So you know how the Castaway is sort of a "bonus" family in my BaCC and-- partly in keeping with their status as unsupervised teens and partly because I'm not really thinking of them as real playables unless they join in another family-- I've been taking a more hands-off approach to their rounds? Well, their camp stove caught fire, and UNA DIED.
!
She and Jayne were there when the fire started, and I was watching them do the little Fire! dance for a bit, being hands off and all, and thinking they were relatively safe because there wasn't much of anything to catch fire nearby. Then when I tried to get them to put it out, they were being stupid about it and let themselves catch fire. I maxmotived to try to keep them alive; I tried to get them to jump into the ocean, which Una was practically already standing in; I tried to get one of them to EXTINGUISH something; I tried to get them to run away; but NO. Just Fire! dance while being on fire. I finally got Marco down to the beach to help these two dummies, and he was able to save Jayne and start on Una, but he was too late.

I thought really hard about exiting without saving, but I didn't. Then I comforted myself with a CC download spree and made plans to get the boys a dog.
RIP, Una. My first death in Ste-Margo.
