11th Taunt | Action

[misterbrief]

Arriving back in Luceti, he returns home, genuinely happy for a change. Because all the hard work has finally paid off. A brown, long monkey tail pokes out of a hole he's created in the seat of his pants, a reward he's been seeking since he found out it was possible. He felt stronger with it. Now he could reach his maximum potential, a level of power he hasn't had access to since he arrived here. He keeps his tail unwrapped, not feeling any danger of having it grabbed or cut off.

But, the tail comes with its own problems. Problems he hasn't had to worry about in thirty years...

Action

A:

[In the morning, he's headed right for the Clothing Shop, getting new pants for the moment with holes in it for his tail. On the way, he seems to be walking normally, tail bobbing behind him, but he's still a little wobbly. So much that out of the blue, he loses his balance...and crashes, right into you. Or maybe he didn't crash into you, maybe you were just walking by when he started to faceplant and his tail instinctively just wrapped around your arm and took you with him on accident. Or maybe he's hanging onto you by his tail because you are heavy enough not to get dragged down.]

B:

[All that shopping has made him sort of hungry, so he heads to Seventh Heaven to get a bite to eat, mowing down food like a vacuum. But it won't go without something happening on the way there. That book you were reading, the coffee you were drinking, or whatever it is you've got, there's a tail wrapping around it trying to thieve it right out of your hands. He doesn't know his tail is doing that, but it's doing its own bit of exploring and wrapping around things. The Malnosso couldn't let him go home without a little bit of mischief, after all.]

C:



[After all is said and done, he's going right to the Battle Dome to test things out. Inside, those who frequent the Dome would find that the man with the golden hair isn't there today- instead there's a man covered in red fur, wild brown hair, and looking quite simian instead of human. He's going through his drills, for speed and strength, taking advantages of the shifts placed on the walls to test out the power of his ki blasts, rocking the room inside. He's coming out every hour to reset the simulation, keeping the form up. He's taller, by a grand total of two more inches, setting him at a towering 5'7''.

Though there is a point in time where he's reverted back to his base form, and he's...latched his tail in what looks like a clamp. And he's leaning forward, using his body weight to pull on it almost as if he's trying to stretch his tail. Either way, it looks painful, especially when he screams in pain, gritting his teeth. What is he doing? Who knows.]

Comments

[Action] muw ha ha for what i have planed >D

[goldenglasses]

[Vash was working at Seventh Heaven when Vegeta walked in. Busing and serving tables. He smiles and waves at the prince.] Hello, Vegeta! [He seems to have forgotten already the yelling Vegeta did at him earlier that day for his love and peace post.] Table for o- have always had a tail?

[Action] i'm already scared hahaha

[misterbrief]

[He glares over, walking toward a booth without waiting to be seated.]

Yes. Seems the Malnosso are the only ones who can manage a simple resconstruction of body parts. [Since the idiot scientists at home couldn't do it.]

Seventh Heaven

[windandrain]

[Saori is taking a lunch break from training at Seventh Heaven instead of Mythoria for once, deciding she'd prefer the pub-like atmosphere. Claiming a booth along one wall, she's set up there for a bit to drink tea, eat a bit, and read a book entitled The Rabbit's Judgement and other Tales for a little while. It's a pretty quiet afternoon, and she's drifted off at her table. Snoring softly, she's sound asleep...

At least, up until Saori feels something hairy poking around her arm. A fuzzy brown...something...protruding from the booth behind her. And for at least a moment, all she can manage is stunned silence.

What...the...hell is that thing? And why is it creeping up her arm?!]

[misterbrief]

[It's just saying hi. He's happily gorging himself but his tail seems to want to see who the pretty lady is. It wraps around her wrist, tugging lightly.]

[Action - One Puny Human Coming Up!]

[tearmeanewone]

[To be fair, when it happens, Elizabeth is in a state of newlywed bliss and isn't completely aware of her surroundings. She's walking back with groceries, giggling at something Gai wrote on her journal (because they haven't been able to stop bantering even when she went to run errands), when the tail curls around her arm and swiftly unbalances her.]

[She's flat on her back, coughing, groceries everywhere-- and she's getting dragged along.]

Hey! [She pulls her arm back as hard as she can.]

[Action] ahhh Elizabeth darl

[misterbrief]

[He was doing really good so far, having managed to walk without too many problems, but this ends his lucky streak. When he notices his tail has claimed a victim, he turns in surprise, losing his own balance when she pulls and-]

Gaaaahahhhhhh!!!!!!!

[All his strength fades from him, his body suddenly becomes paralyzed right on the spot, pain shooting through his body. He couldn't move even if he wanted to.

Except he's not used to having his tail again...so he starts to tip backwards...and it looks like he might fall right on top of her...]

[Action]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang is at the battle dome when he sees said furry man from behind. And... he will immediately dash towards him, entering a simulation room if he has to.]

It's the biggest hog monkey I've ever seen! [He's running towards him, ready to hug.]

[Action]

[misterbrief]

[His ears perk up at Aang's voice, and he turns around to see what the commotion is about. Eyes widen and he's about ready to yell but it all happens so fast.

All of a sudden there's an Avatar hugging him. He's shocked. What happened. What did he do. What's a hog monkey. Did he just call him a monkey?]

[action]

[etherealblast]

[Luck had it that Fayt had just walked out of his own simulation room, sword in hand and sweat clinging to his brow as he headed down the hallway to grab a new bottle of water. He's halfway to chugging it down when he spots Vegeta resetting his own sim, and stops.

Staring. He looked like a....] Did you turn into a .... teddy bear?

[A bizarrely menacing teddy bear with eyeshadow.

He's not even trying to be sarcastic, here.]

[misterbrief]

[An eyebrow raises as he turns and addresses the blue haired boy.]

A teddy bear? Out of everything, that's what you came up with???

[He knows he looks like a monkey but...a teddy bear?]

[Action]

[foundafamily]

[Lately, the only place he can find anything somewhat approaching relaxation is in the middle of a fight. With two friends gone, he's spending even more time in the Battle Dome than usual. When he spots Vegeta, he's just about to leave after fighting away most of the day.]

What the--? Vegeta?

[With the transformation, it's hard for Firo to recognize him at first.]

The hell happened to you?

[Action]

[misterbrief]

[He is in a fantastic mood today. So when he hears Firo's voice, and surprised expression, his hands spread before him and smiles.]

Well, what do you think?

[Action - Battledome]

[geniustheveil]

[Ami takes to the battledome when she can. It's stress relief and practical in two ways: first, she can practice her skills and sharpen her powers within the safety of its parameters; second, she can sharpen her mind by programming increasingly intricate simulations, always a bit tougher than she believes she can handle alone. (After all, she won't improve if she's not challenged, right?)

Today someone's already training, which isn't unusual, and she starts to take out a small book to read. Then she catches a better sight of the person inside, and he has her attention twice over when he screams in pain. The book is quickly forgotten.]

Vegeta-san?!

[Action - Battledome]

[misterbrief]

[He is pulling as hard as he can without yanking his tail out, crying out again in pain when he tugs a little too hard. He doesn't really notice Ami through trying to keep himself from becoming completely paralyzed, intent on getting his body as used to this as fast as he possibly can so it doesn't prove to be a problem in the future.

Casting a glance upwards, he sees her, but doesn't stop. And is fighting now not to yell because he's being watched which is the worst part of the battle dome in his opinion.]

[Action, battledome, backdated to 8/26's afternoon]

[borntorebel]

[It is Leia's usual time at the battledome when she heads to her normal room, only to find it occupied by a red-furred simian-like creature with an odd glow. Even for her, who's used to seeing a lot of different kind of humanoids, droids and...other alien life, this is new.

And she's not sure if she should shoot first and ask questions later, until he seems to transform into a human male. With a tail.

She doesn't even know what to say to that, so she just clears her throat and shifts the blaster in her hands.]

This is my usual room for Tuesday afternoons.

[misterbrief]

[Coming to the door, meaning to step out and restart the simulator, he finds himself face to face with Leia. No one's ever really told him to get out of a chamber before.]

That's too bad. You're just going to have to find another one, aren't you.

Action A!

[universal_charm]

<sub>[ Sadly, as much as Kirk wished he was, he was not strong enough to resist the forces of gravity at that unexpected tail around his arm. He wanted to tell himself he did not let out an indignant squawk as he followed Vegeta in face-planting (and he would tell himself he had not later for the record).

He rolled onto his back and pressed his hands to his face, eyes squeezed shut as he worked through the pain to determine if he had broken his nose or something. (Please no, because that was even worse than the squawking noise). He blinked open his eyes and looked over - and forgot the pain in his nose when he saw who it was. ]</sub>

Vegeta?

_{[ Because the idea of the other doing something as mundane as falling on his face had never actually occurred to Kirk. Vegeta was actually beyond that sort of thing in his head. ]}

[misterbrief]

[He only gives a muffled response, because his face is currently eating dirt. Not again. He keeps losing his balance, blasted tail.]

[He finally manages to turn himself over on his back, looking exasperated.]

I cannot believe this is happening.

[written video voice]

[pokeboy]

[ So some of us losers are trying to use the beautiful battle dome for training that doesn't rock the room. ... because they don't know how to. Rooms could even rock???

Apparently they could if the shaking that occurred told Red anything, the whole of the building even. Sure it might've been something else, though -- wow, what the heck. Not even Snorlax's earthquakes could do that.



Gotta be young.

Gotta be curious.

THERE IS AN OPEN DOOR TELLING RED TO WALK INSIDE IT. ]

WOW YOU WOULD

[misterbrief]

[He's just finishing off testing the building's limits. It held. He's impressed. Before Red is a big red monkey, with a familiar face, except with emerald eyes and wild brown hair. Not to mention the awesome red eyeshadow and eyeliner. It's fashionable. Plus the mismatching golden flaming aura around him, which lights up the entire room. He's like a super light bulb. You can't miss it.]

[action, b]

[quantumtangled]

Excuse me.

[Says a very polite, inhumanly calm voice, even though he's lost his drink to a monkey tail outside the Seventh Heaven.]

I do not recommend drinking it.

[action, b]

[misterbrief]

What are you talking about. [He gives September an irritated look. He's not aware of the drink in his tail quite yet.]

[Action A]

[onearmedexmerc]

[Evan had return to explore the plaza further, now that he felt a bit better. Still, he was getting used to his changed sense of balance and as such had failed to pay attention to his surroundings.

AS such he didn't notice the man with the tail loose his balance. At least, not until he knocked straight into him. Still recovering from being a prisoner, Evan was easily knocked off his feet, landing hard on his back with a thump and a pained gasp as the stump of his right arm glanced off the ground.]

Shit!

[Action A]

[misterbrief]

Waaaaaaah! [Neither was he ready to fall over flat on his face, crashing into Evan and finding himself eating a dirt lunch. The boy breaks his fall, and thankfully Vegeta is not a heavy man despite the muscles, rolling off of Evan to one side and muttering some kind of curse under his breath.]

[He glances over, noticing who he's just accidentally tackled, growling.] Not again...blast it...

[Action] Clothing Shop

[fashionably_strong]

[It's not unusual to see Bulla shopping, even though she does it less than she used to. Some of it is due to lack of options, and some of it is due to challenging herself and designing her own clothing.

What is unusual is the sight of her father with a tail. He hasn't had one for her entire life, so seeing him with one is a little odd. She's had time to get acclimatized to the sight of him with wings. Even knowing that saiyans are supposed to have tails, it's going to take some getting used to. Although it does occur to her right away that all of his pants are going to need alterations.]

...when did you get a tail, Dad?

[Action]

[misterbrief]

[He's not surprised to see her here either. When she addresses him, he makes his way right to her, grinning.]

Just yesterday, I was returned this morning. Looks pretty good, doesn't it.

Battle Dome

[comicallyheroic]

[So...Krillin happens to catch Vegeta before he goes into a training room. And the first thing he notices is...you guessed it...that fuzzy appendage!]

V-Vegeta, did you...go to the Malnosso and ask for your tail back?

[misterbrief]

[He turns, looking back.]

Why yes, in fact I did. You look surprised.

[ravelt]

[Haru catches Vegeta at the point where he's reverted back to his base form, clamping his tail. Haru's quick to rush in when he hears Vegeta's horrific screams.]

Vegeta, what's wro--whoa, you have a tail?!

[misterbrief]

[At Haru's intrusion, he stops his important awesome totally worth it traini- OW HE FORGOT HOW MUCH THIS HURTS HOLY CRAP.]

Yes, I have a tail! What do you want, boy?
