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.

[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.]

They've happened a couple of times.

[Only if they were preparing to have Goku and his family over and they cancelled. Even so, the fridge leftovers never lasted more than a day.]

Nah...it'd have to be a pretty powerful ki blast, and anyone we know who could manage a blast that strong either wouldn't do it, or is dead.

[Sometimes she's just as proud of her father's strength as he is.]

[He chuckles. How right she is indeed.]

Speaking of which. I'll have you know that there aren't any cars here so you're either going to have to suck it up and fly around or walk everywhere. Your choice.

[He's not going to force it but-] That being said it might behoove you to strengthen your energy a little more. There are dangers that go with living here and I think it would be best if you took a little time to at least put some effort into training.

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

But I've got you to protect me.

[Her faith is almost absolute. The only thing that she can think of that she's scared of that could cause problems was that parasite, and it's dead and gone now.]

I guess it wouldn't hurt to practice flying...I did want to find that barrier and knock on it to yell at the Malnosso.

[That's about the closest she'll come to agreeing to training. Flying is at least fun and doesn't hurt like all the other kinds of training she could be doing.]

[Sometimes, he wishes he hadn't spoiled her so much. But he doesn't like entertaining the idea of his daughter fighting. After all, this wasn't Saiyan society. She shouldn't have to deal with that, not like he did. He already did that to Trunks to a certain extent, even despite his son's slack attitude.]

Yes, I know Bulla. And believe me when I say if anything threatens you or your mother, I won't hesitate to blast it into oblivion. [He's not sure how to say this without freaking her out.]

But I'm also not going to be glued to your side every second of the day. [He sighs though.] I'm afraid going and 'knocking' on the barrier isn't going to do much good. I don't even know where to find those incomprehensible fools. And even if you could find them, they're not going to listen to the whining of a teenage girl.

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

Well, Goku is here, too. If I can't find you, he'd help me.

[Missing the point entirely. Denial is good. She'll just pretend that nothing could possibly hurt her as long as her father is here in Luceti. Still...he hasn't suggested that she train for a long time.]

Maybe you could train me to be better at sensing energy? Then I could find you if I was in trouble.

[misterbrief]

Rely on Kakarot? Heh. You must be joking. He's about as reliable as a rotten staircase.

[He looks over to her, looking a little perturbed on the matter, but he softens up after a few moments.] We'll...start with that then, I suppose.

[He's in this inner turmoil of wanting to force her to learn to fight better, but at the same time...he really doesn't.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

Well, I'd look for you first. But he wouldn't just stand back and be okay with me getting hurt.

[She wouldn't rely on Goku to be punctual about attending a social event without a lot of nagging, but he is a good person, and she honestly can't see him expecting her to deal with a dangerous threat herself.]

If I get better at sensing energy, then I'll know when to stay away from someone.

[Action]

[misterbrief]

Sensing energy isn't just a quick indicator whether or not to stay away from someone. It doesn't tell you who is dangerous and who isn't. Their energy signal, of course, will indicate who it is once you know but unless it's a very strong negative force you aren't going to be able to tell right off the bat. The only thing it's going to help is to find myself or Kakarot if need be. So don't think that just because you can do that means that you're completely safe.

[They are getting very close to where he lives though, they're heading down the path to the front door currently.]

Here's my building. Now promise me you aren't going to whine about how small your bedroom is going to be.

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

[Well, that's a little discouraging. Hopefully it won't be too bad. Everyone here is stuck in the same position, and there's only two Saiyans here. Her dad is calmer than he used to be - she's never seen what he was like before she was born, but she's heard stories.]

...I promise. It's not like there's enough shopping to be done here where that would be a real problem.

[Which sucks, because there goes her favourite hobby.]

Maybe I should learn how to sew.

[Vegeta sighs; he doesn't like to see his little girl sad, but he's also not going to sit there and say he's not happy that he doesn't have to carry any of those shopping bags while they were here. It was embarrassing and well...warriors just don't do things like that. But he does it for her.]

Don't act so dejected, there will be other things you can do, Bulla. I've noticed that some of the residents will open their own shops. Perhaps you can do something similar to occupy your time.

[Maybe that'll cheer her up. He wants to bring up training again but he just caaaaan't do it.]

[Action]

[fashionably_strong]

I suppose if I learned how to sew I could design clothes and help everyone in Luceti become a little more fashionable...

[She's trying to look on the bright side. She really is. Then an idea occurs to her.]

I'll even design some clothing for you. If it can stand all the training you can do, then it's pretty durable and perfect for fighters.

[Congratulations, Vegeta. You've been unofficially volunteered to model for your daughter's new project. Or more like voluntold.]
