[Today, two unforgivable errors were made: the first, he let Rosette use the kitchen.

The second: He let Rosette use the kitchen.

When the feed blinks to life, the serenity of the figure facing the camera is directly at odds with the thunderous cacophony in the background. Chrono just smiles blandly at his unseen audience as a terrible burst of sparks makes itself visible in—is his back to the apartment's kitchen?]


I just had a quick question. [He might as well dive right into it, as a crash echoes around the apartment. He doesn't even flinch.] Does anyone here know how to repair electronics? A microwave, specifically? I think apartment number 304 could use your services.

[It's here that Rosette comes into view, hurdling around the corner as smoke billows in her wake; if Chrono were actually looking, he might think it seems appropriate for Rosette's definition of an entrance. It's unclear whether she's addressing Chrono or the tablet (even realizes he's talking to the tablet) when she bellows FIRE! THAT'S A FIRE! It's very likely the former based on how the serenity of Chrono's smile twitches into something that speaks silent danger for someone.]

Quickly, if it isn't too much trouble? [The feed doesn't cut off; evidently, his quiet fury is such that he completely forgets to turn off the tablet before hurling it across the room to go perform some manner of intervention.

It lands facing a ceiling that is growing increasingly smokey.]




action.

[Anyone who actually approaches apartment #304 will find an impressive cloud of black smoke billowing out of the open door that smells distinctly of burnt electronics and scorched metal. Rosette's voice will make itself known second, shouting about how the kitchen is out to get her and this isn't her fault.

If one actually ventures into the abyss (which speaks volumes toward a capacity for bad decisions, by the way), they'll find a frantic teenage girl and a long-suffering little kid trying to determine the best way to put out an impressive electrical fire.]

[He shakes the extinguisher.] It's empty!

[These things barely hold anything, evidently. BUT HE MUST KEEP HELPING.] Do you have more towels?

[GRABS IT AND SLAMS IT DOWN ON THE COUNTER.]

I didn't know a microwave could do something like this!!

[Allen's valiant efforts keeps the worst from spreading any further... until a young man starts eating the flames right off of the counter...

Rosette slumps against one wall waving away the smoke in a somewhat futile gesture.]


Neither did I.

[Eating. flames.

Well that's... something.

Allen decides it's best if he doesn't focus very hard on it.]


But I don't understand... microwaves don't even use fire to cook, how did it start one?
soul_sister: (Aggro)

It's possessed!

It's the only explanation. This wasn't an accident, it was an exorcism.
