nine breaks of the stone

[craggyfaced]

[Yet another time to awkwardly address the journal. He's not even sure what made him do this, except the basic need to have something to do, so...]

If I understand correctly, tomorrow is a day of celebration for the people who come from the land of Yewessay [Yes, he says it like that, because what are acronyms?]

Since it is apparent that small explosive devices are a common part of the festival, I have put together a small supply of them. If you wish to have some, you may come obtain them here at my shop in town [and he'll scribble directions to his alchemy lab here].

Don't let me hear about anything malicious being done with them.

...assuming they work correctly.

[And he'll go back to worriedly checking his supply over]

((ooc:Durge has put together some firecrackers and sparklers and things. Open over the journal or in person in town to pick up your free fireworks! Mod approved, btw.))

What kind of name is Yewessay?

dictated

[doublethefun]

[hmmm]

Art thou speaking of fireworks?

dictated

[craggyfaced]

I believe so, my lady, though these are not quite as powerful. [He doesn't quite trust himself to get that right or people in the castle to not abuse them]

Travis told me it meant...the United States of America? Either way I agree it is a strange name.

[heloise]

Is it a celebration of war?

[craggyfaced]

It seems it the celebration of their sovereignty and the cessation of a war.

[heloise]

Are the explosives meant to reenact their victory then?

[craggyfaced]

Perhaps. It is a peculiar Dominion in many ways.

[doublethefun]

Yet, I am certain that they will be quite beautiful.

I was unaware that thou studied the craft.

U-S-A. [ She sounds it out slowly. ] United States of America.

[Embarrassed cough] My apologies.

Yewessay~ [Del giggles and hums and turns that word around in her mouth as she tries to think what it reminds her of.]

Are they made of wood?

[sometimesbeth]

It's still kind of weird to think about America not being in other worlds...

[not_mafia]

Yewessay? [Yewessay, yewessay... u... sa--]

Oh, you mean America!

[heloise]

How so, Sir Durge?

[jammin_with_ed]

Boom, boom! Edward wants to play!

[craggyfaced]

No. Paper and gunpower, mostly.

[This one is too logical for you, Del]

[craggyfaced]

Yes. I am sorry. I still pronounce it incorrectly...

action or journal?

[craggyfaced]

I thought perhaps you would like these. I saw children playing with them back on Earth once. [He thought it was black magic at first though.]

[not_mafia]

Ahh, it's not a problem!

A-are you not from Earth, then?

[craggyfaced]

I dabbled in alchemy at home. You could call this an extension of that.

[craggyfaced]

No. My world is Eldh.

[craggyfaced]

It was not always in yours either. Kingdoms come and go.

[craggyfaced]

It is hard to say. They do not have lords, for one, so it's hard to tell who holds authority.

dictated;

[sometimesbeth]

We're not a kingdom, though. We're a federal constitutional republic.

[ She pauses. ]

Are you from the medieval times, then?
