So, fun fact: The human body is flammable.

Thought everyone should know.

It's not like I tried to do anything.

I'm fine.

But just FYI, just 'cause you're mostly water doesn't mean your skin isn't flammable.

You're welcome.

Would you believe me if I said it was for science?

Not only is the human body flammable, burns are nasty business.

But also that denial of trying to do something is a little oddly specific

[... She's not gonna press because, like, that's none of her business she guesses, but Uh]

[strings_theory]

Iiiiit's been handled, we're good.

Hey, no one tells you skin is flammable. So there you go, you learned something today.

No one can say I didn't teach someone something.

[buddinghopes]

Well, there's that at least.

You know what, that's fair. And you never know who may have what idea...

and once again the masses learn that they should fucking listen to Maverick before doing stupid shit because he will inevitably let you know how stupid that shit is

I tried, folks. I really did.

[strings_theory]

I mean, I was fine afterward. Mostly. Shut up.

nice work einstein

Hey, there was an actual scientific reason for it, it's not like I randomly just decided to set my skin on fire or some shit! Goddamn.

[moonlitdancer]

Is that not common knowledge? It seems like the sort of thing that people would be taught.

[strings_theory]

Depends on where you come from and the shit people do, I guess?

Florida Man is a thing for a reason where I'm from.

[Jail doesn't reply to this post with words.]

[Instead, she just texts a screenshot of her lecture slides from that very first lesson, the one where she told her class how to create a proper rune of fire protection. Because skin is only flammable if you haven't applied enough magic science to the problem.]

[You're welcome, probably?]

[Good luck with all your future science, Jolyne.]

[strings_theory]

[Hey, she wasn't really here for that shit when it happened, so that's at least insanely useful for her purposes and she kind of knew she could count on Jail to have some way to counteract that absolute bullshit.

Which is absolutely why she's texting her in turn.]

I'm sewing that shit in and seeing what happens.

Was this in the name of science, or...?

[strings_theory]

Surprisingly, yes.

I'm not going to set myself on fire for no damn reason, not that crazy.

UH, ARE YOU OKAY?

[Since no one else here is asking???]

I know you said you're fine but there's a sliding scale of fine.

[strings_theory]

Burned my palm, got it fixed. It was a little while ago, so it's healed up nicely and all that.

So yeah, I'm fine?

And you're NOT going to tell us how you figured this out?

Doooooes it matter how I figured it out? Not an exciting story.

Please tell me this isn't the result of you fighting Bowser.

Still working on getting that fight to happen. [It was, in fact, necessary for her to emphasize that.]
