Regarding the upcoming arc

[tochangethefuture]

You know, I'm not going back for a social call.

[Well, sure. It's still–]

There is nothing exciting about a threat in my present that I need help to handle!

[…Except yes there is?]

…You are incorrigible.

[timequeen]

You went back in time again? What did I tell you about that?

[IT'S A MORTAL SIN, TRUNKS, depending on her mood at the time but still.]

[tochangethefuture]

…Apparently? I haven't gone back yet?

[He swears? He only found out about this today, give him a break please!]

[timequeen]

Do you know how much work you make for me and the others when you do this?

[Work that Trunks will probably end up doing, tbf.]

Just because it worked out okay one time doesn't make it a good idea, you know.

[tochangethefuture]

I wouldn't be going back, if there was any other way.

[Time travel has already backfired once at him, after all. Sort of. Depending on how you look at the situation with Cell. In any case, he knows what he's doing. Have some faith, Kaioshin-sama!]

[timequeen]

[ She's not sure that's true, because sometimes people just have to die and worlds just have to be destroyed and she's not sure how good Trunks is at accepting that yet. ]

Well, we'll have to see what the actual situation is, I suppose. By the sound of it, this "Black Goku" stuff might not even be your fault.

[Might??? Supreme Kai of Time, that's unfair.]

[tochangethefuture]

[When it's his own world that's dying, he's definitely the worst. He'll freely admit to that.

Also, damn straight it is! It's not like Trunks wants to see his time line endangered.]

I'd like to think that it won't be.

[torankusu]

[ So this guy looks pretty familiar? ]

Going back where exactly?

[tochangethefuture]

[Weird, huh? Hi kiddo, he'll give you some time to figure it out yourself.]

To the past. Or the alternate past, I guess?

[His own past isn't going to do much good; not with his own self and Gohan-san being weaker than him. # time travel is complicated]

[torankusu]

[ Trunks talking to Trunks? This is Dragon ball, not weird at all. ]

Oh. So you're a time traveler, huh? I guess that's cool.

[tochangethefuture]

[Point taken! It's kind of awesome, actually.]

Glad to hear you approve.

[strongest_in_the_universe]

Oh course you'd finally show up like a sneaking coward only after you let others deal with me...

[tochangethefuture]

It's not really that surprising; my help was never needed to deal with the likes of you in first place anyway.

The outcome hasn't changed much either, has it?

[songohan]

Wow, Trunks! I hope things aren't too bad if you have to come back like this.

[tochangethefuture]

I do too.

[Though honestly, he has a really bad feeling about this. Especially with this Black Goku person around.]

Have things been good for you guys at least?

[songohan]

From the looks of it! Dad's been taking part in a tournament with Vegeta and Piccolo and I guess it looks like I'm going to need to make myself stronger. Or at least, that's pretty much what I know.

[tochangethefuture]

Sounds eventful.

[Tournaments with Goku usually are, judging by his mom's old stories.]

I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing well though!
