*walking by because he lives in this 'hood smh* ...what the hell happened?

[plastiquebette]

*Blinks but is still looking at the fire* Someone burned it down.

[j_datass_per]

Has anyone um...called the fire department?

[plastiquebette]

*Pats her pockets* Oh, Chris must have taken my phone.

But it's kinda nice to watch, right? I mean, I guess I should have put it out when they started it but... *Puts her hands in her pocket* I feel like you are probably judging my mental state now.

[j_datass_per]

*takes out his phone and calls* Yes, there's a warehouse on fire. If you could put it out, that'd be great, thanks.

A lot of people are fascinated with fire. Now if you enjoyed watching it because someone's in there, then I'd judge your mental state. Are you okay? Were you in there?

[plastiquebette]

I... I don't know how I'd feel if there was someone in there. I can't claim to have a healthy emotional state.

*Nods at him* I'm fine. I left before it got too dangerous, plus the others had all already run off so there was no point hanging around.

[j_datass_per]

Fair enough.

*looks at her* Did the other start the fire, Bette?

[plastiquebette]

*Looks right back at him* No. Fire's not really my choice of destructive force. I'm a bit more explosive. Although I do know who did set it.

[j_datass_per]

Is that your power? *nods* Why did they do it? Just for fun?

[plastiquebette]

Yeah, literally walking dynamite. Thankfully I never had that "not in control of my powers" stage, or I'd have never made it out of infancy.

They... *Pauses and looks at the sky* I can't say Mr Sitwell.

[j_datass_per]

That's good a least. That you can control it.

*sits down on a curb idk* I see. Are you in trouble?

[plastiquebette]

Believe me, if I couldn't, my father would have dropped me down a well somewhere.

*Sits next to him and pulls out a cigarette, lighting it and taking a puff* No... Well. Maybe, but it's nothing that you can help with. So don't worry about it.

[j_datass_per]

Fathers. *makes a face at that*

Maybe I can't or maybe I can. No one really knows my specialty. *smiles and looks down* My door's always open anyway.

[plastiquebette]

Nothing like daddy-issues.

*Smiles sadly* I'd like to think you could but... *Inhales another lungful of smoke* Thanks though. *Tilts her head* Do you have a power?

[j_datass_per]

*laughs* No, not me. Just skilled in some areas.

[plastiquebette]

Hmm. So vague, now I'm curious. *Finishes her cigarette and stamps it out* Except I have to get back or Chris'll worry and. Well, it wouldn't be great.

*Stands up and smooths down her coat* Bye, sir.
