WHO: Tom Lucitor and OPEN WHAT: Being a little pyro WHEN: The middle of the night, Wednesday/Thursday WHERE: In a parking lot WARNINGS: TBD STATUS: Open/Ongoing
Star was gone. Tom didn't like that one bit, even if he wasn't dating her or in love with her anymore. She was one of his best friends - he'd known her way before Marco even dreamed of knowing her - and it just felt really strange to be in a world that she wasn't in. It felt wrong, somehow.
But there was nothing he could do about it, which was just super frustrating on all counts. And he didn't feel like whining with Marco. Yeah, he liked Marco, but the kid was weird and he wasn't in the mood for it right now. He wanted to destroy things, and he had a feeling Marco wouldn't. The Safe Kid was still under there, somewhere. Even if he was buried deeper and deeper.
So he snuck out of his house in the middle of the night, and went to one of the parking lots behind a closed restaurant. He had a bag full of junk (stuffed animals, books, papers, etc.) that he poured into a metal trash bin, then with a wave of his hand, he lit it on fire. And immediately felt a little better. There was something about fire that was just awesome.
He sat on a parking curb, watching it, wishing that he had the power to bring Star back and keep this place from taking away people he cared about.
