[Action!]

Man, is this place big.

[It seems a newbie has arrived within Luceti's enclosure, flying with ease several dozen meters above the forest floor. He's already found his wings, feeling the slightly-sore appendages ruffling in the breeze as he picks up speed, trying to see or sense anyone or anything familiar. There are a few power signatures he recognizes as people he knows, and flying towards them seems like the smartest thing to do. But that doesn't mean he won't be looking below at the people, or animals, that might be down there.

This place has a different feel from Earth, but it doesn't feel like Namek either. Just where has he ended up, and why?

... Maybe he should prioritize clothes, though. The power signatures don't feel like they're in peril, and even if it seems like it's spring here it still feels too cold to be flying around in nothing but these white pants. So he'll land in the town square once he spots the buildings, looking around for anything that seems like it might have clothes. He'll have to explain that he doesn't have any money though...]

Oh cool, I think it's working. [There's a teenage boy with black hair on the screen, and he pulls back to clear his throat while he prepares to speak once he's sure that the feed is on. What someone might notice is the odd costume he's wearing, but he doesn't seem too bothered by it as he gets ready.

If someone asks, he can brush it off as cosplay... They'd believe Saiyaman is popular enough for that, right?]

Hey, everyone! I've heard that these guys called the Malnosso are keeping us in this place called Luceti... Is there a library or book store or something where I could look up more information on them? You know, so I can learn more. Or maybe if you could tell me where there's a big open space to train too, somewhere where there isn't a lot of wildlife and no people around to bother with it.

[His stomach growls rather loudly, prompting a flush from the boy as he makes to rub the back of his head.]

Maybe a place where a guy can get something to eat too? That'd be great. Thanks a lot for your time.

DO WHAT I WANT

[misterbrief]

[He's trying to ignore that awful costume He glances at the piles of books. Not surprising, but still, oh so very nerdy. He doesn't really have an answer to Gohan's statement, but rather, a question of his own-]

What is it that you hope to find in all these books? There's far more important things to do than wasting time reading.

BAD. BAD MONKEY PRINCE. Do I have to get the spray bottle?

[supersaiyadork]

[Never ignore it it's awesome darn it]

I thought I'd get as much information as possible about this world, and about the people keeping us here. This isn't like fighting Cell as far as I can tell, we need to know more before we jump into the fight.

T-T-T-THAT'S SO MEAN

[misterbrief]

[MAN WHAT A NERD]

[He moves to Gohan's side, takes the cover of the book he's reading and slams it shut as hard as he can without breaking the desk, without warning.]

You can read once you've finished training for the day. But by the time you're done you're not going to want to move an inch.

BT Deal with it

[supersaiyadork]

[Hey--! He sighs, frowning at the prince before he straightens where he's sitting and makes to take the book out from under his palm.]

Force isn't going to solve everything, Vegeta. I can train in an hour or two, but if I just jump in head first it won't end well - especially if these malnosso guys are as powerful as these books are implying.

BE A BRAT WILL YOU

[misterbrief]

[He turns his mouth up as Gohan takes the book out from underneath his palm. If they boy was going to be like that, then fine.

He raises his finger, pointing at it and fires a little beam at the book, with the intent on turning it to ash.]

asdfjkl; R U D E

[supersaiyadork]

Hey! [Aw, he wasn't done with that! He gives Vegeta just a little glare before he gets up, obviously displeased by the loss of his reading material.]

What's the big idea? Training your brain's important too, you know.

[misterbrief]

You can do that on your own time. [If Gohan only knew that Vegeta actually read here. He even read the guide, after a time.]

There's far more important work to be done, and as far as I'm concerned, hands-on experience is the best teacher.

/has yet to upload all the icons sob

[supersaiyadork]

It's also the easiest way to get killed. I'm plenty strong with my body, I can still go super saiyan 2 if I need to without much trouble and I still train sometimes, but strength isn't everything - we learned that the hard way with Cell, remember?

s'fine they 'aint going anywhere btw i don't think the library actually contains info on luceti

[misterbrief]

You still train? Is that a fact? [He doesn't believe you Gohan, he remembers the whole debacle when Babidi showed up.]

You can read all you want but it is very different when you are on the battlefield. There's no excuse to sit in here and let your battle sense wear away.

Yeah I figured as much, but Gohan would try anyway

[supersaiyadork]

Well, yeah, I've kind of had to. I mean, I'm going to enter the World Martial Arts tournament again...

[Under no choice of his own. Darn it Videl... But he said he would, and he wants to keep his family's privacy intact so he really has no choice.]

[misterbrief]

Yes, what a burden, training. I know you'd much rather waste your time on other things like seeing girls or burying your nose in books. Isn't it unfortunate, you don't get those luxuries anymore, because we have serious work to do.

[That statement Gohan gave me told him what time period he was from, before everything horrible happened with Buu. And there's no way he'll let Gohan slack now, he won't have a repeat performance of Gohan's fight with Dabura.]

[supersaiyadork]

Come on Vegeta, training all the time can't be good for your body can it?

[Okay now he really is trying to worm out of it but he can try can't he?]

[misterbrief]

If you want to die out on the battlefield with the rest of the weaklings, fine. But don't say I didn't warn you.

[His finger taps against his arm, faster and faster. That is not a good sign.]

[supersaiyadork]

Die? What do you mean, it's not that easy to kill us. I mean, we've survived so much haven't we?

[misterbrief]

It's pretty easy if you let yourself develop a gut and all of a sudden you're left defending yourself with nothing but your hands and a prayer! [A prayer that wouldn't be answered.]

This is a whole new ball game Gohan, this isn't like home. Now quit jabbering and get to work.

[supersaiyadork]

You sure you're not worrying too much, Vegeta? It's been nothing but peaceful since we came here, so we have time to plan for what we need to do.

[misterbrief]

[He sort of rounds on Gohan for that.]

You haven't been here as long as I have, and you have not experienced that which I have. Seen the things I have seen, watched those who have fought be killed when they should have never of even of been touched by those degenerate fools! [And in comparison, Vegeta hasn't seen jack to others who've been there longer.]

You don't know a darn thing, so zip it before I do it for you!

[supersaiyadork]

What, you're serious?

[ Well that does startle him a bit. He blinks hard a few times before his expression becomes more serious. If it's spooking Vegeta this badly...

He doesn't think he's seen the other like this in years. ]

What do you mean, Vegeta? They shouldn't have been touched but they were killed?

[misterbrief]

They're far stronger than our enemies. It's just that they cheat and use abilities that nullify ours. They can't even fight us without handicapping us. But of course, they gain the advantage.

[He huffs. He still beat elites even without powers, and he's proud of it.]

Do you understand what I'm getting at now? Or have you filled that head of yours with so much worthless information from those books that you've completely forgotten how to comprehend battle?

[supersaiyadork]

If they're as bad as you say, then what do you want to try? You just said yourself, they can handicap our powers and strength. The best we could do is improve on technique.

[misterbrief]

[He glares at Gohan, tapping his finger against his arm more furiously than before.]

I don't care how you do it, but sitting in here is not helping! [He'd answer Gohan's question if he wasn't already losing his temper with the boy.]

[supersaiyadork]

[ Yeah that temper has him on edge, but at the same time it's starting to rile him up as well. He might have started to calm down over the years, but the furious temper of his own is still there. So there he is, on his feet and starting to glare down Vegeta as well. ]

Then what do you want me to do? It doesn't sound like regular training is going to help this time, Vegeta!

[misterbrief]

[He points his finger right at Gohan, still glaring.]

I've been working with weapons for use in powerless combat. Maybe you should think about starting there instead of sitting around.

[supersaiyadork]

Huh... Yeah, that could work. Maybe a sword, like what Trunks was using - uh, not the young Trunks, the one from the future who helped us fight the androids.

[misterbrief]

Yes, I'm fully aware of that! [He'd never trust his child son with a sword oh god he'd probably end up killing Goten in the process, or vice versa]

Well? What are you waiting for?!
