Rating: Varied



It's early morning in the quiet enclosure that will someday become Luceti. The sun is rising, birds are chirping in that annoyingly cheery way that makes you want to shoot them out of the trees, and the residents are beginning to wake up. Most of them are heading to work, either to farm, or to build, or to work the shops, or even just to prepare a nice breakfast for their families and neighbours. Everyone has something to do.

And then, out of nowhere, a couple hundred strangers show up in the middle of the woods.

At first there is confusion, and no shortage of caution, from the neighbours; newcomers are common enough, but usually they are announced beforehand, and never in such great numbers. The leaders of the town are called in to ask questions. The newcomers are free to explore, but any aggression will be met in kind; if need be, the Filial of the past will defend their homes. They're hoping it won't come to that, however. You're stuck with one another for a long time, after all.

Thankfully, there is one man who might be able to bring the natives and newcomers together: Tyr.

...And the other guy, maybe. We'll see.

[Eighteen makes a stifled sort of laugh at that.]

As if. I didn't sign up on some girl scout mission to be helpful.

[misterbrief]

Neither did the rest of us. [It's anger directed at John, of course.]

And until we're given some sort of idea as to why we were sent here, I'm going to ignore that cretin's orders. He better of had a good reason for this. And if something goes haywire, I'm blowing this place sky high.

[tsundroid]

At least we agree on that much then.

[And that being said... well, what the hell was she supposed to do exactly. Oh whatever. She sticks her hands into her pockets and sighs out.]

May as well find out what's outside of these woods. They're better be a town, whatever else there is.

[Seventeen is the recluse in a cabin, not her.]

[misterbrief]

[He shrugs. Yeah, might as well.]

It's Luceti. But what I'd like to know is if there's anything to do. There had better be some kind of Battle Dome here or else.

[As long as it's a building with shifts on the walls so he can go all out, that's fine with him.]

[tsundroid]

We've been jerked into the past and dropped into the woods with no amenities. I wouldn't be that surprised if there isn't even the first hint of a Battle Dome.

[misterbrief]

That's not what I want to hear. [He's even walking angrily through the trees with her at the very thought of not having anywhere to train.]

These woods will be a training ground if that's the case, and they aren't going to like that.

[tsundroid]

They may not like it but I don't think they really care one way or the other. If they wanted to avoid pissing you off, they would have done the smart thing and not brought you.

[She doesn't quite stomp through the forest like him but she's too disgusted to be mad by this point. All of the bull, from the returning here to the cleanups to college idiocy to Krillin's freaky hair was just weighing on her further and further.]

[misterbrief]

[He glares at her. But lets it go. He's used to that kind of commentary from her by now.]

They're going to care when half of the enclosure is nothing but a barren waste of burnt trees and craters. Putting us somewhere at only a fraction of our power is going to take a lot of work on our part to make sure those freaks don't catch us at our worst.

[tsundroid]

So it's all about playing nice for now?

[misterbrief]

Not if I've got any say. I don't have time to waste with half the idiots around here.

We better get a mission out of this or else. [He doesn't want to be bored.]

[tsundroid]

Don't pin your hopes too much on that.

[misterbrief]

...

Ever the optimistic one, aren't you.

[No room to talk at all Vegeta no room]

[tsundroid]

Of course. Optimism has helped me so much in the past.

[misterbrief]

Yes, believe me, I haven't forgotten.

[Look, there's a nasty little smile to himself. He's thinking of something awful. He's not really hiding it from her either.]

[tsundroid]

[At that she just rolls her eyes.]

And what's that supposed to mean exactly.

[misterbrief]

[He laughs quietly at her and doesn't bother explaining himself. Because he's a giant brat.]

Look here. Just as I said. There's a village, and now you can wear clothes from the Dark Ages.

[tsundroid]

[You know what, Vegeta, forget your face. She glares at him even if he doesn't spare her another glance before she glances to the village.

The much smaller village.

Oh my god the dry voice.]

Just what I always wanted, I can't wait.

[misterbrief]

[He's going to...join her in that one.]

You're kidding me.

[there's NOTHING]

Not a darn thing, no shops, there isn't even the blasted coffee shop...

[tsundroid]

What was that you were saying about the "Dark Ages"?

[misterbrief]

How was I supposed to know we were actually returning to the Dark Ages?

[It was kind of a joke but not but wow he was RIGHT ON THE MARK]

[tsundroid]

I don't know, did traveling to the past not clue you in?

[misterbrief]

With all that technology they have in our time, you'd think they'd have a little more now. We're not that far into the past.

[For spaceman, that's not a long time- civilizations had tech for a lot longer. A few hundred years shouldn't of been this drastic of a change, at least he thought so.]

[tsundroid]

You have a point. This isn't exactly home though. Since Luceti is an enclosure, most of their technology probably comes from what the idiots running the place give them. So if they don't really give them much... well.

[misterbrief]

[There's an exasperated sigh from him.]

What it means is that we're going to be bored.

[Yeah he's just...gunna say it. He bets wherever they can train will be like, wood and mats and that's it.]

[tsundroid]

... Good point.

[She just sort of mumbles that because damn she hadn't realized how much she would miss that stupid Battle Dome until just now.]
