just gotta ignite the light and let it shine

Who: Everyone who's stupid enough to show up for this, because legal drinking ages are for people from a different century/planet.
When: Afternoon/Evening, Day 30
Where: Lakeshore
What: Local Carnival workers get wasted and set off fireworks by the lake.
Warnings: Carnival shenanigans, ie. booze, drugs, and people getting set on fire probably. Put any tag-specific warnings in your headers!

So, Wismuth happened.

Lambert's pretty willing to bet a good chunk of the Carnival is pretty happy to act like Wismuth didn't happen, but he also doesn't really care about what sorrows people are drowning or not tonight: he knows he needed this drink, and after he'd slept off the immediate exhaustion that came with running around Wismuth for nearly two weeks with the power of Creation more or less constantly burning through him, he's ready to something, anything to feel like himself again.

Fast-forward to the lakeshore. There's a huge bonfire going, a box of assorted fireworks that's been 'liberated' from wherever the hell engineering keeps their supplies, and probably a crate of wine that's going to disappear sooner rather than later. Anything else, someone's going to have to bring themselves.

Hinawa blinks in confusion at the explosive in her hands, and it finally dawns on her what it is when she sees magical sparks trying to set it alight. She drops it with a yelp.

"I knew I was right to check up on things." She sighs, putting her hands on her hips.

Unfortunately for Hinawa, although she drops the firework, it doesn’t prevent Lambert from following it down automatically and lighting it anyway.

Which means there’s now a lit sparkler pointing between her feet, fuse burning down, and instead of replying all Lambert does is slowly blink at it. The paper trembles... and then starts to shake and shudder, disgorging multicolored shots Roman candle style.

Hinawa lets out an undignified bleat as she hops away from the sparks. With one hoof she starts to kick dirt on it in hopes of putting it out.

"What in the world is wrong with you?"

in which i swore i replied to this but i guess i did not

Even as Hinawa tries to scuff it out, Lambert rescues the firework from an early death, scooping it up and laughing at he aims it out towards the water instead. With hollow-sounding thumps, the sparkler continues to shoot out sparks that leave trails of blazing color in their wait.

"'What in the world is wrong with you'?" He mimics Hinawa's voice as best as he can, which is particularly awful because it requires pitching his voice to a falsetto. He laughs, after, ears flicking good-naturedly as he drops down to sit on the grass, content to let the firework going.

"Relax, would you? If anything happens, the Ringmaster can apparently bring people back from the dead, so there's nothing to worry about."
