[01] [Closed] ♚ A Briefs Visit
Who:
bigbingoattack,
capforthat, &
timepatroller
When: Backdated to 1/13 (6/1), closely following this call
Where: Vegeta and Bulma's Apartment
What: Time for the parents to chat up their future son
Rating/Warning: None, besides Vegeta's bad attitude
[Though the pair hadn't quite yet settled into life on Cerealia in the handful of days that had passed since their absurd orientation, there was no reason to put off this conversation with Trunks any longer. It had been about ten years now since they'd last seen the boy, the fatherless half-Saiyan from that bleak future, so now was as good a time as any to catch up and trade stories.
It also couldn't hurt to see what information he'd managed to gather on the colony and those who had brought them here as well.
Whenever Trunks would finally make his appearance, he'd see that the apartment has barely seen a change since the couple's arrival, one of the few exceptions being the expensive heels sitting by the door. However much or little time the pair actually spent in their living quarters, it was obvious neither had taken to 'settling' in.]

If they aren't lying. [He had his doubts. Downloaded? Turned into data or some complete gibberish like that? It couldn't be. He felt like himself. Bulma and Trunks seemed just the same to him as before. How could they not be real? If a Kai couldn't pull off a feat like that, then who could possibly have the power or resources to?
Vegeta's gaze flickered up to Trunks.] What have you been doing? 'Time patroller'. It stated that on your phone. Was one trip through time not enough for you?
no subject
[He shrugs, shoulders slumping a bit. This is embarrassing.]
Turns out? Time travel is illegal. ... So I got arrested by the Supreme Kai of Time. In order to get off the hook, she appointed me as commander of the Time Patrol, a group dedicated to ensuring that time travel isn't abused to cause trouble with history, or throw anything into chaos.
... I've seen everything, now. Every fight the Z-Fighters ever fought in, and more. I've fought in most of them, too. Trying to keep people from destroying the world with time travel.
[He sighs again, heavier this time.]
I guess we disregarded a bigger threat, though.
no subject
She listens to them talk, only interjecting when she hears that heavy sigh from her son.]
It's not your fault, Trunks. I don't believe for a second that you and your Time Patrol didn't do everything you could to save everyone. [Spoken with the confidence and pride of a mother who knows her son is far too brave and heroic to do anything less.]
no subject
Still, the rest of what Trunks has to say--his involvement in every fight over every timeline, his knowledge of every event that Kakarot and his friends had been through--Vegeta finds fascinating, though a little hard to grasp the full extent of it. Just how far did Trunks' experience into the future go? Had he seen events that had yet to transpire on Earth before CERES had interfered? Would that have caused even more rippling changes to the timeline? There was just too much to consider.]
Hmph, but even with that ability, you never saw yourself ending up in this place, did you? [Just going to be stuffing his face now with that sandwich,]
no subject
[He pauses. He's tempted to argue, to defend himself, but-- Vegeta's right, isn't he? None of the Time Scrolls showed this coming.]
... No, you're right. I never did. I've seen so much else, in the past and the future, and yet-- we didn't have any idea about this. ... Which shouldn't be possible. That's why it's so worrying.
no subject
[She frowns and rubs at her temple. Unless it hadn't happened at all, or... maybe the Flamines went after them first? That's just too horrible to contemplate.
She does anyway.]
no subject
This is all pointless hearsay and I won't sit around debating hypothetical situations. We know nothing of this colony besides what we've been told. That must be rectified.
