[ She's wearing this with a coat, gloves and a scarf. The cold will not get to her. ]

It's a firework. They're usually set off during celebrations.

[outdistanced]

[ she's so cute weh. he's wearing something like this with a crocheted yellow scarf because he's learned it's cold out here and he doesn't really like that. ]

What are we celebrating?

[fightolive]

Hmm... I'm not sure. But this place seems to go through a bunch of different festivals. Maybe it's just designed to go through a loop?

[outdistanced]

Is that what it is? I was wondering what was up with the decorations earlier.

Weird.

[ also he is sprouting white and yellow flowers everywhere today. cute! ]

[fightolive]

I think so? I'm not familiar with them, but they seemed too specific to be totally random.

[ Meanwhile there are patches of her skin that look an awful lot like some sort of metal. ]

[outdistanced]

I don't recognize any of it, either. I'm just glad the skeletons are gone.

[ they're freaky ]

[fightolive]

At least they aren't here all the time, right?

[outdistanced]

...Sure.

[ he'd rather they were never there. but whatever! can't tell heaven what to do, he supposes.

glancing back the fireworks now, expression thoughtful. ]

So you're used to this kind of thing? Why're they so loud?

[fightolive]

Fireworks need a certain blend of chemicals in order to make the patterns in the sky, and a container in the right shape in order to launch upwards. When the fuse on the container is lit, the powder is ignited, since the containers are usually pretty small, the reaction in a small space causes the noise.

[outdistanced]

[ whoa a science lesson ]

Okay. I didn't realize small containers could make something so big. [ THEY LOOK HUGE. ] We don't have fireworks at home.

[fightolive]

Impressive, right?

[ She did study to become an effective guide! ]

How do you like them so far?

[outdistanced]

I guess.

[ hm. there's a short, thoughtful pause. ]

They're pretty.

[fightolive]

They're fleeting, but they really make an impression.

[ Much like her namesake. ]

[outdistanced]

Yeah... I know someone who'd probably love these things. [ his voice is almost wistful

but anyway haha the light of the fireworks is probably glinting off of her metal arms, so he glances back at her after a moment ]

Are your arms okay?

[fightolive]

They don't feel weird. What about you? Do the flowers feel strange?

[outdistanced]

[ some of them start to turn a little pink ]

I guess not... It's just weird having them there.

[fightolive]

I'm glad they don't hurt. I wonder how long it'll stay like this.

[outdistanced]

Maybe for the week? If it's like that... holding hands thing. But I don't understand why that was going on in the first place.

[ sprouts a few leaves. ]

[fightolive]

I'm not really sure either... Maybe to get us used to dealing with each other?

This just seems inconvenient.

[outdistanced]

I don't know how this is supposed to help with that. These changes only affect us.

Is it actually metal?

[fightolive]

[ She taps on it with her metallic fingers. ]

It seems like it?

[outdistanced]

Whoa... Good thing there aren't any metal detectors here. Wonder why it would turn you into metal...?

[fightolive]

Maybe it's because the item it let me keep is also metal?

[outdistanced]

[ this gets a curious look. ]

What item?

[fightolive]

This.

[She'll pull out her hand-held metal device, mostly silver with some gold and turquoise accents.]
