Post the Fourth: The Frightening Fires

[mysilenceknot]

[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..

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

If they are, then they are horrid excuses for firefighters.

[petite-devil.livejournal.com]

Then why don't ya do sumtin 'bout it?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

And what would you sugest?

[petite-devil.livejournal.com]

Maybe yer could go an' talk to those slackers~ Or get a bucket.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

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.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Do you know what might have caused it?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Not at the moment. However I highly doubt in this town it was an accident.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

So someone did it on purpose? W-why would they do such a thing?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

I couldn't tell you. But it happens.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

That's horrible!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Yes it is.

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

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

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?!

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

It seems someone has set the city hall ablaze.

[resoundingfang.livejournal.com]

...someone must be protesting something that occurred recently.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

If that is the case. I can not say I approve of their methods.

[grey-of-heart.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure that it's worth saving.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

That may be the case but all the same. Isn't anyone trying to put it out?

[grey-of-heart.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There were at least a dozen, maybe more, that were trying to put it out.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

That's a relief.

Still does this town not have a fire department?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

I'm going to do what I can to help.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

Do you think that is wise?

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

It's better than letting things just burn away.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

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.

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Are you sure?

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

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]

[eldest-hatter.livejournal.com]

Alright then. I will meet you outside then.

[mysilenceknot.livejournal.com]

[....he takes a glance down at his ankle]

I'll be there.
