Backdated because I was Outta Town, Video

[fierybluebird]

[Marco is standing near a giant building on fire, looking for all the world, like the girl in the meme. You know de way the one. His hair is deep deep dark red. Someone take a billion pictures, because Grell isn't here to stop him or enjoy it for Valentine's Day.]

Oh gee.

[Deadpan. ABSOLUTE FREAKING EMOTIONLESS DEADPAN.] It sure would be a shame if a bunch of useless know-nothing two-bit crooks refused to be helpful or clean up their acts, and then left cigarettes and booze all lying around. I guess we better start adding fire safety to the district. [ S M I L E. ]

I hope other idiots take this as a lesson to start cleaning up after themselves, or they could always start answering questions. Otherwise we might see a whole spate of fires wherever suspects of missing person cases were! That'd be just terrible!!! [He's not even trying to act with it, allllllll deadpan.]

[ooc: Grell has been kidnapped. Marco is taking it... so well. So very well. With blood red hair symbolizing hatred and everything. So. Well.]

[There is just. The longest sigh.]

I'll get a bucket.

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

What if it's too big for a bucket, yoi?

Oh, if only our grand leader knew what to do!

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

[......]

Which grand leader we bitchin' 'bout at the moment?

[Dray is scared of fire, so this isn't exactly a plesant view for him. He tries to sound calm when he replies, though.]

Someone innocent could get hurt if the fire spreads, you need to be careful. What prompted all this?

Video

[fierybluebird]

Good thing deputy guardians are on the scene.

Like I said, yoi. They left a bunch of cigarettes and booze around. Recipe for disaster. But if they can't be bothered to be useful and answer simple questions, they can't clean up after themselves either, eh.

Video

[mother_of_monsters]

Are they fireproof?

No, I understood your explanation for the fire...[Even if he didn't buy it, because he wasn't stupid.]...but what questions should they be asking?

[Video]

[ Oh wonderful, another lovelorn type is threatening to lay waste to Everglade.

Remilia is not amused to be sure. Oh, she will arrive before long with an impromptu fire brigade in tow. ]

Perhaps you could start by not reducing Everglade to cinders!?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

One building does not a city make.

Good thing you're here though. No matter what I did I only seemed to manage to keep it from spreading. Such a tricky thing, fire.

Re: [Video]

[scarlet_devil]

You are fortunate that it hasn't spread further. Not that I intend on allowing it the chance.

[ Cassian's lips are quickly turning red with anger too, he's all but vibrating with fury as he watches the video. He needs a moment to calm himself enough so he will not just yell at Marco but... Well, let's be real, deep breaths or not it won't be long before he's yelling at Marco.

For now he's making do with a look of utter loathing. ]

Or maybe Everglade law enforcement could be doing its job instead of this show of gross incompetence.

[fierybluebird]

[GLANCES AT BROS.]

Shit, am I law enforcement?

I'm the popo?!?!

[Arm fold.] Nah, I quit. Someone send a higher authority to arrest me.

[captain_by_the_book]

[ Yeah, he's just sending him an amused look. ]

If I had authority over Everglade I would.

[ He will, in fact, try to contact Grell and demand she puts a stop to this. ]

[Video]

[hot_as_fire]

Umm... we didn't start the fire? It was always burning.

[Since the world's been turning... but you know... Ace might be playing with matches... and just lighting those one fire too.]

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

How long has the Everglade been on fire anyway?

[Video]

[hot_as_fire]

I don't know, but I know how long it's been smokin' and that's since I got here.

[What... were you expecting a different answer? Nope, Ace has gotta turn it into an innuendo flirty thing because... he's a derp.]

[Video]

[grizzly_teatime]

So Marco... I see you monkeys have discovered fire. Am I to assume this has something to do with your [horrible wench of a] wife?

[Video]

[fierybluebird]

[GENTLY TUGS ACE'S FLUFFY HEAD INTO VIEW AND RUFFLES.] Yes, we did. [TONGUE OUT.]

Why don't you find Grell, and you can ask her yourself?

[immortalrose]

[This ominous message definitely wins a curious glance from Augustine. He knows nothing or what's happening here and isn't even sure if he wants to know at this point. However, curiosity is a dangerous vice.]

Well now, that most certainly sounds like a threat.

video

[fierybluebird]

Does it? [DEADPAN:] Someone should do something about that.

action

[thatched]

[he is wearing a hoodie and so his hair color will forever be a mystery. He will even sacrifice his beauteous pompadour for it. He finds Marco, it isn't hard, and perches beside him, wrapping an arm around his shoulder]

You seem a bit on edge, boss.

action

[fierybluebird]

I'll be all right. No word?

video;

[orlokbutterfly]

I hope that's not anywhere near Holy Diver.

[Because he's going to have some words if it is. His dull expression seems to be matched by his eyes and face markings alternating between a silver and a gray color.]

What's this about?

[Not that he's accusing a former employee of causing that fire, but... he's definitely accusing Marco of starting that fire.]

video;

[fierybluebird]

Nah.

[No worries, he loves you Gale.]

[He does however, have to keep up the act.] I don't know what you mean! Although surely Grell would have enforced fire safety better if she wasn't being held up, aye???

The last person who tried to burn the city down got a giant hole through his chest for his trouble. Not saying your rage isn't justified, but there are better ways of finding information. All this is going to do is make anyone who knows anything useful go that much deeper into hiding. And if you keep burning the place, someone's going to step up and knock you down. That's not meant as a threat, just a friendly warning - there's always a bigger fish.

[ 8| That would have gone over better if Marco's favorite little pyro wasn't made of fire, and then literally murdered in front of Marco via a magma hole through the chest while Marco was too incapacitated to stop it. ]

[And if protecting said pyro wasn't something Grell and Marco had repeatedly sacrificed A LOT for.]

I'm keeping the fire from spreading, but I will absolutely start on torture and murder, and no amount of hiding will prevent me from digging up the worst of all five cities. Punch a billion holes into me, each one will just be one more body I can use to make it very VERY clear my vengeance is SO MUCH WORSE than the expected minimum: trying to be useful.
