Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. It's a bright, warm afternoon, and already the waiting area of the emergency room is crowded. Conversations in at least half a dozen different languages fill the air with a tense, confused tangle of words. Off toward the windows, a thin, shaky young man jumps to his feet suddenly, drawing little attention from the visitors near him... at least until a moment later, when with a whooshing, cracking sound he bursts into flame. The scents of ozone and burning flesh mix sickeningly with the antiseptic hospital smell, screams fill the air as visitors scatter away from the contained, human inferno, toppling over chairs and shoving at one another to get away. A couple of nurses rush out from the station on one side of the room, but appear paralyzed by the sight, a sturdy paramedic steps in front of some of the crowd trying to calm them and gets overrun almost immediately. The chaos is literally but not figuratively dampened a moment later as the fire alarm sounds and the sprinklers turn on.
And at your legend, you're not completely surprised to be dropped into ridiculous situations. <g>
