[fireworks for new year's are a thing that's happening. now grell, being sensible but not too much, is setting off his pointed away from other people, away from most flammable things. sparklers are fantastic, you know, and that's why he's got two spitting gold sparks all over the place. please, express that you're having as much fun.]
[Travis, on the other hand, is significantly less subtle about the prospect of fireworks. (Not that she could ever be anything ever resembling subtle in this or any other lifetime, but. beside the point.)
She has about three sparklers to each hand-- and instead of pointing them away from flammable things and flammable people like a reasonable human being? She is waving them. And laughing like an idiot.
This is Travis Touchdown we're talking about, after all.]
Grell! [bounding over, shooting red and green and gold in all directions--] Hey! You think we can buy the one that shoots straight up into the air too?!

What kind of man do you take me for to assume I did not purchase it?
[He looks in the box they had gotten and finds the package Travis had mentioned, transferring the sparklers to one hand and holding up the package with the other.]
It's New Year.

It's New Year.
Dude.
Has anyone ever told you that you're the absolute fucking best.
[Her face is completely lit up with terrifying glee.]
Let's do it!

[OKAY just let him pass over his sparklers to her-how much more damage can more sparklers do, really-and then work on setting this up. Place upright, etc. etc., don't point it at people, aaaaand-]
When those burn down, would you like to do the honours?

Hell yeah! [she has so many sparklers grell W H Y]
[She bends down, still armed with two handfuls of sparklers, to inspect the big firework.] Pff. Is this one seriously called "The Red Rocket"?
[unfortunately
sparklers give off... sparks... and without intention she's just ignited aforementioned large firework.
she still hasn't noticed.
help.]

You expected me to pass up a name like that?
[Red. It should be a glorious thing, once they have it lit-
why is it lit now he wasn't done stabilising it]
-Shit!

-Shit!
What--
[And FINALLY, she gets a glance at what she's just done. And it's pointed at her.
Oh shit.]
Fuck! [The firework ignites, and it is glorious, whistling and sparking bright lights in all directions; Travis, for her part, is thankfully quick enough to leap out of the way just in time to avoid becoming yet another New Year's Eve horror story.
Except for a spark that's strayed close enough to ignite the hem of her shirt.]

[Grell has just decided to duck the hell out of the way and gets up with grass in his hair, eyes wide at the absolute chaos that's going on.
this is beauty. this is truth. this is fucking insane and it's perfect for it.]
...God bless pyrotechnics.

...God bless pyrotechnics.
[she's laughing, half out of actual amusement and half out of exasperated relief that she's NOT COMPLETELY BARBECUED RIGHT NOW-- which is of course the moment she notices she's on fire.]
Grell, I'm on fire!!
[god bless pyrotechnics indeed.]
Grell, I'm on fire!!

[This space is strange.
A box? A white box full of voices- But he's pretty sure he's not in his head. They're all unfamiliar. How strange. Still, he fiddles with the cuff of his red sleeve. There's work to be done, and this isn't the Kairinmaru.
And so he waits patiently for one of the voices to let him know where he is, exactly.]

But just "Angel" is fine. Yours?

[Travis looks him up and down, puzzled. Fourth wall crap is not beyond her, but... this is.]
Tatsuko?
Uh. Where're your tits?
Tatsuko?
Uh. Where're your tits?
Tatsuma. And that's my first name. As for ****, I don't have any. Wasn't blessed with those. They're charming little- Or big- things, whichever kind, they're still charming!
[He turns around swiftly, smiling at the girl. Cool, be cool! Not that it ever works.]
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't know you! But I see you're a fan of a similar kind of eyewear, sweetheart. Ahaha! I don't believe we've met, but you seem familiar. I don't believe I can place you... But then again, I'd remember a pretty face like yours!

Uh, no. Tatsuko. We're in Haven together, and you puked on my sheets for three straight weeks. Right?
[STARING.]
I'm Travis! Travis Touchdown? And what the hell is this 'sweetheart' crap? You know me. Or, uh, you're supposed to, anyway.

I'm sorry, I don't know anyone by that name.
[Edward Endzone? Was that who this girl was talking about? Hmph.]
Ah, do I? I'm so sorry! And I also apologize for calling you that- Some girls aren't fond of things like that! Sorry, sorry, Touchdown-san! You were cute, so I called you something cute. That's all. If you'd prefer I didn't, let me know! I aim to please.
