001 ;; Almost weirder than the dragon. ALMOST ;; Video/Action

[ For those out and about this morning, there is a girl flying above the city. She seems to be looking intently for something, as she will occasionally return to the ground to look around and peer at people, buildings, alleyways...before taking flight again. In all actuality, she isn't looking for anything specific--She's just hoping to stumble upon anybody familiar, or anything that might indicate a way out.

After a while and long-since dry, she returns to the plaza, actually looking at the welcome brochure and SFC.

Well...here goes nothing. ]

Vatheon, huh? Can't really say I'm all that happy to be here--you know, important things going on back home and all.

[ There's a thoughtful pause. ]

But I've got to know: Am I really the only one from my world to get dragged here? Because that doesn't really strike me as being normal. Not when you were with a bunch of other people before waking up here--[ A sigh ]--Not that I even know what normal is anymore, with how today's been going.

[ She should have known that things would go down hill when she saw a giant, magic dragon get summoned by a bunch of balls. Seriously. ]

Anyway, if anyone see's a guy by the name of Goku, would you let me know? ...Something tells me he'd know what to do in this situation.

[It's been an interesting week, and really, Trunks was just glad it was over. And intended to avoid Angelo for a good while after this, having most definitely had his fill of the guy.

Just in time for the monthly influx of new arrivals, everyone was back in their own bodies where they belonged. And this message had definitely caught his attention. It's not a face he recognizes, but the name she mentioned--that he knows.]

If you're talking about the Goku I think you are, at least you're not the only one. He's not here though.

[ She spends a good few moments staring at the familiar face. He looked just like Trunks. Older, sure, but the similarities were undeniable. It was kind of eerie in a way, and she can't help but wonder just who he is.

A relative of Trunks', perhaps?

At least, she finds herself hoping he's a relative. She's not sure she'd know how to process a sudden age difference, on top of everything else. ]

Unless there's more than one Goku out there, then we're probably thinking about the same guy.

[Well this feels weird.]

Most likely. I'm Trunks, I can't remember meeting you before, sorry. Do you have any questions I might be able to answer? I've been around a while.

[Well if she didn't have any before, she sure as hell does now.]

[ Yep. This is definitely a look of I cannot handle. ]

I'm...Videl.

[ Give her a moment here to collect her thoughts. ]

But Trunks, why are you old. [ Nope nope cannot deal. Too much weirdness for one day. ]

[...He just turns on the feed without saying anything for a few minutes. He'd heard his father's name and that prompted him to act, but... it takes a moment for him to gather his thoughts.]

I-- I wonder if you mean my father? He isn't here, but I'll answer what I can for you, if it's possible.

[It doesn't occur to him to wonder how she might know Goku; he's traveled around so much. But it'd be nice to talk to someone who knew him.*

* Who is not the lovable but pushy Bulma, or Vegeta, who is... well, Vegeta.]

Edited 2012-09-24 20:54 (UTC)

[ There's only shock when she sees him, hears his voice, and the SFC drops from her hands the moment the realization hits. She had refused to believe what Goku had said just moment before her arrival in Vatheon. For there was no way Gohan would be defeated so easily...Yet believing that, and actually knowing, for a fact, that Gohan was alive and well here...it was enough to bring tears of relief to her eyes.

She doesn't notice the differences between him and the Gohan she knows, not at first, her mind still reeling from the fact that he was there. ]

Go...han? That's really you, isn't it?

[ She has to be sure. ]

Edited 2012-09-24 22:48 (UTC)

[Ah. We are talking about the same person.

No idea who the young woman is, but he... honestly, he just goes with the flow at this point. Trunks travels time and beats up androids without breaking a sweat. A stranger knowing his name really is nothing in comparison.]

Yeah. Sorry, but you have me-- I mean, you know more about me than I know about you.

[ You know more about me than I know about you--The words surprise her. How could he not know who she is, after everything? She frowns, her brow furrowed and the tears still in her eyes as she peers down at the video...

And she finally notices the differences, even though she doesn't want to. His hair was shorter, and he had a harder look about him than the Gohan she knows--Yet she doesn't want to believe it, the possibility that he's not who she thinks he is.

After all, it was illogical...wasn't it? ]

Gohan you idiot, what are you talking about? How could you not...[ She scowls and shakes her head, more than ready for this day to just be over and done. ]

[While Videl is exploring, she might come across someone familiar, or someone that looks like someone she met, who knows. 17 is just hanging around on the ground.]

[ She stops when she spots him, looking at him curiously. She didn't know him, and yet he looked vaguely familiar. ]

Do I know you?

Hm? [Well obviously he doesn't recognize her, least nothing in his data. The cyborg shrugs carelessly.]

I don't know, you tell me.

Well, if you don't know me then I guess not. [ She also shrugs. ] You just look a little familiar, that's all.

[Oh her way to the clinic, she sees a young woman flying and then landing near her. That is very strange, because she seems human enough. Then again, Grell could pass off as a human if he wanted to, so...]

Miss, excuse me. Were you just flying or should I have another cup of coffee this morning?

[ She turns to the woman addressing her, and nods, looking a little sheepish. She should probably try to not weird people out, WHOOPS. ]

No, I was really flying. I guess I forgot that most people can't do that, haha...

[Well, that is indeed surprising.]

That is indeed surprising, Miss. I did not know there were people who could fly. [Again, assuming she's human.]

[ She laughs a bit. ]

You know, to be honest, I didn't know people could fly until recently.

They only take one person at a time. I arrived here without those I was traveling with as well.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I mean, I did wake up by myself. [ It was still disappointing, though. ] I figured I would make sure, though, just in case.

It's alright. When I first arrived, I found that one of my companions had already been here for some time. It's possible that someone from your world is already here as well, and just hasn't found you yet.

Well that's reassuring, I guess. I'll just have to keep my eye out...

[ She pauses briefly, answering a few of the other people who contacted her. ]

Hey. You wouldn't happen to know if it's normal for people to change when the get here, would you? A few people I know from home found me but they aren't exactly...[ How to put this... ] how I remember them.

[On the screen Videl may see a guy who looks like Trunks, except for a few different traits. For one, his hair is longer and silver. Secondary, he has a accent of what would be British origins.]

No one is ever happy to be dragged here, but we deal with it.

True enough.

[ She frowns down at him. Because really, this is starting to get ridiculous. Pretty soon here she is just going to give up. All of these look-alikes good lord. ]

Who are you, anyway? [ A pause. ] And if you tell me you're another Trunks...

[He's smiling at her, oh another one huh?]

No, the name's Angelo. You could say I'm related to Trunks in a way.

[ She raises an eyebrow. ] Related, huh?

[ She didn't see you around Capsule Corp when she was there, bro. ]
