smash_logs | Annual Fireworks Log

Who: All of you
What: Fireworks!
When: The night of July 2nd
Where: Campus, but they're visible from the surrounding area too.
Warnings: Small cameos and standard Smash shenanigans.

There was a trespasser on the school grounds. A trespasser toting a large bag full of explosives that looked potentially dangerous. Oh no, he was setting them up! Such complex rigging! What dastardly plan did he have in mind?! The first deadly missile launched into the air, and...

Oh, wait, it was just fireworks. False alarm.

Well, it was obvious by the colourful display that this mysterious trespasser had spent far too much time planning this. What was he trying to do, create a distraction so he could go on a one-man panty raid? Tempting, but not this year.

In fact, now that the fireworks could finish on their own, mystery man vanished into the night. If one looked into the right area of the sky at the right time, they might find the silhouette of some weird spacecraft-looking thing against the bright lights. Could there be a connection?

Who even cares. FIREWORKS.

Phoenix offered a sad smile in return. "I thought I had seen the worst of it after that Interstellar Amusement Park."

And... that had also been Eggman's doing. Phoenix sighed, remembering this. Why did he happen to take the one job in the school that belonged to the craziest lunatic around? He didn't know how many lives Eggman had taken, but he shuddered thinking about it. It's a shame a criminal like him couldn't be locked up. There was no solid evidence. At least, nothing that would fly in a court of law.

He had heard that there had been some other strange occurrences before his arrival, but he thought people had been joking. Apparently not.

"Ah... I think I heard something about that."

Hadn't that been around the time she left to go back to Kanto? How long ago that was, even without the strange time paradox that brought her back to a time a few months earlier than it should have been. Just thinking about that made her yearn to see her family again. Soon...

"That man alone is more trouble than he's worth. A pity our resident mass murderer couldn't have dealt with him while he was at large."

BLACKY THAT IS A HORRIBLE THING TO J... oh... she wasn't joking. Okay. Carry on, then.

Phoenix was not sure how to react to that. He gave a very nervous laugh, unsure of what to think of it. He didn't wish death upon Eggman, but if he had been proven to be responsible for the murder of others, then... Well, then he would get the death penalty in Los Angeles. And that's what Caim deserved too, or so Phoenix thought right now.

"I uh... ahahaha... I mean, well, maybe he doesn't deserve to die but... He should at least be locked up, far away from everyone."

"I suppose." She crossed her arms, looking back up in time to see a particularly red explosion light up the sky. Fitting when murder and death were the subjects at hand.

"Even locking someone up seems to be too much to ask of the justice system here. Ah, but I suppose there's nothing to be done."

Phoenix saw the bright red explosions light up the sky as well, though he didn't think of murder. They were too bright to resemble blood, but still.

He and Blacky seemed to not agree on how to handle criminals, but... everyone came from different places, so he had come to learn. By her brilliantly-colored hair, Phoenix assumed Blacky was from a place he knew nothing about, like the Pokemon land or something.

"Well, it's... good to keep the criminals away from more people they could wrong."

Blacky was just ~~colourblind as shit even without being a dog anymore~~ morbid.

"Ah, I know, just... For some reason authorities thought it would be wise to put a murderer right back into the school surrounded by children, and Robotnik continues to... be... Robotnik..."

COUGH.

"Never mind. At least nobody's died recently." In a way that they didn't recover from after that time travel nonsense, at least.

When Blacky said what she said about Caim, he turned his head to look at her, wide-eyed. Good, he wasn't the only one who thought that way.

"Yes! Exactly!" he exclaimed, "I think he should be locked away until a trial... Where I come from, a crime like that would earn him jail time with no bail, until his trial. And if he was guilty..."

He didn't finish that sentence. He didn't want to mention the death penalty and start a debate over it, since it was quite a controversial subject. Even he wasn't sure if he agreed fully with it, but that's just the way it was.

"A shame this place seems to function on entirely different rules from the rest of the world. I suppose it just adds even more to the mystery of just where it is anyway."

Actually, that made for some good intrigue and mystery. What if something sinister was actually afoot?

Phoenix nodded. Everything about this place was so upside down, so unlike everything he knew at home. Space Amusement Parks were possible, time travel happened, animal-like creatures could turn into humans and talk... He couldn't list everything that was so different, but those were some that stuck out in his mind.

"Yeah. I admittedly don't exactly know how I got here. But... I was able to go home for Christmas and such."

It puzzles him greatly. He really doesn't know where he is, but he can easily go home. Was this something new he had to investigate?
