Dragonball M, Chapter 2: Lighthouse! Across the Shores of Shattered Time!

[Lord Falcon]

"Ahh....an Esteemed guest has arrived." The Mature Erosa slid up to the resting Asha'rah with a sultry smile. "Have you come to dine as well. We're serving pie....but if you can't handle the wait you can dine with your eyes for now." The Id gave a spin, smiled and returned to her duties.

"There is...much for the eyes to feast on, Dear One," Asha'rah replied, smiling . A gust of wind blew by, caressing each Erosa as if a hand were there.

She tilted her he as d curiously, a question occurring to her for the first time.

"Have you ever felt full?"

His sleeves now rolled up, and donning an apron covered in flour and powdered sugar, Zaofan continued to direct the various Erosas and Cyanna to task. He took a knife sharpener and waved it around like a conductor's baton, pointing to key stations and food items, dispensing instructions like a master coordinator.

Catching sight of Asha'rah in the back, he makes eye contact and nods assuredly, both welcoming her while expressing delight at her presence. "Asha'rah! Good of you to join us," he says as he gently bows his head in respect, unaware of her analysis.

Asha'rah watched with great joy and interest, instincts primal even to a god gluing her eyes to the cacophony of activity going into making this pie.

"The food you create has long been divine, Zaofan. To the point that even I have taken notice."

The cold leftovers from Zaofan's last feast still lingered in Asha'rah's psyche, rising above the freshest efforts of any other chef.

In the controlled chaos of Zaofan's kitchen, Asha'rah lifted her legs and meditated in her familiar lotus position, hearing nothing but the sounds of creation.

"There is...much for the eyes to feast on, Dear One," Asha'rah replied, smiling . A gust of wind blew by, caressing each Erosa as if a hand were there.

She tilted her he as d curiously, a question occurring to her for the first time.

"Have you ever felt full?"

"Full?" M-Rosa looked perplexed for a moment. "Full.....? I'm not sure....What is full? Full of food? I've never seen a meal I wouldn't finish.....and they always run out of food before I run out of will to eat. So maybe there just has no been a big enough feast to make me....full?" M-Rosa tapped the table with her claw, looking down. "Or do you mean full in another way.....these clothes......they can barely contain me in this form."

[MrSandman]

"..."

What kind of soft child was this? Avoca couldn't believe this thing was sobbing over that? She took far worse when she was her age and no one scooped her up and coddled her.

She heard the murmurs and saw the accusatory glares, but ignored them.

Little E-rosa was on the floor, and that was where she was going to stay, as Avoca didn't care enough to be bothered by the annoying crying.

...

She picked the child up and placed her in her lap. "Shut up already."

"Gao..." The child Erosa, bounced in the girls lap, her tears immediately drying and replaced with a playful smile. ".....Mo.....Om......Oma...gao..mo....."

The Little gir/boy/thing seemed to be trying to vocalize something, and waved her arms towards Avoca as if she wanted her to move in closer.

The Little gir/boy/thing seemed to be trying to vocalize something, and waved her arms towards Avoca as if she wanted her to move in closer.

At least the stupid thing wasn't crying anymore. When mini Erosa started carrying on and gesturing like she wanted Avoca to move in closer, the Saiyanness sighed and did so.

"Gao.....oao........." The baby erosa pushed herself up on Avocas lap and leaned forward, her big cute eyes staring into Avocas as she continued to coo. "Gao.....Ogo........ehee.....mine..."

In that moment, the baby rosa tilted forward.
In that moment, Avoca saw a row of sharp teeth peek out with a smile from the childs collar.
In that moment, the childlike ids plan, masked with innocence, came to fruition.

With the gusto of a infant several hundreds times stronger then its form would entail, baby erosa face planted right into avocas chest, its baby arms latching on as it attempted to find a vulnerable point to start sucking on. Considering the babys teeth shared a great deal in common with a bear trap, Avoca likely inferred almost immediately that she was in for a rather painful experience if it managed to get what it was aiming for.

[MrSandman]

Watching them in action, Zaofan yells over the various clanging and symphonic busywork of the kitchen. "Yes, excellent, Erosa! It's not just enough to eat, but to eat well! Flavor is itself key for survival!"

"ESPECIALLY IF ITS BACON FLAVOR!" P-Rosa answered enthusiastically.

Overhearing the order, Zaofan yells back to his staff -- "Cyanna! We'll need more cuts of protein, thank you!" He then points with his knife sharpener Erosas! We'll need one to focus on fruit, and another Erosa to focus on dough! I shall work with you on creating the The BEST tender, flakey and buttery pie crust!"

"I got the fruit!" P-Rosa exclaimed, running to the storage unit.

M-Rosa was already carrying a bag of Cherries and a bag of flour in each of her massive hands, while rolling something around in her mouth....revealing it only when she arrived to Zaofan as a cherry stem she had coiled into the shape of a heart...extending it in offering to the chef with a smile...while it was still on the tip of her tongue.

Unlike Sarada, Avoca's chest was modest, and that was being generous. Still, that didn't mean she wanted some perverted infant to start sucking the milk out of her.

She grunted and struggled to keep the child's mouth from latching onto her.

...

"Get away, you creep! Parsley, do something!"

Parsley was laughing at the sight before her. "I think she likes you, dear. Hahahha"

"Grrrrr!"

"Oh fine." With a resigned sigh that her love didn't share her sense of humor, Parsley grabbed the child by the scruff of her neck and pulled her away. "Bad Erosa. Keep your mouth to yourself, " she chastised.

Cyanna, watching what was going on, managed to find a baby bottle hidden in one of the cabinets. She quickly filled it with milk, then handed it to Parsley, "Here, give her this. That might quiet her down."

[MrSandman]

~Meanwhile, at the tournament~

Cthylla, like the others, had chosen to observe and evaluate the competition....at in Cthyllas case, simply look for whatever caught her attention the most among the ones involved.

It was irrelevant if she ended up fighting them or not, curiosity was as natural as dreaming to her.....and seeking out new observations would fill the temporal hole between now and the start of her actual work here.

[Sub-Zero MKA]

Cyanna, watching what was going on, managed to find a baby bottle hidden in one of the cabinets. She quickly filled it with milk, then handed it to Parsley, "Here, give her this. That might quiet her down."

When handed the baby bottle, Parsley raised an eyebrow. "How strange. What would a childless Guardian need with a baby bottle?" She shrugged and shoved the nipple of the bottle into Erosa's mouth. "There. A more suitable nipppe for you to suckle. Those nipples," she gestured at Avoca, "belong to me. Understand?"

"There. A more suitable nipppe for you to suckle. Those nipples," she gestured at Avoca, "belong to me. Understand?"

The baby stared at Parsley, a level of understanding in her huge eyes.

Then she opened her mouth wide and snapped her bear trap down on the front of the bottle with enough force to sever the top of the bottle clear off...spraying milk everywhere. The child chewed, the sound of crushed plastic sickeningly broadcasted throughout the room, followed by a audible swallow and a fanged smile.

"Gao...."

[Yun Lao]

The massive board lights up and the names are high lighted and called out over a massive PA system.

“Good evening ladies, gentleman, non-descript and everything inbetween! Our final four have arrived and in a few minutes the Tournamnet shall commence! Please give a round of applause for the following!”

Chris the Knife

Pied Piper

Solarius

Out of those mentioned, those were the ones who caught Charco's attention. While he wasn't unaware of the entirety of Chris the Knife's deal, he did recognize that name as the douche who killed Jack. He would have to make it hurt if he managed to face him. As for the other, well, the name reminded him of those creatures from Dusk City. He still had those scars from that night.

As for Solarius, Charco had no idea why, but something deep inside his mind told him that he had faced this man in combat once, but, for the life of him, Charco could not recall such a fight.

"Interesting bunch we got here..." He murmured to himself.

The child chewed, the sound of crushed plastic sickeningly broadcasted throughout the room, followed by a audible swallow and a fanged smile.

"Gao...."

The bottle was crushed and chewed up. She had heard that Ids could and would eat anything. This little one lived up to the billing.

"That thing wanted to chomp down on my tit?! Tch, **** this. I'm waiting outside." Avoca stood and stormed out for her own safety.

Parsley tossed the little Erosa at Cyanna then followed her out. "Wait, there's something I want to show you."

"Huh? And what's that?"

She smirked and grabbed her hand to take her to where they had been before. "A new form I learned a few hours ago."

She hadn't tried to go Super Saiyan again since she did the first time. Then again, the whole reason she stayed behind the last two missions was to start training it as soon as possible. What better way than in front of her mate?

Privacy attained once again, Parsley stood some distance away. "Okay. Watch closely." She clenched her fists and tried to reignite the golden flames deep within her.

I was furious and filled with self-loathing when I did it the first time. Maybe that's the key...

She visualized Sarada and Avoca being tortured and killed by Appel while she was chained and completely powerless to stop it. She imagined their pained, agonized screams for help and mercy, and saw the sneer on the Tuffle's lips as those cries went unheeded.

Come on. Come on!

The scalper talked to security guard...meaning he wasn't just some street hustler, he had ties to the casino. The Arcosian lieutenant's suspiscions were raised, but it was something he decided to keep to himself for now. Outwardly, Blizzar responded with a friendly, "Excellent! Thank you!"

He loudly snapped his fingers, to draw the attention of Held and Althena. "Held. Frog. I've found us arrangements. A VIP box, in fact," he explained, before leaning in and whispering to them, "No need to thank me, just hand me your ten thousand reimbursement credits once we return to our homeworld."

"And with everyone gathered here...onward to box 7!" Blizzar nodded at the guard, prepared to follow. 7 was indeed a lucky number...but thsee seats had better be worth it.

" That's nice ." Althena said Althena then shows Blizzar a image she drew of the Toadian Big Papa Toadil . " Something is off about that male Toadian and I can tell that he's a male by the skin pouch on his back. Male Toadians shouldn't even be this size , They should only be at most 4 feet at their base size , yeah something is diffently not right here. " Althena said


OOC: It's up to Cleric to tell what advance information Althena's clairvoyant drawing shows of Big Papa Toadil.

The Nevadian laughed slightly at the gesture of kindness. "And here I was thinking this was a token of our friendship."

It was hardly any surprise to Held, in all honesty. What would be the point in soliciting a brib--Donation, from him, just to spend it on a lavish gift for him? After all, it was unlikely that Blizzar would be able to use the purchase as a tax write off, or something of that nature. Did the Galaxy Police even plan for events like this?

"Then again, you did save me the hassle of doing my own legwork....And I suppose if anyone here is likely to share my tastes, it'd be you?"

He paused, realizing something.

"...Wait, just to be sure. " He leaned in close to Blizzar "What is the GP's stance on gambling? I mean, to put it another way, the laws of one dimension, don't directly count here, do they?"

Blizzar might relax where cash in involved, but I need to see if we're on the same page or not. For all I know the GP considers time and space to play no role in upholding...Justice, or whatever they want to call it.
