[Francis wakes up early, with a smile on his face. Nothing like a public holiday to put a man in a good mood, right? Not to mention a beautiful wife, two charming daughters and a hard-working son even though only one is his child and-He gets to work making breakfast, feeling a little guilty as he does. He may love

It is a nice day. I hope the night is clear so we can light small fireworks or sparklers or something.

I keep feeling like I'm forgetting something though.

[theseineone]

Ah, that would be fun! I adore fireworks, they are so beautiful and exciting.

But forgetting something? Like what?

[notasidedick]

Wouldn't it? And everyone can light them with their neighbors. It would be nice to appreciate them with everyone else.

I don't know. I keep feeling like something is amiss.

[theseineone]

Well, the town is small enough that everyone should be able to see no matter who lights them.

... It seems a few people have been a little confused this morning.

[...not real- the Discworld was real-she just silly.]

France!

[theseineone]

Ah, Tiffany, hello! Enjoying the day off? [Finds it a bit strange that she called him "France" but assumes she mispronounced his name or something.]

[the_wee_big_hag]

No not at all.

France. [She's repeating his real name more for herself. Her second, third and even fourth thoughts are in full gear trying to keep her aware of everything that was real.]

Fr-

Everyone's forgetting things.

[theseineone]

It's Francis, dear, if you're going to call me by my first name then you must remember it! I know your mother taught you good manners, is that what you've forgotten? [Teasing, but does look a little concerned.]

[is_an_island]

Please, Bonnefoy. You could be more enthusiastic about today.

[theseineone]

I am perfectly enthusiastic, Kirkland, you're the one who needs to be a little more patriotic.

[is_an_island]

I don't want to hear that from your apathetic celebrations.

[theseineone]

You're letting down your country, how shameful! [He hesitates a bit after saying that, the words taste wrong in his mouth. Is it possible he feels bad for picking on Arthur? How strange.] Though I suppose you can't do anything right.

[HAHA FRANCE GUESS WHO'S AT 0% DRONING HAHA]

Uh...same as any other day here, I guess. Seriously, is this another one of America's holidays? How many fucking holidays can one guy have! Lazy bastard! No wonder he's so fat!

[theseineone]

[Laughs a little awkwardly. Man, Gilbert, you tell the weirdest jokes.] Now, now, my friend, today isn't the day for things like that. Aren't you happy?

[armywithcountry]

Let's see...my boss is gone, my brother is gone, and Armstrong, who was the closest thing to a citizen I had in this goddamn place, just got droned. Also, I'm fucking out of beer. What do you think?

[theseineone]

[Most of that sounds... Strange. Francis tries to remember if Gilbert ever had a brother, but he can't. He doesn't know anyone named Armstrong, does he?] ... Something happened to Officer Grady? Just buy more beer, don't be cheap.

[Madeline feels a bit odd--occasionally remembering being here a lot longer than the month she has been--but is at least distracted by the flags.]

Why are there so many flags everywhere?

[theseineone]

[Chuckles and picks Madeline up to give her a big hug before putting her back down again.] Because it is the Fourth of July, petite! Do you know what that means?

[thebravestone]

[Madeline considers this. But she does not really know American holidays--except that bit of her that says she does, which is really confusing.]

Um... It is a day... Where we put lots of flags up?

[But aren't they the wrong flag...]

[theseineone]

Yes, exactly! To celebrate this great nation!

[The wrong flag, Madeline, the worst flag something is not right]
