11th Taunt | Action
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.]

[Action - One Puny Human Coming Up!]
[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
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] 83c SHE IS BACK TO AGGRAVATE
It was tested scientifically, of course.][Fortunately even winded and on her back, she has her reflexes. Without thinking, she rips open a tear and suddenly there's a hammock between him and her. It might break his fall, at least...?]
[Action] GOOD GOOD
Totally tested by science!Thankfully he falls right into the hammock, feeling weak and in a lot of pain. He groans, trying to make heads or tails of what just happened, quickly realizing that someone had pulled on his tail. He rolls out of it, landing on the ground, down on all fours and attempting to stand up, tail now flopped beside him.Ow. That hurt. He forgot how much that actually hurts.]
[Action]
[After a moment she rolls over and notices he's in pain.] I'm sorry! [She hits the hammock as she tries to stand up and has to take a moment to push it out of the way.] Sorry, it was just a reflex, are you alright? [She crouches down next to him.]
[Action]
What the heck happened? Are you the one responsible for this?
[Action]
That? Yes-- it was the only thing I could think of, though! And really, you grabbed me first.
[Action]
I grabbed you? What are you talking about. [He doesn't remember doing any such thing.]
[Action]
[Action]
Yes, it's a tail. A tail that's been getting into mischief all day. [He doesn't glare at Elizabeth, but rather, he shoots his tail the dirtiest of looks.]
[Action]
[That sentence suggests that the tail, which is seemingly attached to Vegeta, somehow has separate sentience. And really, she has no idea how that would work.]
...This is the first time I've heard of only a tail getting into trouble, so I have no advice at all.
[That's really the only thing she can think of to say right now.]
[Action]
It's not supposed to. It was shifted like that after I returned to Luceti after having it reconstructed. [It's now that he manages to stand up, brushing himself off.] You didn't have to pull on it, you know.
[Action]
Is it okay?
[Action]
It's fine. Better than expected. [The Malnosso, despite being assholes, do good work.]
[Action]
...
[Yeah she's got nothing.]
[Action]
[So he just smiles at her.]
You've never seen an alien before, have you?
[Action]
[She frowns, curious.] I always thought aliens would look a little less human, though.
[Action]
[Action]
I suppose you've been to a lot of places, if you've seen people who look like birds.
[Action]
If you can imagine it, I guarantee it exists in the universe somewhere.
[Action]
I imagined the universe would be big enough to have all kinds of things and people, but I think the best thing is encountering what I couldn't possibly imagine. [Like people who can stand on their tails.] Wait, what kind of alien are you?
[Action]
But as for me, I come from a superior warrior race, the Prince of all Saiyans. [Look at him what a geek he's so proud of himself]
[Action]
[It's the entire universe they're talking about. She's not about to make assumptions.]
