Premeditated Combustion (November Swear-In)
WHO: Ensemble cast!
WHERE: Rural areas of De Chima, Virginia
WHEN: November 8, 2017
WHAT: An autumnal, outdoorsy Swear-In event turns into disaster, when a fire begins to rage through the forests of De Chima. Homes and lives find themselves in harm's burning way. And when Drogon, Daenerys Targaryen's draconian companion, is discovered in the midst of the woods, suspicions begin rekindle between Natives and ImPorts. Plotting post is here, and a plaintext version is here.
WARNINGS: Fire! Disaster, injury, violence, please mark your subject headers as appropriate.
Part I ❧ Swear-In Party
November 8 and it's a beautiful day for camping in De Chima, despite the coming of Autumn bringing crisper and cooler weather. This month, natives have brought families and children from local schools and youth organisations, here to enjoy what the final fall month has to offer before winter sets in.
The central event is hosted lakeside, with fine fairy lights decorating the trees and open tents. Although the merriment never makes it into the later hours, there are torches on standby for further illumination, and volunteers setting up campfires, gathering wood, and placing chairs and logs for sitting. Food is a potluck set out on multiple lengthy tables, with some standard lunchtime picnic fare: DIY sandwiches, potato salad, apple crumble all served without fuss on biodegradables.
The event entire spreads out further than this one site, however. The lake is ripe for fishing, with equipment and some instruction on hand, rowboats and the long jetty reaching towards the cold heart of the water. Nearby rivers offer a quiet alternative. Late autumn foraging has been permitted by the officials, including: giant puffballs, the 'chicken of the woods,' elderberries and the season's last hazelnuts. Before the winter rolls in properly, you can get in some late season bird watching: terns, hawks, sparrows, and the odd egret.
If you'd prefer to keep your hands clean but like getting your boots dirty, you may enjoy a hike. Trails are clearly marked, initially, before they dwindle into tramped-down dirt and forest debris that slithers through the trees. Be sure to keep your bearings by the time the noise of the camp site is lost in the woodland quiet.
The campfires break out in the early evening, with barbecue, ghost stories, and s'mores as seasonal traditions. The darkness makes it all the more easier to see when strange firelight in the distance begins to rise.
Part I.2 ❧ Ghost Story Icebreaker
Now that we've broken for the night, why don't you try to a round robin ghost story? Sit down by the fire, pass around the flashlight for max spookiness, and craft your best spine-chilling tale - one line at a time. Somebody brought along a little computerized camping aide with a holo-generator, which will provide prompts. Hit the button enough times and you'll find something creepy. From there, a friend will add your next line. Don't be surprised if you end up with your companions writing weird fanfiction about you.
Part II ❧ Dragonfire & Rescue
However, before dawn rises the next day, a fire starts. If you aren't near enough to hear the crackling flames themselves, the wail of sirens comes up like a crescendo. The network becomes alive with chatter, both native media outlets and ImPorts raising the alarm. Is that-- news of a dragon? Confusion and panic abound, and then the accusations begin with the conspiracy theories as to how it started.
As difficult as the human factor gets, the fire itself spreads shockingly fast. And worse, the smoke multiplies thick, sickeningly noxious to those of us who need to breathe. Power lines and trees fall. Within an hour, news is that families are trapped in their homes, a group of children who've found safety by crowding into a lake.
But the more pressing question is-- will you help, or have you been harmed?

He let the man drop to the ground as he looked over his shoulder, making sure the kid got out of the woods. Better that he be scared but safe than getting hurt by some idiot looking to cause trouble.
