The Firework Search/Travel Log
It was May 31, 2024. Simoneganaball just got banned from the Pacific and is planning to travel across featured regions. Just then, they received a call from Pilosinaball and long story short, the two got into a big fight about Sygane and Silona. Since then, Pilosina and Simonegana’s relationship went downhill.
On June 5, 2024, Simonegana was seeking to repair their relations with Pilosina when Simonegana’s best friend, Izibaball, called Simonegana.
“Simonegana, I have an idea to repair your relationship with Pilosina,” Iziba said, “While your relationship will repair naturally, I recommend speeding up the process and becoming more popular among everyone else by finding our million boxes of lost fireworks. Recent research shows that it is in a future featured region.”
(For context, after Feature traveler simonia CTE’d, one million of the boxes of fireworks Pilosina bought for one cent mysteriously disappeared.)
“That’s a great idea!” Simonegana agreed, “I’m already traveling across featured regions, so this will be a piece of cake!”

Simonegana boarded a military grade geo-lifting helicopter towards where many other feature hoppers were. They were scared. Some feature hoppers have failed to return home alive. Luckily, Nassau is fairly small compared to many other regions out there and there weren’t many obstructions, so searching for one million boxes of fireworks was easy. Unfortunately, after a quick search, Simonegana noticed that there were no fireworks. Now all they have to do is to wait for tomorrow’s featured region.

It was June 7. Simonegana was boarding a military grade geo-lifting helicopter to Third Cynglish Empire when they realized that, according to the WFE, there will be nothing there. They went there anyway and to nobody’s surprise, the only interesting things there were the other feature hoppers. No fireworks.
page=rmb/postid=56016627
On June 8, it turned out Third Cynglish Empire isn’t nothing. Either way, Simonegana boarded a military grade geo-lifting helicopter to the next featured region, Your Moms House. It was, as its name suggests, a house that shelters a mom (not Simonegana’s mom; Simonegana doesn’t have a mom). Simonegana knocked on the door.
“Are there any fireworks inside this house?” Simonegana asked. After receiving no response, Simonegana looked through a window. There was a holographic indoor fireworks show and no boxes of fireworks anywhere.

June 9. New featured region. New military grade geo-lifting helicopter ride. New…
“Simonegana, wait,” a passerby called, “I recommend reading We the peoples militia’s World Factbook Entry before going there.”
Simonegana read the WFE. This seemed questionable, but it is unclear what exact beliefs this region has. Therefore, Simonegana boarded the military grade geo-lifting helicopter to the featured region.
In the featured region, there weren’t much to do. Luckily, there was a sizable community of locals…for once. Unfortunately, no boxes of fireworks.

It’s June 10th. New featured region, new military grade geo-lifting helicopter ride, new region without fireworks as usual…right? Simonegana has a feeling about Herpetology not being like any of the other ones they had been to. It is understandable that most regions are unique, but this one felt…more unique. The military grade geo-lifting helicopter Simonegana rode on went across space as usual, but with a peculiar horde of star-shaped spaceships. One of the spaceships had a sign saying “Exploratory Spaceships”.
In Herpetology, there was a forest with many amphibians and reptiles. Some were being studied. Others roamed around freely. Turns out most people have no idea what this region is about as its World Factbook entry doesn’t say much about the region.
Suddenly, the sound of fireworks filled the air. Simonegana got closer to the source of the sound. There was a large pile of firework boxes at the scene.
“Where are these fireworks from?” an explorer asked, “Pilosinaball offered whoever finds their one million boxes of lost fireworks 10000 NationStates dollars.”
“I bought them online for one cent,” the firework launcher explained while showing the explorer his receipt, “I got 10000 boxes.”
Simonegana gasped.
“What’s wrong?” the explorer asked, “Are you looking for the fireworks too?”
“Yes,” Simonegana replied, “And it looks like I now have competition.”

”This region is so cool!” a voice behind Simonegana said, “A moon-themed anime metropolis? I’ve never seen anything like this before!”
Simonegana and ten star-shaped exploratory spaceships went to Eientei Gensokyo on June 11, 2024, the day it was featured. One of the spaceships has an explorer as a crew member who decided to search for Pilosina’s long-lost million boxes of fireworks for $10000. Unfortunately, Simonegana is also searching for the fireworks, but for a different purpose.
“Who are you?” Simonegana asked.
“I’m Farrah Delgado, crew member of the ES Matilda,” the explorer replied, “‘ES’ stands for ‘Exploratory Spaceship’.”
“Nice to meet you,” Simonegana said, “I’m Simonegana, a feature traveling countryball and your competitor.”
“Would you like to work together?” Farrah asked, “We could share the price money and…stop malicious forces from getting the fireworks.”
“Malicious forces?” Simonegana asked.
“Some people out there want the fireworks to destroy cities,” Farrah explained.
“No fireworks here, Farrah!” another voice yelled, “We searched the whole region!”
page=rmb/postid=56059018
Simonegana was excited to see the new featured region—
“Farrah, no fireworks,” A voice said, “Let’s go somewhere else.”

It’s Thursday, June 13. Luckily, it’s not a Friday. Simonegana boarded a military grade geo-lifting helicopter to the featured region, Bamako. Of course, ten star-shaped spaceships also tagged along.
Bamako, like Nassau, wasn’t very big. Though…why is there a firework box here?
“Simonegana, wanna work together?” explorer from the ship ES Matilda Farrah Delgado asked.
“Sure. I don’t need the price money too much anyway,” Simonegana agreed.

A sports region. Interesting. Simonegana has never been a big sports fan, but the featured region of June 14, 2024 is Esportiva and one million boxes of fireworks are in a future featured region.
Esportiva turned out to be a region unlike any other Simonegana has been to. There are sports tournaments. Unfortunately, no signs of fireworks.

“Welcome to Capitalist States!”
As Simonegana got off of the military grade geo-lifting helicopter to June 15’s featured region, Simonegana felt a surge of excitement. Surely a capitalist region will have some fireworks? Simonegana has already found one of the million lost boxes. There are nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine left to go.
“Simonegana, my crew gave me bad news,” explorer and Simonegana’s ally Farrah Delgado said, “According to the others, the next featured region has some…incoming dangerous events.”
“Oh no…” Simonegana said, “What should we do?”
“We’ll talk about this tomorrow,” Farrah said, “For now, let’s start searching for…”
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!
It was a firework show. Simonegana and Farrah ran towards it immediately.
“Has anyone seen—,” Farrah started.
“Pilosina’s fireworks don’t look like that,” Simonegana corrected, “I’ve seen them before.”
“If I have Pilosina’s fireworks, I would have turned them in by now!” somebody said.
Luckily, this region is small. Unfortunately, Pilosina’s fireworks aren’t here.

For some reason, Simonegana arrived at June 17’s featured region, Mississippi, early. There were both a state and a river waiting for them. Unfortunately, Mississippi is one of Simonegana’s larger destinations…and they are alone this time. At least there are some beautiful magnolias here—
Wait. That’s not a normal magnolia. It’s glowing…
“No fireworks here. Please move on.” It said. Then it exploded.

“Welcome to the LVVMA (AKA Las Valley!)”
It was nighttime and June 22, 2024. Simonegana looked around upon arrival at the LVVMA. Tall buildings, gambling areas, nightlife…a cool place for once. The last few featured regions were all somewhat generic and had no fireworks. Except…
Where are Farrah Delgado and the star-shaped spaceships Simonegana met in Herpetology?
Simonegana has gone to every featured region since June 6, 2024, but Farrah and the spaceships haven’t been seen since June 16.
Wait. Farrah did alert Simonegana of an incoming dangerous event. What if…Simonegana escaped but Farrah didn’t?
As Simonegana walked around the LVVMA and tried to think of a plan, they heard fireworks in the distance. Simonegana walked towards the source and when they arrived, they saw a receipt and a sign saying “Pilosina’s fireworks are not in The Las Vegas Valley Metropolitan Area.”

”Woohoo!!!”
It was June 26. Simonegana, after traveling through a Taiwan-themed region and two raided regions without fireworks, arrived at Emu Timeline Oceania, an emu-themed region. Of course, this region may appear to be a lot less interesting than ROC Taiwan, but what happened inside the region was very interesting.
“Look at that. I ran into a super tiny region with no…,” Simonegana began. Suddenly, they got a phone call from Iziba.
“Simonegana, I have bad news,” Iziba began.
“What is it?” Simonegana asked.
“Some malicious assassins are trying to track the firework hunters down,” Iziba explained, “They’ve already abducted a crew of explorers and I have a bad feeling you might be next…AHHHHHH!!!!”
Iziba hung up.

Simonegana was about to board a military grade geo-lifting helicopter to Hellenic Civilization on June 27 when they noticed a sudden surge of black and green figures nearby. Knowing that some malicious assassins might try to hunt them down, Simonegana decided to find another way to get to the day’s featured region.
Eventually, Simonegana found a subway line from Emu Timeline Oceania to Hellenic Civilization. They boarded it and made it to the featured region safely. Unfortunately, according to the news, some firework hunters and featured travelers weren’t so lucky.
Hellenic Civilization, like what its name suggests, appears to be a normal Hellenic civilization. What makes it stand out is how many times it has been featured. Six times. That’s a lot.
When Simonegana was looking around the region in search of fireworks, they found a box. Two boxes have been found! Better, this one has the flag of Pilosina on it. When Simonegana searched for more boxes and didn’t find any, they saw a horde of…
“ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!”
…zombies, shady people, and innocent people and countryballs running away. Simonegana started to run away too. Along the way, Simonegana noticed one of the innocent countryballs was…
“That countryball looks familiar. Who could it be? Maybe…wait…it couldn’t be…FTS?!?!”
…Feature traveler simonia?! But aren’t they dead? FTS hasn’t been seen for 108 days!
After Simonegana finally outran the zombies, they knew the next few days were going to be interesting.

It was June 28. Simonegana expected the day to be normal, but when boarding a military grade geo-lifting helicopter to The Levant, the featured region, Simonegana saw Feature traveler simonia again. This time, FTS looked like a ghost. On the helicopter, Simonegana decided to interrogate FTS.
“How are you still alive?” Simonegana asked.
“I’m not. I was cursed to haunt featured regions ever since the feature travelers associated with me disappeared in the Midwest,” FTS explained, “I’ve been trying to find a way to become alive again, but can’t…especially after zombies started to hunt for me.”
“I know how to become alive again!” Simonegana said, “You revive yourself in the Boneyard! Or at least, that’s how I was told Dora lana came back from the dead. Though they weren’t the same.”
“Where’s the Boneyard?” FTS asked, “And how do I get there when I have to go to featured regions?”
“Honestly, I don’t know,” Simonegana replied, “Ask Dora Lana.”
“Wait. We forgot to introduce ourselves,” FTS said, “I know you know who I am, but I’m Feature Traveler Simonia, a feature traveler.”
“I’m Simonegana, a former region hopper and feature traveler ever since I got banned from my spawn region, the Pacific,” Simonegana said.
The Levant appeared to be an Islamic region that is a testament to someone’s faith. After reading the WFE and looking around, Simonegana decided that there wouldn’t be much of a chance for fireworks to be here. So Simonegana decided to find a way to enter the Boneyard. They called Dora lana.
“Yes?”
“DL, I need your help. How did you get to the Boneyard and revive yourself?”
“Actually, you got how I revived myself mistaken. I don’t know how I got refounded. I just did.”
Just as Dora Lana hung up, Feature traveler simonia came back.
