Oiiii!

You guys like fireworks?!

[Ah, there it is, the call of your Nonah resident fuckboy, Kaneda. A change of pace from the last time he showed his face on the network, that’s for sure. And still lacking any sense of volume control, we see. The feed clicks on, showing the boy in...Ken Amada’s room? It’s got a giant stuffed bear in the corner, a desk with what looks to be a boy’s winter homework, and a sleeping Koromaru on the bed. Not a layout you'd expect from a bosozoku biker to have...so process of elimination in this house can only narrow it down to (1) Ken Amada.

Why is this in Ken’s room? A good question, since there's nothing really wrong with Kaneda's own room... Well, it is Kaneda, and he’s been known for his eccentricity...but also it’s been where he’s been sleeping the past few weeks. He won't admit it out loud, but Ken's been one of the major factors of him actually getting up and around the house. It just seemed natural to host it in that room, since he'd taken up residence there for the time being. He can’t really enter Tetsu--the empty room. And his own just reminded him of how alone he felt. He’s NOT having that.

Whether or not he’s shoving down his problems or truthfully moving past his best friend and adoptive brother’s departure is another story entirely. But with a new year approaching, it meant a new Kaneda, and he squared his shoulders, faced the screen, and took another metaphorical step. It was all he could think to do.

...


Right, fireworks. Kaneda is quick to show what this broadcast is about, holding up three plastic shopping bags one one arm filled to the brim with fireworks--an odd assortment, as if he’d been shopping at some weird explosives bargain bin. Don't ask where he got it. It start with an M and ends in aurtia Falls.]

Course ya do, what kind of person doesn’t like fireworks?

[His one free hand pats the bags with pride, dusting off his knuckles on his shirt. Confidence bleeds from him once more, it seems.]

Point is--I’m launching these tonight in the west Nonah outskirts.


Got nothing to do? I’ll be there.


[ooc: There’ll be an open log going up later today for the fireworks party! I'll edit with the link once I get it up. Answering this post isn’t necessary, but if you wanna chat up before then or ask Kaneda questions about his YOLO, feel free to!]

I set off some fireworks, I have to beat off cops in a drainage ditch and make a RISE member suck on my shoe. He sets off some fireworks, it's a fucking party.

It's the kinda thing that makes you want to dump a bucket of water over some shopping bags full of pyrotechnics, that's all I'm saying.

Texting.

That's all you're texting.


And don't tell me you want to be a law abiding citizen and do what the cops inadvertently want you to do.

[rideme]

Well shit, where's my personal invite. I'm hurt.

[No, he's not. He's not even remotely. He's just glad to see Kaneda talking more confidently. More like himself.]

audio;

[rassera]

Not my fault you can't hear me upstairs!


[Yep, that's as personal as it gets. Then again, who can't hear Kaneda when he's practically shouting through the house?]


You coming or not?

[dendarii]

Exploding everything sounds fantastic right now.

[rassera]

[His hands clap together seeing Mark on the screen, smile practically bursting onto his face.]

Oi, you're the guy who won Nonah, right?


Can I call that an Official of Approval and an--what do they call it?

RVSP?

[Video]

[sleight_of_hand]

...I can hear the police sirens already.

[ He's being so sarcastic it's probably dripping out of the communicator. ]

You sure you can handle that kind of fire power?

[Video]

[rassera]

Oh that? Just my theme song, nothing to worry about.

[He sees your sarcasm and raises you with a shit-eating grin, buddy.]

I've handled bigger.


Probably. [He has no idea what half of these do, but that'll be the fun part.]

[monge]

...Did you grow those yourself, zura?

[Komasan does not need to explain why he believes fireworks are a type of plant. It's a very long and complicated reason that essentially boils down to "they look like flowers."

The point is, Kaneda doesn't strike him as a gardener and who is selling flowers in this kind of weather?]

video

[rassera]

Hmm?

[Komasan's always been known for...having strange little mental connections to things, and this one's no different. It does take him a moment to even think about what this one could be. And unfortunately, he's coming up with nothing.]


I bought them! From incredibly reliable sources.


[Maurtia Falls. Very reliable A+ recommend.]

video

[khajidont]

Ken will be there too, huh?

Well, I'll be there. Don't blow stuff up without me.

[JOKES, HE'LL BE THERE FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLY]

video

[rassera]

If I've got anything to say about it, you BET he will.


Thing is, I'm keeping them in his room, and the only way they leave his room is if he comes.


[Isn't he a great older bro for him, Jaime.]

Are fireworks usually set off for New Years?

[rassera]

[ Well here's a long lost face, one that clearly doesn't recognize Kaneda's as a man he's met before. But he sure is having an easy time with the Japanese coming out of his mouth. Huh.

James is no longer seeking medical care, but it's hard to tell since half of his face still looks banged up to high heaven. Maybe he should still be in a hospital bed, not Nonah. ]

Are you designated light or can some of us have a turn?

[rassera]

[Whoa, talk about memories. Kaneda's eyes have to focus again, making sure that he's even seeing this. He recognizes Bucky, but at the same time. He has to wonder what the fuck he missed in this passing time. Had they really avoided each other for that long?

It's weird. Admitting that this is weird.]

Free for all.


You know, living wild and free and all that America preaches.

[aboveand]

Where in west Nonah?

...And weird request: any chance I can bring my dog? I think he'd actually enjoy hearing some explosions.

[He's a Gotham dog. Nothing scares him.]

video;

[rassera]

Ah--lemme grab this. [Cue him digging around off screen to pull out his Tourist Map of Nonah. Just to make sure he can get the English street name right as he pings over the GPS directions.]

Right there, about a mile off that old scrapyard they've got. Nice and far away from the city, yeah?


...


You have a dog? What kind?

[scrap_metal]

Celebrating New Year with noise and blast?

Are there any free spots left? I need two.

[rassera]

Oiiii cyborg!

You could use a little social interaction--you're definitely coming.


[Wait. Two?]

Bringing a date?

video;

[hardcorduroy]

(you have wendy's full and undivided attention, kaneda, along with a devious smile that says she is all for anything illegal.) Okay, man, how illegal are they.

video;

[rassera]

That requires actually reading the law.



[Which he's never done.]


But I got them from completely legitimate sources.

[resipiscent]

Nothing to do indeed.

[rassera]

Good, you were coming anyway.

[Things he just decided for you, honestly.]

Think you can do me a favour and pick up some food from the convenience store to bring? I just decided I want it to be a bonfire too.

video;

[amadaman]

Did you just turn my room into your recording studio.

video;

[rassera]

Yeah.

[No shame.]

You've got a lot more space in here. [That's a lie. He just doesn't want to use the other rooms for #reasons]

[missleadingquestions]

Why's it gotta be in Nooooonah???

[She's whining, but it's all fake. She's got a cute warm outfit and everything, it'll be fine.]

video

[rassera]

Ehhhhhhh Why's it gotta be in Nooooooonah???

[He sees your whining, Maya, and raises you a high pitched mockery of it.

He loves you.]
