moemoetentacles: (All Fired Up)
[personal profile] moemoetentacles
[It's such a lovely day for fireworks and 4th of July celebrations today!  And a certain little Squid Minamimoto down on Stone Street just can't contain her excitement.  After all, she's lived in Mayfield her whole life and the Indpendence Day celebrations have always been one of her favorite things to do with her family.  Ever since she was a little girl, she was mesmerized by the flashing lights in the sky.]

[Action; 452 Stone Street]

[Squid comes running into her parents' bedroom at the crack of dawn, jumping onto the foot of their bed and bouncing up and down excitedly.]

Come on, come on, come on!  Get up, get up, get up!  It's the 4th of July!  We have to go hot dogs and watch swimming and grill fireworks and stuff!

[Yup, so excited that she can't even form coherent sentences.]

[Action; outside 452 Stone]

[After waking her parents up and eating a big healthy breakfast of bacon and eggs, Squid's running around her front yard with two handfuls of lit sparklers.  Looks like she can't even wait for the sun to start going down before she starts celebrating things.  Unfortunately, she's kind of clumsy, so if you're walking by the house, she may trip into you.  If you're really unlucky, you might get hit with a lit sparkler while she does so.  Whoops!

A little bit later on, when she's done with that, she can be found sitting on her front porch with a plate full of delicious 4th of July cuisine - not the typical 'giant pile of raw shrimp' her friends would be used to seeing her eat, but rather a cheeseburger, a hot dog covered in ketchup, a heaping helping of potato salad, and a nice cool can of Coca-Cola to wash it all down.]


[Phone; unfiltered]

Hey, does anybody want to go swimming with me?  It's just not the 4th of July without swimming!  Mr. and Mrs. Honda?  Gilgamesh?  Are you busy today?

[Action; evening; fireworks display]

[It's evening, and Mayfield's big yearly fireworks display has started.  Squid got there hours early to get the best seat, and is now just staring upward, eyes sparkling as brightly as the shapes exploding across the sky.  During particularly big, colorful, or otherwise impressive displays, she actually jumps up out of her seat and pumps her fists in the air, cheering.]


Wow!  That was awesome!

Hey, Squiddy, I didn't know you celebrated The 4th.

[Mart holds the sparklers away from his face.]

You some oddly enthusiastic.

And not afraid of me trying to eat you.

Why would I be afraid of that? That's just a game we play when you come over!

[Mart's %50 percent droned. Say hi to Drone!Mart]

Yeah!

Horsing around like that can be awfully fun.

My mom would say you're just cute enough to eat.

Yay! Can you come and get me? Mom says I'm not allowed to walk to the pool by myself.

Okay! I'll talk to your mom and let her known everything will be okay.

All right! I'll see you soon, then, okay?

Hey! Mom said it was okay, so we can go right now!

[She's already dressed in her swimsuit and carrying a towel for each of them. Hers has crabs and shrimp and stuff on it, since she's always loved the ocean.]

Here's your towel!

Oh? One for me? Thanks!

[Throwing it over his shoulder.]

From: [identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com
Um, yeah, mom wanted me to give you one too.

[Kicking at the dirt a little.]

I wonder why.

From: [identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com
Who knows. Moms are weird.

[Grabbing him by the hand.]

C'mon, let's go!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Are you gonna go see the fireworks later too?

[Unfortunately for Enkidu, having two minds battling a take over in his head has not only become stressful and horrifying for him, but adding explosions to the mix does not help at all either.

As soon as the fireworks display had begun, he had huddled himself into a ball against a building and stared wide eyed at the bright lights above with the massive explosive sounds echoing in his ears. Which really? Only made the madness in his mind even worse.

If anything, he is like a frightened animal right now. Hearing things no human should, knowing things no one normal is allowed to and most of all, confused on who he really is.]

Make... make it stop...

[Little Squid is mostly entranced by the lights, but eventually she catches sight of Enkidu out of the corner of her eye. She always liked playing over at his house, so she runs over to see what's going on.]

Mr. Shamhat! What's wrong?

I wanna go swimming with you! You're right, it's not the Fourth of July without...

Wait, is today special?

Date: 2011-07-04 10:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] moemoetentacles.livejournal.com
Of course it is! Today's the day where we get to eat lots of burgers and see fireworks and stuff!

[It clicks. Or seems to.]

Oh, right! It's the best day!
