> "Good catch about the bunk under yours, Ember. You do outrank the ones below you. So go find the next one down, and tell her what I told you."
> We'll make this a pyramid scheme yet!
>Sadly, bunk law is a long and bureaucratic system which explicitly states that each fairy is the superior to the fairy on the bunk immediately beneath them. Thus ordering about the person two bunks down as a lackey doesn't actually work, but telling her boss to order her about does. In fact, you notice several bunks that have been deliberately broken to stop a long chain of bunk-buddies from forming. Probably an anti-mutiny strategy or something.

>"Hey, how long you been around here? Know any neat secrets?"
>Not you, that's for sure. You'll win your crew's servitude through cunning and bravado! And maybe gratuitous bribery of shinies.
>"I just joined too," Ember answers. "Haven't really been able to do much other than, uh..." She looks away and scratches at her head. "One thing I can tell you is that this ship is really tall, and getting thrown off of it with, say, your wings tied up isn't very pleasant." She frowns. "It's not my fault the ship was so sparkly..."

>Ask Ember. She seems like she would know.
>"Never tried," Ember answers. "But I'm pretty sure I'd blow up before I even made it out of the barrel."

>"So what do we do next? Wanna go exploring?"
>"Sounds like a good idea," Ember answers. "But where do we start? I mean, the ship's pretty huge-"
Before she can finish the thought, a loud BANG echoes through the halls. A few seconds later, you see a trail of steam wafting from the direction of the engine room.
"LEVEL 1 FIRE IN THE ENGINE ROOM," Ada mutters over the speakers. "REQUESTING SUPPORT FROM ALL HANDS AVAILABLE."

EMBER joined your party!

Fortitude: Doubtful

Special Ability: My Grandfather Was A Prinny! - Explodes when shot.

>Follow the trail of steam.
>You run past a long line of fairies who are attempting to stop the trail of steam by inhaling it. They're doing a remarkably good job of it, though they have to tag out every now and then to tend to their burned-up mouths.
The trail continues all the way to the engine room, where the steam gives way to smoke. The room is verging on an inferno, and you can barely see anything for all the clouds and fire. Inside, you can hear the sound of a hammer smacking against metal.
"Don't panic!" a small voice yells from inside. "Everything is under control. I just forgot to carry a one somewhere." She doesn't seem to be having any trouble with the flames...

>It rustles back, then forward. Did it just wave at you?

> Maybe we can eat the fire, like we did the spoon. Have we ever eaten fire before?
> You've never tried, but you remember seeing a fairy who could do it at the circus. The fire here is pretty big, though, so if you're going to try that it'll be a sizable helping.

>Do we know our stats?
>Your Stats:

Vigor: Unending
Moe: Heartmelting
Fortitude: Minor [Defense is sort of a global fairy dump stat]
Fortune: Average

Special Ability: Loquacious - You can stun any other fairy momentarily simply by reciting or showing them your name.

>Look around for that voice we heard earlier.
>You'll need to check if they've got any of those in the kitchen sometime.
>You can vaguely see something moving around inside the room. All you really catch is a pair of wings fluttering about and fanning the flames. You also see a button on the side wall marked EMERGENCY SPRINKLERS - blocked by a wall of fire and smoke, obviously.

> Wave at the fire, "Hello!"
> Eat the fire. OMNOMNOM. At best we actually get to eat something worth eating. At worst we attempt to put the fire out with our face.
>"Wha?" The voice from earlier responds to you. "What is it? I thought I told you I could fix the piston, Ada! What're you so worried about?"
You're...not sure if she's even aware that the room is on fire.
>You crack your knuckles, take a deep breath, and bite down on the closest flame. Tastes smoky, and spicier than any pepper you've ever tried. You manage to keep it down, but even one bite is pretty tough to swallow. You'll need some flavouring if you want to make it through the whole inferno.
"Whoa." Ember seems impressed that you managed even that much, giving you a small round of applause. "You're not gonna have dinner after this, are you?"

>"They're right over there!" the girl yells. "Get 'em yerself! Geez, what does it take to give a girl some peace and quiet nowadays?"

>Again, a chance to test your mettle. This isn't a battle of the stomach, it's a battle of the mind. You mentally push yourself onward as you step into the fire, chomping down flames to open a path for yourself. The fire is so intense you almost choke on it, but through sheer grit alone you manage to keep it down.
With each step you take, the ground behind you catches alight again, undoing all of your previous work. Your stomach feels like the inside of a vacuum cleaner, but still you go on. It'll be easier when there's some flavour to the dish.
At last, you make it to the Sprinkler sign. With one mighty strike you smack your hand into the button, then tilt your head backwards to take in your victorious sprinkles.
...Why do they taste so much like water? This sucks.

>"Kyaah!"
You hear a squeak as the mechanic from before is splashed. The fires around her are engulfed by the sprinklers, eventually fading to nothing. You get the chance to see her at last - or at least, her vague form. She's so covered in soot you can't make out much other than her eyes. Even the sprinklers are going to take a while to wash that off.
"Now what'd you do that for?!"

> Whoa, whoa, whoa. We can eat fire? What else can we eat?
> The Queen always told you that you could do anything if you put your mind to it. With fairies, this claim is often very literal.

>You point at the smouldering ashes of the flames. Considering the entire room was alight, this involves you pointing more or less everywhere.

>"Hi, I'm Expendable Collateral and this is Ember Spark. And what's your name?"
>"You're not even apologising?!" The soot-soaked fairy stamps her foot, sending up a wave of ash. "That does it! I don't care what that fancy-shmancy doctor says! Bolt McScrew doesn't need her stinking glasses to get the job done!"
She lunges forward and swings at your face...and misses by a good fifteen feet.
"Take that! And that! And some-a this!" She continues to pummel the daylights out of thin air for a good fifteen seconds before stepping back, content. "That'll teach ya. Now to get this damn engine running again." She turns around, approaching a control panel, but instead she starts fiddling with a poster right next to it.

"Uh..." Ember lets out a low groaning sound and whispers in your ear. "Should we tell her? I mean, it's pretty funny to watch, but it's sad at the same time."

>"Is there a secret door behind that poster?"
>"No, but there is one under the engine," Bolt answers, totally unaware of what you're implying. "No damn clue where that thing leads."

> "You should tell her. I think I'm supposed to be dead now or something."
> Are there glasses visible anywhere?
>You wince from your not-injuries to make Bolt feel better.
>Ember eyes the rather heavy wrench that Bolt has picked up and is currently smacking into the wall. "Uh...I'll pass on that. I know she can't see for crap, but I'd rather not risk her getting lucky and actually hitting me."

>You can't see glasses, but there IS a small slip of paper lying on the control panel:
"Bolt, stop being stubborn and pick up your prescription! ~Dr. Doctor"

Ember raises an eyebrow. "If she can't see anything else, how is she meant to see what you're pointing at?"

>Say in a spooky voice "Bolt... I've come back from the dead to haunt you! Drop your weapon at once or I'll possess you!"
>Bolt tilts her head for a moment. "Dead? What's dead? Is that the thing humans become when they stop moving?" She shrugs it off and gets back to work.
