This! Rain knows what this is! She's read stories online with this. Secretly this guy is a hostage or something and the fire is meant to be threatening him, and all the video cameras are broadcasting the peril to his loved ones to make them crack and tell secrets or open up the actual vault! Everything else is a sideshow (but an important one, since nobody should get hurt and that's what the blackguards are counting on), and this is what's important, but the Princess is taking care of the other civilians and that means she can take care of what's happening here.

Assuming she's right. She's not always been right about these things.

She peers at the bound man, resisting the urge to wave at the cameras, and frowns under the mask. She saw the halberd and that coooooould cut the ropes but it could also go terribly, [i]terribly[/i] wrong. But on the other hand she probably shouldn't leave to get a knife (note to self, add a knife to her go bag, a nice folding one that looks sufficiently spooky for a ghost to use), so she's going to have to find something here. Probably. Or try something tricky. She can't make anybody else into a ghost, unless she's making them permanently a ghost by killing them, but that is not proper behavior and she will chose not to do that. But. But! She might. Miiiiiiight. Be able to do something tricky with making the ropes into ghost-ropes and then pulling them off her. She carefully does not think of alternative uses for ghost ropes. Now is not the time, brain, later with a word document, maybe when she's supposed to be doing accounting practice.
