If I Rebooted Tin Man

Chapter 9: MC: Fireworks

Stopping to resupply at one of the few stable towns left in the OZ, the quartet are just in time to see a fireworks show.

DG is loving this with every fiber of her being. The times she's seen fireworks before have nothing on the way the OZ does them.

Raw is terrified at first because he's not entirely sure what's happening and he's, well, a cowardly lion. But he calms down soon enough, mostly due to the others' joy and awe.

Glitch doesn't process noise or light as well as he used to be able to and is getting a headache. But he's used to headaches and something deep within him keeps chanting EXPLOSIONS! COLORFUL EXPLOSIONS! IN THE SKY! — which he's adding to the growing pile of evidence that maybe he was a bit of a mad inventor, whoever he was — so he's fine.

Cain doesn't feel the same pure, childish glee at the sight as the others do. But he still enjoys it in his own quiet way.
