Please indicate where your character is in the subject line of your toplevel, and a mod will reply to conduct the investigation.

Of course not. But how are we to put it out properly? If you fight the fire, I'll see to Elizabeth, but if you can't put it out we're leaving...it doesn't seem like any fire suppression sprinklers have come on.

[ shijima at least pauses when bigby nixes running, or at least she pauses near elizabeth, squinting at the other woman. ]

...I am getting very tired of all of you being stabbed in the dead of night. Really, we need to stab the ones who keep doing this and see how they like it.

[tearable]

[ I'm so sorry for my sins.

Elizabeth is able to get up from her knees, but yeah - her side hurts a sharp pain but there's no time to really waste. She got everything she wants and with her items in tow. Her main concern was getting Alice, Shijima, Alfendi, and Bigby out.. but of course, things are definitely a fucking Mess. ]

I - I don't know! A-ah... shit, someone must have... nnn.. why didn't they just kill us? Shijima, it's fine... I'll - we gotta get this taken care of. It's not deep...

[ They're playing games and she hates it. She's ready to get the hell out but then Bigby wakes up and immediately try and bark orders. Fitting. ]

Hey! You're hurt, come on - we can -

[ Nope, he's distracted and Liz fucking throws another blanket at his feet to try and snuff the flame out. ]

Bigby!

[puffing]

[ his priorities are immediately conflicted when he finds that Elizabeth is the one that is wounded. it makes him realize he's not all too great at holding up his word of making sure she doesn't die. well. she didn't die, but standing around inhaling smoke that isn't from a cigarette isn't going to help her condition.

all of the screaming makes him neglect the fact that his leg is especially warm, and it's only when the cover touches his leg does he realize what was going on. Bigby growls and shakes his foot to try and put it out, but he's pointing his finger towards the door and glancing at Shijima. ]

Get Liz out of the room and make sure she's gonna be alright! Come back when you can.

[ he's so used to being demanding, so feel free to shut him down. sorry, not sorry. either way, he looks around desperately to try and confirm how this fire has happened.

is there a clear source? did it come from something electrical such as an outlet or gas? or was something specifically lit on fire to cause it to spread? ]

[liven]

All right. Leave the room if you can't stop the fire, Bigby, or I'll be rather annoyed with you. Elizabeth, let's go. He'll come after us whenever he's finished...or we'll come back, yes, when we are.

[ she'll help support liz out of the room as much as her tiny self will because honestly. this plan sounds fine. bigby is used to smoke and also probably will not sacrifice himself for the room portion of room seven. ]

I imagine he'll focus better if we're not all standing around.

[tearable]

[ Bigby is fucking reckless but then again, so is Liz. As she's helped out, she's looking back to Bigby in a rly cute way like from the movies - scared it may be the last time she sees him ok.

But, as they exit, Liz finally takes a step from Shijima. ]

You have to go see if - if the others are alright. Anyone else, even if you don't like them. We can't have any other deaths here - we just can't.

[selfdenying]

[Just pretend Alfendi has been cursing up a storm for the last several tags because that is pretty much all he can do, coming to his senses...well, because, like Elizabeth, he's been stabbed too, but in his left hand. The blood is pouring out of it as he presses his notebook to himself with his unwounded hand like he's a drowning man clutching a lifesaver in the middle of an ocean.]

Who the hell did this?! Was it that Steve kid, with his idiotic idea of a bomb?!

[He's going to move towards the exit, certain things clanking against each other in his coat pockets as he shifts. He's in pain, he's sick, and everything is on fire. What a great day.]

Bigby, don't be an idiot! Do you even have a way to stop the blaze?

[liven]

[ oh my god mom. ]

Do you intend to hold yourself hostage against my good behaviour...?

[ by which she means...is this like a qualified to letting shijima patch you up, liz ]

[tearable]

I intend to - nnn damn it - try and find any who needs help -

[ Aka she'll eventually run to fucking find dead bodies and barf everywhere, rip. She does nearly topple over though, fuck. ]

We have to stop having you take care of me, you know. You'll think - nn, I'm a mooch.

[liven]

More like I'll think you're good at being injured...

[ but it's not like she is big enough to force liz to be seen to. ]

Oh, very well. If you won't stay still to let me bandage you, there's not much I can do about it, but you'll be the one explaining that to Bigby.

[tearable]

You all chased him around like ducklings, did you not? He is in no room to discuss my behavior!

[ It's not like their dating or anything. ]

[liven]

He eventually let us see to his wounds...but as I said, you get to argue with him, not me. That's my condition to not chasing you around. Also, you really should at least tie a makeshift bandage on...

[ lord save her from human beings ]

[selfsufficiency]

Tie something on. I don't want you bleeding out because you were stubborn, Elizabeth.

[Alice, once again, agrees with Shijima! And no one was surprised.]

[ The source seems to be a blanket that's mostly burnt at this point, but was clearly doused in something as an accelerant. The location of the blanket itself wasn't specified and doesn't really matter, so you can make that up! ]
