The sun was high over West City, casting a golden glow over the bustling streets filled with people from all walks of life. The annual Harvest Festival was in full swing, a grand celebration where farmers from across the region showcased their finest crops. Colorful stalls lined the streets, each one overflowing with the bounty of the season—pumpkins, apples, corn, and countless other fruits and vegetables.

Among the crowd, a young farmer made her way toward the heart of the festival. She hadn't entered any of her crops into the competition, but she had a variety of fresh produce to sell to the eager customers swarming the marketplace. Her stand was simple but inviting, with neatly arranged baskets of ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and vibrant carrots. It would be her last sales of the year before taking a long winter break

Honeydew smiled warmly at the passersby, her Southern accent drawing them in as she called out, "Fresh produce here! Get your farm-fresh veggies! Ya ain't gonna find any better than the quality grown in Misty farm!" Business was brisk, and she found herself enjoying the lively atmosphere of the festival. It was nice to be away from all that strenuous training, if only for a day or two. Hopefully, Cell wasn't... Terribly bored without her.

As the hours passed, the farmer began to hear whispers and excited chatter among the festival-goers. Everyone seemed to be talking about one person in particular—Goku, the legendary martial artist who had won countless ribbons at the festival over the years. His presence always drew a crowd as people called out to him to spill his secrets, and to buy off his winning crop of the season.

Curious, she decided to take a break from her stand and see what all the fuss was about. She wandered through the festival until she spotted a large crowd gathered around a particularly impressive display of crops. And there, at the center of it all, was the legend himself, smiling and chatting with admirers.

With a determined look, Honeydew wadded through the throng of people until she stood before Goku. If anyone was going to learn a thing or two off the best, she might as well introduce herself first. She took a deep breath, adjusted her long red locks, and greeted him with a cheerful,

"Howdy!... I take it yer mister popular among the locals here, huh?"

Goku will lift him and put him in timeout

"DAMN IT! LET GO OF ME KAKAROT!" there is so much thrashing around as he tries to wriggle out of the other saiyans hold

" Heh....don't say that around Vegeta, huh? He might lose it. "

She laughed softly and tilted her head to the side a bit, curiosity peaked. " You built your own house though? Can I see it? "

He's abducting trunks for boop chaos.

He felt himself scooped onto the man’s shoulders FAR too easily. But this was Goku after all, strongest man in the universe probably but what came out of his mouth had gotten Trunks to shiver.  ❝   𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐚.    ❞  He utters with fear in his heart. “Lord Beerus already threatened me once..I know he looks like one but he’s not exactly the nicest kitty in the litter.”

5) dash commentary

It's great! Often a fun way for people to acknowledge their mutuals' posts, IC or OOC! It can also help to really promote the feel of this place being an rp community. No one has to put themselves out there to make friends or whatevs, but still, interacting with your writing partners outside of just threads can go for miles. I will say that dash comm can kind of be a slippery slope though.

Sometimes, open commentary on something that's more so happening in private - so no one else outside of the characters in the thread should be aware of it - can make things very awkward, but that's where communication comes in. You can ask all parties involved if it's ok to make commentary, or you can just comment on it in private to them! Can't speak for others, but I personally would love to hear how entertaining what I'm doing with someone else is.

Lastly. When it comes to dash comm posts that are tagged as crack (so they're not to be taken seriously), I've noticed that people tend to...ignore that? And treat the post as if the character is being serious. That can put the other person in a weird spot. I've gotten into some "didn't need/want this but ok" situations in the past because of it. So folks, if something is tagged as crack or a similar tag, you shouldn't make a big ol' fuss about it.

10) anons

Definitely a feature that should be used, especially if you're the type that's too shy to send something with your blog's handle attached. Unfortunately, tons of losers take advantage of the anonymity to harass others / send hate. With that in mind, I feel everyone should remember that anon asks are a privilege and NOT a right. If you need to turn it off for your peace of mind, absolutely do it. The shy people will have to just step outside of their shell, send you things in IMs, or not send anything at all. They'll adapt.

I'm aware that someone who's committed can create burner accounts, but you can always block them. If they make a new one, block that too. To me, blocking burners is a small price to pay for not letting hatred flood your inbox.

Speaking of anon hate, I'll take this opportunity to drop a warning: there's an infamous troll / harasser most widely known as "phoenixissims" (that's the last blog they sat on for a long period) going around the DB RPC yet again. This post here & the linked google doc in it talk about this person extensively, but in general: if you get any weird anon asks that bring up Beerus, Vegeta, or come off as salty about the interactions you've been having with others (esp blogs who rp those characters), just delete them all and don't engage.

"Excuse me, sir!" An odd voice called out to the Saiyan from behind, which upon turning to face it would seen to have come from a... mummy? It sure looked like it, tall and lanky form covered in bandages as it casually looked over him.

Would hardly be the strangest thing he would've seen, though it probably would've been pretty strange to see just out and about. Holding what looked like... a basket of vegetables?

"I apprehended a few rapscallions who'd lifted some of the produce from your vehicle. Seemed it was to sell." A fabric 'thumb' gestures behind him, where sure enough, there were some guys in the distance tied up in fabric, already attended to by an officer.

"I figured you'd want these back. They're clearly popular!"

❝ oh my curious now aren't you ? maybe i was joking – — or perhaps i was serious ? ❞ whis spoke as he walked over to goku — staring off into the distance as he gave himself some thought . did he have the means to be that of a god of destruction ? perhaps . yes , perhaps. at first it was , but a mere joke , a jest to get under lord beerus skin — after all with the sleeping that he does at time would be justified . plainly speaking what was gokus end goal in it ?

growing stronger & stronger is an admirable feat , truly it is — but very wasted potential as well when you think about it . ❝ tell me , son goku , what is it in life you wish to see ? the means you grow stronger & stronger ? lord beerus is not leaving anytime soon , but that doesnt mean when the time comes for his lord to step down & someone new to take over we would need someone . merely speaking why not see the means if a mortal has what it takes to do that what a god can do , no ? ❞

whis smiled to himself at a time far back then . waving his staff to show goku the universe vastly around them . ❝ tell me . what would you have to offer for the universe ? would you take up . . . perhaps a little test run ? im sure lord beerus himself wouldnt mind at all if we test you out on such things . & please remember goku , if lord beerus dies then the supreme kai would die as well . a ying and yang . the balance between . ❞

[hopefromadoomedtimeline]

Okay the stranger kinda has a point but what if instead... A goku hug?

A hug?

Could Trunks afford the embarrassment of a hug? He's never really been hugged by anyone beyond his mother and his mentor. He might hold the hug longer than Goku may have intended...

He wouldn't want to cause an awkward situation with someone he held so highly in his mind, and he quickly shakes his head, "N-no- it's okay, I'm fine Goku, honest... But- uh- thank you for the offer-"

Was there a little bit of red on his cheeks? Maybe, but that's not important.

[divinityunleashed]

Vegeta could feel that kind of wrathful energy from here. And he's instantly reminded of how vicious Bulma could be.

@kxkarot Continued from [ ☄🛸☄ ]

There was something about this ship that unsettled Vegeta. He couldn't quite put his finger on why. So far, the only weird thing about it, had been how starkly different its exterior and interior were. It looked ancient on the outside, local flora attaching itself onto the decrepit ship, almost as if it had been left abandoned for years. Yet the moment they boarded, the inside had been pristine, untouched by time. Alarm bells kept ringing off in the princes head, but he shoved those concerns aside, its not like they had a choice. The ship they had arrived here had sustained significant damage, and with no way to repair it, it was a miracle that they even found this one. Too good of a miracle. Another weary feeling, as this planet had no life on it. No presence of ki, no signs of civilization for miles, just a random ship, on it own with no one around. Still the prince had no plans to remain trapped in this desolate wasteland and the two agreed they saw no harm in taking this ship and so they set their eyes to the stars and began their journey back home.

The initial flight had been uneventful, everything was going smoothly. As old as it had looked on the outside, all its internal components ran as if the vessel had been a top of the line new model ship. Everything worked perfectly and as strange as it was, even the built in fridge had fresh food. It instill a false sense of calm, Vegeta's initial worries dissipating as he was glad that they managed to find a way back home. The prince was slowly allowing himself to relax, that was, until there was a sudden red light flickering on the main monitor. Vegeta immediately straightened up as he ran a quick diagnostics test. A sudden unease began to resettle into the pit of his stomach. The airlock was malfunctioning. A simple fix, he had thought trying to brush aside his discomfort. He just needed to find the Airlocks control panel and manually override it and properly close the door himself. He searched all throughout the room, but he could not find it within the control room. He had wandered over to the doors that led into the airlock room and froze when he peered through the doors glass window.

Oh he had found the control panel, and it was located right next to the malfunctioning airlock door. It's placement couldn't have been a stupider design flaw. It set him on edge but he knew he had to fix the issue before it got any worse. Vegeta wasted no time, he knew he needed to be cautious, decided to listen to his gut and hold on fixing the issue until he found a proper space suit. Once he did, he put the suit and helmet on. Tethering himself, the two saiyans made sure to test Vegeta's lifeline, after both feeling relief that it was as secure as possible Vegeta had ordered Goku to keep watch in case anything happened.

Stepping inside he closed the door behind him as he then walked over to the panel. His muscles were taut as he worked to manually seal the doors, but when nothing was working he began to grow frustrated. It didn't make sense, the panel seemed to be working, but the doors continued to refuse to fully close. Just as Vegeta was trying to decipher what else could be the issue, the airlock doors slammed open and he was immediately sucked into the abyss of space.

Panic overtook him as he spun uncontrollably, the tether had snapped like a thread, leaving him to flail in the cold, unforgiving vacuum. Vegeta felt his chest constrict, his breathing becoming shallow inside the suit. The vastness of space swallowed him and for a fleeting moment, he thought this might be the end. But then a bright light shot through the void and in a heartbeat Goku was there, before Vegeta could register the events that were happening they were back in the ship. Goku slamming his fist onto the button and the doors sealed without hesitation this time, as if mocking Vegeta for his earlier struggle.

Vegeta's hands trembled as he yanked off his helmet before immediately gasping for breath, trying to calm the rapid beating of his heart. He was alive, but the reality of how close he had come to dying left a bitter taste in his mouth. He didn't waste time to head back to the control room, Goku following him behind. Everything had been working perfectly, the error message now gone. Their path through the stars steady and had remained in course. As if nothing had ever happened. Vegeta's brows furrowed as he they exchanged concerned looks. Something really wasn't right.

Hours would pass and nothing strange had happened. But already he was feeling exhausted, and from the look of Goku, he does too. Vegeta was quick to turn down Goku's suggestion of getting rest. He was still reeling from the earlier incident, he didn't trust this ship, and he would not be caught off guard again. The instant Goku had left the control panel, Vegeta's exhaustion surged, hitting him like an unexpected tidal wave. His limbs felt heavy, his mind foggy… it felt familiar. It reminded him of the sedatives Frieza's ships used to employ, a way to keep soldiers asleep long enough until they reached far away destinations. Vegeta fought to stay awake, but his body betrayed him as his eyes slid shut, his mind sinking into a deep, dreamless sleep.

He wasn't sure how long he had been out when he started to hear it. A faint scream…his name being called out? It was distant, echoing into his subconscious mind. Vegeta's face scrunched up, he tried to ignore it, savoring how good this rest had been. He hadn't had a good proper sleep in a long time, but the screaming grew louder, more desperate. Vegeta stirred with a groan, that feeling returned, something was wrong…terribly wrong. His eyes shot open, heart pounding as he realized the screams belonged to Goku. The prince bolted from his chair, driven by the growing panic in his chest.

The moment he turned the corner he was knocked off his feet. A force slamming into him, pinning him to the ground with a blinding light of a ki blast aimed point blank at his chest. Vegeta gasped, eyes wide as he found himself staring down the concentrated energy. "Kakarot! It's me!" he shouted, his voice rough, desperate to break through whatever madness had overtaken the taller saiyan. The ki dissipated as Goku got up before staggering back. And the rambling began as Goku's words tumbled out, disjointed, frantic. His eyes darted around as if he was still searching for whatever had been chasing him, his tail stiff and bristled out at all ends. Vegeta's blood ran cold. He had never seen Goku like this, never heard such raw fear in his voice. Whatever he had seen, had been real enough to shake him to his core.

Vegeta swallowed, forcing himself to stay calm as he began to get up. His own fear threatened to bubble over, but he couldn't afford to lose his composure, not now. "Alright… we'll check the security tapes. We'll find out what happened, whatever it was, it's not going to catch us off guard again."

He didn't know if he believed his own words, with so much uncertainties happening in such a short amount of time, he's weary, but his words were all he had. Without wasting anymore time the prince turned to walk back to the control room, his mind racing as he tried to piece together what was happening. The ship, the airlock, Goku's terror it was all beginning to feel far more sinister than a mere malfunction. If they were going to survive, they would have to confront whatever it was that lurked in the shadows. And if nothing, at least the security tapes would know where the hell this thing was hiding and what exactly they would be dealing with.
