Snippet #16537

Ion placed her hand on the trunk of the tree and appeared next to it, visible for everyone on the island to see. She seemed to be unaware of the others, for she was fully distracted by the titan communicator. She pressed the big button to the left of the screen and seeming as if nothing happened, she began pushing all the buttons on the gadget randomly in great speed. "AAGH!" Ion yelled suddenly, tossing the communicator from hand to hand as it started spewing gray smoke.

The device finally fell to the ground and erupted into flames. Ion sighed in an irritated manner as this always seemed to happen to whatever she touched, although it could be a result of her curiousity. She picked up the half-melted communicator and the fire began to die slowly, as if she were drawing the flames away.

Ion's wrist and hand glowed orange in the fiery steam that enshrouded her. The broken communicator was cool to touch, as the flames had gone, but there would be no fixing the damage. She winced at the thought of having to ask for a new one.
