9th Taunt | Video/Action
[He'd thought a lot about this, long and hard. But even with all the evidence presented to him over the past year and a half, that still was never enough for him. He didn't want to rely on anything else to fight, he had his own power and his own strength. But being caught like he did so many times on the draft by shifters, relying solely on his own natural strength to survive- there had just been too many close calls.
And he had needed help more than once. How much that ate at his mind was unfathomable except to a few. One day no one was going to be there to help him, even if he hated the very idea of needing help. And if he wasn't ready, where would he be? Put into a position that he allowed for himself to be in, to die. To be sacrificed, like he was already by that bomb the cultists used on them. And next time, he wouldn't be so lucky and he knew it. He still had his reservations about contacting the spirits. But, he felt as if he couldn't avoid it much longer.
Too many what ifs. What if even something so small from the spirits would have helped him? He was sick of it, sick of knowing that might be the only thing he could rely on against their enemy. The only thing that worked when all his other powers were disabled. But even so, there's still more he wanted to know. Because if there's anything he hates, it's wasting time on things that are pointless.]
Video:
[The video feed flickers on, revealing the face of the prince, looking as serious as ever. He gets straight to the point.]
I must know. For those of you who are in contact with the spirits here, what use do you find in their power? Especially in combat. I might even have the patience to listen to a story or two regarding that, as I find it incredibly important in this matter. [He glances off to the side, knowing how this goes in Luceti.]
I know some of you would prefer to speak in person about such things. I'll be at Mythoria Café later tonight. But I won't stay long.
Action:
[As always, he's easily found. During the day, either at House 29 or the Battle Dome training, with both his sword or with his abilities. He does keep his word, appearing at Mythoria Café after he's done training and showered for the day.]

Re: [Action]
You will set up the program as you usually do with the normal dampeners that impede your abilities. These bands though do the exact opposite for me, amplifying my strength to be about par to your own.
[Action]
You mean to tell me you've invented a machine that allows you to ignore the power cap to your own body? [This is really, really important to him. Unimaginably important. Explain to him, he needs to know! Though the technology probably doesn't work in the way he's hoping it does.]
Re: [Action]
[The Vulcan finishes putting on the cuffs...] Are you 'game'?
[Action]
Of course I am. I can still crush you even if I'm the one with the handicap around here.
Re: [Action]
[Spock clasps his hands behind his back, looking ever so smug.]
[Action]
Alright, I'll take that chance. If you can defeat me, then maybe I'll let you experiment on me for one whole day. That's what you scientists like to do, isn't it?
[Not like Bulma doesn't already use him for testing all her new products anyway.]
...But if I win... [He lets it trail off.]
Re: [Action]
Do you have something in mind, or shall I make a suggestion?
[Careful, the Vulcan might have something up his sleeve.]
no subject
You'll continue to design difficult simulations for me to train in, a new one every two weeks for the next six months. I think that's a fair trade if I'm to let you conduct any sort of experiment on me.
coin flip? Who wins?
[Spock presses a few buttons outside the simulation room door panel. Soon it buzzes to life, and the door swooshes open.]
After you.
A coin flip sounds good, heads Vegeta wins tails Spock wins how about that?
Now don't be too sore when I beat you.

That did not go as planned.
this is why you don't trust canadian coins
Come Spock, better luck next time. I'm sure you learned something in there.
XD
I learned that had I still had access to a proper lab, failure would not have been the result.
However...
[Spock stands up straighter.] I will keep my end of the deal. But I was also hoping that we could do this again when I have made improvements on this faulty device.
no subject
I expect excellent simulations from you Spock, consider this a challenge in its own. [His smile is smug, even through his lackluster "good sportsmanship" that he's portraying.]
no subject
...not that that would have accomplished anything in the first place. Either way, Spock looked annoyed, but he nodded.]
Very well, if anything, this will keep me busy.
Until next time, Prince Vegeta.
