A Request

[purple_pliers]

Excuse me! If I could have your attention for a moment -- I'm looking for any fire-users who would like to volunteer their services. As you can see, I have a series of clothes set up here. They're meant to be fire-resistant. All you have to do is burn them down. In return for your help, I've got a selection of inventions from snowshoes to gorilla

Why would you want to burn fire-resistant clothes? Isn't that besides the point?

[its_the_mask]

Point in this case is to make sure they're fire-resistant.

[second_tonone]

You'll just wreck a perfectly good set of clothes!

[its_the_mask]

Better than finding out the hard way that we should have packed an extinguisher.

[second_tonone]

Are you planning on walking through fire?

[its_the_mask]

We're hoping to avoid that actually. Violet and I want to climb the volcano, we want to make sure we've got a reliable and flame-safe exit if we need one.

[second_tonone]

Why would you want to go up there?!

[its_the_mask]

That's more Violet's idea than mine.

[second_tonone]

You have to have a reason to go up there.

[its_the_mask]

We want to look around, gather data.

[second_tonone]

What kind of data would you get from a volcano that's useful?

[its_the_mask]

Activity levels, lava flow, stability -- that sort of thing. Normally if a volcano appears in the amount of time this one does, it's a sign of emminent erruption.

[second_tonone]

What do you mean, "amount of time"?

[its_the_mask]

Let's just say it showed up rather suddenly.

[second_tonone]

It's a volcano, those take years to form.

[its_the_mask]

Not this one.
