"An army huh...? Yeah, I guess it would be. Never really fought a big enough group of people before to need to use that though." Granted, he had used some similar attacks on Elites, only because he figured all that fire would do some good in keeping them back. Against powerful enemies it seemed a little silly to use that, but when dealing with something like their father's standard grunt then sure, blast to your heart's content. "Think like what...? You mean fighting father's troops?" Takeshi asked, raising an eyebrow. "Not a totally bad idea honestly, it would definitely help thin out big groups. Plus to be honest its pretty weak compared to a lot of other attacks, so if nothing else its good for making people move." Plus it was just kind of fun, throwing blasts around like that. It was so easy too they could probably do it for quite a while before getting tired. Something like the Kamehameha on the other hand was much more powerful, but at the same time took more Ki. "It's pretty obvious, but the stronger the blast the more Ki it takes, and usually the longer it'll take to charge. The difference is maybe a second or two, but that can mean a lot during a fight."

Throwing Ki was definitely a matter that required more attention. Shu hardly got any distance in his throws and while T'charrl got distance his blasts were weaker. It took a balance of control to throw and channeling enough strength in a blast to make it effective. Frankly if they were to fight Takeshi doubted T'charrl's attacks would hurt much, and while Shu's would he was skeptical they'd ever hit him unless he stood still.., And five feet away. Not to bash their efforts, they were doing exceptionally well so far, but they still had a ways to go. "A boat floats in the water, it lets you travel without getting wet," Takeshi explained, smiling as he dropped said vessel on the shore. "Not that we'll need something like this if you two can fly." Shu's question about Roshi made the older boy grin, and after putting a finger to his lips he watched the aforementioned man walk inside with Viral. Chuckling he grabbed the edge of the boat, flying out over the water with it in hand before placing it about twenty meters out. "He won't know about it, so don't worry! It'll be our little secret!" he called back, cupping his mouth to make his voice carry. "Now go on, fire away guys!"

Getting through to Viral was going to be no small feat. He needed a pick me up, something to brighten his outlook a little bit. While Roshi himself certainly couldn't provide anything of the sorts he had an idea, and knew someone who could carry it out. They didn't have any more need to keep outside like this, and the person he needed to speak to was inside anyways. Getting the Beastman to come with him Roshi got to his feet, heading into the house while blissfully unaware of what the trio of boys were up to on the other side. Pushing open the screen door he found Yumi sat on the sofa in his living room, still talking away on the phone. Good, so he wasn't going to have to make a call. Holding a finger up for Viral to wait a moment he shuffled over, leaning against the edge of the couch. Smiling innocently as he was giving an accusing stare the hermit shook his head, motioning for the girl to come closer. "Listen... Your friend over there has it pretty bad, we need to cheer him up and I've got just the thing..." Roshi whispered. A skeptical look made him grin, he definitely had something, "Throw him a birthday party. He said he's never had one before, so why not start now?"

Yumi figured whatever Roshi had to say was full of fluff. Preparing to smack him for being an idiot she paused when she actually heard him out, her eyes brightening at the suggestion. That was... Actually a really good idea. They had the place to do it, time and resources, so why not? Now it was her turn to tell someone to wait, and after sending a knowing smile Viral's way she got up out of her seat, hurrying off into the kitchen for some privacy. Closing the door behind her to make sure no one followed she giggled slightly, becoming excited at the idea. "Vegeta...? I just got a really good idea. If you're not busy tomorrow we should throw Viral a birthday party!"

Now that was some random transition. They had just been talking about finding homes for all of their new companions, and now they were on about birthday parties? Vegeta blinked in confusion at first, smiling slightly as he thought about it. Not totally unreasonable, he could have a proper bash set up in a matter of hours. Though it was already late in the day, so as Yumi proposed it would have to be tomorrow. A few quick calls and he could get caterers, entertainers, whatever was needed. Then again Viral probably didn't want over the top, a simple get together would be fine. "That sounds like an idea. Hm... Tell you what. I'll finish up here and then call a few people, see if I can find someone to help organize it. In the mean time you keep him at Roshi's house, understand?" There was a stammered question of 'How' on the other line, making Vegeta chuckle. "I needed to know where you were taking Viral, so I kept tabs on you guys in the city. And I was told you'd left for the ocean so I figured that was where you were heading, was I wrong?"

"No, we're here. But okay, I can keep him here for the night! Just be sure to have things ready by... Tomorrow evening, okay? I want it to be special since it's his first and all." Knowing full well her friend would be on the case Yumi hung up after that, suppressing a cheeky smile as she left the kitchen and came back to the others. Placing the phone on the receiver calmly she walked up to Viral, smiling at him with her hands behind her back. "Guess what? We're spending the night here! Hope you like the smell of sea salt."
