Who: Jessica Albert (

magicburst) and you!
When: Anytime between 9/9 (IC: 9/24) to 9/14 (IC: 9/29) and
Where: The Pleasure District, The Shopping District and anywhere you may need her.
What: Jessica's fire element is acting up and she's putting it to good use... when it's acting nicely anyhow.
Rating/Warning: None yet. I'll update as needed.

[ A ]
[Jessica is putting her spontaneous fire to good use. Since everything she touches seems to burst into flames, the sorceress is going through the Pleasure District during her off time putting a stop to those robots going rogue chiefly by grabbing hold of them. Not that she neglects her whip but that seems reserved for tripping up the robots more than anything.

She quells the fire on one with a bit of ice magic, shards of ice jutting out of the ground and around the metallic remains of said robot. She sighs out, flexing her hand a little afterward.]

I'm certainly glad my magic is stable but this fire business is another problem altogether. This place really doesn't want anyone to be comfortable anymore, does it.

[ B ]
[And here is one of the discomforting parts of fire abilities. Jessica isn't much of a cook to be honest and setting things on fire doesn't help. However trying to eat out isn't so simple when one keeps setting every slice of pizza they touch on fire.

Right now Jessica is grasping onto the crust of one burning piece, her teeth gritted and her glare enough to make one wonder if it's her element or her gaze setting it on fire.]

What, is it every other piece then? Honestly if there were at least some predictability I could plan around this but now...

[Wildcard! Feel free to PM me if needed. Jessica can also be found at her jobs as a party magician, a mixed martial arts fighter and a swimsuit model as well.]

[Something about that tone fills him with dread and leaves him on edge. He nervously takes a step back as he regards her.]

I... I helped to put out a fire...

...

...B-but it seems that some has gotten on you. [More like all of it.] I am so sorry, Jessica-san!! I will do anything to help!!

[She continues glowering at the man for a moment and then she sighed out. She reaches for napkins on the table, slowly mopping away the foam from the rest of her face.]

Oh never mind. It isn't as if these last few days haven't been the biggest mess anyhow.

[Heck, these last few weeks.]

[He frowns at that, then he quickly procures some paper towels and tries to hand them to her.]

Ah... Please, Jessica-san, tell me all of your troubles!

[The paper towels are accepted, not particularly happily so but who could be about mopping themselves up. She runs one over a pigtail, knowing what little good it will do in the long run but might as well clean up as best she can.]

My troubles? I'm not sure where to begin. To be honest, this place hasn't been all that kind to me from the very moment I stepped foot into it.

[Plop onto the floor goes a particularly big bit of white foam onto the floor as she knocks it off of her chest. She mutters in a bit of a grumbling tone.]

Or woke up in it really. That bag wasn't a pleasant experience either.

Right, those bags... [He recalls that ViViD level.] That was a very cruel trick!

[He frowns as e looks towards her. He wants to help more, but he's not sure how.]

I am sorry to hear about all of that, Jessica-san. This place can be very unpleasant! But, I am also glad that you have endured through all of those hardships! You must be much stronger now!

Stronger?

[She considers a moment.]

I suppose this is teaching me to keep my temper somewhat in check. Though honestly I don't believe I have that much of a problem.

[He nods.]

Yes! Through every ordeal, we become stronger in some way, even if it just a little bit! [Surely she must be gaining some exp.]

I do not think that there is anything wrong with you! Ah... But even if it is not a big problem, having better control can only be good!

[As he speaks, several corn stalks spontaneously grow from the foam-covered table.]

[... Stalks? Jessica can't help but jump as they more or less shoot out of the foam.]

Ah... yes. Yes, exactly.

[Composure, Jess, composure. She can face the most fearsome of creatures and yet for some reason those stalks just springing up is terribly surprising.]

Ack, there is more of them! [But he does notice her reaction...]

Is there any way that I can help you, Jessica-san?!

[She blinks a bit, pointing to the corn stalks.]

These are yours?

Er... I suppose that you could say that! They have been appearing almost everywhere that I travel to!

How odd. At least it isn't fire or rain though.

[This had to do with elements, right? So was he earth or something?]

Yes, that is true! It is harmless compared to either of those things! ...But that reminds me... What could have caused that tragic pizza fire?! [Which he miraculously extinguished!]

[Well now that she knows where those mysterious plants came from, she more or less lapses into a relaxed stance.]

Ah that? From me I'm afraid.

[In demonstration she grabs hold of a corn stalk. It bursts into flames of course.]

Ack!! [He gasps at the flaming corn.] J-Jessica-san?! Fire!!

[Lee whirls around to try to see where he put the fire extinguisher.]

[Not that thing again. Jessica ends up picking up her cup from the table, still rather full of foam itself and throwing it on the flaming corn. It sputters out with nary a bit of popcorn in sight.]

Oh for the Goddess' sake, calm down. It seems like everyone is either being followed by rain or lighting things on fire lately.

[He pauses midstep as Jessica takes action... and then slowly settles back down.]

I... I apologize.

...This must all be some new phenomenon of this place! Did you say that rain has been following people as well...?

A few, out in the streets mostly.

Is that so! [For once, Lee seems to be putting things together in his head.]

And recently, Takeru-kun attracted the winds... Could this be elemental in nature?!

[Oh. Well. For one reason or another she hadn't considered that.]

Do the elements play a large role in this world?

[Lee nods quickly.]

That is correct, Jessica-san! There are four deities on this planet that each match a different element. Earth, water, fire and air! [Everything changed when the fire nation att- wait, wrong show.]

Each of us are matched up with one of those elements for some reason. And there was one other time long ago, when we were effected by those elements! It was not the same as back then... but it still seems similar!

[Jessica looks thoughtful.]

I do recall someone else saying something similar. They have shrines here in the city, yes?

Yes, that is correct! I have not been to all of them, but they exist!
