Who: Mikleo (& Sorey!) and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Huntress & Iskaulit
When: now! Bam!


( video; morning )

[The communicator glitches itself on with an intrusive beep, displaying the occupied captain's bed of the Huntress, which at this hour is just a pile of blankets and a tousled head of brown hair; there's a bump that indicates another body, but none is visible on the camera. The noise causes a bit of stir, followed by a muffled sneeze and a groan. The sneeze carries with it, oddly, a spark.

A moment later, a glimmer of a small flame licks at the fabric around the shoulder of the brown-haired occupant.

Silence.

And suddenly the blankets jerk upright, and Mikleo's voice comes through--]

Sorey!! Wake up, you're on fire!

Nnnno ‘s just warm...

Wh- seriously!? That's your... ugh, hang on, I'll-

[Mikleo gestures invisibly, summoning water to douse the flames, but it isn't water that comes out. And now the bed is really on fire--]

….AAAAHH!!! What, what!?

AAAH, WHAT?! [Sorey jerks awake and that’s when the camera gets smacked around, tumbling onto the floor for a view of him screaming at the fire and trying to beat it -and something else?- with a pillow.] Fire! Mikleo, fire-!

I know!! I know!!

[CLICK- dead air.]



( action; huntress & iskaulit )

[If you happen to come across Mikleo for the next several days, he's stalking angrily and purposefully around, probably grumbling about the Atroma and their delightful meddling. Instead of the usual blue tinting the tips and curves of his hair, it's a soft auburn, the tips sliding into a gradiant of reds and pinks. He's on the hunt for distractions, and oh, is he ever cranky about his new look.

He's also leaving little spark trails behind himself, still not in control of his new element, so... maybe tell him, so he doesn't set anything important on fire?]



(( mikleo is augment-glitched into a fire seraph! laugh at his pain. both sorey & mikleo may respond to the first part! ))

[... Something about this seems very, very wrong. Maybe it's the fact that the goddamn water spirit is setting stuff on fire. Belth might not be able to see anything on the feed but flames, and yet the context is obvious.]

Sorey! Mikleo! Are you all right?!

[Surely they can use the fire extinguishers... wait, does every ship have them? Now he's not so sure.]

D-do you need help? I have water magic! It isn't as good as Mikleo's, but--

[The feed's gone, though, so they'll have to see this later.]

Please let me know if I can help.

[tsunergy]

[It's a while before any response comes - they're quite busy - but when the communicator finally clicks on, Mikleo sounds a lot more annoyed than panicked.]

Better late than never...

[Fire is so inconvenient when it's not in Lailah's capable hands.]

voice.

[airily]

[ A little bit later, once he's sure all that flame has died down. ]

Uh. You doin' okay?

voice.

[tsunergy]

[omg dad you're useless]

What do you think!?

voice.

[airily]

[ hey you handled it. ]

A glitch, huh?

[tsunergy]

Looks like it.

[and he's SO. ANNOYED.]

What a sick joke... are they trying to get someone killed?

[deviances]

[ YIKES. THAT LOOKS BAD. ]

Holy shit! Are y'all okay?! What happened?!

video

[monolike]

[After a moment Sorey shows up, somewhat singed-] We're okay! We're fine, I-

Actually, uh, Eithan, would you...be able to come over to the Huntress for a bit?

video

[deviances]

[ Goddess, you guys...! ]

Y-Yeah! 'Course. Uh, be right there!

[ ZOOM. Luckily it won't take him long to shuttle over and start down the hallways, looking for any sign of either of them - or uh, any burn marks... that might be a kind of trail-marker... ]

action

[monolike]

[Sorey grabs him in the hallway, only slightly singed.] Hey, Eithan! Uh I was gonna have you help with something, but um actually let's go over to the cargo bay instead. Is that okay?

immediately after the post-

[monolike]

[Frantically grabs the blanket to muffle the flames when reaching for his own power of water through Mikleo yields nothing.] Mikleo, what happened?! Why the fire- augh where's Lucen- Lucy! Lucy are you okay boy?!

[tsunergy]

I don't know! I woke up and this happened!

[Mikleo is right there beside him, trying frantically to pat the flames down to muffle them between the rumpled rolls of fabric. It's weird- it should hurt a little, but he doesn't feel it at all. At least there doesn't seem to be much of it left, since they'd caught it quickly enough.

From the corner there's a flash of black and white as it zooms under the bed- the kitten isn't gonna come anywhere near all the shouting and he can smell the fire.]

[monolike]

[Sorey coughs on the smoke, climbing down off the smoldering bed and shoving open their door to let some of the air out...geez. Fans that smoke toward the vents.] Was that me?? I can barely feel Lailah right now, I dunno what happened...

action!

[tempredmental]

[Keith was pretty sure that was smoke he smelled when he got back to the ship. He knew that smell well. It wasn't hard to follow, either, to where it was the strongest. He knocked.]

Mikleo? Sorey? You guys okay in there?

[The door didn't feel hot, so maybe it had been put out already? He hoped so.]

[tsunergy]

[There's a long pause before the door cracks open, and there's Mikleo looking angry and frazzled, his now-brown-and-red hair messy from all the flailing around.]

It's... fine. We handled it.

[It smells of lingering smoke behind him, but there's no wafts of it in the air, at least. It was a pretty small fire.]

[monolike]

[And Sorey, from inside the room:]

Luc- Lucy, buddy, come out from under the bed. Mikleo, I can't reach him.

action wtf u guys

[privateeyed]

[he doesn't care, really, he absolutely doesn't care and that isn't why he's at the door to their room to knock or anything, shut up]

The fuck are you two doin' in there?

[a pause]

You better not be burned alive or I'll be pissed.

[maybe he cares a little]

shrug emoji

[tsunergy]

[Mikleo huffs behind the door, calling out rather than opening it yet.]

We're fine, calm down! It was... an accident.

[Why oh why did it have to broadcast...]

[monolike]

[OPENS THE DOOR, for the sole purpose of teasing]

Ben are you worried about us? That's really sweet, I promise we're okay!

[hollystrike]

[Honestly she's not sure whether to be alarmed or vastly entertained. Can she be both?]

...do get back to me if you haven't burned to death.

[She is more concerned than she sounds, I promise.]

[tsunergy]

[KATIE PLS]

We didn't burn to death! It was just a small fire!

[hollystrike]

Alas, such a disappointment! Did you at least toast some marshmallows?

video;

[aspearing]

[ That's... alarming, to say the least. She replies as quickly as she's able to, hoping that she's able to reach them. She speaks loudly, yet calmly - a habit she's picked up when it comes to dangerous situations. ]

Are the both of you alright? [ Please, be safe. ]

[tsunergy]

[They sure stepped in it with that accidental broadcast.]

We're alright, Alisha. Sorry to worry you.

[aspearing]

No, it's quite alright. It's relieving to hear that the both of you are safe.

What exactly happened? Fires don't just start on their own.
