1st shopping trip [Video/Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[The blue haired girl who appears on the video feed is nothing short of irate.]

Bad enough that I get taken away just before I got to go home, but some creep changes my clothes while I'm unconscious and leaves me with this plain thing?!

[She looks disdainfully at the plain white sundress.]

Don't even get me started on surgical modification. Ugh. I want to know who's in charge of this sketchy operation so I can give them a piece of my mind!

[Bulla clenches a petite fist and looks like she wants to smack someone. Then she realizes that anyone else who has a little book device like this probably isn't in a much better situation.]

Sorry...this is just so not what I needed right now, so if anyone is listening and can tell me who I should go yell at, I'd appreciate it.

[Action]

[The teenager is a decidedly unhappy camper. She just wants to be home with her family where she belongs, but instead she's stuck here. She'd really like to slap the pervert who undressed her and took her clothes. Even discovering that she'd be able to get them back doesn't really make up for what's happened. She's tempted to fly in the air to get a better view of the area in the hopes of spotting an escape route...but she'll save that for later. There are priorities that need to be addressed. Namely this bland little sundress she's currently wearing.

She wanders along, exploring and doing her best to remember where she's going. A couple of times, she finds herself lost and begins marking where she's been with a stick on the ground. It helps, and after a while she reaches the town.

Bulla looks irritable right up until she spots a clothing shop with a cute shirt and skirt combination on display amongst other outfits. Her expression visibly brightens and she makes a beeline for the shop.]

[Bulma is currently at the clothing shop herself, getting clothes to change out of the stupid sundress. She guesses she should count her blessings, she could have appeared in the beach or on top of a tree. Then again she would have preferred much more to not appear her at all.]

Bastards. Stupid. How do they dare? Just what the hell goes in those heads of them? They didn't have enough with the first time, no sir, just once in here isn't enough. They got to throw me here again. Enjoy your time here Bulma, with no proper beauty salons, with the technology level of a pumpkin village in the middle of nowhere and not even a single spa in sight.

[She's mumbling and grumbling as she searches through the clothes, picking up a pretty red dress.]

Well, look at you! You are right my style! I suppose they have improved a little the wardrobe options here.

[Keeps searching.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla's attention was at first captured by the pretty red dress, but she's quickly stunned at seeing her mom of all people here. Not only that, but she's noticeably younger. Though her mom's always aged well, the biggest tip off of how far off their timelines are is the length of her mother's hair. Still, that doesn't stop her from approaching. She's still in shock from the circumstances and doesn't consider the consequences.]

Mom?!

[Action]

[capsuleprincess]

[See, it doesn't register that it's her the one being addressed as "mom". First of all because she's not a mother. Second because even if she knows she will be a mother it's going to be a boy, certainly not a girl. So at first Bulma basically just gives Bulla a brief glance before returning to the clothes, mostly due instinct of hearing someone calling even if it's not for her.

Of course, as soon as it registers exactly what she has seen, Bulma turns her head sharply to look at the teenager. She has spent enough hours in front of a mirror to be able to know her own face quite well, and while the kid certainly isn't her, she could very well play decoy for her during her teenager days. A teenager girl who looks similar to her... And was this the one who called for her mother? While looking at Bulma?]

...

[She opens her mouth to talk but no sound comes out of it. Sorry Bulla, your mom's brain has just exploded and all she can do is stare at you and... God, why do you look so much like her. It can't be, she's going to have a kid, a boy. Wait, no, calm down Bulma. There has to be a logical and reasonable explanation for this, she's not a kid anymore, maybe "mom" is the new slang word? Or maybe she's from another world, that could be as well, this is Luceti after all. Or maybe she will go crazy in the future and clone herself, which is a good idea actually because there's never enough genius and beauty in the world for a Bulma to not be needed.]

I think you got the wrong person, sweetie.

[If only her voice didn't sound so shocked and terrified...]

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

[There's a sigh on the other side of the feed.]

They're called the Malnosso, and you're not going to find them. If you do get lucky? I hate to say it, but there's a long line that you're at the end of.

[voice]

[fashionably_strong]

Oh, I'll make sure that those Malnosso creeps hear exactly what I think of them!

[voice]

[redjacketthief]

You and everyone else. They're just not the kind to listen.

[Action] Gunna be outside to avoid running into mom in the same post >.>;

[Vegeta's been taking care of some errands he had in town and decided to take a rest next to the fountain outside of all the shops, leaning heavily against it to take a moment to himself. He hadn't slept all that well this week and the sleep deprivation made his eyes a little blurry here and there, but he was ok at least when he focused even a little bit.

He even swears for a second he sees someone who looks like his daughter enter one of the shops across from him. But he shrugs it off, after taking a closer look and doesn't see anyone of the sort, the figure now inside and Vegeta not really caring to go into a clothing store to find out.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla spots him after she's picked up a few new things and found her clothing from home. She's already changed back into her red shirt and skirt combination.

She's not even bothering with how absurd it is to be here. If her dad's here, that means she's going to be okay and he'll be able to find a way out of here. She has absolute faith that being here is only a minor setback that he needs time to figure out.

Though she generally doesn't bother with running (ugh, sweat), Bulla bursts into a run full tilt at him.]

Dad! You're here!

[Action]

[misterbrief]

[He looks up, in complete shock- that voice, he knew that voice, there's no way she was here, he really did see her! It wasn't his old eyesight after all, it was Bulla in the very flesh! He gasps and takes off of the fountain, running to meet her, not a single bit of surprise, worry, happiness, or anything hidden from his daughter right now.]

Bulla! What are you doing here?

[video]

[not_a_troll]

Yell at the Malnosso. I cannot assure you that they'd listen, but it is worth a try.

[video]

[fashionably_strong]

Is that their thing? Kidnapping all sorts of random people and changing their clothes while they're unconscious? Because it's seriously creepy.

[ video ]

[universal_charm]

Trust me, if we knew how to contact them, I would let you and all your righteous fury loose on them. I would pay to see that, actually.

[ video ]

[fashionably_strong]

[Oh hey, cute guy. Bulla's still unhappy about all of this, but she'll calm down a little more.]

I will totally slap them right in their faces with all my righteous fury. This is so rude, and it's horrible that they've done this to so many people!

[Video]

[windandrain]

[Well, finally back to normal...or whatever passes for normal for Saori, she decides to start answering some of the New Feathers questions.]

I understand your troubles. I hate those dresses too. The wings are worse, but being stuck in something like that...it's awful.

Where are you, young lady? I'll try and bring you something with more color, if you wish.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

I saw that there was a town pretty close by, so I'm just walking there right now. I'd really appreciate it if you could loan me something nicer than this.

Action; Outside the clothng store

[hero_of_smiles]

[So, that beeline to the store? Yeah, as Cross is walking by the teenager almost finds himself run over by the blue haired streak that's going towards the door of the shop.]

Whoa, hey! Where's the fire!?

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla pauses briefly.]

Sorry about that! I'm just trying to find better clothes to change into.

[Video]

[cuteisawayoflife]

I know! I got here a long time ago but I still can't get over how creepy that is! They stole my cute clothes and put some skimpy nightgown on me!

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[Someone who appreciates her pain!]

It's just way out of line! They could have at least left my cute clothes on instead of this ugly little sundress. There would have been room to put wings on if that's really their thing.

[Voice] Execute me for lateness

[savedtheworld]

I'm sorry. I don't think there's anyone in specific you can yell out around here. Well, sometimes they do talk to us on the journals.

...Maybe instead you can just yell at the barrier?

[Voice] Well, that's a little dramatic

[fashionably_strong]

Barrier? Where's the barrier?

[Video]

[4starsavior]

Oh, hey Bulma! [It's a fairly easy mistake to make on his part, given that they look almost identical and he last saw Bulla when she was about three or four years old. He just assumes that the Malnosso brought her here from an earlier point in time - wouldn't be the first time that happened.] All of your stuff's probably in town, and if you're gonna blame anyone, you can blame the Malnosso! You've probably heard about 'em already, but they brought us here.

((OoC: Sorry I'm so late!))

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

(ooc: No worries! Is it okay to assume she's already had the chance to talk to her parents and that he's replying about an hour or so after her message?)

[...well, the sheer fact that he's still an adult (or as close to adulthood as Goku gets) means they're not on the exact same timeline, but the fact that he mistakes her for her mother is even more telling. Still, she's glad to see him. Even if this is going to make for one somewhat awkward conversation if she hasn't been born yet.]

Hi Goku. I'm glad to see you, but...I'm actually not Bulma. We're related, though.

video; joining the late train

[breezing]

Be careful with your wings! They're your life, here.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Wha? Your life? How does that even work?

[You lost her, little girl.]
