[Connor has been perched in his window for some time, carefully observing all these noisy explosions down in the city. He has no idea what's going on, but nobody seems to be panicking, so...

Eventually, he opens up his journal to dictate.]

What is the purpose of these explosions? Does anyone know? Is this normal?

It's a perfectly fine explanation.

People set off explosives on fireworks day. That's what fireworks day is for.

[eaglet]

I have been told it is specifically to celebrate America's independence from the British. Not just to cause things to explode.

[originalcopy]

Once upon a time maybe, but that's not why people celebrate it in my time.

America might be the coolest country on Earth but most people don't really care that much about ancient history.

[eaglet]

[Hmm...]

And what year is it you are from?

[originalcopy]

2554

I take it you're either from even more ancient history or from a place that doesn't have an Earth.

[or thereabout... cannon isn't great at giving exact dates.]

[eaglet]

No... I am from Earth. 1770.

Holy shit! You're really old timey aren't you. Like horse shit in the streets primitive. Damn man.

[eaglet]

[Whoops, that makes him bristle.] I am no more primitive than you are.

[Captain oblivious here. The social politics of revolutionary America are as far removed to him as the social politics of Imperial Rome are to us.]

Hey man, nothing personal... but steam engines are still a pretty big deal for you guys. And horses do shit in your streets don't they?

[[ooc: I apologize for him, he's an asshole and doesn't get it.]]

[eaglet]

[This guy............]

They are animals. What they do has no bearing on me.

[ooc. ahaha no apologies necessary!! c: i get it.]

[originalcopy]

It's sick man...

[eaglet]

They are animals. What would you have them do?

[originalcopy]

You could clean up after them... sanitation is a thing you know.

[eaglet]

There are people who do that. [HE ASSUMES... ANYWAY....... Connor has spent a total of like three hours in a city.]

[originalcopy]

Gross.

[eaglet]

[Connor just makes an irritated noise. WHATEVER, GUY...]
