<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
*Looks straight up at the trees which block out the sun*
Isn't that a fire hazard with all of the foliage?
This forest doesn’t burn easily. I think it’ll be fine.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
*Raises an eyebrow*
Are you sure? Like, really, really sure?
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
If it does, it’ll make the forestry folks get here even faster.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
With all due respect, on the list of things we could call a bad idea… That’s pretty up there. Negligent arson is not something I signed up for today.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
How about we just use it on the branch then? It’s not going to be enough to break the car.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
The car doesn’t have anything we’d have to worry about being combustible in it? Because if you think Blue would be mad at you for leaving the car behind, I don’t wanna know what she’d do to you if you blew it up…
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
Strangely, I think she'd be angrier about leaving it behind than blowing it up. It probably won't explode though.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
I wish you’d stop saying “probably”… It’s not the most assuring thing.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
Oh, sorry. I'll try to do better. But I don't think it's going to explode.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
The specific word isn’t the problem. It’s the lack of certainty about the risk.
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
If it blows up, we can teleport back. Nothing to lose, right?
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
Other than a car, you mean?
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
Right. But that part is okay.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
…
*Sighs and opens the passenger door of the car again, digging out the pouch of coins where I left the flare device and removes it from the bag*
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
You may want to remove your new clothes too.
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
Oh, trust me, I planned on it.
*Hands the flare over to you and then reaches back in the car for the shopping spoils, then walks several dozen feet down the road away from the car*
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
*Walks over by the branch and tries to figure out where to best place it*
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>
*Takes a few more steps back and to the side, nearer to the treeline*
<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>
Ready?
*Presses down on the flare and runs toward the tree line*
