1st shopping trip [Video/Action]

[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.]

Yeah, well, she'd have be tough to put with him. Do you want me to tell how many time he's death threatened me since we met?

[Bulla laughs at that. It was true - she and her mother were a force to be reckoned with when they tag teamed someone.]

Well, I think once Dad started thinking of the Earth as his home, he stopped taking off so much. Especially once you were married. He's a loyal husband, even though he can be kind of grumpy sometimes. ...he's really harsh on any boys who flirt with me.

[You know, like ripping the steering wheel off of the car the boys were driving in at the time. Although the geezer comment was probably what pushed him over the edge.]

Oh! There's my clothes.

[She grabs her red outfit - a midriff baring shirt, a short skirt, and matching boots and fingerless gloves.]

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.

Was it more than five? I'm sure at least one or two of the times it was just because he was grumpy about being in a strange place. I doubt he meant it.

Of course. I can meet you in the central plaza.

[She peers at the picture to get a sense of the girl's complexion and figure.]

Would you prefer dresses or something less traditional?

I kind of get that, but doesn't it concern you that's his go to threat? I'm going to blow you up and show you the might of the Saiyan race?

No, not really. Unless he looks like he might actually follow through with it, there's nothing to worry about.

I like dresses and skirts, but even a nice pair of jeans and a tank top would be fine.

Then I will have them ready for you. They may be a little big, I think I might be taller than you, but the video isn't clear.

[She starts out the door, eager to be...helpful again after a week trapped in a rather unpleasant mindset.]

I'll have to take your word for it I guess, you being his daughter and all. Heck, maybe with you here that will mellow out some.

_{[ Never mind that Kirk enjoys baiting him, shhh. ]}

[Bulma smiles at that. Really, the only thing that surprises her there is that he came to consider the Earth his home. His loyalty as well, she supposes, given how she assumed before that he wouldn't be the type to flirt simply because he's not interested in humans.]

If he wasn't grumpy something really bad would be about to happen, I'm sure of it. Vegeta not being grumpy is like Son-kun being an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics. And he has the rights to be, you're a pretty girl, he has to keep bad guys away from you.

He probably doesn't want you to end like I did.

[Not that Yamcha was terrible but... No, really, he was terrible. Sure there were good moments but probably she will have those with Vegeta as well. The difference is that with Vegeta it seems that one day the pain will vanish, while with Yamcha it did nothing but grow more and more.

Bulma smiles at the clothes, nodding approvingly.]

Definitively your mother's taste. Why don't you go change while I pick up something else? We may not be home but money is still not an issue so there's no need to worry about that.

Maybe. I am pretty good at persuading him to do stuff. Especially when it comes to taking me shopping!

[Sorry, Vegeta. Your daughter's just outed you as having a softer side than anyone would have guessed.]

Edited 2013-03-17 14:41 (UTC)

Thank you so much! You probably are taller than me, but that's fine. As long as it's something nicer than this dress, I'm good.

Then I'll look for you.

[And off she floats, drifting just over the ground with a nice pair of pants and a simple sweater. Nothing fancy, but not bad. Also shoes, because it's still snowy but no socks. She hordes socks.]

Sometimes he only looks grumpy but he's actually in a pretty good mood.

[Bulla is good at reading this and knowing exactly when is a good time to ask her father for something.]

Sure! I'll be back in a few minutes...I think I'll pick up a couple of other outfits so I'll have something to wear when I'm washing this one.

[The instinct to get all the stylish clothing is there, but if there's anyone she's willing to leave some stylish clothing behind for, it's her mother. Besides, the hope is that they'll get out of here soon. There's no sense in stocking up too much.]

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

[This actually isn't all that odd by Bulla's standards. At least half of the people she knows from home are able to fly using their ki. Bulla's only reaction to the floating is mild surprise.]

Oh, hi. Thanks for bringing something for me to wear.

Then maybe I'll just have to kick down their door and make them.

[She doesn't count herself as being a warrior, but she's confident she could do that much.]

Kidnapping, experiments...yes, that is their thing. I have tried to suggest better hobbies but alas, they refuse to listen to me.

Ah, not only that, dear maiden, if I am correct there are also wings attached to your back.

I'll have to take your word there, I've yet to see a case like that. Unless you mean when he's eating, with the way he does and being a saiyan I want to think that he's actually happy when doing so.

[She's getting a hold of herself, it's clear in the way she manages to pull a dismissive tone to her words. As if it doesn't really matter if he's always grumpy or not. As if it doesn't make her envious of... Herself, envious of her future self who has everything she wants. But it will be hers one day too, in the distant future that is even more distant while trapped in this place.

Bulma smiles and nods. She will leave the Luceti talk for later, she may be composing herself but her hands still shake slightly and part of her still wants nothing more than to drop to the floor and curl over herself. She's not in a good condition to talk about Luceti now or to comfort a kid, her daughter, when telling her exactly what they are going to face from now on. It can wait anyway, and if not, maybe someone else could do the explanations. She would be thankful for it.]

That's a good idea, just because we're now here it doesn't mean you have to dress as a prisoner wearing always the same clothes and washing only once a month. We're delicate girls after all!

[She looks at the clothes, suddenly feeling slightly overwhelmed. How does a mother pick clothes for her daughter? Something stylish, something that will suit the kid. Bulla looks so much like her, it's a good thing really, but what about her character? Does she prefer shoes or sneakers? Bulma is a sneakers girl, always wearing them when she could get away with it, but it doesn't mean her daughter will think the same. Not to mention how she has no idea about the girl's size or her favorite colors among those that suit her. Does she like pants? Dresses? Frills or something less girly? At the moment Bulma is just wondering how mothers do that, how can they know all those things about their children.

Bulma Brief, genius and feeling incapable of memorizing and knowing all the details of her own kids. She ends up picking a few outfits that she considers would suit Bulla, think of it as her picking up clothes for a friend rather than her daughter and feeling horrible for it.]

Yeah, the surgical modification. That's just...ugh. I can't even begin to get into how rude this is. Someone needs to teach them some better fashion sense, too.

_{[He laughed at that.]}

Oh my god, please, please let me catch you making him go shopping with you.

[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!?

[Loki wonders what it is with girls and fashion and appearances and other trivial things.]

Oh please, I don't mind to listen to you rant about their lack of fashion sense. But I do wish to request a witty anecdote about dresses with floral patterns.

Of course.

[She offers over the clothing and lands.]

May I ask your name, young lady?
