[With a blackened face and smoldering hair, Moss looks very much like he's found himself on the wrong side of a firework. Given the date, this is, of course, exactly what's happened.]

Once again it would seem my attempt to recreate Gandalf's dragon firework has gone slightly wrong. Although had I not unintentionally set it off so early on, I

I don't recall the books giving much in the way of detail about how his firework worked. Don't tell me you're seriously trying to recreate that with regular firework materials.

[mothinabath]

Only every year for the past seven years. You could say it's become something of a Bonfire Night tradition for me.

[windsorknot]

And you've somehow managed to avoid third degree burns the entire seven years?

[mothinabath]

Of course. I even managed to avoid second degree burns this year.

[barnabasdog]

Following in Wile E. Coyote's footsteps, huh?

[mothinabath]

Not really, no. To begin with, I'm not actually chasing anything.

[madforcraic]

Again, and not that I don't think it would be painfully cool if you made it work, because it would be really, really cool...but don't you think that maybe you have to literally be a wizard in order to make that firework work properly?

[mothinabath]

I can't just suddenly become a wizard, Roy.

[horrible_penny]

Ignore me if this is a stupid question, but are you okay, Moss?

[mothinabath]

Ignoring you would be rude, Penny. But, yes, I'm perfectly fine.

[horrible_penny]

Not if I give you permission to ignore me.

Good. And remember that damage to you is more important than property damage, okay?

[mothinabath]

Did you want me to ignore you?

I'll keep that in mind. Although on the whole I'd have to say I find people generally worry more about damage done to their property, than they do damage done to me.

I think slightly wrong started at the first step of thinking you can recreate something that was done by CGI in the first place.

[mothinabath]

Well, actually it was done by writing in the first place. But technicalities aside, I don't think that's where I went wrong. I'm sure it must somehow be possible to create one in real life.
