Tomoka had wondered how to get what the man had told him, this so called, "shoki." and it wasn't very hard at all. It seemed like almost every ogre had some, and every time an ogre succumbed to sleepiness, drunkenness, or any and all forms of distraction, which wasn't hard since they all seemed borderline retarded, Tomoka would simply extract the strange currency from wherever they had it. Turns out, Tomoka didn't need a physical body to grab things. Through sheer force of will, in this nearly useless form, he could manipulate the world around him, and soon, shoki was disappearing from the pockets of nearly every ogre in hell. It had taken much, much heavy thinking to master, however...
7200 hours beforehand:
"You damned thieving bastard! What were ya trying to do? steal my air?!" the ogre shouted, as Tomoka flew away as fast as he could. "I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY!" he screamed, before the ogre finally gave up the chase. Tomoka had attempted to rob the ogre of all the shoki he had, by trying to steal it without him noticing. Unfortunately, Tomoka was having trouble actually grabbing the currency with AIR HANDS. After all, he couldn't exactly grab thing without actual mass to this form. "This is useless! Fucking useless! How in Yemma's name did that asshole get a body?! Shoki isn't lying around! It isn't appearing out of nowhere! Only place I find it on are these sorry excuses for living things called ogre's. come to think of it, are they even LIVING?!" he thought to himself. "What are they even made out of?! How are they even here, ALIVE, or whatever fucking state of existence they're in, when everyone else is a CLOUD?!"
Tomoka was visibly fuming at this point, as yet another attempt to get shoki had failed. Miserably. Still, he could only move forward, only continue to move this... cloud... around... with no legs, or arms, or muscles, bones, tendons, and nerves...
Tomoka suddenly stopped, realizing something. Physically, he had no way of moving. Nothing about the fact that he could move as a cloud made sense. Clouds moved not because they wanted to, but because they got moved by the wind. Infact, if he was right, he wasn't even a cloud. This was him. Completely and totally him. And he moved himself around not by his brain sending electrical messages through his body down through his nerves, down to muscles, tendons, bones, and everything else that carried out the task of making a foot step forward, or a punch fly into the enemies face, or a ki blast shooting out of his hand... instead, he was the only one doing it. He was the only thing that propelled himself.
And than, after hours of trying to figure it out, Tomoka had finally managed to not just move himself, but other things, simply by exercising his will. First, he spent several hours finding a sack, than slowly, he spent the rest dumping shoki into it. Until, finally, he had quite the small fortune building. Infact, he wasn't even sure he needed to buy a body. The shoki was already quite the building material, so to speak. He would assume it would all become normal organic material anyways, so he didn't care to much if he was literally made out of money.
[UT] Telikenysis learned, pretty easily infact.
Taking even more shoki for this one, and hopefully, it'll be enough to get all I need for a body AND a trip home.
