[action] Open to all! 4th wall included!

[fighting4afuture]

[It's been an interesting week. All the ki signatures appearing, disappearing, and reappearing again have given him, if he was honest, a bit of a headache. Vegeta alone had nearly driven him to distraction with all the times he was back and forth. There were the usual, ever-present energies at least.

After a while, it seemed he'd given up on being suspicious and uneasy, accepting the current weirdness as best he could. He was still restless though, walking around Garden when he wasn't in classes.]

Comments

[neededahand]

[Another ki signature has just materialized. Lookit. It's probably familiar, and so is the owner, bracing himself a bit uneasily against a tree. He hasn't noticed Trunks in the vicinity, and is thinking out loud.]

Mm, this isn't how the others described Judgment to me... It was less grassy and more cloudy, if I remember right.

[1/2]

[fighting4afuture]

[The ki signature is what he feels first, and he starts in that direction--he's fairly sure that it belongs to the other timeline Gohan, but he'd still want to welcome him.

...and then he sees, and it stops him short.]

[2/2]

[fighting4afuture]

...Gohan?

[It's really him. Isn't it?

I will lol so hard if he thinks Trunks is dead too.]

[neededahand]

[Yes. Yes, it really is, and Gohan has to stop and stare at the source of the voice.

He looks genuinely pleased for just the barest second, before hardening back to a disappointed smirk.]

You had better not be prioritizing seeing me over saving the world, kid. Although.

[He starts to think.]

You're... much too tall. I couldn't have been dead that long, and [glances at his arm.] this should have been fixed... It was for Tien.

[fighting4afuture]

[He sounded younger at least?

And yeah, he'd totally prioritize seeing you over saving the world.]

It's been...five years.

[Thanks to timey-wimey shenanigans, Trunks isn't sure if he should consider it four or five. Anyway, shaking his head.]

I...this is another world, Gohan, and it's not the afterlife.

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

You look distressed!

[The chef drops down from the second floor in the Lobby, landing perfectly. Yes, he can hide his ki well enough to appear like that. He offers up an unusually large bowl, full of --]

Take this! Hot and sour soup will refresh your body and rekindle the burning passion of your spirit!

[fighting4afuture]

[Trunks LEAPS backwards, eyes wide. He...really doesn't like being caught off guard like that.]

Kami...! Don't do that!

[Indignation!]

[kitchenfistfirechaosstyle]

Hyahya! I apologize. A requirement of being a helpful yet odd mentor sort who appears out of nowhere to offer support and advice is, well, appearing out of nowhere.

[fighting4afuture]

And you're very good at it.

[Geeze he just really doesn't like being snuck up on.]

I just don't like being caught off guard.

[saiyan_prince]

[Great, he's here again. Vegeta sighs, looking around to see where he's ended up this time.]

...you again.

[fighting4afuture]

[oh boy. Just what he always wanted.]

[He just ducks his head, acting, if not deferential, at least nomaggressive. He's felt you pingponging in and out.]

Hello again.

[saiyan_prince]

[Ugh, at least the human's being properly submissive. He might as well eat while he's here.]

Take me to the cafeteria.

[fighting4afuture]

[of course he found that...]

Sure. This way.

Yes, I have to bug you here too.

[gunkonmyboot]

[Let's see... being stuck in the belly of a cockroach or... wonder here. Suppose anything is better than being part of a monster.

17 pauses and sees a familiar face. 17 walks up from behind Trunks.]

Fancy meeting you here.

BUG ME EVERYWHERE, PLEASE. :D

[fighting4afuture]

[Yeah pretty much sucks to be you, but Trunks has none of the sympathy. None of it.

He also really doesn't like being approached like that, much less by you. Excuse him for being jumpy, your future self has nearly killed him about fifty hundred times or so by now.

The only reason he's not flipping shit? He's pretty sure at this point that he's stronger, since he was going toe to toe with Perfect Cell, at least for a while. Though if he could kill with his eyes, you might be in trouble right now.]

I could say the same for you. Terrorizing one world wasn't enough?

[One false move and he goes for the sword. Give him a reason, he'd love it.]

~~BUGS~~~ :D

[gunkonmyboot]

[I'm sure he would.

Who shoved this kid's sword up his a**? Sure 17 can see him a bit different. Does it concern him? Um... nope. Wait, what did he said about some other world? Are you pulling his chip? The cyborg shrugs calmly.]

I suppose all Sayians enjoys picking fights. Unless you have any better ideas to pass the time, I'll be on my way.

:D Yay!

[fighting4afuture]

[He feels his anger and sword-up-ass-ness, whatever it may be, is completely justified thankyouverymuch. You might be from the past timeline--and the way you're talking he's completely sure you are--but that...really doesn't win you any points with him okay well it was a nice thought. Practically hissing.]

I'm a product of my environment, what can I say.

[Yeah being friendly isn't on the schedule for today, sry.]

Be on your way, back to what? Being a glorified battery pack for a giant insect?

[Taking a shot in the dark there, but hey. Also if it hadn't made his life so much more inconvenient he really wouldn't give a fuck about that. Serves you right.]

[y_so_standard]

[Oh! Hey, it's that guy that was so helpful before.]

Hello Trunks, is everything alright?

[fighting4afuture]

[Oh hey little neighbor guy.]

Yeah, just have a bit of a headache. How're you doing, 623?

[y_so_standard]

[Yay someone that doesn't make an issue about the fact his name is a number.]

I'm alright...this place is very odd but I am getting used to it. Do people always come in and out this randomly?

[fighting4afuture]

[He's still a little unsure about it, but he's not going to overtly say anything.]

Not that I know of, but I haven't been here much longer than you have.

SO LATE AGH SORRY SORRY

[rebellingheart]

[Trunks said "Stay away from the teenage version of my dad" so Rinoa's going to go out of her way to search for teenage Vegeta. What she's going to do when she finds him? Well she hasn't figured that part out just yet.]

[saiyan_prince]

[Vegeta has appeared in the academy yet again, this time when he was in the middle of an actual fight. He shows his frustration by shooting a ki blast at the nearest wall, growling.]

[rebellingheart]

[Aha! She found him! Wow, he looks... really young. That's what Trunks had said, but actually seeing it for herself is really weird.]

What'd that poor wall ever do to you?

[Yeah caution is for people who are cautious, Rinoa is not one of those people.

[saiyan_prince]

What's it to you?

[He leers, somehow managing to look down at her despite his height.]

If this place is going to pull me in when I'm busy, I'm going to make it regret that course of action.
