I want to apologize for my failure to update yesterday. The weather here in PA has not been good. Thousands of people have lost power. I was fortunate enough to lose power for only a few moments but the phone lines have been down since early yesterday morning and have only come back on minutes ago. In case they go down again, I just want to let you know why I may vanish. Nonetheless, I fully intend to give you a full update tonight

Silence. You stand with Huhn-tresh before the locked door, your knocks having gone unanswered. You can sense both Vegeta and Salta in the room beyond, but they have not responded. You could easily break down or destroy the door, or simply use Instant Transmission to get past it by locking on to their energy signatures. If they're discussing something important, they might not appreciate the interruption. Or, for all you know, they could be in some kind of trouble. That seems doubtful, their energy feels normal, and you aren't picking up any feelings of distress.

>D With Salta "Hey is it okay if I come in?"

>>30064516
D.
Reach out and just barely touch Salta's mind, enough we can get emotions, don't try to pry into her thoughts or anything. If we feel fear, distress, etc. then B. Otherwise E.
No reason to panic just yet. We just don't know enough to jump straight to the "Vegeta is boning Salta, time to wreck him like Frieza" reactions yet.

>>30064516
>E.

>>30064424
fuck
I thought this was dead

>>30064618
We aren't picking up feelings of distress.

>>30064689
I don't intend to let it die any time soon

>>30064729
reconsider

>>30064702
Oh I totally missed that. In that case >>30064613

>>30064729
There actually was some dude making a metathread with the starting image asking where you were. I think he deleted it or mods did.

>>30064777
Or you just ignore it? It's not that hard.

>>30064594
>>30064595
>>30064613
>>30064618
>>30064783
You reach out with your mind and touch Salta's.

"Hey, is it okay if I come in?" you ask.

Her response is irritated "No, I'll tell you about this later"

She cuts off communication, and you still here nothing from the room.

>A. Knock down door

>B. Blast down door

>C. Use Instant Trasnmission to get in

>D. Mentally contact Vegeta

>E. Wait

>F. Go to the medical area

"...well, Vegeta and Salta are busy right now. Anything else you want to see while you're here, Huhn-tresh?"
Make a point of saying it loud enough to be heard.

>>30064854
>I
"Well, that was different."

"So, Huhn-Tresh. You want to have a light spar?"

>>30064896
This. Gotta try out new opponents.

"Well, that was different" you comment. "So, Huhn-tresh, you want to have a light spar?"

She shakes her head. "As I have told you, any duel with the leader of my people becomes one for leadership. I know you could defeat me without much effort, and doubt you would much like to lead my village."

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30065105
"It's not a duel, it's a friendly spar, showing off moves to each other and seeing the other's strategies. And even if I'd win by strength alone, that doesn't make it a guaranteed win. Look at what you did to poor Nappa."

>>30065105

She smirks. "Nappa was child's play, you are not so easy. And, simple sparring matches are not allowed unless the issue of leadership is involved. Anybody who can defeat the leader in battle, regardless of circumstances, is seen as more worthy to lead."

"Well, if that's a serious problem, then I suppose a tour of Earth could be of interest" you suggest.

She nods. "That does sound interesting."

She nods, smiling. "That sounds fascinating."

Suddenly, the door slides open. Salta and Vegeta emerge, walking side by side, stopping directly in front of you.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30066046
>A
"You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention."

>>30066046
"Oh, hey guys. How was your Illuminati meeting? Me and Huhn-tresh were about to go to a museum."

>>30066194
I like this one.

>>30066194
Abrasive, much?

>>30066194

>>30066194
"Oh, hey guys. How was your Illuminati meeting?" you ask.

"What the hell is an Illuminati?" Vegeta asks.

Salta shrugs.

"Huhn-tresh and I were about to go to a museum" you tell them.

"Since when do you like museums?" Salta asks.

"Besides, those are human museums. Don't you think a warrior like her would want to learn about a warrior people?" Vegeta asks. "Why not teach her Saiyan history?"

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30066371
Didn't we already tell her about the saiyen history?

>>30066371
Vegeta has obviously not heard about just how incredibly warlike humans are.

A. "Humans have plenty of bloodshed in the past, Vegeta. Besides, the Saiyans have no museums left."

>>30066371
We already told her about saiyan history when we first met her. Besides, human museums have skeleton dinosaurs!

>>30066371
"Dude, have you even heard of World War 2? Humans are pretty fucking brutal, with or without ki. I'll teach her Saiyan history too. Now are you going to tell me what your secret little meeting is about or are you keeping it a surprise?"

>>30066371
>A
"Huhn-Tresh was shocked at the cities and technology, and I have to admit I don't know as much about Earth as I should. So it made sense for us both to learn about our allies."

"So what's with all the locked doors and secrecy all of a sudden? You realize it only makes me want to know more, right?"

>>30066371
Seconding>>30066460

First half of >>30066460
Then >>30066445
Then complete >>30066460

>>30066621
Nah. Talking about how humans "are totally fucking brutal too you guys" doesn't really fit with >>30066460, and the rest of it gets into some severe double-coverage.

>>30066460
This

>>30066460
Use this.

>>30066621
This definitely works

>>30066754
Not really. It's a bit of a tone shift, the last half of both essentially repeat the point, and we've already TOLD Huhn-Tresh about the Saiyans while we were running around just the two of us on her planet.

>>30066460
Just go with this

>>30066460
>>30066520
>>30066656
>>30066665
>>30066852
"Huhn-Tresh was shocked at the cities and technology, and I have to admit I don't know as much about Earth as I should. So it made sense for us both to learn about our allies" you explain.

"Allies? Since when are the humans our allies" Vegeta asks.

"The Briefs have been good to us, they gave us a home and helped us avenge our people" Salta says. "But, the rest of humanity mostly doesn't know what we are, and we certainly have made no formal alliance between Earth and the New Saiyan Empire yet."


"So what's with all the locked doors and secrecy all of a sudden? You realize it only makes me want to know more, right?" you ask.

"Don't worry, I plan to tell you everything" Salta assures you.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30066890
>A
"I really don't get why you're telling me you'll tell me everything rather than simply telling me everything, but okay. I'm used to that kind of logic from Vegeta already."

"So, wanna come to the museum? Could be fun."

>>30066890
>A Okay then, what is it?

>>30066951
This is fine by me

>>30067135
>>30066951
"I really don't get why you're telling me you'll tell me everything rather than simply telling me everything, but okay. I'm used to that kind of logic from Vegeta already" you say to her.

She rolls her eyes. "I have my reasons for what I do."

"So, wanna come to the museum?" you ask the two. "Could be fun."

"Is there anything a Saiyan would find interesting there?" Vegeta asks.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30067191
>A
"I may have a broader definition of "interesting", but there'll certainly be ancient human weaponry, and maybe something on the history of their world wars and global conquerers."

"Really it depends on the museum."

>>30067191

>>30067246
this with

"Plus, you could impress Bulma with your new knowledge and appreciation of her peoples history."

>>30067191
>A. Say something
"Well, I know that legends have a weird tendency of proving themselves true in my vincinity."
"So finding some ancient lore wouldn't exactly be the dumbest idea I've had."

>>30067291
Haha and there's Vegetas incentive. +1

>>30067191
>A. Say something
"There are ancient ruins and artifacts of terrible power scattered around the universe."
"That's how I managed to acquire my ability to see the future in the first place, if there's a hint of some terrible hall of trials on earth, I totally want to know about it."

>>30067391
Kami would probably have told us if there were.

>>30067428
We didn't exactly ask either.

>>30067358
>>30067291
>>30067246
"I may have a broader definition of "interesting", but there'll certainly be ancient human weaponry, and maybe something on the history of their world wars and global conquerors" you say.

Salta shrugs. "I'm in."

"And Vegeta, you could impress Bulma with your new knowledge and appreciation of her peoples history" you tell the prince.

He gives a sigh. "Very well."

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30067291
This

>>30067466
>A
"Alright then. Capsuel Corp, figure out which museum would be best to visit, then go there?"
>B
Do that.

>>30067482
This, and for the love of god dress like normal people.

Not like that ever stopped Frank before.

>Inb4 we find the black arrowhead or stonemask from Jojo and things start to get bizarre.

>>30067509
Please tell me Kami taught us CLOTHES BEAM at some point?

>>30067509
Three of us have tails. Just Saiyan

>>30067482
This

>>30067482
Seconded

>>30067625
>>30067591
>>30067482
"Alright, then. Let's go to Capsule Corp, figure out which museum would be best to visit, then go there" you suggest.

"I am so used to our afternoons being spent fighting some sort of horrific threat. This just seems really mundane" Salta comments.

Vegeta nods before vanishing. Salta and Huhn-tresh soon do the same. You follow their example and pop up at Capsule Corporation.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30067811
>B
Go in, use the internets to find a museum in West City that might have archaeology and warfare exhibits. Or, if we run into Dr Briefs, we can ask him.

>>30067811
>"I am so used to our afternoons being spent fighting some sort of horrific threat. This just seems really mundane" Salta comments.

Oh fuck, shit's gonna go down soon. I'm calling it right now.

>>30067860
Seconding

>>30067884
I bet the wizard SOM was mentioning earlier is gonna show up.

>>30067860
This

>>30067957
I figured the wizard was Babidi.

>>30067884
>ANCIENT EVIL HAS AWOKEN

>>30068034
If it's Babidi, Frank has to say "Holy shit, your that Yoda dude from the Star Wars movies! You're awesome!" , and keep calling him Yoda from there.

>>30067860
>>30067948
>>30067957
You decide to use one of the many computers within Capsule Corporation's main building to look up local museums. It does not take you long to find an interesting sounding one nearby, and you prepare to tell the others when your head begins to throb, and your vision begins to blur. Bright lights flash before your eyes.

>A. Try to clear your head

>B. Focus on it

>C. Something else

>>30068128
>A

>>30068128
Well this should be interesting. Focus on it.

>>30068128
>B. Focus on it

>>30068109
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS MASTER YODA!
>go full mindflayer on him.

>>30068128
>focus on it.
Well this could be quite interesting

>>30068128
I KNEW IT
>B

>>30068223
>>30068196
>>30068167
>>30068165
You decide to focus on the lights and the throbbing in your head. The flashes become more rapid and blindingly bright, and suddenly, you are no longer in Capsule Corporation, you are in the middle of a large city.

This city has clearly seen better days. Corpses litter the streets, wrecked cars and damaged buildings are everywhere. Flames engulf entire blocks, and you hear cries of panic and terror everywhere.

Salta stands at your side, her face grim. Her eyes widen as the ground shakes, and a massive blast consumes several buildings ahead of you. You cannot see who was responsible, nor can you sense them. You reach up to check your scouter, only to realize you don't have it. Taking another look at Salta, you can see that she does not have hers either.

She notices you staring at her. "Focus!" she snaps.

You turn your attention back to the smoking area of the blast. You can barely make out two figures within the cloud of smoke.

>A. Approach the figures

>B. Flee

>C. Say something

>D. Something else

>>30068472
>A
I'm pretty sure we caused this.....
And that Salta is actually Babidi and the two figures may look like other people, but they're probably Salta and Vegeta. I dunno, it's just a hunch.

>>30068472
>D
Extend our mind to Salta's, try to force us both back out of the illusion.

>>30068496
It closely matches our vision of 17 and 18, since we can't sense the attackers and the city is on fire.

Focusing on the lights was a mistake.

>>30068472
>A.

>>30068538
That's what I'm telling you, this is all something to keep us occupied while Babidi or some other wizard uses our body.

>>30068472
>A

>>30068567
Which means we should be doing nothing aside from trying to force our way out of the situation using our own psychic abilities: because while we're being fucked with, it's almost certain the rest are as well. And Salta, Vegeta, and Huhn-Tresh don't have psychic abilities.

No need to compound one bad decision by making another.

>>30068600
I'm curious about the pair, so I'm gonna check them out, then try to force ourself out of this trance thing.

>>30068636
So basically you want to give chucklefuck mcwizardhat, whoever he turns out to be, more time to fuck with Frank's friends and family.

Got it.

>>30068676
Well, we don't know if the wizard is using our body, maybe this is a vision from our book.

>>30068696
I'm just gonna stop arguing.

>>30068676
OOOOR we could be having a psychic vision and even if the ones we're fighting aren't 17 and 18 we'd likely be able to sense them if it was mind-controlled/illusion friends

>>30068696
>>30068676
Well I haunt seen any proof we are being controlled so let's try not to meta this too much

>>30068496
>>30068553
>>30068569
>>30068636
>>30068696
You slowly approach the pair, who remain completely still. The smoke still obscures them from your vision, and as you step towards them, you hear them both chuckle. The voices you hear clearly come from a young man and young woman.

Suddenly, a pair of energy waves shoot from the cloud, directly at you.

>A. Dodge

>B. Block

>C. Fire your own blast against it

>D. Something else

>>30068715
Since when have the visions ever put us in the first person? They're ALWAYS vague, third-person sort of perspectives.

>>30068727
>A Go upwards

>>30068737
Granted, but we learned to better control our visions with Kami recently, and even then my sensing point still stands he said hopefully.

>>30068727
>D
Dodge, but also try to shake loose the illusion.

As we should have done from the beginning.

>>30068754
We can't sense artificial ki sources without the advanced scouters. Also, we were wearing a scouter, and now we're not.

It should be crystal clear that we're being fucked with. I truly cannot understand how you people could come to any other conclusion.

>>30068727
>A. dodge

>>30068727
>A. Dodge

>>30068784
Okay, what do you think we should do then? Other than bitch about us being fucked with. Its certainly possible that that is happening but there is just in character proof of that. Or that it is JUST another vision. Its kinda up in the air, so why dont we just ride it out. Im sure SOM has some idea of where this is going.

>>30068882
I am completely and utterly focused on where this is going and not the television in my room which is currently showing SpongeBob, the episode where SpongeBob has to take a vacation and Patrick works at the Krusty Krab and SpongeBob has a playset of it and what was happening in this thread again?

>>30068882
I've already voted twice to use our psychic abilities to break Frank and Salta free of the illusion, and once for us to have resisted the illusion in the first place.

And if you'd been paying close attention, you'd realize that the current situation is unlike any of our own visions, and it's unlike the visions Kami shared with us.

>>30068914
A demonstration of how utterly lacking some people are in the areas of critical observation and analytical thinking.

>>30068914
OH! I love that episode!
>>30068925
see Anon, its all in good hands!

>>30068957
We're all going to die.

At least I won't have to sit through the Buu arc. God that was atrocious.

>>30068914
The one where squidward freezes himself and then uses the time machine is probably the best one IMHO.

>>30068882
>>30068786
>>30068745
You dodge upwards, the blasts flying right past the spot where you had been moments before. Salta leaps to the side to avoid them as well. More and more blasts shoot from the cloud of smoke at you, and you continue to dodge them with surprisingly little effort, when suddenly a horrific pain explodes in your back and then your chest. Looking down, you see a hand protruding from it. You try to turn your head but another hand grabs it and holds it in place. You hear Salta scream your name as there is another flash of light.

"You have been warned" a loud, booming voice declares before the light vanishes.

You find yourself standing inside Capsule Corp, where you had been when the headache started.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30069003
>A
"What in the goddamn hell was that."

>>30069003
>A I'm starting to hate these visions...
>B Explain what happened to them

>>30069003
Yes please do >>30069051

>>30069003
"SON OF A BITCH! I just want ONE normal day where evil bullshit doesn't fuck everything up!
Sorry guys, field trips canceled."

Explain what happened.

>>30069330
Why cancelled, what can we do right now?
This is more on the 'wait and see' since we have 0 leads

>>30069367
If anything, it's gonna lead to more of a nice "we're not gonna let that happen, Frank" sort of moment.

>>30069051
>>30069059
"I'm starting to hate these visions" you grumble to yourself.

Salta soon enters the room. "Are you ready? Did you find any good museums?"

You ask her to get Vegeta and Huhn-tresh. She looks at you for a moment before doing as you ask, leaving the room and returning with the two individuals you requested.

"Has something happened?" Huhn-tresh asks in concern.

You explain to everyone the strange vision you just had. Their faces grow more grim as you tell them everything.

"So, a pair of enemies we can't sense, one a young man, one a young woman, are going to attack a city, and effortlessly killed you when you fought at normal power?" Vegeta sums up.

"Do you really think it's 17 and 18?" Salta asks.

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30069434
>A. "I don't know, it could be a possible future were they're brainwashed by evil scientists, but I find that hard to believe. Might be more androids, maybe there really are a 21 and 22..."

>>30069478
This

>>30069434
>A
"Not quite. It certainly seemed like 17 and 18, same as last time. But we were dodging their attacks like it was nothing, until someone ELSE jabbed their hand through me. And I'm absolutely certain neither 17 nor 18 would attack us willingly... especially not 18."

"No, this new vision wasn't like anything else. Someone addressed me directly at the end, with a clear warning. There's a LOT more going on here."

>>30069507
this

Add: "Regardless, while we can lets enjoy ourselves."
>Go to the museum still

>>30069434
It could be. I don't think for a moment they would do that themselves though. Someone else is involved here...

>A. >>30069478

>B.>>30069507

5 minutes

>>30069732
>B.

>>30069732

>>30069754
>>30069749
>>30069507
"Not quite" you say. "It certainly seemed like 17 and 18, same as last time. But we were dodging their attacks like it was nothing, until someone ELSE jabbed their hand through me. And I'm absolutely certain 17 nor 18 would attack us willingly...especially not 18."

Salta gives you a questioning look at that last part.

"No, this new vision wasn't like anything else" you continue. "Someone addressed me directly at the end, with a clear warning. There's a LOT more going on here."

Salta sighs. "Fantastic."

"I'm not convinced" Vegeta says. "You said a young man, and young woman, incredibly powerful, and that you couldn't sense them. Sounds just like our dear cyborg friends to me."

>A. Say something

>B. Do something

>>30069868
>A They're changed Vegeta, how would you like it if they we're part of the group first, and then you come along and they blame you for everything? Besides, I don't even know if those people we're androids.

>>30069868
>A.
"Could be androids 21 and 22, who knows what Gruba did after getting her hands on that tech"

>>30069868
>A
"Then again, I was in the middle of a forced psychic vision. Warning or not, we can't take too many of the details at face value."

"After the museum, I think I'd like to share this with Kami. Bring 17, 18, yourselves, and Spina and Fita, and actually try and think this thing through a little rather than jumping to conclusions."

>>30069868
This>>30069965
And then >>30070005

>>30069965
Stop misusing apostrophes.

>>30070058
Yeah, sorry about that.

>>30069868
>A
"You're only alive because I had faith in you, Vegeta: faith that has long since been rewarded. Don't be so quick to deny that same chance to others."

Then >>30070005

>>30070023
>>30070005
>>30069965
"They've changed, Vegeta" you say, feeling a bit irritated. "How would you like it if they were part of the group first, and then when you came along they blamed you for everything? Besides, I don't even know if these people were Androids. Then again, I was in the middle of a forced psychic vision."

"As I recall, you said you allowed it to happen willingly" Salta points out.

"Warning or not, we can't take too many of the details at face value" you caution. "After the museum, I'd like to share this with Kami. We'll bring 17, 18, Spina, and Fita with us. We'll try to think this through rather than jumping to conclusions."

>Any questions before we conclude?

>>30070180
Nah, see you tomorrow SOM.

>>30070219
Goodnight Anime

>Any questions before we conclude?

>>30070248
So how miffed is Salta that we brought up 18 in particular?

Next update should be tomorrow starting between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM.

>Any questions? Everybody have fun?

>>30070180

Not so much miffed as curious about what's going on with you and 18.

Thanks for archiving Mathrian. Glad you had fun.

Why don't you archive with the same tags as most of the other threads

I'm just glad someone is archiving

>Any questions?

because the tag Somnius is only on the more recent ones. As such its a shorter list and 'easier' for people to vote on.

Would she be miffed at this point if we were to tell her that we kinda went on a date?

>>30070502
It depends how you phrase the explanation. If she feels that you've started going after another woman without her permission, she will be very angry.

Ah, nvm I see what you mean. Next time I'll make sure to add that tag to the future ones. When I started archiving I simply copied the tags from the most recent archive. Thanks for the heads up
