What else?
That is, he had been scavenging before distracting himself "building" again - without a real result in mind, just working, briefly distracted by a wave of frustration by remembering one revisiting of the Marketplace that revealed his lion sculpture was no longer there, whether it was deconstructed or simply moved, simply taking pieces, locking them together as if he were just building a castle of cards.
He knew that everything was burning when, also like a castle of cards, the whole thing was blown down with a brilliant bang.
Fire had burst behind and through the stack of scraps, towards him, and the force brought it all down on him.
He'd taken one step back in what his mind had seemed to slow to bullet time, turning back to run from the burst of flames, when a beam had struck him in the back, knocking him flat on his face, and then he was pinned, hearing something crack in his back as he was being weighed down by more and more pieces of hot metal, still touching the flames, burning hotter and hotter, searing through his black coat and into his skin -
With an almost roar, he tore himself out of the pile, one arm clawing along the ground and the other painfully trying to lift some of the weight until he could just barely scramble out with white-hot scrap ripping at his back. He consciously converted the pain into an energy burst as he sprinted with a small but temporarily ignored limp toward the elevator, only to fall back - and, embarrassingly enough, onto the floor - when a wall of flame blocked his way.
He tried to pick himself right back up, a horrible sting assaulting his leg like it was being stuck with a needle forcing him right back down onto his lacerated and searing back, another snarl of pain - and horror. Why couldn't he get himself to move? He looked frantically around, seeing bursts of flame had erupted everywhere, burning closer and closer.
He tried one more time.
And felt inexplicably weighted down by something else.
Something was surrounding him, blocking his vision all but for a tiny slit.
He raised his arm to it...
And realized he was covered in some kind of gaudy space suit... thing.
A short, hoarse laugh. "Yeah, yeah," he muttered, "Good old Edensphere. You factoring knew this was gonna happen, but ooh no, you know I refuse to be subtracted like this. You got me covered. And you still gotta do use the most zetta annoying solution you can devise."
