EVENT 005 {JUNE 2ND- JUNE 6TH} AURORA BAY FIRE

It's been about two months since the storm hit Aurora Bay and the town has been cleaned of debris, homes are re-inhabited, and any damage to businesses and homes is completely repaired. And with the flower festival having come and gone and summer just on the horizon, life feels pretty normal in Aurora Bay once more.

However, there has been talk around town recently about what may have happened to the money that was donated to Town Hall to help out the residents of Aurora Bay during the storm.

Some are concerned that not all the money was put to use and a journalist recently put out a report given by an anonymous source that the some of the money has disappeared and informed that this has not been the first time money has mysteriously gone missing. This has caused some residents to wonder just what this money is being used for.

Many have voiced their concerns, plenty of news outlets have written about it, but the Mayor of Aurora Bay, Raymond Ellis, continues to gloss over the issue--even as more records of money for the town seemingly disappearing continues coming to light and have started to have ties to the mayor himself.

Someone in town has had enough of this political corruption and hypocrisy though and has planned an attack on town hall. On FRIDAY, JUNE 2nd at 9PM a fire has been set in Ocean Crest Apartments from the inside, making it look like an accident on the 10th floor. All residents must evacuate the premises. While police and the Aurora Bay Fire Department will be busy trying to tame the fire in the apartment building, Town Hall will be raided by the culprit where they will find documents that prove Mayor Raymond Ellis has been stealing money from the town for himself.

Town Hall will then be set on fire with the Mayor trapped inside, effectively killing him.

An investigation will begin soon after to find out who is behind all this.

OOC Info under the cut:

This will be the second fire Aurora Bay has encountered. The first having been an accident in one of the abandoned buildings during the town's expansion five years ago. That fire had taken the life of Knox Ridley, an eighteen year old boy who had recently graduated from Aurora Bay High School. The survivors of that fire were Evelyn Watson, Blake Dixon, recently-released convict Jameson Cassidy, and Chief of Police's daughter, Darcy Anthony. No one but those names listed above knows Darcy was actually the one to begin the fire since her father covered up any evidence that led the fire back to her.

Darcy, Blake, Evie, and Jameson are not responsible for this fire at Ocean Crest but since they all live in the apartments and were in the first fire, some may assume it was them.

Closed Starter for @darcyxanthonyx

Upon hearing the news of the fire, Riley was nervous about her sister not making it. She sent multiple texts, called her and once she found out she was okay, it calmed her down. She didn't wanna lose her sister, especially after they got close once again. She then let Darcy know she was going to get her, and after that, she headed towards the apartments. Once there, she looked throughout the chaos and ended up finding Darcy, coming up to her and grabbing her wrist gently. "Darc. Hey, it's Rye... You okay?"
