Rating; G
Characters; Open to all!
Summary; The light shows in the Square were provided by your Deities along with the booths and eats. The large and growing pyrotechnic display? Not so much.
Log;

[Colorful festival lights sure do illuminate up this long, dark night. They shine brighter in the Square making it the epicenter of the Chinese Lantern Festival. With the later hours booths have appeared. Vendors have their light wares on display. A delicious meal is only feet away at another booth. The tents glow with the carnival and electrical games. Except with every gust of wind that shakes the canopies of the booths and spreads the smell of food.... sand slips on in.

When the LEDs meet the tiny, pesky grains sparks ignite. And there can never be just a little sand. The large, impressive halogen light dragon, near the Carousel across from the Fountain starts to spark! Fire is also a bright and impressive light. And what starts out as a small flicker starts to swallow up the festival! It grows to be as large as an Olympic pool, small in the Square but a hazard!

The Deities didn't start the fire but they intend to put it out. Mouse with every squeak and shrill lament is frying circuits and trying to salvage what decorations she can. The ever practical Laszlo takes to the extinguishers leaving Lina to stamp and shout flames into submission. Sabine bids the dirt to rise up and smother the fire. The fire is well and truly fought in a half an hour time by the efforts of the City Fire Department, the Deities and any who wish to join the cause!

What's a little fire though really? The show will go on!]


[ooc; Feel free to log festival enjoyment or fire fighting!]

She's only doing this because he hasn't tried to eat her for a few hours. A new record, honestly. The redhead hurried to Ed the moment she spotted him, grabbing his arm and pulling him in the direction of somewhere safer.

"Really, Ed? Seriously? Are you trying to get hurt? If you're going down by fire, it's going to be mine." Well, so much for that nice moment. Still, she's still pulling him away from it, towards a part of it that the Deities had already put out.

"Jealous, Charizard?" He smirked, but let himself be led away; right. Fire bad. Stay further away next time, lesson learned.

"Do you know what the hell happened?"

...With the fire, not Ed's questionable decisions.

"The decorations caught on fire," Charlie said, trying to not make it obvious she's making sure he isn't too badly singed. At all. Anywhere. She's checking herself, too, so it's no big deal. Her shirt has a few singed marks on it, her skin is a bit red in spots but other than that? She's awesome.
socoolbrewster: (ohhh that's a good one)

"...I'm fine; you look at me like that any more and I'm going to start worrying you're trying to undress me with your eyes. It's not like there's not precedent."

Translation: stop worrying so much, McGee, it's putting him on edge after the curse the other day, Ed just...doesn't know the right way to go about saying that so instead he'll just be an ass some more. Because that's appropriate, apparently.

But he's right regardless; he's got some minor damage, mostly singed skin and clothes, but what's physically altered repairs itself quickly enough, and the rest isn't particularly bad.

Why would you go there, Ed? Why? What's wrong with you? She just frowns at him a moment, remembering that damn Curse from the other day and then there is a bony fist heading towards his shoulder. Ungrateful asshole. She just keeps moving away from the fire, still keeping her eyes open for anyone that needs help.

"You really shouldn't have mentioned the flaming dragon earlier, Ed. I think it gave someone ideas."

...Ow. Except not really. Instead he just smirks smugly, more amused than anything else, and follows.

"Well I didn't know that when I said it. Maybe you should tell people that when they first get here instead of pointing it out after the fact."

"What if someone wants to say something interesting, though? Like...it rains money for an entire weekend?" She's eying a particularly red burn on the back of her arm, frowning. That's going to need attention at some point.

"...Okay, I guess you've got a point there. But still. A warning covers your ass; 'be careful what you wish for, sometimes it happens', that kind of thing."

He watches her carefully, not obviously, but...aware enough; it's always helpful to keep tabs on the health of prospective dinner, after all.

Enough of the fire is out that Charlie feels a bit more relaxed, still watching it. A glance around the area informs her that there are enough people now to help anyone that needs it.

"I dunno what your plans are for the evening, but this whole day has been eventful enough to last me a good long while," she says as she turns, heading back towards their apartment. "I'm going to bed unless my room also has a giant hole in it." She's just way too tired to give a fuck about the hole in her kitchen at the moment.
