(((TW: fire, potential death))) You are a fire. You haven't been alive very long, but you know that your nature is to destroy. Your spirit is small and alive, but everywhere you go you leave behind a blazing trail of flames. You spread quickly, burning through the kitchen in a matter of minutes. Now you can move to other parts of the house. There's sounds of a TV coming from the [[LIVING ROOM]]. The [[DINING ROOM]] is full of valuable porcelain. <<set $peopleAlive = 3>> <<set $strength = 3>> <<set $peopleEscaped = 0>> <<set $foyerBurn = false>> <<set $garageBurn = false>> <<set $officeBurn = false>> <<set $diningBurn = false>> <<set $laundryBurn = false>> <<set $bathBurn = false>> <<set $smbedBurn = false>> <<set $masterBurn = false>> <<set $closetBurn = false>> <<set $livingBurn = false>> <<set $houseBurn = false>> <<set $Parent1 = 'LivingRoom'>> <<set $Parent2 = 'MasterBed'>> <<set $Child2 = 'SmallBed'>> <<set $hasChild = false>> <<set $garageIn = false>>

You've grown weak- your spark is dimming. Parts of you are still burning strong in the house, but you're struggling to spread any further. While you are trying to move, you feel the sting of a powerful blast of water extinguishing parts of you. The fire department has arrived. They spray down the house until you're reduced to nothing more than a few smoldering piles of ash.

You've burned through every room in the house. Your flames have weakened the infrastructure, and the house is starting to collapse. Walls fall into each other, supports topple over, the roof caves in, until the house is reduced to nothing more than a burning heap. <<if $Parent1 !eq 'DEAD'>> The person from the living room made it to the front door before you did. <<endif>> <<if $Parent2 !eq 'DEAD'>> The person that was asleep when you arrived made it out in a panicked frenzy. <<endif>> <<if $Child2 !eq 'DEAD'>> The child was rescued from you.

-fix endings lol -can't go back into rooms when they're burned? -maybe make language more clear about when some1 will die??? jenna didn't want to kill people in the garage but did when they burned it -change master bedroom to just bedroom?? language more abstract. fire doesn't know what shit is i feel like this has a high replayability value which is good but it might possibly be frustrating. maybe that depends on the player but i suppose we shall see make game end once everyone is either dead or escaped

You've closed yourself in this part of the house. Each area surrounding you is ablaze, the remnants of the path you visciously forged burning strong. You slowly die out, your spirit becoming nothing more than a pile of smouldering embers before you finally disappear, and the only trace that you ever existed is the wreckage you left behind.

No one was able to escape you. You burn down the rest of the house with their bodies still inside. Eventually, the fire department comes and extinguishes you, but they're too late. They couldn't save the people, they couldn't save the house. And no one will save you.

They weren't able to save their child. <<endif> <<if $Child2 !eq 'DEAD'>> The child was rescued from you.
