Sparky!

I’M THE BEST FUCKING FIRESTARTER AROUND, BABY!

[sparky-starts-fires]

“HEY!!!!!”

just a silly guy i swear he’s not gonna set fire to your house

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

@sparkystartsfires | “YOU!!!! WHO ARE YOU?!!! YOU LOOK COOL!!!! OOOO DO YOU HAVE ANY FIRE?!!! CAN YOU FLY?!!!!” This child is now rapid firing questions.

“WAGH-!” Pastel practically trips over her own tail in surprise, her wings fluffing up defensively. This poor woman was not prepared to run into a child, trapped in her room like she was.

“Hold on, slow down! Can- How-?” She takes a deep breath and smooths her feathers with her claws. “What was all that you asked?”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OH! SORRY! WHO ARE YOU? I’M SPARKY! THE BEST PYROMANCER IN ALL OF MY CITY! WELL. WAS! I DUNNO HOW TO MAKE FIRE HERE.”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

“It’s okay.” She smiles slightly at Sparky. “My name is Alexis Grey, but you can also call me Pastel. I don’t really have a moniker where I come from.”

She is blatantly omitting the fact that she led a revolution and destroyed two governments in her own world.

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OHHH OKAY!” He reaches up to attempt to bap her but he’s. Too short. Just a little boy i love him so much

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

She giggles softly and crouched down in front of him, her tail waving slowly. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sparky.”

[sparky-starts-fires]

He baps her head with a giggle. “IT’S NICE TO MEET YOU TOO!!!”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

She glances briefly at her locked front door in the dim light. “So.. Since you're a pyromancer, I'm assuming you don't know how to pick locks. Do you even know where you are?”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“NOPE!! THE NICE BUNNY HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF ME!!”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

She sighs and stands back up, making a beeline for her door and grabbing onto the handle. She looks back at him. “Loud noises don’t scare you, do they?”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“NOPE!! I’M USED TO LOUD NOISES!!! I LIVE IN THE BIG CITY!!”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

She grins mischievously. “Perfect.”

The doorknob is literally torn out of the door with a loud screech, and then she rams her shoulder into the door itself a couple of times until is busts open in a small explosion of splinters.

She blinks in the bright light outside her room, dropping the ruined doorknob and rubbing her hands together. “Mission success.”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“WOAAAH! YOU’RE STRONG!”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

She laughs and rolls the shoulder she used to bust down the door. “Thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve done something like that.”

She pauses and looks around. “…Um. So you said you had a rabbit friend, right? Who exactly is that?”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“UHHH. ORANGE!! FLOPPY EARS!! I’M BAD AT NAMES.”

[pastels-black-bird-wings]

@sparkystartsfires | “YOU!!!! WHO ARE YOU?!!! YOU LOOK COOL!!!! OOOO DO YOU HAVE ANY FIRE?!!! CAN YOU FLY?!!!!” This child is now rapid firing questions.

[well-rested-insomnia]

“HI THERE!!!! YOU LOOK COOL!!!!”

Lots of hand waving from this

child

- @sparky-starts-fires

WHAT!? HI! I KNOW I DO!! WHO ARE YOU!!!!

<They basically screech this at the top of their lungs, as per usual. Accompanied by much calmer waving. A stark contrast to his YELLING>

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I’M SPARKY!! WHO ARE YOU??”

[well-rested-insomnia]

YOUR NAME SOUNDS LIKE A DOG NAME

ANYWAYS

IM INSOMNIA!!!!! I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU HERE BEFORE HOW DID YOU GET HERE

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I DONT KNOW HOW I GOT HERE!!!! HOW DID YOUUUU GET HERE?!!!”

[well-rested-insomnia]

I LIVE HERE!!1!111!!

[sparky-starts-fires]

“WOAH!!! COOL!!! U LOOK AWESOME!!!”

[sparky-starts-fires]

A portal opens up and an orange stick figure tumbles through, landing in a slide. Writing on their metal arm glows orange and spitting embers. They get up and look over, putting out the embers.

"Oh, hi there. I'm Phoenix."

“HI!! I’M SPARKY- OHHH IS THAT FIRE?!!!!” His gaze locks onto the arm, pupils dilated.

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Hm? Oh, yeah, it's a fire rune, why?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“FIRE’S SO COOL!!!!”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Right? I like how it moves, personally."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“HEHEHE. I LIKE HOW DESTRUCTIVE IT IS!!!”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Slightly concerning, but I like you, so I'll overlook it."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“SO YOU CAN SET FIRES ANY TIME??”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Yeah, I can. Although, it does require learning how to write a whole new language."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OOOO… FUN!!!”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"What do you normally use to start them?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“MATCHES, LIGHTERS, RICH PEOPLE’S TOOLS… ANYTHING!”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Wait - Rich people's tools? This, I've gotta hear."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OH. RICH PEOPLE ARE WEIRD. THEY HOG ALL THE GOOD STUFF!! EVEN THE GOOD FOOD!!” >:/

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Ooh, are you a foodie, too?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“NNNO. THEY JUST GIVE US SLOP!!! THEY EVEN HOG THE MEAT!!! WE’RE MEANT TO BE CARNIVOROUS!!! AND THEY WONDER WHY THE BIRD POPULATION HAS DECLINED.” Huff.

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Do you want me to make you something? I'll make sure to include as much meat as you want."

[sparky-starts-fires]

His pupils dilate a BUNCH. “PLEASE?”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Alright. Any specific requests?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“NNNO.”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Hmm... Alright, do you prefer sweet or savoury food?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I DON’T KNOW?? MOST OF WHAT I’VE HAD IS SLOP.” Blegh..

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Okay, so nothing bland or runny. I think I know what to make." He gets a portable stove out and turns it on, tossing various ingredients onto a pan and starting to fry.

[sparky-starts-fires]

He watches with curiosity, tail wagging.

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

He's humming as he stirs the ingredients, adding spices and a couple sauces to the mix.

[sparky-starts-fires]

He tilts his head with a curious noise.

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

It looks to be a beef stir fry with lamb, chicken, pork, and various other meats mixed in, with the meat:veggie ratio HEAVILY leaning towards the meat.

"Not sure what kind of meat you prefer, so I'm putting in a variety, just in case."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OH!! THANK YOU!!”

[that-stickfig-phoenix]

"Hey, anytime. Everyone deserves a hot meal."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“:( THANK YOU”

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OH!! THANK YOU!!”

[melancholymari]

THERE IS! A CHILD! STARING AT YOU!

- @sparky-starts-fires

-She had paused to silently stare back at the child, her eyebrow raised. Since when was there new people again?-

[melancholymari]

-She searched aaaaall over, messing with one or two things she is curious about along the way until they find the fridge. She silently wishes to herself that she'd find something as she opened the door to it-

[the-annoying-juniper]

It’s full of food! A lot of it is past its expiration date but there ARE a few things that haven’t expired yet.

[melancholymari]

-She shoved things that were expired into the back before checking out the things that weren't expired-

[the-annoying-juniper]

It’s just eggs and condiments. He has, like, 10 packs of eggs. Why does he have so many.

[melancholymari]

"...Do you like eggs?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“YEAH!!”

[melancholymari]

THERE IS! A CHILD! STARING AT YOU!

- @sparky-starts-fires

-She had paused to silently stare back at the child, her eyebrow raised. Since when was there new people again?-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He grins, his teeth yellow and sharp, and waves. “HI!! I’M SPARKY!!! WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!!! OOOO YOU’RE ORANGE!!! KINDA LIKE FIRE. THAT’S COOL!!!! WANNA BE FRIENDS?!!!!!!”

[melancholymari]

"Oh, uhhh. Hi there. Immm Mari. Yeah, uh, I am."

-She looked at herself, then back at him. He definitely reminded her of someone-

"You're red, that's cool."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THAT COLOR!!!! IT’S SOOO COOL!!!!!” He giggles. “DO YOU HAVE FOOD? RAW FOOD WORKS TOO, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COOKED!!!”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, I think I have a bunch of stuff left in my fridge. I don't know what, though, so just take whatever."

-She turned to head back to her room-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“YOU HAVE A WHOLE FRIDGE?! THAT’S COOL!! HEY, WHAT’S IT LIKE HERE?! I JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED HERE LAST NIGHT!! MY SISTER’S PROBABLY WORRIED RIGHT NOW!! BUT IT’S FIIINE!!”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, we don't have an actual kitchen, so. It works."

-She grimaced as she began to open her door for him-

"This isn't the best place to be, but it's been fine for months. Uhm. Hopefully your sister can find you."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“HOPEFULLY.” His tail wags a bit. “IS IT CHAOTIC HERE??”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, I'd say so. Good and bad chaos, I guess."

-She went into her room and held the door open for him-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He walks into the room and looks around. “I LIKE CHAOS! IT’S FUN!”

[melancholymari]

"It's okay when it's not life threatening."

-She shut the door and showed him where the fridge was-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I LIKE THE THRILL OF DANGER!!” He giggles. “MY SISTER DIDN’T THOUGH. ALWAYS SAID ‘SPARKY, DON’T GO OVER THERE’!!” He huffs. “NO FUN.”

[melancholymari]

"If only we had that sort of choice, though."

-She sighed and dug through the foods in her fridge-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He stares over her shoulder, tilting her head. He recognizes none of this food and it shows on his face.

[melancholymari]

"I have ham. And fruit. And some chili peppers."

-She offered the different foods she could spot-

"Are you thirsty too?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“MHM! BUT WHAT IS ALL THAT????” He tilts his head.

[melancholymari]

"Food. You can try whatever. I have caprisuns, milk, and lemonade for drinks."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He tilts his head to the other side. “I ONLY RECOGNIZE ONE THING YOU’VE SAID SO FAR AND THAT’S MILK…”

[melancholymari]

"Well, I promise it's food. It's really random but..."

-She then started to list the different things off-

"Ham is meat, fruit is juicy, chili peppers are spicy, caprisuns are juice in a pouch, and lemonade is sour."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He hums slightly, tail swishing. “COULD I TRY HAM? PLEASE?”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, here."

-She hands him a package of ham-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU.”

He opens it and hesitantly tries a piece, pupils going way too round. He tilts his head, staring at it. “HOW MUCH AM I ALLOWED TO EAT.”

[melancholymari]

"You can have it all, I wasn't planning on finishing it anytime soon."

-She felt glad he found something he liked-

[sparky-starts-fires]

Oh and it’s gone in less than a minute. Bro was hungry. He’s purring.

[melancholymari]

"Well, I guess I know what to get for you to eat. At least you're happy."

-Don't be fooled by her tone and expression, she is genuinely glad he is happy-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU!! ALL THE STUFF AT HOME TASTED LIKE SLOP!!” Blegh. He sticks his tongue out, tail freezing for a second before continuing to wag.

[melancholymari]

"Maybe you'll like what we have here then, besides the ham, of course. I'm pretty sure if you like that, you'll like other meats."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OUU… YOU HAVE OTHER MEATS HERE?!!! ONLY THE RICH PEOPLE GOT MEAT BEFORE!!”

[melancholymari]

"Its a pretty common thing to eat here. Cooked, raw, it's all the same to the people here. Hm... I can probably go see if someone else has any in their rooms."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He’s giving Mari the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

[melancholymari]

"Want to come look with me? I can show you around in the meantime."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“SURE!!” He’s jumping up and down, tail wagging. Is this lil guy a dog or a cat??

[melancholymari]

"Cool."

-She pats his head and headed back out of the room, hands in her pockets as she thought about where to go first-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He skips after her, giggling to himself.

[melancholymari]

-She hummed, walking down the hallway and checking each door to make sure she doesn't go into certain rooms-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“SO IS THERE ANYWHERE I SHOULDN’T GO??”

He giggles.

[melancholymari]

"Just where the dangerous weaponry and tanks are, and into rooms that can actually lock and have sturdy looking doors. Besides that, you're free to roam."

-She checked the entrance area for one room, humming as she debated checking for meat there-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He takes note to go there later. “OKAY!”

[melancholymari]

-Ever so slowly, she slipped into the room, checking around before waiting to see if Sparky would join her-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He slips in after her, eyes full of curiosity.

[the-annoying-juniper]

The room is dirty. Dirtier than usual. There are spiderwebs in the hoard, and it looks like it hasn’t been touched in weeks. Juniper’s not here.

( @melancholymari )

[melancholymari]

-She took a moment to silently observe the place, feeling a tad bit... hurt... seeing him not around. Maybe she'll come back to clean the place up, just a bit. But no matter, she needs to look for meat, so she sets off to do so-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He jumps, a sound startling him. It’s the ouppy, chat. The dog.

[melancholymari]

-She perked up and immediately started to look around. She could not contain her barely noticeable joy, ooohhh where is that ouppy-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He squeaks, hiding behind her. The ouppy peers out at them.

[melancholymari]

-She stood in front of him, just in case she didn't want him hurt because she did something stupid-

"Oh my goodness, Pepper... hi there, have you been alone here all this time?"

[the-annoying-juniper]

It squeaks, walking over to Mari and pressing its forehead to hers, sniffing her.

[melancholymari]

"Aw, hello... I missed you."

-She reached up and gave Pepper a few scratches, giving a gentle head bonk as well-

[the-annoying-juniper]

Its tail wags, and it moves to sniff the kid behind her, who recoils at first out of fear. It tilts its head, looking at Mari again.

[melancholymari]

-She gave a few pats to Pepper, silently letting it know it was okay before turning to Sparky-

"It won't hurt you, don't worry. I promise. It's really just a gentle sweetheart."

-She held out her hand to Sparky to offer to Pepper to sniff, offering a very small reassuring smile-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He hesitantly gives Mari his hand, looking at Pepper.

[melancholymari]

-She held it gently, slowly bringing it up to Pepper to let it sniff-

"He's good, alright?"

[the-annoying-juniper]

It sniffs at the hand, before nudging Marigold with its forehead.

[melancholymari]

-She used her free hand to give it small pets, frowning slightly before turning to Sparky-

"See? It's alright..."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“Okay… what is it??”

[melancholymari]

"Some kind of dog creature... It's my brother's. I... didn't expect it to still be here."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I don’t know what a dog is so I’ll take your word for it.”

[melancholymari]

"A dog is a companion animal people have for different reasons, like to not feel lonely or because they need them to help with everyday tasks."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“Ohhh okay! Kind of like a canidroid!”

[melancholymari]

"Canidroid? Whats that?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“Robots! They’re used to help people!”

[melancholymari]

"Oohh okay, I see. Yeah, we don't got anything like that here. Except maybe Lilith's idiots, or Lilith himself. I don't remember what he is."

-She gave Pepper a small head bump before continuing to walk through Juniper's place, hoping to find a fridge or something-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“Ohh okay!” He follows behind, grinning.

[melancholymari]

THERE IS! A CHILD! STARING AT YOU!

- @sparky-starts-fires

-She had paused to silently stare back at the child, her eyebrow raised. Since when was there new people again?-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He grins, his teeth yellow and sharp, and waves. “HI!! I’M SPARKY!!! WHAT’S YOUR NAME?!!! OOOO YOU’RE ORANGE!!! KINDA LIKE FIRE. THAT’S COOL!!!! WANNA BE FRIENDS?!!!!!!”

[melancholymari]

"Oh, uhhh. Hi there. Immm Mari. Yeah, uh, I am."

-She looked at herself, then back at him. He definitely reminded her of someone-

"You're red, that's cool."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU!!! I LOVE THAT COLOR!!!! IT’S SOOO COOL!!!!!” He giggles. “DO YOU HAVE FOOD? RAW FOOD WORKS TOO, DOESN’T HAVE TO BE COOKED!!!”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, I think I have a bunch of stuff left in my fridge. I don't know what, though, so just take whatever."

-She turned to head back to her room-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“YOU HAVE A WHOLE FRIDGE?! THAT’S COOL!! HEY, WHAT’S IT LIKE HERE?! I JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED HERE LAST NIGHT!! MY SISTER’S PROBABLY WORRIED RIGHT NOW!! BUT IT’S FIIINE!!”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, we don't have an actual kitchen, so. It works."

-She grimaced as she began to open her door for him-

"This isn't the best place to be, but it's been fine for months. Uhm. Hopefully your sister can find you."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“HOPEFULLY.” His tail wags a bit. “IS IT CHAOTIC HERE??”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, I'd say so. Good and bad chaos, I guess."

-She went into her room and held the door open for him-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He walks into the room and looks around. “I LIKE CHAOS! IT’S FUN!”

[melancholymari]

"It's okay when it's not life threatening."

-She shut the door and showed him where the fridge was-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“I LIKE THE THRILL OF DANGER!!” He giggles. “MY SISTER DIDN’T THOUGH. ALWAYS SAID ‘SPARKY, DON’T GO OVER THERE’!!” He huffs. “NO FUN.”

[melancholymari]

"If only we had that sort of choice, though."

-She sighed and dug through the foods in her fridge-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He stares over her shoulder, tilting her head. He recognizes none of this food and it shows on his face.

[melancholymari]

"I have ham. And fruit. And some chili peppers."

-She offered the different foods she could spot-

"Are you thirsty too?"

[sparky-starts-fires]

“MHM! BUT WHAT IS ALL THAT????” He tilts his head.

[melancholymari]

"Food. You can try whatever. I have caprisuns, milk, and lemonade for drinks."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He tilts his head to the other side. “I ONLY RECOGNIZE ONE THING YOU’VE SAID SO FAR AND THAT’S MILK…”

[melancholymari]

"Well, I promise it's food. It's really random but..."

-She then started to list the different things off-

"Ham is meat, fruit is juicy, chili peppers are spicy, caprisuns are juice in a pouch, and lemonade is sour."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He hums slightly, tail swishing. “COULD I TRY HAM? PLEASE?”

[melancholymari]

"Yeah, here."

-She hands him a package of ham-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU.”

He opens it and hesitantly tries a piece, pupils going way too round. He tilts his head, staring at it. “HOW MUCH AM I ALLOWED TO EAT.”

[melancholymari]

"You can have it all, I wasn't planning on finishing it anytime soon."

-She felt glad he found something he liked-

[sparky-starts-fires]

Oh and it’s gone in less than a minute. Bro was hungry. He’s purring.

[melancholymari]

"Well, I guess I know what to get for you to eat. At least you're happy."

-Don't be fooled by her tone and expression, she is genuinely glad he is happy-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“THANK YOU!! ALL THE STUFF AT HOME TASTED LIKE SLOP!!” Blegh. He sticks his tongue out, tail freezing for a second before continuing to wag.

[melancholymari]

"Maybe you'll like what we have here then, besides the ham, of course. I'm pretty sure if you like that, you'll like other meats."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“OUU… YOU HAVE OTHER MEATS HERE?!!! ONLY THE RICH PEOPLE GOT MEAT BEFORE!!”

[melancholymari]

"Its a pretty common thing to eat here. Cooked, raw, it's all the same to the people here. Hm... I can probably go see if someone else has any in their rooms."

[sparky-starts-fires]

He’s giving Mari the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

[melancholymari]

"Want to come look with me? I can show you around in the meantime."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“SURE!!” He’s jumping up and down, tail wagging. Is this lil guy a dog or a cat??

[melancholymari]

"Cool."

-She pats his head and headed back out of the room, hands in her pockets as she thought about where to go first-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He skips after her, giggling to himself.

[melancholymari]

-She hummed, walking down the hallway and checking each door to make sure she doesn't go into certain rooms-

[sparky-starts-fires]

“SO IS THERE ANYWHERE I SHOULDN’T GO??”

He giggles.

[melancholymari]

"Just where the dangerous weaponry and tanks are, and into rooms that can actually lock and have sturdy looking doors. Besides that, you're free to roam."

-She checked the entrance area for one room, humming as she debated checking for meat there-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He takes note to go there later. “OKAY!”

[melancholymari]

-Ever so slowly, she slipped into the room, checking around before waiting to see if Sparky would join her-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He slips in after her, eyes full of curiosity.

[the-annoying-juniper]

The room is dirty. Dirtier than usual. There are spiderwebs in the hoard, and it looks like it hasn’t been touched in weeks. Juniper’s not here.

( @melancholymari )

[melancholymari]

-She took a moment to silently observe the place, feeling a tad bit... hurt... seeing him not around. Maybe she'll come back to clean the place up, just a bit. But no matter, she needs to look for meat, so she sets off to do so-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He jumps, a sound startling him. It’s the ouppy, chat. The dog.

[melancholymari]

-She perked up and immediately started to look around. She could not contain her barely noticeable joy, ooohhh where is that ouppy-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He squeaks, hiding behind her. The ouppy peers out at them.

[melancholymari]

-She stood in front of him, just in case she didn't want him hurt because she did something stupid-

"Oh my goodness, Pepper... hi there, have you been alone here all this time?"

[the-annoying-juniper]

It squeaks, walking over to Mari and pressing its forehead to hers, sniffing her.

[melancholymari]

"Aw, hello... I missed you."

-She reached up and gave Pepper a few scratches, giving a gentle head bonk as well-

[the-annoying-juniper]

Its tail wags, and it moves to sniff the kid behind her, who recoils at first out of fear. It tilts its head, looking at Mari again.

[melancholymari]

-She gave a few pats to Pepper, silently letting it know it was okay before turning to Sparky-

"It won't hurt you, don't worry. I promise. It's really just a gentle sweetheart."

-She held out her hand to Sparky to offer to Pepper to sniff, offering a very small reassuring smile-

[sparky-starts-fires]

He hesitantly gives Mari his hand, looking at Pepper.

[melancholymari]

-She held it gently, slowly bringing it up to Pepper to let it sniff-

"He's good, alright?"

[the-annoying-juniper]

It sniffs at the hand, before nudging Marigold with its forehead.

[melancholymari]

-She used her free hand to give it small pets, frowning slightly before turning to Sparky-

"See? It's alright..."

[sparky-starts-fires]

“Okay… what is it??”
