002 || Elle Bishop || [video, morning of Day 4]

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle appears on screen, and though she's in focus and still, the light behind her seems to be flickering, and there's a crackling sound in the background.]

Okay. So let's say, hypothetically, that I was looking at the camera and it sparked or something and I started- and then a fire magically appeared.

I mean, like, not a fire. But, you know. Um.

Anyway. Never mind.

Does anyone know how to use the fire extinguisher? Because I finally got clothes I like [and even though she knows this could potentially qualify as an emergency situation, she takes a second to drop her wrist to show a low-cut blouse] and don't want them to burn.

Not that they would. Just. You know. If there were a hypothetical fire...

[notrosesshadow]

You didn't start a fire that happens to be crackling behind you... and you don't know how to work a fire extinguisher? Do you have a fire extinguisher?

Not the right question... I would suggest grabbing your favorite clothes and leaving and telling me where you are so that we can extinguish the fire.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

Is there a fire- [Elle looks over her shoulder.] Oh. That's nothing. That's just... [Getting bigger.]

[She holds up a fire extinguisher.] Found it in the kitchen.

And fine. Come on over and undo it. I'm by the woods. You should kind of see it. Just... kind of follow the fire that I didn't start.

[DID NOT START. GOT THAT PART? DID. NOT. START.]

It's still kind of small right now anyway. It shouldn't take long.

[notrosesshadow]

[I suppose I'm supposed to change this to action?]

[Martha doesn't answer as she's over right away. Fires, as they do, tend to spread and luckily for Elle, this one hadn't gotten very far by the time Martha was there. She grabbed the fire extinguisher and set it out only one heart-stopping moment.]

[Sweaty and coughing, she finally makes her way back to Elle.]

Fire extinguisher lessons. You really don't know how to use one of these?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle stands out of the way and lets Martha work, and she does so with the ease of someone who has had other people clean up her messes fairly often. As a matter of fact, she's about to leave when Martha comes back.]

Do I look like a firefighter to you?

[notrosesshadow]

You look like an able-bodied and able-minded person who's stuck here along with the rest of us. So come here. We're doing a lesson. It's all quite simple.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle's pretty sure she's the only one who can hear her groan, but the face she makes is one she means for Martha to see. It's not the most polite face by a long shot.]

[Nonetheless, she goes back over, dragging her feet the whole way.]

Fine. Simple. Show me.

[And now she's just going to cross her arms and pretend they don't function anymore, because there's no way in hell she'll ever do anything remotely like work. Like touching the fire extinguisher again. It's a dangerous precedent to set.]

[notrosesshadow]

Come on. Unfold your arms. You're not a weak damsel.

[Martha held out the fire extinguisher.] You can't learn without doing.

[plaidsamurai]

[Voice~]

Did you two get it out? Kinda curious to see if whoever is keeping us here will replace a whole building... or part of it at least.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

She put it out.

You really think they'll fix it for me?

[plaidsamurai]

They've replaced beds an' cameras... why not houses? Should be interesting.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. I need to destroy stuff more to see if it gets rebuilt and stuff.

[plaidsamurai]

There you go. [Smirk.] Place suddenly ain't quite as bad.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle smirks right back.] You should come over sometime and help me damage some property.

[plaidsamurai]

[He raises an eyebrow still smirking.] Might be fun. Paint the town red and see how much they replace. Might take you up on that offer.

[thezerothlaw]

You're unharmed?

[He's anxious, but it seems like everything's sorted itself out, which is... good.]

Is this a danger that might present itself again that others should be aware of?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I'm cool. And it's totally taken care of now.

Unless you know a magical way to get rid of the smoke smell.

[beenunmade]

Does the hypothetical fire pose a hypothetical threat to our living space?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

It's posed a hypothetical threat to mine. You know. Hypothetically. But um. It's done now. Hypothetically.

[greenisnteasy]

How hypothetical is the hypothetical fire now?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

It isn't hypothetical.

I mean, it's not a fire.

Anymore.

We're good.

[greenisnteasy]

[It's a good thing he's fluent in Hypotheticalese.]

That's a relief. Maybe, if there'd been a fire.

Are you okay? Do you need any help?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

I'm good. Except for food. I'm always willing to let someone help me when it comes to food.

[Speaking of...] Have you seen any slush-os around anywhere?

[greenisnteasy]

Slush-os?

[Must be a brand he hasn't heard of.]

No, but if you have a blender, some ice, and some kind of flavoring -- soda, fruit juice -- you could feasibly make your own.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle gasps and sticks her face closer to the screen before realizing she can't see any of the stuff there.] And your thingies replenish?

Where are you? I'm coming over. Are you in the same place as last time. Do you have the blue kind? What about the red kind? Never mind. I'll see for myself in a minute. Where are you?

[greenisnteasy]

[He laughs.] All our thingies replenish, so yeah. Come on over. I'll see what's in the fridge.

[And he doesn't think he's got any 'red' or 'blue,' but he saw some grape juice and some ginger ale.]
