[A girl sits next to a table in a lounge room, idly waving her hands back and forth across the flame of a large candle. Whilst she was sad the warmer weather was beginning to leave, Lien would be happier with cooler weather, so she didn't mind so much. Speaking of Lien...

She stands up suddenly, knocking the candle over, the flame landing on her

[onihon]

[This is so odd... no one for months and now his little sister too?]

[He's more alarmed by the fact she's alone, however, and knows how upset she'll be.]

Mei-chan...

[fieryformosa]

[She blinks, staring at him a little.]

N-niisan?

[onihon]

Mei-chan...

[He comes around the chair to look at her, putting a hand on the forearm not caught on fire (he rather likes not being crispy) and tries to calm her.]

[fieryformosa]

[Oh, yes, it might be a good idea to put that out. She does so and then wraps him in a hug.]

Niisan, where have you been?

/driveby, goes to bed

[formosaplum]

[Barely surprised by seeing a girl with her same looks... her eyes are more fixed on her firey forearm. What the...?]

Ah, such danger! Wǒ néng bāng nǐ ma? (Can I help you?)

night!

[fieryformosa]

[She looks up at the other girl in surprise. A shapeshifter perhaps? She sets her mouth in a firm line.]

Who are you? What do you want? [Yeah, her arm's still on fire.]

*yawns* 'Ning.

[formosaplum]

[Flails. How can she not be trouble when her arm, well, is ON FIRE?!] I'm asking you the same, and what's up with your arm?

/yawns too

[fieryformosa]

[She glances down at her arm. Suddenly the flames ignite her whole arm up to her shoulder, and then are extinguished, leaving no indication that they were ever there.]

I'm a fire spirit, of course. Your turn.

Deity time!

[awesome_deity]

First Oni's now spirits, what's next?

\o/

[fieryformosa]

An Oni? You've seen one?

[awesome_deity]

More than once.

[dawnlotus]

[that's a familiar name, not her name, but she has heard other Vietnams named as such]

Do you need help, em?

[fieryformosa]

[For a moment she's relieved, before she realises it's not her sister standing front of her.]

Who are you?

[dawnlotus]

I am Vietnam, [her eyes wonder over to her burning arm, these powers are rather cool, aren't they]

In this place, there are multiple versions of us. It is...very strange.

[fieryformosa]

[Noticing her eyes, she lessens the flames to burn just on the back of her hand.]

...Vietnam is a country.

[wang_yao_long]

[Wait, he didn't remember that the little Mei who frequented the crystal palace has that specific ability. But still...]

Mei! Whar have I told you about using your powers inside, aru?!

[fieryformosa]

I'm not burning anything important! [It's an automatic response - it was one little accident with some silks forever ago! She extinguishes the flames and scowls at him, before looking confused. You don't feel quite right.]

[wang_yao_long]

Aiyaaaa, why couldn't you just stay as cute as when you were a little girl? Children these days, they don't listen...

[... Wait. Only now Yao notices the *very* different aura coming from you. Ah, damn.]

You're still using your powers carelessly, whether you're the Mei I know or not. Such skills shouldn't be used like that, aru, and specially not in this weird place.

[fieryformosa]

"The Mei you know"? What do you mean? Who are you?
