[GP] Evening - Blinding you with science (and fireworks)

It had taken a good three weeks for Sora and Peter to gather enough materials and also enough nerve to put on the fireworks that Peter had felt were missing from New Year's. They'd filched, over time, a pile of steel wool pads and an embarrassing number of whisks. Why they needed those things, Sora didn't exactly know.

Once everything was gathered up, Sora and Peter met outside, a safe (probably!) distance from the Inn. Peter showed Sora how to stretch out a pad of steel wool and jam it inside a whisk, then he attached long ropes of webbing to the ends of the whisks and fastened them to the ground. While he did that, he cheerfully explained how the webbing worked and how he was sure it would stick to the ground right and everything would be fine. There was a lot of math and other things Sora did not understand at all, but he was absolutely confident that Peter was right.

Once everything was fastened properly, Peter gave the nod.

Sora called out the Keyblade, stood in the middle of the webby circle of stuffed whisks, and cast Aeroga. Swirling winds came out of nowhere to lift up the whisks and spin them in the air, held in control only by the webbing ropes. Next came Thunder - bolts of lightning to ignite the wool in the whisks as they spun. (Peter had been sure that Fire wouldn't work, it had to be Thunder. And he was so right!)

Then the boys settled, more or less, to watch their homemade fireworks spinning and throwing sparks.

Aeroga had to be recast every few minutes to keep everything up and spinning, so Sora mostly stood with the Keyblade in one hand while eating an apple with the other. Between Peter and trial and error he'd worked out the perfect place to stand to catch all the fireworks with one spell.

It'd be interesting, probably, when he was out of apple.

After being assured this was safe, sort of, for the kids involved, Bo took to a good vantage point and sat down on the ground to watch. She realized it had been a while since she had seen fireworks and even though these weren't the exploding in the air suddenly kind, it was pretty in the night sky. Almost made things feel like home. Almost.

While Mary found herself drawn out by the fireworks, she found her attention was much more on the children who were out enjoying it or leading it. There weren't that many children at the Inn, but it was nice to see them be themselves, even if they were more unconventional than the children back home. She stood at a distance, arms crossed over her stomach and took in the scenery. Her mind occasionally wandered to if she, Sam, and Dean would have ever had something like this back home if things were different. When he mind thought of such things, her smile would wane a bit until she pushed the thought away for a while.

Alec had been trying to sleep when the sound went off like thunder and his eyes opened more from experience than anything else. That wasn't a normal sound of the Inn, from what he experienced with his stay so far.

He got dressed and made his way outside where he saw some kids and some sort of explosive in the sky. No one seemed worried about it, but Alec didn't have the word for what was happening in the sky before him and it ticked him off a little.

Peter is wearing his Spider-Man suit, his smile hidden beneath his Spider-Man suit. If it weren't for the mask, it'd be hard for him to hide the feeling of satisfaction he's feeling at being able to combine science and magic to make something really amazing.

"Hey, Karen?" he asks his suit's AI.

"Yes, Peter?" Karen's soothing voice rings out inside of Peter's suit.

"You think that this made people happy?" he gestures out to the spinning, impromptu fireworks show.

"I don't see why not. I think it's quite beautiful."

"Thanks, Karen."

It's at that moment, that Peter catches sight of someone looking at him. Not that that was surprising; he hadn't been out publicly in the spidey suit at all since he arrived here.

"Hey," he says, waving a hand at them. "Wanna join me?"

Seeing people leave the restaurant for something outside, Liz decided to follow once she made sure whoever was still eating was okay that she slipped out for a second. When she was outside, her eyes widened and an immediate smile spread across her face. It was very pretty. It reminded her of the parties Roswell would hold where people dressed up as aliens.

Piotr couldn't count the number of times something like this had happened at the Institute. Kids testing their intelligence and powers could do wondrous things. This particular display was impressive, if slightly dangerous. Out of reflex, he made his way close enough to the sparks to rush in if anything happened.

In fact, just to save time, he decided to shift early...just in case.

The roof was the closest she could get to the sky.

It was something Curnen had realized between Christmas and now, and she kind of hated it. It didn't change her habit for climbing up there--or anywhere else she could climb--but it did mean that once she got up here, tonight the fireworks show the kids had put on was a nice distraction from her thoughts. It made her smile. She sat at the edge of the roof of the nearest building, her bare feet dangling in the breeze.

She wasn't sure what song would come when she opened her mouth to let out the feeling--something fun and silly and dangerous.

It came out as "MacPherson's Rant."

Sae rantin'ly an' sae dauntin'ly
Sae wantonly gaed he
He played a tune and danced it 'roon
Below the gallows tree
