We Are Our Avatars IX: Act V: The Sabotage of the Scandolous Saurian Scoundrels (Open)

[Kirke]

You pause and hesitate, wondering how someone could be unknowing on what chemical rockets were. Not wanting to get into a long-winded explanation, and also quite dumb-founded, you ask EMily if she could please tell Vicky how old-fashioned rockets work. You check the current location and are glad to find that you are a considerable distance from the coast.

Tavish kept staring at Goku's hair. "You could impale someone with that hair. It looks like one a' me sticky bombs..." Tavish said in awe. He pulled out one of his spiked sticky bombs and held it in front of him to compare it with Goku's hair.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus was not convinced by Sophia, but decided not to push, looking away to give the girl some privacy. Hearing Tavish explain teleporters, she resolved to do some research later.

 

[Slenn]

EMily's eyes widened slightly as interest was piqued. She loved explaining things.
"Ahhhh... that's interesting. How are you able to tell?"

"While I do not practice martial arts, my skills are that of a different specification. I am a scientist, and my gift is that of sensing electromagnetism and harnessing its powers. Is that what you were referring to?" She hypothesized.

She then had to explain to Vicky something that was requested
"Well, rocket boosters work by taking a few chemicals and igniting them, and guiding their flames down a tube and out a cone. The flames then produce what's called thrust."

 

[Saltyk]

Goku looked at the bomb in Tavish's hand, then looked back at him. "Well, I have used headbutts in plenty of fights." He replied rather matter of factly, not quite getting the joke that Tavish made.

Goku turned to EMily, and smiled before explaining. "I can sense the Ki energy of living things. So, I can sense how much energy you possess." Noticing that she called herself a scientist, he added, "I know a few scientists. My friend Bulma and her father. And my wife wants our son to be a scholar."

 

[Slenn]

"Ah... a very keen ability. What's your world like? What does your friend research as a scientist? "

 

[Drakmorg]

Vicky stared at EMily for several seconds after she responding, hoping she would have said something along the lines of 'just kidding' afterwards.

"How?... But also why?... I mean, who honestly thought that was a good idea?"

 

[Zepherus14]

Sophia continued to look at Samus for a short time more, realizing that Samus was now leaving her alone. She glanced around at the other people before a slight bit of turbulence made her close her eyes tight again.

 

[Slenn]

"That would be Robert Goddard, the father of rocketry. He was inspired as a kid by small rockets set off for fireworks. He created all the engineering necessary for a stable rocket, at least in my history. Granted it took a plenty of trials. But rockets are a massive engineering feat, making some of the best spaceships and, indirectly, explorers to pilot them."

 

[username sucks]

The turbulence made Tavish drop his bomb on the floor of the ship, where it stuck in the ground. Tavish cursed as he pulled his second bottle out of his pocket and held it like a club. "Bloody hell, I hate wasting bombs."Tavish said, raising the bottle above his head in preparation to hit the bomb on the ground.

 

[Saltyk]

"I'm from Earth. Honestly, it doesn't seem that different from where we are, but I can't seem to find anyone I know." Goku replied to EMily.
"Yeah, I learned that technique from Kami. It certainly is helpful to know where powerful people are."

He looked up towards the ceiling and thought. "Well, they own the Capsule Corp. And frankly they seem to make just about everything. I've seen everything from mini-fridges to planes, cars, and houses. No idea how they manage to get them into such small capsules, though."

 

[Kirke]

You look back to reply to Vicky when you see Tavish about to hit the bomb with a bottle. You shout out in surprise, telling Tavish, with a number of expletives, to stop. You then angrily ask who in hell thought it a good idea to bring out a bomb on your ship, and that whoever did so should get spaced.

 

[Slenn]

"Well I have seen clothing pop out of capsules, but nothing like a house. That's pretty cool!"

"I'm from Earth as well. Although I'm probably not from the same 'Earth' as you are. There was never a martial artist named 'Goku' in our history books. But, since we're on the topic, do you spar with others often?"

She was slightly alarmed at the bomb being raised.

 

[Drakmorg]

"Wow... Humans sure are crazy."

Vicky commented. She flinched at the bit of turbulence, going so far as to raise her arms as if to cover her head, but stopping at her chest.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

"DON'T!" Samus shouted as Travis raised his bottle to smash the bomb.

 

[Saltyk]

"History books? Are you from the future?" Goku asks EMily. "Honestly, even if we were, I wouldn't expect you to have heard of me. I'm happy with things as they are."

He then smiles and adds, "Of course, I spar with people all the time. It's how I met half my friends, honestly. Fighting them in tournaments or otherwise. Of course, I've also fought mercenary Tao, the Red Ribbon Army, and Demon King Piccolo. I fought my brother, Radditz, too."

Goku didn't seem particularly bothered by the turbulence.

 

[username sucks]

"What!?" Tavish said in suprise at Shara's and Samus' outburst. "It's not like it's gonna go off unless I want it too. I'm just tryin' ta get it off of the ground. Once it touches a solid surface, it's not coming off unless I detonate or defuse it." Tavish hit the bomb despite their protests. It shattered before each of the pieces quickly dissolved, leaving no trace that the bomb was ever there.

"There! Defused it, see?" Tavish said with a smile before putting the bottle back in his pocket.

 

[Slenn]

She made a whistle as a sign of impression. "You have quite the record if you fought an army and someone labeled the 'Demon King'. Did you fight with Radditz often? You must have considering he's your brother."

OOC: BRB. Taking care of laundry.

 

[Zepherus14]

Before the bomb had been diffused
Hearing the mention of bomb, Sophia's eyes opened wide, very much alarmed by the idea of a bomb being active in a place this high up. "Bomb!?" She stammered, the loudest she'd been all trip.

Afterwards...

After the bomb had been dealt with Sophia still seemed very much wide awake at this point, her tail puffed up to look much like she'd replaced it with a feather duster. The faint scent of chocolate could be noticed in the room for women, ones with heightened sense would notice it more so.

As time passed however the smell seemed to die down to the point that only women with heightened senses could still pick it up, Sophia calming down herself a bit too.

 

[Gearhead mk2]

Samus drew her paralyser and nearly brought it to bear, but Tavish smashed the bomb before that was possible. After realising they weren't all gibbed, Samus put her weapon away, trying to regain some composure and dignity. Overhearing Goku, she watched him, listening to his tale to try and move past the incident.
