4th Taunt | Video/Action

[misterbrief]

[Video]

[In the last few months after arriving in Luceti, Vegeta (somehow) has managed to meet a variety of the inhabitants, somehow miraculously making "friends" and creating enemies alike, but he's noticed one common theme among almost every person he's come across.

This absolutely strange obsession everyone seems to have with his hair.

Which today, has prompted the Saiyan Prince to angrily express himself on the matter.]

Listen. I know most of you may not know me, but if we cross paths- yes, this is my actual hair. [He turns his head so the video can clearly catch all of his anti-gravity mop.] It's not held up by any artificial means, it's not a wig. I don't use this "industrial style hair gel" some speak of, I don't blow dry it to perfection, and I certainly have no intention of letting any of you try to brush it, comb it, touch it, or otherwise come near my hair to satisfy your curiosity.

A Saiyan's hair does not change from the moment they are born. I've always had this hair, though I have cut it to this length to match earthling hair, as it was much longer in the past. [His daughter made him cut it. It was nerdy.]

So I don't want to hear anything more about it, from anyone, or I'll be more than happy to blast you.

[He's going to either be at home in Community House 3, at Seventh Heaven getting a meal, or training at the Battle Dome, if you'd prefer to run into him instead.]

Well, one did anyways. I scored pretty high on some tests, so I guess I pinged his radar.

... And he knew my dad.

[Video]

[misterbrief]

Sounds like you've got him to thank for this. But I understand, boasting about one's children. It's only natural. [He's pretty proud of his kids.]

_{[His mouth quirked sharply, a tight tug that was a pained thing.]}

He knew my dad before he died... right as I was born. I think it was back in Academy days... and then reading some accounts of what happened. He did a dissertation on it, my dad's last and only moments as Captain.

[He sits silent for a moment.]

Tell me, how did your father die?

Re: [Video]

[universal_charm]

On a suicide run with the ship, trying to stop Nero's ship from doing more damage and saving as much of the crew as he could.

The auto-pilot function had been wrecked, so the only way for everyone to get off was for manual piloting. The Captain was dead, so... my dad was next in line. He did what needed to be done.

[Video]

[misterbrief]

I see. That is how it should be; a warrior does not run from battle, he stays and fights to see it through, to defeat his enemy or die trying. Your father died with honor. And you should be proud to be his son.

Re: [Video]

[universal_charm]

I am, don't get me wrong. He's admired, in Star Fleet. Just... his shadow is kind of big.

[Video]

[misterbrief]

That's only an obstacle if you allow it to be one. Your blood alone determined that you would be a Captain, I see this now. And correct me if I'm wrong but it seems to me that you've already surpassed him. So I don't see what the issue is. [Other than what Vegeta considers a poor taste in relations with women.]

Re: [Video]

[universal_charm]

Please, blood does not determine anything in my experience. I just... got his love of the stars, I guess.

And I don't think I've surpassed him. It's hard to surpass a man who sacrificed everything for his entire ship.

[Video]

[misterbrief]

Your day will come. [Spoken from experience. He understands Kirk's situation, as best he can at least- someone who had surpassed their father in strength at an early age, only in the end to sacrifice himself for everyone he cared about. Yes, he knew, and one day he believed Kirk would too.]

Re: [Video]

[universal_charm]

Heh, maybe it'll be busting us all out of here. That would be pretty spectacular, huh?

[Video]

[misterbrief]

Ha. If you manage that I'll let you get away with calling me a monkey for one whole day. Good luck.

Re: [Video]

[universal_charm]

Oh, see, now I really have to get this done. Getting to call you a monkey all day? Priceless.

[Video] THEY'RE SUCH BROS LOL

[misterbrief]

Savor it. I don't let anyone call me something like that. Ever.

Re: [Video] THEY'RE SUCH BROS LOL

[universal_charm]

You realize you're only giving me an incentive to actually do this, right? And I will hold you to your promise.

[misterbrief]

I think I can handle your endless abuse of my patience for one day if you can pull it off. And I keep good on my word, Kirk.

[universal_charm]

I think I want to write up a contract and make you sign it first, just, you know, for protection.

[misterbrief]

Fine, if it means that much to you I'll sign your stupid contract. But you're going to have to bring it over yourself, I can't be bothered to go out of my way for some petty piece of paper.

[universal_charm]

Heh, you got it. I'll even have Spock draft it - no loopholes for you.

[misterbrief]

Then I'll see you when you get here with it. [He'll close his journal now. Because this continues on somewhere else.]
