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.

Age is an illusion and a mystery all in one, apparently. But, for now Gongenzaka seems to decide taking a seat is a good idea-if at least to close the height gap for conversation. "Hmm! I see- I, the man Gongenzaka, am choosing to follow the laws from home, myself- the proper age is...21," he adds, closing his eyes to nod. So...7 years? He's got time.

The man cracks one eye open, brows raised. "You say that as though there would be a sort of obligation, perhaps-a party is meant to be fun for yourself as well, is it not? That does not seem like a thing which can be forced."

"I guess?" Steven admits, uncertainly. Steven is pretty much a registered people pleaser - it's hard to separate what's enjoyable for other people and enjoyable for him, sometimes. He wraps his arms around his knees.

"I know I shouldn't... be super hard on myself or anything. I just... want to have a good time after the stuff that happened. I don't want to bring other people down for no reason..."

Hmmm. "Then...you worry what you are yet upset over will affect the others," Gongenzaka observes, nodding. "...I see..."

Well. He makes himself comfortable, in that case. "Then, I, the man Gongenzaka, shall remain here for now..! Be assured, you are not bringing me down in the slightest...if anything," he adds, winking, "Over the last few hours, I, the man Gongenzaka, have only 'gone up'..!"

This was a terrible way to reference being a foot tall for the month, and extra terrible given he never even told Steven about that-
