[failures]

[The feed opens to a very sickly Larry, who is covered in a mountain of blankets. His skin his flushed, and he's visibly shivering and sniffling. Basically, he's been dealing with a killer fever for a few days now. And with all of this weird power and mutation business going on, something's crossed his mind more than once. He decided to take to the network about it.]

So uh... [sniffle] Has anyone else gotten really sick but didn't get freaky powers and stuff? 'cause I've been sick and really cold for forever and a half and I feel kinda cheated...

[And just as he trails off, he starts coughing. And since he's Larry, he doesn't cover his coughs so he tilts his head to get it out of the way.

Just when he thinks he's done, one last cough comes out...and so does a gob of fire.

He stares down off-screen where the Ember attack landed, frightened and in awe at the same time. Did he seriously just cough up a fireball?]

... Never mind.

[Still staring, he then realizes oh god fire in the bed FIRE IN AN INN. As he dives to put the fire out, the feed cuts out.]

[So, Ur's alright which only leaves Larry to check on. Barney heads back to the inn to do just that and as he approaches the room...oh god is that smoke? Does Larry have powers too?]

Larry? You okay bro? Do I need to get a fire extinguisher or something?

[action]

[failures]

[From inside the room, Larry responds in a panicked voice,]

Yes! Grab anything!

[action]

[usedsuitup]

[Leave it to Barney to overreact. He grabs a nearby fire extinguisher, breaks the door down with it, pulls out the pin and is ready to spray.]

Larry? You okay, get your head down!

[action]

[failures]

[When Barney enters, he'll see Larry trying to jump on the fire with blankets. Panicked, he jumps out of the way when Barney calls for him to get down.]

[action]

[usedsuitup]

Fire in the hole!

[Not really checking to see if Larry got out of the way, Barney lets loose with the fire extinguisher. Well, at least the fire's out. Too bad about the hotel room though.]</small.

[Oh wow. He's seen a lot of things when helping people at the Centre, but... this is a first fire cough.]

... were you able to put the fire out?

video

[failures]

[Larry's response comes a while later, and his room doesn't appear to be in ruins...]

Yeah. I just had to throw my blankets over it and jump on it. My blankets are kinda ruined now, but at least the inn didn't get burned down. [He laughs sheepishly.] Good thing, 'cause I don't think I could afford that kinda damage.

video

[itsudemoissho]

Yeah... I think it would have been a rather large bill to pay if it had spread any worse than that... but good thing you acted quickly.

video

[failures]

If I didn't, I'd be one charred dude right now.

[Since...he was wrapped in the blankets that were on fire. Yeah.]

[itsudemoissho]

[...]

Well, that would have really helped with the cold feelings, huh?

[Maybe a joke is a good thing to say in this situation?]

_{[Henry stares in something that's a mix of horror and fascination before blurting out an unhelpful,]}

Man, that sucks.

[video]

[failures]

[What are you talking about, that was totally helpful!

Larry responds once he's put that fire out. He still looks like hell, but he also appears to be in a better mood.]

'side from the unintentional indoor fire, I'm just glad I have something now.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

What are you gonna do now?

_{[Henry knew exactly what he would do with fire powers. Cook all of the hotdogs. All of them.]}

[video]

[failures]

I dunno...see what I can do with 'em? Maybe I can roast some marshmallows with just my fingertips! That'd be sweet.

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry's eyes grew wide. Larry almost read his mind!]}

Oh, yeah, yeah! That's perfect! And you could fry bacon and everything!

_{[If Heather sounded any MORE unenthusiastic, she'd probably be dead.]}

Welcome to the Fire Club.

Here's your free self-inflicted burn injury.

[Video]

[failures]

[Larry is thankfully not badly injured when he responds, but wow Heather, you look like hell. He can relate.]

It got you too, huh? Please tell me you didn't burn anything down either.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I've incinerated like five pillows and one turtleneck.

_{[And was eventually going to blow up a hot dog cart.]}

[Video]

[failures]

Ouch. Well...could be worse?

[Larry don't jinx it.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Yeah, I GUESS I could just be permanently ON fire. THAT'D be worse.

_{[GRR ARG. >:(]}

[ Well, she was making her way to the room, with some soup, of course, when...

Uh... ]

Guess the soup can wait, uh? Are ya alright?

action

[failures]

[The fire's out by the time Ur gets there, but Larry looks pretty shaken up as he throws some of the charred blankets by the trash can.]

Yeah...kinda. Was it this scary when you got your powers?

action

[forhishappiness]

[ It's fine bb, she will help you. Even if they kinda repel each other BUT UR DOESN'T CARE. ]

Heh, first time dealing with magic, just try to calm down. When I got mine, I was outside, so I could control 'em easily.

action

[failures]

[Yeah...when Ur gets closer, Larry feels even more cold. But he stays there as long as he can handle because what the heck sickness he doesn't want to be repelled by Ur. :c]

Calm down...yeah, I can do that. I didn't just cough up of a fireball or anything.

action

[forhishappiness]

[ Don't you wish your girlfriend was cold like me? :c ]

It's fine, really. I'll help ya to get used to 'em. Remember that whatever Johto throws at us doesn't last forever, 'kay?
