First Meal: Two Saiyans just out for a stroll...

[The video that pops up shows a pair of pair of men, both heavily muscled and with ridiculous hair. The taller of the two is dressed in an orange martial arts uniform, while the shorter is cutting a bold image in blue-green leather pants and sleevless leather jacket, with a red undershirt. And neither of them appear to be anywhere near the ground, the ship clearly visible underneath them, a faint thrumming of energy audible through the network. The taller was looking around in confusion and interest, while his partner seems a bit more disdainful and irritated at their predicament. Obviously, they're newcomers to Verdana, if the dialogue is any indication.]

Hey, look...I can see a whole city down there, but this entire planet just feels weird somehow. What do you think, Vegeta? Can you feel it too? And look! [He points towards what could presumably be the remains of the Hyperion Dome in the distance]

Well, Kakarot, it's good to see that you're still ever the observant one around here. [He'd seen the city as soon as they'd gotten into the air. It was hard to miss. Turning, his eyes follow the direction of Goku's hand, eyebrows furrowing at the sight.] What is that?

I dunno, Vegeta. Looks like...maybe some kinda ruin, but I don't like the look of it one bit. Or the feel of the place, either. It feels...dead... [He wrinkles his nose up] Man, where the hell are we anyway? Weird cities and that ruin...

Well, why don't we just toss you right in and find out? Sounds like a perfect plan to me, wouldn't you say? [His eyes roll, not surprised by the reaction from his dim-witted friend.] How am I supposed to know where we are or how we got here? If anything, you screwed something up yet again and landed us here!

Uh...[Goku turns to regard Vegeta with a look of annoyance, and as he's about to say something stunningly witty like 'nuh-uh, it's all your fault' he sees something else] Y'know, that scouter you found? It's blinking, like they do when they're broadcasting.

What do you mean it's blinking? Blinking where? They don't blink you idiot, information is displayed on the glass when you activate it. Watch. [He presses the button, turning the video off, and after a few moments, flips it on again unknowingly, confused as to why the functions of the scouter aren't working the way he remembered them.] What's wrong with this blasted thing? It's broken, great, just like your brain. Argh, it doesn't matter, we don't need to use them anyhow.

Yeah, well, it's blinking. So...guess we should say hi to whoever's watching? [Goku waves at the camera, and then approximates a traditional Japanese bow, which hopefully makes whoever's watching see him as polite. Because if he wasn't, he's pretty sure he'd get yelled at by somebody...] eh-eheheheh, Hey there. Could you please tell us where we are?

Shut up, no one's going to hear you. It's a scouter, not a camera. Besides, you don't even know who's on this planet anyway! They might be a bunch of blood-sucking savages that know nothing else but the flesh of other beings! How would you like to be the next meal on the menu? [Not that Vegeta thinks anything is capable of cooking them up for dinner, but he's just trying to make a point.] Go ahead, announce to everyone that we're here! That's a great idea!

[Goku rolls his eyes now and shakes his head.] Well, let's just wait and see then.

Fine. Have it your way.

(ooc: This is a joint intro for both Goku and Vegeta, responses are likely to come from both and threadjacks/actions are welcome too. Blue text is Vegeta, Orange is Goku)

[It's not often he feels this groggy after waking up, but when Vegeta's hand finds the glass of his pod, everything snaps into focus in front of him as his eyes go wide.

Oh, what the hell is this.

He pushes the door off, stepping out onto the cold metal, completely naked. The ship was giving him unwanted chills. Has he been here before? He can't shake that feeling, as he gets a good look around.]

[Goku's eyes open slowly himself, and he looks around him in curious confusion for a moment. Blinking he shoves his arms forward and finds a latch and flips it, falling gracelessly out of the pod.]

Damn! What the...how in the...

Huh?

[Turning, he sees his counterpart fall right out of the pod next to him.] Kakarot! What are you doing you clown? Ah-! You're...you're...!

[YOU'RE NOT A KID, BUT HE CAN'T SPIT IT OUT]

[Goku coughs a couple times and gets up, looking at Vegeta with a raised eyebrow. He looks older somehow, and with different hair...]

Uh...hey Vegeta. Where are we? How'd we get in those pods? And...uh...have you seen Uub?

[Excuse him. He's still a little shocked, but he'll get over it in a second.]

Why don't you explain to me how you got your old body back!? The last I saw that little runt was a few hours ago, flying home. What did you do Kakarot? [Because it's clearly Goku's fault...?]

H-huh? Did I lose my body? Is...there something wrong with me?

[Cue Goku-Panic! He sorta looks worried and looks around, catching sight of his reflection in the gleaming panel of his pod.]

No...it's just me. Um...I don't know what you're talking about but come to think of it you look older than when Uub and I left Earth to train...

You didn't leave with Uub, you left with Shenron. Don't you remember anything? And be quiet, there's nothing old about me, got it?! [Just like his awful haircut...?]

Uh...why the heck would I go anywhere with the Eternal Dragon...?

[Should he remember? Chinscratch....]

Vegeta, is this another one of those weird time travel things again? You don't feel the same as the last time I saw you.

Edited 2013-09-05 15:20 (UTC)

Argh, no you moron. You really don't remember anything at all? The Black Star Dragonballs, or the dark dragons that we defeated just hours ago?! What's the last thing you recall, fool?

[HE CAN'T BE THIS STUPID...]

I was leaving Earth, to go train Uub? I thought I just said that...

[Calm down...sheesh]

[He takes a moment to contemplate that. That was a long time ago.]

Well, then it seems that this is one of those 'weird time travel things' after all. [He's made sure to use his best mocking voice for those last few words. But he grows serious, more serious than usual for this next part.]

Listen, because I'm only going to say this once. It seems you're here from a point in my past, or me from your future, however you want to look at it. In my time, you were transformed into your child body. It's been years since the last time I saw you as an adult. Now. Before I go on, I'm going to find my clothes, thank you very much. [He doesn't want to get into this naked, after all.]

Uh...okay.

[Goku blinked and scratched his chin, but shrugged and sat down hard on the box next to him. It clicked and rattled and he peered down at it, and saw his name on it]

Huh, well, maybe this is mine?

[Opening the foot locker, he found his gi and a few other things inside, so he dressed quickly and waited for his much older partner.]

[He finds his own locker, but stumbles to the side a bit as his head starts to spin. He's got to stop for a moment until he felt ok enough to bend down, opening it and retrieving his own leather pants and jacket inside.] How thoughtful, all in one spot. [He sneers, getting dressed.]

Okay Kakarot, I suppose I owe you more of an explanation. It seems to me that I'm from about ten years in the future. That explains why I probably feel and look a little different to you. And guess what else? [Cue a sly grin, because now he finally gets to brag a little!] There's a form past Super Saiyan Three. Yes, you heard me right.

And I just happen to have been able to experience it.

[Goku listens quietly, nodding along right up until that last line. His jaw drops and he looks really intense.]

What?! REALLY?! Seriously?! You gotta show me!

No can do, Kakarot. I'll either need my tail or get a Blutz Wave Generator built in order to do that. So you're just going to have to wait. [Normally he'd be kinda aggravated, but he's content believing that he might actually be stronger than this version of his friend. Not that it mattered, because it was a Kakarot of the past, but he'll take this little victory while he can.]

When we manage that I'll be more than happy to show you, and then pound you right into the ground. At least now I don't have to fight you as a small child. That was just humiliating. You lost to a crying child at the World Martial Arts Tournament, I couldn't believe it.

Aw...that bites.

[Goku blinks at the new information though. And totally ignores the insults. You're a JERK Vegeta.]

Wait, so you say I was turned back into a kid? So...does that mean I got my tail back and everything? Can I take this new form too?

[Yes, yes he is a jerk. But at least he's not trying to kill Goku anymore.]

You were reduced back into your child self, but that old bumbling idiot of a Kai regrew your tail for you. So yes, your future self will be able to. But that requires transforming into the Golden Great Ape, and if you recall you don't exactly have the training to be self-aware when you take that form. And your granddaughter isn't here to help you remember. [And he doesn't want to deal with a Golden Great Ape Kakarot. That's just going to spell out problems.]

Yeah...well...that's okay. I guess I can just wait till I catch up to try that out. If we ever find out how we got here in the first place.

[Totally no big deal.]

Man, I've never seen anything quite like this. Looks like something out of a movie or something.

[Glare glare.] What it looks like is a cargo area, and the cargo was us. Look at all the pods, I can't even begin to count them all!

Yeah...geez there sure are a lot of them.

[He walks over to one and taps on the glass.]

Hello? Can you hear me in there? [No answer Huh. It looks like they're asleep. You ever seen anything like this?

I have. Tuffle technology. They were capable of such things, but not in mass quite like this. But if we're sitting inside a Tuffle ship, we might have more problems on our hands. The last disgusting one I encountered proved to be much more of a problem than I'd bargained for.

[If this is Tuffle shit that will just piss him off and he will blow the ship the fuck up. Because fuck Baby so fucking much, that shit didn't happen too long ago either fuck fuck fuck]

We'd best get out of here, and figure out exactly what's going on before any of the rest of those pods open. What I want to know is how they got a hold of us. I'd like to think we don't exactly go quietly when abducted.

Tuffles, huh.

[Weren't those the people from Planet Vegeta? Goku does remember King Kai's story...]

Getting out of here sounds like a good idea. Maybe those blinking lights will show us the way out? Maybe there are some people outside or something. It doesn't feel like we're in space or anything.

It's a good enough start as anywhere else. But I'd like to come back and explore the rest of this ship. Come on.

[And without waiting, he just heads on out. No time for bullshit, not this guy.]

Hey, wait a second.

[Goku had just noticed something in the bottom of the footlocker.]

Doesn't this look like a Scouter to you, Vegeta? That's kinda cool!

What's that? [He turns, peering at the object in his companion's hands. It was indeed a scouter, and that makes Vegeta return to his own footlocker and take out his own.] Hmmm. There aren't going to do us much good, but it can't hurt if we're on an unknown planet. [So, he sticks his on his ear.]

I'll show you how to use it later. Now can we go? I'm starting to feel sick and dizzy in here. [Fresh air, plz.]

[Goku does the same.]

Yeah, I know what you mean. This place just feels off. It's creepy somehow. Not like it's evil, it's just...not normal.

[He makes towards the exit, heading towards the corridors out.]

Yes, it is. [He'll have to agree. It really feels off and he doesn't like it.]

[He also heads out, following Goku and very much looking forward to when he'll not feel completely nauseous. Hopefully outside does that for him...]

[The blinky lights lead them on, Goku peering around corners curiously until they finally reach the exit and look out onto Verdana's landscape.]

Whoa! It's so...grey.

What kind of place is this? [He has never, ever seen this planet before. Granted, he hasn't been on every planet in the universe, but he's been to quite a bit of them. But hey, being outside instantly makes him feel better.]

Let's get a better view! [BAM. Up in the air he goes.]

I dunno...

[Goku scratches his chin as he floats up into the air and spots the city off in the distance.]

Gosh. That's a small looking city. Looks pretty beat up, too.

Yes, it barely looks inhabitable. Let me see if this scouter picks up anything I'm not sensing from there. [He'll start fiddling with his scouter, turning it on.]

Yeah, I know...

[and then the post happens?]

[If he were there in person the argument would be only the very mildest bit amusing, and mostly annoying, but something about the chance to watch through the communicator makes it much funnier.]

We had rather few blood-sucking savages last I looked, but I suppose that might have changed.

[The boy is a skinny, rather ordinary-looking teenager sitting at a kitchen table with his chin in his hand, smirking obnoxiously.]

[Goku blinks at the little video but at the same time...]

Hey, that's pretty cool! Check it out Vegeta.

[He coughs and addresses the kid]

So no blood-sucking weirdos, huh? Well I guess that's a relief. But...uh...where are we?

What? And just who are you, boy? [Oh good, it's a kid. That's TOTALLY what he needed today.]

[He's alright with rudeness, but not when it isn't to a purpose. And he can deal with being a hypocrite on that point.]

Well, I could tell you who I am but it wouldn't mean anything in particular, so I'm going to answer the reasonable question. You're on a world called Verdana where people from many, many other worlds are pulled due to some very convoluted circumstances I don't understand very well.

Verdana, huh? Never heard of it, but that sounds like something really...crappy. Does everyone wake up in one of those weird pods?

[He keeps scratching his chin, ignoring Vegeta's grumpiness. And a thought occurs to him while he's mulling over the idea of being pulled into another world. That's pretty weird, but there's no reason he can't be nice to the kid.]

Oh...right. I'm Goku. And this guy here is Vegeta. And just between us, he's always like this.

[He glares at Goku. Excuse you.]

Do not speak as if I'm not here. Anyway, I've never heard of this Verdana. I'd like to know what quadrant of the universe this world is in, and if any remaining forces of Frieza's is lurking around this trash heap of a planet. [That's totally still a thing. After all, Abo and Cado lasted long after Frieza's demise...]

[But he'll still glare at Loki. He hasn't answered Vegeta's question, and that is rude, even if he actually doesn't care what his name is or that Vegeta is equally as rude.]

If I knew that I'd have arranged some way to get myself home long ago.

[He'll just go ahead and assert that, since there's no way anyone can check if it's true. It's technically possible that knowing where he is in relation to where he ought to be would help, but he'd not at all sure.]

But yes, the pods are standard if not quite universal, and we seem to be stuck for the duration. And I'm Loki.

[Since he doubts these two are friends of his brother's and therefore likely to hunt him down with stupid weapons just for admitting it.]

Yeah...I guess you're right. And it's nice to meet you Loki.

[Yep, Goku's not about to go tearing off after Loki to beat him up for being Loki. He doesn't know much about mythology, after all.]

Man, it's so weird. I can't feel anything off this rock, no familiar ki presences at all. How about you Vegeta?

No, I can't sense a darn thing outside of this planet at all. Well, Loki. Perhaps you could make yourself useful and tell us where we can find some shelter, and preferably not some dump crawling with insects.

[He's roughed it before but he doesn't wanna cuz he's the fucking prince gdi]
