mannequins + TERRITORY IN FLAMES

[Masie]

Masie had unknowingly had experiences with fire in the past, but her encounters with the element were all 'indirect' controlled in someway. Even when Baku had burned her, it was exposure to flame through another conduit, someone else was controlling it. When fire was not controlled by some creature directly? It was a whole different ball game, the scent of smoke awakening her from the nest and causing her to race off in order to investigate, not quiet connecting the scent of the fire with the substance known as fire. She had very little reason to draw such a line, even with Techno occasionally sparking up and burning things like macaroni, that was different from an actual fire that spewed smoke and charred the air with what it had destroyed.

Golden eyes widened and she took a single step back after darting into the clearing expecting some new joyous experience like most of how she perceived the world. Masie couldn't twist this positively or annoying, something wasn't right here! Before her young eyes bright red consumed the building, heat like what had burned her floating off it. Small claws tapped as she stepped back again, remembering the pain that shot through her muzzle, slowly coming to the realization from the jumping and licking of flames that the threat they couldn't touch without injury was now mobile! "CC! TECHNO!" The actual list of names she shouted was longer, but it was kind of lost in her rapid head snapping, alarmed cries rising from her throat, panicked by the realization she had no idea where some of the rest of this pack was, and there was a very real threat that could hurt them. How could she protect them like Owen protected her if she couldn't find them? The smoke scent blanketed everything, her nose unable to work as it should have. Father and sister's had been at the nest, but not everyone slept with them, so where was everyone else!
