01/03/13 Off With A Bang I am in my Fire Valkyrie heading for the moon. I wander on the moon only briefly before I decide to go somewhere I am needed. I open a portal and go through from the moon to a fancy costume party of some kind. People are dancing all around, everyone is wearing a mask. I am thinking I should make an effort to fit in. I see everyone has a gaudy gold mask on… and that is when I realize where I am. I am in Assassin's Creed II. I look around wondering what my purpose there might be. I spot some of the courtesans and I remember Ezio moving among them to keep from being noticed. So I move over closer to a group of courtesans. There are several guards staring right at Ezio… but not seeing him… they're only seeing the courtesans' breasts about to fall from their dresses. I know where their minds are… I get over closer to Ezio. I hear him talking to the courtesans. The conversation pauses as he looks over at me but then they continue. They are trying to come up with a distraction to get the guards away from his target. A courtesan says they must all be homosexual… they don't even look at courtesans. Another says they are specially chosen and won't abandon their posts for anything less than something blowing up. I am right next to them now, I surprise them when I ask if some fireworks would do the trick. A courtesan says they have to disappear… they've been spotted. Ezio tells her it's ok, but what about the fireworks. One of them says the fireworks won't go off until after the target has left. I tell them that tonight the fireworks will start early then. I wonder how I can create some fireworks. This is a dream… it should be doable. I ask where the fireworks come from and a courtesan points. I head over there and find there is a man standing near what looks like a row of fireworks ready to go. He tells me I shouldn't be there. I decide to flirt with the guy instead of starting trouble… He isn't very attractive, my dream self is attractive… so I figure it would work well. I tell him I wanted to see how the magic happens, then we can watch the fireworks together. He pushes his luck and says he knows a private place we could go afterwards. I swallow my vomit and act like I like the idea. So I get closer to the fireworks. I hear the man who is Ezio's target talking, it sounds like quite a stream of bullshit. Apparently politicians have always been the same. So now it needs to go off. I ask when he sets them off. He says after the speech is done. I look closer at the fuses, and focus a little pyrokinesis to light them each. The fuses are all lit so I step away quickly. The man notices that the fuses are lit and asks what I have done, it's too soon! He says they were supposed to go off AFTER the speech! I tell him he said during the speech… he is frustrated… but it is too late now. The fireworks all go off at once, shooting up into the sky and exploding with quite a commotion. I look back out at the guy giving the speech, he is now staring up at the fireworks looking quite annoyed. The man who was supposed to set off the fireworks seems more worried about himself, says they're going to kill him for this… no… they'll have to find him first… he disappears into the crowd, who are all looking up at the fireworks now. I don't notice when it happens, but when I look back over at the guy giving the speech, and he is on the ground, apparently dead. None of his guards have even noticed yet. I find their obliviousness amusing then I wake up.
