[Estelle appears on the Warp Band network, grinning brightly and leaning down towards the camera. Union's residential district is visible behind her, complete with the towers. And the snow. She's grinning at the camera cheerfully.]

Happy Salvation, everybody! This is a pretty fun holiday. I was thinking, though...

[She nods. Then she looks... a little smug, maybe, because she has a great idea and that sticks in her head, now.]

I know a great place that sells fireworks in Caldera! I bet we could get some other stuff there for the holiday. Anyone wanna come with me next week? We can get all sorts of cool stuff! Let me know.

[Lux perks up a bit.]

Fireworks?

[brandnewshoes]

Fireworks! There was a shop in the neighborhood of Caldera that I grew up in. Mr. Melders sells the best fireworks. Nothing like them!

[ladyofluminosity]

I didn't realize that they made fireworks in Caldera. I'm used the ones we have here. They're really pretty, and fairly big. I wonder if they're similar.

[She loves fireworks.]

[brandnewshoes]

They're great ones! They're big and pretty colorful. Some are shaped like Pokemon! I want to get some of those.

[ladyofluminosity]

Those sound like a lot of fun! I'd love something like that for the party. Maybe I should talk to my father.

[Although he probably wouldn't be able to make the arrangements in time, with how busy he is.]

[brandnewshoes]

When is the party? Maybe I could bring some!

[healthepot]

I'd certainly be interested in tagging along if you'll have me. I've been meaning to visit Caldera soon, anyway.

[video]

[brandnewshoes]

Of course! It'd be great to have you along! I'm Estelle. [nod!] Estelle Bright.

[video]

[healthepot]

Excellent, thank you! [A bright smile.] I'm Natalia Lanvaldear. It's nice to meet you, Estelle!

[brandnewshoes]

You too! Is eight o'clock in the morning on Monday okay? It'll give us plenty of time.

[makeitquick]

What's a firework?

[ It does sound familiar-ish, but. You know. Might as well check. It sounds cool ]

[brandnewshoes]

They're awesome decorative explosions!

[makeitquick]

Y'can sell an explosion in Caldera?

[brandnewshoes]

It's more lights and sparkles than. uh, devastation and destruction?

[makeitquick]

[ ... Huh ] Alright, I'm in. If you're needing more, I can haul some stuff.

[folklorist]

Fireworks, hm? [ He knows how popular those are during the event and he even likes to set them off himself. Though it's usually in more grand and elaborate displays. ]

I wouldn't be opposed to coming along. If you wouldn't mind the company of an old man like myself. [ Helios is teasing, don't mind him. ]

[brandnewshoes]

The more, the merrier!

[She pauses, though. He doesn't look that old...]

...how old are you, though? You don't look ancient or anything!

[folklorist]

Ah good, good, I share the same sentiments actually.

[ Here he'll smile and laugh. Well he can't say he agrees with her but it's a nice enough reply. ]

Thirty-two. So I'm a bit a ways from being ancient for now. But the compliment is certainly appreciated.

[brandnewshoes]

Yeah! That's only twice my age. Not that old at all!

[She's helping. Really.]

[folklorist]

[ Helios snorts at that. But there's an amused smile nonetheless from him. ]

Well despite my age I am quite good at traveling. So I'll definitely join you and whoever else you plan on going with. The more the merry as I always say when it comes to exploring and visiting other places.

[second_destiny]

Fireworks? Can they even be set off with snow on the ground?

[video]

[brandnewshoes]

Sure! You just gotta be careful to not get the fuses wet, but if the stick thingy's long enough, it's fine. Mr. Melders showed me--uh, not in snow, but when we had rain for once and the ground was soaked.

[second_destiny]

Ah, okay. It'd be an interesting way to celebrate, that's for sure. We don't have fireworks around here too often, and I'd bet there are people here who've never seen them in the first place.

[brandnewshoes]

Yeah! That's what I was thinking, you know? Show people something fun!

[second_destiny]

Sounds like you'll need to come up with something even better to ring in the New Year.
