[She suddenly seems more excited by this idea.]

So it's something that would fire the balloons for me?

[i_speak_softly]

Yes, exactly!

[ilyana]

Do you know how to make something like that?

[i_speak_softly]

[He scoffs.]

Do I know how to make something like that. How big do you want it?

[Please say "very big".]

[ilyana]

[That makes her kind of curious.]

How big can you make it? Do you think we should build a catapult or something?

[i_speak_softly]

[... Maybe he should just tell her the right answer.]

I will build you a water balloon cannon.

[ilyana]

[You've lost her again Donny]

A cannon? Is that something like a ballista?

[i_speak_softly]

Erm... same general concept, different mechanism.

[ilyana]

[Ilyana shook her head]

Alright... forget the details, what do we need? And how can I help?

[i_speak_softly]

I think I have all the parts. Come to my house in a few days and you can help me put it together.

((Since this is already way backdated, you can just assume Ilyana acquired some kind of water balloon bazooka, if you want.))

Sorry for the late tag.

[ilyana]

[Ilyana gave him a blank stare at that.]

But wasn't the point to use it for this? What good will it do me outside of a water balloon battle? In winter no less?

[i_speak_softly]

[Philosophically:] Spring and water balloon battles will come again.

[ilyana]

[She pauses to consider that, as almost nobody will expect her to have it ready to go when next the time comes for her to use it.]

Okay, let's do it!

(ooc: I'm good with just hand-waving it, and saying she got it several days after this.)

[i_speak_softly]

[Good. Don hands Ilyana another balloon, quietly pointing out an approaching pirate. May as well get in some more target practice.]


((And should we leave it there?))

[ilyana]

[Ilyana throws yet another balloon, only this time she squeezes it a little too hard and it explodes in her hand, splattering all over her.]

... I-I'll get better at this, I swear!

((Sounds good!))
