[D3 EE] Occasion: Festival of Fire

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Oh yes, we have fireworks at festivals, but we don't have any bell bonking ones."

Crane fireworks were all about the aesthetics and only made noise when it was needed.

"With crane firework competitions, I'm sure there is an overarching demographic to determine the winner though. Their beauty perhaps. Easier to judge beauty than the bonking of a bell."

Then there was a loud bell sound which made her jump.

"That sounded like a direct hit."

Hinata had jumped as well but recovered quickly to yell towards the firing temple.

"OH GREAT BONK!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!"

He then turned back to Sumiko and Senshuzen.

"Oh they're totally judges on how . . " his eyes glazed a little as he remembered the official line " . . . aesthetically pleasing to both eye and spirit they are."

[Dai]

"Oh, that sounds interesting actually!" She nodded. "Well, I picked up a few things from the Firefly over my studies with them. If you encounter anything like that, and need help identifying it, let me know."

"Will do." He smiles, "Always good to have a friend in high places."

[Hotaru Sakura]

"Will do." He smiles, "Always good to have a friend in high places."

"I'll let the Firefly know they count as high places. Take care Dai-san, and be safe."

[Dai]

"I'll let the Firefly know they count as high places. Take care Dai-san, and be safe."

He laughs, "I mean compared to the slums here they certainly are. You as well Sakura-sama." The last jokingly enunciated.

"Ah, that does make sense. Hmm...Spider ones..." Sumiko looked thoughtful.

"You know, I can't think of any Spider fireworks festivals. I would expect them to be judged on the explosiveness, or perhaps damage done."

[Asahina Hinata]

"You know, I can't think of any Spider fireworks festivals. I would expect them to be judged on the explosiveness, or perhaps damage done."

Hinata really didn't know how to respond to that, but when has that ever stopped him?

"Oh really big bangs then? Maybe you can borrow some of this and try to bonk each other's bell hard enough for it to explode?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Oh really big bangs then? Maybe you can borrow some of this and try to bonk each other's bell hard enough for it to explode?"

"Really really big loud scary bangs that would knock the bell off. They'd be much louder than-"

BONG!

"....Ow. Ok, maybe not quite that loud. I think."

[Asahina Hinata]

"Really really big loud scary bangs that would knock the bell off. They'd be much louder than-"

BONG!

"....Ow. Ok, maybe not quite that loud. I think."

Hinata flinched, wide eyed.

"Wow!! What did they bonk it with? A shuttle?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

Hinata flinched, wide eyed.

"Wow!! What did they bonk it with? A shuttle?"

"I think it was a rocket firework" Sumiko motioned at the aftermath of colour around the bell "they are larger and create a much bigger bang. That bell is going to have a big dent in it! However, that is a much bigger firework...I wonder if those were agreed for use."

There was a thoughtful expression on the girls face.

"If they're going to start using fireworks that big I hope their aim is good, otherwise they might end up in the crowd."

Just like Senshuken's lines earlier this had Hinata checking he had hi densai with him for his healing spell . . . just in case.

"Oh, I hope they're extra careful with the big ones then."

"Oh, I hope they're extra careful with the big ones then."

"You'll quickly hear if they haven't. A large bang followed by many pretty colours."

And body parts she mentally added.

"Although it seems the amount of fireworks are slowing down. Perhaps they're running out?" She stood up on her tiptoes to try and see if any more were being prepared.

It was getting quieter, but the smell of explosive propellants would hang on the air for some time yet.

"Oh maybe the big one was that Temple's final shot then?"

[Susumu Sumiko]

"Oh maybe the big one was that Temple's final shot then?"

"Save one final blast for last?"

Sumiko giggled.

"Well if they had more it might knock the bell off, so a good idea! Are you heading back to the embassy after this? I can walk back with you if you want."

[Asahina Hinata]

Sumiko giggled.

He'd eaten all his snacks and they'd fired all their bonks, so there wasn't much more to do.

"Oh, sure. Is it the same way as the Spider Embassy?"

He'd been told where they all where more than once. They were lucky he remembered where the Crane one was to be honest.

"Hai Asahina-sama, it's in the same district" Sumiko nodded "maybe as we walk you can tell me more about what it's like to tour the galaxy? I've been visiting different planets but you've seen far more than I have. I'm curious."

(ooc - fade to small talk?)

"Oh it's ninety percent staring at the walls of shuttle and space stations. Soooo much travelling."
