Rating: We'll see...

[During the fireworks, Raven is very likely to run into a certain pretty lady with a cozy coat (thank you, Ginia!) over top a fancy dress. She isn't quite sure what's being celebrated right now, but there's a party, fireworks, and friends, and so that's good enough for her!

She sounds even more chipper than usual as she calls out:] Hello, Raven! Aren't the fireworks so pretty?

[crisisrain]

[She caught him by surprise for a moment, before he quickly realized who was addressing him.]

Oh, Grune! Yeah, they're nice... kinda noisy but heh, that's how they work.

[lostinmyway]

I think the noise is part of the fun! Don't you?

[crisisrain]

I 'spose if I had enough ta drink I could sleep through the noise...

[lostinmyway]

Oh, don't you like it?

[crisisrain]

Not quite what I mean. I like fireworks, it's just too cold out here right now fer me ta be enjoyin' them.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, are you cold? Here you go.

[And she starts undoing her coat. *sax music*]

[crisisrain]

N-no! Ya don't have to do that! I'm fine, really! [He pulls up coat closer together, burying his face in his scarf.]

See! Perfectly warm and snug!

[lostinmyway]

[She pauses.]

Are you sure?

[crisisrain]

I'm one-hundred percent sure! Can't have a lady strippin' out here like that. Keep yer clothes on, hun.

[Words a man never wants to say.]

[lostinmyway]

Well, all right.

[And back on goes the coat. Such a gentleman, Raven.]

Maybe we should go get hot chocolate together.

[crisisrain]

Why would ya wanna drink hot chocolate with an old man like me? Shouldn't you be here with yer boyfriend?

[lostinmyway]

My boyfriend?

[crisisrain]

[He gives her a blank look before responding.]

You do have one, don't ya?

[lostinmyway]

No, I don't.

[Even if there's someone she'd like to be her special someone.]

[crisisrain]

That's strange, I was always under the impression that you'd been paired off ages ago. You sure there isn't someone?

[lostinmyway]

[She nods slowly.] I'm sure.

[crisisrain]

Aww, come on, you can tell old Raven! If ya do I might share you a little about the person who meant a lot ta me.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, is there somebody you wish was your special someone, too?

[crisisrain]

She was sent back home, so I guess it doesn't matter at this point.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but I'm sure she'll come back soon. You just need to wait a little while, that's all.

[crisisrain]

This is one of those times where it'd be better if she didn't.

[lostinmyway]

Why would it be better?

[If she's his special someone, why wouldn't he want to be see her?]

[crisisrain]

That's... That's where it gets kinda complicated. Let's just go with the standard "they're better of in there own world instead of this place" theory.

[lostinmyway]

Are you sure?
