so is nearly burning your house down another part of this messed up nightmare stuff or am i just special?

Who left you home alone?

what's that supposed to mean
i'm seventeen not seven

Clearly can't be trusted on his own. Maybe a babysitter next time.

look i wasn't even home alone
it happened last night while we were all asleep
it's not like i was playing with matches or something
i'm probably one of the best people on this network to play with matches anyway

Spontaneous human combustion is not a real phenomenon.

well apparently it is for me!

'SHC' is usually caused by cigarettes.

sure, maybe
except i don't smoke

Well, then, get on with it explain your adventure with lighting your house on fire.

not a lot to explain
i was having a nightmare about fire
and when i woke up my room was on fire
or at least my bed was?
because i was on fire

idk if this is a past me thing or what
i don't remember anything about this from past me's life
i just know i was immune before
not... this

uh i'm guess it's not the usual "left the stove on by accident" ?

on one hand, it wouldn't be surprising. on the other..... no??? are you okay?!

i wish
at least retrospec wouldn't be involved with that

does freaked out qualify as okay

freaked out qualifies as still alive
do i need to go fight maury

no no, i'm fine
it can't burn me so that's not the problem

the problem is that the fire was coming from me

[ ........... oh ]

....

well.

my boyfriend is hot

[ futaba ishiki, providing quality puns while he is too freaked out to think about it. he knew there was a reason he liked her. ]

i don't know whether to laugh or be offended that you're only saying that now

[ it's no wonder they get along so well ]

you weren't on fire before.

i mean i was for a little bit but it wasn't my fault that time

more importantly
are you saying i was never hot before??
because that
that stings ishiki

[ fire may not be able to burn him BUT SHE SURE CAN ]

this time

a l s o

how would i know i like you for your brain

[ he might be fireproof but she's going to combust into flames for posting that ]

THIS TIME it's retrospec's fault
i think

[ he's so surprised to read that - is she flirting? over the network??? - that one of his hands bursts into flames again, and he drops the phone with a startled yelp. when he's put out the flames (and singed his pants) and confirmed that he's only managed to melt the phone case a little, his reply is a few minutes late. ]

what, i can't have both?

magic powers?

my girlfriend's apartment burned down in july

just her house

nothing else in the apartment block

a miracle, but also it seemed like someone engineered hell just for her

so next time it's yours?
can you even take turns on this sort of thing

[ and GOD- she's just gonna be clashing red-orange tomato forever ]

well. I guess you can now that you've unlocked your special ability
