3rd Taunt | Action, A Mallynap Backdated to Feb 2nd

[On the night of the 2nd, after finally finishing his routine training at the Battle Dome, Vegeta's finally decided to turn in and get some much needed rest. Unfortunately that doesn't last long- the droids come for him that night, because it's finally his turn to experience being experimented on.

They don't keep him long though, only a 24 hour mallynap; and he's dumped right outside the village, sore, but fine. He won't tell anyone because it's quite humiliating for him, being that he couldn't do anything to the Malnosso during his visit.]

[But he's acting a little strange ever since the mallynap. Those who've met him already know he's got a pretty sour disposition most of the time, and doesn't like to be bothered. However when he's out in the village, he encounters people in the shops or around the square, like someone dropping a bag and asking him to pick it up for them, and he does without question, or some cheery woman telling him to smile, which he also responds to, smiling back at her for just a second until he catches himself and scowls once again. He wasn't happy at all, but for some reason, his mouth just did whatever it wanted.

He has no idea why this is happening, but his body is doing whatever it wants, but more specifically, whatever other people tell him or ask him to do. It doesn't seem to have affected his personality, and he's completely aware of what's going on, but he's almost powerless to stop it.

He can be seen anywhere in the village, reacting to these kind of encounters. The plaza, Seventh Heaven, the Battle Dome, or in the clothing shop. Anyone who's met him knows something's up, and anyone who doesn't know him well...they might find out if they start asking the right questions.]

((OoC: Basically Vegeta's going to be subject to whatever the residents of Luceti want of him, for the most part. Due to his mental capabilities though, since he is able to resist a good amount of mind control, he is going to be able to resist some requests; but since it takes an enormous amount of effort to do so, he'll be reserving that for requests to hurt, endanger, or kill himself or others. If you still want to do something harmful like that, feel free to contact me; I'm totally cool with plotting something with this if you'd like. Other than that everything else is fair game. This will be effecting him from Feb. 3rd to Feb. 17th, right after Valentine's Day and all the shenanigans. If he's in a thread of yours already from the 2nd or 3rd, feel free to be retroactive with this and torture him to your heart's desire.))

[Aang will spot Vegeta while strolling through the plaza with his arms full of groceries. It's good to see him up and about - he'd been wondering if Vegeta appreciated his "get well" basket.]

Hey, Avatar Vegeta! How are you?

[He just winces at that. He won't get used to being called Avatar Vegeta, not for a long time. But he also hasn't forgotten Aang's kindness from previously.]

I'm fine, Avatar Aang. My wings are back to normal now and I don't plan on damaging them again. [He eyes the bags of groceries Aang's got with him.] Don't you think you've got a little more than you can chew there?

I'm glad you're feeling better, and that you don't wanna hurt your wings anymore. [He smiles sheepishly from between the bags of groceries.]

I guess I might've grabbed more than I thought. I would've asked someone to come with me if I know I'd wind up with this much. Do you think you can lend me a hand, Vegeta?

[First there's a growl, and he starts to protest-] You can carr- [And his hands thrust out, right out on their own, grabbing a bag or two, making Vegeta's eyes suddenly go wide. No, not here, not now; but it's happening, and there's nothing he can do to stop it. He quickly silences himself before Aang can notice, hopefully.]

Sure. [Through very gritted teeth.] Where are we headed then?

Wow, thanks Vegeta! [Without that weight, Aang can move with a new spring in his step.] We're gonna go to House 56, were I live with my friends. If you don't know where that is, just follow me!

[And he starts to trot there after looking to Vegeta with a bright smile. What a nice friend.]

Where you live with your...wha? [If anything could spell more bad news right about now, that was it. He did not need any more people around him, not at all. Needless to say underneath the angry exterior, Vegeta's panicking; what was he going to do? What if they figured it out? Was he going to be a plaything for a bunch of children for the rest of his life? Was this ever going to end?]

[And he doesn't know where that is; and there it is again, his feet moving on their own, following Aang. Breathe, breathe. His face had a slight blue coloration to it from forgetting to take a breath in his alarmed state.]

So, how many others do you live with exactly? [He's gotta know, to evaluate how bad this might end up being.]

My friends! Right now there's fi- [Quick flittering of the eyes.] er, four others. [To think there'd be more if Suki hadn't left, and Katara hadn't been changed by the Malnosso.]

[Situation evaluated; and it's bad, a house of four other potential brats, and here his legs are, moving him one agonizing step by another agonizing step to what would certainly spell out doom for him. There's got to be a way out, but he'd already said he would help, if he tries to back out now Aang might suspect something...]

Aang, your friends- they wouldn't happen to be all be at home at the moment, would they? Because I wouldn't want to come over and make a lot of noise in case any of them are napping or the like! [What a horrible idea, he's sure Aang would never buy that, not in a million years. The sweat is starting to form on his brow, now very, very worried.]

Vegeta... you're so considerate! The house might be empty right now, but everyone's awake and active at this time anyway! I think Ikki's on a playdate, Sokka might be at the smithy right now, and Bolin and Roku could be anywhere!

[How could I be so stupid? He knew that excuse wasn't going to get him out of this. But that was at least a little bit of good news; they might not be home. The Prince breathes a sigh of relief at that thought at least. He could deal with Aang.]

[Considerate. Right.] Well then, I think it would be a good idea to get all of this back home before they show up, so then it won't be in the way, don't you think? [Because if he could just drop the groceries now and fly away he would- but he can't, and the sooner he gets out, the better, right? Right.]

In fact, why don't we make this quicker and just fly to your house? [Time to speed this up, good galaxy, before it was too late.]

You can fly? In what kinda way?

[He grins. A chance to show off.]

Why don't I just show you? Hand me the rest of those bags, and grab a hold of my back. And hang on- wouldn't want you falling off.

[Aang is positively speechless. He hands over the bags - his excitement overwhelming any concern he might have felt about Vegeta's ability to carry all that - and then hops right onto his back, grabbing onto his shoulders while being careful not to touch his wings.]

Thanks Avatar Vegeta!

[Wince. Won't this infernal boy ever stop calling him that? And the bags? No problem.]

Yes, yes. [Said impatiently.] We'll get there quickly so be on the lookout and let me know when we've reached our destination. [The sooner the better. But no sooner had he said it, there's an explosion of blue energy that surrounds them, and he takes off- zooming in the direction of Aang's house, or what he assumes is the right direction considering the path they were taking.]

[As long as he thinks he's an Avatar, he will. As for the direction, Aang's too excited to pay attention, although at least he had been walking in the general direction.

The glow alone amazes him, and it's an exhilarating new way to fly. Aang cheers loudly.]

This is amazing!

[Aang's excitement is almost too much for him to handle. But he'll grit his teeth and bare it for now.] I know this must be fun and all, but I need you to focus on where we're going for at least five seconds or we'll overshoot your house. [Vegeta flies pretty fast; they haven't been up in the air long and they're already reaching the edge of Luceti.]

Oh... right. Where are we? [He tries to look down towards the ground.] Did we pass it?

How am I supposed to know!? It's your house! [He hasn't flown over the forest or anything, in fact Vegeta has to turn around now- they've reached the edge of the village already.]

Lemme see! [Aang peers down and points.]

Oh, that's it! Right there!

About time. [He'll take them down quickly, landing right in front of the house he thought Aang was pointing at- but who knows if he actually chose the correct house or not, since it was hard to tell from where he was pointing.]

Ok, we're here; let's get this all inside, quickly.

[Aang hopes down and quickly sees-]

This isn't our house, it's the one across the street. [And he turns to face the right house.] See, not too far from it's a statue of my friend Sokka's head!

What. Why is there a statue of- [His jaw just drops and his sentence is cut off mid-thought. If he could facepalm right now, he would, but he's got too many groceries in his hands to be able to do so.]

Do I even want to know?

I don't know, do you? It's from a long time ago, though, so it doesn't have his beard.

Let me guess. You each take turns offering little toy lambs as a sacrifice to it? [He shakes his head as he starts walking to Aang's house.]

[Aang raises an eyebrow as he walks him over.]

No? If Sokka wanted a toy lamb, I'd bring it to him myself. ...Do you think he wants one?

Yes Aang. He'd love one. In fact, why don't you run to the store and get him one and I'll put these groceries away for you! [PERFECT. He thinks that as another bead of sweat rolls down the side of his head.]

You think he would? But you don't know where all the groceries go. I should show you around the house at least!

[I will never be rid of this brat! What am I going to do? His face isn't showing it, but the panic sets back in. He can't do much else but go inside...]

Sure he would. Who doesn't like toy animals. [Said very sarcastically.] I'm sure I could figure it out, they go in the kitchen, like any other house. And you really, really don't have to do that.

Mostly evil people, I guess. But I'd want to make sure it's the animal he wants the most. And I wanna make sure everything goes where it belongs, so it all looks good in case Katara comes back. I don't see why I shouldn't show you around, while you're being so nice!

[Face twiiiiitch]

Right. Let's just go, ok? [He starts walking really fast to the house. Emphasis on really fast.]

[Aang hastens to catch up with Vegeta.]

Okay! Are we racing?

Sure. Try to keep up. [And Vegeta takes off, groceries in tow, and he moves fast.]

Whoa! You're so cool, Avatar Vegeta!

[Aang runs after him as fast as he can - which not near DBZ speeds is still pretty damn fast with an airbending boost, and he skids to a stop at their porch.]

[He's reached the porch right before Aang catches up; wow Aang did move pretty fast for being such a little kid, but he was the protector of the Earth where he came from, after all. Makes sense.]

[He'll chuckle softly when Aang catches up.] Looks like I'll be taking that round, Aang.

[Then a look to the door, and a glance down to the groceries, back to the door, then to Aang- his hands are totally full.]

Definitely. Congratulations! [Sorry Vegeta, no competitive streak here. But he notices the dilemma.]

Oh - let me get the door for you.

[Aang quickly holds the door open, so that the Saiyan Prince can carry his groceries inside.]

[Took long enough. Now to get rid of this garbage and get out. He steps in and instantly starts looking for the kitchen, eager to get all of the groceries out of his hands so he can haul himself home and find some heavy-duty earplugs.]

Come, we wouldn't want anything to spoil. Let's get this all taken care of, shall we? [Being fake nice sucks.]

Right! [And he quickly guides him towards the kitchen table.] Now just put 'em right here and we'll have everything sorted out in no time!

[The groceries are set down quite quickly- though the command didn't entirely entail an involuntary response from his body, though he felt his body moving on its own slightly before he began to move himself of his own will. He had to get out of here, fast.]

Well, I guess you're all set then- [He turns around, dusting his hands and starting to leave the kitchen with a quick step. Get out get out get out get out!]

[He's actually fine with putting everything away, but he feels bad about letting Vegeta leave so quickly after doing so much to help him.]

Wait, don't go yet! Thank you much! Can you please wait a moment so I can hug you?

[His entire body just stops. Stops. Freezes without a second thought, and slowly turns around to face Aang, teeth gritted. It seemed he was fighting it, by the way he turned, but to no avail. Meanwhile inside of Vegeta's mind he's screaming, No, this cannot be happening, why...!]

I don't hug, Aang. So you can forget about that. [Putting on that tough face, in hopes of scaring the young Avatar off...]

You don't? [He remembers what Shikamaru told him.] Is it because of the bro codes? But I think this is a good time for a hug! So do you think I can have one, Avatar Vegeta?

[He steps forward and spreads his arms out hesitantly.]

Ugh no, I won't-! [Trying to intimidate Aang doesn't work- and with the request, Vegeta's body moves, giving Aang a nice hug, cutting himself off mid-sentence. His face is looking quite exasperated, irritated and defeated all at the same time, but don't forget that nice shade of red it's turned.

In the embrace he just sighs heavily. This will never end, will it. Never.]

[Aang relaxes and gives a nice, big hug. But he's not merciless and soon lets go.]

Thanks. That was great.

[There just simply isn't enough words to express how much Vegeta absolutely hates his life right about now. Complete unadulterated hate. It felt like a hammer had come right down on his pride and crushed it into several thousand pieces, and who knew how long it would take him to put it back together, and that was only if a refreshing breeze didn't come along and scatter them all.]

[And quite frankly, it's taking every inch of willpower he has to keep from completely losing it, face still a bright red, fists clenched. And he can't say anything either, lest Aang suspects what's wrong with him.]

[So he turns without saying anything, and will try to leave before Aang can stop him.]

[Is he leaving... oh well, Aang waves.]

Oh... goodbye, Vegeta! Come by again when everyone's around so you can meet them all!

[He turns around for just a moment, before flying off.]

Do me a favor. Don't tell me when "everyone's around."

Um... okay? [He'll just tell him when most of them are around, then. And waves at the departing Vegeta] Seeya later!

[He doesn't say anything, humiliated enough as he was- and he takes off quickly, thankful just to leave.

Mid-flight he takes a look back at the house, and gives a heavy sigh.]
