casts sleet storm, creating a swirling storm of ice that douses all the flames in the room, though the downside is that the floor turns slick with ice.

Taako turns back to Hana, flashing a grin.]


I'm gonna go do that to a few more rooms but I think I'm good on not dying. You wanna clear the rest of the building?

[ Hana isn't sure what he means until she sees the spell materializing in front of her, which is honestly pretty impressive and like, pretty as in it looks really nice and cool and

oh. she gets it.

god that was bad.

She's shaking her head at Taako as he turns to her, but the laugh says that she's still amused and honestly, at a crazy time like this, laughs are welcome. Taako gets a nod, and she lets go of her controls to give him the good old military salute. ]


Roger that! I'm gonna go check the other floors. Just let me know if you need a ride back down, 'kay?

[ She very, very slowly starts turning her mech, careful not to let it slip on ice though it helps that the mech was built to weather all sorts of conditions, but she stops momentarily so she can add, ]

Stay safe, Taako.

[ Before she eases into her boost. Team Hana away! ]
