Homeless. Meet the future timeline's Gohan!

[neededahand]

Some of the things you're telling me don't add up. Bulma finished the time machine and Trunks beat the androids, sure. There's a teenage Vegeta with Trunks who lives underwater, okay.

But this thing about dropping me into games? That's a bit harder to work with.

I'm sure you'd be fine. If you give those game things a chance, they're usually pretty fun!

((OoC: Would Gohan be one-handed or not? If he is, I suppose I can just pass it off as Goku... being Goku, and not noticing it at first.))

Sorry, I should have specified. Let's keep it simple and say he does have it :)

[stares. For a long while. He might mouth the word 'daddy?' before getting a grip and trying to look strong. But his tone is less confident and resigned--almost like it was as a child.]

I-I guess. The fact that they're games just sounds so strange, though.

Sounds good!

[4starsavior]

...Yeah, that is kinda weird. Never really thought about it before, I guess.

Re: Sounds good!

[Looks down and smiles at that. Somehow, he isn't incredibly surprised.]

Do games happen to you a lot?

[4starsavior]

Yep! My mun's got me in one right now! It's called luceti, an' it's actually pretty nice - plus, Bulma an' Vegeta are there, even if they're a lot younger than I am. [About twenty years younger, in fact.]

[neededahand]

Much younger? How much younger? How can that even be possible?

[Honest confusion because his father died fairly young.]

[4starsavior]

Let me think... Well, Bulma's from before the Androids showed up, and Vegeta's a little later than that - we were in the middle of fighting 'em.

[baddestman]

[Just. What?]

... What?

[neededahand]

[His tone is more matter-of-fact than the main Gohan, but for Trunks' sake, his surprise that you'd even make known that you noticed the statement is kept polite.]

That's what I'm told. I haven't asked how they breathe yet.

[baddestman]

[Bah! It's not like he's admitting anything at all! Nope!]

Incredible. And here I thought I had heard it all concerning the 'misadventures' of my other selves.

[neededahand]

[Still. Politely uneasy.]

It threw me for a loop, too. I can't imagine you like that. Or the kid having to deal with it.

<small<[Ask about that kid of yours he's helping raise :| If you're far enough long time-wise.]

[baddestman]

[Oh, he's past the end of DBZ and into that little special "The Return of Goku and Friends." So, he can't really help but ask.]

Yes. The kid.

... You mean Trunks, yes?

[neededahand]

[Well, can't tell by looking~

Gohan nods. He can't discern canon point, either!]

Yeah. He's a great kid. Gets stronger every day. I'm proud of him.
