[Well, that sucked, waking up in a new place for the umpteenth millionth time. But this time it wasn't some planet to be conquered or waking up in what was essentially Hell. Given the information presented to him, as despite the appearance he was still keen to learn what the hell was going on in his surroundings, this wasn't... some new brand of Hell for him. Huh.

Which might be why that screen is flicking on with the appearance of this man probably being a little more intimidating than most. Even if he's merely got his arms crossed and leaning against a wall of a building not far from the Bay.]

Useful information to have right out of the gate, appreciated. But two questions extra.

One: Anyone know the logistics of being, what I can only assume, alive again? I seem to have the whole flesh and blood and breathing thing again but I'd rather not press that luck in case there's a catch to it.

Two: Nearest clothing store, this weather is garbage and clearly this isn't doing anything to help with the temperature.

[What's with humans and having weird hair colors? Jeeze.]

Right materials? Hadn't thought about it too much outside of what we normally tend to wear. It's not even a Saiyan thing that much anymore, the whole damn Frieza army starting using the design not too long after discovering it. [Explains a lot, probably. But the question of how he knows what a Saiyan is is getting his attention far easier.]

How do you know of what a Saiyan is, boy? [Boy is good, not meant to be condescending. Mostly.]

Stories my mom told me, with good descriptions.

[With a hint of smirk. Boy, huh? It's actually kinder in tone than Vegeta's used, so that's a plus to Trunks' mind.]

Hadn't known it was a Frieza army thing, but that makes sense. He wasn't exactly known for his fashion sense.

[Further confirming to him that this one at least knows what the hell is going on around here, might as well push it a little further.]

Wasn't a Frieza army thing to begin with, started with the Saiyans and he took it from us. Along with various other things, but how much do you know about what happened with that mess? [At this point he's taking a good guess as to who this kid might possibly be, so might as well be a bit more forthcoming about information than most, right?]

[The information is appreciated, as Trunks did only have part of the story and history. Not like Vegeta had ever been that forthcoming, and Bulma had only had so many details--at least in his timeline. There's an eyebrow quirked up.]

I know basically he enslaved the race, had you all function as space pirates and exterminators, destroyed the planet, and got his butt kicked finally. Then got better, came back, and got it kicked again more soundly along with his father. Last I heard of him he was in Hell, and I hope he stays there this time. He's worse than a cockroach.

[Way more annoying than a cockroach too.]

Back to the topic at hand though, you can find active-wear that'll provide good cover from the elements and allow you decent freedom of movement. Look for military-style as a descriptor--it's not the most fashionable, but it stands up pretty well. Also you might want to learn how to lock and filter your device, unless you want the whole world to see every video you post.

[Vegeta has never been forthcoming with anything in his experience, really.]

More than most know. He destroyed the entire planet after taking a few of us from there, I'm sure you can take a wild guess as to the reason why. [Saiyans were terrifying just on their base strengths, so he's not surprised that someone was terrified of them just for that.]

I heard. We've all seen the personal hell that they gave him, rather fitting and amusing to watch. [Of course he'd get a kick out of that, but that's another story for another time and he'll sort of change subjects back to the topic.]

Military-style, got it. And fashion was never a big thing anyway, as long as it's functional I don't really care what it looks like. [What does get him to pause is the last sentence.]

What makes you think I cared if everyone saw that? If it was private, I'd have said it in person instead of on this device.

[There's a shrug, as that answer doesn't surprise Trunks at all.]

Some people care, and don't realize. This place brings all kinds of people who are familiar with all different kinds of technology levels. Wasn't sure if you were aware or not so figured I'd warn you.

You're also....more good-natured, so far, than I'd been lead to believe Saiyans would be.

[Well, thanks for confirming his thoughts, Trunks.]

I'm guessing you're one of the offspring Vegeta was talking about? If your only interaction with Saiyans is him and Kakarot, then that would... explain a lot Kakarot's not like any of the rest of us and Vegeta... [He trails off for a moment, not quite sure how to word what he wants to word it.]

Is rougher around the edges, I guess. We were a war-type people, sure, but it was never to the levels of what Frieza was doing and those of us that had to deal with him were mostly tempered to seeing what kind of bullshit it all was. Just cogs in the wheel of his army unless we wanted to meet the same fate the vast majority of the rest of our race had.

Good guess--I got my Mother's coloring for hair and eyes.

[A hint of smirk again.]

Personally I think I dodged a bullet on that.

Name's Trunks, and it's...complicated, but yeah I'm the son he mentioned.

[Bowing slightly, any hint of insolence gone, just polite manners.]

I'd say it's nice to meet you Mr. Nappa, but I'm still trying to decide whether that's true or not. I can say it's more pleasant than I was expecting.

[Explains the weird blue nonsense, yes, but he's going to keep his mouth shut on that one, honestly.]

Guessing your mother named you, too? [Just pointing out the obvious of it not being a Saiyan name, of course, he's a mess.]

Well, if what he said was true about the amount of Saiyans around here, I'd be the best bet on knowing any history on the planet or species in general, I'm far older than Kakarot or Vegeta. [Fucking clearly, Nappa.]

I have no intentions on trying to fight anyone here unless it's necessary or some sort of sparring, already died once, not keen on going through it again. But if you want to know more about that without any bias, that'd be more of a question for your father or Kakarot, either one.

[This just gets better and better, as far as Trunks is concerned.]

Depends on if either of them'd tell me. Still, I'm glad to know you're not looking to start trouble--we get plenty of that here anyways. And yeah, Mother named me--Father kind of wasn't around for the bulk of my life.

[Putting it simply.]

At least, that's the simple explanation. I'm also kind of used to helping new arrivals, but you have a good grasp on things so far. Any other questions I can answer?
