Network: Leave Me Here, Burning With You

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.

That's certainly a useful skillset, in the right circumstances. Especially for the more martial situations here. This place is not sparing with the life or death situations.

also immortal. so death situations arent an issue.

[bloodalwaystells]

That would make you particularly well-suited, then.

I've encountered a few in my own world that might have been immortal, but I never knew for sure. The lore is not always the reality, though some things are very difficult to do any lasting harm to.

And here, I suspect the price for such gifts is very, very high.

[canofmanji]

can be. i dont have a problem scaring people but not a fan to go out of my way to do so.

[bloodalwaystells]

There is a difference between maintaining a presence and being crass about it. An air of competence and professionalism is very important. Scaring people or drawing attention to your presence, not so much.

Didnt have to mess with any of that stuff back home. people just knew to be afraid of me back there. maybe i just need to make a name for myself here.

[bloodalwaystells]

I'd advise against gathering too much of a reputation here. Being feared does have some advantages, but given the situation here, it might also cause far more trouble.

[canofmanji]

dont worry. im not actually planning on doing something like that. i got other ways of freaking people out if i really need to.

[bloodalwaystells]

Well, we all have our talents, I suppose. Just be careful, things are dangerous enough already.

[canofmanji]

i try not to be, but ill see what i can do about being careful.

[bloodalwaystells]

The best we can do here, I suppose.

[Along with a mental note to keep an eye on Manji, because, no, he's not especially reassured.]
