[ open ] 'cause baby you're a firework
Who: Open mingle for any interested Cerealians! Or those who come by the park coincidentally.
When: ICly whatever Friday is happening during Event 33.
Where: The Park in the Residential District.
What: In an effort led by a ten year old and a sword that is not ten years old, Post-Robocolypse Cerealia gets a fireworks, watermelon, bottled water, and BYOB (bring your own blanket/beer/barbecue) late-summer early-fall afternoon celebration. That ends with the fireworks. Nothing can go wrong! (Anything you so desire can go wrong.)
Rating/Warning: There's watermelon to be cut and fireworks to be set off, so potential injury and fire involved.
There's very little formality to the whole of the affair. Anyone who wants can wander into the park, a few tables set up to hold water bottles, the area clear of debris and former robotic gardeners. Any dangerous areas of vegetation have been carefully marked with CAUTION — POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS tape. There are several watermelons carefully corralled together on the ground, paper plates, and a bag for trash tied to one of the tables.
Nearby, there's also a whole table of fireworks, from the handheld to the relatively safe to set off to the this probably should only be handled by a professional, but no lighters; all of those are kept over with the water bottles. Safety First!
The later afternoon is for slicing and serving watermelon and water (or any of the foods that people may choose to bring), with Chihiro at least fully encouraging people to use weapons to cut the watermelon (...) and turn it into a kind of impromptu show. Once the skies are dark enough, the fireworks will begin. Anyone willing to help out will be generally welcome, and sparklers and the smallest fireworks are around for anyone to grab hold of and have fun. The truly big fireworks are going to be set off at the far end of the park by a few brave, intrepid souls. (Unless someone keeps Chihiro away, that includes one ten year old.)
Pray they don't like themselves on fire or explode themselves, especially as almost every person at the party is probably guaranteed to not be fully functional. What can go wrong? Let's have a watermelon and fireworks show!

[Karl listens, responding with appropriate enthusiasm. In the end, it doesn't really matter to him what the fireworks look like, as fireworks are fireworks, not the answer to life. He appreciates Chihiro's attempts, with an imagination that he feels people lose as they get older (he doubts he would've been able to describe the fireworks the way she does, at least), but more than anything, it's nice just to have something to focus on rather than lie there awkwardly with his blindness.
He hopes that it's helpful for her too, to have something to say, or to be forced to focus on the fireworks—for something that, again hopefully, is entertaining for her as well.]

It's easier to let things slide away until all she's focusing on are the lights in the sky and the chill in the air and the way her bum falls asleep and she has to shift while trying not to fidget at the same time. It's not quite finale time when she finds herself stifling yawns with a hand, blinking back teary eyed tiredness. It's been a long, good day for the most part. ]
Mm, Karl-san? Do you want to stay through the finale?
[ She's a bit inured to the idea that blindness really stops people from moving around. Too stubborn to let it do that to her, she assumes the same for him. He's a fairly stubborn person in her opinion. He wouldn't let those things slow him down. ]
no subject
He hears that yawn, and he smiles.]
It doesn't matter to me! Are you tired?
no subject
Yeah. I'm not needed for clean up... until the morning, for whatever's left over.
no subject
I can help!
no subject
I'm going to touch your shoulder now, if that's okay.
[ So that he can know where she is when he stands; she doesn't want to touch him without giving him the courtesy that made her feel safer when her blindness fits hit. ]
Ah... thank you. [ She smiles; her tone of voice warms. ] We're going to have to take any non-edible trash a ways away. There's still no one in charge of general garbage here.
no subject
[He shrugs, smiling.]
That's fine by me! More exercise, right?
no subject
Do you not get enough already? You don't exactly laze around that I've seen...
[ Not what he's saying, Chihiro... not what he's saying at all. ]
