Ahh, the bamboo forest! Such beauty! The lush green forest below reminded the pink-clad Namekian of his old home.
So it wouldn't be a complete surprise to say that he absolutely hated this damn place!
Slu'guis had lost count of how many times he'd gotten himself lost here. All the greenery below him just looked the same, really. No one could blame him for that, right? Slu'guis probably had all the survival and navigational instincts of a legless squirrel. Slu'guis let out a deep sigh. Why did bad things always keep happening to him? Did he really deserve to get lost in this bamboo forest on a practically weekly basis? Sure, he got here by running from all his problems, but hey, people did that! They just didn't literally fly off, like Slu'guis did.
And so, the disheartened Namekian flew overtop the bamboo forest, looking for some kind of landmark, some kind of anything that wasn't green. Unfortunately, the Namekian was having no such luck. Green pole... green pole... green pole.... massive wooden stick... green pole... Wait, that didn't seem right. The Namekian's head snapped towards the alien object. he raised a non-existent eyebrow in the thing's general direction. If it was there, then that meant someone needed to put it there! If someone needed to put it there, maybe they were still there!
It was an unlikely gamble, but Slu'guis didn't exactly have a plethora of options at that very moment. He did the flight-equivalent of meandering over to the exceptionally large pole. Looking down he saw... something. Something... golden? Hm.
Slu'guis slowly descended down beside the pole, looking down at the golden object below him. Out of curiosity, he flew to the side slightly to get a better angle to look at it...
It was a person.
That's when Slu'guis lost his concentration and plummeted to the ground just a few metres from the human girl, landing with a thud. Sitting up abruptly, he looked up at her and immediately scooched back, curling into the fetal position.

The ‘massive green pole’ in question was nothing more than a seven foot tall Bamboo Pole in Ryder’s hands as the woman deftly weaved through her garden. Graceful strokes caused the tip of one end to sever weeds at the soil level or to harvest vegetables for the evening’s dinner into a basket by her side.
Suddenly out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of a familiar blur. ~That thing again? Is it ever going to leave me alone?~ initially the woman had exercised extreme caution but gradually- over the course of days or weeks- she had grown accustomed to it, even a bit annoyed by it. “Wait… WHAT!?” No sooner had Ryder turned back to her work than she found her attention snatched right back to that blur. It wasn’t flying onwards as usual, no it flew directly towards her position!
Instantly Ryder leaped backwards, cradling the bamboo pole against her side and bracing it against the ground as one would brace a spear for a charge. Once it was secure she lifted her left hand deftly, a sphere of ki beginning to swell within her grasp.
To her surprise this was not attack at all. The green… human-shaped… thing crashed almost directly where she’d been standing moments ago, crushing some of her Malabar spinach in the process.
“You… weren’t attacking?” The woman could only stand there dumbfounded as she watched this thing coil up into the fetal position as if in agony or fear. Though she remained cautious, Ryder wasn’t the sort to attack without just cause. Reabsorbing the ki from her palm she firmly gripped the bamboo pole in both hands and lightly poked the creature. “Are you OK? Can you understand my language? How were you flying?”

He wasn't dead! That was as good a start as any.
The timid, pink-clad Namekian raised his head and looked at the human girl in front of him. She might be poking him with a seven-foot-stick, but hey, it's better than being stabbed with it. Slu'guis slowly rose to his feet, processing the questions asked by the human girl.
"No, I, uh, don't attack, yeah! I'm... warrior clan, you know, but not.. really my... cup of tea..." Slu'guis trailed off, and as he did, he took a nearby bamboo branch and gave himself a good whack over the head with it. God, why was he so stupid? How could someone be as unlucky as the poor pink and green man. He let out a silent sob.
Language! He sure did speak her language. "Language! Words, I sure do.. words... I can do lots of .... words, sentences... haha... yeah..." Slu'guis hit himself over the head with the bamboo pole once more. He turned away from the human girl for a moment and let out a momentary screech. "WHY DO I DO THESE THINGS." He wailed, taking deep breaths.
He turned and immediately put a smile on his face. No big deal! Just two... three small mistakes. He'd get through this. Flight! He knew all about that! His teachers back on the 'Nam (as in Namek, not Vietnam!) taught him well, this he was sure of! Flight was a piece of cake, real easy! You just needed to... well...
"Yeah, you just, like, take your... something.. and force that something.. into... other somethings, to create things, I think, haha. Then you fly!" The bamboo pole went flying into his head once more. He couldn't even explain the thing he used the most- running away! He fell to his knees and let out another pained wail. Why did he even exist? Did the universe just hate him?
Instead of having an existential crisis, Slu'Guis's attention was caught by the impressive building that sat next to him. He turned to it and gave it a slight tap. His eyebrow-muscles furrowed as he looked over the place. It seemed... nice, honestly. He wouldn't have minded living out here for a change. It was a great change in scenery from his apartment, at least. Maybe if he lived here, he wouldn't get lost as much! Or maybe he'd just be lost all the time...
Slu'guis's mouth cemented itself into a straight line as he turned towards the human girl, who he'd momentarily forgotten about. Then he realized how strange it was to have a green man fall from the sky, spout absolute nonsense, then hit himself with bamboo. He then took a moment to look down and realize that he landed in some kind of garden. "Oh! S-Sorry about the-" In his attempts to leave the garden, another plant was crushed. "Oh, um, yeah! NO, I mean, that's... I didn't mean to, haha, you know... do any of that..."
Once Slu'Guis finally made it out of the garden, without stepping on anything else, he sat and put his head in his hands.

~Warrior Clan huh…. Looks like there is definitely a species of this freak, it’s not a one-off. And how the hell does such a pussy survive growing up in a Warrior Clan to begin with!? And why the hell does this dumbass keep hitting himself?~ Although the thought occurred to Ryder to distrust this green skinned creature, she’d get nowhere at all if she didn’t assume it was at least partly speaking the truth… tempered by a liberal dose of skepticism and caution.
She could only click her tongue in frustration at the way the useless piece of shit in front of her described the art of flight. Clearly it was more on the level of an instinct for his people. Ryder’s book on Ki Control glossed over the subject of flight, explaining it more in theory than instruction. Even amidst her frustration though, the green man showed her respect by carefully extracting himself from her garden, a notion she appreciated.
“You don’t have to worry too much big guy, I always over plant everything so I can harvest as they mature by thinning. You haven’t done any serious harm here. So tell me, why’d you crash here? While you’re at it, you got a name?”
OOC: I checked your profile, couldn’t find any reference to Slu’guis’ size. I’m assuming that as a Warrior Clan member he’d be of similar stature to Nail and Piccolo Junior

Woah, no verbal abuse. That's not the response he really expected from the human girl. He thought that she'd just tell him to leave, and then he'd go get lost again, probably. Truthfully, that prospect didn't seem like a very attractive one to the pink-clad Namekian, and so he was glad that the girl kept the peace. However, getting the peace to be kept was an entirely different story. Ooooh boy.
At least, to Slu'guis, the girl didn't seem all too threatening. Maybe she was even friendly? At the very least, it wasn't instant hate, which was more than Slu'guis usually expected. You know how it goes, one with no expectations can't exactly have those expectations broken. Slu'guis looked at the human girl as timidly as a large green man could. Perhaps there was merit to this situation after all!
The girl talked of over-planting the crops which he accidentally stepped on. On that same note, Slu'guis was incredibly thankful that he hadn't just destroyed her only food source, or some other sort of foolishness. But! The fact that she grew crops and seemed to live in a.. how would you say, 'natural' home, Slu'guis could safely assume that this was her home. The bamboo woods! It really would be a nice place to live, now that Slu'guis thought about it. Shame that all Slu'guis ever seemed to do in these forests was be a disappointment, though.
If she lived here, then she probably knew the place pretty well. If she knew it well, then perhaps she could teach Slu'guis! It was a perfect idea, in his mind. No more getting lost among the sea of green. Now that he really thought about it, the bamboo could be the size of a large Namekian. Slu'guis's brow furrowed as he imagined a forest comprised entirely of Namekians. He soon banished that thought from his mind.
Right! The human girl had spoken. It would be uncourteous of the green man to not respond. Slu'guis shook his head to relieve him of his idle daydreaming. "Right, overplanting... That's.. probably smart, just in case you have more of me falling on them. Not that, you know, I'll try to land on them, or, well, crush them any more at all. Yep, no more... plant crushing... yeah..." Slu'guis gulped, trying to, once again, move the conversation along as fast as he possibly could. Man, maybe instead of growing stronger, he should work on his people skills.
"Ah, yes! Falling, and whatnot. See... I'm kinda lost... I'd say that I have pretty bad luck, you know? I flew by here because I accidentally made some... unsavory individuals quite angry by, doing something... I think. Not that I, you know, like to make people mad, that'd be ridiculous. I just like to run, but, well, you know, not literally, haha. I just fly away from my problems. Usually. But I still think I'm reliable! Just because those drills scared me a little bit the first week of the job and I ran and hid for days doesn't make me a bad worker, right, haha? It's funny, right? Stupid boss... Oh, did I say all of that? Oh... oh...." Slu'guis stared straight at the ground after he was finished spouting his verbal diarrhoea.
Slu'guis sighed inwardly. Why did he do these things to himself? If she didn't want to kill him before, she probably wanted to kill him now, even if it was just to make him shut up. He even wanted to ask a favor of her! Slu'guis shook his head and hung it in shame. "S-Slu'guis. That's my name. What about yours?" He said with a seemingly forced smile, trying to salvage whatever shred of this relationship that he believed he just shattered.
TAGS: Ryder OOC NOTES: Yeah, I'd say that'd be about right. I'll remember to add that in for future reference, thanks for pointing it out!

~Is he really going to continue to talk down to himself the entire time his green ass is here? How the hell does an ass clown like this manage to cultivate ki to the point of being able to fly so damned fast?~
Holding her irritation with his behavior in her heart, Ryder casually followed the green man...thing… out of her garden, waiting until he finally finished speaking before allowing gravity to drop the end of her digging pole onto his head with a stiff *clank.*
“Snap out of it will you Sluggo? What measure is a man if he doesn’t even have any confidence in himself? I already told you that there was no harm done but you continue to berate yourself over crashing, even though the fact that you were flying is itself something to be proud of.”
Ryder raised the bamboo pole about a meter above his head off the recoil before letting the tip drop again, a lighter and softer clank this time. More of a *bonk* really, after which the woman completely released the green pole, taking one light step to glide next to the Namek and gently patting him on the head.
“How does someone get as big as you, even learn how to fly and be tough enough to shake off that fall but wind up so fearful?” Her voice was different now, gentle and kind. “You can call me Ryder. Now tell me about those ‘unsavory individuals’ you’ve pissed off.”

Oh, she hated him after all!
He knew it. He held his forehead and let out a metaphorical tear. He'd ruined everything. How? He hadn't even been talking to this person for 5 minutes, and she was already going to kill him. What did he do to deserve this? His head rose to look his killer dead in the eyes, to see his demise firsthand... only to realize that the human girl had just whacked him twice. The pole stood idly by. Was she trying to... whack some sense into him? Literally?
Oh no, now she was saying that he didn't measure up to much as a man. He almost wished she had just killed him instead. Maybe this was more cruel after all. Leaving the poor man alive for the universe to hate him. But... SHE SAID NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE PLANTS! DIRECTLY! Slu'guis was sure he couldn't misinterpret that horribly wrong! She didn't hate him! She complimented his flying! This was all Slu'guis had ever wanted. The pink-clad Namekian's eyes shone like a puppies, clearly not used to being praised at all, for anything, really.
Buuut... Really, she flattered the man. "Ah... well, us Namekians like to pride ourselves on being pretty, you know, durable. Elastic, too. I can stretch my arms out, see?" Slu'guis's arms wrapped around themselves, making a sort of green cocoon. they then quickly unwrapped and Slu'guis shook them out slightly. At least he could show that off. As for those other questions, well... "Well, you know, Namekians are pretty big, you know? It's just kinda how we are. I'd say I'm pretty average for one of our kind, honestly."
Fearful? Slu'guis didn't see himself as fearful, really. He was just... cautious. Yeah. Really cautious. And bad with people too, probably. Slu'guis shook his head and gave a pout.
Ah! Those... individuals. Now those he could talk about. "Well, it all started... maybe about, 10 or so minutes ago? Well, I walked in on some... Saiyan meet, I think. They were people, but they had tails! They were having some kind of, I dunno, Saiyan pride meeting or something? They just seemed to, I dunno, yell a lot. But, uh, anyways, I was looking for a place to buy some water, but I found myself there! They, well, told me that I was a... filthy Namekian, was how they worded it... then, THEN! They said I was really really weird for wearing pink, and painting my nails red! I just got, really sad, and kinda, let out a single tear... They told me I, was, a loser, or something, and I just left and flew off... Come to think of it, I don't even know if they were real saiyans, haha... One of their tails fell off... there was some, tape or something attached to the back of it... haha... ha..."
Slu'guis trailed off, realizing how absolutely pathetic he sounded when he read the story out loud. Why did he just let that happen to him? Slu'guis laid down and curled back up into a ball.

Crying? This green clown was crying over a couple light bonks on the head after tanking a crash landing at high speed? What the hell was wrong with this thing’s brain? Did he scramble it when he hit the earth or something? Even as she pondered the matter, Ryder watched on as Slugman wrapped himself in a cocoon made of his own arms… she couldn’t help but wonder if he could have done that BEFORE he broke his brain on impact. Instead she was stuck dealing with an idiot that had power she did not. ~ Namekian huh? So that’s this green numbskull’s people. They aren’t all a bunch of giant pussies like he is, are they? If they’re all like this clown they’re probably constantly being oppressed by other species, like the space monkeys or maybe even us…~ “Looking for a place to buy water….. You really haven’t gotten a grasp of this planet yet have you? Almost any store that sells food of any kind sells water, and even moreso you can FLY. There’s free water everywhere in this region, you just have to look for it. For fuck’s sake look around you right now.” Pausing in her speech for a moment, Ryder gave the Namekian a chance to survey his surroundings without her distracting him. Right here was a large pond, fed fresh water by a five meter tall waterfall. “I’ve seen your green ass flying around here every week for over a month now, are you telling me you STLL haven’t figured out how to find your own damned way despite all that time? Come on Big Green, pull yourself together. Are those antennae on your head just decoration? “How you doll yourself up doesn’t mean shit and you should learn to stand up for yourself. Especially if there were fucking space monkeys doing the mockery. Even moreso if they were wanna be space monkeys!” The more she thought of it the more riled up Ryder became. That shitty species was partly responsible for the changes on earth that led her here to begin with. Although if she were to really examine the matter, she’d realize she’d used the army as a crutch, it wasn’t until she left society that she began to cultivate herself as a person rather than allow herself to be molded by others. “Do you remember roughly where these wannabe space monkeys were? Did you make any turns in flight when you ran away? I think we should pay those shitbags a visit, teach em a lesson they won’t forget.” OOC: tag- SluGuis
