[Earth Time: November 5] Guy Fox Day is a not-quite-official holiday celebrated in Rephidim City, commemorating the legendary attempt of an Exile Fox would-be assassin to blow up the Captain-Astromancer ... but who set off the explosions prematurely, taking care of himself in the process. The holiday, due to its quasi-official status, is typically celebrated by a parade that goes through the Bazaar region, rather than through the city proper (though it is common for the Temple Scouts to be involved in the festivities.) It is a time of fireworks, most notably involving flammable effigies of Foxes, either made of paper mache, or (the more expensive varieties) being stuffed animals with fur hides ... stuffed, that is, with fireworks, with the tail serving as a fuse.
