When: Tuesday, 30December, late morning

Broadcast
[Axel had spent a little time toying with the computers in Castle Oblivion, but the communications augment this place gave him is coming in really handy now. He spent about fifteen minutes messing with functions and filters and poked through the rosters to figure out which ship Riku was on--he never should have said Axel wouldn't be able to bug him from a whole other ship, because so help him, he's going to bug the crap out of him now. He was going to send a slew of annoying text messages to just Riku, but it'd be more fun to be obnoxious at his entire crew, right? Setting the filter for anyone onboard the Bloodsport, Axel decides that he might as well be educational while he's being insufferable. All texts appear to come from an anonymous source.]

Fire Facts! Everything you ever wanted to know about fire and never thought to ask! A candle flame burns at approximately 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, or 1000 degrees Celsius.



Action for anyone onboard the Tourist
[Axel is in the dining area, his feet propped up and a big sly grin on his face as he sends messages from his communicator. There's a plate of barely-touched (questionable) food nearby--he's really not sure about this protein gel stuff. Feel free to give him some pointers on how to make it more palatable. Or maybe ask what's so amusing, if you dare...]

I'd just find a way around it. These computers aren't so tough.

Did you know the bark of the redwood tree is fireproof?

[limitstorm]

Did you know I'm turning my communicator off?

[ blip. ]

[got_it_memorized]

Did you know you can still receive messages with the communicator off?

Glass melts at approximately 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

Liquid gasoline doesn't actually burn, it is first vaporized and the gas is what burns.

[got_it_memorized]

Lava can flow at speeds up to 62mph.

[got_it_memorized]

A room on fire can reach flashover temperatures in under five minutes depending on the building materials.

[got_it_memorized]

Lightning can reach temperatures of over 30000 degrees.

[This fact brought to you by Larxene.]

One time a string of firecrackers was lit for 22 hours for Chinese New Year.

A 'crown fire' is a forest fire that burns across the tops of trees, spread by wind.

[got_it_memorized]

A large enough forest fire can create its own weather.

[got_it_memorized]

A tornado that catches fire is known as a firewhirl.

[limitstorm]

Knock it off.

What have you got against education?

breathe in for 8 counts. hold for 8 counts. exhale for 8 counts. ]

[limitstorm]

Nothing, I'm just not interested in fire.

[got_it_memorized]

Bah, you really aren't any fun at all. Fire's super interesting. You know stars are fire, right? Come on, how can you not even be a LITTLE interested?

[limitstorm]

Fire's not more interesting than chocolate, or ninjas, or cats.

[limitstorm]

Or zombies.

[limitstorm]

Or vampires, werewolves, aliens...

[limitstorm]

Especially not more interesting than pirates.

[got_it_memorized]

How about ninjas on fire? And really? I'd pegged you for a dog person.

Zombies, though, that one I can get behind.

[limitstorm]

Maybe ninjas using fire.
I am a dog person. I've never had a cat, so it'd be interesting to know what they're like.
What, you like zombies?

[got_it_memorized]

I never had a cat, either. Tried bringing strays home a few times and got in trouble, though.

Dude who DOESN'T like zombies? Nobody I wanna hang out with, okay? Sheesh. Definitely the best scary movie monster around, hands down.

[Wait, when did this become like a normal conversation? He was just trying to be obnoxious.]

[limitstorm]

You didn't bring in the right stray, that's how I found my dog. They've got to be cute enough for parents to say that they'll keep them.
You'd be surprised.
Zombies are the best, vampires are weak.

[got_it_memorized]

Are you saying I have bad taste in cats? Rude.

Vampires ARE weak, they're totally useless for like more than half the day if it's summertime.

[Seriously, this is weird. It's like Riku is just a normal person or something.]
