//Sorry guys. Busy gettin' ready for deployment. Happy to see how strong you two got!
"He be a Saiyan, or at least a hybrid. Increasingly common." Serena stated, smiling softly at the curious little girl. Still, something irked her about the strange little alien; senses by an android or biological sort could tell when someone was uncomfortable. Elevated heart rate, eye flickers, more prone to make a mistake that would end up with the town getting hurt. Or Val ending up in another fight, and the blonde android wouldn't let that sort of event occur without her say so.
Meanwhile, the old Captain was stripping his beaten up duster and tossing it over his chair. Rubbing sore wounds; his little nap had done good work on his wounds. He didn't have any fancy tank of healing juice like plenty of folk did, but a good half hour of sleep could cure anything. Especially on a Saiyan. "Wonder if I'll Zenkai off that. Doubt it." He huffed, life was never that easy for him or any good fighter. Still, he was alive and the little two were alive. Stronger then him what not, but they didn't have a lick on his experience; and to him thats what mattered. Still, better kick my ass into training a bit harder. Really want to be able to go Super one day; he thought to himself. Splashing water across his face. Flicking his metal hand, the iron fingers started to buss rapidly as he trimmed his scruffy face. Letting small hairs fall into the running water as he trimmed his stubble. Checking in the mirror from different angles to make sure he got the little spots taken care off. Towel washed the rest away; and he replaced his hat. A few more scars across the beaten brimmed thing, but nothing he couldn't buff out.
"Cap, looks like the Saiyan's will be leaving us alone."
"Aye, can't say I'm sad to see them not interested in us."
"You coulda taken 'em Cap!"
"Sure sure, and that dino we had for lunch could fly. C'mon mate."
The diner door was popped open, the jingle heralding the old fighters entrance. Tail wrapped around the stubb of a cigar as he walked over to the two new aliens, hands thrust into canvas pants pockets. "Sup kids, glad ta see the folk be treatin' ye well. Sorry about the flyin', but i'd rather ye be mad at my old arse then we all end up in a shallow grave."
Serena slapped the big mans shoulder with a silent glare. "Death, Captain Valliere, is not something to be taken lightly. Even by a Saiyan. Now sit down and get some food in you, heaven knows you always act like you're starving." Giving his two friends a devious wink, he scooted Vivi over, taking the bench next to her with relish as he waited for his grub. "Ain't nothin can kill me O' Madame of Machines and Medics~" The warrior said, a routine the two obviously re-enacted as much as possible. "Why, the lads stronger then me, and even he hasn't taken a pot shot at me. All about experience! And guts. Kids got guts. Figure he can stay with us for a bit, teach him some tricks about fightin' aliens. " he nudged Raisu with a grin. "Could put the fear o' god in them Empire nuts, once we get some proper soldierin' plastered behind that skull o' his. Maybe find him a nice girl 'round here to settle down with." That was obviously a joke, the Sheriff chuckling at his own joke as his food arrived and he dug in with relish. Looking more like a bad documentary on wolves then a real persons version of eating. Shoveling viddles down fast, he spoke between breathes.
"So ol Rosey said she'd take ye two in the guest rooms. Once ye get some water on them hides ya can catch a few snoozes. We can meet up tomorrow to figure out what to do next."

(Hey, no worries man. Life happens.)
Vivi, the thief girl called to him, using her own name for him: Pretty Boy. Raisu grinned. It was better than being called a girl, as he often was. Raisu did not even consider himself that feminine looking, but he supposed others did. It bothered him, but only a little. Raisu, for one, was quite happy with how he looked. It could be worse, much worse. He could look like an actual Saiyan. But either, way Raisu came to the girl, looking at her with raised eyebrows and a grin on his face. What could she want? Then she asked him why he had a tail. A funny question, really. No one else had ever asked him that, except for small children. Most people had always known without asking. That was just the world they were living in. But if she wasn’t from this world, she might not know. Perhaps it wasn’t common wherever she came from. Lucky, if it wasn’t. He bet her homeworld didn’t get invaded by bloodthirsty warlords whom she shared a common ancestry with.
Serena answered first. She summed it up pretty well, or at least he thought so, but he might as well answer for himself. After all, he was the subject of the conversation. He’d sat idly by before when people had discussed Raisu in front of him, and it had always felt a bit awkward. But this was back in his youth, when his mother and Tsu Kini had discussed his progress in the ki arts. It had been just a little funny back then. His mother, who knew little to nothing about ki, discussing it with Tsu Kini, who was, or at least Raisu thought so at the time, an expert on ki. Now, he knew more than she. But he didn’t feel like it. Raisu would always think of Tsu Kini as the master between them.
“She’s right. I’m a half-breed. My father was a Saiyan, but I don’t talk much about him. My mom’s a human, and I think I get more from her. Minus the tail and stuff,” he explained. That much was all he said. No need to go deeper, he thought. That explanation would do well enough. His blood was a bit of a touchy subject for him, especially in times like these. Ever since the Saiyan Queen’s broadcast, he’d been wary of showing off his tail. He had a feeling that even in the wake of the invasion, like on Earth would not be comfortable for those with the blood of would-be conquerors in their veins. Even if it was their home. Even if they’d not chosen to be born with this blood.
And then Arlic popped in, cigar at the ready. He seemed to be doing well enough, and he apologized for the flying.
“Hey, no worries. Better than mine,” he said, joking. Raisu couldn’t fly, at least not yet. He’d have to learn, though. That would be a useful skill, indeed. He couldn’t run everywhere. Perhaps he’d learn it after he left Lucia. Never did he stay in one place for long. Bad luck and it made him uncomfortable.
His wife didn’t seem happy with Arlic’s nonchalant attitude. Why did Raisu feel as if the two had had this conversation before? And then the sheriff nudged him. Could he stay? It went against all he felt, but it might be worth it to get some training in. Raisu needed to get stronger. No longer did he want to have to watch as people burned his home.
“You know, I might take you up on that. I might be stronger, but I think I have a lot to learn still,” he said, lacking his usual cheer. Of course, getting stronger was going to be his priority. It was all he could do. His blood, the blood he sometimes he hated, demanded it. In this world, might made right, as sad as that was. The strong ruled over the weak, and those that could not stand their ground were left to run and hide. Raisu didn’t want to be one of those people.
Arlic mentioned guest rooms. A place to sleep sounded good right about now. He could do with a little shuteye. Today had been quite the busy day, and no one wanted to sleep more than Raisu in this moment.
“Hey, a room sounds good right about now,” Raisu said with a grin. He could actually feel the tiredness begin to pervade his body. But what to do tomorrow?
“Man, Arlic, we need to spar sometime. I feel like that would be a fun time,” he said.
(Do we want to call that a thread? If so, I’ll take PL for this. Heavy weights were on.)

It was the soft voice of Serenity which echoed through the room that first broke towards Vivi's twitching ears, her comment was most unexpected given her question had been directed towards Pretty boy and not her. Her eyes narrowed slightly at the woman's comment as her cheek puffed out ever so slightly, enough to have been noticed if someone had directly been watching her at the time but not so much that fresh eyes would. Opening her mouth to respond to Serenity her lips closed sharply with question erasing the annoyance that had come to her face; while Vivi had not directly spoken to the woman it was the same person who had taken her in, filled her belly with the sweet, hot, flat cakes she had enjoyed so much and given her a cozy bed in which to sleep in. Had it been any other case, or person Vivi most likely called them out for it but with all the kind deeds the woman had done for her Vivi decided it was best to bolt her mouth and be rid of such thoughts; it was all the more rude to call the host out than to slip into another conversation.
The annoyance that was swift to build soon left Vivi's body in a light huff of her chest with an expel of air, though it could be seen that her tail was still flickering about of its own accord, while she could release her waking mind of all ill thoughts her still thoughts which lingered far in the back were still very much alive, such parts held most control over reactive pieces of her body, such as her tail.
All was not bad however with Pretty boy agreeing with Serenity's statement leaving Vivi's body to relax in the fluffy embrace of the bed with inner thought. Vivi noticed that the two spoke as if she knew what a Saiyan, having only ventured into this system within the last week she was fairly new to what was going on her let alone who lived within this region of space. The few parts they said which Vivi understood were clear enough, he was not fully human, something Vivi began to think a while back but never voiced it aloud, however the tail was a dead give away... to be fair however Vivi at first thought it was a toy. Their words did clear up a few spaces in her questioning mind, whenever a gap formed new thoughts would soon enter it however and sure enough within a few seconds more began to pack their way into her mind.
It was the way Pretty boy ended his sentence which caused Vivi's ears to twitch ever so gently, his tone of voice, it almost seemed as though having a tail was bad in these parts. As a new comer to this world the odd gazes from strangers seemed ordinary to her, always eyes would wander to her, she was an oddity many had not seen on planets before, now she was starting to think that the Earthlings thought her a Saiyan... whatever those were exactly, and perhaps it was best to question why it was Pretty boy had lingered on his words.
Raising her head to speak towards Pretty boy, Vivi's mouth was in mid gap when it was Apple man who took stride into the room, his traditional cigar hanging from the corner of his mouth with its grey smoky trail flowing around his head like a wispy river. Propping onto her elbows Vivi purred happily to see the man up and about, not but an hour ago he looked as though the grim reaper would take his soul to the great beyond, now he was back to his old self even if his body still showed the lingering effects of his battle. The man was a warming site to her eyes but the quick reminder of the course they had taken to get her brought about a flicker of anger in Vivi's eyes at the mere thought of having been dragged through the skies while her heart hammered in her chest. Before the man cigar smoking man had been in little to no condition to with stand her torment now however he was on the road to recovery if he was walking about as he was. Had it been before a massive meal Vivi might have got about tearing into the man till his ears bleed from the sounds of her shrill voice but the strength was lacking from her body with the food she bore weighing her body down, sleep was soon to come she knew.
"Never fly off with me again."
Vivi hissed lightly with her closed hand gently racking him in the shoulder, the touch was enough to notice but it would hardly phase the man with the lack of strength behind it.
Pretty boy seemed to take note of Apple man's apologize with ease, it appeared that flying was of little issue to him leaving Vivi to huff under her breath as she flopped down onto the bed with a grunt. There was little point in denying it now, Vivi would have loved nothing more than staying up late and talking with the two of them but sleep was tugging heavily on her eyes lids now, drooping gently Vivi tore the covers from the bed till she was wrapped heavily in their embrace, looking more like a cocoon than a person at this point.
"Good night."
Vivi muttered quietly to no one in particular but the whoever took the time to listen and in a few seconds her mind had left the company of the room and into a state of dreams. As always her dreams were a strange compilation on what happened in the days before, though she would never remember fully what happened just silvers of the whole. Snore softly Vivi's body rested on the bed with only her face and her tail visible as it twist and jerked this way and that in accordance with her dream state.

//Aye. PL for me as well, and my Medium Weights are in the same 'waiting to show up' as yers are Vi. The Captain barked a laugh at the little pirate's anger at the flying. She could be angry about it all she wanted, but they'd all be dead if they'd decided to walk. Being Captain had its own downfalls, and that was taking the blame for any decisions the group didn't like, but needed to do. He was half sure both the young'uns would be gone by tomorrow morning; but he had done his part in keeping them safe. As for that; he settled back at the end of his meal. "Just remember, ye both are welcome back anytime ya need it." After the two retired, the soldier himself retired outside with Serenity in tow. The two talking quietly about the events of the past few days and weeks. "They'll be gone by tomorrow. At least the girl will; Raisu himself looks like he might at least listen to this old soul." Val grunted between puffs; his wife watching with the usual disapproving glance of violet. The cigar never sat well with anyone but himself anyway. "Hm. That heart already cost you an arm; I'm sure it will cost you more if you keep picking up every stray. Especially ones stronger then you, they could have handled themselves." The android replied, settling arm around the Saiyans waist as they looked up at the two dark windows where the little ones slept. "Aye, but we help when we can. It's what makes us different then the Empire. Plus, you saw how cute the lass is; how could I say no to those big ol' eyes? If she stays, I'll build that house we always talked about. Let those two live with us eh? Always nice to have more souls around." With a pinch that ended up with the Captain earning a playful slap the two also retired for the evening.
When the sun rose enough to shed light over the little mountain town, whether or not the two aliens were there or not was to be found out. Breakfast was still set on the table for them; and it would always be ready for them if they ever chose to come back to Little Lucia. The Captain himself showered, shaved, and did what he always did. Kiss his wife good morning and help cook; since he ate far too much to feel good about anyone doing all the cooking for him.
WILL VIVI AND RAISU STAY IN LUCIA, OR CONTINUE ON THEIR JOURNEY TO THEIR END GOALS. CAN VIVI OVERCOME HER THIEVING INSTICTS AND FIND HAPPINESS IN THE REMOTE TOWN; OR WILL SHE VANISH IN THE NIGHT LIKE SHE SO FEARED. WILL RAISU STAY AND TRAIN UNDER ONE OF THE OLDEST SAIYANS ON THE PLANET; OR CONTINUE ON HIS QUEST TO GAIN POWER AND SKILLS TO RIVAL THAT OF THE SAIYAN QUEEN? WHAT ABOUT THE EMPIRE ITSELF; HAVE OUR HEROES ESCAPED THE CLUTCHES OF THE MIGHTY SOLAR EMPIRE, OR ARE THEY LULLED INTO FALSE SENSES OF SAFETY AND PEACE. WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF EARTHS WARRIORS, HOW ARE THEY FARRING?
FIND OUT ON THE NEXT EXCITING EPISODE OF DRAGON BALL Z.
