o16 ★ WHERE'S A SURGE PROTECTOR WHEN YOU NEED ONE?

[electrowhipit]

Hey, I think I-- [ There's a horrid noise, followed by a burst of static over the phone and the line suddenly goes dead. ]

[ Meanwhile, the lights in the living room at 1249 Williams Road can be seen getting brighter, and brighter, and brighter. The TV kicks on and gets louder, and louder. Sparks start pouring out of outlets and lightbulbs begin to burst.

And here comes Jolt, making a mad dash out the front door, covering his head as the porch light erupts in a shower of sparks and broken glass. He carefully takes up position in the middle of the lawn- staying as far from both the house and the power-lines overhead as he can. ]

((ooc; Jolt's regained his ability to absorb electricity from outside sources- only now outside sources are absorbing it from him. All interactions will have to be actionspam since he can't go back inside or get near a phone.))

[Having not yet received his mail, it takes him the usual amount of time to get over to the house. And when he does, he's out of breath. He didn't bother shouting into the phone, because, really. What would that have done.]

[On her way to check the mail when she hears the cacophony and is nearly blinded by the bright lights next door.]

What on earth -- ?!
