outer_divide | 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.

[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?]
