Site 1: Anniversary

[killtheanimals]

[Word spreads among those who are still on Site 1: there are fireworks. Why? Because, that's why.

The fact that it's the anniversary of camp probably has nothing to do with it. Probably.

Anyway, if people do show up to the yard, there's indeed fireworks. Firecrackers, smoke bombs, fountain fireworks, sparklers, bang snaps, roman candles, and aerial repeaters.

The ground has also been dampened, thanks to a certain seawyrm. Do try not to cause any fires, everyone.]

[ Boa's mostly deciding that today is a day to go big or go home, but seeing Mitsuru play with his benign little firework is delaying that plan in favor of watching.

It's... really nice, seeing him so relatively at peace, firework in hand. A difference from the removed and saddened Mitsuru of their first firework encounter. The Mitsuru who'd told him, finally, just what had happened in his past. This date, one year ago, is when they met... but fireworks had been their start.

Boa feels disgustingly like Nine as this wave of sentimentality grabs hold of him, and yet he can't resist snapping a sneak photo of Mitsuru on his phone. ]

[He does look up to Boa, though simply because he noticed he's there, not because he's noticed the photo.] I'm surprised you haven't gone for one of the bigger ones yet.

[ Nice, his secret memory is safe without awkwardly having to explain all the sentimentality behind it. Not that the question doesn't beg for the answer 'I was distracted by looking at you'. Eugh. He needs to get out of Nine's and Lance's vicinity sometime. So instead of the (entirely true) cheesiness, he just smiles. ] You won't have to be surprised much longer, I was just about to. Though maybe we should save some of the big ones for when it's totally dark...

[On one hand, he'd get a laugh from that. On the other, he'd be laughed at because that's so cheesy.] Luckily, we have plenty to go through. [Look. Just because he's starting with a sparkler doesn't mean he's sticking to the small stuff.] I was a little distracted last time, so I wanted to give it a try again. [What with impending birthdays and death and whatnot. It happens.]

Last time was.... well, I cherish the memory, but it was a difficult evening. [ Boa is more than glad that this time, the fireworks and vague proximity to a certain date don't hinder Mitsuru's spirits. ] This time also has the added benefit of all of us having learned a thing or two about cool explosions. [ The one advantage of missions? And that one time burning detergent. ]

[He grins with amusement, walking over to toss the now spent sparkler into a bucket of water. No point in setting the place on fire with something as tiny like that. Once that's done, he turns back to Boa, arms crossed.] Alright. Let's see some explosions, then.
