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. ]

[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?

[rokubro]

What, the lunch or the sword?

[torankusu]

[ SWEATS. ]

Uh... both?

[ And he smiles NICE AND BIG. ]

[rokubro]

.......Okay, I'm fine with footing the bill on the lunch, the sword is supposed to be all you. [Just a poke to his knee.]

[torankusu]

Yeah but... I'm a kid. I don't have any money.

[ Flawless counterattack. ]

[rokubro]

You can still get a job off the task board. They don't usually have age limits and I've seen plenty of kids take them on.

[Flawless parry.]

[torankusu]

[ Welp. You asked for it, Rokurou.

Trunks wraps his arms around the daemon's neck and hugs him tight as he wiggles his head against the other's. ]

Pleeeeeease? I'll pay you back, promise. Friends help each other out, right?

[rokubro]

Hrmngh—! [OH MY GOD WHY CHILDREN. He actually kind of chokes a little because Trunks, this is cute but the neck the neck! Also caught off guard because was not expecting a hug attack. So hands are just going to Trunks's arms to try to pull them away at least enough to breathe better.]

You really are—a little brat, you know that?

[And just going to bonk his head against Trunks.]
