Heaven's BBS | Video
Posted: September 2
From: Wenchang Wang
[Hello, Far Shore.
What greets you today are the wonderful faces of these dinosaurs. They both look livid.]
Hey! Don't scare people off if you want answers!
[The dinosaurs seem to huff but back off as Gohan appears on the screen.
The god rubs the back of his head, looking sheepish.]
Uh, sorry about that, but I was wondering if anyone's seen a couple of eggs. They look like this. [He directs the screen to the nest of eggs.] It's not anywhere around my temple grounds so if anyone sees them around, mind bringing them back?
[A brief pause as Gohan looks back at the dinosaurs before looking back at the screen.]
They're supposed to hatch soon so it'd be good if the eggs are returned safely. Thank you.
[And before the feed ends, the one of the left releases a deafening roar.]

No, I'm afraid I haven't seen any eggs since our last adventure together.
But if they're dinosaur eggs, they must be quite large. I'm sure they can't have gotten very far on their own.
no subject
No, definitely not on their own.
[His tone suggests that he does know who might have taken them. Honestly, he's not sure if Archer has the strength to carry an egg - two, no less - but there is another person he knows who is aware of the dinosaurs being on the Far Shore.]
no subject
Not on their own. [She echoed. That left only one possible scenario.] Who else knew about them? That might narrow things down a bit.
no subject
[Also, look, Mai. You get to know about Goten.]
no subject
[Hmm...her first instinct, of course, was to question more about this other guy. If only because she had met Goten and he didn't immediately strike her as an egg thief. However, she also knew from experience that things were not always what they seemed, and to never rule out the possibility of anything.]
Oh. So you have met Goten. [Coincidentally enough, she'd been meaning to ask about him for some time now, although this...was probably not the best place to do it. Too public.] He's a good kid. Reminds me a little bit of you, actually.
[That should be a safe enough hint.]
no subject
Gohan simply smiles. He's not sure if Goten likes to go on the BBS, but it can't hurt to be safe. Not to mention, Goten has some friends here who can probably connect the dots quick enough if they see him and know what he can do.]
Does he? I'm surprised.
[There's something in his tone that suggests they really shouldn't be talking about this, not on the network, anyway.]
If you're not busy, mind helping me find the eggs? [It's an excuse to simply talk to Mai about this in private personally and he hopes she can catch onto it quick enough to agree.]
no subject
I have some time.
I'm guessing you'll be at your Temple?
no subject
[So he'll be here.
With dino moms.]
no subject
Alright. I'll be there as soon as I can.
[Though, when she does eventually arrive, she won't exactly be knocking on the front door. Lingering back as a means of being ware of dinosaurs seemed like the smartest options. She was pretty sure Gohan would either be able to sense her or see her soon enough, anyway.]
no subject
After managing to calm the dinosaurs, he comes to greet her, coming down to land in front of her.]
Glad you can make it.
no subject
Happy to help.
Have there been any developments in the meantime?
no subject
[Two people who are important to Goten. Go figure.]
no subject
I know the name Aymeric. [Two guess from whom] But I'm not sure I recognize Sharak.
no subject
[And reminds him a bit of his mother and Bulma.]
no subject
Are you certain it was him?
[She wasn't mad or sad or even disappointed. If anything, her expression betrayed confusion.]
We only spoke a couple of times, but he doesn't strike me as the kind of kid who would go around taking people's dinosaur eggs without asking.
no subject
[Along with the fact that Emizel admitted it was Goten.]
He probably did it with good intentions, but he did pretty much commit a kidnapping.
no subject
[Heaving a sigh, she folded her arms across her chest and tried to think.]
A kid kidnapping anyone is a little different than an adult doing it, though. I'm not saying he shouldn't face any consequences, but...I do kind of hope they go easy on him.
Did he ever do anything like this back home?
[Yeah she wasn't even going to pretend she didn't know they were family by now.]
no subject
[He laughs sheepishly.]
Kidnapping? No. But he and Trunks did get into a lot of trouble together.
[Those were the good old times.]
no subject
[Of course, because Mai could think more on that, Gohan's response to her question processed, and she did a double take.]
...they did?
[It wasn't the trouble part that surprised her. It was the part about them causing trouble together.]
I had no idea they knew each other before.
no subject
[But this confirms his own suspicions.
He eyes her.]
You're from a different timeline, right? Just about the same timeline Trunks is from?
no subject
I am.
no subject
Gohan frowns, arms crossed.]
It's not my place to ask this, but can I ask what happened? The last time I've seen that Trunks was a long time ago, after all.
no subject
The last time...
[Trunks had told her about that. Not the whole story, of course, but it was enough to give her a timeline to work with. Gohan would have been young. The Androids would have only just been awaken, if even then. And...something about a creature named Cell.]
How much were you told about the Future?
[There was little point in rehashing something if he already knew. Better to focus on the details he didn't.]
no subject
[Is that clue enough?]
no subject
That fight was years ago, by our time. I didn’t know him well yet, but I knew it took little effort after his trip to the past to defeat them. Cell, too.
But then...it was a year ago. I think. Maybe more, maybe less. [Talking about the androids wasn’t so hard, despite the terror they had caused already. But it was here her eyes hardened. The eyes of someone much older, who had seen more than a lifetime’s worth of pain and sorrow.] A new enemy appeared. Stronger. Faster. More ruthless than anything Earth had ever seen. He wanted to kill all humans. That was his only goal. For months and months, he hunted us down. We...we lost so many friends.
[Shu. Pilaf. Bulma.]
Trunks and I did our best to keep fighting, but even then...it wasn’t enough. We needed help.
[Here, she paused, allowing Gohan a moment to absorb that much.]
