He's a firebender. I explained some things about this place when he first arrived in Luceti. He's nice and he comes from an entire nation of firebenders, so.
[She shrugs, apparently not seeing what the problem would be with her talking to Zuko.]
[Hopefully Bulla has gotten enough beauty sleep, because she's going to be awakened in the morning, before she would wake up on her own, but not obscenely early either. Her room is going to be filled with the scent of a recently cooked breakfast as Bulma slips in the room carrying a tray with it and humming happily. If the scent of food isn't enough to wake her up then a lightly shake from Bulma should do the trick.]
Rise and shine, Bulla. A great day awaits for you.
[Bulla's having a nice dream, as a matter of fact, and the scent of the delicious food permeates into the dream. As it turns out, the restaurant she's gone to with all her family and friends (including the ones she's met in Luceti) to introduce her wonderful new boyfriend serves all day breakfast. When she wakes from being lightly shaken, her eyes blink sleepily as her vision slowly comes into focus and she sees her mom with a tray of food. She rolls herself over onto her back and pushes herself to sit up after a moment.]
[Bulma smiles widely as she places the tray over Bulla's lap, supported by the tray's small legs. It's a breakfast suitable for a half-saiyan with plenty of food even if it doesn't have as much as there would be on a table, after all a tray has limited space even their biggest ones and Bulma had to carry it. Bulla is going to find her favourites on it, everything warm and delicious and clearly having been done with lots of extra care and love.]
Please, I'm not worried in the slightest bit about any legal actions they want to take. [He gives her a hard look, but his eyes soften a little- he won't hurt the boy, as much as he'd like to. He knows she can handle herself.]
You do that then. That will teach him to think twice before he decides to make a fool of himself.
[Bulla's response is to turn up the radio so that she and Wanda can enjoy the song. She even sings along, all the while driving just a little faster than she probably should. It's not enough that she's at any risk of losing control of the car, though. As a cheerleader, she's got very good reflexes.
Finally, parks in a tidy little parking lot in Uptown, where all the upscale boutiques are. Though Bulla may be hoping to be elected Homecoming Queen and has focused a bit on that, she nonetheless wants everyone to have a good homecoming. If she can add a little magic to Wanda's evening by buying her a gorgeous dress? She'll do that. Bulla doesn't fully understand what it's like to live in the lower class - she can't since she's never done so. But while she's been spoiled, she hasn't been spoiled rotten like some aristocrats. She at least has some genuine sympathy for the lower classes, even if she can only imagine what it must be like to not be able to afford nice things.
She makes sure to lead the way into the boutique. She isn't blind to the class divide, and Wanda will get better service if the boutique staff realize right away that Bulla's paying for everything.]
Pick out whatever dress you'd like...although I'd recommend one of those three there, personally.
[She points out three dresses off to the side that she thinks will be flattering with Wanda's build and colouring.]
Uncle Vash, you need to look for better jobs. That's the only paying back I'm going to accept.
[She's pretty adamant about it, too. Loaning him money will only enable him to continue on the way he's going, and there will come a point swhen her father loses patience with him entirely.]
What's going to happen if things work out between you and this lady and you decide to get married? You need to have a better, more secure job, and to do that, you need to dress for success.
We paid them a deposit and they didn't give it back. I have their signatures on a typed contract saying that the money we paid them was a fifty percent advance for them playing the show. Not following through on it and not giving us our money back totally counts as theft and fraud.
[As the only child in a family that doesn't bother with traditional gender roles when it comes to work, Bulla's expected to eventually take over the company after her father retires. She's learned a thing or two about contracts in the process. As well as how to project absolute confidence to intimidate people into giving into what she wants. She doesn't use her confidence to intimidate generally, but the odd time she does, well. It's obvious that she took after her father in some ways, after all.]
Besides. They were going to ditch us for playing a show at the university because they wanted to pick up girls who were old enough to be legal drinking age. They're not exactly geniuses.
I've got a really cute gold hairclip that you can borrow if you'd like to pin your hair up into an updo. Do you have a pearl bracelet? If so, I think you should wear it to match your earrings, since your shawl will match your necklace.
[Well, it looks like Quinn has at least some accessories planned out, so Bulla glances at some of the shoes.]
[Hikaru's apartment is a lesson in "organized chaos."
The little kitchenette is fairly clean, a coffee pot just waiting to be used, but the rest...
The sewing machine and cutting boards take up a large chunk of the living room. Sketches are stuck onto the walls with tacks, groups by season then type of clothing.
Pieces of fabric lay in heaps, still pinned to keep the parts of the pattern to them until construction can start. In one small cabinet is a collection of inks and dyes, in case the fabric isn't the color he wants.
One of the spare bedrooms, which stands open, is full of bolts of fabric, categorized by type of material then sorted by color. He certainly seems to be stockpiling the stuff, even though, as far as he's concerned, he's been very selective and careful to leave variety for others who sew, too.
When there's a knock on his door, he answers it promptly.]
Hey Bulla. [A step back to let her in.] Bring those sketches?
[Bulla's carrying a moderate to large sized purse with her that's holding her sketchbook and a few beauty essentials in case she wants to give her makeup a little touch-up. First, though, she moves to start taking off her coat, and her winter boots so that she won't tread the remnants of the snow that she didn't quite stamp off at the door to the community housing.]
I did.
[She also pulls out a little bag with a muffin for each of them.]
[Once she's finished with Ginia at the battle dome, Adela has to stop by home briefly. Why? Well, to make certain that her clothing is clean and ready for tailoring, of course. She's still wearing her cloak, trousers, and boots, but the tunic and undershirt have been removed in favour of the white sundress she woke up in. An odd outfit, but it will have to do while Bulla is working on her clothes.
So, sometime in the late afternoon, the red head arrives at the clothing store while looking around for the familiar blue-haired teenager, her clothes and paper held under her arm as she holds the cloak tight to her form.]
[Bulla's browsing through the available socks, trying to find something that's suitably warm and fuzzy, not too large to fit her properly, and not horrendously itchy or ugly.]
I'm right over here.
[And then her mouth drops open.]
Did you seriously walk outside in that sundress in these temperatures?
[Though he's in no hurry, the fact that the saiyan's daughter has eluded him for even this long has grown to be a nuisance. Knocking on her bedroom door, he speaks clearly and even sternly through it.]
[Bulla blinks. She can't recall doing anything to make her father angry, so maybe he's got some information about the disappearances. There's been more than what normally happens with Mallynapping...maybe that's it.
[It's been about four to five days in, and even Vegeta is starting to feel the fatigue. Not to mention how much the MSF piss him off, he's been a little on edge from not sleeping since he arrived. The threat of cultist attacks on the front had intensified, and he is nothing but tense. Today has the two saiyans out on a patrol again, looking for signs of movement reported by the MSF, a silent prince sitting in the back of the vehicle as they made their way down the dirt road.
He is absolutely refusing to speak to the head of the whole operation, some officer that tried to tell him how to take care of cultist forces. He sits beside Bulla, keeping an eye out into the forest, but even now his vision is a bit blurry, fighting to stay awake.]
[Why did she ever want to go on a mission again? Sleep deprivation is doing her no favours, and she did manage to get in a few short naps when she just couldn't manage to stay awake any longer. Saiyan genes are the only reason she hasn't collapsed.
But she knows her father hasn't slept once. Which worries her. She's decked out in saiyan armour and has her gauntlets that Adela made her on.]
Hey dad? Why don't you nap for a bit? I'll wake you if I see anything.
