39th Lance ↟ | Pool Party Planning [Visual/Action, Privated from Morgan, Backdated to before event]

[neighfeni]

[Not long before several of the offworlders get sucked iinto an epictaking place in the distant past, some in the Commune might have noticed some meetings between a certain blue Commune leader and what looked to be construction workers. Most of the time, they seemed amicable, but once or twice, there was some clearly deep discussion, both sides waving hooves in grand gestures, indicating something foreign to anyone not privy to the conversation.

It's after one of these talks, that Nephenee shows up on the scrolls, sweaty and a bit disheveled, but no more so than usual during the summer. The Sentinel peers about for a moment to be sure somepony isn't around, before addressing everyone else, voice a bit hushed.]

Hey folks, Ah wanted to let y'all know somethin', an' ask a favor o'few.

So, Morgan's birthday's comin' up the 29th, an' Ah really wanna have a nice party for him, an' everypony's invited! In fact, it's a pool party! Ah mean what better way to spend time when it's gettin' to be the hottest part o'the year?

Ah gotta few ideas, but Ah've never thrown a pool party before, an' wanted see 'bout gettin' some ideas...mean, what's normally at a pool party?

Second, Ah've been workin' to get the pool for the house, since that's..kinda the big present, an' even managed to haggle for one for the Commune, too, but...we ran into a problem. Namely, since it's a surprise, Ah'm..kinda at a loss for figurin' how we hide the enclosures.

[Her expression looks very confused now.]

Mean. how do ya hide a buildin'? So...Ah need ideas on how to either hide it somehow as it's gettin' built, or, probably a better idea, distract him long enough for a bunch o'us to do it, an' hide it til he gets back or whatever. Ah'd probably be better at figurin' this out myself, but... [She holds up some theoretical magic homework.] Ah think this done fried my brain.

Also, if folks would like, Ah could use some help settin' up for the party, too. Like...Miss Pinkie, Miss Mina, would y'all be willin' to help me with the cake? Ah gotta idea for one, but...don't really know how to do it. Y'all are the best party planners around, though!

If..anyone else got any ideas, Ah'd be all for 'em!

[Action to Minato and Shinji]

[It's a lovely, if hot, day in the area surrounding Ponyville; the sky is clear thanks to the weather ponies, aside from those being used, but that leaves a problem. Namely, that due to the heat, the crops dry quicker, so the ponies have been having to work a bit harder to keep them up. Nephenee might have suckered bribed politely asked several pegasi out in order to keep their losses down, one of which was one of her brothers here. She didn't know he might bring help, but she certainly wouldn't turn it down, either.

The air is full of various farm related noises as Minato and Shinjiro approach the farm proper, animals calling and ponies planning and pouncing on clouds with a poing! Well, mostly just one doing that at the moment, as she tried to coax a particularly stubborn cloud to release its water.]

Oh, if ya ain't the most ornery cloud..!

[She looks rather silly glaring down at the cloud as she bounces determinedly on the sky fluff.]

Ciri, Ah be needin' that water yesterday!

[..Of course it has a punny cloud name. Well, care to approach the cloud wrangler?]
