Hey guys. I'm very sorry, had to deal with some pretty annoying stuff related to work earlier, and it ate up a good chunk of the time I'd normally have to run. I'm sorry this keeps happening, but I don't want to leave y'all with nothing tonight. So real quick, gonna post this and then just turn in for the night.
Again, I apologize for this.
>>5648554Welp, sorry about that.
>>5647968“Hah, hell yeah! Pass me a controller, let’s see what games you’ve got!” you say as you pump your fist into the air. However, you do feel the need to point out, “Say, uh, this isn’t going to get on the nerves of… Sorbet, was it?”
“I’ve done more than enough serious work today, and I can technically claim this as looking into a potential new buyer we’ve never worked with before.” Kuriza responds, floating over and getting a copy of… a game you are DEFINITELY familiar with. “Besides, Videl introduced me to this one. What’s our win/loss ratio at this point?”
“After you started using anyone other than Mewtwo, or before?” she questions with a smirk.
Kuriza laughs. “Hah! Oh I’m gonna make sure I’m in the positive on both counts by the time we’re done.”
Before you all start, you do think to ask, “...Say, um. You’ve heard about what happened with Towa and Dabura on Earth, right?”
The boy’s face grows solemn, a frown on it, but an understanding one. “I have, yes. I’m… sorry I wasn’t able to help.”
“Hey, it wasn’t your fault it happened.” Videl tries to reassure him.
“I know, but I’ve declared Earth under my protection before, and yet when a significant threat came to it, my response was middling at best.” he tells her with a sign. “But my failings aren’t in the same league as what you and Gohan must be going through.” he acknowledges as he turns to you. “I am sorry, Son Peppa.”
You rub the back of your neck. “Hey, hey, no need to take it like that, just… well, have you guys been bothered by them recently?”
“Not to my knowledge.” he replies.
“That’s good at least.” You take one of the controllers. “Have any ideas on going forward, advice, thoughts on what to do?”
Kuriza thinks for a moment, finally sitting back down in his chair. “Any leads to go off of?”
You shake your head. “None yet. Even the Supreme Kais are working to try and help, but…”
“Well then I’d focus more on what you can do now. Train more. Figure out how to fight them better. Help those who need it.” He smiles at you. “You’ve been doing all those things already though, haven’t you?”
“Guilty as charged.” you reply with a little laugh.
“Then the last thing I have to recommend is try to relax more.” He brings over two other foam chairs with telekinesis. “Take a seat and watch as I win match after match.”
“Oh it’s on now! Let’s go!”
