[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.]

[Um.

Was that...

it?

He tries it again, but alas, the canister is empty. Well.]
I don't know—

[He chucks the extinguisher aside and spins around, facing Rosette and Chrono again.] There should be another one on this floor! [ pointing at them!! ] Get away from the fire! And don't throw pans at it!

[And he races back out of Unit 304 as quickly as he'd come.]

[Not looking away from where Allen just disappeared, as the fire climbs behind her.

To Chrono:]


Do you know what just happened?
debtor: (FOOD ★ and my omelette!)

[HE RETURNS a minute later with another fire extinguisher! (That's two down, possibly more to come. The apartment complex might be in real trouble if there's another fire, but sacrifices must be made.)

What the hell are you guys still doing here dammit. OH WELL. Time to save your apartment!!]


I've got it!

[The second pin hits the ground as Allen braces himself and unleashes a stream of white foam in the direction of the fire this time! Vaguely!

It may or may not have been successful. But it's coating your cabinets and counter, at least. So you're welcome.]
soul_sister: (Aim)

THAT worked!

[It takes out most of what was spreading down the face of the counter and a little of the far surface. Quickly, Rosette crows and swoops in with wet towels, smoothering the weakened flames in that area.]

Chrono, the left! Kid, keep it trained near the door, don't let it cut us off.
debtor: (WIDE ★ backin' the hell outta there)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-08-12 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes the extinguisher.] It's empty!

[These things barely hold anything, evidently. BUT HE MUST KEEP HELPING.] Do you have more towels?
soul_sister: (IT WAS A GOOD IDEA. THEN!)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-08-14 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I've used them all and the rest are on fire!
debtor: (WIDE ★ whoa there)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-08-18 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[GRABS IT AND SLAMS IT DOWN ON THE COUNTER.]

I didn't know a microwave could do something like this!!
soul_sister: (I don't wannnnnaaaaaa)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-08-18 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[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.
debtor: (UM ★ it's a good look on you)

[personal profile] debtor 2013-09-02 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[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.
