Chapter 2: Firework Challenge

Narrated by Vermillion Snow.

Chi Xiaoyu: Do you realize what this is?!

Narrator: Chi Xiaoyu charges into the dorm, waving two invitations around madly. She looks like she just won the lottery.

Chi Xiaoyu: Cloudcrest is holding a New Year’s Challenge. Complete 50 challenges and you get to light the fireworks at the Fireworks Show.

Chi Xiaoyu: There aren’t many invitations! The school’s giving them to students stuck at the college over New Year’s!

Narrator: Chi Xiaoyu opens the website link on the invitation and a list of New Year’s challenges pops up.

Narrator: Excitedly, I put down the paper decoration I’m making and run over to the computer to look at the list.

Chi Xiaoyu: Well, seeing your parents aren’t here... and our dorm is a home away from home and we’re roommates... That makes us family!

Chi Xiaoyu: If we take part in the fireworks lighting ceremony, your New Year’s wish would come true! Right, Reddish?

Narrator: I was just beginning to feel the love, when Chi Xiaoyu used my real name!

Narrator: I roll up my design and start hitting her about the head with it.

Vermillion Snow: DO. NOT. CALL. ME. REDDISH!

Narrator: Eager to be part of the fireworks lighting ceremony, we waste no time getting started.

Vermillion Snow: Mission: Make a paper decoration. Done!

Narrator: I take a video of the paper decoration and upload it onto the website.

Chi Xiaoyu: Do a New Year’s drawing... Does your New Year’s outfit design count?

Narrator: Chi Xiaoyu grabs my design, takes a photo of it, and uploads it.

Vermillion Snow: Stick up some spring couplets, hang a lantern, eat a New Year rice cake... Done, done, and done!

Narrator: Five more days to go until New Year’s. Five days to finish the challenges. No doubt they will get a lot harder as we go.

Vermillion Snow: Spend at least 3 minutes wishing one of your teachers a Happy New Year.

Vermillion Snow: Ask an old lady in your neighborhood to join you for a dance in the public square... Who comes up with this stuff?

Chi Xiaoyu: All the teachers have gone home for New Year’s. Who can we wish Happy New Year to?

Vermillion: I know! How about your home tutor during high school?

Vermillion Snow: The one who gave us a lecture last semester? What was her name again... Xitong?

Chi Xiaoyu: NO WAY! I had a big quarrel with a few stans of hers on the internet the other day.

Vermillion Snow: But we don’t have any other choice. It’s decided then! Let’s go and find Jiang Xitong!

Narrator: The Cloud Empire Museum closes tomorrow for the public holiday.

Narrator: Jiang Xitong appears at the entrance. I drag Chi Xiaoyu over, though she is clearly not happy about it.

Vermillion Snow: Ms. Jiang...

Narrator: I bow deeply and start to deliver the long litany of greetings I’ve prepared.

Vermillion Snow: We, Vermillion Snow and Xiaoyu wish you a very, very Happy New Year...

Jiang Xitong: Uh...

Chi Xiaoyu: We hope everything works out for you this year and all your dreams come true...

Jiang Xitong: Wait a second...

Vermillion Snow: We hope you stay healthy and live to a ripe old age!

Jiang Xitong: ...

Vermillion Snow: Phew... That’s it! Do you mind taking a photo with us, Miss Jiang?

Narrator: Not waiting for her to reply, Chi Xiaoyu and I squeeze in beside her, take a selfie, and then run for it.

Vermillion Snow: Thanks, Ms. Jiang! Bye!

Jiang Xitong: Hey! You two! Stop!

Narrator: We haven’t got two steps when the shaken Xitong commands us to stop.

Narrator: We turn around, expecting to be grilled, only to find the usually stern-faced Xitong smiling happily at us.

Jiang Xitong: Thank you! And... Happy New Year to you, too!

Oh joy, fireworks go on sale in my county today. Which means: it's time for Gemma's Firework Reminders!

Please, please, please, if you participate in shooting off fireworks, be considerate of your neighbors and don't do it for a week straight.

Your neighbors might be veterans. Some of the fireworks you can purchase are very similar in percussion to explosives used in the field. (Also, don't shoot firearms in conjunction with fireworks! That shouldn't need to be said.)

Consider the ecological impact of fireworks on your local fauna. (Hint: it's not good - if your pet hates it and they're inside, how do the birds outside feel?) Not to mention all the trash and debris that's left over after you're done having fun.

And please for the love of everything - if you insist on spending your money on exploding particulates, practice fire safety. Have a bucket of water, extinguish everything, don't shoot them into a tree (yes I've seen it with my own eyes), and remember that these are LITERALLY small short-term fires.

I fully expect to hear of at least five injuries, one fatality, and at least one fire as a result of this holiday in my community this year. Don't let it be you.

Attend and support your community sponsored events, because those are handled by professionals and often have fail safes built into them.

Be safe and considerate, that's all I'm asking.

can't believe none of you have mentioned that in kunikida's new years mayoi side story, he asks yosano for help cleaning ranpo's desk because he 'doesn't know what he's allowed to touch' help that's so precious to me. he respects his coworkers so much i can'tfucking handle it they are just a little family

AND THEN YOSANO IS LIKE 'oh tanizaki while you're out shopping can you buy some candy and ramune. ranpo's almost out we need to top him up' why is this 26 year old manchild receiving more love from his coworkers than i ever have from my parents

Thinking about how Vox Machina feels about different seasons and types of weather;

Percy grew up in Whitestone where it's always cold, but it can always get much colder.

He definitely prefers summer, when it's warmer and it's less likely to snow - it had been snowing when the Briarwoods betrayed his family after all.

He also hates the rain, the sound of it anyway, and he much prefers a warm sunny day to a cool spring or autumn one - but his favourite day of the year is in autumn; Vex (and Vax's) birthday is in Sydenstar.

Keyleth, as a druid, is expected to love all weather and seasons, but in truth? she hates winter, she hates snow and she hates ice unless she's directly making it and shooting it at enemies.

She prefers the summer when it's warm and sunny with nary a cloud in the sky, or in early autumn where it's still warm but everything is red and brown and it rains so much.

She loves the smell of petrichor and loves dancing in the warm rain with her partner - it's just so freeing and silly and fun.

Scanlan has a bone deep hate towards summer in Tal'dorei, its too humid and too heavy in comparison to summer back home in Marquet - the heat there was dryer and less suffocating in his opinion.

He loves the winter here, though, and is fascinated with snow even after experiencing it for so many long years now.

He also loves the mistletoe tradition surrounding the very cute Tal'dorein holiday called Winter's Crest - if people call him a menace, so fucking be it.

Pike loves all of the seasons, but she hates rain and snow.

She prefers when it's warm and dry, a cool breeze on the air, and loves to go on picnics with her loved ones outdoors during the late spring to early autumn.

She grows tired in the winter, however, and can become sad all too easily throughout it.

Vex prefers the spring, when all of the flowers bloom and the baby animals tend to be born.

She loves making daisy chains with her brother, she loves cloud gazing with Trinket and she unironically loves to frollick in the wheat fields outside of Whitestone like she did in the fields outside of Byroden as a young and innocent little kid.

She hates winter, though, the month of loss and grief darkens her heart, it leaves her feeling so cold and lonely. So sad.

Grog is indifferent to basically everything weather or season related, but he loves jumping in big piles of fallen leaves and he loves drinking nutmeg and he loves watching the baby animals learn to walk and he loves their beach vacations.

He gets a bit overprotective of his loved ones in the winter, sees some of them get really sad and tired all of a sudden but doesn't understand why.

But Grog personally loves snow and enjoys Winter's Crest a good bit, so he doesn't mind shouldering the weight of his friends' seasonal depression.

Vax is an autumnal boy, with winter being a close second favourite of his, followed by spring - summer isn't even in the running, it's just too warm and sunny for the rogue's liking.

He loves participating in all of the different seasonal holidays - Harvestfest, Winter's Crest, Blessed Tenday, Lover's Day, The Artisan's Faire etc. - and he loves getting everyone gifts.

However, he too suffers from seasonal depression like Vex and Pike do - his is more just an extension of his pre-existing depression, but it still happens to him all the same in the end.

ngl i thought that zakenna was going to be an mv set some time in idol sengen s1 before the mv dropped. like, her frustrations could’ve been a reference to her post-first concert flop era, her rival mentions could’ve been referring to lxl and/or asuna, and all the underdog mentions could also have been a reference or two to how she was a complete nobody at the start of her career…

and there was also doromizu line no. 1 from the tv arc which sealed the misconcepton deal s o b s
