Block IV - Suspicious Request. [Visual]

[foolish_seal]

I need rockets.

[Minato what.]

Not big ones. I need some of those small rockets you find in model kits. Magic-powered, fuel-powered, whatever's available here. Needs to be a bit more than five kilograms of lift each, and I'd say...

[He looks offscreen for a moment to count something.]

Around eighty rockets in total, give or take.

[...Fool bro, what are you even...? Yu decided to keep the conversation private for now. Juuuuust in case.]

What's going on?

[Visual | Private]

[foolish_seal]

[Well, since it's private, Minato will go ahead and spill the beans.]

There's a beach party next Monday.

[With that, he turns the scroll to show what he was looking at.]

[It's a massive pile of watermelons.]

Since a lot of ponies going are trained fighters, normal suikawari would be boring.

[It took all of a second for that to click in Yu's head, and a smile slightly bigger than usual worked it's way onto his face.]

How can I help?

[Visual | Private]

[foolish_seal]

Other than help me find a supplier, I've got everything covered. ...Unless you want to help me test it out.

[want_a_vacation]

Uh...what do you need eighty rockets for?

[foolish_seal]

Reasons.

[That explains everything, really.]

Strikes are internal monologue.

[want_a_vacation]

Well that's specific.

I don't suppose you plan on sharing those reasons before expecting people to bring you high velocity flying objects?

[foolish_seal]

If you've got something to offer, I'll say, but I want it to be something of a surprise.

[kingofthetvworld]

[Sounds legit.]

I'll get right on it!

[Visual]

[foolish_seal]

[Not even questioning it? Good on you, Teddie.]

Thanks. The results will be fun.

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

[What's the point of questioning? This is the same kid who asked for hundreds of dresses for absolutely no reason. Besides, "fun" is all the motivation he needs.]

You can count on Teddie! I'll find the most explodey-est rockets you've ever seen!

[Visual]

[foolish_seal]

I don't need exploding ones. Just ones that can carry things up in the air. Exploding would ruin the fun.

[But now that he mentions it...]

...Okay, maybe we could do with a few exploding ones, just because.

[ponymechanic]

Rockets? What would you need them for? It's August and I don't think you guys celebrate 4th of July.

[foolish_seal]

Rockets, not fireworks.

It's for a thing. It'll be worth it, trust me.

[ponymechanic]

[He thought about inquiring further, but decides against it.]

Okay... As long as it's not anything destructive.

[polyturtle]

[Blink.]

Any particular reason?

[foolish_seal]

I have things I need to strap rockets to.

[That's... specific. Also foreboding.]

[polyturtle]

...And you're strapping....what to these rockets?

[Yeah, he's totally not suspicious.]

Not Here

[neighfeni]

[And somewhere, Nephenee has a Very Bad Feeling and has no idea why.]

[private]

[trustme]

I hesitate to tell you where you might find some.

Are you planning a trip into space or an attack?

[private]

[foolish_seal]

I've already found a supplier.

They're just for a game. Nothing violent or extravagant.

[private]

[trustme]

And you have the experience to handle these rockets safely? [If you do that's actually pretty interesting.]

[nvcr]

I could certainly try.

I mean, whose careless days of youth are complete without a few explosives?

[foolish_seal]

I've got somepony willing to supply me already, but I'll let you know how things turn out.

Unless you want to be part of it.

[nvcr]

...Iunno, the last time I got involved it was, well, unfortunate.

[THANKS, HANBEI.]

But I suppose I could give this a second chance.
