Library, [10/31]

[furnaceface]

It would be a very, very silly mistake to assume that, just because today was Halloween, Jonothon wouldn't be in the library.

Okay, granted, Jono actually liked Halloween, particularly on this side of the ocean, where being a little freakish and a little frightening was more or less encouraged. He could handle that. In fact, he did 'freakish and frightening' like a pro.

... That said, wearing the costume that he'd worn to Petey Sci-Fi last night was about as good as he was going to be able to do. He'd spent money on the damned thing, he might as well get some use out of it, even if he couldn't play his rock-and-roll horn while singing Hot Patootie.

Some of the effect was probably lost on the fact that he was way, way more scrawny than Meat Loaf.

"That does sound rather miserable," Elphaba admitted. "Though wouldn't the rain make any fireworks rather difficult to enjoy?"

Elphaba, you were getting yourself a kind of weird look, now.

//Well, he hope for a dry evening,// he noted. //I'm going to take a wild guess and say you haven't seen many fireworks, luv?//

"Not very common in Munchkinland," Elphaba admitted. "I've heard of amazing shows in the Emerald City, but never seen one."

//Never?//

Jonothon was no longer looking at you strangely, Elphaba. He was just... looking very thoughtful, instead. It was probably good to be afraid when Jono looked thoughtful like that.

//I wonder how much a decent selection of fireworks costs, around here...//

Because that was an excellent idea, right?

Elphaba smiled at that, though she also blushed a bit. "Please don't put yourself to any trouble on my account."

Re: Talk to Jono

//Well, not just yer account, then,// Jono replied, definitely bemused at that blush, there. //I happen to enjoy fireworks, and next Friday is November fifth...//

This could not possibly end well. Could it?

"I would be honored to share in your holiday," Elphaba said. "Since I think it's a little late for me to celebrate this one."

Re: Talk to Jono

//Well, so far as I understand,// though he'd been somewhat terrible at following up on and organizing rehearsals for it, //there'll be a bonfire on th'beach that night. Perhaps if I get a chance, I'll try to get my hands on some fireworks before then, and hopefully th'weather'll keep up.//

Because concerts, bonfires, and fireworks all seemed to have difficulties in the rain, for whatever reason. Go figure.

"I'll attend, then," Elphaba said. "And wish us good weather and luck when it comes to fireworks."
