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 think the full power of the Entities would be catastrophic in either world. If the world could even *sustain* that kind of horror without crumbling. We only see glimpses of it and that's bad enough.
In my world, just the influence of the Powers causes the fabric of reality to warp. Haunted objects, strange weather or gravity patterns, poltergeist activity and other malevolent creatures that are drawn in by the corruption.

Sorry, it seems you know all this as well or better than I do. Habits are hard to break.

Going from scavenging at the edges of society to having a 7 billion person fear buffer would probably cause plenty of problems that could be considered catastrophic, yes.
That does sound similar to what we've seen here. Strange items. Places that aren't right.
No need to apologise. I have done the same more times than I can count.

That's assuming the same...corrosive influence as in my world, mind you, but I don't think it's a far stretch. There are a lot of other things that are very similar. It's not exactly encouraging, but on the other hand, it's nice to see that my expertise still applies at least somewhat in the process of investigating and reacting to things.
It might not always be the best career choice, but it's something I'm good at, at least.
no subject
The corrosion of reality isn't something I think anyone else would really be equipped to notice or even understand.
no subject
I think reality unraveling in the way I'm accustomed to would make itself obvious enough on that scale. From just feeling "haunted" to the laws of nature completely rebelling.
I woukd really prefer not to find out, though.
no subject
There can be a lot of small details that can easily go unnoticed. Connections that might be vital but are easy to overlook.
I would definitely prefer not to encounter any more than I already have. I'm rather fond of reality remaining in the shape it is supposed to.
