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.

[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]

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

[strings_theory]

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.

[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.

[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.

[moonlitdancer]

I'm not sure what "Florida Man" is, aside from the obvious, but it seems like common sense to try not to set oneself on fire.

[strings_theory]

In my defense, it was to check if a power of mine was flammable or not.

Also totally look up Florida Man.

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.

[moonlitdancer]

Testing the capabilities of one's abilities is acceptable justification, I'll give you that.

I suppose I'll search for it during my free time.

[nor_iron_bars]

[Jail is always here to counteract bullshit with more, weirder bullshit.]

cool, have fun.
might wanna use a cigarette lighter or a candle to test it the first couple times, this one can be kind of a pain in the ass to get right.

[Do not test by yeeting yourself into a bonfire until you're sure you know how to do this, is her point.]

[strings_theory]

Also it was just my palm, so it's not like I did much damage.

Good, good~

[strings_theory]

[It's not like Jolyne needs help on that front, but Jail makes it quicker.]

Was using a lighter last time, too, so that's the plan until the fucking thing works the way it's supposed to.

Then comes the stupid bullshit.

[stavros]

I see. Training mishaps are... unfortunately more common than one may have been led to believe.

[strings_theory]

Y e a h.

As far as I'm aware, no one in here has the same shit I do, so kinda having to learn by trying. Kinda sucks ass, but it's something I just gotta do.

[stavros]

I see. Most of what I use are physical weapons or a bloodline ability, so that's easier, but even so... and then having a new Rune Armour has proved challenging. So, learn by doing? Admirable.

you never burn yourself while cooking or something

[This seems totally safe and reasonable to her.]

there's a fire extinguisher in the labs if you need it.
godspeed.

[Go forth and become even more fucking impossible to deal with, fellow horrible gremlin woman.]

[strings_theory]

[T O K I.

Though, honestly, she can't even be mad.]

I can't even be mad at this. What the fuck.

[strings_theory]

Pffft, let's go with admirable, sure.

Familiars run in the family, more or less, but none of them have really been the same as far as I've been told.

[yokeye]

they're cute!
and you'll be safe!

[strings_theory]

[Totally safe and reasonable.]

Might... try it on Stone Free first before I start doing it on myself. Maybe.

I don't know whether I should thank you or question why you think this is a good idea.

[Is it even possible for her to be worse? Who knows, the world will have to wait and see.]

[strings_theory]

Dude, I can turn parts of my body into fucking string. I wanted to see if the same concept applied.

Spoilers: It did.

[strings_theory]

I don't know how I should feel that you think I need a personal fire extinguisher.

But thanks, Toki.
