Network: Leave Me Here, Burning With You

Who: Andrew Jaeger
Username: a.jaeger
Warnings: cw: fire damage/injuries, mention of death




Hello. For those who don't know me, my name is Andrew Jaeger and I'm involved in the Investigation and Security divisions of ADI.

I wanted to make the group aware of some work I've been doing on a string of fires. Due to past incidents involving the Desolation, I've been keeping an eye on reports for arson and other suspicious fires, matching them to the modus operandi of the Avatar we know as Pyre. These recent reports caught my eye, particularly as they seem to be moving toward Massachusetts from the original incident in New Haven, Connecticut.

Specifically, the situation is this: the popularity of "fire shots", or lighting a shot or cocktail with high alcohol content on fire, has led to injuries and four deaths in the area, and reports of a patron ordering several fire shots and then vanishing. One bartender has claimed that she witnessed a man drink a still-flaming shot right in front of her.

Right now this is unfortunately spotty, but I want to keep an eye on it. The proximity, the spectacle, and the unfortunate fatalities are worth noting. I'm happy to accept any questions, comments, or other information for my file- if I can make a concrete case for further investigation, I'll submit it for action. Otherwise, it will be filed with ADI as a case to be watched, since Pyre is still unaccounted for and a credible threat.

Thank you for your time.

I agree. I had a friend do quite a bit of digging online and he couldn't find anything that related particularly to violence or destruction in Pyre's past except that family members met untimely ends, but that could be due to exposure rather than direct influence.

That said, he is an avatar and worth noting, if not worth chasing.
Let me know if I can help.


[With the noting or the chasing.]

Ah. And this is why sharing information is better.

[Despite what his upbringing might have ingrained in him.]

I would be happy to do so. Finding activities to put my mind to besides learning online is something I've been craving.

You are wise in this. I agree.

My skills lie in termination, as you know, as well as information extraction and intelligence. My specialty is alchemy. I am working to expand that to chemistry, but I would offer it to your use if it could help.

I can imagine.

[Alchemy, at least, only required chemicals and reagents. Divination, to his mind, still required a certain amount of magic power to be accurate. Something that might or might not work here on top of whatever other consequences might be found.

But the rest makes him smile.]


I will happily follow your lead, this is your venture. Thank you.
