[small sigh, taking out his cigar and stamping it out on the ground]

Right, enough of everyone watching the city burn to the ground. Bucket chain's starting at the Fountain, all able bodied anti-pyromaniacs get down there, let's go. We all know fire's very pretty to watch until it's your home lit up

I think it's 'pretty to watch' in any case.

[slightly_knurd]

Wasn't asking your opinion.

[theenviousone]

I'm giving it to you anyway.

[slightly_knurd]

Fair enough. Keep to yourself, then, but don't get in the way of things.

[evilsincebirth]

That's not a good idea.

[slightly_knurd]

Then stay in, Dietrich. No one's asking you to lend a hand.

[evilsincebirth]

Hmm. Didn't mean I wasn't going to help.

Use sand, Commander. Maybe those fire extinguishers could be supplied too. There's electrical system here, don't forget. If you accidentally splash a line with water, the fire will be the lesser of your worries.

((Ooc: Dietrich is his unofficial modern world teacher?)).

[slightly_knurd]

And are you going to run down to the beach and start dragging back sandbags? Good of you to volunteer.

[toad_ninja]

I can help with retrieval and rescue; giant toad summons are good for getting to the upper floors of buildings.

[slightly_knurd]

And who are you, again?

[toad_ninja]

I'm Jiraiya. Specialist in seals and toad summons. I'm afraid there's not much I can do in terms of fire suppression, but for transportation, I'm your man.

[slightly_knurd]

Good to hear, Jiraiya. Keep the Network turned on and I'll let you know who needs help if they call in.

[small_flame]

This one will help as needed, sir.

[slightly_knurd]

Glad to hear it. Come down to the fountain, Mr...?

[small_flame]

Presently. This one is Basil. Thou art?

[slightly_knurd]

Commander Vimes, city watch. Ever put out a fire, Basil?

[buriedinsands]

Need extra eyes, Commander?

[slightly_knurd]

Always helpful, Zazie. You let me know what needs helping the most, will you?

[buriedinsands]

We will keep our eyes out in the flames.

[slightly_knurd]

Dangerous, isn't that?
