“Pass.” Nappa responds bluntly.
“Aw come on, even the Captain might be able to put in a good word for ya!” Recoome adds. “You might even be able to make the Force!”
Nappa ponders it for a bit… then shakes his head. “…Pass. Don’t think I could stand all that posing.”
“Aww, but the posing is the fun part!” you exclaim, getting approving thumbs’ ups from the two Ginyu Force members. “Actually, speaking of, since we’re gonna be fighting tomorrow and everything, got any ideas for poses?”
“You see this kid gets it.” Guldo comments to Recoome. “Much like Maple, honestly.”
“Well, I say this because my best skill probably would look even better with a nice pose or two to go with it, y’ know?”
“We’d done some research prior.” Pantea begins as she approaches. “But it’s always good to get the opinions of those who’re experts in the field.”
Nappa seems to roll his eyes at this, though Krillin elbows him in the side. He then glances at you and expresses, “Focusing too much on it always seemed like wasted effort to me. I’d rather keep the fighting to, you know, actually fighting.”
“It’s another display of skill.” you point out. “Coordination, adaptability, and a bit of style on top of it all.”
“Yeah! Captain has us practice to make sure we’re able to work together better. Builds teamwork, y’ know?” Recoome agrees.
“What do you have now?” Guldo inquires.
“Well, when I transform, I go for this…” You show off your transformation pose.
The four-eyed alien nods. “Okay, okay, and what does your partner have to back it up?” he questions, pointing at Pantea.
She blinks in surprise. “Uh. Well, I guess I could try something like…” And she does a perfect Moon Princess Pose… which gets a clap from Fu, who FOR SOME REASON is watching you all. You try to shoo him away.
“Hmmmmm…” Recoome murmurs. “They’re nice individually, but they kinda lack a bit of teamwork, y’ know?” he says.
“Hey, Nappa, got a request.” Krillin speaks up. “Doesn’t have to be super flashy, but why don’t we try for a victory pose ourselves?”
He frowns, and looks like he’s about to say no, but takes in a deep breath and counts down from five. “Victory pose, huh?”
“If you don’t like posing in the middle of a fight, that’s fine, but doesn’t preclude showing off a little if you win, right?” the shorter man suggests.
Nappa… seems a bit more agreeable with the idea. “Huh. All right, I’ll entertain this idea.”
