Re: July 31st || The Fire Spreads

[nomorecowbell]

[With the fire spreading, Nanami had begged off running messages to help put out fires. She'd found Hari, who assured her that the house was Just Fine (for the moment), and pointed her at the nearest fire brigade.]

Hey, anyone got a water spell?

[she was only just starting illusions, but she could still duplicate spells she's seen. And maybe her class skills would help her find out some pattern to the fires that would let her find the arsonist.]

[dragonflame]

I can! It's nice to meet you again.

[She ran over, looking over the flames. Sure the people she had been working with were currently having problems, but she knew that instead of bickering among themselves, she wanted to go out and continue to help. She trusted the leader to take care of things around here anyway. Gripping her staff]

Waterga! [She unleashed a rather large ball of water, unleashing it on a wide area of the flames.]

Did that help?

[nomorecowbell]

[Nanami nodded]

Watch which areas sizzled. Those are real fire. If the fire doesn't react, it's illusion fire. We've been keeping track.

[her moogle held up his book to show that they had]

[dragonflame]

[She nods, taking that into account as she started to check things out casting water on those that she could tell were sizzling as she checks back.

Do you know who there is the illusion of fire?

[nomorecowbell]

What do you mean?

{Nanami thought she missed something there.]

[dragonflame]

[She felt like she might have been rushing things and didn't make sense. Taking a small breath she stops what she was doing for the meantime so she could be understood.]

I was wondering if anyone knew who was causing this illusion of fire.

[nomorecowbell]

Beyond the Empire? Not that I know of.

[Someone must, and it's no one on their side]

[dragonflame]

I see. I guess then we don't have an awful lot to go on beyond the fact that we know someone is causing this and the how.

[nomorecowbell]

Not unless more people keep an eye out for some kind of clue. Or I'm missing something.

[dragonflame]

I guess we can always ask when we see other people, maybe?

[nomorecowbell]

Someone has to know something about this. They can't be moving around and doing all this magic without a trace.

[dragonflame]

Unless they were not being seen? Maybe having a certain job.

[nomorecowbell]

Ninja can be invisible. And maybe illusionists can look like someone else, if they can make houses only look like they are on fire.

[dragonflame]

That actually makes sense. And there should be a way to know that.

[For now she just walks and deals with fires that she might think are genuine.]

If we separate maybe we will have a much better chance of finding something.

[nomorecowbell]

Maybe we can find whoever is doing this. Or at least which fires we don't have to worry about.

[dragonflame]

[She nodded slightly, looking over her shoulder if only for a brief moment.]

I hope we can... Before this whole situation gets worse.

[nomorecowbell]

If enough of us are looking...

[and if nothing pulls them away]
