First Night - Blossoms of Light

[Action]

[Tonight, a lone figure may be seen on the rooftop of the dormitories watching the fireworks go off in the distance. As lights fill the sky ever so briefly, his expression is lit up, revealing a gentle smile as he slurps a milkshake from a styrofoam cup. A definite plus to getting gift cards to takeout restaurants in Tatsuma's book.

Feel free to join him on the roof or give a shout between bangs to get his attention!]

Pardon me, but do you happen to know what the commotion is outside?

The woman at the register said it's Independence Day.

Independence day?

When America became independent from England.

[Apparently.]

So it is a simple celebration? [ ... Talk about an annoyance. ]

Some people take it very seriously.

[As evidenced by another round of loud bangs. Someone just set off three at once.]

I suppose I will not sleep tonight, considering the noise.

[ Stupid fireworks. ] If I may ask, where are you? [ If he's not asleep, then he might as well get the hell out of his room. ]

Dormitory roof.

I see. Would you happen to like some company?

I don't mind if you want to come up.

I will be right there.

[ If he was truly stuck in Prospero, he'd need to ~~start social links~~ mingle with the others that were in the same situation as he was.

So off he goes! Attempting to find the dormitory, and maybe, just maybe getting lost along the way. So give or take, about a good 20 minutes of wondering around the city until he notices Tatsuma on the rooftop.

Neah blends in as a student, so luckily, he does not get stopped by anyone, and makes it to the rooftop without much of a struggle. ]

My. What a sight. [ Nice, yet very loud. ]

[If Tatsuma is at all surprised, he is very good at hiding it. The finished milkshake cup is balanced precariously on the edge of the roof.]

It's been going for a while now.

It is a celebration. It is likely that it will be all night.

[ The fireworks, the drinking. Everything. ]

It's almost too bad I have school tomorrow.

[Except not. Tatsuma has mastered the fine art of dozing in class. He can even catch a piece of chalk in his sleep if he has to.]

... School?

[ Oh no. No no no, he absolutely forgot about that letter he received. ]

[He nods.]

The school dorms aren't too bad.

Ah... Did school happen to already begin?

Summer school.

We... are not required to go, are we not?

I don't think we are.

[Hearing the sound of fireworks, Haruhi hurries up to the roof to see. Maybe American fireworks are different than Japanese ones! As soon as she gets on the roof, she runs towards the end of the roof, her mouth agape.]

It isn't even Obon yet! This is awesome!

[Tatsuma pauses mid-slurp to see who exactly is joining him.]

It's the 4th of July.

[Haruhi scowls.]

I know the date! You think I'm stupid or something?

[Shaking his head now.]

It's a holiday. The person I asked called it Independence day, too.

A weird American holiday?

[Haruhi shrugs and turns back to the fireworks.]

Well if they make fireworks a part of it, it's a great holiday in my book!

They're pretty, aren't they?

Very.

[She smiles and watches the fireworks finish.]

If all American holidays are like this, I can get used to it! I wonder if they do this for Christmas too...

If we can't find a way out before then, we'll probably find out.

[He manages to look relatively unconcerned about this as he finishes off his milkshake.]

I'd like to stay and see.

[The fireworks over, Haruhi turns and runs back to the stairs.]

See you later mister!

[Waving, she heads down back to her hotel room.]
