You wake up on a pleasantly warm Sunday morning, not as early as before, and get down to have some breakfast. Acer's already outside, working on training with his sword. You notice Turtle and his son in the house watching television, Master Roshi reading... a magazine. You kinda roll your eyes at that, but just focus on your breakfast. You didn't really have much planned today aside from some light training. Maybe you should just take some more time to relax today.

"Ah, Maple, you're up." Roshi comments, putting down his magazine.

"Something up, Master?" you ask, pouring maple syrup on your pancakes.

"Well... I've been thinking on the Tournament coming up. Only two months away now. It's going to be a tough one, and I know you all are aware of how dangerous it is." he starts with a bit of a serious tone.

"Thinking on competing again yourself?"

He shakes his head. "Heh, against you kids? No, no... but, I was wondering..." He strokes his beard contemplatively. "You and your friends... will you be in entering it in something like your old uniforms?"

>A. I don't know about everyone else, but I sure am!
>B. I'd like the Turtle School to be flying the same colors, just... at least for this
>C. Actually, kind of have some new ideas for it
>D. Dunno, you have some suggestions, dad?
>E. Something else?

As well as it can be.

>>42476279
You think for a moment. That's... a good question. You scratch the top of your head. Wear the old uniform? Try something new? With all that's really been going on, you haven't really thought about that all that much before. And... seems Roshi might have an idea. "Dunno, you have some suggestions, dad?"

For a moment Roshi seems like he'd be up to his... usual behavior, though you finishing your question with the word "dad" forces him to stop himself. Roshi clears his throat. "Well... seeing as you're a Turtle School Master, heh, figured you could use something to really make that known." The old man heads off to the closet, and presents you with... something new. "You don't have to, Maple, but I'd gotten one of these made for you and Krillin each. You're the first to really see it. What do you think?"

You look over the new outfit, and...

>A. ...I love it! Thanks, dad!
>B. It's okay
>C. ...not really my style, sorry dad
>D. Something else?

>>42476666
>A. ...I love it! Thanks, dad!

You grin wide at him. "...I love it! Thanks, dad!" You run over and hug Roshi. Gods, that looks AWESOME!

Roshi pats you on the head. "I'm glad, kiddo."

As touching as the moment is, it's interrupted by something. You hear a voice on your Scouter, on the table in front of the TV. It's... Bulma? "Maple, Acer, you guys there?"

You let go of Roshi and pick your Scouter up. "What's up, Bulma?"

"Ah, good, there you are Maple. I need you guys to confirm something for me: check your Scouter's Dragon Radar function. As long-range as you can take it."

You raise an eyebrow, but do so. There's a Dragon Ball about 10 kilometers away, seems to be on an island. One to the north... Kami's Lookout, heh, obviously Goku's. One that seems to be at Mifan... huh. You're only picking up three of them. "...seeing three of them. Why do you ask? What's up?"

Bulma's silent for a moment. "...yeah, that's what I was worried about. I checked not too long ago, and about a few months prior we were picking up four of them. And only four."

Your eyes go wide. "...and now there's three."

"I... hope it's just due to something mundane, like an animal eating them by accident, but... this is fishy." She's worried.

>A. You're right. Want us to try and look around?
>B. It's probably nothing. At the very least, as long as Goku has his, nobody can do anything with them
>C. Something else?

>>42477047
>A. You're right. Want us to try and look around?

Someone might be banking on the gang being too wrapped up in WMAT training/whatever to notice something like this. Better to be safe than sorry.

"Fishy, huh? Think it's been a fish eating these?"

"Maple." Bulma responds with an annoyed tone.

"Joking, joking." You stick your tongue out. She can't see it, but still. "Still, you're right. Want us to try and look around? Someone might be banking on us all being too busy training to notice something like this, so..."

"It'd be helpful. Maybe try to bring one of them to Capsule Corp? We could probably keep it safe here." she responds.

"No problem, Bulma!" you tell her cheerfully. Roshi looks at you and smiles, nodding. You nod back, and Acer heads in.

"Something up, huh?"

You grin at him. "Time to hunt some Dragon Balls."

>C. We should check up with auntie Baba, she might know something

Maybe someone is using the energy in each orb and making them go inert?

Piccolo Jr. could probably pull something like that. Absorb enough negative built up energy and blam!

Shadow Dragon Piccolo.

>>42477897
I wouldn't surprise me if Piccolo Jr has gotten completely rid of his Demonic Ki since he knows it can be exploited and focused on improving himself. That seems like something he would do after being Samma Vaca'd.

>>42477930
This, he's way too bloodknight to allow a weakness like that.

"We should check up with auntie Baba, she might know something." you state, arms crossed. "After that, maybe get Goku, or someone else."

Brobro smirks at him being the first person you suggest, but doesn't say anything about it. "Think she'll give us a discount this time around? I mean, this might be something dangerous. Would be nice if she didn't take all our money too." your brother asks a little jokingly.

You tap your fist on his shoulder. "Haw haw. Come on, let's get going." The two of you walk outside, Baby Gamera arriving with some groceries on its back and heading in as you leave. You touch down on Baba's Palace quickly, noticing Undine fighting a bear person. Well, less "fighting" and more "toying with him." Not much a line outside this time, just a rich couple waiting patiently. One of the ghost ushers greets you and brobro.

"Hello again, Maple and Acer, are you both here to take a challenge again?" it questions.

"No need." Baba approaches. "I have business with my niece and nephew."

The rich couple seem a bit annoyed, but Baba turns to them. "If you'll allow me a moment, I can offer a special half-off deal." That changes their mood quite a bit, and they make no further protest.

Well, seems she's aware, at least. The three of you head inside, the ghost usher offering the rich couple some drinks. "...so, the Dragon Balls. Most of them are missing."

"I noticed this a while ago as well." Baba says, looking down at her crystal ball. "But alone, I can not determine who is responsible."

>A. "Alone?"
>B. Should we go get the other two immediately?

"'Alone?'" you and your brother repeat. "Well... should we hurry and try to get one before they get to it first?"

Baba shakes her head. "Not yet." She then moves into the back, a spacious room waiting for you all, and hops off. "I need your help with something, first."

You raise an eyebrow at her... but start to figure it out. "You're going to teach us something, aren't you?"

Baba chuckles softly. "It will help you utilize something you learned from me better, potentially. Neither of you can hold a candle to my abilities in foresight, but this might bring you just a little closer. Are you both ready?"

"Hell yeah!" Acer shouts. "Maple?"

Maple gets a vision of:

1.) Mohawked saiyan attempting dangerous levels of Kaioken; he vomits blood and passes out.

2.) Goku holding a shaggy-haired saiyan and both getting impaled by an energy blast.

3.) A Goku look-alike wearing green PTO armor fighting for his life against hundreds of similarly-armored soldiers in space.

4.) Scary-looking saiyan woman enveloped in golden aura, fighting against a giant-sized Piccolo.

5.) A vaugley repitilian-looking alien standing with a taller, impeccably dressed blue humanoid. Both are intently observing something.

6.) Popo. But different.

>>42478921
Like Kato Kai?

>>42478954
Why would she get glimpses into the future that are of multiverses? Her universe isn't headed towards any of those outcomes, nor are the building blocks and necessary effort for any of those to exist existent.

>>42478990
Cause its a joke.

>>42478990
That's how bad she messes up.

She sees futures that aren't even relevant.

>>42478997
Is it a joke if you have to say it's a joke?

>>42479015
Only if a dumbass doesn't get it.

>>42478990

Flashes of insight and precognition that aren't very relevant to the situation or helpful at all.

It's also just something to pass the time while Kato is constructing additional scenes.

>>42479015
Only if someone takes it too seriously and actually has to ask about it, yes.

>>42479044
Insight and precognition is like reading ahead in a story, and then getting a window to do something that could change the story.

Just got super hostile in here.

>This is not a joke.

Am I doing it right guys?

>>42479015
If you have to say it's a joke then it's still a joke it's just a bad joke.

>>42479082
Not even hostile, just answered his question.

>>42479073

That's what it's supposed to do if you do it right.

If you do it wrong, or take it too far, then unhelpful things can happen.

>>42478714
But she'll try, and that's part of what makes her a qt3.14.

>>42479306
Exactly, that's why she can't help but slip into wrestling jargon and catch-phrases

>>42479425
>You're going to tell me everything or...uh..

>Or what?

And posing too, sometimes.

"Was there ever any doubt?" you ask a liiiiiittle smugly.

"Please place your hands on the crystal ball." Baba instructs, doing the same herself. You and brobro do as you're asked. "Now, focus on this... clear your mind of distractions..."

You and your brother take deep breaths, trying to focus, trying to access your foresight, and focusing what you can from it into the crystal ball. Something starts forming above it, and...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJEMi_AHOAE

Oh. Oh gods. You... you see Chi-chi appear above you all... "Whew. Okay, that's enough of a morning workout. Time to get a nice bath in." She starts to remove her clothes and... oh gods, wow.

Acer immediately pulls his hands back, the image fading. You glare at him accusingly. Baba... sighs. "Empty. Your. Minds. No distractions."

The two of you start up again, your brother hoping that you don't hold that against him. We'll see, brobro. We'll see. You both focus, focus hard, an image forming above you again. For a moment it seems to be Goku- wait no no no no! No! You take your hands away. Baba sighs again.

"Really, sis?" Acer asks.

"Sh-shut up. You were the one who distracted it first." Damn it damn it damn it.

"One more time." Baba states. Okay, okay, focus, clear your minds. It's... hey! That's a picture of... you... what? What is...

A dart of energy flies at it.

Oh.

A blue figure walks by in- oh gods damn it all! In... much of nothing, it seems. A WAY too revealing nightgown. Well ...not like her regular outfit left much to the imagination, though. Acer glares at you accusingly again, even more this time, but the two of you stop once you hear a somewhat familiar voice. "Towa, is it really necessary to collect these things?" Gero.

"Ah, but think of it this way. We'll be able to... help... those in need. We have only three left, don't we?" she asks... twirling the 1-star Dragon Ball around her telekinetically.

"One of them seems to be in the possession of that damnable girl's boyfriend. What should we do about it? Magil shouldn't risk an encounter with them again so soon..."

"We have time." Towa tells him. "All the time in the world." Towa seems to look at an... hourglass?

The image finally fades. You shake your head and grumble. "That... was more than I ever needed to see. But... we have an idea now. Kinda."

"I can't seem to pinpoint where that was on the planet..." Baba comments, then realizes something. "...because it's not on Earth."

"Shit." you blurt out. "If they're in the Demon Realm... Auntie Baba, is there a way to get in there, maybe contact Beelzebub?"

"I'll try to set something up, but it will take months..." she says with a sigh.

"Then... should we head out there right away?" you ask. Damn it all... at least they won't try anything with Goku. Yet.

Baba hops on her crystal ball again. "It would be wise, yes..."

"What about... trying to hide one, or breaking it, if necessary?" Acer questions, clenching his fists.

"...breaking it is the last resort." Baba tells you both.

You scratch your head. "Damn it all... okay, there are only two out there, we should..."

>A. Head out and grab one, but just one, so we don't alert their attention (which?)

>>A. Head out and grab one, but just one, so we don't alert their attention (which?)

The not Mifan one

>>42480279
>D. Grab one ourselves the closest one, use the scouter to comm some of the others to grab the other

>>42480279
>>42480314
This

>>42480181
It's a term for a masculine lesbian.

>>42480279
>B. Get both of them, immediately! Split up!

Alerting their attention doesn't seem like something we can really avoid. Towa already knows Goku has a dragon ball, so we may as well try and get as many as we can while we have the chance.

Also, if we leave the Mifan dragon ball alone, Towa's going to go grab it, and that could mean bad news for their entire country. We want to avoid that.

But, on the way there,

>D. Something else?
Stop by the lookout, let Kami, Trip, and Goku know what's happening, and see if Goku can come with us and Acer.

>>42480279
Get one and lay a trap on the other.

This works>>42480279

>>42480653
We can just add a scarf to the Turtle Master Outfit if it really bothers you that much.

>>42480314
If we aren't going to Mifan we should let Tao, Blue and Pilaf know.

Setting up a trap with Tao could be fun.

>>42480653
Also you could have chosen C at the beginning which would have led into choosing it. So yeah there was choice without looking ungrateful.

"We should get them both, as soon as possible, but perhaps have someone else get one of them. Tien, Chiaotzu, Tao, and Shen are in Mifan... brobro, can you keep your distance, but guide them to it?"

Your brother nods. "That seems reasonable. You should let Kami and everyone know about this, too. Going to head for the Dragon Ball yourself?"

You are about to say yes, but then think about it. "...not quite. I know some folks that'll make this seem a bit easier." you tell him with a playful smirk. You head out and fly off to Capsule Corp. On the way, you explain the situation to Kami, who thanks you for clarifying and informing him. You arrive shortly after you begin and sort of rush in, heading past a confused Yamcha.

"What's the rush, Maple?"

"Dragon Balls! Need the tiger and my camels!"

Yamcha stares at you blankly. "...What?"

You don't give much in the way of explanation, set on your goal. Your camels... they seem to be trying to help Baragon move a couch. Not very well, at that. The tiger just stares at them all. Judgingly. This'll have to wait. "Larry, Curly, Moe, we got something to do! Tiger, want another shiny ball?" You ask while projecting an image of the Dragon Ball into its mind. It seems excited at that. You notice Bulma out of the corner of your eye, in the lab. She slowly tries to move out to greet you, but you just explain the situation via Scouter.

"Her again, huh? Well thanks, Maple. I'll get Yamcha to help with your camels, sure he won't mind too much." she responds. You hear her sort of shout at him to help you, and Yamcha rushes in. You finally give a proper explanation, and the two of you head off, Yamcha carrying two of your camels and you carrying one, with the tiger on your back.

A little surprised, Yamcha starts talking with you telepathically. 'I could check what you've got planned, but I think I can figure out enough on my own. Towa, right?'

"Yeah. Her and Gero are collecting the Dragon Balls for... some reason." You and Yamcha head down on an island a short distance away from Kame House. Scouter shows the Dragon Ball is... 40 meters away.

>A. Have the camels lead the tiger to it, stay on guard with Yamcha
>B. Head to it with them
>C. Let them wander, would be less suspicious that way
>D. Something else?

Does a Dragon Ball not show up if it's in a capsule?

"All righty guys, you lead the way. We'll keep guard." you tell your camels. Telepathically you let the tiger know that they'll bring him to the shiny orb, the beast sitting at attention and sort of smiling at that. As Curly and Larry move forward, Moe stays back and heads off behind the tiger.

"...you ever think up a name for that thing?" Yamcha questions.

"...in all honesty? No. Just... kinda been calling him 'Tiger' I guess." you answer. Probably should think up something on that.

Yamcha looks out into the distance, sort of thinking to himself for a moment. "...hey, Maple?"

"Yeah?"

"Mind if we have a little spar?" he asks... a little bashfully.

You smile and nod. "Sure, but... there a reason for this? Come up with a new technique?"

"Well... yeah, but there's another reason..." he says with a remorseful smile. "...the baby's due in about two months."

...yeah. You could probably guess why now. "Not... going to be at the Tournament, you think?" You take your stance.

Yamcha takes his. "I'm not backing down on my training, but... I might not be at the Tournament. I... want to be there for her. "

"Her?" you ask with a little chuckle, blocking a kick directed at your gut. You try to return a kick of your own directed at his head, but Yamcha manages to block it easily. You back up slightly. "Bulma, or...?"

Yamcha laughs. "Yes." Oh you smartass! He seems to charge up Ki into his fist and lunges forward with it swiftly, you barely dodging in time. That could have hurt.

You grab Yamcha by the arm and toss him into the air, jumping up and trying an axe kick, Yamcha barely blocking it. He floats down to the ground, trying his technique again, though this time you're ready and kick him in the gut, his fist barely a few centimeters away from your face. Yamcha falls over, clutching his stomach for a moment, then laughing. You help him up. "Think up a name for her?"

"Aheh... well... Bulma and I have kinda settled on 'Pantea.'" he responds with an embarrassed smile, rubbing the back of his head.

"Mind's made up." he states bluntly. "That's what we'll name her."

You put your hands on your hips, staring out at the sea. "Man...I remember when I was little 9 year old trying to give you guys relationship advice? We've come a long way."

Yamcha smiles nostalgically. "Yeah... we have." He then nudges you in the shoulder. "Never thought I'd end up such good friends with some 'spoooooky' alien twins. Hah, then again, never really thought I'd be Goku's friend either when I met him." A sly smile creeps across his lips. "...guess it's a bit fitting that the space monkey ended up with the little space girl who became his best friend."

"Yamcha..." you grumble out with a sort of fake pout. Soon the camels arrive with the tiger, the big cat holding the 7-star Dragon Ball in its mouth, extremely pleased with itself. "Well, good job boys!"

>>42483209
>>42483281

>>42483380
>>42483281
Don't you get it? Rolling the dice is the only thing required of us now.

>>42483426

>>42483454
No, Maple is the one who acts. Write-ins are occasionally helpful though.

>>42483454
I dont think we, the players, are necessary now.

>>42483496
Sure we are. Maple's going to continue developing over time, as more and more things happen to her. She's not going to be the same girl forever.

The fact that we're less necessary than we were before her personality was established is nice, though.

>>42483496
>>42483492
Sooo choosing what skills to learn, who we teach, what tactical decisions to make, etc is something we haven't been doing? Theres still tough decisions ahead but for times like these its okay to let the established character take its course.

I think you are being really melodramatic anon.

>>42483549
I think I was just joking, really.

>>42483588

>>42483549

this faggoty arguement raises a good point, which dbz MC y'all reckon has the widest/most dynamic array of reactions to situations?

Yes I know this is going to basically boil down to which MC do you like best

>>42483669
Arctus

>>42483669
Maple. She's far and away the best-written out of all of them.

>>42483669
Kaguya, because the player base was all over the place and constantly stupid.

>>42483669
How do you mean? A character will always react to things in the way they react to things. It is known.

>>42483685
Best-written doesn't mean most variable in personality.

Honestly it might mean the exact opposite.

>>42483209
Kinda like Arctus?

>>42483669
Kaguya, he is the one that's basically faced an array of different jack asses that basically wanted to kill everyone.

>>42483669
In a sense Kaguya with how Schizo he was reacting to different enemies.

>Kill this enemy before he becomes a threat.
>Taunt this enemy and let him power up
>Spare this one for the lols
>Piss off Vegeta for SaltLol
>Gotta get gains!

Etc

>>42483730
That's a good point, actually. In that case, Kaguya, with Arctus in second.

>>42483730
Yeah, like, she's so well written that people already have an idea of what the next decision she makes is.

>>42483669

I think Maple has the capacity to jive with the most people.

Arctus is somewhat similar, but also may have the capability of doing horrible things to achieve his goals. Though he's ultimately "good", he didn't get to where he is in the PTO by being a swell guy 100% of the time.

>>42483765
He got there from nepotism and being the lovable drunk.

>>42483669
I like'em all.

They each have a special place in my head canon.

And hang out and compare their sets of 'Z-Fighters'

So in terms of being a good character in and of themselves everyone basically agrees to

Maple>Arctus>Kabuya>Kaguya

Fucking chuckles and his name being almost the same

>>42483788
True, but he's been forced to do terrible things to keep his post and to keep the Cold family happy. He might have to do more of the same until Cold himself is toppled.

>>42483817
No

>>42483789
>Why is your Vegeta a girl?
>Why isn't YOUR Vegeta a girl?
>Vegeta's a jerkbutt, Goku and I kicked his ass
>Oh, he end up haunting your mind too?

>>42483817
Basically, yeah. There's a bit more of a difference between them, though. It's more like

Maple >>Arctus>Kabuya>>Kaguya

>>42483669
Mable.

>>42483828
Woooow.

Thanks for that insightful retort. You are master, nay a grand master of explainations

>>42483817
Pretty much. Arctus needs more screentime.

SOM can't really do characterization very well. Kaguya's proposal to Videl was 4 short sentences.

>Want to get married?
>Really?
>Yeah.
>Okay

Then there actual wedding was skipped over in one sentence.

>>42483848
We need to punch out a unicorn some time. Unicorns are jerks.

>>42483864
The wedding happened in the crystal ball anon, it was similar to how Goku and Chi chi ended up getting married.

>>42483889
What do you have against Unicorns?

>>42483922
He played leapfrog with one

>>42483789
>>42483842
I can only imagine the comparisons of their Gokus. Arctus might have a bit of a heads-up in that since he had all those doors and stuff, but it'd be funny to compare notes. Kabu would probably be vaguely disgusted.

>>42483955
I think Arctus still thinks Maple is an Earthling and not a Tuffle.

>>42483864
I agree, but I think the bigger issue is that Kaguya is such a non-entity, even within his own story. When falls under SOM not being good at characterization, but the quest has been going on for so long that you'd think he'd have some sort of defining traits, but he really doesn't.

Try and describe Maple without mentioning her appearance, her race, her powers, or her job. It's easy, right?

Now try and do the same thing with Kaguya. You literally can't.

Sometimes, but other times he's very humble; sometimes within like three posts before or after being arrogant.

I guess you could argue for that, but I see that as being part of his job. This doesn't really distinguish him from any of the other characters.

"Say, um... tiger... you okay with just 'Tiger' or you want a different name?" you ask, petting it on the head.

It reacts to you with curiosity, dropping the Dragon Ball in front of it and batting it back and forth for a moment. You try a few names. "Shemp." Tiger doesn't like that one. "Ted." Nope. "Gilbert." Nuh-uh. "Seinfeld." It just seems confused by that one. "Seth." Nada. "Jackie."

"Isn't that a girl's name?" Yamcha points out, confused by where you keep coming up with these.

"Hrmn... Groucho? You do seem like a 'Groucho' sometimes." you ask next, your arms crossed and a bit of a frustrated expression on your face. For... some reason, it likes that one. "Groucho." ...this tiger is weird.

"Well, guess that's settled." Yamcha laughs.

"Yeah..." you sigh out. Weird tiger. "Say, Amuro, how's the baseball thing been going?"

"Pretty good, actually. I... may be a bit too strong for it, so I've been helping the rest of the team kinda train up. They're fairly tough for regular folks, now. Hah, and they're all pretty good pals." Yamcha looks at you curiously. "Say... we've actually got a couple more things to watch some time, if you and Acer ever feel like it. Short mini-series and a movie."

>A. Hah, sure, let's watch after the Tournament!
>B. Let's watch soon! I'll see if Acer's up for it
>C. Nah, let's wait a while on that, still got some things to focus on
>D. Something else?

Sorry about the wait, guys. Wife and I are kinda gonna be heading off for some grub in a bit.

Yamcha's going to be busy soon. We need to pal around with him some more before the baby's born. Oh man, we could do the sleepover. Have we watched War in the Pocket? Because if not, we should watch War in the Pocket.

>>42484329
Aghhh, I thought we were gonna have a tiger named Tiger like our dad and his turtle.

>D. Let's watch soon! Also, can Krillin join?

>>42484329
>>B. Let's watch soon! I'll see if Acer's up for it

Damnit anon you are making me hungry.

We'll be back in a bit, folks. Archived just in case.

>>42484503
Have a good dinner.

So is it agreed that we are going to sit raditz down after beating the the tar out of him rather then murdering the dude?

>>42484621
Obviously, when has Maple ever indiscriminately killed someone?

>>42484621
We might, Piccolo on the other hand

>>42484621
Don't even need to beat him up. Just sit at a resting PL of 3k to tell him he is outclassed but not super high that'd he'd run away.

>>42484654
Piano, Tamborine

>>42484689
Too be fair they kinda did kill her brother.

So if Maple could equal exchange other DB MC's what techniques would she pick up and what do you think they'd learn from her?

I like Kabuya's exploding after image and bear claws.

The only thing from Kags would be skybreaker and rampage drive. But those would be reworked to actually...yknow be useful.

...I'm also not sure of Arctus's skill set. He'd probably just teach her robots and engineering stuff.

King vegeta, but he had it coming

That's the justification a murderer uses

>>42484740
Okay then she's a murderer then by your classification. I mean its fucking Dragonball, people were always going to get ganked occasionally.

>>42484714
Kaguya could give Flashbang

Arctus has that like energy spear move or something, its been awhile.

>>42484714
Destructo Sword for Kags.

Kid/Early Teen
Arrogant and cocky, easily distracted. Sometimes repeats past mistakes. More lenient on giving people second chances. Actions end up causing a bigger mess even though he means well. An unbreakable willpower.

Late Teen/Early Adult
Mellowed out, isn't as hot headed as he was as a kid. More focused, using his experience from his past mistakes. Not as lenient as he was as child with second chances, still has that unbreakable willpower.
