seven of diamonds
[There were some loves that all teenage boys had in common, regardless of the world or time they came from.
Explosions would be one of them.
Mat had never heard of America. Nor did he have any idea what was special about the 4th of July. But after hearing someone mention fireworks in the journals, he'd decided he liked this holiday already.... which was why he could be found on the roof in the early evening, stringing together the leads from a large collection of fireworks he'd wished up from the castle. Catherine wheels, sparklers, roman candles, shells... they're all there.
The book he'd found in the library gave a little bit of information on them... but not enough for him to really know what to expect... which is why he's bound all of the fuses into one, very long lead that puts him on the other side of the roof. Because everyone knows that, if setting one firework off at a time is cool, setting a whole bunch at once is going to be bloody brilliant!]
Here goes nothing!
[lighting the fuse, he's going to just hold his breath as he watches the fire race towards the waiting explosives]
[ooc: The fireworks will mostly explode harmlessly in the sky... but he's an idiot who doesn't know what he's doing, so feel free to have some close calls, or just enjoy the show. Mod approved]
