No, no, sore wa chigawrong. "Romans" as in Romans. [how does one translate this joke when you're typing purely in English? Somewhere a linguist is screaming in pain and terror]

Aha!

[a gust of wind is the only warning Hanako gets before Sonic is suddenly yanking a cloth off of... a cannon? He grins and pats it a couple of times]

This should work! Wonder what play was going to use this bad boy as a prop~

[he looks at Hanako... Then looks at the cannon... Then at the star... He's... He's not thinking about sending one of them directly at the thing, right?]

Exactly! Yeah, that's a good idea, don't you think? Give it a taste of it's own medicine by using it's strengths against it. [grins] I'll even give you the first shot. I think you deserve it!

[with a quick 'whoosh' and a bright display of distorted blue and pink light, Sonic sweeps up one of the nearby cannonballs to load into the cannon in question. Then he points at the fuse at the back for Hanako. Does he know about the chandelier? Is he letting Hanako take the first shot to sus out how dangerous this thing is? Or is he letting Hanako take the shot because Junna's the other boy's (former?) mentee and it only seems fair?

Who knows! Sonic for sure isn't going to say anything about it!]
