[ IF YOU CAN FLEE FAST, YES.

You may get some more burns for your trouble though. ]

[steampunked]

[o-ow my everything. Runninggggggg aughhhhh 8(!!1]

[brotagonist]

[THIS WILL TAKE CARE OF MY NEXT HAIRCUT D|]

[dramatispersonae]

[ k you are no longer in danger of being BURNED ALIVE but you've run back into the field of flowers with your.

corpse.

bits. ]

[steampunked]

[now we are far enough away I am just gonna kick a couple of flowers so there's space and then collapse on the ground. wurgh.]

. . . ouch . . .

[brotagonist]

[yes :( MY JACKET IS ALL FUCKED UP and some skin burned wrrgh, though not as badly. drops the... corpse bits...]

How bad are you?

[steampunked]

[examining her metal finger for damage :|a has a burn on that hand, sooo.]

I'll live.

[brotagonist]

How do you fight something like that...

[sounds more thoughtful than discouraged despite burns :|a tries arranging their green corpse buddy so he's in the right order and all his parts are touching, at least.]

[dramatispersonae]

[ . . . you definitely have the makings for a little green man from mars... ]

[steampunked]

[sits up on her elbow to watch . . .]

My usual tricks are out. What're we missing? His head and his leg?

[brotagonist]

Didn't that asshole scorch his head and leg already?

[steampunked]

Then if we're supposed to be putting him back together, we've got a problem. Maybe if we can get the head back off the thing we could . . . do something for it . . .

[brotagonist]

How? D'you think that pillar was important?

Ugh, did you see what he did to the ground...

[steampunked]

Yeah, I saw. I think putting out that fire's important. It's probably what's keeping him going. Now we've got a safe place to leave this guy we should probably sneak back and see what he's doing now.

[brotagonist]

...leeet's get him a little further away first, but yeah. Are your burns bad enough to slow you down?

[looking her over :|a]

[steampunked]

I'm fine, burns are burns. It was mostly the rampant limiter dizziness slowing me down last time. I don't have much juice left.

[brotagonist]

Damn. D'you think you could knock that little bit of wood off the top of the pillar? I don't have anything to throw.

We don't really have anything to put a fire out with, either...

[steampunked]

Yeah, I've got enough for that at least. That's just a pull.

[brotagonist]

So that leaves the fire.

[steampunked]

Mhm . . . it's too bad we don't have any way to transport gravel this far. We could've used that to put it out.

TWEET. ]

[steampunked]

[. . . huh. Dragging herself up to look around!]

[dramatispersonae]

[ A METAL SPARROW IS PERCHED ON A FLOWER :B and tweeting at you. ]

[brotagonist]

Hey, bird.

[...looking around to see if anything is following the sparrow to them...]

[steampunked]

[keeping her attention on the bird]

... hi!
