2nd shopping trip [Video, filtered from Vegeta]

[fashionably_strong]

Hey everyone! I've already got Mother's Day covered for celebrating with my mom, but things are a little trickier with my dad. I've been thinking about it and the thing that would make him the happiest would be if I spent the whole day training with him. He's a super strong martial artist and it's his favourite thing to do.

[Which will be a real labour of love. There's no way she'd willingly subject herself to anything close to what her father would consider a good amount of training on a regular basis.]

I've already been getting some training, but I've never gone all out and trained for a whole day straight.

[It's never appealed to her before. Not even remotely. Regular exercise is one thing, and dancing is fun. 8+ consecutive hours of intense training is something she'll need to work herself up to if she's going to be able to move the next day.]

So...I was hoping to find people that would be willing to spar with me. I want to get strong enough to protect little kids that get drafted and I want to make my dad's Father's Day really special. I'm pretty durable and I can fly, so you don't need to worry about me being too fragile to handle it.

[She smiles and waves.]

Thanks a bunch in advance. In return, I'll give makeovers and fashion advice to anyone who wants it.

Vegeta?! Yeah! He and I are friends! [ ....Yes. She really just said she was friends with your daddy. ] We bond over being some of the only sane people in this place. [ HAHAHA...Vegeta is sane. Yeah. Sad definition of sanity. ]

I'd be happy to teach you things involving weapons!

[fashionably_strong]

Hmm...well, it might be kind of cool knowing how to use a sword...or there was an archery club at my high school back home. I'd like to learn how to shoot a bow, too.

[Maybe the school's gym coaches would stop harassing her about joining sports teams if she picked at least one sport and archery wouldn't involve her getting grass stains all over her cute outfits.]

[weaponry]

We can pursue both until you find a talent you're more comfortable with, then we can focus on that.

[ Oh boy... if she turns out to be Ino extreme.0 Tenten will not be pleased. ]

[fashionably_strong]

All right. I'll try out any weapon you'd like to recommend, too. I mean, maybe I'll be good at something I'd never expect.

[She's a fashionista with superhuman strength and durability who has no idea that she's anything more than athletic. Be afraid. Be very afraid.]

[weaponry]

You might make an excellent staffwoman, or even a great sickle girl! Who knows! We'll learn together though!

[ ....Yeah. Tenten is definitely sensing the fact that she's a crack baby of Ino and Sakura. dear lord what she gotten into. ]

[fashionably_strong]

What kind of weapon would you recommend for someone who can fly?

[She's getting the idea that it's not as common an ability here as it is in her world, where at least half of the people she knows can do it.]

[weaponry]

Something light and ranged. Arrows, sickles and chains - with possible weights, and a scimitar if you want a light, flexible blade in your hand.

[ She knows how to use weapons in mid air. She's just ~that skilled~. ]

[fashionably_strong]

Wow, and you know how to use all of those? I'm impressed. No wonder Dad is friends with you.

[weaponry]

He's actually friends with me because I thought his hairstyle wasn't strange, but yeah, I know how to use all of those.

[fashionably_strong]

[That gets Bulla to chuckle a little.]

Oh yeah, I remember hearing something about my dad's hair woes. I have to wonder if people were just teasing him to get a reaction out of him or something. I mean, nobody's ever given me grief about mine.

[weaponry]

I don't know. Green's a perfectly normal, if rare, hair color where I'm from. [ Naruto has weirder eyes than anything else but Sakura has that pink mullet and people made fun of her forehead instead so.... ] One of my friend's has pink hair and no one has ever said anything about it.

[fashionably_strong]

Green?

[Bulla blinks and lifts a few strands of her hair.]

Huh...must be the lighting in the room or the book's video camera. It's more of a bluish turquoise. You'll see when I meet you for training.

[weaponry]

It's probably just the lighting, or, Konoha's color and my teammate's most frequently worn and referred to color is green, so they just kinda blur together in my mind. [ Regardless, Tenten is very interested in the shade of her hair! It's a very pretty shade! ]

[fashionably_strong]

So you're kind of focused on the colour by accident, huh? How long have you had this hue fixation?

[She grins playfully at that.]

[weaponry]

Oh, shut up! [ huffpuff. Tenten will refuse to answer this question directly. ] When you hear nothing but Konoha's very own green beasts, and see nothing but skintight green jumpsuits for your whole life and live your life in a city surrounded by a forest, everything just starts to look green.

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla tries not to laugh. She really does. But she can't quite help the giggle that escapes.]

Oh wow, talk about a green overdose. Well, I know what colour to not include in your thank you makeover.

[weaponry]

What thank you makeover?! I don't need a makeover! I'm just fine the way I am! [ Tenten will not accept a makeover ever. These twinbuns are sacred to her. ]

[fashionably_strong]

Oh, the makeovers were what I was offering in exchange for people helping me train. Or I can help you pick out an outfit for a special occasion if you'd like?

[weaponry]

I guess I'd like that. I'm not interested in a makeover, but I do want to help people get stronger. It's a necessary skill here. [ She pauses. ] You never know when you're going to be drafted or put in a dangerous situation here.

[fashionably_strong]

Yeah...and I'd like to be able to protect people who get drafted and can't fight at all. Like little kids.

[She still finds it horrifying that anyone can be drafted.]

[weaponry]

That's a pretty noble goal! I did that once, on some moon. A little girl wanted to go out collecting moon rocks and she was kinda adamant about it. So I made her focus exclusively on the ground as I tossed explosives, swords, and knives from above. Whenever someone approached me for close range combat, I made her play admire her current moon rock, where she just described what it looked like as long as humanly possible. [ Tenten is kinda weird. And her child rearing skills are not the best. Still, they were adequate. ]

[fashionably_strong]

Moon rocks? You mean the missions here take you all the way to moons?

[She blinks.]

I was thinking I'd mostly just fly kids out of harm's way and stuff. But it would be good to get better at fighting so that if I had to fight, I'd be able to.

[weaponry]

Well, the drafts do. I recall one being fought in a mine shaft, and another one in the deepest layer of the ocean, I think.


Your dad is Vegeta. I'm sure talent runs in the family. You'll get the hang of fighting in no time. I'm sure by the first day of our training, you'll be able to take on whatever will come your way. Just remember, always aim for the wings! They're the instant killers, after all.

[fashionably_strong]

I'll try not to let you down.

[Even if she thinks she'll probably wind up doing so. She's not exactly anywhere near her dad's level.]

...I'm not really looking to kill anyone. I just want to knock them out.

[weaponry]

Oh, in that case, we can make you skilled at knocking people out too. I'll teach you some of the places I am for when I just want to knock someone out cold for questioning later. [ Wait until she learns about her strength. Then it's going to be like, "honey there's no way you aren't killing a man with this" ]
