06:03] [user]Timelost Gine[/user]: I'll go ahead and PM you the last post I made in logs. Currently she's at her little Capsule house set in the Void Forest. Living with Pan, a smoll Kakarot and Galen Striker.

[06:06] [user]Timelost Gine[/user]: And there may be a pastebin of logs that Fu left up for the entire event if you wanted context for that too
[06:07] [user]Saiyan Soldier Fasha[/user]: Eh I got the general idea. No worries. I'll get started on my post.
[06:08] [user]Timelost Gine[/user]: [eicon]thumbs up[/eicon]
[06:11] [user]Timelost Gine[/user] is now Do Not Disturb: If you don't understand the concept of Choices and Consequences and Dynamic Characters being the culmination of their expereinces, you can fuck right off.
[06:27] *[user]Saiyan Soldier Fasha[/user] entered the nexus via a time crack, the veteran Saiyaness turned Time Patroller looking around as she emerged near the Void Forest. She had been sent to investigate by her Supreme Kai of Time, but had no real information about the place, aside the fact that that it was some sort of anomaly. "Tch guess I better get to scouting around and see what I can find, hopefully this was worth pulling me off my last job. Why she chose me to do recon of all things..." She muttered as she cracked her neck a bit. Her scouter pinged, surprising the warrior as she looked off towards the ki signature, her heart nearly stopping as she felt not only the familiar energy, but read the unique reading on her scouter. "Gine? It can't be..." She muttered, taking to the air and heading in the direction of that ping of hers. Fasha had come across Gine a few times in the course of her duties, but this was the first time that her scouter had actually reacted to one, not only that, but it was attempting to link up with Gines as well, something it never did with the others. She had to check this out for herself.
[06:27] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] knit her slender brows with a small nod at his reaction. "Of course you could.. I mean, right now the Void Nexus is home to many of us, but you can have an actual home with walls and stuff. Even a roomba! They're adorable! Trunks makes them and they're amazing!" Chronoa was just about to gush a bit before reeling herself back and regaining some bit of poise. "Follow me. Now.. you won't be able to fly fragment to fragment like others, so communication will be hard.. I suggest you stick to the Void Forest by the Koi Koi River. it seems to be the safest area. Here.." As the kai walked onward and led way through and out of the Nest Wing building, she pulled forth a map from the air in a whirl of white-gold hues. The rolled parchment was then offered to Iskander. "This is a map of the Void Nexus as we know it right now. You're at The Watch.. so see what I mean about travel and such? However... I have one more thing for you." The next item she summoned to grip was a scouter with a green lens, offering it up to Iskander. "This is called a scouter. It's a neat gadget! You press this button here and you can talk into it, and reach out to others who have the same gadget. This dial here is good for switching channels for open communication.. This button here sends out a signal that gives your location to others.. This one here is neat! It lets you read the power levels of other beings." Chronoa beamed, seeming excited to return some kindness and items to the vulpine in exchange.
[06:28] [user]Saiyan Soldier Fasha[/user]: [sub]ack, I posted right when Chronoa did, didnt realize something else was still going on.[/sub]
[06:28] [user]Chronoa O Clock[/user]: [sub]Two scenes can happen. We had three earlier. [/sub]
[06:29] [user]Saiyan Soldier Fasha[/user]: [sub]ok just making sure~[/sub]
[06:33] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] slowly, and rather awkwardly reached out to take the map after he followed her. He unrolled it and stared at it, his features furrowing as he focused... Before sighing in embarrassment, and admitting defeat. "I... Can't read Ma'am...Never went to school... I was raised tending the land and livestock.. "He spoke up, the quietness of his voice just dripping with anger at himself, and shame. But then, she held out the scouter and he looked at it in confusion. Iskander slowly picked it up, having never seen electricity or screens like this. He seemed to examine it for a moment and listened to what she said. "Wait.. Open Communication? You mean that I can speak to somebody when they are not within earshot of me!? "His voice rose in awe at what he was staring at, before he turned to look at her.

And he just gazed at her for a moment, before looking out across the sky and quietly sighing. "How much are these things work Chronoa? Such.. Magical items surely cost a pretty coin. Please... If it's valuable ma'am I can make it without it... I don't want you spending a lot on me... I have no way to return it.. "

Now that they were outside, and the sunlight was hitting him and they weren

Now that they were outside, and the sunlight was hitting him and they weren't in a panicked situation, more features were visible about him. His face, albeit covered in brown fur, had many patches of grey that showed thick, and thin scars crisscrossing over his face and head. There were even a few visible underneath grey patches on his neck. His armor showed tears and dents, gashes and dings visible underneath the black leather, and even his denim jeans showed rips. The chainmail under his arms showed a few missing links, and his helmet showed a myriad of dents and scratches. Iskander let out a quiet huff, looking up at the sky before bringing his hand up to gently run over his neck. "I've been free for a month... And it's still amazing to look up at that sky and know that nobody is putting a collar and chain on me anymore..."

[06:48] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] had.. never heard that one. Can't read?... Chronoa was born into divinity and was a scholar. His tone brought a flush of red to Chronoa's cheeks as she fumbled a little. "Ahhaha.. I'm sorry! Hah.. I.. well.. I can at least point out the areas and tell you their names. Would that help?" The kai rubbed at the back of her head in further nervous fashion, only to actually bounce back and.. hover in place from his sudden raise of voice. "Y-yeah, yep.. sure can! This technology stuff is really neat, right?!" She laughed softly and touched down, only to give the vulpine the most blankest of puzzled looks. "How much?.. Pretty coin?.. Spending?... Uh..." Her jaw dropped a bit at the foreign concepts. Chronoa was still getting the finer points of social aspects, including currency, despite it was a thing in Conton City and popular among many patrollers.

His scars... They actually reminded her of Bardock's a bit.  Chronoa glanced to her healed arm then back to Iskander with a tilt of her head. It was a big reminder of mortality. "Free.. for a month.." There it was, the guilt of having banished Demigra for.. millions of years.... While he hadn't been chained up or tortured, Chronoa knew of the isolation-- it was something she had subjected herself to. Swallowing hard, she forced down the feeling and instead went to take hold of his paw. "The scouter and map are yours! So.. let's go find you a rock!" Had she managed to grasp his hand, Chronoa went to take flight, her aura of soft white and gold enveloping the vulpine in a hugging warmth much like a soft breeze on a summer's night.
[06:56] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] chuckled q uietly as he stared down at the scouter, just examining it. However, he then noticed her hovering up into the air, and lifted his gaze to just watch, a look of awe across his face. But then, he felt her reaching down and taking hold of his paw. His paws were large, and completely covered in steel plates except for a leather grip on the palms and inside of his fingers. He gently gripped her paw, clearly doing his best not to squeeze very hard as he tucked the scouter and map into a pouch at his side. "Well, Thank you so much ma'am... So, how are we... "And she suddenly lifted up.

Iskander's entire body tightened up as he howled out in shock, his paw clamping down on her hand. Of course, with gods and other beings around, they would be much stronger than he was. But, even for such a large, athletic creature, his grip was incredibly strong from years of combat with a flail and shield, and growing up with farmwork before that. His other paw came up and, Iskander not thinking in his panic, grabbed a hold of her waist. He hugged himself close to her, slowly stopping his roaring of a shout. "FOR THE LOVE OF THE FATES, DON'T DROP MEEEEE!"

Iskander shouted out, his armor clattering in the wind as they flew, the male hugging close to her as he tightly closed his green eyes..... Chronoa having found the one thing in life that came close to actually scaring him anymore...

[07:05] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] couldn't help the mirthful laugh that escaped her, a drastic contrast to how miserable she had been before Demigra came along and healed her. His armor was of no problem or hindrance for her, but she was noting the feel of it... even as his grip tightened hard and switched to her tiny waist! Chronoa's face took on the most brilliant or red as her arms flailed a bit before she stilled, with them hovering there. "Waaah! I-I won't drop you! I'm not that clumsy!" Indeed, her aura kept them both afloat over the Nexus, revealing the seemingly limitless drop into the void beyond those floating fragments that landscapes inhabited.

Support..
It was something she was trying to get better at.

With the vulpine having such fear, Chronoa had an idea. "Kai Kai!" In a blink, he would feel the ground under his feet as the two were transported down to the ground of the Void Forest, just along the shore of the Koi Koi River. Chronoa was in the air still, but her meager weight was in his arms given that he was standing now. "I'm so used to people understanding the basics of ki and everything, I guess I forgot that not all mortals are used to such, even if they can't do it themselves. Sorry! Are you alright now, Iskander?"
[07:09] [user]Saiyan Soldier Fasha[/user]: [sub]gonna save my post for later since Gine passed out.[/sub]
[07:09] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] just kept his eyes closed, not able to see the beautiful sights of the ground below him. He then heard her shout out, and felt his feet pressing against solid ground. Iskander slowly opened his eyes, blinking the fear out of those glittering orbs before he looked at her, and realized that he had grabbed her waist, and squeezed her hand. Instantly, the vulpine tugged away from her, bringing his paws down to his side. "Ah! I am sorry ma'am! I didn't mean to grab you... It was just.. A response...The time that I come from, going airborne above head height often meant injury or death.. And I kind of panicked... Yes.. I'm fine....."

But then, he looked down at her hand, before he swiftly looked around the forest, and down the shore of the river, trying to hide the embarrassment clearly visible upon his face. "I'm sorry Chronoa... I didn't hurt your hand did I?"

[07:28] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] 's cheeks reddened as well.. the jig was up. The last thing Chronoa wanted was for him to feel duped or lied to! So she landed before him and stood proud with hands grasping her hips and chin held high-- a far cry from the vulnerability displayed before him earlier. "It takes a lot more than that to hurt me! I am.. the Supreme Kai of Time! Or uh.. Lord of Time, Goddess of Time, Time Lady whichever wording gets the point across! I'm not as fragile as I look! You just.. ehehe... happened to catch me on a REALLY off day. It was probably less the direct hit and more of the fact that I'm.. more on my own than I realized in this big battle here. Still! A little tightened hand grip won't do any harm. I've taken on WAY worse over the years! See.. right now I'm trying to preserve this time and the existence of all inhabitants here from the distortions and evil of the Dark Empire and their meddling. Those guys are the worst! That's why we even call those jerks Time Breakers. Today you got to see two of their Demon Gods in action as well as the son of their Queen Towa, named Fu. The Saiyan, the guy with the big forehead is named Vegeta. He's a prince but that doesn't really matter anymore. What matters is that he too has access to godly ki and can utilize it, just like the gods or kai, such as myself. Of course no one can handle time like I can! That's all the amazing me! But yeah.. umm.. they're pretty terrible. Me and my assistant Trunks and Bardock run the Time Patrol, people from across the multiverse and all of time who come together to protect history from being altered and correct timelines, making sure times don't get lost or broken if we can help it. We preserve the records so things can happen as they have to keep the natural balance."

[07:45] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] blinked in surprise as she struck that pose, the taller vulpine gazing down at her. And then, he juts quietly listened to all of her words, a curious look upon his face. Once she finished, Iskander let out a quiet chuckle, before nodding his head. "The sacrifices of the good will always outweigh the deeds of the wicked.. What many sacrifice for evil, those that fight it sacrifice more.. But they sacrifice themselves, where as Evil sacrifices others... "Iskander slowly sat down on the river shore, gazing down along it before he looked back at Chronoa. He began to quietly speak, his voice still soft and deep as he began to unbutton and unstrap his armor.

The first part that came off was his arm pieces and shoulder pads. He slowly unstrapped them tugging the leather and fabric covers off to reveal muscular forearms. But where some had large mounds and bands of muscle, Iskander had tight ropes trailing over his arms. And even on his arms, especially on his elbow and hands, one could see a myriad of grey patches of fur. He then slowly went about untying his chestpiece, before suddenly pulling it away.

His chest was broad, but much like his arms. Instead of thick mounds of muscle, the vulpine was covered in tight bands and ropes of it, giving himself a much more athletic appearance than a body builder strength one. He wore a plain white linen covering his chest, as he brought his knees up and rested his elbows on them, looking over the river as he spoke.

"It sounds like you are under more stress than you put off. I was talking about losing ten years of my life, yet I'm sure a goddess of time has suffered for millennia... I'm sorry about my ignorance. And from what it sounds like, you have been battling some horrid people and creatures, and those that are incredibly strong... I wish I could help, but... I'm just a farmer at my core...Sure, I can don my armor and do battle with simple creatures, and fight wars...But not against what I saw. They were clearing parts of the earth with those damn Ki attacks.....I mean, I can cultivate crops and prepare salves and provide help like that, if it will be allowed... But I don't know if I have any Ki inside me... I've never shown anything special in my life except for being tough and determined...
[07:45] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] Wait...So your telling me... You have control of time? Wow...Chronoa...You are far stronger than I ever would be. Until I came to terms with what had happened.. If I could control time, I would've changed it all that happened to me and fixed it all without even thinking of the consequence.. It took a long time for me to learn that things happen for reasons..

And don't worry... We all have off days..."And with that, the vulpine slowly reached over to pat the ground beside him, as he dug around in yet another pouch at his waist. He pulled out a few small twigs and sticks, and blocks of wood. Iskander slowly aligned them into a pile, before pulling out a small flint and steel, and a pouch of wood shavings. He put the shavings into the pile, and began to strike the flint until the sparks ignited the shavings. Slowly, the fire began to rise and take over the twigs and blocks, Iskander making a tiny, portable camp fire as he looked back at the Supreme Kai of Time. "Sit....I think of all of us... You need to relax... Let me make you a hot cup of tea, and just listen to the sounds of the river, or sit here and talk. We all need to take some time to just... Listen to a fire and enjoy a cup of tea..."

Iskander then reached over and grasped a hold of his shield. Now that chronoa could see the underside, it was clear that the shield was much thicker than it looked. He pulled open a few latches, and a compartment was shown. Iskander pulled out a small pot, and two small steel mugs. He stood up and slid down the banks to the river, filling the pot up with water before clambering back up them. And he put a small wire mesh inside the pot, about halfway down, before reaching into his shield and pulling out a piece of linen tied into a small bag. He set it on the wire mesh, before closing the pot and setting it onto the fire to heat up. Iskander leaned back and looked over at the Kai, watching her for a moment.

"I want to help..."Was all he said, in a clear, definitive tone. "I want to mean something more than just a prisoner, or just a farmer. I want to help. Out of all the things I had to fight, all the wars I've been in... I never supported the cause. From what I hear... You have a noble cause... And I want to fight for something right. I want to save lives... Not take them..."

[08:15] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] beamed to herself as she tucked her hands back to her hips, casually watching Iskander remove his armor bit by bit. Sure, she was familiar with vests and Saiyan armor pieces and the like but this was.. was vastly different! It reminded her of armor she had read about times long, long past. His words also had her thinking with a thoughtful sound as her gaze turned skyward. "Suffered for a millennia.. Hmm.."

"Strange you put it that way. At the same time, ten years for you may not seem like much to myself, but for you, it's a drastic amount due to lifespan and existence. You don't need to apologize for not knowing things. I'm not some stuffy kai from Otherworld! The fact is that people shouldn't know about me or the workings of space-time, and them learning is mostly what caused the creation of the Time Patrol, aside for the need as others of great power began messing with time. In all actually, if things had.. gone as intended.. well.. not as initially intended, but as they were set in motion, I prooooobably would be spending another 75 million years in solitude at the Time Nest.. and Demigra would still be sealed away likewise in the Crack of Time..." It was a bit to think about, prompting her to copy Iskander's pose and settle down next to him, arms hugging her legs to her chest.

"Mortals are not meant to take on gods, but some do ascend beyond what is expected. That said, ki is the life force in all things. It may function different for you, but it's still there, even if by another name. As far as farming.. well.. never discount it. I mean, that's how food is grown and even Lord Beerus, the God of Destruction loves a good meal!" She laughed and settled her chin down, hand reaching forward and just calling up a bit of the water to swirl into the form of two circling koi fish. "That's the greatest temptation, to alter the past for your desire. I.. deal with others trying to force that on a regular basis. It's pretty complicated! Few understand the intricacies and fewer still can resist the opportunity.." Like Demigra.. Chronoa found herself once more staring at her healed arm as the water koi fell back into the water-- only they weren't just water, as in the liquid. The two fish seemed invisible there in the water of the river, but their motions and glimpses of body and form pushing against the currents showed otherwise-- they were real and alive?

She watched him with the fire, quirking a slender brow with an odd little smile toying across her features. "Sit and talk, huh?.. I used to do that, some time ago.... Okay, a long time ago. But I welcome the tea, so thanks!" Chronoa hadn't done anything like this in.. well.. she couldn't remember when! Being at the Time Nest was all she knew for the longest time... and back then, well.. things were different.

"Noble cause?... ..We sure do! The Time Patrol is all about the pursuit of corrections and preservation. But don't think you don't matter, okay? You do mean something more than you think, even if you don't see it. Still.. We can get you set up proper at The Watch or here, and you can take History 101 and be told all about some of the things that have happened, as well as watch some of the records. When you can read, then you'll have books! You'll receive training and I know a human named Galen Striker who would probably be your best bet for learning about ki and unleashing the powers inside you. While doing that.. maybe you could set up a garden at The Watch? I have a few senzu beans and it requires some special care to grow them. But between us, we could probably do it together, so long as they take." Hear yellow earrings bobbed from those pointed ears as she nodded to her own ideas.

[08:38] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] quietly listened to her speak, as he went to rummaging around in the shield at his side. Iskander pulled out a small wrapped bundle, and opened it up on top of his shield. It was a piece of parchment, with a mound of honey sealed in a vial. Beside it, in a few other vials, were a set of spices and herbs. Iskander, with the tea pot growing hot, reached out and opened it up, the fire not seeming to bother him even if the smell of burnt fur was faint, until he opened the pot and the smell of cooking tea filled the air. Iskander let it air for a moment, before he took a scrap of linen and poured a few tiny piles of spices. It was a pile of peppermint, lemon balm, and chamomile. He tied them all into the pouch, and tied a piece of twine around the top to seal it, before setting it in the pot beside the bundle of tea leaves. He then closed the pot.

His gaze lifted up as he watched those koi fish as she created them. A small smile came to his face, as he gazed at them. "Just like Ying and Yang, the stories from the Eastern countries. Life and death... Love and hate. Life must be perfectly balanced... Yes... Everybody wishes they could redo the past, and change what happened. I wished that for years, before I realized that life happens for a reason, and even the pain and suffering is meant to be." But, as they seemed to be invisible in the water, his sapphire green eyes seemed to perfectly follow them. But then, he went back to fiddling with the tea, getting the two cups ready.

He sighed quietly as he listened to her, before nodding his head. "One must always sit and talk at least at some point. Eventually, in my captivity, once I learned that my wife and daughter was killed... I wanted nothing more than death. I begged to finally meet a mortal that could meet me on the battlefield, and take my head from my shoulders... And then I realized how selfish that was. That if I died, then the memory of them died with me.. And so, I dedicated my life to surviving, and winning my battles... But then... All I craved... Was to be able to sit and talk with somebody. Even after being beaten blood, whipped until my hide stripped from my back, even having my lips beaten with stinging nettles... I just prayed for somebody to talk to...."

His head tilted to the side as he looked over at her, giving her a small smile, showing those rough, scarred up lips. Even in those depressed, haunting eyes... There was a light of hope, of that peaceful nature still fighting."Even if it's with a complete stranger... One always need somebody to talk to. And no.. Mortals aren't meant to take on gods. But if I had to, I'd do so with a smile on my face. I may get smacked away, but that is the beauty of life, and dedication. At some point.. You must ask yourself.. What is truly in your life that your willing to give that life up for it.."
[08:38] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] At that, the fox let out a small sigh, as he then saw the steam billowing from the pot. Iskander slowly reached down, wrapping his paw around the handle of the pot, his leather gloves blocking a lot but the smell of burning fur on his wrists could barely be smelled as he pulled the pot away. He then took the two cups, and poured the boiling, steaming tea into the cups. Iskander set the pot off into the coals at the edge of the fire to stay warm with the rest of the tea in it, as he then took a small wooden spoon.

Opening the vial, he scooped one scoop each of honey out of it, and put it into the tea. Stirring it around for a moment, he then reached into his shield, and pulled out two leather cup holders. Iskander slid the cups into the holders, and set one down in front of her.

"Enjoy, Supreme Kai of Time. It's a simple brew of tea leaves and some herbs and spices. It helps relax the muscles and the mind....And I must argue somewhat with you there ma'am. Right now... In this moment, I matter less than the dirt we sit on. The dirt provides food, nourishment, structure..And life. I have nothing going for me anymore, and no purpose at this time. I'm just a wandering dead man...Waiting for my day to meet the reaper and walk out of the life with him, as an old friend guiding their comrade. But... I want to try to help.. And mean something. I would absolutely love to set up a garden to help people with herbs and remedy... And whatever these Senzu Beans are..... I'm sure that given the time, I can learn how to grow them..."

Then, The fox sighed as he looked at the water. A small smile broke across his lips as he caught the sight of those fish swimming for a moment, before he watched the currents. "We must be like water in our lives.. Water can fill any container it's put into. It flows, it moves with the way of the land. It's flexible... Yet it can crash. It can come down with an unrelenting force that not even the toughest rock can stop... "And at that moment, he brought the steaming cup up to his lips. And took a small swig, before turning to look over at Chronoa. "We must know at what times to be flexible, and roll with the blows of life.. And what times to stand tall, and crash back against the rocks in our way. I may be uneducated.. and many view me as just a brute... But I had a long time to sit and think.... About life, the future, the past... What it means to be mortal..."

[09:11] [user]Chronoa O Clock[/user]:  /me certainly wasn't her usual self today. Oh no, no, no... All of this talk of 'we' stuff and work. Of course, she might have very well meant 'we' as in the Time Patrol, who she often handed work off to.  Now THAT was normal, just like her sass. Sitting and talking? Not so much! "I haven't felt that sort of loss before, not to the degree you have. I just.. long ago Demigra and I were charged with raising the bird of time, Tokitoki." It was a tale she hadn't actually voiced to many, but Trunks knew it well and rumors spread so patrollers and others did too.. just.. not her own take on it. "We were quite the team, back then.. but he changed. He even began experimenting on Tokitoki. I found out and confronted him, only to encounter him allied with two dark wizards by the names of Putine and Gravy.. ..Gravy was the one with the hammer today, only he's far more powerful in his Demon God form. I managed to banish them to the Demon Realm... However Demigra is persistent.. creepily so! I raised Toktoki on my own and was promoted to the Supreme Kai of Time, and he came back. He wanted to take my position.. which.. it didn't bother me as much as his desire to harm Tokitoki. To remake history in his own image... I.. I had no choice.. I.... banished him again.." Her gaze lowered to stare at the water ever so distantly as that pang to her chest returned. "For 75 million years.. I sealed him away in the Crack of Time... and I spent that time alone with Tokitoki..."

She laughed weakly.. only for it to grow once more with the brightness to her eyes. "I ended up dealing with so many distortions too but my best choice was when I confronted Trunks. See, he used a time machine and went back in time to alter history! That's.. well.. it's a bad risky thing to do. His changes didn't harm things and made them better so.. I let them stay but.. well.. he.. heh.. Trunks has had one interesting history! He's the son of Vegeta, the Saiyan with the big forehead and black hair from earlier. Anyways! Trunks ended up staying on to help me and became my assistant, as well as Leader of the Time Patrol... and of course, Demigra came back. Again.. and again.. and again.. Only now with.. with the chaos of the rise of the Dark Empire and the threat of Mechikabura, he and I have joined in an alliance. I went with it because.. well.. I'd rather team with a lesser evil to defeat the greater one. It's.. kind of like old times, like today. While I can take in the wounds of others, Demigra has the ability to heal others without the transfer of injury. ..Like old times... But I know that once we defeat Mechikabura, our own war will begin again....."

The cup in its cupholder was picked up, a nod given to Iskander. "Thanks.." Taking a small sip, Chronoa enjoyed the taste and sweetness of the honey. However, as Iskander discounted himself, the cup was set down. "That's the funny thing about you mortals.. You claim that in this moment, you matter less than the dirt.. and yet you forget that this is a moment shared." She leaned over into the fox, giving him a nudge with her elbow. "You're helping me, more than you know. You mean something to me and are really interesting! You've given me a moment that.. that I haven't had any semblance of for millions of years so.. ..Thank you." The tea was picked up once again and sipped upon in delight.

"As for meeting the reaper, you got attacked by him and his lackeys today. The one with the scythe.. Shroom, the Demon God of Death and Grim Reaper of the Dark Empire. But uh.. I wouldn't recommend taking any walks with him! He's dangerous.. to the point even other Demon Gods are leery of him. Rumor has it he's a fan of friendly fire and slaughters his own underlings. ...He must have been charging up his attack while I just.. froze. I'm the Supreme Kai of Time, I'm not supposed to freeze. I freeze time!" She huffed with reddened cheeks of embarrassment. "Fu... How could he?.... ....I've known brutes. Gravy is a brute. You're not a brute, Iskander... far from it."

[09:24] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] [sub]got healed by Demigra, so nyah![/sub]
[09:27] [user]Shroom[/user]: [sub]Pfft! Healed? Soooo we get to keep havin' our fun then. Good! Ol' Bossman is [b]really[/b] lookin' forward to the show.[/sub]
[09:29] [user]Kumiko al-Khasu[/user]: [sub]I've only been here for a day... [s]even if I haven't said anything before now[/s]... and I'm already very confused.[/sub]
[09:29] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] just sat there, quietly listening to her speak as every so often, he took small sips of the hot tea. Iskander silently nodded his head as she told him the story of Chronoa and Demigra... Before a quiet sigh left him. "I know the sense of betrayal...My trainer, Aleska...He is the reason t hat I'm still alive today. When I was framed and thrown in prison, he saw me the day before the execution was to take place. Saw my body, and knew how tough I was... And he was the one that make the king decide to keep me alive and force me to become a soldier... Day after day of training, being broken, only to get stronger... He became my only friend, the only thing I looked forward to. He taught me the ways of combat, of parrying, of ignoring wounds... Until the day I found out that he was the one that ordered the execution of my wife and daughter... That was the same day I took my kings head off, and his as well... I remember. The armies of our kingdom and the enemies actually stopped in their battles as they seen me and him fight...And I came the closest to dying yet.

But then, she began to speak about the distortions and the time patrol. And Iskander went back to silently listenin, as he reached down and scratched at his stomach. His shirt lifted somewhat, showing the muscled abdomen and back of the fox man. That was where it was a mass of brown, white and grey fur. Clear whip marks of scars were visible criss crossing across his back. Gashes, a few of them still healing, ran all over his stomach and chest. Small arrow wounds, small sword cuts... There was barely an inch of flesh unmarked on his abdomen and back. He dropped his shirt, taking another sip of his cup.

But then, the Kai of time playfully nudged his shoulder with her elbow. Even through his thick fur and muscle, a slight grinding sensation of metal lodged in his shoulder was felt by her elbow. A barely visible wince was seen in the fox, before he went to respond to w hat she said. "I've.. Never viewed myself as interesting before Chronoa. I was always viewed as a simple, ignorant peasant.. And then as a brutal monster..."

He slowly stood up, the quiet sound of popping and crackling audible from his joins as Iskander crouched down over the fire. He grasped a hold of the tea pot and placed it back into the coals, before sitting back down. He brought his knees up to his chest somewhat, as he then began to rummage around in the storage of his shield. And he pulled out a small pouch, that when he opened it contained pieces of smoked venison and beef. Iskander set a few strips of the deer jerky and Beef jerky onto a piece of linen, and set it down beside the Supreme Kai of time.
[09:30] [user]Cabba[/user] has joined the channel.
[09:30] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] "Please... Try some. It's smoked deer and beef. It may not be much... But out traveling, I didn't really have the chance to make myself proper meals very often. I used to love cooking for my family, and even my friends at times, but I haven't gotten to do so in so long. And you speak of the god of death and not walking with him... I learned a long time ago... That death isn't something to be feared. It is to be embraced. A friend, to take you on your final journey of your life. We all must face it one day. That was why I was able to fight so well in battle. I was brainwashed into believing my death was fated, and I wouldn't fall until it was my fated day to fall. Hell... I still do..."

She then began to speak about not freezing, and he looked over at her. His green eyes seemed to g low slightly as a small smile played across his face, the fox gently reaching over to set his paw on her shoulder. "There is nothing wrong with freezing. It happens to all of us... Hell, the first time I went onto a battlefield, I actually wet my pants. I was pushed through the gates of the castle, and was greeted by a scene of the fields filled with dead bodies. Crows pecking at the rotting corpses, coyotes and wolves dragging the freshest away for meals, as thousands of men stepped on their dead brothers. The sounds of the swords clashes, the screaming and cries of pain. I still... To this day, remember watching as a man turned to shout orders to another troop, and a halberd struck him in the jaw, cleaving his jaw from his face, and then splitting his head in half. I got so scared I actually peed my pants... And then I realized that if I didn't fight I would meet the same fate...There is nothing wrong with freezing, as long as you work and make sure you don't do it again. And Chronoa... You haven't seen me shout out and try to rip men's head from their shoulders, or drive a shield through skulls....."

And with that, he slowly reached down. Iskander took a piece of jerky from the linen he had in front of him, a quiet laugh slipping from his lips as the pot began to heat up. "What I wouldn't give for a fresh piece of rabbit to make stew with at this time.."

[09:51] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] hadn't been exactly used to learning about others through just.. talking. Certainly not so in-depth! Chronoa flinched slightly, a visible discomfort as she imagined that must have been how Tokitoki felt when Demigra began experimenting on him. [sub]"..So used.."[/sub] It was a soft utterance, the pain of which gravitated to her eyes as she took in the sight of the marring of life through the fox's fur with that bit of fabric lifted.

"Can I uh.. ask.. what were their names?.. Your wife and daughter.." Social awkwardness didn't know if this was appropriate or not but.. she had a thought.. "I ask because.. This is a moment that will be recorded in the official history of this place and time. It will also be recorded in mine so.. even once you've gone to Otherworld, in some minuscule way, they and you will live on, even if just a memory. ..It will be my memory." Chronoa rubbed at the back of her neck, taking a large swig of her tea that caused her cheeks to puff up from just taking in too much at a time.

"I see you as interesting. I'm sure others will too! Because you are."

[sub]No. No no no. What's wrong with you, fox?! You mentioned...[/sub]
[b]COOKING![/b]

Chronoa's eyes lit up as she took the jerky with a swipe, munching on it hastily. "You must have excellent taste! You'll have to try my cooking. It's fantastic! Even fit for the gods. I've served them and other kai, Goku and even angels! My culinary skills are superb!" This exclamation ruled out everything else between her bites of jerky. "My pudding has been known to bring people to their knees!" [b][sub]BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO DIE FROM THE TERRIBLE TASTE.[/sub][/b] "And if you're so good at ripping things, I bet you'd be great at tearing up the lettuce for salad wraps and shredding the oakyoak roots thin as bean sprouts!" Did she really just gloss over all of that talk of gore and depth?... Yeup. Chronoa could prattle on about cooking for days.. [sub]JUST DON'T EAT HER COOKING.[/sub]

[09:57] *[user]Shroom[/user] [sub]doesn't have to do a damn thing to win this war. Just let Chronoa feed her people.[/sub]
[09:57] *[user]Conqueror Iskander[/user] slowly drained his cup of tea, as he quietly listened to her. He went about pouring himsel fanother, and then reached over to fill up  her cup of tea. Iskander set the now empty pot off, as he sighed to her question. He slowly sat back, reaching up to gently run his fingers over the green necklace adorning his neck. "Katie and Alexis.... Katie was my wife, and Alexis was my baby girl...Thank you... That.. Comforts me more than you know.. "

And with that, he took a swig of his drink before he heard her speaking about cooking. Iskander just watched her with a curious eye and a small smile. He didn't see any reason to not try her cooking. Even if it is a horrendous, terrible taste... The fox had been forced to eat absolutely grotesque things just to get any source of nutrition. He looked over at her, his mouth opening in a quite yawn as he then let out a small laugh. " I'd love to try your cooking at some point. I'll never turn down free food.. Especially if it's not meat cut off dead bodies. If I don't have to fight maggots for usable pieces, then I'll be happy with it... "
[09:58] [user]Conqueror Iskander[/user]: [sub] May... End up being the only person able to digest the Supreme Kai of Times food. And sorry about the smaller post.. I may end up going as I just fell asleep laying down on a broken, hard w ooden bench..[/sub]

[10:06] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] listened and enjoyed her tea and jerky with the strange armored vulpine. His words about her cooking brought on such a  pleased wiggle of her form as she finished her cup. Talking was good and all, but that yawn was an indicator. Having left Iskander with a scouter and map, Chronoa left him to his survivalist ways as he grew tired and returned to The Watch... It would be nicer to flop her butt onto a couch rather than the ground.
[10:07] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] yawn
[10:08] *[user]Life Goddess Cetrion[/user] palms a yawn of her own as well.

[10:08] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] this is the end times
[10:09] *[user]Life Goddess Cetrion[/user] raises an eyebrow.
[10:10] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] should.. probably tell Trunks about how Fu apparently betrayed Vegeta, who betrayed them, and how she got surrounded by demons and had to kai kai herself and a fox person to safety.. ...and how Demigra healed her since she took on a direct hit from Shroom.. ... ... Nah. Paperwork about it is on his desk!
[10:11] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] ah dammit he fell asleep can he trust no one to actually be wary?
[10:12] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] officially has even worse trust issues now. So much betrayal!
[10:12] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] Dont worry boss, you still have me.
[10:14] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] trusted Trunks to get the vests and patrollers and trusted his father. She got ambushed instead. But Trunks is still best Trunks and good Trunks.
[10:16] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] father is...father, he can't really do much more than give the warning of 'please don't make him angry or let him get himself killed' and he was...PRETTY sure he picked a good team of patrollers but apparently not ;; but..at least he's still good.

She's keeping herself in shape after the other day. She still felt the surge of ki from the Spirit Bomb she absorbed, and it felt odd to have so much power to throw around for once.
[10:50] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] [sub]It's a lot of paperwork. And no doubt there's a service charge and late co-pay bill pertaining to Demigra's aid along with a list of expenses itemized by Robel. [/sub]

[10:56] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] had slumped over across her desk with cocoa cup in hand, lazing there in exhausted fashion. She had yet to even bother with tending her clothing or anything else, but kept glancing at her healed arm. It wasn't just the fact that Demigra had healed her, but what he had said... and how he said it. Trunks would also find that there was a new stack of paperwork on his desk pertaining to a new recruit-- Iskander. It had his name and home of origin, classing him as an out-worlder from an unknown universe and a primitive time. She was having the vulpine man enrolled in a number of classes, including History 101 and had a note for the basics of reading and writing as well as understanding ki, set up for two tutor slots but only filled out one of them, with Galen Striker's name. Trunks could do the registration and rest of that stuff. Right? Riiiight. At least she wrote down that she gave him a scouter, and she even remembered to add the scouter's number.. ..in the wrong area. Eh, he'd figure it out!
[10:57] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] would also be mighty upset if anyone did any sort of training or fighting near her Nest Wing. Ahem...
[10:59] *[user]Maxene Sita[/user] is FAR from the Boss's quarters. She is more working out, not doing damaging things, Chronoa! [sub]Please don't hurt the fluffy fox. ;-;[/sub]

[11:06] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] perhaps further pushed away potential fans by the fact that the area which unfortunately wasn't sound proof had some of the most brutal and unforgiving aggressive instruments playing along with vocals one wouldn't think Lumen had in him. Inside that studio, Lumen wore a snazzy white suit with a plethora of adornments that don't at all match the subject matter or style of music he was recording. He looked like a man trying at the role of an idol. Appreciation for that sort of music could easily give the listener the idea that it somehow works if one considers it all in one package.

[11:35] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] set aside his recording project to get himself ready for a trip to the Watch. After taking his costume off to put on his regular clothes, he heads over from West Fragment to the Time Nest. Anyone watching will see a figure of a tall and skinny man with his hands in his pockets falling so slowly that he's essentially performing the most casual air glide ever. No mistaking it for flying. Once he landed, he sought audience with Chronoa.
[11:37] [user]Excaliburn[/user] has left the channel.
[11:37] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] slurped at her cocoa, all for the sake of adding some sound to the building. It was too quiet, but then again, she was quiet now that her new acquaintance had parted ways for a bit. Between watching Gravy attack Vegeta on Fu's behest, knowing Vegeta led them into some sort of trap, Shroom going after her and Gine and Iskander, only for Fu to jump in against him.. well.. Chronoa's forehead hit the desk. "One of the few times I leave the Time Nest... and look at this mess.. Ugh... It's worse than I thought and...."

Another large slurp of cocoa had the cup drained, and said cup was left to roll across the table and trail droplets. Trunks could clean it later. ...Trunks had a lot of cleaning.. and paperwork.. Yet Iskander stood out in her thoughts for some odd reason.. and the small matter with Demigra was just no small matter to her, as she kept glancing at her arm for nooooo reason.

Distracted lazy kai is lazily distracted. One of the patrollers led Lumen to where Chronoa had holed up in her Nest Wing, where he'd get a gander of the Supreme Kai of Time in all her glory!!--- Rolling her forehead on her desk, muttering to herself.

[11:44] [user]Timelost Gine[/user]: She's already Chaotic Neutal with an Evil lean due to all the 'Hello. Frieza brought me here to TEACH YOU THE GOOD WORD OF DEATH' cleansings before she became a mom. That she really never atoned for so that may serve to bump that bar....I unno, like 4

[11:46] [user]Maxene Sita[/user]: [sub]I mean... I like Gine as a mom so her being a good person but with leanings to being a little evil is okay.[/sub]
[11:47] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] stepped into the Time Nest looking like he didn't want to venture too far in and touch things. It wasn't his place, after all, and he was oddly conscious about things like that. It's obvious in the distance he decided to keep.

"Supreme Kai of Time," he states, with his right arm curled to his chest as he bowed his torso. Before speaking again, he brought himself back up to a less relaxed posture than what he normally took. "There are things that I'd like to talk to you about."

Lumen wasn't blind either. He could see how much Chronoa already had on her plate. Regardless if the Time Patrol was a professional outfit with rules or not, it makes a man like Lumen feel bad to contribute to the work pile.
[11:52] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] peeled her face up from the table, giving her cheek a wipe with a balled fist and huffing at herself. It only took a moment for her to regain composure, casting a tired smile to Lumen at his address and bow. "Oh? Come on over and have a seat. Would you like something to drink? Eat? I made some great cookies the other day! I can make you something else too!" She slid down in her seat juuuust enough to nudge her shoe into the leg of another chair, scooting it in emphasis before she sat upright and dusted herself off a bit.

[12:04] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] 's hair flowed gently behind him as he made his approach. Being in the Time Nest somehow made him feel more anxious than going out to the far side of the nexus like he had been doing for the last week. At the very least, it wasn't making him sweat. Yet. He sat himself down, his right leg rested over his left and his hands joined and sat on his thighs. "After we speak, if you don't mind," he stated, to try to keep it from sounding like outright rejection. "I should get this out of the way first."

For the first time in anyone's presence, he took his glasses off. Held by the bridge he sat them down on Chronoa's desk. Close inspection will tell a person that there are modules installed on the glasses that look distinctly like the interface of a scouter. "It has come to my attention that two different life-threatening confrontations occurred while I was away on minor missions. However, I was never contacted to help - or at least, I thought that was the case. I discovered that even with regular scouters, they do not properly function when I use them, and nothing I do to the scouter module on my glasses changes this issue. In other words, I haven't received any broadcasts or personal calls ever since I joined the Time Patrol, and the measurement function seemed to be just as dysfunctional. All I can really get out of a scouter is general information. I'm telling you this as the reason I've not once dropped a mission to aid the other patrollers."

He seemed very calm and collected when explaining the situation, at least.

[12:17] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] nodded firmly, "Of course! I could multitask but I can give my full attention and time to you." Chronoa set both hands down right over left and leaned forward, all pointed ears. The glasses were noted, namely because Chronoa had a fascination with such things, technology even moreso! Fingers splayed then hands parted to press to the table's surface as she leeeeaned over to peer curiously. ..All while listening, of course!

"Oh... OH! Well, that's alright, Lumen. I mean, it happens and I'm sure we can get you some other device or something to work with if a scouter isn't right.. perhaps something in of its own containment field to help separate whatever may be causing its lack of access and distortions. I'm sure that Fu cou---" Could what?..... Her expression dropped just like her words.

"Ahem.. I'm sure that with talking to Trunks, something can be figured out. Maybe we'll have to think old-school... get some flares or something. The Void Nexus isn't too vast a space where they would be irrelevant, so they can be handy for emergencies.... ...like ambushes."

[12:31] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] found a glint of joy that Chronoa ended up being the woman he thought she would be. She took the issue seriously! Still, it was hard for Lumen to smile with the situation that had to be dealt with. "...I have to apologize. When I joined the Time Patrol I never divulged what I discovered my shortcomings to be. The truth of the matter is that I can neither fly nor detect energy unless it's a similar type to my own." He took his glasses back then fitted them on his face.

"I believe that something about my own ability is what's causing the defects. To rectify the issue I will not be going to the far side of the nexus on my own anymore, so that I may be available. Now, for the next issue..." The next one was significant as well and it took Lumen a while to properly articulate it.

"I also heard that there is a temporary alliance with Demigra. I've never met the man myself. What's he really like?"

"That's alright! We've had recruits who can't fly. Some have learned and for others.. well.. here, we'll just have to find a way. ...Maybe ziplines." Chronoa looked thoughtful a moment before shrugging. "It can be worked with! Some beings can't even be sensed, so I think the main focuses will be communication and transportation. I'd like you to work with our newest recruit, Iskander. He can't fly and only recently learned about ki. You two have things in common. He's a vulpine race of some kind and his planet sounds very.. uh.. primitive?"

Then.. Demigra was asked about. Immediately, Chronoa's eyes shifted to her arm, hand rising to rest against where bandages had been former. "If I had to describe him in one word... I'd say, pers-- no.. determined. He's always been full of determination."

[12:51] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] "Determination..."

Something didn't sit right with him. To hear that from the Kai, that only reaffirmed that he should be especially cautious even if there is an alliance. Briefly he looked to his left side, thinking of the last time he met someone from Demigra's faction. "I see. Then, I can safely assume that there's only the mission to consider if I ever see him or anyone that belongs in his ranks."

Iskander's new recruit status was noted, as was his inability to fly as well. He mentioned nothing about it, and instead elected to get to the next point. "I won't take up much more of your time. There's one last issue and it pertains to conduct. I..." There it was. Finally, some hesitation. "I'm aware that some of our patrollers have... interest in each other. Beyond professional and friendly relations, if you catch my meaning. I don't like to have to ask this question, but I need to know the policy. It'll also help put my mind at ease." Perhaps in his time being in the nexus he found somebody that he likes. Maybe. He avoided saying it outright. Had he been younger he probably would've appeared much less composed.
[12:54] *[user]Mirai Pan[/user] had floated within the figid wastes of the Membersnow Region for 24 hours, the howling winds sending her hair whipping about like a wild black flame. The howl of the wind and the sound of nearby monsters had long been drowned out, as the quarter-Saiyan had slowly sunken away into quietness. Her ki circulated gently within, its scalding hot nature maintaining her body temperature in spite of the deadly cold, faint streams of wispy steam exuding off of her body as any snowflake instantly evaporated on contact. So quiet had she become that not even the beasts could sense her anymore, her presence weakened to the edge of nothingness. She had been largely recovered from her recent dalliances with danger and death before, when she set out for this frigid land, but now, having had the chance to calm and center herself, Pan had officially returned to top form. Physically, but also mentally. In fact, mentally it could be said she was better than top form.

The whispers had kept haranguing her throughout her inner contemplation. The whistle of the wind sometimes seemed to carry words, spoken in voices that were all too familiar. Voices belonging to people that weren't here. She did not understand at first, but once she had reached the state where her mind was as clear and as tranquil as a mirror, she could see the truth of it. Whatever made this strange white landscape tick, it seemed to reflect things from within back at you. And, having reached that mirror-like state, the whispers had gradually disappeared. A mirror itself could not be reflected, and so tranquility had been regained.

Pan's eyes opened, a forlorn look in her onyx eyes as she stared down at a little ravine between two steep jagged crags capped in permafrost. The markings of her own crashed spaceship, from when she first came to this Nexus, were still apparent, even if the remnants of the ship that didn't get recalled back into the capsule were long since snowed over. That place was the one place remaining, the one tether that connected her to her past life.

With quiet, steady breathing, Pan lowered herself into that ravine, landing in the centre of the little ravine. It was largely protected from the coarse winds going around, and above... the colorful auroras streamed through the dark skies. Looking closer at the snow at her feet, she followed the contours of something that had a strangely regular shape. Planting a foot close to anchor herself, she sunk her hands into the snow, pulling out... the big rectangular bulkhead she had pried off to escape her burning ship that time. "Hm... This will do..."

With a loud KRANG, did she jam the bulkhead straight into the ground, standing up sort of like a little shrine within the hollow between the snowy crags. Or a large tombstone. Then, raising a finger, she molded a small jet of hot, condensed ki at her fingertip, not unlike a plasma jet, and began slowly, carefully writing on the thick slab of more or less even steel. Names came out, one after the other. A great many of them. Never before had she focused so much to write neatly.
[12:54] [user]Mirai Pan[/user]: [b]Yamcha. Tenshinhan. Chiaotzu. Yajirobe. Muten Roshi.[/b]

The memories that had gone still throughout her meditation slowly began bubbling up. Faces flashing in front of her with every name written. Some of these people she barely even knew beyond their name and the few words they have exchanged, but in the end, they fought together and died together. Another row of names followed.

[b]Piccolo. Bulma Briefs. Vegeta. Krillin. Trunks Briefs.[/b]

Her brow slowly furrowed. Even now, having quieted her mind, it was hard to avoid remembering their bodies. She forced her thoughts to veer towards their living selves. How they had lived. Their smiling faces. Well, in most of their cases. Some had never shown their smile, but she could feel pride and respect coming from each of those names, still hot and aglow in the steel. Then, her ki-imbued finger twitched, and her hand began to gradually tremble. She stepped forward to bring her finger back in range of the slanting bulkhead, biting away her last bit of hesitation.

[b]Son Goten. Mark Satan. Son Chichi. Son Goku.[/b]

The Quarter-Saiyan's breathing became shaky, and she couldn't help feel a stinging cold on her cheeks. Ahh, crying in a below -40 cold was really dangerous, you know... If you didn't have ki to keep you warm...

[b]Videl Satan. Son Gohan.[/b]

She remained standing after the ki on her finger went out, the names of sixteen warriors glowing on the steel. Was it a fitting place to put them to rest, she wondered while wiping her cheeks dry after a while. Time would tell. For now... she never really believed in it much, but this time she would make an exception. Raising both hands, she clapped them together in front of her, closing her eyes.

[i]....Don't look that sad again, stupid girl.[/i]

The words still rang fresh through her mind, tone and all.. and just that.. look....

 "But before that, he was my partner.. before Trunks. Together we were entrusted with raising Tokitoki. ......He was different back then." Aaaand right then is when Lumen's words about [b]relationships[/b] cropped up breaking through her own little rambles. "............" The red-tinged flush crept over her cheeks and pointed ears as she stared at Lumen with widened eyes. It looked as if the kai might melt across the chair to slide under the desk and shrink or lunge forth to shake the poor man with rattling questions about what he knew and who sent him.

Then he seemed insure of what to say next with his mouth slightly agape. "......" To make matters worse, he didn't know what to say in response. Something about that told him that even a Kai has emotions and interests similar to people like him. Maybe they're not so different after all. "Are..." And then, he took a direct look in her eyes. "Oh. I see." Lumen had calmed down.

"So that's what it is." What sounded like him leading into teasing Chronoa actually led nowhere that it could've. He nodded his head instead, then decided to stand up. No, he had proven to be too respectful to take that avenue. ...Right...? "Thank you. Now I know what to do with myself in the situation I found myself in.

[13:20] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] just stared at Lumen in complete and total silence.

It was ever a rarity for the sass and temper to not rear, for her to lose that certainty and pep. Lumen's words were not questioned however as she didn't want to know if she wanted to know about knowing if she did or didn't want to know so she could see about knowing. Chronoa eventually recovered and offered Lumen the best smile she could muster, hoisting up two fingers for a peace-sign, tilting her head to the right.

[13:31] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] mayhaps forgotten to actually get the cookies offered to him, but it wasn't a matter. He saluted Chronoa farewell as he did for greetings. An objection had to be tended to after he left the Time Nest. Once again, some ghost-looking man with the most casual of casual descents trailed across the sky from one place to another with his hands in his pockets, falling slow enough for wind resistance to not bother him much.

Next stop: Mesmersnow. Since he couldn't really announce that he was coming - nor did he actually know that Pan was there, she'd soon feel a familiar presence if she was still in the region. He touched down on a random mountain then decided to walk and slide for the rest of his scouting.

[13:43] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] went to collect that tipped over cup from her cocoa, only to drop it with a sudden [b]shatter[/b] across the floor.

Her residence was being bamFuzzled!
There was a Fu-nator!
She was being Fu-terized!

Chronoa narrowed her eyes and fingers flexed as she rose from her chair to stand tall with all of her opposing mighty height... chin lifted and neck craning to look up to him.

"Fu..."
[13:43] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] boss that last one sounds close to something kinky-
[13:43] [user]Mirai Pan[/user]: [sub]Yeah, and then Master Roshi blew up the moon and killed the rabbit.[/sub]

[13:46] [user]Lumen Scheudo[/user]: [sub]But it's super skinny in comparison though[/sub]
[13:46] *[user]F u[/user] , in the meantime, stared down at her... like a purple tiger on a pink mouse....

A purple tiger that puts his paw to his chest and inhales deeply and dramatically,

"Chronoa! Darn you, Chronoa! You gave me a HEART ATTACK! [sub]Almost[/sub]. Why did you follow Vegeta?! That was... that was just crazy! What would had happened if you'd gotten killed out there?! That's... that'd be [b]no bueno.[/b]"

Fu shook his head, sitting to the floor.  "Sheesh... well, I'm glad to see that Shroom didn't get you too bad."
[13:47] [user]Mirai Pan[/user]: [sub]It'd still be visible.[/sub]
[13:47] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] [sub]also would like to visit Pan if she's down.[/sub]

[13:59] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] felt her shoulders slump a bit with Fu's words but.. she actually takes a step back!

Those thin arms hugged about herself in a huff of a fold even as Fu sat, bringing them pretty much eye to eye. At least he didn't have to stoop... to her level.
"Because he was talking about you being all glaring and insulting and [b] being out to kill all murderously [/b] and threatening and that.... that's not you.. [sub]not the you I thought I knew. [/sub]  Everything he said was suspicious and at a time like this, I wasn't about to send anyone out there blindly!"

Her stance adjusted, more so that she could hold her shoulder and give it a glance. Yep! Still healed! "I've been through worse. That's all the more reason I had to go. At the very least I could have done something if patrollers were in real danger... Kind of glad so many stayed back."

Her hand shot forth, suddenly pointing right at Fu. [b]"Why would you set them up like that?! Why would you betray us like that?!"[/b]

Cool, even.

As he tilted his lips to his smile and spoke. "Ms. Chronoa, trust me, I was expecting less of Vegeta... far less, in fact. I had no intention of people actually getting hurt! Vegeta wished to have a good fight, I granted him such a request! I got what I want, he got what he want... and the Dark Empire just got robbed of some stamina and resources!"

Finger shake. "You really do not give me enough credit here. I had the situation under more control than you think! ... you and the little Saiyan woman were the variable I did not account for, but luckily.."

Palms up, a shrug came across his black shoulders, "It worked out, didn't it?"

[14:07] *[user]Mirai Pan[/user] simply stood there in front of the shrine she had made to her fallen family and friends, quietly contemplating and reminiscing as the names glowing in the steel slowly cooled down. She kept her hands clapped together, as if that would ensure they would all be sent off to heaven. Not that they had been here in the Void Nexus to begin with. They had all been killed over a year ago, why did she bother? Well... she hadn't actually had the heart to do it before. But now, perhaps emboldened by her new comrades and loved ones, she felt it was time to untangle that tight knot in her heart, and use the rope to tie up some loose ends all at the same time.

The beasts of the Membersnow Region had been awfully obliging not to bother her in these last 24 hours, either. Perhaps she simply was well enough hidden. Or perhaps none of the nearby beasts felt hungry or confident enough to take her. The strongest beasts were a bit further in, after all. She maintained her quietly praying stance, her black and red [url=https://static.f-list.net/images/charimage/13690048.png]combat attire[/url] was not that much of a funeral gown, but it would do.

These were warriors that were laid to rest here, after all.

A sudden pang of sensation shocked Pan out of her prayer eventually, her senses immediately extending to inspect the new signature they had picked up. Instantly feeling a momentary twitch of discomfort at the 'weird' presence, Pan's previously auspicious expression became a little deadpan, no pun intended. "What would he be doing here?" Judging from his movements, he wasn't aware that she was here. Still, quite a coinkidink, yes?

Clasping her hands and bowing in prayer to the shrine she had made, paying respects to all the names on it once more, she finished her business and soared up into the air, rising out of the deep ravine and soaring over the snowcapped peaks below, turning her sharp gaze in the esper's direction and swiftly flying up to him. "Lumen? What are you doing out here?"

[14:16] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] shook her head, "That's how you see it, because it [b]happened[/b] to work that way. Trust you?.. The father of my assistant tried to tip us off about something shady going on and made you out to be... be.. ..I've always thought you different from the others. But between this and those [b]Prison Planets[/b]..."

The words hung in the air as she turned her gaze away. "I think you over-estimate your control and one day something terrible is going to happen that you won't account for, won't like and CAN'T change. But it won't be you who pays that price, of course.. and for you it would just be what, a set back? A small failure? A disproved theory?..."

Her arms dropped right as she did too, flumping to the mess of floor and sending a few papers flying up with bits of dust and-- [sub]Trunks really needs to clean this place up![/sub] "Fu.. [b] how can I trust you?..[/b]"
[14:17] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] met with something he felt instinctually compelled to treat with reverence. Though he did not know what a shrine was, exactly, the appearance of Pan in his view suggested that there was something significant about the place. His nose twitched as the scent of snow, dirt, decay, and dust filled his senses, Pan's presence not quite reaching him yet.

Lumen appeared like he could blend right in if he wasn't wearing any black material. From afar it'd be harder to see him than most while on ground level. Sometimes looking like a revenant  had its perks. Lumen also seemed please to see Pan again, though not so much that he was overjoyed. He never expressed that level of emotion before anyhow. "It's good to see you, Pan." Momentarily he looked deeper into the shrine until his vision reached its effective range. "Hmm. I'm here because I felt another esper besides me some time ago, and since then, I became aware that this region existed. I wanted to scout it and perhaps find out if I was right or if something is wrong with me."

He approached, feeling as if he was okay to do so since they were colleagues. One wore armor and the other wore clothes that seemed to offer nothing in the way of defense. Perhaps he should invest in some, as well as something to keep him warm. His esper power didn't preserve body heat. "And it seems I came a bit unprepared. I don't have any bullets that can radiate heat, and I'm also out of spare grenade casings for the time being. What are you doing here?"
[14:17] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] [sub]you have the demigroomba[/sub]
[14:18] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] [sub]but it doesn't clean. It just repeatedly tries to run into obstacles and makes weird grinding sounds now...[/sub]
[14:19] *[user]Time Patrol Leader[/user] [sub]...what did you DO to it??[/sub]
[14:24] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] [sub]Why do you assume I did something to it?![/sub]
[14:26] *[user]Mirai Pan[/user] eyed Lumen as he floated before her. As usual, something appeared to be off about how he looked, but she had long since quashed those thoughts. It would be rude and insensitive to talk about his appearance now. Her 'armor' for lack of a better word, was obviously skintight and useless at keeping out cold, but luckily her ki was not. Slowly circulating as it always did, her body was like a furnase, faint wisps of steam curdling off of her silhouette to dissipate in the cold air around her. Lumen would very likely be able to feel that it was quite comfortable around Pan temperature-wise, though he might find himself on the receiving end of some abuse if he tried huddling up to her for warmth.

"Another esper? Well, if you're talking about people that give me a headache when I sense them, it's only you~" She wryly smiled in response. There was a pleasant liberty in her words and actions, her very posture and form seeming to suggest a giant weight has been lifted. A weight quite unlike the ones she usually trains with. Still, Lumen's words begged some explaining. "Hmm... espers use powers with their mind, right? In that case..." She looked down at the vast, outstretched whiteness below, her black hair blasting about in the snowy wind around her face. "I don't know its source, but you can here voices here at times. Even see things. This place... reflects things that dwell within you. Maybe that's what you felt?" She rubbed the back of her head some as she thought about it, eyes up in contemplation as she folded her arms. "Hmm, well... as for why I'm here, I... had something to bury..." She didn't feel like going further in depth about it, but there were visible streaks on her face below her eyes that suggested she had been... crying?
[14:26] [user]F u[/user]:
Fu finally stood, rising to his full height.

He wasn't a demon that was huge, or as large as some of his compatriots, but he certainly had a different height somewhere in the grand scheme of things. His knuckles to his hips, his broad chest moving up and down in a soft breath, and his eyes.. that [b]gaze[/b] not changing, argent, devious, [b]cold[/b]... and somehow, sad, but gleaming with a childishness and a trickle of doubt on his brow of a youth who was told something by an adult that they quite couldn't [b]get[/b], but went along with anyways...

That was just what it appeared to be. It was apparent that frankly, the young scientist [b]could not[/b] be trusted. His figure leaves a powerful silhouette without casting shadow. The permanent, inherited leer of a noble and the sharp jaw of a devil was just a part of his character as much as it was a part of his demeanor.

"I dunno. That's not something I can force you to do, Ms. Chronoa."

Such another simple lift of his round shoulders. He turned [sub]after brushing some dust off his butt[/sub] and side-glanced her, phalanges pushing frames back up his nose.

"If you don't trust me, that's okay. I understand your logic, but I'm going to keep doing... whatever I want to do! ... or [b]need[/b] to do."

His hand settled on his blade.

"Whatever the case, I truly do wish you luck against the Dark Empire. Even with me giving them a minor interruption.... they're becoming powerful. I can feel it."

[b]SHWIIIING.[/b]

With that, the young man was gone...

[14:27] *[user]Timelost Gine[/user] was laying down on the sofa, at her small house within the Void Forest. From the ear-splitting silence of the home, no one else save for her was at home. Her scouter was set down neatly on the coffee table, having cleaned the visor gingerly before a night's sleep that left rest to be desired. She looked as she felt, certainly not at her best. Her face was still swollen from that strike imparted by the Prince. She never understood why, though in the state of mood she was in she wasn't entirely sure she would be invested enough to care had she known.

With a slow, long drawn out sigh she palmed her swollen cheek, tracing it gently as her mind was affixed to all of her choices, decisions and experiences up to that point. One padded finger after the next, a look of complete apathy spread across her bruised face. A soured mood that would heal in time, just like that slap. What she garnered from the experience, to keep her nose in her own business.

Her son, Kakarot, and whatever family she had left was the priority however held at arm's length. She kicked her feet over the end of the couch and pinched her brow slowly, rubbing her temples and sighing softly. Hopefully there would be no more disturbances that required her attention, glassing the forest around her home forced that hand, as well as that much needed talk with the Kai of Time.

She slowly ran her palm over her face and ruffled her tail, coiling her tail about her waist as she led off to the kitchen for a glass of water. Filling that glass slowly, being idly musing of Fu and her time with him at that fountain. A temporary reprieve from all the other swirling emotions. Some good, some bad. But nearly all of them overwhelming. As she parted her lips to press against that glass and drink of it's contents her mind was set to understanding why the sudden shift.

How that sweet little boy she saw guiding her to the fountain, laughing along and trying to keep the atmosphere bright. How all of that could flit over to a demon filled with ambition, secretive and plotting. Foreboding and distant. If nothing else, Vegeta's words about his plan with him still rang true in her mind. Events not easily forgotten, though quite clearly events that didn't concern nor involve her. Learning very, very quickly to keep to her lot.

She set that glass down with a hearty gasp for air, smacking her lips and inhaling slowly noting well her shift in priorities now.
[14:28] [user]Lord Frieza[/user] is now Online: [sub]Just relaxing for the moment, nothing serious.[/sub]
[14:30] [user]Calorie Colossus[/user] is now Idle.
[14:31] [user]JenBuu[/user] has left the channel.
[14:36] *[user]Chronoa O Clock[/user] stared upwards, indeed smaller than she would be had she been standing as Fu took on that looming height to the short-statured kai. And yet.. She felt it was words just like that, which all the more separated Fu from others.  "You could force a lot... but you don't."

He was already gone of course as Chronoa spoke, just shaking her head to herself, a small smile toying across her lips as eyes shut. No words were to be had in the moment as she reclined back against a pile of books that had yet to be returned to their proper place. Chronoa wanted to trust Fu.. but she wanted to trust Demigra too.. Yet that didn't quite work out in times prior. There was no stopping Fu and little that deterred Demigra himself for long.

With that thought in mind, her gaze again crossed to her healed arm... then to where Fu had stood. "Thank you.." Aaaand back to lazing, head tilted back as she blew a wayward golden-white feather to flit to the air and watch it drift aimlessly.
[14:40] *[user]Lumen Scheudo[/user] could've sworn that for once since he has met Pan, she was actually kind of cheerful. Kind of. It wasn't enough to make him view her any differently than a colleague at that point, however. At the very least, ki warmth was good enough. It wasn't like he was feeling bad enough to need to huddle. No, what made him feel bad [s]not really[/s] was how she said what she said. "...Only me...?" He [b]almost[/b] wanted to throw it back on her as a joke to counter hers, but he had nothing witty to say. Rather, there was also disappointment that there wasn't another esper of his specific type. Lumen, rather than go further inside the temple, crossed his arms and slanted sideways while staring at Pan.

"Espers have a very high sensitivity to emotion and manifestations that come from it. In... other words..."

He feels a deathly chill that no mere weather could bring about. Whatever light was in the temple was gone when he last blinked, and in that blackness slowly crept an illusion of one of the worst enemies he ever had to fight. Its form was far too ghastly to describe with words, but sight alone feels like a massive weight bearing down on one's self that they could never hope to fully relieve themselves of. At least, that's how it felt to Lumen in that brief moment. After all, it was an illusion. It left him visibly disturbed, and without even realizing it, both of his guns were constructed and summoned out, fully loaded. "..." An illusion that was felt far too real, indeed.

Perhaps it was a mistake going there. What espers see and what other people see can very in extremes. Pan perhaps could've seen the very same thing that he saw. He really hoped she didn't. When he snapped back he realized he brought his guns out, and then he immediately deconstructed them back in the quarter second that it normally took to spawn them under a sound state of mind. He was not, however, in a sound state. By no means was that a clean use of his power since parts of it broke during the deconstruction. "Something to bury... Pan. Did you happen to see something that you have no memory of seeing before?"

[14:55] *[user]Mirai Pan[/user] turned around sharply, eyes trained in a specific direction. Did she feel something? Had she felt something? She felt a singular pulse of something... uncomfortable, but the longer she focused her and ears, the more she became convinced that what she had registered on the very edge of sight and hearing... might not have been there, after all. Even so, that short pulse of awareness had been enough to render her impressively honed muscles tight below her skintight combat suit, her fight or flight responses quick and acute as always. "Hm... must've been my..."

As she turned back towards Lumen, she saw him training both of his guns in the direction she had just been staring. Was there something after all? "Lumen? What's going on?" She turned her head back in the direction those weapons were trained several times more, but the sensation was gone. Was there really something and was it simply incredibly skilled at hiding? Pan's senses were not exactly unpolished. Even if it were a divine presence, Pan would be able to sense it. But right now? Nothing... "Is something really there? I just felt something for a split second but it was gone afterwards... Calm down, dude." She watched the revenant-looking fellow bungle with his guns, catching a few parts that fell off of his weapons, looking at them curiously. What a weird construction. She wasn't superbly talented at machines, but having kept a ship going through space for over a year she knew a bit, and this didn't look like any weapon she'd ever seen. "Looks like you didn't keep up regular maintenance." She quipped, throwing him the pieces he failed to reclaim.

His next question made her raise her brow some, though. "See something I have no memory of... Well... I didn't see anything clearly just now, but I've been meditating around here for 24 hours without anything happening. Sure, there were whispers, and occasional flashes of presence, but as soon as I entered a state of mental clarity they disappeared." She clapped Lumen on the shoulder, rather firmly. "Come on, you look even paler than usual, let's get out of here, yes?"
