Post the Fourth: The Frightening Fires


[Is gazing down at the flames of City Hall. He HATES fire.]

What-

Where is the fire department? Don't they realize what is taking place? I...I swore I saw one....This is just terrible!

[A deep sigh as he stares still and mumers without realizing it]

The world is certainly not quiet here.

Maybe they're on a coffee break, or sumtin..

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
If they are, then they are horrid excuses for firefighters.

[identity profile] petite-devil.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Then why don't ya do sumtin 'bout it?

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
And what would you sugest?

[identity profile] petite-devil.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe yer could go an' talk to those slackers~ Or get a bucket.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
If I can locate them, I will be sure to say something. though I doubt they will listen

...I believe it would take a great more then a bucket to put that inferno out.

Do you know what might have caused it?

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Not at the moment. However I highly doubt in this town it was an accident.

[identity profile] bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
So someone did it on purpose? W-why would they do such a thing?

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I couldn't tell you. But it happens.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes it is.

If we're fortunate then no lives will be lost.

[identity profile] bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yea...I do hope that everyone remains safe.

[He never pays attention to anything given his inability to successfully return home, so to his surprise, he stumbles upon city hall being like this.]

Wha... what happened?!

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems someone has set the city hall ablaze.

[identity profile] resoundingfang.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
...someone must be protesting something that occurred recently.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
If that is the case. I can not say I approve of their methods.

[identity profile] grey-of-heart.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure that it's worth saving.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That may be the case but all the same. Isn't anyone trying to put it out?

[identity profile] grey-of-heart.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. There were at least a dozen, maybe more, that were trying to put it out.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a relief.

Still does this town not have a fire department?

[identity profile] eldest-hatter.livejournal.com 2009-11-04 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to do what I can to help.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you think that is wise?

[identity profile] eldest-hatter.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's better than letting things just burn away.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.
Fires should be put out before they spreed...

[There is a long pause. He doesn't want to do this, he doesn't want to do this
...the last thing he wants is to run towards a fire but...]

I'll come with you.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-05 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
If I can be of any help it is my duty to provide it. Especilly when it comes to fires.

[Even if the thought terrifies him]

[identity profile] eldest-hatter.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Alright then. I will meet you outside then.

[identity profile] mysilenceknot.livejournal.com 2009-11-06 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[....he takes a glance down at his ankle]

I'll be there.
