third. backdated to 4/july.

[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?

They're fireworks. People always let 'em off on the fourth. People in America, anyway.

[This is a weird conversation...]

It's an American holiday, the 4th of July. It's about stuff that happened in 1776, but we generally eat a lot and have fireworks to celebrate independence from Britain every year.

I honestly have no idea why people are setting off fireworks, although they do look rather pretty. Perhaps, people are celebrating after the dinosaurs have gone now? [He couldn't think of anything else.]

Just as everyone's been saying, the fireworks are part of a celebration. People also use fireworks during New Year's Eve, as a celebration of the new year and saying goodbye to the old.

Oh no, a Brit

I'm surprised it's celebrated in this world. There must be a lot of Americans in here.
