Summary: smol Trunks doing some things with people. some closed prompts with an open prompt.


( GOTEN; trees and thangs )
[ A little ways out of the city and from everyone really, Trunks climbs his way up the tallest tree that he can find and makes his way pretty much right to the top. It's once he's found a rather sturdy branch that he throws his blanket over it and takes a seat across it, looking down to see how far Goten is from him since Trunks went up ahead first to make sure there weren't any monsters or anything that would cause them problems. ]

Hey, Goten! What's taking you so long?

[ Sheesh, talk about a slowpoke. He better not have found that nest of baby birds on the way up. ]



( ROKUROU; swords and thangs )
[ On the day that he and Rokurou are to meet for lunch and sword shopping, Trunks comes to gently touch down on the ground after flying his way over to their meeting location in Shaarnath, his backpack slung over his shoulder and a rather determined look on his face. Well, there's also a smile, because he's been looking forward to this but the name of this game is to find himself THE PERFECT SWORD and Rokurou has offered to help. Or was picked to help whether he wanted to or not. Kids or something.

Either way, when Trunks spots the other, he makes his way over and, reaching out, tugs on his pant leg much like he had done back when they did their sword training. ]

Hey, I brought water in case we get thirsty since it can be hot around here.

[ It's good to plan ahead after all. ]


( ZARKON; hunting and thangs )
[ This Herodotus creature sure sounds like it might be a bit of a challenge and what is it that Saiyans adore? A good fight and a good challenge, so of course Trunks signs himself up for this. Unfortunately one needs a partner for this but, so long as his partner can handle himself? He doesn't mind and it shows in the way he approaches Zarkon, coming to stand beside him. ]

You ready then? [ Tilting his head. ] You gonna take one of those flying bikes?

[ Since, well, Trunks doesn't need that or an airship. ]



( OPEN; just thangs )
[ Pretty much up until the player plot kicks into high gear, Trunks will be found around the market looking in various windows of shops, handing out more THE KNIGHTS OF THRAS posters, feeding animals under a bridge, even having lunch by himself on a bench with his papers and sword set aside. Feel free to bump into him wherever you'd like, if you'd like, he's a good kid who's just puttering around town. ]

Comments

[torankusu]

[ Floating in a little closer, Trunks makes sure to keep his hands at his sides but tilts his head this way and that way as he looks to it and the markings. ]

Can you shoot lasers from it or something?

[ A tiny gasp, a look of excitement. ]

Or see through walls? Or see people in the dark?

[ !!! ]

Is that the source of all your power and if someone cuts it out, you'll be weak and done for?!

[rokubro]

[This kid, he just laughs even more.]

Sorry, but nope—although I can see through the dark better than the average human and you're not too far off about it related to my abilities. Wouldn't call it the source of my powers, though.

[torankusu]

[ Well colour him super duper curious. Reaching out, while still floating, he takes hold of Rokurou's hand and gives a tug as he starts to float away. ]

Come on, then! We have to find my sword and test your eye out!

[rokubro]

[And now he's being tugged. Trunks, do you want to hold his hand, he'll allow it.]

So long as you're not trying to actually stab it. [Not that it would happen even if he did try. But he's following Trunks... For like two steps before he stops and points down a different road.] But the swordsmith is down this way.

[torankusu]

Huh?

[ Coming to stop mid-air, Trunks glances off to where Rokurou is pointing and, awkwardly so, laughs a little as he rubs the back of his head. ]

Oh, yeah... I knew that! Haha!

[ Or something. But!! Off he goes flying in that direction then. ]

Come on! Don't be so slow!

[rokubro]

Oh, so you know where we're going?

[Said in a jest, indicating that he doesn't think Trunks does. So he just grins as he just continues his lazy, carefree pace.]

And hey, not everyone can fly. Besides it's nice to take in the sights and sounds of the city.

[Not really, but he's just having some fun.]

[torankusu]

[ Rooookuuuuroooooou. Don't be like that and Trunks even gives a look to show you shouldn't be like that. However, he does dial it down a notch and comes to float alongside the daemon as they go. ]

Ok well then tell me this: if you're a daemon and all that, are you like... hundreds of years old or something?

[rokubro]

[Truuuuuuuuuuunks. Go with the flow man, no need to rush. Just take it eeeaaassy. Okay he's not that much of a hippie, but he just kind of smirks a little when Trunks joins him because clearly he won this non-existent battle of wills.]

Nah, I'm only twenty-three and only been a daemon for three of them. But I can live up to that long, assuming I don't die in battle first. I've even met a daemon who was a few centuries old, so it's not unheard of.

But there probably aren't too many since we don't exactly live a peaceful life.

[Says the guy who is...living kind of like that lately. But of course that's not going to last long...]

[torankusu]

So are you just going to look like this forever then and never age anymore?

[ He'll forever look like this twenty-three year old guy like he does now? Saiyans age rather slowly in appearance so maybe it's the same for Rokurou? ]

And how'd you become one anyway? Did you get bit or something?

[rokubro]

...You know, I'm not really sure. [He taps his chin thoughtfully as they walk.] Other than Velvet and some of the other therions, I haven't really seen or really heard of many daemons that still look as human as I do. But we all changed recently, so that's not much to go off on.

[So he just shrugs.]

Guess I'll find out one day.

As for how I became one...ah ha ha. [Just a slow laugh.] Maybe I should save that for scary story time.

[torankusu]

Who's Velvet? Is that your girlfriend?

[ Adults and dating things. Good grief. ]

And just so you know! [ He says this with a rather loud HUFF. ] I'm not a baby. I can handle scary stories plenty.

[rokubro]

[—Say what now.]

Who, Velvet?

[He's just going to look at Trunks before he just busts out laughing.]

Oh man, if she heard you say that—! [HaaaaaHAHAHA yeah that's pretty good, Trunks whoo man. Give him a couple of hours seconds and he'll wipe that stray tear as he manages to recompose himself.]

Haha, nah, definitely not. Just someone I'm indebted to and helping with her journey. [Of murderous revenge and potentially ruining the world although plot twist they're actually saving it so whatever, he gets to fight and got to achieve his own goal.

But dude. He laughed so hard he forgot what else Trunks said.]

[torankusu]

[ Well!! He doesn't know, ok??

But while Rokurou is having his laughing fit there, Trunks just sort of STARES at him in confusion because... why is that so funny?? ]

Uh, did she save your life or something?

[ Because, you know, indebted and all. ]

[rokubro]

[IT'S HYSTERICAL BECAUSE DATING IS THE LAST THING ON VELVET'S MIND and he knows this for a fact because they actually happened to talk a little about it.

Aaah okay, he's cool he's cool.]

Sort of. She did start the riot that helped break me out of prison. But more importantly she found my sword.

[torankusu]

[ Cue record scratch because- ]

Wait. You were in jail?

[ He's going to just hover in front of Rokurou now and STARE to him with a little bit of a squint. ]

What did you do?

[rokubro]

[Trunks is going to learn a lot of fun things about him today, huh.]

Tried get revenge on my brother but failed and in the process failed my lord and dishonored my family's name.

[And he says this like he's just saying the weather—without much care or discomfort.]

[torankusu]

[ A disagreement of sorts with his brother, huh? Trunks here can sort of relate to that just... not the whole wanting to exact revenge or anything. But losing his temper and going ham on him? Sure. ]

Is your family mad at you now?

[ And as he asks that, Trunks comes to float around behind Rokurou... and attempts to somehow sit on his shoulders... you know... if Rokurou will let him because floating can be tiring and all. ]

[rokubro]

[THIS KID...

But nah, he'll glance over at Trunks when he sees him floating over, but he'll allow it. Just watch the sword.]

Hm... [How to...answer this. It's not that he has any qualms about being honest, but it's not exactly a great story to tell a kid.] To be honest, most of my family was already dead, so they didn't really know. My brother was the only one left and he didn't care at all.

[torankusu]

[ Look at Rokurou being a good. But Trunks will settle himself on those shoulders and have his hands rest atop the daemon's head, looking ahead as they go since, well, Rokurou knows the way to go, right?

Frowning a little, Trunks rests his chin on the crown of Rokurou's head then and he hums a little, hands still holding to his hair gently. ]

Is he a daemon, too?

[rokubro]

[Yeah too bad it's not going to last long ahahahah.

Rokurou will indeed walk on, not minding the weight of the boy on his shoulders. It feels like he's keeping balance all right, so he won't hold onto his legs. Just don't pull on his hair, okay thanks.

He just chuckles a little at the question.]

Nah, he was better than that. Or rather, he had a stronger will and clear line of thought so it was never a problem for him.

[torankusu]

[ Don't trip and fall and he won't have to pull your hair?? But, coming to lift his head up, he looks down to Rokurou... you know, the best he can from this angle and all. ]

Are you trying to say you're a bad person?

[ Sounds fake if so. for now?? ]

[rokubro]

[He just turns his head slightly to glance up at him with a wry but amused expression.]

I'm a daemon. Doesn't that already make me a bad person?

[torankusu]

[ Did you know Trunks doesn't like baloney and therefore, he's not buying it? ]

Maybe if you were trying to eat me.

[ To which he folds his arms across the top of Rokurou's head and smiles down to him. ]

You wouldn't be my friend if you were a bay guy, right? Bad guys don't like having friends. Just minions to do their bidding.

[rokubro]

How do you know I'm not secretly trying to turn you into my minion?

[torankusu]

Because you're taking me to lunch and helping me get my sword.

[ And CLEARLY that's not something a bad guy would do, right? ]

Uh, you're buying it for me, too, right?
