Video:

[Hey, look, he's back with another subject that he's getting real sick and tired of explaining to people. That and after all the crap that's happened to him in the past few months, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to let people know, especially after a conversation he had with Cliff recently.]

Now I'm only going to explain this to the lot of you once. Now watch.

[He's out next to a sheer cliff, at the base of the mountain range. The camera is set on top of another rock, as to show the Saiyan Prince with his hand raised and aiming toward the rock wall- and as soon as it's raised, a blast of energy decimates the wall with a loud boom, leaving it as a rocky heap, the dust slowly settling. Vegeta hasn't flinched, and is coming back to pick up his journal again. This may also give away exactly who was responsible for all those explosions that were heard from last week, if people are smart enough to put two and two together.]

Now, with enough diligent training and meditation, which you should be doing anyway, any of you can do that. It's a simple matter of controlling your energy, but if you're not physically fit enough you're not going to be able to do it. In fact, I'd be surprised if even one percent of you manage to be able to achieve even a fraction of the same destructive force I possess. Either way, that might be something you'll all want to start aiming for. And if you're too weak to fight? Fix it.

Now don't misunderstand me. I'm not looking to pick up students. But if you think you can handle it? Then come find me. We'll see what you're made of.


Private to Firo:

Boy, you've stayed hidden long enough. I've got someone for you to meet.

Private to Cliff:

I do believe you and I have things to discuss yet. I'll not have you jumping me anymore with those pathetic attacks of yours, we're fixing that.

Private to Saori:

If you want to see how it's done, I'll be in the Battle Dome the rest of the day. Don't be late.



Action:

[As promised, he'll be at the Battle Dome if anyone decides to try to seek him out. He'll be actually in a chamber, training in a complete power suppressed simulation, working on his battōjutsu that he's taken up learning. Otherwise, those who know where to find him at home can find him at House 29.]

Don't get your hopes too high on that one. [Yeah, he knows Kirk isn't being serious, but he can't help but shoot something back.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Darn, and here I was going to ask you to the dance.

_{[ He rolled his eyes, but then paused. ]}

Actually... question. That energy blast - does it always come out as blasts, or can you channel it into something?

video

[misterbrief]

It's not always a blast, no, but it generally yields the same effect. [That being a huge explosion of some sort.] There are other techniques attributed to it, but no one here's going to be able to master that in this lifetime or the next.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

So you couldn't, say, take that energy and channel it into something like a battery or a power source?

video

[misterbrief]

Ah-! What kind of question is that? It's not electricity, you know, it's spirit energy. Life energy, so to speak. If the contraption ran on that kind of energy, yes, you very well could.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

A logical one? You said "energy" but that can mean a lot of things. But good to know I can scratch "battery" off the list.

video

[misterbrief]

What did you think it was? I wasn't shooting lightning out of my hands, after all. The only thing I know that it can be transferred to as of right now is other living, breathing organisms.

[Because he does not want to talk about that blasted spaceship that sucked the life out of him and Kakarot. No, that can stay under wraps.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Well, I dunno, maybe your chemistry is a little different. Seemed better to ask you than just assume. For all I knew, you were exactly like an electric eel with that stuff.

_{[ That just sounds unpleasant. ]}

video

[misterbrief]

Well, no, it's nothing like that. [An eel, really. What kind of logic is that, Kirk. Vegeta doesn't get it.]

Why did you want to know? Got any hair-brained schemes cooked up in that head of yours?

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Maybe, but since you basically said that kind of transfer won't work, I'm back to the drawing board on it.

video

[misterbrief]

It was probably insane anyhow. Probably some sort of silly contraption you had planned to get through the barrier, am I right?

[He might not be but why else would he ask?]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Sort of, but it didn't involve actually blasting through it. That might work on a mountain side, but I think the barrier needs a subtler touch.

video

[misterbrief]

And how's that? You know opening a portal isn't going to work.

[He laughed a little about that too when he saw the broadcasts from the ones who suffered the consequences.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Who said anything about opening a portal? I'm not stupid, I know that won't work. And I'm not stupid enough to say anything about my own theories on an open channel.

video

[misterbrief]

Does that also mean you don't know how to create a filter? Even I know how to do that. [Not that he's ever beeb bad at tech.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

I know how to create a filter. But do you really, honestly think our captors can't smash right through those too? They can kidnap us at will and do all sorts of things. I really think hacking their way through a filter is the work of a keystroke for them and not even worth a coffee after.

video

[misterbrief]

Suit yourself. If I were them I wouldn't ever worry about anyone breaking out of here, it never seems to work and whenever it does happen, they probably get to punish those they don't like anyhow for being a nuisance. If anything it must be entertaining.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Heh, well, I've never been a guy to take something sitting down. You have to try it - you just can't give up without trying.

video

[misterbrief]

[He laughs quietly. He gets the concept. But somehow he thinks trying this way won't do any good.] Good luck. Let me know how it goes once you give it a whirl.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

It's in the planning stages, but I have a theory. It's worth a shot, right?

video

[misterbrief]

Sure. But do me a favor, let me know when you're planning on pulling a stunt like that so I can make sure to be as far away from it as possible. I'd like to keep myself intact, you know.

[Tony Stark was a genius and he knew it. If Tony couldn't do it, he seriously doubted Kirk could.]

Re: video

[universal_charm]

I'm going to try to avoid an explosion, thanks.

_{[ Just because you were a genius didn't mean you could solve all the problems. They had looked at it one way, Kirk hoped he was looking at it another way. He had not seen evidence of his theory in previous records, so there was some hope... though the buffing up of the shield had put a wrench in things. ]}

I like all my limbs in working order too, even if you're more likely to walk out of it than me anyways.

video

[misterbrief]

As I've found from living here, it doesn't necessarily take an explosion to remove a limb or two. Keep that in mind.

Re: video

[universal_charm]

Thank you for that cheery reminder - you're all sunshine and giggles.

_{[ He's rolling his eyes at you again. Why so doom and gloom all the time Vegeta? Have some faith! ]}

video

[misterbrief]

Anytime. [Hey, he's a realist, give him a break.]

I just want to make sure you remember exactly what you're getting into. We wouldn't want anyone having to be your maid for a few months because something bad happened to you.

[He's lying, he'd laugh.]
