Hey, so I realized something sort of important. Well, besides the whole fuel issue for McCrane, Deckerd and me, plus the fact the humans probably are sorely missing what it's like to have a bath and I myself am regretting the lack of polish--

But, no, besides all that. I checked the date and I realized: OH NO! I am in dire need of fireworks.

So give me a ring if you happen to spot any. This is terribly important! It's for fancy Earth reasons, I swear.

[That's heck of a small voice. Although Gunmax is usually boisterous, he pauses and lowers his tone somewhat.]

Anyone who isn't looking for a fight is welcome. You wanna come watch with the rest of us?

[Audio]

[The soft voice gets a little stronger after receiving such a calm response, but she still remains quiet.]

I-I don't want to cause any trouble...! I-it's just...w-well I've never seen fireworks before.

[Audio]

[engrishdetective]

Heh, no trouble at all. If you've never seen fireworks, we should change that.

You're invited -- after you tell me your name. Is that a deal?

[Audio]

[clay_doll]

[It may not be visible, but that just coaxed a small smile out of the meek girl.]

Okay!

My name is Annie.

[Audio]

[engrishdetective]

Annie, my name is Gunmax. And you are officially invited to the fireworks show, okay?

Do you need me to come pick you up?

[Audio]

[clay_doll]

[That name is one she recognizes from his previous broadcast, and if she recalls correctly, he had been looking for a human boy.]

T-thank you very much, Gunmax..!

I-I can walk if you can tell me where I should go to watch.

[Just being allowed to join in is enough for Annie, and she certainly doesn't want to give him more to worry about when the supplies are not yet gathered.]

[Audio]

[engrishdetective]

Hmm, sure. It's a little clearing outside the temples. If you're staying at any of the temples, you should probably be able to see me and the others pretty easily.

Let me know if you need help, Annie.

[Audio]

[clay_doll]

Okay. I will.

[Hesitating only for a moment, she then speaks again with some uncertainty.]

I-I don't know what is needed for fireworks...but m-maybe if you can tell me the parts for them, then I could help look. I've already been searching for different things.

[Audio]

[engrishdetective]

Huh? Oh, hey. You don't need to do that. Honestly, a kid like you shouldn't be out in the junkpiles; that's dangerous.
