A; Phone
Everyone's acting really strange today! But something does feel weird, even if this is Mayfield and Mayfield's really swell! But does anyone know what's going on?

B; park, evening
[Peter has acquired fireworks! Who knows where he got them. They're just little ones, sparklers and that sort of thing, but he seems delighted. After all, what better day to have some than the Fourth of July?

He pauses, though, before lighting a sparkler. Something's wrong, definitely. He's felt it all day...]

Peter! Be careful with those.

[micronation]

They're not that dangerous, Mr. Jer--Kirkland.

[is-an-island.livejournal.com]

As long as you don't act rashly.

... Are you going to light it?

[micronation]

Y-yes! [He does, now that he's reminded.] I saved up my allowance for weeks for these.

[Shouldn't he save them for September? Wait, why?]

Why'd ya stop? Hurry up. And let me have one.

[micronation]

Huh? Oh, here. [Handing Matilda--Matilda? ...Handing her a sparkler, regardless of her name.]

[wybrows.livejournal.com]

Thanks. [ She lights hers up. ] Now hurry up so we can celebrate properly.

[micronation]

[Lighting his up finally.]

It'd be better with bigger fireworks.

[When Finland had gone to Sealand's house to ask where the boy was, the other family members directed him here. It's for that reason that Finland runs up to the small nation with a box of sparklers in one hand, the other up in the air to give a cheerful wave.]

Moi! So this is where you went! I was going to invite you to light some sparklers with me, but I think you beat me to it!

[micronation]

[He looks a bit surprised, but smiles, because hey, more sparklers.]

Hello, Mr. Väinämöinen. [That pronunciation has been mangled.]

[micronation]

You really want to light sparklers with me?

B because I obvs like going against the grain

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

Be careful with those, son. They're dangerous.

[... And then he pauses and scribbles down a few more notes in his little book who knew the idea of parenthood was just as terrifying as Batman]

no one can resist Sealand with firecrackers

[micronation]

I'll be fine, Dad!

[He grins, but it falters slightly, because something about that sentence wasn't quite right.]

[OOOH SPARKLERS -- wait sparklers. What if they're dangerous.

...But they look kind of pretty. What should he do.

Sit and watch, he guesses.]

[micronation]

[Sealand's got quite a few of them.]

Hi! Want a sparkler?

[isolationbox.livejournal.com]

I-it's safe, right?

[micronation]

They're just sparklers. [Offering one!]

[swinish-beast.livejournal.com]

[Basini stops in his tracks, getting right down on his skinned knees to watch the sparklers with curiosity.]

Neat!

[micronation]

[Peter smiles.]

Aren't they just teriffic? Do you want one?

[swinish-beast.livejournal.com]

Sure, sport!

[This boy has never looked so thrilled to be holding something flammable that wasn't filled with tobacco.]

[Hugo had followed Sealand to the park, mostly out of worry, since everyone--- everyone--- was acting really weird. Even Sealand. If anything, he just wanted to make sure he was okay, and that this is hopefully just one of his off-days.]

[micronation]

[Sealand spots him once he's distracted from his sparklers by that weird feeling.]

You're not dragging me home or anything, are you? I'm not gonna get hurt this year.

[flamesofkaraya.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not. I just wanted to accompany you. [And make sure you're okay. This day has been pretty weird for him, and he doesn't want it to get any weirder in the case that Sealand is affected by it all.]
