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...

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?

[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]

[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?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

She put it out.

You really think they'll fix it for me?

[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.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

Weak?

[Elle holds up a hand full of sparks.] What, are you strong enough to do this?

[Weak damsel. Fuck that.]

[notrosesshadow]

[Martha's eyes widen in startle, but she's just a curious as startled.]

Now that is very surprising. How do you do it?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[Elle almost looks back at the fire damage but stops herself in time. Distraction? Yessssssss. Distraction...]

I generate electricity. It's a gift. Cool, right?

[She waves her hand around.] I can throw it at things, too.

[But since that was how the fire got started, she won't do that again. Yet.]

[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.

[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?

[beenunmade]

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

[greenisnteasy]

How hypothetical is the hypothetical fire now?

[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.

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

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

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

It isn't hypothetical.

I mean, it's not a fire.

Anymore.

We're good.

[notrosesshadow]

[Martha watches intently.]

So you're not human? Alien?

[rebelle-elle.livejournal.com]

[She cuts the sparks, offended.]

Seriously?

An alien?

((ooc: Btw, I love her expression in that icon, lol.))

[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.
