θ-10 Come one, come all!

[bit_impossible]

[As soon as the sun as set, Doctor John Smith is up in a grassy area somewhere off near the malt shop, with a peculiar setup before him. But...those who know a thing or two about pyrotechnics will know exactly what he's about to do.]

[He turns his CAT on, a big, broad and excited grin on his face]

Hellooooooooooooo Luministi!!! It's that time of year again, and as always, the Mayor has asked me to kick off the celebration with a little display. [there's a mischievous twinkle in her eye] Not even Soph knows what I've got planned this year, so! I think it's about time I show you!

[He shuts the CAT off, and there is nothing for a few moments...

...but then, there's a high-pitched whine followed by an explosion of colour! One after another, fireworks shoot up into the air, and the good doc has not skimped on them. There are ones that change colors, shoot up into different formations, some that even transform from one shape to another.

The display will go on for a good hour, but while those are going on, the festivities have officially started! Parties in the town square with food, game, and drinking booths will go on. The rides are up in full force. There's even dancing going on in the southern shopping plaza area as well as the botanical gardens. Everything the mayor mentioned and more is there for everyone to partake in.]


[ooc: And here's the party post, everyone! Threadhop and stuff as you want! I'll leave it up to you guys to form threads based on location or event. But have fun! I'll tag in when I can! (And if anyone wants to direct tags to Ten, please say so in the subject line so I can see them!]

That's good, then. It wouldn't be right if you had to miss out on everything.

Dates? [He then looks down at the bear... and sighs a bit, before turning his attention back to Kon. He smiles, a little embarrassed.]

You know, I only brought Tiffany. [Implying that the others have just... found him here.]

[tactilekonesis]

Jeez, and I'm supposed to think you finding Madeline and Tori along the way was just "bad karma?" [He's half-teasing, half-grumping.] At this rate, you could take freaking Mr. Washington as your date and no one'd bat an eye.

[grandbellknight]

[SIGH.]

You know he's old enough to be my dad, right?

[tactilekonesis]

Yeah, yeah, I know. Still doesn't make your love life any less enviable. [At least Kon's man enough to admit he's jealous... and eat a couple of cookies while he's at it.]

[grandbellknight]

It's really not that enviable... [Croix shakes his head. This is how rumors get started, man.... >.> Ah well.

Subject change!] Those cookies look pretty good.

[tactilekonesis]

[He notices that subject change, man... but because he's still bitter over that love life, he'll go ahead and roll with the new topic.]

Want some? It'll be my treat.

[grandbellknight]

Oh. [Blink!] Thanks. Are you really sure about that? Don't get yourself in trouble on my account.

[tactilekonesis]

Mom and Dad'll just assume it was Vriska again. [Come to think of it, where did she wander off to?] I'm supposed to make sure she doesn't get too out of hand anyways.

[grandbellknight]

Well, if you're sure. [He smiles, grateful.]

Oh, so she is here tonight... Has she taken anything yet?

[tactilekonesis]

Probably. I'll know exactly what whenever Mr. Tennyson whines about it again...

[He really shouldn't be used to this by now, but Kon's given up on reforming her.]

[grandbellknight]

Well, let me know if you need any help with her. I can technically work tonight, or at least call someone else in. [... small sigh.] Not that it would get her to learn her lesson at all - it hasn't yet...

[tactilekonesis]

I don't think anything short of leaving town would help. [He'd seriously consider it, but as it is, Luministi's so awesome that he wouldn't THINK about leaving town himself.]

But thanks, I'll keep it in mind.

[grandbellknight]

[Leave town? Never! Luministi is such a great place to live, why would you even think such a thing~?]

Yeah, anytime. [Nod!] Want to come find us when you're done? We can all watch the fireworks together.

[tactilekonesis]

[Because he's that close to calling Vree weird!! In other words, even Kon doesn't know why a weird thought like that popped up.]

Sounds good to me. You thinking of anywhere in particular, or our usual place?

[grandbellknight]

The usual place. No reason to give up our view, right?

[tactilekonesis]

'Course not. [Right on cue, there's his mom to take over. Kon gives her a quick kiss on the cheek before he hands in his work apron and grins over at his friend.]

Ready to lose at just about every game ever? [Teasing~ ... mostly, anyhow.]

[grandbellknight]

Every game ever, huh? Right. You're on!

[And Kon really might legitimately win just about every game ever, but damned if Croix isn't going to make him work for it!]
