Brisk the arcosian landed daintily down on a roof in Ginger Town. His little three toed foot gripped the roof as he looked around, surveying the area. The roofs, including the one he was currently perched on, were all a pleasing pinkish red, and the stucco of the houses and shop buildings was pale yellow. It was quite the aesthetically pleasing town. The little boy's eyes widened as he took in the scenery. It was pretty big for what it was. And then, outside of the expansive catacomb of houses, Brisk noticed, were vast farmlands, stretching seemingly infinitely in every direction. The boy audibly gasped. Then, he hopped down. Landing on the ground next to the building he was on top of, he ended up in an alleyway, and then walked out into the main street. The street was occupied by few people, but still gave off an aura of bustling and lively urban excitement as the small groups on either side of the street chattered merrily. The arcosian didn't feel out of place one bit, he decided, as he walked boldly down the street, with not one of the passerby's sparing a second glance for the 3 and a half foot tall lizard boy.
And when he began to float down the street, sailing through the air past the pleasantly rustic shops of the market district, not one person he encountered felt anything was out of place. Brisk seemed to blend in in plain sight to these people! He wondered if they'd seen creatures even more strange to them then he must be. Giggling at the various monsters he imagined, the child didn't notice even when he bumped into a man running down the street. He was dressed in black cloth, that billowed in the wind as the man ran at incredible speed. He barreled right through the floating child, and sent brisk spinning out of control and thumping into a wall abruptly. Brisk was not really hurt, but the shock was causing him to tear up for some reason. He wiped the tears away quickly and huffed. What a rude man! He supposed this town wasn't entirely fantastic after all! Just as he supposed that supposition, he turned to his left and saw in the corner of a shop, beautifully designed battle armor, weighted, and perfectly sculpted. He imagined himself wearing it and nearly fainted with excitement. Quickly running in to the shop, the door slammed heavily behind him just as his head whipped to the counter. The clerk at the counter looked up, confused, with one eyebrow raised. "Can I help you?"
"What can I trade you for the black arMOR IN THE WINDOW!?" Brisk started out polite and ended up shouting with excitement. However, the child was soon informed that to obtain the armor, he first needed some money (Earth money, not space money, the store clerk informed Brisk.) The rude cashier refused to accept Brisk's perfectly fine, well earned Space Money, which naturally infuriated the child. Brisk huffed and left the store. He needed to find a way to make some money. What was wrong with space money?! "Gah!!!!"
Not one to remain upset for very long, the curious child's attention was soon encapsulated by something else, another store that was sure to only accept the fabled 'earth money.' Brisk continued on his way, window shopping with a mix of excited curiosity and crestfallen disappointment, alternating between the two each time he saw a new amazing looking item. He decided that he had had enough of the stupid-earth-items-and-stupid-earth-money-and-their-stupid-earth-store-clerks-who-stupidly-won't-accept-Brisk's-not-stupid-awesome-space-money. And so he flew up into the air, so he could get a view of the light crimson rooftops again. And there he saw it. Out of the corner of his eye, a blur of black fabric and speed. It was that guy again, now nearing the border of the town. Brisk decided to go talk to him because he obviously was in a hurry. People who are in a hurry, Brisk decided, were often people who knew about cool things. And so Brisk rocketed towards him, careening through the air until he was directly above the man, before descending straight down and landing behind him, out of his sight. The child stopped the man, and than looked up at him making eye contact. "Excuse me sir?" he asked, "where are you gooooing?"
The man in black was actually wearing a black Gi, his biceps and upper torso exposed, and wrist bands of the same color that didn't appear to be weighted. Brisk looked up at the man's face, which vaguely resembled a space-horse. The man replied, with a voice that was both gravely and high pitched at once. "I'm gonna climb that Korin tower and get trained by the legendary Kami, a feller named Bong. He fought in the Saiyan Invasion, ya know." The man cleared his throat and then spoke more quietly. "My missus' doesn't exactly take kindly to me rushing off after we was just married, so I've gotta skedaddle, if ya know what i'm sayin." Brisk absolutely did not know what he was saying, but he became visibly intense when the word saiyan was mentioned. Brisk had heard a lot about the saiyans, and was eager to meet one of the supposedly powerful warriors. So a saiyan was on top of this tower!? Brisk looked at the martial artist man with intense eyes. "Where do I go to find the tower!" He nearly shouted with anticipation. "South of here, through the Fukurou Forest, lil guy." He coughed in a not so manly fashion. "Though I'm not sure a lil 'un like you could handle it." Brisk hadn't been listening to the last part of what the man said. South! He had to go south right now to meet the saiyan named Bong, on top of the tower, in the forest! He immediately blasted off, shooting southwards, instantly becoming a blip in the man's vision.
The man reportedly fainted a mere two seconds later and never made it to the tower.
((This is 1/2 threads leading up to Brisk meeting Kami and asking for his training! Also, no arcosian bonus, Brisk hasn't unlocked his in-character suppressed form and is in true form. I'll have Zeni please, because I'm also double purposing this thread to save up money to buy Kami's Emblem when Brisk gets there. Thank you very much!))
