Why are there so many damn fires. [Granted, Shinji's only actually caught sight of one fire in progress.

But when you have fire-related trauma, one is 'so many.']

And how the fuck are any of them sticking when it just rained all fucking month, I guess. (Don't say 'magic.')

ugh i KNOW

[ guess who has also only spotted one fire in progress. ]

it's not great!

[fruitknife]

Watching shit burn is overrated.

[foolaround]

it sucks and i haaaaate it

[ after a beat, she flips this to private. ]

you're okay, right?

[disasdeer]

Because where people are burning them things have dried out enough to burn.

[ guess who set one ]

[fruitknife]

That was fast. [Why tho.]

[disasdeer]

You said not to say magic.

But it's magic, man.

You're right, it's strange. It's still far too damp for anything to spontaneously combust.

Where is it? [Why yes, she may intend to go investigate.]

[fruitknife]

Not in the middle of town, at least, but otherwise I don't remember. Still gettin' used to the layout. [And he kind of... short-circuited when he saw a burning building. It was better not to linger.]

[patchricide]

That's good to hear, but it does make dealing with the fire that much more difficult.

Do you remember anything that might help? What did you head out to do?

[luminatus]

'Cause magic.

[fruitknife]

Yeah, no shit.

I'd make some sort of crack about how hot it is, but even I can't joke about things on fire.

I didn't think it was that dry out. That's not good.

[fruitknife]

Damn well shouldn't be that dry out.

[Whiiiiich probably means they're deliberate fires. Cool. Thanks, Shinji hates it.]

[damn_kitsune]

Whoever was behind it most likely had some kindling stored away and kept dry. It just seems like they decided to use it in a more "interesting" way.

[fruitknife]

'Interesting.' That's a word. [It's even a word that this guy used.

Better not've been anyone in there, that's all I gotta say.

Want a drink?

[You know how he died in other timelines. MAYBE you know about his burning Mt. Hiei.]

[He doesn't know about you, but a drink sounds nice.]

[fruitknife]

...You know, for once I won't say no.

[konpeito_aji]

Only for once?

[Texts him the bar Mitsuhide works at, because if you're going to drink and be emo, have the man who kills your AU self serving drinks. FLAWLESS LOGIC!!!!]

[snaccs]

I wonder if they're related to this vote.

( it's the only thing he can think of, anyway. how troublesome. )

[fruitknife]

...Maybe, but I doubt it.

[As of when he voted (mostly to shut up the reminders because he doesn't know enough about the situation), open hostilities weren't a very popular choice.]

[snaccs]

( on the other hand, the people who are in favour of hostilities... well, not to be judgemental, but Maruki wouldn't be entirely surprised if some of them would start fires. )

In that case, do you have a theory?

[zunge]

probably because they're coming from inside the house

[fruitknife]

Not funny.

[Sorry not sorry, fire trauma makes the rules here.]

[piercedyourheart]

hate to say that its probably magic
but whatever the cause is itd be nice if they stopped
trying to go out for anything right now sucks

[fruitknife]

I know it probably is. Doesn't mean I have to like it.
