On applying to ExitVoid.

[notjustsaiyan]

It still seems kind of funny that you want to play me, but...

If that's what you want to do, I'll give it my best! There'll be a lot of people to help on that island! Even if I'm alone, I can't let anyone down.

GET IN LOSER WE'RE GOING RPING

[braining]

Hey, me too! Going to that island, I mean. So I guess you won't be totally alone.

OH BOY MY FIRST SIB TAG.

[notjustsaiyan]

It's just a little scary to fight on my own...

But maybe we can meet up once we get in!

relish it

[braining]

Of course! I'm pretty sure there's not gonna be anyone I know either, so that's... Wait, fighting? Who are we fighting?

the novelty is so immense.

[notjustsaiyan]

Monsters. They're all over the place on the island, and sometimes worse ones show up.

My player said so.

and you get it for free

[braining]

Monsters. Like... real, hiding-under-your-bed big teeth and claws monsters. Not grave-metaphor-for-guys-who-put-bunnies-in-blenders kind of monsters.

[ awsm. Well, it can't be worse than psychic bears. Probably. ]

Okay... That makes things a little more complicated, but don't you worry! Just hang in there. I can so handle monsters.

[notjustsaiyan]

I don't think they're as bad as the dinosaur that lives around my house. ... Not as big, anyway.

I'm not worried about fighting them. [He's worried about missing everyone at home, but Gohan doesn't want to keep whining about that.] It looks like there's a lot of people there that have been, already.

[braining]

Wait. What? You have a dinosaur at your house?

[ yes, of course that is the part Raz is focusing on. He only had an exceptionally miniscule pony!! What a rip-off. ]

[notjustsaiyan]

Not at my house, nearby, [he corrects, and then blinks innocently.]

Don't you have dinosaurs on your planet? We do on Earth.

[braining]

No, of course not! Not any that aren't big bags of bones, at least. But I'm from Earth, too. [ ... Wow, that sounds more like something Chloe would say. But he shrugs it off, gesturing a bit excitedly. ] How does that work?

[notjustsaiyan]

Huh? [Looking at him with more interest, now, because Gohan is just always curious.] I don't know, we've always had them.

Do you think you're from a different timeline, maybe? I don't think there'd be two planets called Earth. Vegeta-san said we were pretty backwater.

[braining]

Dinosaurs. Man, that is so cool. [ forgive him, gohan. ] ... Different timelines? I guess that would make sense, especially if both of us getting brought to a big creepy island also somehow makes sense. Who's Vegetasan?

[ observe his pro Japanese skills ]

[notjustsaiyan]

[Don't worry, he'll find it cool if/when he finds out you're psychic...] I met someone from the future recently, so it could be true. I still don't really know how it works, though.

--It's just Vegeta, [he says belatedly, but doesn't seem at all bothered by his ~pro Japanese~.] He's a friend of my dad's. ... Kind of a friend.

[braining]

And I'm guessing from him saying Earth is backwater that he's... an alien, right? [ DID HE SOLVED PUZZLE?? Admittedly, it sounds far-fetched, but this kid also has dinosaurs living near his house and is from another timeline, so hey, why not. ]

[notjustsaiyan]

Uh... yeah. Do you not have those either? I've met a lot of them.

[They clearly seem totally normal to him, too. But he's still going to keep his own half-alien nature to himself for now, because Gohan's truthfully never been all that comfortable with it.]

[braining]

Okay, why is your Earth so much cooler than ours? [ But he's mostly teasing on that. After all, he bet that Gohan's Earth didn't have the PSYCHONAUTS!! ... wait, answer the question, Raz. ] Uh... I don't wanna say we don't have aliens, but if they're out there, we haven't met them yet. I'm preeetty sure some people are working on that, though.

[notjustsaiyan]

Most people on Earth don't know about them. My family just... um, got involved. [He seems a little sheepish as he admits that, in fact, as if it's mildly embarrassing.]

Are aliens really that cool?
