4th Taunt | Video/Action

[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.

[Action]

[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.]

[He can understand all that, at least. That sort of system wasn't exactly familiar to him but he got it, what Cliff was trying to explain.]

Unfortunately when it comes down to warring with other planets, that war will come to your own as well; I've seen too many examples of that already. When you're able to travel the universe, eventually, the fight will come to you no matter where you live. [Even though it kind of goes without saying, doesn't it.] What will you do when they come to claim your planet?

[Cliff frowned at the mention.]

Ya think I don't know that? It's already been happening, and it's a part of why these systems want to break off. They're not getting the support they need.

The wars won't touch my home; we won't let 'em. But these other places...

[He huffed irritably.] Agh. That's where Quark comes in. We try to help these little guys get together so that their voices can be heard. And to kinda, you know, be a support to eachother in messes like this. [Cliff scratched his head in a moment of distraction as he mulled over the overall climate of his galaxy. It seemed bizarre to him that Federation politics seemed so small anymore.]

...

No one should have to follow orders they don't like. I know I don't.

For your sake you better hope your forces are enough to keep it from coming to your home world. I don't know exactly what this Federation does when it takes over. But again; I've never had a good experience with this sort of thing.

So is that what this Quark is? Your own little organization to rival that of the Federation? Seems like a losing battle if they have such momentum already in your world.

And I don't know about that. Some orders are necessary despite if someone likes them or not. [But Vegeta is usually the one giving the orders.] But that is if you trust the one giving them.

Haha. Don't get me wrong; I'm just a field agent. Please. It's one of those things where you have to play inside the system. If people get loud enough...?

Welp. There's no choice but to hear.

Besides. Our boss does a damn fine job of running the ship. What she says goes, but she's cool about it. If there's anyone I do trust giving me orders, it's her.

[Cliff has far more patience for this kind of thing than Vegeta does, and he sees that- if he had to do what Cliff does, he'd certainly kill everyone in the room before he put up with people yelling orders at him. But instead of saying it he just wears an expression of impatience at the idea. Cliff is smart; he'll understand, he thinks.]

Does she now? She must be a fine tactician. [Something Vegeta can certainly appreciate.] Something very necessary on the battlefield. I wish more Saiyans had those kind of brains. We may be incredibly powerful but I can't say the entirety of my race were rocket scientists. [Hell, most of them couldn't control their Oozaru form like Vegeta could.]

[Cliff could tell enough about Vegeta's level of patience from their prior conversation alone. To him, it didn't sound like Saiyans were a very patient race...not that he was a shining example of a Klausian or a paragon of patience himself.]

She's one of the best you'd find, trust me. Though, I'm kinda hoping that she doesn't land here...because. It's here. [And their work at home was infinitely more important.]

And sometimes you don't need a bunch of brilliant people. Sometimes all you need is someone who can talk tough and prove it in action. You really don't have anyone like that?

It would help if they had more than half a brain, fights would be a lot more simple if one can plan ahead and outwit their enemy. I'm more used to an individual fight rather than fights involving large starcraft. In fact, battleships are quite useless where I'm from, since a single being can just blow them up without barely lifting a finger.

Do you mean talk tough but lack any sort of IQ? Sure, we've got one like that, his brain consists of nothing but his stomach and his own stupidity. [He gives an exasperated sigh.] But I guess he's pretty strong, either way.

No, I mean they've got way more than half a brain, but they're not afraid to join in the scuffle when the cannons start firing. Ya see, we don't really have people back home who can just destroy battle-class ships like that. [It was a half truth, but the entirety was a can of worms that he didn't want to open at that point.] So, they're a pretty legit threat.

[He shrugged.] When you're dealing with something that has both space-time displacement shields and creation cannons, you've gotta think a little.

Interesting. Ships from my world had their own lines of defense but nothing to that degree. However that would make sense if no one of your universe can fight as ones from mine can. Our own bodies would probably function as that of a creation cannon, if it works the way I'm assuming it does.

You see, a majority of my race traveled by pods, a small circular ship that only sat one person comfortably and were no larger than a small Earth bathroom, probably smaller. However, a vast amount of the galaxy knew better than to attack a Saiyan space pod- lest they found themselves a quick end.

It sounds that our technology is vastly different. I wonder what else you have access to that we haven't invented yet.

You mean that there's people that can destroy a planet if something goes south? Geez...

[There was a reason for the heavy restrictions that were placed on the use of creation energy and how creation cannons were used. They were powerful, but extremely difficult to control.]

I dunno if we can really compare things straight here. We've got pods like that too-- as emergency escapes for when a cruiser goes down. They're kinda like lifeboats on one of those classical wooden ships, the kinds that are used on the ocean. But, people have been active in space for over seven hundred years by the calendar, even if my people have only been at it for a hundred or so years.

Yes. It's a lot simpler than you might think, destroying an entire world. I'd demonstrate but- [He lets that trail off, giving a small smirk in the process. He wouldn't do that anymore, though. That was once upon a time.]

Ours are a little different, they weren't necessarily emergency escape vehicles. However we had a remote control to activate it to come to our current location in case we needed to get to it quickly. It was quite convenient if you had to get off of a planet. Though I've only had that problem once. [He does look a little irritated at that thought as well.]

[But his hand finds his chin.] Interesting. I couldn't tell you of our own universe and how long beings have had access to space travel myself. I know the Saiyans were granted access to space travel when we came under the reign of Freiza, but there are rumors they had the ability long before that. It's very muddled, being that it came from a time when my race was quite primitive. But...you could say we evolved very quickly.

I'd prefer if ya didn't, thanks. [There were certain events that were too recent for him, so recent that he still wasn't sure if he could believe them, and the suggestion-- even made in jest-- only served to get him steamed.] We'd all need one of those little pods if you want to give a demo, and I think they're sold out in these parts.

[However, the momentary irritation eased as he mulled over the explanation.]

Sometimes those legends and rumors have some truth to them. Not that it matters much.

What do you mean about 'developing quickly' anyway?

I know that legends have truth in them. I've experienced it firsthand. [But he shrugs at Cliff's question.] I can't tell you for sure how everything took place. [~~Since canon itself is very inconsistent and it makes Vegeta's mun very angry.~~] What I do know is that a war broke out between my people and an inferior race called the Tuffles, and needless to say we forced their people out and ruled the planet ourselves. The details are skewed on the matter, some say the Saiyans lived in the wastelands of the planet, while the Tuffles lived as most modern races live now. Others say we traveled there from space and conquered the planet. I was originally told the story that we lived as slaves at one time to the Tuffles, but as I said these are rumors.

However, as we learned to use their technology, we grew- and the Saiyans became what you see before you now. Though I'd like to think I've developed a little more manners than my ancestors.

Hahaha~

Doesn't everyone? I mean, I wouldn't be the same guy if my grandparents' grandparents hadn't made First Contact. Things get screwy in hindsight-- it ain't twenty-twenty-- but that doesn't change how things are today.

True. But even then the things of the past don't always seem worth it despite the outcome that it might of procured in the end. Or perhaps thinking of what might of happened if things had been different.

I don't dwell on such things but it's something to ponder.

I don't either, unless it's something that's gonna help me in the here and now. A little history helps sometimes...but, nothing so far out.

Likewise. I would prefer to wear the pride of my people rather than dwell on things long gone. I find that much more helpful than a distant memory of days past.

Heh. Ain't that the truth?

[Have a chuckle, Cliff.]

More than you know Cliff. More than you know.
