The environmental suit appeared on Handmaiden at the same instant that flames roared suddenly around her. Handmaiden drew in a breath with a hiss, but although the air inside warmed considerably, she was not burned. Looking out through the narrow slit, she saw... horror. Terror, pain, death death death death twanged and ripped around her, tearing open the foreboding that had been nagging at her senses.

People were dying. Agonized, horrific deaths. Handmaiden pushed her way through the flames. She had to fight--she had to help now, whatever she could do. Others were in suits, she saw. They seemed safe. But there were many who were unprotected. The flames flicked at them, predatory.

A flash of blonde and fear moved through her perception, half-sight and half-sense. Handmaiden followed as quickly as she could as the young woman fled into a deathtrap. Grimacing behind the obscuring facemask, Handmaiden reached towards her. The horror that lashed at her through the energy field pushed her mind off-balance as she tried to reach through it and pull the woman from harm. "This way!" she shouted, hoping that she could hear, and that it was not too late.

Unfortunately for Handmaiden, it was too late. The flames were moving too fast, and Pinky had nowhere to run. She grabbed desperately for Handmaiden's hand, ignoring the fact that she had no idea who she was, but that failed to work as the fire was just too intense.

She pulled back her hand as the flames leaped higher, and soon there was nothing left to be seen of the alley or Pinky.

She was going to die. Handmaiden knew it the instant after she reached.

The young woman yanked her hand back as the fire seemed to leap forward, consuming her completely. The sense of death and pain, so close, so intense, Handmaiden could not hold it inside of her--it ripped out of her in a long scream that burned her throat as she felt the woman's death. She stood there as the flames swept around her, making the air in her suit moderately warmer but otherwise leaving her unscathed.

And then it passed, leaving... leaving...

Handmaiden gagged, only just managing to not vomit into her suit at the woman's remains. The sensation of death seemed to suck at her feet in a pool of dark nothingness that felt all too familiar. Turning, she moved away from the scene as quickly as she could manage in the envirosuit.
