Alexander, expecting some kind of comment if not an outright answer, narrows her eyes as the man just makes to leave.
She lashes out with her gauntlet-clad hand, that was already stretched out towards him.
"Hey! I'm talking to you, no-face!
[Attack: 12+8=20]

Alex's fist glances off of the man's coat. The thud sounds dull, as if she hit metal instead of leather somehow. The man just keeps going as if he did not notice.

Alexander gives a proper scowl as her fist just glances off him and he just keeps walking passed. She lashes out once more, more out of hurt pride than anything else but once more it just glances off him, even weaker than the first.
[Draconic] "Oh go fuck yourself you big mommy-boy! Daren't even show your ugly face in public, eh?"
Both fists clenth at her sides as she gives a sulking glare after the man as he goes. What in the heavens was he? Walking metal? She glances at her metal-covered hand half in disbelief. That was a decent punch. And he didn't even notice.

The man walks out without seeming to even notice anyone in here. Liira watches the burning, screaming people over at the other side of the room with something of a detached amusement, and walks over to the bar where Ignis left his matches.
"Well, it's been fun. That offer stands, by the way- I'll even make it a thousand plat if you prefer. The bouncy guy knows where to find me."
She idly strikes a match and tosses it into the bar over her shoulder. Then she makes for the exit. The bartender who was sill standing there screams in fear and surprise.

Puck keeps running, and when he finds a place that actually has a high enough building, he starts jumping. Anything to get away.
He had to book passage out of this place. Couldn't stay longer... stayed too long already, in fact. He cursed his own stupidity, sighing heavily in the mists. Great. Well, fun was over in this land, but there was plenty of others.

Ignis sighs in relief. He'd get to talking with the people after he knew they weren't burning to death. Not everyone was like him.
He rushed over to the blaze and frowned. Great, that was nice and big. People first, control fire after them. He moved on to the next, rolling his eyes when he heard a fire start behind him. Sheesh.

The fire is starting to generate quite a bit of smoke and a roar as it consumes the bar. Over it, Ignis can faintly hear people screaming from upstairs. The next victim is a man, lying between the bar and the wall at the narrow point where you can get to the stairs, which is already burning quite happily. The man does not seem to be conscious- he lies face-down and is not moving. Seeing as he is on fire it is hard to see if he is even breathing.
Alexander, in the meantime, has her own problems to worry about. The blaze of the other bar shoots her way and she cannot jump away in time. The sparks lick her ankles and then shoot up through her alcohol-stained clothes. She too catches fire.

Alexander glares after the man as he leaves and then her attention is caught by the fire coming up her legs.
"Ah shoot. This isn't my day is it?"
She looks over to the Barman.
"You might want to get out of here, Trigg."
Still on fire, Alexander jumps down from the bar, moves away from the fire a little and looks over to Ignis.
"Need a hand, Red?"
She mutters a few simple words and makes a few simple gestures with her hands once more, her focus now on the man lying by the stairs.

"Uh..." Ignis watches, a little impressed. "Yeah, sure, help all ya want. Start by putting out the big fire before it gets the rest of the people upstairs. I'll take care of people down here. Nice flames. Fits ya. Course, it'll be the only thing that does when your clothes burn off."
Ignis moves on to the next person. "Unless your clothes can flame all night too."

Alexander grins widely at Ignis, obviously appreciating the compliment.
"Guy looked in bigger need."
She glances to the big fire. Now that would take some more effort. Better see to this first. Her attention turns to her own clothes being on fire and repeats the movements and words once more.

The body on the floor is drenched, but still not moving. The man does lie extremely still, and the same goes for the other two people, who are still burning. The one Ignis approaches is looking extremely black and scorched. People upstairs are still screaming. By now some of the people peep out of the toilets, scream and rush for the doors. No one emerges from the kitchen. The bartender on the other side of the room is crying for help.
Alexander easily drenches herself. She is now happily soaked. The woman in the tablecloth, the first person that Ignis helped, is weeping and trembling.

Alexander shakes herself a bit like a dog. Wet. Ick. Oh well. She looks up at the big fire by the bar and walks up to it.
"Alright- Alright, Trigg! Pipe down I can barely hear myself think!"
This would take some focus. Frowning a little as she takes a deep breath and focuses on the fire she begins to repeat the movements and words again and then again, repeating it several times as she calls Water in to existance to put as much of the fire out as possible, prioritising making an escape route for those upstairs and a clear path for Trigg.

Alex manages to put out most of the fire on either side. The barkeep immediately dashes out into the street, calling murder, fire, theft, high treason, and his mother. The people upstairs take a little longer to react, but eventually they too start pouring out. There is a rush, a crowd, pushing and pulling and shoving and cursing, and then they are all outside, and Alex and Ignis are left alone in the bar with the small fires here and there on the bar, the corpses on tables and bars, and the weeping woman.

Alexander swings around, arms flying out at her sides to keep her balance - she'd had a bit to drink after all, as she watches the bartender scamper out of the bar. She shouts after him,
"Don't mention it!! You're welcome, Trigg!"
She turns around again to face Ignis, pointing with her thumb over her shoulder after the bartender.
"Gratitude eh?"
She grins a wide grin.
"Are nights out with you always this much action?"

"You could say that." Ignis said, looking over the woman and handing her a drink. "Sorry about all this... everything will be fine, promise."
