Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

[ why flame resistant..............does it possibly have anything to do with his username ]

How do you feel about magic? There's a few people around that might be able to help you with that if you're alright with it.

I don't mind magic, no, but I'd be a little concerned for the caster.
This would technically need to be done daily, or at least, whenever I leave the base.
I'd hate for them to have to expend any more energy than necessary to maintain the spell, should I go down that route.

Daily? This isn't a one-off thing?

It's nice to meet you, Zagreus. I'm Fern.
I'm afraid I don't have a spell that makes fire resistant footwear...
But I wonder if you might have luck with "firefighters" in the city?

Hello, Fern!
It's all right, I know it's an oddly specific request.
You know, I haven't considered that. If they fight fires, surely their gear would be at least moderately fire resistant.

There are probably some fireproof sneakers being sold in shops around here if you know where to look.

Why are your feet on fire anyway? Can't you turn it off?

Oh! That's very good to know.
As long as it exists, I'm sure I'll find them.

As for why they're on fire, I was born with it. The only time they weren't alight was when I died.

Is there somewhere you can't go because you'll burn the floor? I can help you if you need me to.

No, no, it's all right. I was just thinking of our time at the beach, that's all.
Given the state of affairs outside the base, I don't want to potentially cause any further damage.

what the hell is wrong with your feet? show me

Edited 2024-07-03 02:57 (UTC)

[ unfortunately, zagreus is unaware of what feet pics really mean, so toji will get sent a picture of zag's feet. they're shaped regularly, except they're colored like hot coal, a bright yellow-red. the ground beneath him looks a little burnt. ]

As much as possible?

[ can't a girl be sad about losing the chance to confess to someone for the second time in her life for more than a few weeks without being handed a new plate,

she remembers you zag. cutie. ]

Aluminum foil might be your quickest solution, but it's a little noisy! It'll definitely keep the heat in though.

[ ... brain google, please, what is aluminum foil. ]

Oh...

[ ohhh. ]

It's so thin! That's amazing. Modern technology is truly fascinating.
Some noise is preferable to causing fire damage, I suppose. This is a great idea, thank you for the suggestion.

i don't think even the fire station has that kind of thing
but you could ask the cat doctor

Ah, no luck then, I see.
Thank you for letting me know, in any case. I'll try my chances with the good doctor if I'm unable to find an alternative.

woooaah flaming feet?
thats pretty nuts!
2 bad my buddy tails isnt here i bet he could make u some sweet cooldown kicks

maybe u can get metal boots or sth?

That's all right, I think someone said they'll be able to infuse magic into something to mitigate the damage done to the ground.
That was one of the suggestions, actually! Wrapping my feet in aluminum foil.

I do have something here that may work for you, but it depends on how hot it is you're talking about. But I'm a little confused on what you mean by standing on things and setting them on fire. I'm assuming it's an ability that you can't turn off?

i'm not sure about flame resistent.
but the sand usually gets pretty hot so you absolutely want socks.
i know a guy who wanders around the desert with NO SOCKS and then complains about it the whole way.
don't be that guy.

( With all the LOVE and Affection and Guilt in his heart! )

[ listen... when you have slutty ankles, sometimes you gotta show them off. ]

I'm assuming the socks are what keeps the sand out of the shoes?
