[His clothing had finally arrived, and Vegeta's streaking through the sky, a blue trail of energy in his wake. He finally reaches the shop in a huff, catching himself with a left foot and balancing with a right as he lands.]

[Inside, he's berating the poor person running the shop-]

You-! Are my belongings finally in stock in this pathetic little dump you call a store!?

[He soon after stomps out, clothing in hand, reaching the middle of the square. But he doesn't take off right away, still brooding over his arrival in Luceti.]

[In fact, throws his clothes down onto the ground in a rage and takes out the journal he'd woken up with a few days prior.]

[During his short voice entry, he searches his back and finds his wing, still yelling into the device, yanking on it with teeth gritted. He falls to his knees, face completely blue as the shining ocean itself and is desperately trying to hold back vomiting as a few feathers or so float down beside him.]

[He'll be there for a short while before he regains the strength to stand up and walk again, back to his apartment.]

[Voice]

Listen, I don't know exactly why I've found myself here, but I am tired of this ridiculous game. I demand I be returned back to West City before I decide that I'm going to get some therapy from blasting someone. And these ludicrous wings-! They can't be removed, huh? Well we'll see about that!

[A groan and the ruffle of feathers- followed by a cry out as he's reaching back and yanking on the wing on his left side. Over the audio there's a thud and the sound of a throat holding back what one could probably assume was his lunch.]

Argh! You can't...be serious...!

[His mouth turns up, but he follows; not that he has much of a choice in the condition he's put himself in. ~~Idiot~~. He doesn't say anything else for the time being, just manages to look rather irritated as per the usual.]

[Saori leads Vegeta into town, enjoying the silence such as it is. She takes him over to the clothing shop first.]

You can collect clothing here. Your own from home.

[He takes a glance back in the store- he knew that, but that was interesting to him how the clothing store had all his belongings from home.]

So, let me guess, their magic allows them to bring all of our possessions from home. Right?

[Saori nods]

Yes, though whether it's magic or some manner of technology is a matter of debate. It might be some combination of both.

[A foot finds some dirt on the ground and he kicks it up angrily. Of course.] So what has anyone done to try to leave this accursed village? I refuse to believe that this Malnosso is all-powerful and unable to be stopped.

The barrier is all but impenetrable from the inside. I've personally tried everything I know, and I know others have as well. They aren't all powerful, though. There is another group outside the barrier that makes war on the Malnosso. Unfortunately, they also want to kill us as part of some mad ritual.

Really, there just haven't been any openings to really...counterattack. Or I would have, as would others.

[His expression is a mix of shock and sullenness, letting the information of it all soak in, knowing she spoke the truth on the matter. He'd had his own run in with the barrier too, which as one could imagine didn't end well for him.

And this will give him something to ponder and research during his stay here.]

Lady Kimura. If I have any say in it, we won't be stuck here to be experimented on like rats. [He's a pretty determined guy when it comes to this kind of stuff. And he'd heard of the mallynapping.] I can assure you of that.

Unfortunately, you don't have much say in it.

[She shrugged, leading him inside.]

But I'm sure when the time comes you'll be ready to spring into action, Prince. It'll be good to have you there. But that will require patience.

Aren't you the enthusiastic one. [His arms fold and he follows Saori in.

He'd be patient, if he had to. But he won't like it.]

[He takes a gander around the shop- it's got all sorts of items and styles unlike he's ever seen before; and he spots his own, complete even with his Saiyan armor, something he hasn't worn in ages. But he might need it, according to what Saori has told him. There's even the armor bearing the seal of the Vegeta royal family on it, which he picks up and grins.]

Now that's more like it-! [At least he has some formal wear now.] Even my battle armor is here. That will be useful if what you say is true about some idiotic rogue group that will try to kill us. Won't they be in for a surprise.

I am what I am.

[She waits on him patiently, raising an eyebrow at the armor, but declining to comment on the ridiculous shoulderpads.]

Oh, they'll be in for a surprise alright. They've not attacked this enclosure for some time, but it's happened to others.

There are other places like this? You've got to be kidding me! This is absurd, darn them!

[He angrily grabs whatever clothing he finds necessary however, turning back to Saori.]

I'm done. Are there any other places I should be noting here? [The more information Saori volunteers, the more angry he's becoming at the situation again. Though this time without feather tearing.]

Yes, there are a few.

[She shrugs, expression placid in the face of his rage. Vegeta, chill out.]

That depends. Are you missing any weapons, or miscellaneous items?

No, I've no need for weapons and since money isn't required here I've no need for a wallet either. [All it had was credit cards to buy monstrous amounts of clothes for his daughter anyway.]

So if that's all I'm going to head back home. [To what is home for now, he supposes.]

Other than the Battle Dome and the Clinic, that's really it.

[She gives him a look.]

Are you sure you can make it to your...home alright?

[Good question.]

I'll be fine. My legs aren't broken. [He starts to make his way out of the shop with the few things he'd picked up.]

[But he stops for a second however, turning around and giving her a nod- probably the closest thing to a real thank you he's ever issued out to anyone else but that idiot he knows from home.]

Be well, Prince Vegeta.

[And she proceeds to go about her business, leaving him to his own devices]
