[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?

[itsudemoissho]

[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?

_{[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.

[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.

[action]

[failures]

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

Yes! Grab anything!

[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

[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.

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

Welcome to the Fire Club.

Here's your free self-inflicted burn injury.

[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!

[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

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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!

[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.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

I've incinerated like five pillows and one turtleneck.

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

[itsudemoissho]

[...]

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

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

[video]

[failures]

Dude, that would be the coolest! I'm practically a portable campfire, stove, and grill all in one!

[What is even happening here...]

video

[failures]

... Point. But I'd rather be cold than burnt all over...

[Video]

[failures]

Ouch. Well...could be worse?

[Larry don't jinx it.]

[action]

[failures]

[As fire extinguisher foam settles after the fire is out, Larry peers out from behind the bed. A big glob of foam sits on the top of his hair like a scoop of ice cream.]

Uh. I think you got it.

video

[itsudemoissho]

I think a lot of people would agree with you on that.

[Though speaking of the cold and powers...]

Is your throat alright? I mean, you coughed fire...

[action]

[usedsuitup]

You sure? You're a hazard now, so we have to take every precaution.

[The power that comes with wielding a pressurized device.]

[Video]

[foolishwren]

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