The school, the school, the school is on fire...

Who: Anyone who wants in on it!
What: The school is on fire.
When: Days 420 around sundown and after.
Where: The school in Odin's district.
Rating: We'll see!

The sun is slowly going down and Barty Crouch jr is in Odin's district, as he's been every day for a good while though, since he first realized how easily Will Graham fell into habits. The difference is that today he isn't headed to the cafe they always meet at right away. Instead he stands leaning against a wall, ever now and then glancing at the school and waiting for a sign. He has placed the mirror - a present from Albus Dumbledore himself - in just the right position fixed it to the corner of a building and waited for the sun to hit the reflective surface at the right angle.

Dumbledore had talked of smoke and mirrors and now Barty had found the right tinder. He waits until he can see smoke, faintly but there. It would be another hour, he suspects, maybe even more before the fire spreads far enough to be noticed. But it would burn, of that he had no doubt.

It is starting to get dark when he takes the mirror back, making sure to remain unseen, and he heads down the road to meet Will. He doesn't know if anyone is still in the building he just set on fire, he doesn't much care either way. The flames would rise high and Severus Snape would feel the heat.

[OOC Notes: I purposefully set this up like an event log, so just like for them, feel free to make a header comment detailing what your character is doing at any given time. If you want to do any more last minute plotting, head on over to the plotting post! Also, here is the IC post with some of what led up to this if you want to read up and/or still tag in! I backtag forever. Slowly.

If your character has been near/around/in the school before the fire started and would thus be a suspect and/or suspect other people he or she has seen, you can play that part out here too!

Times: Before the fire, during the fire, right after the fire. ...duh.
Places: The parts of the schools that will be affected are: The library, the auditorium and several classrooms as well as Evy's office.
Obviously you can also have your character be outside the school or in the hallways or any unaffected part if they want to use the chaos to, I don't know, mess up Snape's office a little.

I just ask that no one saw Barty do what he did, so we can have more fun with various suspicions cast about.]

[during the fire]

[By chance, it's for the school that Bucky swings by Odin's district, looking to check out the place where he's soon going to be working at, and probably ask a few more questions as well. He's within a few blocks when a familiar smell reaches him--the smell of smoke, something burning, and he runs till he sees the school, black smoke rising from the smoldering mess, and the only thing that's running through his mind is shit, who's still in there?

He pushes past the forming crowd, pushes his way into the school, his mind running on automatic already, cursing not coming by earlier and memorizing the layout of the school. He claps a hand over his mouth and nose, only occasionally taking it off to shout:]


Hey! Hey, can anyone hear me?

[after the fire]

[Turns out, charging straight into a burning school to drag out anyone else still stuck inside has its consequences. There's soot and some minor burns on his skin, but for the most part he looks fine, if a little angry.

And by "a little" we mean that he's this close to throwing a punch at something to make himself feel better. He's tensed up, his usual friendly manner nowhere to be seen, and very much on edge, and not just because someone's just tried to burn down a school with people inside.]

[Alice had, thankfully, been nowhere near the school when everything went down. She had been at the grand library and saw the smoke rise into the air.

Now though she was just trying to help where and how she could. She was passing out cold water bottles to any who looked like they needed it.

So that's why there is suddenly a, slightly sweaty with condensation but still cold water bottle in Bucky's face.

[Well, it isn't beer, but it'll do. Bucky takes the bottle with a muttered thanks, uncaps it, and downs half of it in one go. Then he looks back at Alice, and while he's still tense, he does relax a little, enough to give her a weak smile.]

Hey. Alice, yeah? You okay?
madcuriosity: (Don't twiddle your thumbs girl!)

I wasn't here, when... [She made a wide gesture that was clearly meant to indicate "everything."]

I'm fine. [Physically, the fact that the school just burnt down is another matter emotionally and mentally.]
snowstormed: that you left (★ through corrupted lungs)

[personal profile] snowstormed 2014-03-28 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Good. [He lets out a breath, then glances at the smoking rubble where a good chunk of the school used to be.] Let me rephrase that question: you gonna be okay? [And he isn't asking about her physical health, either.]
madcuriosity: (A moment of rest)

[She took a deep breath, regretting it because all she could smell was smoke, and ash, and embers. She coughed, lightly and nodded. In something like this, she had to be.]

It... it's a building. It could have been much worse. But the building itself can be restored.
