This was very unhelpful. Myrnin froze for a second. No. No. No no no. Not again! He'd done this before and he just couldn't. He couldn't. It started a low keening in the back of his throat and ended with him curling up on the tile he was on.

Mabel moved away from the chaos as music started to play, careful not to step on anymore tiles. Enough damage had already been done - now all she wanted was to get out of here! "Hey, that's Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley," she commented to nobody in particular, suddenly recognizing the song.

Kelsier watched the shadows envelop Myrnin, his eyes widening a bit. “Are shadows fireproof?” He asked, genuinely curious. He burned tin for just a moment, trying to tell whether the vampire was speaking. Oh, Oh no. “Nico, let him go.” He said suddenly. That was not the sound of someone grateful for protection. Myrnin sounded like he was in pain.

Myrnin rocked back and forth on the tile, his heads behind his hands and his head almost between his knees. He whimpered a bit more, but clearly started to feel better as soon as the shadows were gone. Light flooded back and he almost physically dropped in relief. But he still waited a bit ... in case they'd attack him again. What ... why? Why had that? Nico was there ... Oh. Just ... Oh.

"That's what we're trying to do!" Enjolras retorted at Lila, shooting more fire extinguisher at the flames. It sputtered, seemingly running low. Perhaps he'd better start using it economically and save it for warding the flames off of the group of blinkers. Myrnin, in particular, was flammable. "Shade, Hook, get over to the group if you can! The fire's spreading!"
Speaking of Myrnin, he was not doing too well. Enjolras spared a glance back at the keening vampire, seeing him crouched terrified on the ground as shadows dropped away from him.

Lila looked at the shadows in wonder, curious about Nico's strange ability. She hadn't seen him step on a tile. "What was that?" she asked, gesturing towards Myrnin.

Hook set down his flask temporarily, resting his head as he did so. Without looking for the Frenchman, he raised a middle finger towards him as he started shouting orders. Then raised his head to drink again.

Screw feeling her age, Shade was feeling at least double that if not triple. It was like being dragged through a preschool in hell but flooded with teenagers and on fire. Begrudgingly she lifted her head for just a moment, hoping to get a grasp on what the situation was, but promptly backtracked and returned it to rest on a very thoroughly cooked turkey covered in skittles and whip cream. Perfect for hiding her sight from this mess. Just drop a bed in, why don't you?

Myrnin very carefully unwrapped a hand from his set of arms when Nico crouched down. His eye was blearily looking out from his mess of short-ish hair (it still hadn't grown back all the way). He didn't smile. He didn't really look much of anything. But the hand patted the top of Nico's hand. And he just kept shaking.

Kel watched Nico go. He didn’t understand why the shadows had hurt Myrnin, nor did he understand why Nico hadn’t realized they would, but there was nothing he could do now. Nico was gone before he could even try.

One ear perked as she heard Enjolras shouting and she lifted her head again, blinking through whip cream with a grunt and hopping to her feet. "Alright- alright, off we go...!" She brushed her arm over her face to at leasst get most of it off, looking around at the ABSOLUTE F[oops]ING CHAOS and for something to put the fire out... But everything looked pretty flamable. F[oops]. "We should find a door!" She called out.

From the corner, Asami's wilted form raised a single eyestalk, then tried to form a mouth, her pale tendrils contracting and shivering with the effort.
"Gas....o....line," she said.

Nico watched Myrnin for a long second, not even flinching at the feeling of Myrnin's hand on top of his own. He took a deep breath in, weighing his options. If it were him sitting there shaking, someone coming near him would have made it much, much worse. But this wasn't him. This was Myrnin, and worst case scenario, Nico just made it worse... which didn't help much, but the thought was there anyway. Without giving it another thought (if he did, he'd back out), he wrapped his arms firmly around Myrnin, trying to hold his friend close. With any luck, this would help. It seemed to help some people back in his world, when their friends did it. Which... wouldn't work if Myrnin hated him now.

Suddenly, Mabel was knocked off of her feet. She slammed into another tile, causing a flock of chickens to appear. They immediately started clucking and wandering around (hopefully they wouldn't activate even more tiles). They also happened to be on fire, but they didn't seem to care. What just happened? she wondered. Had one of Asami's tendrils hit her, or had it been something else? Then, she saw someone land beside her. At first glance, she didn't recognize him, but with a closer look she realized he was the guy from the living room a few days ago. "Hi!" she greeted, getting to her feet.

"What the blood hell did you do?!" Lila exclaimed, backing up. Whatever the thing he'd poured on the fire was, it certainly wasn't a fire extinguisher.

"I'm Mabel!" Mabel greeted. She would've stayed around to chat, but the fire was getting stronger. There was no time for introductions. Seeing that he seemed to have trouble getting up, she reached out a hand to help him.

When Myrnin blinked back in - after the House had so graciously killed him for the fifth time - he was crying. Not about the fire, so much as the fact he very much hated dying. The existential crisis of doing so did not go away. Coupled by the fact he'd almost done it in the dark didn't help in the least. But hey! He blinked in full on sprawled on the couch so he could cry bloody tears into that, so that was fine, right?

Before they could get themselves into anymore chaos, Lila and Mabel blinked out.

Nico reappeared in the living room, eyes wide with the memory of the fire expanding and then... darkness. Right, okay. That was death. Again. The House just couldn't seem to get enough of killing him, could it? He glanced around the room, his eyes catching on Myrnin, crying. Oh. He'd made a mess of this. He'd... he'd only been trying to help, and he'd done this to quite possibly the strongest person he knew. He grit his teeth, forcibly stopping himself from going over and just making it worse. Instead, he turned tail towards the hallway, where Myrnin wouldn't have to see him.

Hook blinked into the living room, another death on the tally board. He wasn’t too upset, in fact, the cold, quiet floor off the living room was rather comforting. He glanced to see he was laying next to two sets of feet that were seated at the coach, but the pirate didn’t see any point in trying to move his sore body. He didn’t bother trying to drink for the moment, letting his body relax for a few seconds as he tuned out the other’s conversation and sniffles.

Kelsier appeared on the floor, gasping for breath, shaking. He straightened up almost immediately, turning, searching for...for...for something, He paused. He found it. The Mistborn took a step forward, then another, approaching the other man. He was ignoring Enjolras, not out of any disrespect for the other man, but just because he wasn’t the interesting, kind, hilarious man currently crying and shaking on the couch, “He didn’t mean to hurt you,” he said softly, hoping that somehow, Myrnin would hear him. Would understand him. Then he turned as he heard Nico, and his eyes widened. He headed after him without thinking or hesitating. “Nico, wait,” he said. Pleaded, almost. “Wait. Please? He’s your friend. You can’t...you don’t want to walk away from him. Not right now.”

Oh. He's blinked onto someone. Myrnin's solution to this was to sniffly shuffle off the couch - or rather roll off ... And then flop right back onto couch but the other way around, so that he could reach over to Hook too. He half met Kelsier's eyes and there was just the tiniest of nods. Maybe he wanted to hug Kelsier a bit more than the Frenchman or the drunk, but he was far too aware that Nico needed someone right now. They'd have to excuse Myrnin if they were the second choice. And he did hug Hook (guy smelled bad, but ah well) and one arm awkwardly went around Enjolras. The vampire was still physically shaking. Badly. And it should be noted that if Enjolras hadn't already been wearing browns and reds, he would have noticed the tears.
