BURN
Okay.
So.
I can scream for help.
I can break the glass. (haha, yeah. Sure. Just magic up some super-strength like Drake. Right.)
Or … will the switch flip again?
Nope. It’s stuck. Perfect.
Anyway that alarm is off.
I’m just gonna … keep ignoring the glowing hearts on my arm. Why not?
I mean, ya’know punk. Why wouldn’t this happen? After all, I fell through like ten holes in reality and
Oh. Oh no. Nonononono How am I gonna use my talent? I don’t have any smoke. There is no smoke here.
Okay. Don’t panic. You had a good few years were you didn’t have smoke. Use that. Remember that. The safety net isn’t here but when has it ever really been?
I hear someone out there.
Okay. Here’s plan. Scream for help. And if not-help comes, it’ll still have to break me out of here before it can kill me. Rather die running than stuck in a cage cause I was too afraid.

SEARCH
Lets … see.
If I can pry up the switch … I think it would count as an intact object.
Then I can figure out why. I. Am. Here.
And – hopefully – where Burn is.
It’s … not budging.
I hit it. As hard as I can. Which is a stupid idea because that might break it and ‘bye-bye’ psychometry. Stupid.
… If I twist my shirt into a ball … I can make it fit between my hands.
No. No it is a stupid idea to take off my shirt in a strange place.
That has people and alarms in it.
But it is something to keep in mind for a safer time.
Now.
A strange rule of thumb that has served me … decently shall we say, is ‘when in a messed-up situation you can’t see escape from, ask yourself “what would Burn do?”’
I think it works because Burn is so good at getting himself INTO messed up situations.
Which is why I use that advice sparingly.
But, I think we can agree, this qualifies.
Burn always picks the option that attracts the most attention. I think it’s because he’s blind and likes making people uncomfortable. Uses ablism to his advantage, ya’know?
Or… Burn just likes the attention.
I do NOT want attention. Especially right …
… Creator help he’s already screaming I can hear him.
Well – on the bright side – I now know where he is!
Why. Why. Oh, WHY did I become friends with this disaster?

@everybody (@this-is-not-an-alien, @ethan-leonard, @rusted-knight, @ragnarok, @kimlikesart – that is everybody right?)
So I’ve enjoyed my stint as game-master but it has served it’s purpose. Now I need to *shudder* actually have Search USE it.
So, since this is @ragnarok’s character castle, I’m turning over this entire ‘game scenario’ thing to him and resuming focus on Burn and Search.
Thank-you for playing! Let’s see how our disasters interact.
The only note I have left for this is that all the supplies everyone picked up is in fact somewhere in the room.
I wonder if you can guess where… 😈
