[Today was a huge shock and an irritation for Angelo. After having to wake up in the body of his twin and hearing others talk of a curse, he gets the feeling Trunks must be inside of his body and rushes back to the apartment. Unfortunately, trying to get back there involves him crashing into a few buildings along the way as he's not used to the whole flying thing yet. He also then opens his SFC to make a quick post. Some people might be a bit confused as it sounds like Trunks is speaking.]

Trunks, don't you dare touch my wine bottles or I'll make sure you regret it. Lloyd, keep him away from the cabinets as well. I'll be there as soon as I can. [Unfortunately he forgets to turn off his SFC as he's in a rush and flying really fast. What's heard next is "Did I just pass the apartment?", which is followed by a loud noise that sounds like a very painful thud as Angelo has slammed into the side of the bubble. Fortunately it's not that painful to him at least and seeing that his SFC was still on, he quickly turns it off so no one sees anymore embarrassing shenanigans.]

[ action | for Lloyd and Trunks ]

[Upon arriving at the apartment at last, after once again slamming into a wall and trying to carefully climb through the apartment window, Angelo looks a bit irritated.]

Where are you two? I'm not in the best of moods right now.

[Hearing that and Angelo having these overwhelming emotions, it may actually cause him to feel actual sympathy for the other in the room with him. He also might have a very pained sadness on his face.]

Trunks I...

[His expressions and emotions are the same, except he can't control them.]

I wish I was able to understand. Yet I...I can never do that, can I? Perhaps... Marcello was right all along, I'm a petty crook and a disgrace. I've never thought of anyone but myself before either, I don't...even know what real love is. That's pretty pathetic, isn't it?

[He puts his face into his hands as if to hide himself in shame.]

[Dammit now he feels like an asshole.]

...sorry, I don't really like talking about home. Makes me feel helpless. Even if I know that I'm strong enough now to put a stop to it, I can't bring anyone back.

[He can make things better--but he can't make them right.]

You understand enough to second-guess yourself. You're not beyond changing.

[He's silent for a few minutes, then looks at Trunks with the same expressions.]

Do you remember the time I said I wanted to be you? Then when I was about to speak afterwards, do you know what I was thinking at that time?

[Trunks just shakes his head. No psychic powers here.]

I thought... If I were ever returned home, I would only be remembered by others in this place for being your twin.

[He sighs soon after.]

I...envy you, Trunks. You have parents here who seem to truly care that you exist and it's the same for your companions. Don't ever stop cherishing them.

[Trunks sighs and leans backwards, propping himself up on the bed with his hands.]

You know the first time I really got to know my father was here in Vatheon? He was killed when I was too young to remember him. And when I go back home, that won't have changed. All the people I've gotten to know in the other timeline, their counterparts are all gone too. And Gohan...if he ever disappears from here, I don't know what I'll do, because he's dead too.

[So yeah, all those people that he has to cherish? Most of them are dead and gone, or might as well be once he really and truly goes back home.]

There's the other timeline, but they'll have their own version of me. And he'll get to grow up with his father around. And a sister. And I can't help but be a little bit jealous of him for it, and the fact that I can't stay.

Why don't you stay? You'll be with your father, mother, that other you, and his sister. Technically you're still family, why choose otherwise? You'd be happier that way.

[He gives Trunks a small smile, even if it's a sad one.]

You have a chance for happiness Trunks, don't waste it. Reach for that happiness with every ounce of your being. [He sits next to him on the bed, albeit very carefully.] Accomplish your dreams and do what I couldn't not only for your sake, but mine as well.

I can't stay because then everyone in my time--my home--would die. My mom, everyone else who's counting on me. I'd be letting them down. I'd be letting down everyone who came before me, everyone who believed that someday there would be someone who could win.

Life isn't always about choosing what makes you happy.

You're right, that is how life works and it's the reason I spent more than ten years of my life in an abbey where I was treated miserably. If you knew what I had to do in the name of the church, you'd be disgusted with me even more than I'm sure you are.

[Another sigh.] I'd pray every day to the Goddess to give me wings so I could fly away or to bring my parents back from the dead, yet neither ever happened. That's why when you offered to give me lessons to fly, I took that opportunity. It was the same back home when my companions came to the abbey and asked me to join, I took their offer so I could escape and have my freedom.

You can be a thoroughly unpleasant person to be around when you want to be, but I'm hardly disgusted with you.

[Yet.]

We should work on that. If you're going around full-throttle for the whole week, it'll make it harder to control how much strength you're using, you could end up seriously hurting someone. Luckily ki control is more instinctive for Saiyans, you should be able to get it down even quicker.

A thoroughly unpleasant person hmm? You're reminding me of people from home as those are words they'd use. I know there's more too, oh yes, wretched sinner is another.

[Not like it causes him a sting, even if the emotions inside of him think otherwise.]

If it's anything like magic, then I'll be able to control it. And you know, it's strange looking at myself from the outside and hearing someone else speak for me.

Well considering I think you can also be perfectly fine if you put your mind to it, I hope you're not too insulted.

[he hopes that's okay. Social pleasantries are hard. They're hard and he has trouble understanding.]

Well, it might be like your magic--actually I'd be interested to see if you can still use your magic this way, like I can still use my techniques--but my energy is also kind of destructive. Just increasing it can cause pressure that would easily crack walls, and if you go Super, you could conceivably bring a building down with you inside.

Oh I'm terribly insulted, I think my heart is breaking from the stinging words of your insult. Trunks, please remember me before I pass on to the next life as I die from heartbreak.

[He's totally kidding right now, but he loves teasing Trunks too much.]

And you want me to try using my magic in your body? I don't know if I could, mine is specially trained in the ways of being able to channel magic energy and I don't think yours is.

Edited 2012-09-20 20:19 (UTC)

[His eyes, they are rolling.]

If the Dragonballs existed here, I might even gather them to wish you back. Assuming heartbreak doesn't fall under 'natural causes'.

[As for the magic thing:]

My race is pretty adaptable where energy manipulation is concerned. Give it a try. The worst that can happen is nothing.

[Or he could accidentally blow them both up, Trunks supposes, but saying that wouldn't instill a lot of confidence in Angelo.]

Dragonballs? You mean the balls of a dragon have wish granting properties in your world? That...sounds a little disgusting, but if that is how your world works then so be it.

[He's still having this horrible mental image of dragon's balls being used for wish granting, but tries to get out of his mind.]

I could try using a low level healing spell, that won't cause too much trouble.

No, they're magic stones that summon a dragon that grants wishes when you gather them all. Not...actual dragons' balls. Ew.

[Dat's gross 8|]

That'd work.

[He nods and attempts to summon a low level healing spell, which he does with some succession on Trunks. However, it's rather weak compared to what he usually does.]

Hmm, so I am able to do it. However it's very weak inside of your body.

Probably because my energy is more destructive. I'm great at blowing things up...anything else would take practice. Twisting how I normally use my energy.

Perhaps since you're in my body, magic might come easier to you. You seem to have the potential to learn it as I'm able to do it even being inside your body.
