genessia | Some Texts [Locked] and Action! (Open unless otherwise stated)

The following Texts would go to Anastasia K. Leonheart, Cassian Andor, K2S0, and Rose Tyler, locked individually.

So, my mother is having a party on June 23rd and 24th. It's going to be on the Nova City Islands, and there will be games and prizes. I wanted to invite you to join us as my guest? If you want to come please meet us at the Nova City Docks at 11am on June 23rd.
--Trunks

[Action: Genessia City]

Trunks has gotten the lay of Nova City pretty well, and a decent start on getting to know and explore Attleton, so time to add Genessia city to his list. He'll be out and about exploring, with particular visits to the Genessia Scientific Research Foundation's lab--mostly to find if they have a head-office, a few shops and parks, and making note of certain locations.

[OOC: Feel free to approach him and hit me up with tags.]

[Action: Genessia Garden Park--Locked to Rose-Tyler]

Trunks hadn't wanted to disrupt Rose's yoga schedule, so he didn't meet her every day to work with her on meditation. But--aside from her recent hermiting because of things--they did try to meet regularly. One such morning finds them in the Garden Park, slightly off (but not too far) off the path by the trees.

[OOC: I figure this is probably like...3rd or 4th lesson for Rose, if that works?]

That's... a lot to take in. I'm almost afraid to ask about this 'room of Space and Time' thing.

[Dante glances at his beer can, looking like he wishes it would magically refill.]

Your mom is an impressive lady. From what little interaction I've had with her, she's one of the few humans I've come across that didn't flinch at ow I do things.

[Then don't, it's probably easier on Dante. Especially if he's already feeling off balance.]

I'd ask how you do things, but given the decor, I can guess. Mom's seen a lot of things in her time, and has been adventuring since she was young. I can't say it probably didn't make her uncomfortable, but she's also very used to covering up any fear with anger and bravado. Which she can also usually back up, too. Even if not in the ways father or I can.

Back home I'm a demon hunter. The decor is very much an intentional thing to deter people who don't have the heart, resources, or information to buy my services. I don't deal with small exorcisms or the like. When there's something on the other side of the wall that wants to invade and kill everyone, that's when I get out of bed.

[Except for when he's trying to pay off Lady and Trish's tab...]

Yeah, that sort of fearlessness isn't really common these days, I kinda figured she'd seen some shit. Takes a strong person to see that sort of shit and not get their spirit broken.

I remember you mentioning something about that, when we texted.

[In terms of Dante's decor and job. Accompanied by another drink of the beer.]

I can see why you'd be a good candidate for a guardian or deputy in that way. I had hoped her timeline was more peaceful, and while it wasn't as bad as mine turned out to be, apparently it did have its own problems.

[Bulma in either timeline was a strong person. Stronger than anyone suspected, and not measured in power-levels.]

What else can I answer?

[Dante just shrugs, and has to wonder to himself how Bulma wound up with Vegeta, but that seems like a tale for another day... and one probably better told by someone other than their son. He knows he'd be awkward if he had to try and think about Eva and Sparda banging...]

I don't want to seem like I'm prying, and you've told me enough. The only thing I can really ask at this point is for a sparring match at some point. I know I promised Goku a round but our schedules haven't really lined up. I'd like to get a feel for what a Saiyan can really do. Doesn't have to be now, of course.

Goku not making time for it? That's a new one.

{Said while laughing, with an easy smile.]

I don't recommend asking Father either, given your first meeting. Although really he'd probably enjoy it, and isn't likely to kill you. I don't think so, anyways.

[That was meant to be reassuring Dante, really. It might not seem like it, and Trunks is aware of that. Having another swig.]

I'm half-saiyan, for what it's worth. Father and Goku are both stronger than I am. Assuming we can find a place that could take it, I wouldn't say no though. Sparring is...fun.

[Actual fighting for your life and others, is something Trunks has done more than enough of. That's not exactly fun, or rather--Trunks lacks the bloodthirstiness that most Saiyans had. But sparring and training, and having someone to do that with? THAT was fun, and rare in Trunks' life.]

It's less he hasn't been available and more I've been busy with the whole... campaign thing. There's been a lot more reading involved than I was planning for.

[He gives a dismissive wave.]

Don't sell yourself short. I'm a halfbreed too, and I'm arguably stronger than my old man. I have a feeling with the right incentive, you'd be able to surpass yours if you had to.

[Trunks gives an amused chuckle, while finishing off his own beer.]

I have before. He didn't like it. Except that it was only in pure strength as I didn't see the weaknesses in that form. I don't say I'm a half-breed to disparage myself. I'm more saying that I don't know what differences, if any, might be between a half-blood and a full-blood.

[There's a shrug, as Trunks is honestly unconcerned.]

Then again, we're such a small sample size you could probably just lump us all together. Father and Goku are the last two full Saiyans that I know of, and in my timeline--I'm the only one with any saiyan blood left, period.

I'll be perfectly honest... given what I've seen of humans and demons, I'd be willing to bet that in a few years with enough practice, you'll surpass anyone who steps up to you. Humans are a unique breed. They continue to thrive in spite of a universe that's bound and determined to keep them near the bottom of the food chain.

In fact - no offense to Goku or anything, he seems like a generally great guy - but I think I'd rather spar with you.

[There's some more soft laughter.]

I have no issues about whether I should be stronger or not, at least stronger than my father or Goku. Only reason I care about being stronger, is so I can protect people. You don't have to tell me how amazing they are either. I've spent the last year fighting a mad genocidal God to defend the last group of surviving humans.

[Trunks does not have nearly the pride-issues that his father and mother have. The few he has, manifest in different ways. None of what he says is meant as false modesty--it's more trying to make it clear to Dante he's not putting himself or humans down.]
