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.]

[outdistanced]

[ peers at it. he's not a tech person, though, he's clueless. ]

What is it?

[fightolive]

It helps me manage my illness. Not that it works right now.

[outdistanced]

Illness...?

Wait, you're sick? And you can't even-- Hold on, that's not right. They have to have some kind of meds for you here, right? Or... are you better now, because we already died?

[fightolive]

It's not contagious.

When I talked to the angels about it, they said my condition was slowed down while we're here? So it shouldn't affect me for the time being.

[outdistanced]

That's not what I-

[ shakes his head. that's not important. ]

It's just slowed down? There's no cure or anything, even in heaven?

[fightolive]

Apparently our bodies were preserved the way they were when we were alive. So...

I've been researching what I can in the library.
