POST ✦ ( OLD RAZZLE DAZZLE. )

A quick question:

What are the confirmed symptoms for spontaneous combustion?

I remember reading in some books that before some people exploded into flames and died fiery horrible deaths, there were reports of seeing sparks around the person before the combustion occurred.

Is this true or not? I really need to know right now. As in ASAP as in now as in really right now.

[ ooc; ainsley has been given the subset ability of her prestidigitation - triggering a shower/rain of sparkles and glitter and stars around her when she's happy. it activated today so feel free to have your character see this happening to her in public before this post came up! ]

[He listens, completely understanding. His own thoughts on the matter ran rather parallel with her own; the reality of it, even if no such thing has happened to him (yet), is a bit... well. Disturbing, to say the least. That physical changes can take place so suddenly, without warning. What did this mean for them in the future? What did it mean for them now? Unfair would be a proper word to settle on, and Ardyn wouldn't call her petulant for it at all.]

It isn't right. But you have friends to lean on, if anything like this ever happens again. Or if you still need help dealing with these changes.

[Friends like Ardyn, who will drop everything to aid her if need be.

At her question, he runs a hand idly through his rather windswept hair.]

No. Not yet. Knock on wood and all that. Only... memories.

[He jokes, though, trying to lighten the mood.] You think I'd look good as something other than a redhead?

[ she smiles at both the reassurance and the attempt to lighten the mood - she wasn't feeling too happy but it was enough to kick her out of her funk, grateful to remember that people out there were willing to drop by and check on her.

even at the risk of possible burns. which doesn't seem to be the case given how nothing burned down yet? hopefully it stays that way. ]

Oh- I don't think I have a right to judge hair colour! [ she can't help but cringe at certain memories coming to mind now. silly magazines suggesting hair dyes without telling the suggested amount to avoid looking like a neon stoplight.

the less that was spoken about her bright green hair, the better it would be for everyone period. ]

Besides- If there's anyone who can make anything work it has to be you. I mean you can pull off your current style right now! [ that is supposed to be a compliment somehow. ] You would definitely have a cooler head than I'm having right now.

[Compliment or not, Ardyn can't help but laugh at that.]

You're right, it does take an inordinate amount of talent to pull off this look. However, I think I would prefer for my hair to remain its current color for now; not that I seem to have a say in the matter.

[Don't tempt fate, Ardyn. You'll end up with weird violet-red hair someday.]

Besides, I think you're handling it quite well. The feeling of panic has worn off, hasn't it? Give yourself more credit.

Only after I scared you and everyone with the idea that I would explode.

[ now she just feels silly but it's a type of silly she can live with.

beats becoming a hermit in an attempt to protect people from fires or explosions. she presses a hand against her chest and sighs, more wistful and happy thanks to ardyn being here. honestly she couldn't imagine what it would be like if he wasn't here or wasn't her friend. it seemed almost too impossible to think of these days.

for some reason, she wants to make that known to him because… because it was suddenly just that important, you know? to let him now. ] Thank you for coming in to check on me. It means a lot since I know you and the others are willing to help.

I'll repay this back soon. Honest!
