Knowledge lost to flames [Marta event C1]

Oh so they did have more useless stuff? Interesting, she swiped the books aside and just grumbled at herself for wasting time. Thankfully she should remain positive, she had done well with the findings of the previous shelves and had hidden that under her outfit. Bit strange but you never knew with fire. But still where the heck were these books for and why here? Why not with the kids? She almost regret throwing them aside because seriously maybe there was something in there, but then again it seemed they were hollow... what? It was getting funnier and funnier, in the sarcastic sense of the word cuz she did not find this funny at all. She tried to pull at the bookshelf itself, if the books were fake, why have a bookshelf. She gasped when she looked at the iron door behind it. "What the..." She couldn't even finish her sentence and she looked around quickly before moving closer to the door to get that key in and try to open it. Seriously they must be hiding something. A computer! Oh god today was her lucky day wasn't it. Thanks Kozue.

She tried to find in her pockets where she had left her USB, ah there it was, she quickly tried to get a backup from the computer. She tried to scroll through it, huh they didn't look anything, they probably thought the bookcase and the key was enough, well clearly they never saw this coming and they never saw her coming with looking around. She hoped it was getting there quickly. She wasn't sure if she should go back, she activated her quirk and walked back to the opening of the door to look at what was going on, shit she should make sure she wasn't in here, or would this not look only from the outside, key out of the door and back into her pocket, that would help, she looked back over her shoulder, a few more moments to go. "Need any help?" she called out to Kozue because she wasn't sure if she should do anything or get the stuff she wanted.

Yuri had been told to find a lock. It wasn't a difficult assignment, besides the tediousness that came with picking apart an entire room in a search. And it was definitely the safer of the possible assignments that were available in the burning room of death that had no working fire extinguishers and a possible cannibal and definite arsonist in the room. However, despite all this, he was visibly unhappy with the lot he'd had placed upon him. There was nothing fun about searching for a lock, and due to the fact that he was far sighted if he was too close it became blurred and required real concentration just to tell exactly what he was looking at, but he had to be close up to be able to sift through everything. It was frustrating, headache inducing, and worst of all boring.

And in a lack of foresight by everyone in the room, in addition to all these challenges, Yuri had no idea what type of lock that he was actually supposed to be looking for. Unfortunately not even the blonde boy himself was quite aware of just how fruitless his own search was, too caught up in all the other problems as he half-heartedly grumbled along with the big, coat wearing man's encouragement to realize just how many details he was lacking.

But despite all that, the young looking and very unhappy boy dutifully searched, scanning the room from afar until he spotted something that at least looked like a lock. Than he'd have to give himself a headache squinting as he tried to make out the object, looking it over to see if there was any keyhole or scanny thingie or really anything that made it look openable. And if there wasn't, he'd toss it aside, sometimes figuratively but more often than not literally, as he expressed his frustration by trying to break and throw whatever he could. And just because he was going along with this didn't mean he wasn't going to make his objections known. Ughhh....Looking at this stuff like this is hurting my eyes! And I still haven't found a stupid lock and I already have a headache... And the response to his objections would be crashing and yelling, and Yuri would turn to see the large man being pinned down as apparently communications had broken down as the demon was very trying to burn him to ash. No fair! Yuri would say as Kozue struggled. He told me to go over here and now he's the one fighting him. Of course he gets the fun part all to himself. While technically speaking to himself, Yuri wasn't exactly quiet with his complaints on how the jobs ended up, not really concerned with the fact that Kozue looked to be losing at the moment as he was fighting for his life or that he was currently on fire.

Than suddenly the large man would do something besides wear a pretty article of clothing that would surprise Yuri. He started belting out in a sing-song voice, a voice that echoed across the whole room as in such a high decibal it was like he was screaming into a microphone. Yuri was equally impressed and annoyed, continuing his search completely unaware that the tanned woman had actually found the lock they had been looking for as he judged the still pretty though also now singed and smoking coat wearing man. On one hand, he had managed to get insanely loud, which was really cool even if it did make his headache even worse. But annoyingly, he'd gotten really loud with a weird pitch. It didn't match how it should have sounded, how he'd gone sing-song, it was too deep. Not by much, but just noticeable enough that it really bugged the blonde boy with an innate ear for music. And he said as much, not turning around as he continued looking. Your pitch was off.

She heard a sound of a sort of popup or a pling and turned to look over her shoulder right after the moment that Kozue said it wasn't necessary to send help. Right but still they needed to get out of here, she hurried back and grabbed the USB that she had put in the computer, bingo everything she needed. Now all she needed to do was avoid the fire. She quickly put it in the pocket of her jacket and put the zipper in front of it so it wouldn't accidentally tumble out of her pocket without her noticing. Now time to save her partner in crime.

The thing was that she had no idea what was going on, it was a mess, a fire mess and where was the kid? She finally saw him, but she also saw the hole the fire beast had made in the wall, it was that or the door. "You don't have to look anymore I already found it, plan is to leave right now, so let's do that alright." She pointed at the hole in the wall, that would be the easiest but now to get his attention, the monster that was, "You go there, I will try to distract him." She all had said this in a not too loud manner, she highly doubt the kid would listen to them but if they were followed by him the first time, he might leave when they were going.

"Hey pudding brain!" She finally said out loud and tried to get the attention of the fire man, "You know you don't have to protect that shit when the door is right here?" She pointed at the heavy door they had used before and where Kozue originally was stationed to keep an eye out on the problems out there. Besides, she didn't care if they wanted to burn this whole building down, it was fine by her now that she had the information. "Besides, burn it all down for all it matters, we don't have any intention to stop you." Come to her, he would have to get closer, little bit more... come on! She really hoped that it would work and that he would not keep a hand on Kozue the whole time and that Kozue had the idea of getting away right here, right now.

If the thing would come for her, she would eventually disappear by the meanings of her quirk, she would camouflage to back of the room and tried to quickly make her way over to the wall with the hole in it and get outside. This was her only plan and she hated how it sucked.

While Yuri had managed to ignore Kozue's struggles for the most part as he searched for this lock, searching blindly in both a literal and figurative fashion as he squinted in an attempt to make the blurry objects he was looking at slightly less blurry and maybe more lock shaped. Whatever shape that was. But as he gave himself a headache, and made sure everyone else knew he was suffering as well, he'd find a reprieve as the fight between the man with the pretty coat and the demon started heating up. Literally. While he'd mostly ignored Kozue's very loud rebuttal against the demon man's attacks, only offering up a critique on how he'd managed to get his pitch wrong as he fought for his life in an attempt to remain non-immolated, not even bothering to turn around to watch him fight back. But when the fire guy decided that what the small room they were in needed was more fire, and suddenly most of the doorways became surrounded by flames, he stopped his search, if only momentarily to look at the destruction and increasing danger with annoyance. This didn't need to be so complicated... Everyone wanted to play around with the demon cannibal, when if they wanted him to stop burning things the quickest way to stop it was to simply beat his head in until his fire stopped.

And thankfully for his increasing headache and eye pain, he'd no longer have to squint at the things on the table as the stuck up girl approached him to tell him that searching was no longer necessary. And at that news, the blonde boy would actually sigh in relief, having been more annoyed at trying to make everything less blurry than he was currently at the idea of being trapped with the currently very angry demon man. Finally...My head really hurts now... Yuri would then start pinching the bridge of his nose as he rubbed his strained eyes and shrunken pupils, trying to take away some of the pain. But just because his search had managed to strain his vision didn't mean he wanted to be sidelined as the tanned foreign woman told him to essentially wait in the corner while the adults handled things. That sounds stupid. However, as was becoming a theme here his complaints was once again ignored as she hooked around to go back to the demon. Leaving him standing where he was, Yuri becoming annoyed at the fact no one was listening to him. Really he was starting to question if his own personal coat was even worth this aggravation would he could just bash the robot man's head in and take HIS coat tailored and cut or something. He really hated it when people didn't listen to him.

But as if coming to sway him, the tall man with the coat came running towards him as the tanned foreign woman whom he was really starting to dislike went invisible. This caused Yuri to smirk ever so slightly. That was exactly what he needed, a distraction, and knew exactly what he was supposed to do here. Finally♡ Time to have fun~ And so the blonde boy took a step forward, his smirk turning into a grin that became far more menacing as it grew, approaching the fire man while he was still distracted by the foreign woman. She really can do more things than just make me mad~ And then to top it off, Kozue was running towards him. Yuri had seen him toss the book at the demon man, literally, before running off yelling about letting this place burn. Yuri was fine with that, he had no connections to this place after all, everything here meant next to nothing to him. All he had to do was bash this guy's head in and that was that and they could leave and Yuri would have a pretty coat~ He hadn't been this excited in a long time, and his voice had that same jubilation as he called to the ever approaching Kozue, his voice not changingHey!~ Don't worry, I know exactly what to do, I'm just about to finis-EHHHH?! Yuri would be interrupted by Kozue deciding to change the script, instead of falling back while Yuri bashed the demons head in from behind, he'd instead yoinked the boy up, carrying him underhand like luggage, the blonde boy not even able to react beyond a confused yell. But soon he'd gain his bearings, just as the large man with the hat and coat was now fast approaching the window. What are you doing?! This wasn't part of the plan!! I was supposed to hit him from behind! Why is no one is listening to meeeEEEE! And if they broke through the window, all that'd be left to his complaints would be his yells getting sharper as they fell, his voice cracking, causing his pitch to be off.

Well it was clear he wasn't the smartest, defending the hole in the wall while there was the door to go through, the one they used to get in, instead of the wall as he did but okay. He still stood there, she told him he could burn everything down and that they would not stop him, it was not about that and it looked rather satisfying. She was about to try the door which must be hot, to get out when she heard a scream and she turned to just see Kozue threw a book and the giant fire thing yelled and looked hella mad and she could not help but cross her arm in front of her chest and press the other one against her forehead. Well, she had said to defend her, but now that she was so to say invisible it was time to leave the room as well, screw the door, she would aim for the hole as well. Fireman seemed to be distracted by the pain and Kozue and the boy. It was quite easy if people did not know where to look, she was holding her breath because trying to copy the sight of fire was not what her body was extremely good at, surely they were there but fire moved faster then her body could realize and she should really really get out, which went well.

Narcissa almost fell when she heard a snap behind her and the rumbling of the construction of the building. She could not help but look over her shoulder, her colours turning back to normal and watched the building go up in flames. Her face obviously showed how displeased and disgruntled she was about the idea. Once far enough away she checked her pockets for the USB, her back of the papers and just let it go through her fingers before putting it all back, though she put the USB somewhere safer. She was not exactly mad at Kozue, she had found it ridiculously stupid but she was a person that would first talk and then fight as she could not really fight well. "Well at least we are alive." She brushed through her long hair and considered it was high time to leave. She just said so to Kozue, watched him dispose of that kid in whatever way he thought was possible and needed but she would slowly make her way to where they parked their vehicle, oh well, no one else had to know. She found the mask that she used in the other pocket of her jacket and put it on. No one had to know she was here.

Yuri was like a kitten being held by the scruff, caught so off guard he didn't even physically resist his capture and the unorthodox method he was being carried as the large, slightly smoldering man rushed towards the window for an emergency exit as the demon started throwing a fit all of his own, making a grab for the pretty coat that Yuri coveted, and by proxy trying to grab Yuri himself given he was still being carried. Thankfully, it was a miss, the orphanage itself giving out before Kozue from the flames around them, and causing the floor below the demon to break apart as he stomped on it. And Yuri reacted predictably, his head turned as he watched the whole scene, and blowing a raspberry at the flaming dork while he was still in view.

But just because the flaming idiot had been the most disappointing demon in history didn't mean everything was over. Fire still surrounded them, Kozue promised to make it up to him despite already having promised a coat, and he now started stalling, having apparent trouble with the window. But Yuri was more focused on this additional promise, a promise of making it up to him for offing-blocking him. How exactly are you gonna make it up to me? And don't try cheating and saying a second coat! No being a cheap-skate! As Yuri inquired more, childishly making set terms as he did, he didn't notice Kozue's weight shifting or how he was slowly being lifted higher.

In fact it should be- FREE FLYIN'LESSON TIME, LES' GO KID! ...I'm sorry, come again? Yuri blinked in disbelief at the interruption just as he was about to reveal what he felt a good reward would be, having trouble processing just what Kozue said as Yuri's face slowly became more panicked as the realization of what was about to happen hit him he made his last outburst, voice cracking as he did. And as Yuri yelled out to stop the inevitable he suddenly found himself flying out a window. But to Kozue's disappointment the flying lessons were quickly failed as instead of soaring through the air he dropped to the ground like a flightless, immature bird. AHHHHHHHHHHH! Screaming as he fell, he'd thankfully at least have a softish landing, instead of falling onto the hard street in the front of the building the side had grass. But still, a crash landing had been the opposite way Yuri had wanted to land, and after hitting the ground he groaned, staring into the smoke filled sky.

He didn't look back at the burning building, instead just remaining on the ground, watching the smoke as it continued to fill the sky and the occasional flicker of color as the flames broke into his peripheral vision. But still, he didn't move, content enough where he'd crashed. For the time being at least. Whatever he had in mind to make this up better be pretty...
