(OOC Notes: Weights are on, thread is with Kaula) (Thread Power Level: 2056.5, 8227 without weights) The great expanse of the forest covered the area for miles around. Not far above it, the shape of a strange, dark-hued creature was moving. He was flying rather slowly, not going anywhere in particular. With a pause, the Bio-Android stopped, and glanced down at the treeline beneath him. He had been considering creating a place of his own, in case he ever decided to leave the lookout. He felt that, given his appearance, a forest was the most thematically appropriate place. Besides, if he was going to live somewhere, he didn't need the anemities that most beings would. He was a bit curious about the thing Rei called the Television, but it seemed like a bad idea to bother the Bio-Android about watching it. She was more than a bit scary. As he wandered the clearing, scouting the possible location and saving the directions to it, a noise reached his ears. Lifting back up, he scanned the surrounding area, curious as to where it had come from. In the distance, he could see a shape, an odd bouncing ball of sorts. Taking off, he soon found that a bright blue ball was bouncing from tree to tree, making excited giggling noises as it did so. With a frown, he looked down at it, watching it arc skywards, then land back down, then fly up again. The Bio-Android had never seen a Majin before, so he was unaware as to what this was. Looking around, he called out "Did anyone lose a... laughing, blue ball?" (Started with a very short post, seeing as I had no idea how much you were used to, and where/how you would enter. My apologies if it isn't a lot to go on."

((Power Level for thread: 7157)) The young Saiyan took a single step forward into the forest before pausing. Her eyes narrowed as she looked behind her. Wait. She took a second to run a hand through her glorious mane. "Right.." she'd say, thinking out loud. "Where was I going again..? I-.. I was back.. That way.. Then.." Kaula paused, lost in thought for a few moments. She was trying to make some connections in her mind, "Right.. I think.. I am in the west right now.." she said, letting out an annoyed grumble. She brought her hand from her hair to rub at her face before she took off her sunglasses, blinking a few times as she focused those emerald orbs of her's on the sky.
She could see why some people liked this planet. It had it's moments with the peaceful oceans and quiet forests. She sorta liked how quiet it was out here, hell she was even starting to enjoy it, when a piercing annoyance started to drive into her mind. That.. Giggling.. Her eye twitched for a moment and she moved to put her sunglasses back over her eyes to notice the round majin apparently bounce up and down. She, too, had never seen one in person so the Saiyan had decided to just sorta stare at the damned thing. ".. The fuck is that..?" she'd ask in a soft grumble before her shrouded eyes looked from the bouncing ball of giggling annoyance to the figure who was likely floating somewhere in the sky. Did he own th- No, he just asked if someone lost one.. It wasn't her's.. She thought. Kaula wasn't even too sure what it was. "Maybe it's some weird punching bag of sorts.." Kaula thought out loud, still simply talking to herself.
((Pshaw, it's fine. I simply try to match posts in size. :3))

The floating tree blinked as a voice from below answered his question, in a way. From the "Maybe" at the beginning, it was clear she didn't know what the thing was either. The punching bag suggestion was fair, though. He had seen stranger things used as training measures. Shrugging, he pulled an arm back, and on the apex of the next bounce, gave the thing a hard smack. The bouncing Majin sailed away rapidly, vanishing into the distance as it giggled. Shrugging, the Bio-Android was about to descend when a whistling noise came from where the Majin had vanished. Turning, he managed to adjust his face sufficently to take a large blue marshmallow creature full to the face. Clutching his head, he watched through his fingers as it sailed off again, quickly descending this time. It almost sounded like someone was shouting in the distance, but it was probably just his imagination.
As he lowered through the trees, leaves brushing against his bulky weighted clothing, he examined the girl on the ground. She was human-looking, but something about that hair was odd. Was it normal for humans to have that much hair? It seemed unusual. Shrugging, he landed, and bowed slightly. "Hello there. I suspect, given the creature's... response." Just then, the Majin flew past again, now in utter hysterics, but missing the absent Walker's cranium. It continued to travel in the other direction, giggling and chortling. ".... I suspect, given the creature's response, it is not a punching bag. Pity, it was quite responsive. Anyway, I must introduce myself. I am Walker, also known as Project Stem, I suppose." Bowing again, his deep voice took on an amused tone. "I confess, I must have looked quite silly, there." Placing a hand on his chin, he looked down. The girl's height was shorter than his own, but then again, so was almost everyone's. "Who might you be? I have not seen many out here, and while you appear to be human, that is surely not an indicator of skill or competence, whether positive or negative." It was a bit of a circuitous way of saying it, but he seemed to indicating he was rather well inclined towards humans and aliens alike. He was sure this was rude, but he was also curious about the strange things on the young woman's face. Hopefully she would explain them in due course.

Kaula had simply watched the thing bounce. While she'd admit that the sound was annoying, it was rather relaxing to watch it bounce up.. And down. That was till the floating.. Thing had decided to thwack it away. She let out a relieved sigh when she watched it leave.. Only to come back. Must have been some type of weird sports ball, she assumed, that had gotten away. Kaula had simply shrugged, she was almost ready to walk off when the other thing had decided to lower itself.
Finally getting a decent look at the hulking black creature, her jaw sorta dropped, her monkey tail slowly coming to her waist to wrap around it instinctivly. The fuck was that, she wondered, having seen nothing like it before. What was with this forest with weird things. First the ball, then this thing. What would she see next? Wait, was it talking? She should probably pay attention to it. She just went to nod a few times, catching his name after that. Walker. Project steeemmm.. Weird.
He asked for her name! Granted, the Saiyan gave a bit of a confused look when he continued on. "I'm Kaula. And I'm not some stinking human." she'd say as she crossed her arms, letting out a quiet huff out of annoyance. It was a shame humans just haaaad to look like Saiyans. "Why do you wanna know my skill.. Or.. Competence..?" she'd ask, still simply eyeing him.

This was just getting more interesting by the minute! The girl was a "Saiyan", hmm? Actually, that sounded rather familiar. Wasn't that one of the races whose DNA had gotten tossed inside him? He was about to bring this up, when the memory of Scargot's reaction to the Namekian comment. After a mental debate, he decided against that course of action. He was curious about something, though. "Stinking human? Oh, my apologies. I didn't mean to offend." Walker could be surprisingly easy-going, but in this case, it was a case of literal mindedness. "I don't have a nose, you see.." He tapped his face, the flat surface of the wood showing no nostrils or openings. "So, I was unaware that humans smelled. I suppose that's why Kami-sama Scargot lives up on that lookout, to get away from the smell."
Looking off speculatively, he frowned. "I wonder..." He was quiet for a minute, then gestured vaguely, still frowning. "If we put liquid soap in the rainclouds, could we clean them off, do you think? The soap could be seeded into the clouds, possibly utilizing the winds to froth it... it'd take some effort, though." Suddenly, the tree realized that in his rambling, he had completely forgotten to answer his guest's last question. Ignoring the fact that, technically, she was not his guest, as he did not own the woods, he bowed again. "My apologies, I have totally failed to respond to you! As to your competence, I merely wanted to see if I had met another fighter of similar skill. I have only fought a few of equal strength, and several of the ones I have met have been much stronger, one almost twice my ability, and one..." He noticeably flinched. "Well, one of them, apparently, is the strongest being on earth at the moment. Merely getting close to her shattered my hand." Cheering back up, he floated upward a bit, crossing his arms decisively. "The other one was her uncle! Or father. It's a bit confusing which. He's the god I mentioned." The tree rested his arms on his knees, unaware that he sounded completely insane.

The short woman just continued to stare up at him silently as he seemed to speak among himself. At least he seemed to understand how she felt about humans. "It's alright. My kind sometimes gets confused for them." she said before he continued on. Wait, what..? He took it literally? Sure, some of them smelled bad, but some smelled good.. But it was probably just the smell of their race. And what the hell was this about a lookout? Was this thing damaged?
She frowned as well when it looked off, apparently in thought, it was while he did this, she went to move closer to the being, trying to sniff at it a few times to see if it had a certain smell while her right hand came up to knock on it's chest a few times, if it would let her, in an attempt to see what it was made out of. "Probably not. You see, humans are naturally disgustingly smelling. It's just part of being a human." she'd go on to say. "Oh, you're looking for a fighting partner or something? I could go for one, I guess. I don't mind fighting. I just wouldn't want to hurt you, you know?" she said with a confident chuckle and a cocky grin.
By this point, she assumed the creature was.. Damaged... In some way. All this talk about soap in clouds, some weird lookout that had a god. And apparently a strongest being on the planet? Pshaw. And the god being the strongest being's uncle AND father. Would that mean said strongest being's mother.. Was her father's sister? Weird how relationships work on this planet. "Yeeeeaaaah. Alright on that, big guy. So, where do you even live. I think I've been wandering around here for a while and don't really remember where I was heading."

The girls seemed to be raising her eyebrow awfully high. For the life of him, Walker couldn't understand why, but he figured it was just one of those things. Pointing upwards, he gestured back in the direction of the Lookout. "Right now, I'm training under Scargot. He's the god I mentioned, along with his adopted... I'm not sure if they're calling it niece or daughter now." Shrugging, he spread his hands. "I was informed that son and daughter meant they were descended from the person called father or mother, but apparently Scargot is a Namekian." He mimed a pair of antennae. "I guess they don't have children the way most people do? So he adopted Rei."
Clapping his hands together once, Walker stretched. As he did so, the arms extended outward, stretching, stretching, until they were far longer than they should be. With a snap, they popped back into place. Up above, the strange round Majinball flew past again, still laughing. It sounded a bit deeper now, for some odd reason. Walker, setting his hands back down, seemed to remember something. "Oh! I almost forgot! You said you were a Saiyan, yes? I'm something called a Bio-Android!" Stretching his arm out again, he let it divide. Within a second, the solid limb was a veritable cat-o'-nine-tails, the roots waving as the sharp clawed fingertips at the end sliced through the air. "See, I can do something called Absorption! It lets me take other people's power. Of course, I have to consume them as well, so I'm only going to use it on people who deserve it." He smiled, the crack-like mouth twisting upwards. It was wholly innocent look, but the unintended menace behind his words was all the worse for being an accident.
He was childish, but the brief flash of steel beneath the plush made it clear the Bio-Tree was not just a foolish weakling. The phrase "Children are Cruel" could be applied here, and the same naivety that allowed him to be polite also meant that morals was a somewhat difficult to grasp concept. Reforming his arm, he flexed it, the outfit on his arm clanking slightly. Turning off his flight, he dropped to the ground, the weighted clothing making a heavy thump out of his normal light thud. "Don't worry, I wouldn't use it on you. You seem fairly nice, even if you do sound oddly angry about humans. Did they make fun of you or something?"

"Training.. Under a god. Riiight." she'd say, stepping back slightly after sniffing at him so she could stick her hands on her hips, simply glancing up and down at him afterwards, glancing in the direction he pointed. Wow, lots of trees that way. Maybe he lived in a tree with this so-called god. "Yeah.. Namekians. Don't they lay eggs..? Like some kind of weird.. Green Dinosaurs." she'd say with a slow shrug. "They're kinda weird."
She watched the.. Thing stretch. Holy crap, were his arms growing? How did he do that? She simply watched him for now, tilting her head to the side, "Yeah. I'm a Saiyan." she said, those eyebrows of her's raising up again when he said Bio-Android. The fuck was that? She decided to take a few more steps back at all this talk of absorption and taking people's powers. SHIT. Was he going to take her powers too? Kaula seemed a teensy bit scared from that, luckily those sunglasses hid the emotion in her eyes. She was prepared to fight, not afraid to become a lumberjack for a day if she had to. And that creepy smile he did. Geezus, this must be some weird crazy thing.
She slowly took in a deep breath, calming herself down a little bit. If all this talk about being a bio-whatsit and absorption was true.. then it wouldn't be wise to fuck around with this thing. "That's.. Good to know. And yeah, let's say they did." she said with a nervous chuckle. "So.. This look out.. Fancy place? You got food over there or somethin'?"

Walker shrugged. "I suppose it's fancy." At the next words, however, his face lit up. "Oh! Food! You mean those things that the others are putting in their mouths all the time!" He looked far too excited for such a simple prospect. However, it made sense. He was, quite plainly, a tree. His body was wood, albeit dark black rather than brown, and his limbs were made like roots. Thus, his next words were almost painfully predictable. "I don't eat, I just drink water, so I've always been curious about that." Leaning forward eagerly, he looked down at the young half-saiyan. "Why do you eat food? What's it like? When you eat, do you have to do something special so it doesn't get stuck in your air sacs- Your lungs, I mean." Suddenly realizing that the speed of his words was making machine gun fire seem quiet, Walker coughed, covering his mouth. "My apologies, I got overexcited. I would show you the lookout, but Scargot seems rather iffy about people coming up. Also Rei's sort of mad recently." Looking about, he frowned. "Apparently, this is because she broke a lot of some place called West City?" The isolated Bio-Android was unaware, but the conquering of West City by the BBA, the death of the planet's Super Saiyan, and the ensuing chaos, had been huge news ever since their occurrence. This likely would not have helped his fear of Rei any.
Peering down at her, he finally noticed the tail around her waist. "I say, what is that? A tail? Is that a saiyan thing, or just yours? What does it do? Can you turn into a monkey or something?" He was entirely clueless as to just how spot-on that last question was. He had considered asking if she was wearing Blutz Bans, something Rei had been laughing about, but he got the impression there was something more going on there.

Kaula was about to speak when suddenly he started going on about food, "Yeah. it goes in our mouthes.. An' all." she said. Shoulda figured some weird tree thing only lives off of water and sunshine. As he spoke, she just sorta stared. Wondering what would happen if he happened to catch on fire suddenly.. Would he burn up like normal trees? Or would he simply be all super tree and be impervious to that stuff?
She was lost in her thoughts of fire when he started barraging her with questions. And these questions, man. She didn't know how to answer some of them. Literally. "O-.. Oh.. Wh-why..?" she asked, blinking twice. She never thought of that. The Saiyan started to think of the philosophy of the whole subject. Why did she really eat. Till she remembered it was to keep her healthy and strong. "To.. Keep my energy up..? And I dunno! It's like.. Eating!" she said with a slow shrug. She didn't even know how to answer the last part. Biology wasn't her subject. But when he got back on topic; "Oh c'moooon. Ya can show me it. I bet it's like.. Really cool or something if it's called 'The Lookout'. Like, really." she said. She, too, had sorta stayed out of loop on the whole destruction thing. Apparently it happened right before she started her journy.
Kaula paused and looked down a little before glancing back up when he questioned about the tail. "My tail..? Yeah. It's a Saiyan thing. Does.. Tail things. Can hold stuff." she said as it uncurled from her waist and used it to poke her right shoulder. "Can touch things. You know, tail stuff." she said before frowning at the last question, "Uhh.. I can't.. Really. Others can but.. I can't. Don't know why." she said. She knew why, she just didn't want to say. She secretly blamed the human blood in her, the thing that made her so impure. She frowned, moving to cross her arms again as she let out a sigh, "Why are you out here anyway?"

Walker sat patiently through the explanations. When he received a question in return, he wondered briefly if this was what "Twenty Questions" was. "Well, I'm out here to build a back-up house." Realizing this was strange to say (For once), he decided to try to explain. "See, I live on the Lookout, but so does Rei, and she scares me a bit." Gesturing to his arm, he unfurled it a bit. "She's like me, a Bio-Android, but she's shaped like you. Those... hmm" After a pause, he mimed a curvier shape. "Feman? Womales? Something like that? You people have some weird words for yourself." Shrugging, he continued. "She looks like a Human, or maybe a Saiyan. She said she absorbed some kind of Saiyan, but it wasn't a regular one." The words made him giggle, but he wasn't sure why. He felt rather cheery, all things considered. Up above,the Majin flew past again. It's laughter was louder now, and rather grating.
"She apparently absorbed a Super Saiyan. Do you know what that is? She didn't explain, but she apparently became really powerful." For a moment, he seemed almost jealous, his words a bit bitter. The moment passed, though, as his monologue continued. He was smiling broadly now. "So I'm looking for a second house in case she accidentally or on purpose blows up the Lookout. Just "Raaaaar~" and BOOM!" He laughed loudly, and that was the tipoff something was wrong. Looking up, Walker managed to see the ball passing, just in time to barely dodge a second, identical ball passing in another direction. As clearly as he could through the laughter, he asked "So, Miss Kaula... I don't suppose you know why that ball is multiplying, or why there appears to be a large glowing shape forming in the sky."

"A.. Back-up house..?" Geeze, this thing was weird. She listened to him explain for a moment, looking down at her body when he tried to find a word, "Female." she'd say as she put her hands on her bountiful chest fruits, feeling them for a moment. She liked being female. Her tail flicked to the side as she looked back up, "And this Rei.. So-called strongest person on Earth." she'd say with a slight laugh.
That's when her jaw dropped. It just dropped. "A.. Fucking.. SUPER SAIYAN!?" she practically yelled out. She was.. At a loss for words. She didn't know what to say. Maybe he wasn't a complete lunatic. But that only terrified the small Saiyan, considering he was apparently the same thing as her. Could he take down a Super Saiyan too? He didn't look like it.. She started to picture in her mind what type of creature this 'Rei' must be. She has to be at least twelve feet tall. A bunch of claws, too. Fangs. Definitely has to have fangs. Oh, and, it just MUST have.. Like.. Four arms. AND THE LOWER BODY OF A DINOSAUR.
The Saiyan shuddered a little bit, closing her eyes before she heard the thing speak again. Wait, the blue ball was multiplying? "Uhmm.. Well.. It could be trying to attack us.. Or something. I guess. Could be charging something up."

As the multiple orbs, now smaller, crisscrossed the sky, Walker stared upwards in consternation. With a frown, he rose up, stopping just above the tree level. In the air, forming a circle 300 feet wide, surrounding their position, a massive glowing circle stood. The inside of it was marked by an odd pattern, and around the top of the cylinder, a sextuplet of bouncing blue balls ricocheted. The strange creature was giggling, but the formerly innocent sounding noise was grating and sinister now. As one, they stopped their movement, and the 6 orbs compressed. The bodies that formed were, with one exception, blank-eyed. The pupils were invisible, and no movement could be seen. However, one of them had pupils. Naturally, the eyes were a dark crimson. Giggling, the short Majin spread it's hands. "Welcome to my trap, ah-hah-hah-hah-heeee~" His body jiggled with laughter, and the other 5 bodies laughed as well, all in different manners. The copies seemed a little off, but from their varied movements, were clearly capable of acting on their own. Lowering back down as the Majin laughed wildly, Walker looked over at Kaula. "Well... this could be an issue."
(Sorry, short post, very tired)

Kaula continued to stare up at the sky for a few moments, just watching the whole event happen. She wasn't really impressed by it, that's for sure. She almost looked a little bit bored. The Saiyan sighed as she reached up to remove her sunglasses, pausing to look down from the sky to the large.. Tree.. Bark.. Bio-android with her emerald-green orbs, frowning as she heard the laugh. "It's even more annoying now then it was before." she said as her tail flicked to the side before starting to wrap around her waist again.
She sorta just ignored the Majin's words. "So. Is it like you, or something? One of those.. Weird.. Bio-whatsits?" she'd ask as she let out a soft yawn, raising her arms up over head to start stretching lightly. "Because if not, they're probably easy. As long as they aren't.. Like.. That weird.. Rei person." she said, shuddering at the mental image she had created for said person.

Looking upward, Walker shrugged. "I don't think that they're Bio-Androids. I certainly can't split myself like that, and I don't think Rei can split in half." Unaware of the irony of his statement, Walker examined the 6 giggling figures. They were moving in a way that indicated they were probably boneless, and appeared to be made of some gummy substance. Blinking, he shrugged. "Maybe they were made from bubble gum?" From above, the cackling Majin shook his head. "Hah! I'm a Majin, you fool! I am the great and powerful Booberry!"
There was a beat, and then Walker began to snicker. The Majin, glaring in rage, gestured. "Well, you think that's so funny? Let's turn it up a notch, then!" The aerial image began to glow brighter, and it was revealed to be a magic circle, styled quite plainly after a laughing face. "HELLISH HYSTERICS!" With an unearthly laugh, a wave of energy spread through the cylinder covering the pair, and everything just seemed so funny all of a sudden. As the magic washed over them, the laughter echoing in the pair's skulls, Booberry laughed, and the 6 Majin began to descend.
