[It's a Firo! Looking positively blown away with delight at something. He's dressed up in a dark suit and overcoat with a brand new black hat, which he is currently hanging onto, and his hair is sticking up in about ten different directions.]

They finished it! And it's--damn, it's keen. Can see forever from up there! The whole city's gone wild. It's... It's... something!

[Amused] You look happy about something.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Of course I am! They finished it! [Weee, dizzy with happiness. Doesn't really register that Dino probably doesn't know what he's talking about.]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

[Dino is still amused by all this. He likes it when people are happy.] Who finished what?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

The Empire State Building! Tallest in the world! [:D FLAIL]

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

They would have been building it during your time, wouldn't they? I visited it once when I was younger. [Decides not to mention it won't remain the tallest build in the world. He doesn't want to ruin Firo's good mood.]

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Started it just over a year ago! Isn't it ace?

[buckingbronco.livejournal.com]

I remember the view was really nice.

A year...that was really fast for it's time, wasn't it?

[Hei looks rather epically frazzled, but he manages a bit of a smile.]

Finished what?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Someone is too elated to notice at the moment.] Whatta you mean what--I mean I suppose you wouldn't know, would you, but it's done! The Empire State Building!

[contract_star]

[Bit more of a smile this time.]

Tallest building in the world then, right?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Yup! It's--then?

[contract_star]

[Shrugs.] It might still be the tallest. I don't really know.

[Vision is swimming but he's not going to let on.]

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Well, it is now, and they finished it in a year! Well, a year and a month, or a month and a half, I think, but it's done, and the whole city is having a clam-bake! It's dizzy!

Something new in your city, Firo?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

[Grabs her in a hug and swings her around.] You know that big building I showed you? The Empire State Building? Well it's done! Finished! I got to go up in it today!

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

[ Weeee getting swung around. Angela giggles and gives Firo a squeeze. ] Really? Did you get to go to the top of it?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Almost! Woulda climbed that thing straight to the top if I could! There were so many people, and what you could see from up there--! It was like flying!

[witchmaker.livejournal.com]

I hope I can see it some day. [ She's feeling a little guilty that she never was able to make good on her promise to take him on a Flammie ride. ] It looked like it was even taller than Rolante's castle.

[He's so out there with delight right now that he gives her a peck of a kiss on the forehead and doesn't think twice about it.] Maybe you can! Just gotta figure out what worked last time and make it happen again, right?

[mustbesymmetric.livejournal.com]

Finished what? Some sort of tower?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Some sort of tower? The tower, the Empire State Building!

[mustbesymmetric.livejournal.com]

That's been around for decades.

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

Nope! Just finished it. Cut the ribbon today!

[mustbesymmetric.livejournal.com]

... Different years, I guess. When are you from?

[immortalmistake.livejournal.com]

1931. May first! President Hoover lit it up from Washington.
