Scalding Sands - Zahab Market
|
Looks like the sun's setting. We should get to our seats; it won't be long until the fireworks. |
|
Oogh... Maybe there IS such a thing as eatin' too much. I'm beyond stuffed…
I just wanna take a nap. |
|
Don't pass out on us now, Grim! The main event's about to start. You wouldn't wanna miss the fireworks! |
Pyrotechnician |
Ah, if it isn't Mr. Kalim! |
|
Oh, hey, good to see you! It's been ages!
This nice man is the chief of the pyrotechnics crew that's handling the fireworks.
He's the best at this stuff. There wouldn't be a show without him! |
|
The extra-large fireworks he makes always generate a lot of buzz. |
|
You should've seen them last year! They set 'em off in time with the music!
There were some neat ones shaped like lamps and scarabs, too. It was so cool!
So, what amazing stuff do you have in store for us this time? |
Pyrotechnician |
I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise. Let's just say I've got something really spectacular up my sleeve.
After all, your family told me to go big. |
|
Aw yeah, now I'm excited! |
Pyrotechnician |
You should be! ...Hm? |
|
What's the matter? You're patting your clothes. Did you get something on them? |
Pyrotechnician |
It's... It's gone!
I can't set off the fireworks! |
|
You can't set them off? What did you lose?! |
|
A book containing your secret lighting methods? |
|
An ancient piece of flint? |
|
Some sort of special charm that gets passed down from generation to generation of pyrotechnicians? |
Pyrotechnician |
No, no! It's my USB stick! |
Pyrotechnician |
It's got the program I use for setting off the fireworks! |
|
Wait, all the fireworks are computer-operated?! |
|
Not exactly the artisanal touch I had in mind. |
Pyrotechnician |
Oh, making the fireworks still requires a high degree of professional craftsmanship...
But the Fireworks Fest gets bigger and more complicated every year, and there's zero margin for error.
So of course we use technology to do it.
I can't run the show without that USB stick! |
|
Seriously?! Oh no, this is awful! |
Tourist A |
Hey, my wallet's missing! |
Tourist B |
My bracelet's gone! I was just on my wrist a moment ago! |
|
There's quite a commotion. It seems many people are missing things. |
|
Sounds like a pickpocket's hit the market... and a good one at that.
...Hm?! |
|
[MC], watch out! |
|
HEY! That's the monkey that laughed at me! |
|
It almost swiped your smartphone. |
|
It would appear we've found our culprit. |
|
Oh no! It ran off! |
|
I won't allow our delightful vacation to be ruined.
I'll use my magic to block its path. |
|
Whoa, hold on! What are you gonna cast? You're building up a ton of power!
Remember, if your magic hurts anyone, we'll have an international crisis on our hands! |
|
Hmm... What should we do, then? |
|
That monkey's super fast. I'm not sure we can catch it... |
|
Don't worry.
I can read these petty crooks like a book.
They'll rue the day they tried to steal from us. |
