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.]

[Her flinching is enough to make Cross try and give her a warning for the future.]
Hey, don't move so quick. They're going to hurt for awhile.

But, yeah. The Malnosso attach them to everybody here.

I could explain it but it might be easier just to show it to you in your journal.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla holds out her journal.]

Okay. Is there a map somewhere in here, too?

[hero_of_smiles]

Yup, here let me show you.

[He'll take her Journal as he appears to flip through the pages. Stopping Here and a page with this map.]

That's a guide if you need; it's done by one of the residents. Should be able to answer most of your questions.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla glances over some of the information.]

...hold on. This says that people can die and come back.

[Which isn't completely out of the realm of possible in her world, but this still sounds much easier.]

How often does this happen, anyway?

[hero_of_smiles]

[He can only feel a little sick at her questioning at that.]

Wouldn't know...never had to see it for myself before and I'm hoping it doesn't happen much.

[fashionably_strong]

I hope not, either. I was just curious since it seems like a pretty easy price to pay if whatever you lose comes back after a while. People have been brought back to life where I come from, but it's rare.

[Don't mind her. She's amazed that it's not necessary to summon a god, or anything of the sort to make this happen.]

[hero_of_smiles]

Wait, you can bring people back to life in your world?

[Forget his sick feeling from before. He looks pretty intrigued.]

[fashionably_strong]

It's happened before, yeah. A god has to grant the wish, so it's still pretty rare.

[hero_of_smiles]

...You've got grant wishing gods in your world...thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat's pretty amazing.

[fashionably_strong]

The gods are dragons...you have to collect seven Dragon Balls to summon the god. My mom actually invented a radar system that tracks the balls - they all emit a small really specific electromagnetic pulse.

[hero_of_smiles]

If only we had those things here. We could wish for everyone to go home. But, sounds like your mom is pretty smart if she can make something that finds magical god objects.

[fashionably_strong]

My mom's a genius, and my dad's a powerful warrior.

[She beams. She's actually pretty proud of her family most of the time.]

[hero_of_smiles]

That's a good combination!

[He's gotta say he's jealous.]

[fashionably_strong]

I look a lot like Mom...although I'm not a genius. Just very fashionable.

[Just wait until you find out who her father is, Cross.]

[hero_of_smiles]

I might need to talk to your mom. I gotta find out what she works on if she's a genius like that.

[Oh, it'll be horrifying in the sense on how Vegeta could produce such a friendly daughter.]

[fashionably_strong]

My mom can build just about anything with the right tools. And she can build some pretty impressive things from scratch, too. She's very resourceful.

[Sometimes it makes Bulla wish she was capable of more, but those kinds of things have never clicked for her.]

[hero_of_smiles]

What kind of stuff has she built?
