WHO: Son Goku and others. Goku and Ukoku.
WHERE: Anywhere you want around the starship and then at the food court.
WHEN: January 6th
WHAT: Goku is a curious monkey trying to figure things out and make friends. Come make friends with him. Then he tries to have a nice meal and gets mercilessly bullied.
WARNINGS: Possibly violence at some point.



A.
[Goku tried to follow along with orientation, really he did. But he'd been worried and confused and they'd used a lot of long words that he'd never heard before. And some words he had heard before that apparently meant things he didn't know they'd meant. Also they spoke really fast and didn't answer his questions properly, even when he raised his hand. But, after a day or two to get his head around it and to talk to other people, Goku thinks he's gotten the important bits down.

a) He's in space, far away from Earth, floating in the middle of nowhere.

b) Sanzo, Gojyo, Hakkai and Jeep aren't nearby.

He's more concerned about the latter than the former, funnily enough. Who knows what kind of trouble the guys could get into without him there? He can't leave everything to Jeep, as sensible as the dragon is. He's gotta get back!

For now, the only thing he can think to do is explore the starship and look for answers. Maybe make some friends who can help him out- he's sure he's not the only one who wants to get back fast. People are likely to spot a curious monkey running around just about anywhere. From the medbay, to the shopping center, to the hangar, to getting lost in the black market... Goku is running down halls, peeking around corners and maybe accidentally breaking something he shouldn't have been touching and trying to hide it quickly before anyone notices.]


Hey! What are you doing? [Working on something? Trying to mind your own business? Don't mind Goku hovering by your shoulder.] Can I help?



B.

[After a day of running around and getting underfoot, Goku is understandably starving. The food court in the shopping center looks like paradise to him- so many restaurants! All so reasonably priced! Selling bananas is a dumb job but Goku's gathered enough change to buy himself a decent meal. He gets as much food as he can and spreads it out on a table, just for him!

One table.

Just for him.

On his own.

With all this food that he doesn't have to fight anyone for. With no one to scold him for spending too much or for his terrible manners. A nice, quiet meal... On his own.

Despite the crowds filling up the shopping center, Goku feels like it really is very quiet at the table. Slowly, he starts to eat some spring rolls, all the energy he'd been brimming with before suddenly fading.]

[ Koumyou nods, opening his mouth to answer, to explain his excellent paper airplane skills and how he might fold some animals just for variety. He never gets that far.

His eyebrows to rise just the tiniest bit. It's an impressive effort.
]

Ah, there's a trick to that kind of hobby, too.

Here, I'll show you how to fix it. [ He leans over, reaching to help him. ] You just twist your wrist like this, and pull there...

[ He's very good at this, and patient as he untangles the yarn. ]

Ah, I made a mistake. [ How he ends up freeing Goku while tangling himself up is a mystery, but it sure did just happen. ]

I... am, too. [ If anyone deserves a swat for this, it's not Goku. ]

I think I need to find a book on knitting. This isn't how it should work.
straycloud: if chicken nuggets are involved (i would definitely ride that dick)

[personal profile] straycloud 2017-02-11 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I could, but I thought it sounded like a good use of my time. There's no need for a Sanzo here.

[ He tugs as Goku works to free him, hooking a finger in the yarn as he does and inexplicably undoing most of the tangles. ] Huh. You're good at this.
straycloud: (you're just mad i got the high score)

[personal profile] straycloud 2017-02-12 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Koumyou laughs delightedly. ] You are. It must be because you see everything so clearly. [ Sorry, he's entirely too tickled by the implied insult. ] Being the highest is an entirely useless position. If I could, I'd do this at home, too. It's the most I'm good for.

The Three Aspects have a certain view of our role. I wouldn't say they're right.

[ There's no particular change to his tone or demeanor as he casually blasphemes. ] I wonder what my cute successor thinks his role is. I hope he's not so boring as to listen to the gods all the time.
