Hey! Does anyone know how to set off fireworks?

[ No context, no explanation, that's all you're getting unless you ask. It's early in the morning, but for once Naruto is wide awake; bright eyed and bushy tailed and full to bursting with animated ideas of what he's planning. Luckily for Naruto (unluckily for everyone else) Naruto isn't all that familiar with the community at large and therefore this request may appear quite a normal one.. There's just the small detail of Naruto's reckless personality that might ring alarm bells, and the fact that he hasn't an ounce of common sense. The way he's staring intently and excitedly into the camera might also be a little unsettling. ]

You light them and then stand back. Or NOT stand back--I mean, doesn't matter to me if it explodes in your face.

Okay, I'll bite. What's the occasion?

[thinhammer]

[ Naruto doesn't take offense - not because he's the bigger man or anything.. he's just not actually listening. ]

It's my friends birthday! I wanna set some off so we can watch 'em!

[driftsintobuffetline]

[Newt is sure this is a sign he's getting old when he thinks 'please don't live in De Chima']

Right. Just, uh, I'm all for cool explosions and shit, but my roommate's going to be a grouch if we have to listen to your fireworks all night.

[resipiscent]

...

[This doesn't bode well.]

Why do you ask?

[thinhammer]

[ Heeey, it's used-to-be-an-asshole guy! Naruto's face lights up like he's just been given a gingerbread trail to the gunpowder house. ]

It's Sai's birthday today! Ya remember him, right?

[resipiscent]

Yeah. He's a good guy.

[He's curious though -- fireworks...]

So you're gonna set off fireworks for him...?

[restingstitchface]

Well, I'm something of an expert. What are your intentions?

[His swearing-in party had included a fireworks display. Can you see the humor, here?]

-> voice, I GUESS. youre lucky its cute ur camera shy

[thinhammer]

It's Sai's birthday!!!

[ No, he's not sick of yelling it yet. Birthdays are GREAT and finally Naruto gets to celebrate one properly!! Without missions or a distinct lack of friends impeding him!!! YEAH!!! He's hasn't even begun to put two and two together about Crane's "joke"... ]

I gotta make a big show, y'know, so we can sit on the roof and watch it!

UGH NO NARUTO

[restingstitchface]

[Hmm.

Honestly, he doesn't care. But this situation? It's amusing him.]

What a lovely thought.

Would you like me to craft you some? They'll bring down the house, I assure you.

Unless you made your own, I'm not sure what's so hard here. Ya light the string and point the thing away from your eyes.

[thinhammer]

[ He's only ever seen fireworks from a distance, so the source is pretty much a mystery to him. He'd pipe up about this guys sassy attitude if his mind hadn't found itself snagged on something much more interesting. ]

Hold up a second... Ya can make your own fireworks?

[ This is heading in an awful direction. ]

[moneylogues]

You light them. Shit blows up. It's not rocket science.

[thinhammer]

Oi, I ain't never seen them from the ground before, I've always just watched what they do in the sky, ok?

[ It might as well be rocket science for all Naruto knows. He's not the brightest bulb in the box. ]

Is there like a firework man I can get 'em from, like the ramen guy? [ Case and point. ]

[mightthinkthat]

Hire a fireman to put out any resultant fires.

[thinhammer]

Ah, don't gotta worry about that! I can put out a fire just fine by myself!

[ Probably. He can't manipulate water, but he can handle wind? That's kind of the same, right? That'll totally get the job done... right? ]

[quaerit]

[ Why are all of these people encouraging him?! ]

If that's a question you have to ask, you shouldn't be anywhere near them.

You are aware that they're dangerous?

[thinhammer]

Eeeh? How'dya expect me to learn anythin' without askin' huh?

[ He obviously hasn't worked out how to WikiHow something just yet. Give him time, okay, his world is incredibly technologically dense. He'll get there one day.
At the mention of danger, however, he puffs up his chest like a proud rooster because he definitely is that sort of guy. ]

Pfeh, I can handle danger.

[daimeinashi]

...Fireworks?

[THAT WASN'T IN HIS NOTES AS A BIRTHDAY THING....]

[thinhammer]

Sai, get outta here! You're gonna ruin the surprise!

[ The surprise would have been more impressive if Naruto had filtered this post so Sai couldn't see it but... he's not that smart. He was also much too excited for forethought, as usual. ]

[buildsfriends]

Probably- I mean, probably insult them. Tell them mean things, like...like you aren't as blue as you could be! Because blue is expensive. Yeah, that'd probably make me a little mad.

[thinhammer]

[ Naruto stares for a really long time, kind of half squinting half frowning with the effort it's taking to attempt to translate what this guy just said. Bl..ue...? Naruto isn't exactly a genius, so in his defeat as he makes neither head nor tail of whatever Mister Blue just said, Naruto goes with what is right infront of him. ]

Well, you're pretty blue so I guess no-one can tell ya that, huh?

[ Nailed it. ]

But how's that gonna make my fireworks explode?

[voice]; ID reads Kaito Kuroba

[tuxedo_magician]

I've done it before, for my best friend's birthday.

[thinhammer]

[ He doesn't recognise this voice, but haha who cares!!! He's answering with enough familiarity that it's almost like he knows this stranger personally. ]

Yeah? Ain't it the best? I can't think of another way I'd wanna celebrate somethin' than watchin' fireworks.

So, you know how to set 'em off and which ones are the best ones, yeah? You gonna tell me?

video;

[clownshoes]

You just light 'em, right? But you gotta make sure they're big ones!

[thinhammer]

Hell yeah, they're gonna be big ones!

[ Now this response is a response he can get behind. He likes this guy already. ]

I'm gonna get the biggest, brightest and best ones I can find, I'm gonna stick 'em all together... and I'm gonna make sure there's not any boring breaks between 'em too! It's gonna be the best birthday surprise, y'know!
