Who: Helena, Haru, Gokudera, Max, Hubb, and still OPEN!
Where: Hong Kong's room
When: Toward the end of the blizzard
Rating: PG for swearing?
Summary: Some people get together to launch fireworks in order to lead the lost people back to the Mansion.

Helena and Haru had one encounter before, a very brief exchange over the network, that had left her with a bad impression of the quarter-lynx. Needless to say, actually doing something with him is something she never really considered, but for tonight she could make an exception. Maybe he wasn't so bad, in any case.

Besides, if this idea she had of launching Hong Kong's fireworks managed to lead the lost people home, then she'd put up with anything.

Out of breath from climbing so many floors, Helena arrives at Hong Kong's door, and enters immediately.

Hubb handed the next couple to Max. "Short fuse." He advised, noting the different make of this set.

He scoffed briefly. "It's Hubb McCann, boy." No more than that, since this really was not the right place to be picking fights.

He let the other two handle the other set, at least death wasn't too permenant here.

Max nodded at Hubb with a muttered, "Thanks." Keeping an eye on the lasting sparks from the fireworks Gokudera set off and being sure to launch a new one whenever said sparks began thinning out, she figured that the two of them quickly fell into an easy rhythm.

Raising her voice so Haru and the others could hear her over the sounds of the explosions, she eventually called out, "How long we planning on going at this? 'Til we run out or 'til our peeps get their butts back in here?"

Haru sighed with relief. He had dodged the wrath of a teenage girl once again. He wouldn't mention yet that he had seen them together at the ball.

"Until we run out, Max! Let's face it. We can't keep it up forever and..It's mostly about feeling useful isn't it?"

Accepting fireworks from Helena, Gokudera alternated setting them off with Max. At her question, he looked over and added, "I've got a lot of explosives on me. They don't have the same effect as the fireworks, but they're loud. We can go as long as you guys want to."

When Helena thought about it, while passing more fireworks, she had to agree that the chance of this actually saving anyone wasn't that big. But it was better than doing nothing. Much better.

Haru gets her thinking, and for a while she's silent. Although she does speak up after Gokudera.

"Yeah, let's just keep it going for as long as we can."

"It's not like we have anything better to do." Hubb added to the conversation, selecting the likeliest looking fireworks to hand over to Max.

Grabbing the next set of fireworks off of Hubb, Max turned to Gokudera. "I really hope you knew you was coming up to help before headed out, or else I'd be asking what you're doing walking around with explosives."

Letting off another firework, she added, "Just so long as we get the chance to blaze before everything falls to pieces, I can keep this up for hours if I gotta."

[Anyone for wrapping this up?.]

"He's always walking around like a bomb~ And he smokes all the time too! All you need is a match and he'd be dead!"

Haru hoped that Gokudera thought about that for a moment. If he couldn't have his drug why should the other? He watched the sky with a hand shading his eyes. Well it certainly was bright and colorful up there now.

"Oh yeah that's right. I forgot that we're stuck in an insane mansion bent on keeping us trapped in it's boring halls~"

[Sounds good to me. o/ This'll be my last post anyway.]

Gokudera shot Haru an annoyed glance. "No one's managed it yet." He looked at Max. "Yeah, I carry dynamite on my at all times. But I know what I'm doing."

If Haru thought he hadn't considered the dangers, he was wrong. After so many years, Gokudera knew how to handle his weapons and, more importantly, how not to handle them.

He turned his attention back to the fireworks, continuing to accept them from Helena and set them off until they ran out of stuff that would explode or the others decided to call it quits.

[Sure sure :D]

Helena was busy watching the fireworks to really listen to the conversation, although she did notice some banter going on between Gokudera and Haru.

She doesn't really know if they'll notice, but she grins at all of them, happier than she has been in a few days. The fireworks are great, they all felt pretty useful... And for the first time she felt sure that the others in the snow would soon be back.

Gotta end somewhere :)

Hubb just kept up his half of the work, this might not do anything, but it was something.

And they were all still arguing. Kids...

I'm cool with a fade to black if ya'll are. ♥

Tilting her head at Gokudera before letting out a careless shrug, Max replied, "So long as you don't spontaneously combust, I can be down with that."

She didn't know who all was missing, but she assumed that most of the people there with her stood to get back someone they cared about. If that was the case, then Max was more than happy to light up everything with a fuse within her reach. And if the crazy pyrotechnics going off in the gray sky didn't bring people back, then at least she helped to give these kids a bit of hope. That's more than a lot of people back in her world ever got.
