Fire?!?

Who: Diarmuid Ua Duibhne ([personal profile] smallspot ), Cu Chulainn ([personal profile] beforetights ), and anyone who wants to respond to the fire alarm/sprinklers.
Where: Room 2-17, Building One
When: Afternoon on 10-18
Format: Starting in prose, but please use whatever you want to reply!
Summary: Two little boys, two puppies, and a stove. What could go wrong here? (Please note that the fire will be small and quickly put out by the sprinklers, but there will still be smoke and the alarms to deal with. Oops indeed...)
Warnings: Cuteness, puppies, fire?

Edit: Lotus ([personal profile] beforetights ) is having some net issues currently thanks Murphy so she has asked that we have the boys responding separately instead of in a rotation like we originally planned. That way threads aren't held up. Sorry for any confusion!


It's a perfectly innocent scene. Two little boys who just recently adopted each other as brothers--one black-haired and one blue-haired. Two puppies--one grey and one white. They are playing in the living room of the apartment as little boys and puppies do. They were doing something earlier, but whatever it was has been forgotten in favor of playing with the puppies who are more fun than anything else could be.

What is this thing that has been so thoroughly forgotten? That would be lunch. To be specific, it would be the soup sitting to cook on the stove. Diarmuid has been shown how to make it in both the microwave and the stove, but he had opted for the stove even if the microwave would have been safer for two little boys. The microwave has no fire, after all. What is fun about watching food cook in a metal box? Not that even having the fire to cook food over had stood a chance against the appeal of a pair of puppies.

Unfortunately, having been forgotten means that the soup is boiling on a burner that is turned up too high without anyone to realize something is wrong. That is, until the smoke alarm goes off and, immediately after, the sprinklers in the apartment follow suit causing Cu Chulainn to yelp in surprise and Diarmuid to look up from his playing with wide, startled eyes.

Oops...


(OOC: Please post who you would like to respond to your reply--either Diarmuid, Cu Chulainn or both. If you don't put anything both boys will respond by default. Feel free to include event shenanigans if you would like!)

[He reaches to grab Diarmuid's hand.]

No. Stay. It could be dangerous in there if you go all by yourself.

I don't want to be better if you're gonna get hurt!

[He starts crying again. Partly because he's frustrated, and partly because his eyes still hurt. One hand goes to rub furiously at his eyes, as if that would make them less red.]

But they itch and hurt...

[He squats down and hugs his knees. Then, he tries to rub his eyes with his shirt.]

And my throat is dry and I'm thirsty...

[He just wants to go somewhere where he can get some water.]

I don't know. We can try...

[He turns his face in the direction of his room.

Okay...but come back if you see any fire.

[personal profile] beforetights 2013-10-28 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! You're back!

[He grabs the water and towel from his brother.]

My room wasn't burning, was it?

Really? That's amazing!

[He stands up.]

Let's go back inside! I wanna see if the bad guy left our things alone!

[personal profile] beforetights 2013-10-29 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
You too. I don't want you to start feeling bad at all!

[He dabs at his eyes again. They're still rather red.]

[personal profile] beforetights 2013-10-29 08:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[He grins.]

Come on! Last one in there is a runt pig!

[personal profile] beforetights 2013-10-29 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And I'm a puppy, not a pig either!

[However, he still run a little slower than Diarmuid because his eyes haven't completely recovered yet.]

That's right.

[He reaches to hold Diarmuid's hand.]

We'll enter together and hold hands so no bad guy will dare mess with us.

[The house looks no different from when they had run outside. The smoke is gone, but the mix of smoke and water has coated everything in some sort of black slush. Things like the melted pot and the broken chair lie where they were before.]

...I don't think there's anyone in this room.

[Then again, he still can't see well.]
