((Note: I may end up vanishing again, so be prepared for this thread to slow way down if that happens. I'm trying to be more active with everything that's going on. My apologies in advance! ^^ ) “Commander Clive will save the day!~” Tania sang to herself cheerfully as she pushed a large block of concrete across one of the many cracked roads that ran through the ruins. The discordant noise of the two rough materials scraping against each other didn’t really blend well with the mechanical child’s singing, but it didn’t really seem to bother her. “From bad guys he won’t run away!~” she continued on in the same chipper tune. Tania had been exploring the ruins of this seemingly forgotten city for the past hour. As a “seasoned” adventurer, a place like this had drawn her in like a magnet. Surely old ruins had plenty of treasure hidden in its many nooks and crannies! Unfortunately, Tania hadn’t really uncovered anything interesting as of yet. However, rather than get disappointed over the lack of treasure, she figured she would just make her own! That way the next adventurer who decided to explore the city would have something cool to find! What she may have had in mind wasn’t exactly treasure in the traditional sense, but there was only so much in the area to work with. She was going to make a fort out of all the junk littered around and claim it for the BBA! “If you see him, stand tall and say!~” She eventually pushed the large concrete block over to what looked like the very beginnings of a makeshift structure that was made out of similar blocks. It was a little challenging to find big enough pieces that weren’t too jagged to fit together, but Tania was always up for a challenge. It was like a giant jigsaw puzzle! “GO COMMANDER! HIP HIP HOORAY!~” She finished the last little bit of her favorite show’s theme song as loud as her voice would go as she slid the new block into place. Alright! She almost had two of the walls done. Now all she had to do was find some more suitable building material and maybe a metal sheet that she could put over the top. It wouldn’t be much of a fort if it didn’t have a roof. And what would she use for the door? “Hmm...” As she thought about what she could use, she lifted herself into the air so she could survey her surroundings for more building materials.

Almost immediately after she had floated into the sky, Tania would hear the raging yell of a young Saiyan.
"THIS PLACE IS MINE!" She would hear the reverberating voice as a bluish blur dashed across the horizon, steadily approaching.
"LEAVE NOW OR I'LL..." Heel to the dirt, Negi came to a complete stop. Smoke rising from his heels, he quickly moved to blow away the smoke. The boy frowned, foreseeing the return of his most infernal of all enemies - the foot blister.
The boy shook his head, realizing that he had come here for a reason. But why had he stopped? He asked himself as he looked up. He couldn't believe his eyes. He thought that someone may have encroached on Negi's territory; someone who was a threat. But now, all he saw were those bluish-grey eyes. Realizing that he was gaping, the boy stood up straight and clamped his mouth shut. Negi breathed slowly through his nose, once, twice, and opened his eyes.
Negi began to float upward, and continued to rise until he was face to face with the intruder. The young saiyan cleared his throat and scratched his head, elbow bent upward. This close, he couldn't maintain eye contact, so he shifted his look off to the side. It wasn't that he felt nervous, the young saiyan simply had not seen a female for almost five years. What should he say?
"Uh... Sorry for yelling at you," he began. "What's your name? What are you doing here?"
Looking around, he took notice of the small building below, and furrowed his eyebrows curiously.
"Did you make that?"

“Huh?” Tania spun around in midair as an enraged shout filled the air. What was with the yelling? Ruins like these weren’t supposed to have boss monsters unless there was actual treasure to guard, weren’t they? Why would they stick around otherwise? Whatever the answer to that question might have been, there was definitely someone dashing in her direction. As he got closer he yelled yet again, demanding that she left immediately. However, he cut himself off in the middle of his sentence as he skidded to a halt.
Tania blinked, trying to see through the thick cloud of dust that had been kicked up. Once again, she was grateful for the fact that she didn’t need to breathe. As it turned out, the one doing all of the yelling had been a Saiyan. That much should have been obvious though. Vegeta was their home world.
Completely unfazed by the teenager’s yelling just a moment ago, Tania gave him a wide grin and an enthusiastic wave as he started ascending to meet her face to face. “Hi!” she piped up as he came to a stop. The size difference between them was quite noticeable since she was a small child for all intents and purposes.
“That’s okay. My name’s Tania. What’s yours?” she asked. Whoever he was, he didn’t sound mad anymore now that he was actually over here talking to her. Did that mean he was a new friend? Those were always nice! And what was even better than a new friend was a new friend that noticed her handiwork! “Do you like it?” Tania beamed. “It’s not done yet, but it’s going to be a super cool fort!”

Maximillion TepesSaiyan/Demon Hybrid [Power Level: 6,700 <after the waning of the Makyo Star>]
He didn't know the layout of the land yet, but the ship had touched down in a mostly ruined part of Vegeta-sei. After saying their farewells, Arias and Presto had left, presumably to go about their business, leaving Maximillion in the space by himself.
At some point during his trip, the great surge in strength he had felt there for awhile was just suddenly....gone. He got the impression he was fairly stronger than he had been during his trials in the desert of the Planet Earth, but he was still weaker than he had been for the past week. He couldn't even explain how he noticed, except that - a few mornings ago - he had woke up, and as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, his body had felt heavier. In the days that followed, he had begun to acclimate to this, and it felt less strange, but whatever had been responsible for his great surge in power, it had come and gone.
After Arias and Presto left Vegeta-sei, Maximillion had set about finding a space to set up a makeshift 'base' of sorts, with the intention of Warding it against intrusion, and setting up a spot where he could run and hide if things got hairy on this planet.
Of course, even after he thought he'd found a place, and had spent a night here, he woke up to the sound of people talking outside of the ruins. Maximillion was partly buried under the dirt and rubble - a concealment technique he had acquired in his youth - so he wasn't immediately visible, and he was already accustomed to instinctively concealing his presence when he awoke (no matter his surroundings). He slowly slid out of his concealment, brushing off the dust and debris from his clothes. He allowed just enough of his Presence to envelop his physical form ((Power Level reading would be at about 900 right now)), a gradual rise, as though to imply that he had just arrived on the scene.
"Umm, hey there.." He said, a bit timidly. It wasn't really an act, he had no idea what to expect on this planet.
"Umm, my name is Karos.." he'd realized his demonic name Qros had also been partly inspired by his Saiyan father, who'd imparted upon him the variation Karos. After talking to Arias and Presto, he had learned a little of the Saiyan naming conventions, so he figured this was as good a time as any to get used to the Saiyan variation of his name.
"I don't recognize the two of you. Are you from around here??"
Make it less about him, and more about them. Maybe that would be the safest bet. It already looked like his idea of using this spot as a makeshift base wasn't going to work, since this other individual seemed intent upon claiming it too, and a skirmish wasn't in Maximillion's best interests.

"Huh," Negi said as he paced around the makeshift fortress, scratching the itch on the back of his head that never seemed to go away. "Nice work. I've got a cool trick I could show you though."
He turned back around to Tania, and waved with a smile.
"Tania, huh? Nice to meet you. I'm Negi!" Then, with a slightly serious note to his voice, he asked, "So, why are you out here all alone making a fort? How old are you, even? So..." He paused, rubbing the nonexistent hair on his chin contemplatively. Before Negi could speak, however, he felt the presence of another intruder coming near. The young Saiyan turned quickly, but took care not to whip Tania with his hair. Going down to nearly the bottom of his knees, it occasionally got in the way or caused him some kind of trouble.
As he focused his sight, he laid eye on a dark-skinned Saiyan - an odd sight for Negi. He'd never seen a Saiyan with dark skin and a gold-ish tint to their eyes. He felt his Ki begin to swell up, but he took a quick second to breathe as he looked the man over. He didn't feel.... Dangerous, and his Ki felt average - not like an elite's. The world sped back up again as he released the energy he had built up. The boy took a confident step forward.
"Karos, huh?" Negi asked, eyes filled with indignation. "Am I from around here? I lived here for three years, and I've trained here for five!"
Falling over onto his but, Negi began rubbing his forehead as he sighed a short curse. Breathing outward, the boy gave up. What, was his home going to become a party house now? He turned his head to look over at Tania and her fort, and back to her before crossing his legs and shutting his mouth. He'd stay quiet till these two explained themselves.

Tania watched with anticipation as the teenager lowered himself to inspect her work. He made a thoughtful circle around it. Two walls may not have been much, but it’s not like the blocks she was finding were perfectly square or anything. She had to actually dig through the debris for a while to actually find pieces that would fit together! He seemed impressed though. ”Ooh! What kind of trick? Are you a magician?” she squealed excitedly as she moved to land in front of him. She’d never seen a real life magician before.
”Nice to meet ‘cha, Negi!” She was still excitedly waiting to see what kind of trick he had in mind. Was he going to pull a rabbit out of a hat? Was he first going to make a hat appear out of nowhere since he didn’t appear to have one on him? Oh! Maybe it was a card trick! His tone got a little more serious as he first started to ask her a couple more questions, but he was interrupted by a man with dark skin and dark hair arriving on the scene. Was that the trick? Did he make that guy appear out of thin air? Negi didn’t sound like he had been prepared for his arrival, so probably not. Oh well.
”Hi!” Tania greeted the newcomer with the same enthusiasm that she had used to greet Negi. She liked making friends! Two potential friends in one day was always a good thing in her book! ”Karos? That’s a cool name. My name’s Tania!” She listened closely as Negi explained that he lived in the ruins. Huh? This placed seemed awfully gloomy to actually live in. Ruins were cool and all, but not so much when they weren’t actually hiding any treasure. Maybe Negi had found cool things that she hadn’t.
”And I’m an adventurer, novice space explorer, and BBA ambassador from Earth!” Tania announced confidently with her thumb pointing to her chest. ”I wanted to explore Vegeta because I thought it looked neat the last time I was here. Then I heard about the ruins and wanted to come take a look. I couldn’t find any shiny treasures or anything, so I wanted to build something cool instead!” she answered, partially explaining herself to Karos and partially answering Negi’s earlier question.
She looked back at the Saiyan teenager to address his second question. However, she hesitated. That was weird. How old was she exactly? Maybe the last time she needed to be repaired, her memory storage unit had been a little too damaged to save every bit of information she had. ”You know what? I don’t remember exactly how long I’ve been active. My clock must have reset on me,” she answered nonchalantly. Not seeing it as important, she turned back to look over her fort again. ”Hey! I have a great idea! Wanna help me finish building it? It still needs to more walls and a roof. Oh! A door is important too. Maybe a window? What do you guys think?”

Maximillion sensed no killing intent from either of these individuals, or at least not on an overt level. He knew all too well that people could hide their true intentions, but they didn’t appear any more likely to go on a killing spree than he was. He didn’t have much experience here on Vegeta-sei yet, and he couldn’t tell if they were Saiyans or not. Even though his heightened sense of smell could often pinpoint somebody’s race and place of origin (the latter more ‘iffy’), he could only do that with races he had spent a lot of time around, and had become familiarized with. Saiyans were definitely not that, since the only Saiyans he had ever personally met had been his Father, and Arias. “The B-B-A..” He sounded out each letter carefully. “Sorry. My time on Earth was brief, and the name doesn’t ring a bell, but well met nonetheless!” He said cheerily. He sniffed the air a few times – he really didn’t know proper etiquette, did he? Sniffing around like a common dog – and moved his tongue around in his mouth a little. Slightly metallic, He thought to himself, mentally analyzing the scent with his senses of Smell and Taste, and eying the female up and down. Moreso than human blood with the Zinc content. Is she an automaton of some sort? He then turned to the male. I don’t *think* he is human, but it’s hard to tell. “Tania…Negi…a pleasure to meet the both of you. I’m Karo-… oh yeah, I already said that.” He was thankful for his darker complexion right about now, as he felt his face grow hot. “Ah, so, I do have a very particular set of skills that might be useful for an endeavor like this!” He extended his left hand towards some of the rubble, and a faint purple glow lifted up a pile of rocks and dirt. With a sudden motion, snapping his hand a flat palm into a fist with a jerk, he willed the mass of dirt and stone to suddenly compress tightly, and was suddenly enveloped in a cloud of dirt and dust. When it faded moments later, it was a smooth, flat, brown-beige panel of stone. He made a motion with his left hand, like a Conductor before a symphony, and the panel slid to the ground. Maximillion repeated the motion twice, thrice, each time finishing by laying another smooth panel up against the others. “…as you can see, this might be your lucky day, as my particular set of skills is well-suited for this kind of task!”
[OOC: Trivial, but I'll officially jot this down anyways... Maximillion is using Chōnōryoku to perform these feats of Minecraft-esque awesomeness ]

Negi glowered at the two, fists on hips and a single raised eyebrow. He glared at Karos obstructively. After a few seconds, though, the effort became too great. He broke eye contact and looked up into the sky. He blew away a strand of hair in his eye giving up. "Okay, fine, but we have to make it awesome. I don't want to have to look at an ugly fort when I'm training." He chuckled quietly. Hmmm... He wondered. Well, if they needed a door, and a roof... They would probably need something big and solid... Ah ha! "I have an idea!" He said, "I know where the best ruins are, and Karos can shape it..." He looked over to Tania. "I'm sure we'll have to work together. Some of this stuff is reeeeeally heavy."He wondered what they would think of his newly formed plan... Tania

[OOC: 6 weeks is more than generous, skipping Tania ]Maximillion nodded, that definitely sounded like a good idea. If nothing else, having a Base of Operations could give them a way to organize....well, he wasn't sure WHAT they would organize, but it was always good to have a place to call your own, and that could serve as a rendezvous point for all involved. He was still getting the impression, somehow, that there was something else, something else he should be paying attention to... With a shake of his head, as though to clear the doubts from his mind, Maximillion took a deep breath, punched the fist of his right hand into the palm of his left, then turned to Negi. "So, I guess all that's left is to head towards where these Ruins you speak of are, Mr. Negi, and we can get started. Then, all that would be left, is to figure out what we want to do next."
The next bit, he had to admit, he didn't know how to say. He suspected, by this point, his arrival would be noticed. He didn't know how advanced (or primitive) Saiyan technology was, but it wasn't like ships could come or go from most planets' orbits without somebody noticing.
"Also, let's just keep a lookout, too. Just in case, you know..." he faltered for a moment, trying to think of the right wording. He didn't want to come off as suspicious. "...in case there are Bandits, or anyone else who might want to cause us problems."
[OOC: This is as good a thread as any, I think everyone else is done with this thread, so I'm moving on. Zucceta , I am coming for you! <beginning travel to Earth using one-use Spacepod, 24-hour Timeframe beginning at 4:44pm EST 06/17/2016>]

Apologies, I thought I'd indicated my preference.
Power Level, and preferrably rounded (whether it's rounded UP or DOWN) to the nearest 100.
For example, right now, my Power Level is 8285...but I'd MUCH prefer it just be 8,200 than have those last two digits just dangling on the end.
I'd like my PL boost to reflect this preference, please.
