That's a lovely story! I especially like everyone working together, and the bit with the candles.

[longnosedliar]

Thanks!

[WOW EVERYONE ACTUALLY LIKES HIS STORY. That's kind of a pleasant surprise.]

[weaver_girl]

Is it--about people you know? I thought I could recognise a few parts.

[longnosedliar]

Um, it kind of started out that way with the crossed out bits, but not really by the end. [taptap.] Though - we did have lanterns here.

[weaver_girl]

That's true. Even if they didn't make a fireball.

[longnosedliar]

That's not actually possible! Lanterns making a fireball, I mean. Not unless they were all open lanterns and someone released gasoline into the air somehow... but it'll do for the story. I wasn't around for them, but I hear they were really pretty. I wish I could have seen them.

[weaver_girl]

Well, candles can do that when you put enough of them close together. The flames join in a single big one. That's not very safe, though, so I don't recommend doing it!

[longnosedliar]

Yeah, you're probably right about that one... besides, this place has seen enough fire lately. Candles, though, we can definitely do.

[weaver_girl]

Definitely. I like the idea of candles a lot better, anyway.
