Although Joli was taken aback by the wild nature of the town's "child prodigy", he happened to enjoy his enthusiasm to find a solution to the situation. In fact, he had even proposed a plan to use nearby barrels full of liquid, in the best case scenario inflammable, to cote and douse the more chaotic areas, as well as possibly prevent further spreading. However, that was before the young man he helped removed the debris so that the other kids, who he recognized as members of his school, pulled the old man out. It felt briefly like a moment of silence, but was quickly dampened by the deepening black of the the beautiful sky with ash and smoke. He heard the young man, who looked at least a few years older than Joli, at least in physique if nothing else. He was the one that had initially helped.
Still, saving the odd person here or there wouldn't really prevent severe damage. In fact, even controlling the flames wouldn't prove to be much of an act of valor. If anything, they should probably get out of there before they died! But instead, he ran to the barrels and tried to drag one to just outside the flames. However, it was surprisingly heavy. So instead, he found a container full of large novelty cups, about 12 in total and filled them up, carrying that to the more severe areas. He managed, on the first run, to put out some the flames, and after quickly the repeating the process, he realized he was truly getting no where.
How about the others? Surely they must have had better luck than him. As he looked around, he actually realized he was alone! However, they must be doing something well, because many of the flammable items from around the area had been stripped and removed, adding to his efforts in preventing the fire from spreading. Now, he thought, time to help those other crazy guys find people to save! Running as quickly as possible, again into the center of the mass of heat and smoke, he was hoping truly that the other three kids were doing well, especially the brown haired male...he seemed, more level-headed than the others somehow; that could come in handy.
