Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Takeshi had no idea Shu picked up on everything he said like that. Unless he wanted to get smacked by Yumi every waking moment of his life he'd probably best watch his mouth from now on, for his own sake if nothing else. Disembarking from the shuttle they watched the Beastman wander off and Aito address them, relieved to find they would indeed have time to themselves now. Just as well seeing as they had been put to work immediately after getting up today, they were long overdue for some play time. Blinking as Shu grabbed his arm and dragged him along the older boy let out a laugh, quite amused by his sibling's enthusiasm. "Yeah yeah, we do stuff now! We'll go and have some fun, alright?" First they should go eat, and after that they should grab themselves a nap. Takeshi still planned on playing with Shu as well even if his big plan for the little guy wouldn't happen until Uuonoe. Hopefully he didn't mind waiting a bit then. "What do you want for lunch? I don't know what we've got up on this tanker, but there's gotta be something good. Anything you're craving Shu?"

"Excellent, I'd rather learn everything now while it's fresh in your mind, thank you," Vegeta said as he waved his brother along. Seeing Shu and Takeshi leaving ahead of them he debated asking them as well, opting to after a moment's consideration; even with his state of being becoming disrupted as of late Viral was still more articulate and insightful than those two, he'd prefer an account that really covered a good deal of what went on. Glancing at Viral as he rubbed his head Vegeta frowned disconcertingly, keeping his words to himself for the moment however as he shrugged. "Father is seeing to them, and the doctors will be able to assist him. Unless something unexpected comes up I shouldn't be needed for a while," he pointed out, "At any rate as I said, I'd like to be filled in on what happened down there. I don't doubt once we return to Uuonoe we'll be questioned as to what we were doing, and what we witnessed. I'd like to pre-screen our reports then, I don't much care to give Korian every little detail if it can be helped. We did all of the leg work, I've no love for a man dictating orders behind a desk." If he'd wanted to he could have sent rebels along as well, yet they were still too vested in the war that was on hold. If they couldn't be bothered to put out a little for the cause then Vegeta figured they couldn't handle all the information either, turnabout's fair play.

"You're strong buddy, trust me. And I would really rather not fight you fight you, but if we wanna do that play fight like you said then I'm up for that." Takeshi smirked in amusement as Shu copied him, hearing the "you know" phrase come through a few times. He did it without thinking but it had been pointed out several times, and now hearing his brother he couldn't just ignore it. "You trying to copy your big brother, squirt? I should kick your butt for that," he teased, reaching over and playfully prodding Shu in the side, "And sure bud, if that's what you need. We can take a nap after lunch, then when we wake up we go and see the doc, how's that sound? No rush, but we should go. Then again... Vegeta can probably help too, would you wanna see him instead?" Their friend's old man was supposed to be way smarter than even Vegeta but so far he hadn't seen much. The guy was half asleep most of the time and the other half he was speaking in words way too big for them to grasp, it was hard to get a read on him. Viral seemed the same way too, the Beastman hardly ever looked pleased to see the doctor around. Then again Viral hardly ever looked pleased to begin with.

That was all she could really ask for, to be kept in the loop. Too often things went on that Yumi had no knowledge of and it was frustrating being absolutely clueless about them. While she knew the discussion about his struggles was hardly a pleasant one they needed to have it, she had to make her stance known. Hard as it might be to do sometimes she could never truly hurt one of her friends even if she might have to; Viral's words following that thought left her feeling terribly conflicted. Looking up at her friend's face as he turned to her she felt a pang in her chest, nodding somberly and casting her eyes down. "I'll never let that happen to you either. If hitting you is the only way to help that then I'll do it. But I'm always going to try calming you down first, that's a last resort." As their shuttle docked everyone filed out one at a time, with Yumi bringing up the back as she followed Viral out. Even without seeing his expressions she noticed how he swayed from side to side, only able to guess how he might be feeling. Every assumption she made wasn't a good one, yet she knew overreacting was only going to upset her friend.

Seeing as Aito was taking the initiative to get the Beastmen rounded up Vegeta figured he was done for the moment. Watching as they began to walk off with guidance from some crew he smiled slightly, proud to see their mission was a success. He didn't know how the operation on the ground had gone yet or whether or not there were any unexpected problems, though seeing the scientist bound and gagged being carried along certainly raised questions. So too did the young looking Beastman in one of their arms, something which he couldn't remotely explain; Beastmen aged but only to a particular point, at which the hormones in their bodies ceased to promote development. If this child was a true Beastman then he'd not be a child for long, but if he was a halfbreed like Yumi? Who knows what might happen with him. Come to think of it they weren't even sure what was to become of Yumi yet either, some tests would have to be done to check.

"Yet more tests to run, they never end," he muttered in exasperation, rubbing at his head tiredly. He could go and begin those immediately if he wanted, or he could linger and see to something else that required attention. Looking among his peers he noticed Viral wandering off from the others, looking almost dead on his feet as he shambled along. Noticing Yumi's concerned expression watching him hardly did any favors in absolving him of concern, he'd need some attention foremost. "Viral, hang on a second," Vegeta called over, holding up a hand as he approached, "I was hoping you could come with me if you don't mind? I was hoping to get a bit of a report about what went on. Also you seem like you could use a break. Why don't we go grab a meal together and chat?"

I mean all races have religious practices/ties to the Saints. As far as their own personal religion? That's open to interpretation, since no two Ydran tribes are wholly identical. If you want to give some customs to your character to make him unique go ahead, but be sure its reasonable and stays consistent :P

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Yeah, I mean over time they'll improve vastly as Magi. Not only do you need the physical ability and the mental fortitude, but magic in of itself is almost like a muscle. The more you work it the more powerful it becomes, yet you need all three points to really be a good Magi.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

@Rumplestiltskin Ooh, interesting interpretation. I always read them as a little more frail, but that's really only against disease and magical weapons.

@Vena Sera Use a dictionary.

@shylarah

Well their weakness to disease comes from not being around the illnesses as much, to state the obvious :P Ydrans who live in regular society are every bit as healthy as anyone else.

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Wildman isn't wholly wrong really, as a good many are nomadic. They just resemble what we might typically think Elves to look like is all :p

I'll send you a brief summation in a PM, just as to not clutter up the OOC. Now that you mention it though I think I'm going to add in a summary to the OOC later anyways, more concise, so anyone else new coming in has some idea.

That might just work :o I considered just using my shoe too, but I don't want to get it all dirty!

Adelon: Steeling the Faith [Open!]

Greetings! :D Let me see if I can just check off the list here for you:

Glad you're interested in the Ydra, and for the record they are totally NOT elves, regardless of what anyone says! >.>

And nope. Though if you want some idea of the current situation let me know, I can give you a quick overview with some bigger plot points just to get you up to speed without hours of reading.

I cannot say I'm accustomed to getting a resume for applicants, but it all looks good to me! :) We're under "Advanced" but we're generally fairly lax about length and all that. Mostly to keep the one-liners away. The rolled up newspaper only does so much!

"You resting would take a load of my mind, yes," Yumi said with a relieved sigh, smiling before placing her hand on her chest, "But please Viral, if there's more than just that bothering you, you'll tell me right? You've finally gotten better and I want you to stay that way, don't think you have to suffer silently. That's why you have your friends here, so we can help." He had to accept that, whether he liked it or not all of them were here to stay. Even Vegeta who he swore disowned him was invested in his well-being, the way he showed it just wasn't like how the rest of them did. "If it ever did get that bad, if I thought you were going to hurt us, I'd defend myself. I didn't this time because I was confident that you were still there, even if you had trouble with it," Yumi muttered, glancing at her hands and rubbing them together nervously, "I don't ever want to have to fight you, or any other of our friends. What we're going through with all this fighting is hard enough without having to hurt someone you care about, don't you agree? I want to avoid that if at all possible."

Shu might not be saying anything but one only had to glance at him to see how he was pressing himself into the seat. Was flying in the shuttle really this scary for him? On the way down it hadn't seemed bad, but then they had been sitting side by side hadn't they? "Play fight? Well sure buddy, if that's what you want to do. And you're already strong Shu and you know that, you proved it today," the older boy said, smirking over at his sibling, "You kicked a bunch of bad guy's butts and helped free all those people, that's pretty strong, you know?" He wanted to keep the conversation cheerful and happy for Shu's sake, but hearing about his trouble with sleep couldn't be ignored; dismissing the problem used to be how he handled it, but Takeshi was made to face he had to deal with it sooner rather than later. "Well uh... I don't know a lot about dreams or how they work, maybe you should ask Aito about that? And no one on the ship's gonna hurt you buddy," he added, reaching over and patting Shu on the shoulder, "I'm right there with you. Besides, you're so strong it'd be hard for anyone to do anything."

After breaching the atmosphere it was only a few moments to the carrier, and with the landing everyone was allowed out into the hangars. For the group it was another routine stop yet for the Beastmen, save for Eris and the lion, it was a wholly new experience. As some of the ship's crew tried to usher the newest passengers along they stood by idly, looking around the area to try and grasp where they were. It really did seem that some had never left those cells before given their mystified expressions. Judging by the way they wandered aimlessly too Vegeta assumed no one had really gone into detail as to what was happening now. He'd expect that of Takeshi and Shu yet he'd hoped to see a little more initiative on Yumi and Viral's part. Letting out a sigh he rubbed at his neck, ushering out the final few before closing his shuttle back up.

"So these are the Beastmen huh...? Sure is a lot of them," Aito mumbled as he entered the hanger, hands in his pockets as he shuffled along with June at his back. Letting out an audible yawn he stopped before the group, glancing around at everyone before smiling slightly. "Welcome everyone, welcome. Sorry for the..." the doctor paused, yawning and blinking sleepiness from his eyes, "For the confusion, I'm sure you're wondering what's going on about now. We're your friends and we've come to see you all have a chance at life, outside of this planet. From here we'll be returning to a world known as Uuonoe, and what happens after that is up to you. You're the masters of your own fate now." They seemed to have a grasp of language, however basic, as some of them nodded in response and a few even appeared to converse with one another. No doubt quite a lot of work was ahead of them and it would doubtless be some time until every single one of them truly settled in. "My name is Aito, by the way. I'm something of a doctor, so if any of you feel you need attention feel free to come see me. Otherwise welcome aboard!"

Was it jealousy that was keeping her at Viral's side? That didn't seem right and yet Yumi couldn't find any alternative to her own behavior. Maybe it was just her being protective, refusing to let a Beastman who they knew nothing of cozy up to her friend. Maybe this was her way of protecting him, by keeping Eris from getting too close and upsetting her friend. "You seem tired, maybe you should rest when we get back? I'm sure we can handle helping these people if you want to," she offered, furrowing her brow when Viral turned the conversation on her. Biting her lip in thought she placed both hands in her lap, thinking about it for a moment before shrugging her shoulders. "You could have sure. And I could die in any fight we have, on any planet, you never know," Yumi thought aloud, looking back at Viral and smiling again, "But I don't think about it like that. I was scared for a moment there sure, but I knew you'd come around, you always do. Now I know I just need to be careful if you get like that, and you'll come back to us in no time."

Once they got moving at a decent pace, and more importantly the ship had been stabilized, Takeshi finally went about lifting them higher into the air. Unlike his acceleration before he made it a good point to take it nice and slow this time, climbing gradually until they were almost breaking the atmosphere. "Food and a nap? Uh... Yeah, we can do that if that's what you want buddy," the older boy replied with a nod, "And maybe after that we can play?" He'd slept perfectly fine last night, what was it that had Shu so uptight? Nervous about today? Whatever it was hopefully it had passed by now and they could relax come bed time. "What's scary about napping anyways?" Takeshi asked after a moment, frowning as he finally processed what Shu had said. Looking to his brother confused he continued, "I mean it's not like we're out in the jungle, you know? No predator's going to try eating you while we're on the ship, you're safe. So what's bothering you?"

Dragon Ball: Legacy (Mogtaki and Vena Sera)

Yumi figured handing off Riley and going with Viral was what he wanted: carrying around the child was annoying her friend so she'd get rid of him for a little while. No sooner had she done so did Viral seem bothered by her tagging along, furrowing her brow in confusion. So did he want her around or not? These mixed messages she was getting were making it awfully difficult to figure out what it was he wanted. While a good portion of the Beastmen went onto Vegeta's shuttle, with Riley and the scientist included, she and Viral went to join the brothers in the other ship. When she noticed Eris tagging along as well she very nearly turned and shoved the woman out of the shuttle, having to stop herself short and instead give the woman a silent glaring at. She waited for Viral to sit before promptly taking the spot beside him, smiling smugly as Eris had to sit across the aisle instead of beside her friend. "How are you feeling by the way? What happened earlier must be taking a toll on you," Yumi asked finally, looking to Viral and placing a hand on his paw, "You're not hurt from that are you?"

Going through the motions of shutting the ship, checking everyone was strapped in, all a bit tedious for Takeshi's liking. Taking off without getting everyone secured though would likely lead to some mishaps, so it was all necessary. Once both shuttles were prepped for launch he ignited the thrusters again and eased the ship back into the air, finding it wobble slightly as he tried to keep it stable. After some fiddling he managed to get it right, easing it forward with the throttle. "Uh... I've flown it maybe... Twice?" the older boy admitted with a sheepish grin, "But I'm getting better! See, we didn't crash now did we? Have a little faith in me buddy, we'll get there." Once clear of the trees he gave the throttle a bit more of a push, picking up speed until they were racing along the planet's surface. Until he saw the blip of their larger ship on the radar he'd keep going as he was, flying straight over the oceans. "I kind of hope we just put these people on Uuonoe, you know? I mean it's a lot of folks that are gonna need help," Takeshi said to Shu, glancing over and smiling slightly, "If we're gonna goof off we can't be watching these people right? Let's have the rebels do it."
