/sacrifices Frank to see if her third attempt works

[mikangirl]

[It's not until the fire starts winding down that Nami makes an appearance on the road from the plaza, walking more and more slowly as she takes in more detail.

Hardly as if she needs more confirmation than house five burning down. She wonders vaguely whether she should put the fire out, or maybe just yell at someone for being so symbolic dramatic (Asch? She assumes it's Asch who did this).

But in the end, she doesn't say anything at all, stopping a few feet behind them and just... staring at the burning house with an utterly blank expression.]

it's super effective!

[Since the fire's mostly died down already, Asch isn't watching it as carefully anymore- the majority of the structure is gone, leaving only a pile of quietly crackling timbers, so hyperresonance isn't needed to stop the spread. Asch's focus shifts to his surroundings more, and when Nami approaches, he glances over his shoulder, watching her warily. It figures; one of Guy's friends had to show up eventually. He doesn't speak, though, since he's not even sure of what to say to her. "Sorry he's gone"? "Deal with it"? "Get the hell away"? ...Or all of the above.]

8Db ...Sadly I am now out of goats to sacrifice.

[She doesn't have any words for Asch, either. Not straight away. It takes time to sink in. Nami's half expecting Guy to surface at her shoulder and make dry comments about his house burning down, honestly.

Minutes stretch and nothing changes, and Nami's gaze shifts to stare at the road.]

...I didn't know.

...there's always Meme

[Asch looks back at Nami again, only briefly, then lowers his eyes instead of focusing on the fire. This is one hell of a way to find out a friend is gone.]

...He's fine. Probably happy to get out of here.
