'Does not blame you for that, my boy.' You hear Gohan's voice, and evidently so does Goku. 'You didn't know, and I was careless. Yet in spite of everything, you have grown up to become a strong, brave young man. I couldn't be more proud of you, Goku.'

Goku stays silent for a moment. His eyes start to water, but he smiles, looking upwards, holding the stone Dragon Ball you gave back to him. "Thank you, grandpa."

The old man's voice laughs heartily. 'Now, since you two have so much in common, I think that it's best if you both sta-AGK!'

'WHAT DID I SAY?!'

...hi Teacher.

'Sh-she's... thirteen... in four days... c-come on...' Gohan tries to say through what seems to be choking sounds. Wait... it's already October? Huh. Goku laughs a little, wiping away the tears, as Kami approaches you again.

"And now that you know this, there is one thing I would like to ask of you, Son Goku." the old Namekian says. "The Earth's moon has been gone for some time now. I have tried to manage things as best I could without it, but I can only do so much. If the moon is to be restored, I request that you allow me to remove your tail."

>A. Wait, what? No!
>B. Goku's choice, not yours
>C. Something else?

>>41595097
>>B. Goku's choice, not yours

>>41595097
>B. Goku's choice, not yours

>>41595097
>C. "Saiyans can control their giant ape form, what if we took the time to train his mind so he can properly control that state? If anyone can do it, Goku can."

>>41595097
>>B. Goku's choice, not yours

>>41595097
>>B. Goku's choice, not yours

I understand. It may be possible to train to have control, however there is no safe way to do so.

>>41595097
>>41595159
Second

>>41595097
>C. "Isn't there a chance he could learn to control it?"

>>41595159
Second, Deleting old vote

Did you know that 1/4th of the time, it's a full moon on October 31st?

I bet the roll level for this are going to hurt.

Yo Kato you ending soon? Getting pretty late.

>>41595345
West Coast best coast. Just catch up when you wake up.

>>41595345
Relatively soon. Also tied vote currently.

>>41595097
>C. With all due respect, Kami-sama, Goku's tail is like an arm to him now. He has learned to conquer its weaknesses, and I believe he can conquer this beast's strength.

>>41595380
Well the he can learn to control it isn't really exclusive to it's goku's choice, Also this vote just broke>>41595384
the tie

>>41595384

I wish there was a safe way to train this though.

THere is no way that does not involve either the dragon balls wishing it to be or some other method Maple does not know about.

>>41595380
How long until the full moon arrives after Kami recreates it? Is it a full moon on the first night?

Also we could keep Goku away from viewing the full moon until he gets it down. It's canon that its based around eye-sight and not just whenever the moon is out.

>>41595097
Actually, please don't count >>41595384 as another vote for C, it's really more of a new argument, I had already voted for C previously.

>>41595403
Only way I can see is us trying to get through to him when he is transformed in a secluded area.

>>41595431

Even then, He can nearly instant kill ANYONE with a wrong move.

And no way to shut it down.

Hell, he could crack the earth with an energy attack.

Too many are doing it for power level, but no easy way to train.

Different with Saiyan kids when parents can knock them around during training.

>>41595462
>And no way to shut it down.
There's the eight paths and clothes beaming a shock crown on his tail.

>>41595484
Or we could just y'know clothes beam a guillotine kinda thing on it, A shock collar ain't gonna stop him.

>>41595462
Couldn't we use hypnosis to make him believe he's transformed and then work with him from there? This could help him process this new mental state when he transforms for real.

>>41595097
What if we teach Goku to control his ape form?

Being aware that he can transform is a step in the right direction. That's gotta count for something.

Although I do feel Goku himself would probably opt to get rid of the tail if he felt it would endanger his friends and the world. He's all about sacrifice.

>>41595514

Don't think that counts, up to Kato.

Pendulum room is about only place to do so safely.

Or maybe in the afterlife.

How are the Pendulum Room and the Hyperbolic Time Chamber different from each other?

Haven't voted either way, but he at least deserves to know it's possible before removing his tail. I mean, it is basically a choice asking if he's okay with what amounts to mutilation of a limb for the world.

>>41595588

Different rooms in look out.

Pendulum room is holodeck. Think of a place to go to.

TIme chamber is just time dialation.

>>41595588

Pendulum Room enables you to go to a "simulated" alternate dimension or alternate timeline of your choosing.

Hyperbolic Time Chamber is a pocket-dimension where time moves much more quickly in there, enabling people to accomplish a lot of work from the perspective of people outside of the HTC. You can also only stay in it for up to a year in HTC-time, and only use it twice in your entire life (I think).

>>41595614
We totally need to get the "Two way teleport between Capsule Corp and the Lookout" room up and running.

You bite your lip. "...Kami, with all due respect, Goku's tail is a part of him. It'd be like losing a limb. Plus, some Saiyans can control their beastly forms, and... I believe in Goku. If anyone can learn to control it, he can."

Kami frowns. "While I admire your confidence in your friend, Maple, you must also be aware of how powerful he would become, and how uncontrollable that power would be." He steps towards Goku. "And I do not believe you were the one I was asking. This is Goku's choice, is it not?"

You raise your hand to protest, but Goku stops you. "Mister Kami, is there anywhere we can attempt that... safely?"

The aged features on the Namekian's face light up in surprise. "...there may be one place, but there is a great deal of personal risk involved in it. If you attempt such a thing, there is a real risk that you can die."

"Then... I'll try it. If I can't, then I'll gladly give up my tail." the monkey boy says with determination.

Trip shakes her head. "If you feel this is the right choice, Son Goku. But I do not wish you to put yourself in unnecessary risk."

Goku just smiles. "Gotta give it a try!"

Y'know at this point. Raditz better beg for our help instead of being a cocky ass. He literally has no leverage beyond 'I'm your brother!' for Goku. He knows he's a Saiyan now, he is several times stronger than him and can out-fight him.

I hope we get a chance to bring him into the fold after we knock some sense into him.

>>41595994
He could still hold Gohan hostage.

>>41595994
That would actually be pretty nice if we saved Raditz.

>>41595994
At this point he is going to nope out of there and regroup with Vegeta.

>>41596006
He could, but he probably wouldn't be able to grab Gohan like he did in canon.
>>41596013
>"vegeta there are guys tougher than you are"
>"what the fuck did you just say about me, raditz?"
>raditz dies because he tried to be smart
BAD END

>>41596013
Then we'd have to reenact Char's Counterattack.

>>41596013

I wonder how Vegeta would even react if Raditz said "Holy shit Vegeta! Kakarot changed and has grown extremely powerful, and he also has Tuffle friends who are also almost as powerful as he is along with all these freakishly strong humans and I ran away but holy shit Vegeta! What do we do?!?"

>>41596006
If Gohan even exists and isn't already ten times stronger than him.

>>41596013
We take his ship before he gets into it and enforce stockholms syndrome while we take his armor, replicate it and make him play nice with Goku.

>Your brothers! GET ALONG LIKE ME AND BROBRO!

Probably assume he had gone crazy, then throw a dog biscuit at him.

>>41596063
YES. GLORIOUS.

You blush a little, rubbing the back of your neck. "S-sorry for, um... speaking up like that. Kami, Goku. I just..."

Goku laughs. "It's okay, Maple."

"You care of your friend's well-being as much as his potential. I understand." the aged Namekian tells you with a nod.

You nod back at Kami. "So, what kinds of trials will he be going through? And, er... is there any way I can help?"

"We will need to make a number of preparations. Miss Sanzo, can I count on your assistance in this endeavor?"

The woman bows. "Of course. I shall help in any way I can."

"Son Goku, then I request you continue to stay here, for the time being. There is still much for you to learn before then." Kami tells the monkey boy.

"Sure thing!" he says with a nod. "Thanks again, Maple."

You hug Goku and smile. "Any time. And... Goku, regardless of our origins, we're Earthlings. Never forget that."

"I won't!" he says confidently.

You look back at Chi-chi. "Don't YOU start..."

"Uh-huh." She flies under you, her arms crossed behind her back. "Before he even knew how he really felt, you teased your brobro every step of the way. I was there for most of it." she says with a knowing smirk.

"Shut up..." you mutter back. In an attempt to change the topic, you turn to Tien. "...say, you wouldn't happen to be some kind of... part-alien too, would you Tien?"

"...in all honesty I have no idea." he replies. "Chi-chi, you and your father wouldn't happen to be from some sort of Ox Planet, would you?"

For a moment you and her stare at the triclops. You both then burst out laughing. Tien made a joke. You never really thought he could, but there you go. "Haa... but really, we got birthdays to plan for, Chi-chi. Krillin's is coming up soon."

"I already got him his gift." she says with a sly smile. "And one for you too, and especially one for Acer, for that matter. You're the one who needs to find something."

Well, if there's one thing you are, it's clever in designing outfits! Or at least you think you are. In any case, you think up something for Krillin, designing a rather stylish but functional new Turtle School outfit just for him. More than enough for him to be impressed by, you hope. When October 29th rolls around, you present his present to him, and he absolutely adores it. Lapis and Lazuli saved up some money and got him a mug with "Mondo Cool Master" printed on the side. You notice Krillin's been getting pretty strong himself, Power Level's probably around 3000 now. Launch and Acer, when you see them again, have gotten even stronger. Your brother's sitting at 3700, Launch at an even higher 3800.

Upon inquiring, you realize that Acer, Yamcha, Launch, and Chiaotzu all underwent their own quest to retrieve the Ultra Divine Water, just so that they too would be prepared in case they encountered the Piccolo Jr. fellow. When Halloween itself comes around, Chi-chi presents you with a little locket of herself, you, and Acer in it, saying that the two of you are really responsible for who she is today, and she couldn't be happier about it. She has one for your brother and herself as well, but also presents Acer with a couple movie tickets; apparently, she'd been planning a proper date with him for a while. Bulma and Yamcha, who now seems to have gotten a few rather noticeable scars, present you with a year pass to Dreamland, saying that they were still trying to make up for the incident you got last time you went there. Launch taught you how to bake cakes properly, resulting in a couple delicious concoctions.

As you head off to sleep on that calm, slightly cool Halloween night, you start to dream a bit. Thoughts rush by of your friends, with you yourself seeming to be... running somewhere? You come across three doors. One with a heart on it. One with a hat on it. One with... the symbol for "devil" on it.

While the "Devil" door seems interesting, you really wanna see what's behind the "Hat" door. Especially since it looks like your own. You open it up... and arrive at Baba's palace, at night. You walk around, not really seeing anyone. You notice what seems to be Undine in the distance, playing... some kind of water harp? How does that even work? Wait no, now it's a water guitar. ...huh.

"Trying to figure some things out about yourself, huh?" a familiar voice asks.

...wait a second. What? You turn around and... huh.

"Hi Maple. Or... Dream Maple? Are you me from like, the future, or my subconscious, or... hey why do you look taller?! And prettier?!" You give a faked pout.

She laughs. "Guess you could say I'm just a 'you' for you to talk to. Hi Maple. We look the same."

"Soooo... are you here to guide me on some kind of mystical super-cool quest? 'cause if not... wanna check out the other doors? I was curious about that 'Devil' door."

"Yet you picked this one first." She skips over to you and smiles. "You just hit thirteen years. Well, we both know it's a bit more complicated than that, but biologically, mentally, in spite of the memories, you're 13. You're growing up quite a bit, maybe not quite the same as some of your friends, but still..."

You shrug. "Yep. Technically a teen now."

"Well... shall we walk and talk? Or should we stay here?" She does a little spin in front of you.

You eye her a little suspiciously. "So... are you really me, or is this some sort of side-effect of Darkness and the Ultra Divine Water."

"Yes." she answers mathematically. Of course she does. Stupid inner-mind dream nonsense.

"Right. What's your favorite animal? Which would be the best to name and style a school after, what with our skillset and abilities?" you start walking with her.

"Camels, and dragons, and tigers, and cabbits. Turtle School: Maple Branch. More magic and new tricks." She responds. Well, bit of a smartass. She is you. Hah, "Maple Branch." It's funny because puns.

"Okay, we're going to the 'Devil' door, but you're doing some REAL question answering, missy." you say, wagging your finger. She just keeps smiling. "For starters, this place... I can guess it's somehow related to King Piccolo, and maybe Towa, but is there more to it all?"

"Perhaps it's displaying that symbol because that's the time you truly lost something. Someone." she responds. You stare for a moment, then open the door.

You see Towa. You see King Piccolo. You see... Raichi.

You glare at the figures. "...he'll come back for us, some time. And Towa is playing some game with us, she has some sort of plan, she-"

"She, or Ghost Dad, might cause you to lose someone else. Like before. You already lost one brother once..."

Oh here we go. "Plenty of people have pushed. Are you going to push for it too? Because... he IS like a brother to me. My best friend, my rival. But..."

"But?"

>>41598589

She's interested in getting stronger and doing science.

So it's going to be the gravity chamber control console dressed in a lab coat writing complex formulas on a whiteboard.

>>41598589
That's what thirteen year olds were made to think about. Though I see your point about not wanting anything too serious right now, we can still explore what we are able to of this crush we have in the confines of our head.

"Maybe?" Her eyes widen a bit as you leave the "Devil" door, and step to the "Heart" door.

You sigh. "I... I don't know if he really is thinking about that. If he'll ever think about that. He's still kind of the same, dorky monkey boy I met..."

"Is he? After all that's happened?"

"...mostly." you admit. "Look, this isn't about just... falling head over heels for him all of a sudden. I'm not going to suddenly try flirting with him or... grah!" You run your fingers through your hair. "IF. If I feel anything for him stronger than I have before... I don't want it to be for some selfish reason of just... wanting him. Or something dumb like getting back at ghost dad. He deserves someone who's going to really care for him."

"And you have your doubts."

"Of course I do." you grumble out, looking back at her. "Why spring this on me now?" you ask with a pout, as you slowly start to open the door.

"Because he's not going to be a boy forever. And you're not going to be a girl forever. You're going to grow up, Maple. Who you grow up with is something you're going to have to confront one of these days. Your brother seems to have found someone, hasn't he? Someone YOU pushed for?"

...you hate it when you're right like that.

You look in the door.

>>41598915
>>41598939
Thanks for playing, anons! This has been rather interesting to write and think about.

Personal opinion on this is... Maple isn't really sure of herself if this is what she wants, or if this is what people "expect" from her. Maybe something in between? She saw what happened with Acer and Chi-chi, and those two seem to have formed a legitimate relationship now. What's more, she isn't quite sure if this is what's best for who she honestly feels is her best friend. She cares about Goku, enough that she doesn't want to jeopardize their current relationship and just jump at the chance. Things could have turned out differently, but this is the path it seems to be taking here. Might change in the future.

>>41598873

The shipping in general will be a cluster fuck in coming threads.

Especially since Saiyans seem to have part of their brain in regards to relationships turned off mostly.

Needs to be kick started. A miracle they did not die out before Planet Plant was destroyed.

>>41599081
I dunno I just like to go with seems natural and in this case it's Goku. Trying to force other options that we barely have any relationship with just feels wrong.

>>41599121
Maple and Chiaotsu sittin in a tree

I think the tuffle smartness would offset the learning disability mentioned, making for a powerful telekinetic ki user with no height whatsoever

The best plan is to build Goku a harem. Then once he impregnates enough females, we'll soon be swimming in Saiyan half-breeds. Obtaining Super Saiyan God from that will be a cinch with so much righteous Saiyan power to draw from.

There's no way this can go wrong.

I mostly have myself to blame for this. Note that there are still options open, if ya'll don't pick Goku. But... well, be aware that not all options will be the same as Goku. Each one has its own challenges.

Mark, for example, currently does have a girlfriend, who might become his wife by the time of the 23rd Tournament. Canon Videl was born right after the Tournament. You might meet Mark soon.

>>41599265

There's usually a bit more activity in these post quest discussions.

>>41599265
>I mostly have myself to blame for this.
Not really, just comes with quests, especially fanfiction ones where people come in with preconceived notions about characters and events.

Just comes with the territory.

Is this stuff more from trip's training, or from darkness/water shit?

>>41599318

Chiaotzu isn't too majorly cognitively impaired, though he has trouble with numbers and mathematics. His growth is, however, majorly stunted. There are other things about it you'll find out some time soon, but just keep in mind some of Chiaotzu's oddities.

>tfw Goku seems like the "natural"
choice because people won't shut up about it and keep pushing for it

Sheeeeit, man.

He's such a boring character, though. Eat, train, fight, and occasionally die so he can train harder. There won't be very much interaction beyond that, and what interaction there is will be either meaningless or forced. Goku doesn't make a good couple with -anyone-.

Or maybe I'm complaining because it's the least entertaining choice.

Oh well, not like anyone else has a chance of getting with Maple because of how loud Gokufags are. Enjoy your husbando, but at the very least can you not make it super cheesy and cliche (especially with those spaghetti anons, that stuff was cringeworthy, I'm sorry, but it was).

>>41602770

>>41602770

>>41603501
>your argument is "b-but not canon here!"

pls.

You're wagering that the character is going to be so different as to not be the same character.

And all I see is a bunch of stuff that doesn't indicate anything at all at being more than friends.

>"b-but muh snugglecarry!"

Players built that by themselves. Moreover, carrying someone is only done a few ways, he wasn't big enough to just throw us over his shoulder or under his arm, only other ways to carry would be under the armpits, piggy-back or princess carry. He went with the fastest only and easiest one to perform alone, the princess carry.

All the social interaction up until this point wasn't Maple as a character being attracted to him in any capacity, it's been the players pushing for her to be. Always throwing out those stupid spaghetti write-ins. Nothing "natural" about it. The moment you being to "ship" is the moment it stops being an organic relationship and becomes some engineered tripe.

That being said, I want to see if Cell ends up being three feet shorter than he was in canon, here. Damn that's a long wait, though.

Oh, and obligatory "not the guy you responded to" remark.

>>41603953
>The moment you being to "ship" is the moment it stops being an organic relationship and becomes some engineered tripe.

So every relationship in Quests is forced then. Might as well have forced relationship with the person there's actual time spent with then.

Look don't worry about the romance aspect. It'll just be an aspect not the complete focus. And I think that cause I trust Kato, not the players ability to rein themselves in.

>>41603953
Let's just try going on one date first and see how that goes. We do still owe him a dinner.

>>41604012
I've seen a real thing develop in a quest before.

Mainly it's how the players act. If they are actively trying to seduce and get people together, it makes me forced. But if people just let it happen it's fine.

It's that whole "have to insert this flirting scene with a write in!" and "have to make sure to write in day-dreaming about being x characters spouse!" stuff that ruins it. That's the sort of shit that makes it shipping, really.

>>41604012
Ignore him he's obviously just a sperger who's an anti-gokufag and is trying to start shit.

>>41604042
Well that's strange

>it makes me *think it's forced

I need a new keyboard.

>>41604043
I don't much care for who we get with, actually.

And I don't much care for your implications, either.

I'd say the same thing if this situation was happening with any other character, as well. Though for now the focus is on Goku for obvious reasons.

>>41603953
>Everything i don't like is forced and wrong!
The door is that way.

>>41604042
I know players are obnoxious with their ships, believe me I know.

But in character has it really been that forced? Hell right now she is indecisive as fuck and all there's been is some teasing by people who would in character tease her.

>>41604043
He's not a sperger if he is actually giving thought out arguments.

>>41604119
It really isn't forced at all.

Holy crap this is still up? Well...

>>41603695
Eail no

>>41604090
>implying so that you can shitpost

Try harder.

>>41604119
I like how Kato is handling it, but that doesn't change how the players themselves are approaching it. They are trying -really- hard to make sure every time that Maple looks at Goku like that. Even at times when it would just be awkward or odd for that sort of thought to cross her mind.

Well nothing like that has happened in character yet, so thats a blessing. Just call out stupid shit. I know I will, I want this to be good just like you and I trust Kato to rein people in if they need to be.

>>41604162
I try to make sure Maple doesn't flub it with her relationships with her friends and loved ones. However, she should also reach out for what could make her happy.

>>41604119
>I know players are obnoxious with their ships, believe me I know.

I was kinda dreading this.

However, there is a lack of other quality candidates, who are free.

Yamacha has Bulma and is quite a bit older.

Krillin is well, Krillin.

Lapis has very little interaction, but is free. Kinda a weird position since no real interaction, yet.

>>41604224
Piccolo Junior?

>>41604224
So you'd replace shipping....With more shipping just with a different character? Piss off.

>>41604242
>Asexual.

>>41604224
Its annoying sometimes, sure, but as long as nothing retarded gets written down in the actual story I can deal with it.

Also suddenly spamming Lapis interaction for a relationship would way more forced then any Goku relationship at this point.

There have been a few examples up until now in previous threads, honestly. Maybe you don't see it that way, but that is definitely how it is.

>>41604202
That's cause Kato seems to ignore them, and they usually don't gain traction anyway, which I'm grateful for.

It's all about the sex with you, isn't it?

>>41604170
So you are an ally of justice.

>>41604202
Eh, things I pick up from those around me. My wife got me into the habbit of saying "ya'll."

>>41604224
Lapis thinks you're cool but otherwise doesn't have any stronger feelings beyond that. Attempting a relationship with him would take time anyway.

>>41604273
EAIL NO

How would Maple feel if during the course of meeting Arctus a super butthurt super saiyan shows up and tries to smash the truffle but the Lizard steps in and has to fight her/several saiyans off with his ORIGINAL DO NOT STEAL new form

Happy that she made a new friend that'll protect her.

Scared because oh my god the power is insane.

Annoyed that it's out of her league at this point?

>>41604334
>tfw Arctus having a conversation with Maple when canon Nappa and Vegeta show up with a runnaway Raditz in tow

>Arctus is just swatting them and their attacks away with his tail, not a care in the world

I'd laugh.

>>41604334
No crossover's til she's older, Why can't you people get that through your goddamed thick skulls?

>>41604334
Kabuya probably wouldn't tell that she is a Tuffle at a glance, probably think she's just a short human.

>>41604334
>Busy calling her space lawyer

>>41604363
We ARE our space lawyer.

>>41604361
>"What are you, a haired Krillin?"

>>41604354
Still funny, meant more Kabuya

>>41604356
Even if it happens at the start of Z, Kabuya and Arctus would still majorly outclass Maple

>>41604361
Nappa might though maybe?

>>41604363
Just hide the bodies

>>41604324
Is that how it's supposed to be typed? Damn. Oh well.

>>41604334
Ask again after the 23rd Tournament.

>>41604406
But she has a nose...

>>41604409
>Even if it happens at the start of Z, Kabuya and Arctus would still majorly outclass Maple
That's pretty goddamned soon for a crossover man.

>>41604409
>Nappa might though maybe?
Annnnd you trust Nappa to tell her as soon as he see's her? Instead of eventually going "You didn't ask"?
Also really looking forward to the next Monkey's, We finally got SSJ!

>>41604424
I don't think it'll be canon to Tuffle Quest if it does happen. More then likely it'll happen in SAQ in a 'Arctus affected Tuffle Quest' Universe.

>"Your honor, I'd like to request a space continuance so I can go deliver a space baby."

>>41604457
And then Arctus's kid was born.

>>41604470
Away with you filth.

>>41604477
No you dunce, I was implying that she'd help deliver Arctus and Femgeta's baby.

Why would the doctor be pregnant?

>>41604477
>he was implying Maple was the doctor who was helping Femgeta along

Calm down!

He seriously is an alien, I swear.

Oh! Okay, Apologies then.
