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

[liquidsky]

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.]

[Alice guides the older girl, at least, until the older girl drops her hands. She reaches for them again, guiding her. More help was arriving, healers and the like. She starts leading the older girl towards them.]

This time I'll take care of you.

[digophelia]

[She can be lead easily, at least, there's hardly any resistance to her, unlike Snape. Which, by the way, Alice is currently blocking out that disaster. Wordlessly, she's at least managed to grip her hand with hers.

It's a big step, considering how Alice violently retaliated to Maglor and Snape's efforts to get her out of the fire. She can at least be a bit more cooperative with her, because even her conscious thought process (even by a slither) know she won't be hurt.]

[madcuriosity]

[She finally brings the older girl to the healers that have shown up, and explains what happened. What they instruct the older girl to do, like sit down and just try to relax, Alice tries and helps her with. She draws up a chair for her to sit in with a fluffy cushion, she holds on to her elbows, trying to help her sit.

When the healers ask what hurts the most, Alice cannot answer though.]

Miss Alice?

Miss Alice where does it hurt most so they can start there?

[digophelia]

[The most she responds with is nonchalant behavior, acting loosely, pose-able in a sense.

Too much like a doll.

She shudders, recalling the dollmaker and all of the children. Alice extends her hands outward, yet again, cut up from glass and burns on her arms. It's a shame, really, it isn't the first time she's gotten burns in Asgard or burns period.

All she does is show her hands and arms, already littered with faint scars from years before.]

[madcuriosity]

[The healers tend to the older girl, and the littler one just watches in silence. When the wounds are healed and cleaned so that pale skin is all that's left, she sits beside her. A few other things are healed of course, but Alice can only watch as the healers do what they do best. Tending to the wounds as their powers take care of the burns as if they were never there. They take water and clean off soot and ash until the older girl's pale skin started to come through.

When the healing was done and they had addressed the worst of the ash and soot and blood, the healers asked if she needed anything else otherwise they would move on.]

[digophelia]

[She says nothing.

She barely moves the entire time, still gazing off in a hollow stare. Really, she would have been grateful for the gestures to clean off soot. But it hails all too familiar reminders of her past.

All she does is shudder, dropping her head to cover her face after their done. All minor injures are taken care of, but the same can't be said for the absolute panic it's inflicted upon her already troubled mind.]q

[madcuriosity]

[Alice stands in front of Alice and lifts up her chin, looking into her eyes, trying to see into it as best she could. She saw no one looking back, or well, there was someone there, but no one who would respond.

Alice couldn't let her stay alone, she wouldn't. She linked their fingers together.]

You're... going to stay with me. I won't let you go back to Hel house alone.

[digophelia]

[She's there, don't worry.

But in order to cope with it, Alice has distance herself from her physical body. She hears her words, but the only half register. All she knows at the moment is a dark man with gold eyes had disturbed her enough not to return. She doesn't mind, even half-conscious.

All she does is think of her sister, Lizzie. Poor Lizzie.

Wherever the little Alice took her this time, she would follow and likely fall asleep.]
