So, did anyone else run into the kid god on the volcano? I hear the Heavens have been claiming he was defeated, but me and a few others were there for that and "defeat" isn't the word I would have used. It looked a lot more like he sealed himself away or escaped.

We need to be prepared for the possibility of him coming back, but if anyone actually got him to talk instead of just retaliating, it'd be useful to have that information to work with. I get the impression nobody told him what he was going to be dealing with, but he definitely thinks us and the old gods are one and the same, so he's going to need convincing if any of you decided there was a misunderstanding.

[Or, as he doesn't really want to put it in case the Heavens are overseeing the conversation, in case anyone decided they want to protect him. Shun's been meaning to do this for a few days, but he's been given even more reason to be focusing on work in the last two, so why not use this to take his mind off things a bit.]

Exactly like that. But it's not an excuse.

Only that he wouldn't let us win because "we're with them". So he doesn't seem to see a difference between newcomers and old gods.

i dont think he really knew there was a difference
i told him we didnt care about them or there rules so much but he thought we just haveto do what they tell us to because we're here
someone told him that

[revolutionfalcon]

Sounds like someone who'd benefit most from having all of us out of the way. Might be who we've been dealing with controlling the cultists as well.

[And it definitely sounds like whoever's been orchestrating Votelli, even if she seems to have been told less.]

Did he give you his name, or say who told him that?

[rockthemonkey]

if theyre trying to kill us theyre not great at it

his dad told him
his human dad i didnt ask himm what his dads name is

[revolutionfalcon]

Doesn't make it any less annoying.

Did he say much about this "human dad" of his?

[That sounds a hell of a lot like Sensei already, honestly...]

[rockthemonkey]

not really
i dont think he wanted ti talk about him much
said he made him with a wish or something like that

[revolutionfalcon]

He was probably told not to. [Based on what he remembers with Votelli's reluctance to talk about Sensei.]

That sounds familiar. And a lot like that "Sensei" guy from the forest attack.

[He's trying not to publicly mention Votelli by name since he knows a few people have differing opinions on how to handle her, so he's focusing on the Sensei part of it instead.]

[rockthemonkey]

kinda i guess
but i dont think his dad knew about him showing up here
it sounded like he snuck out or something

[ Goku's main concern about talking about Votelli was that she made him promise not to- Sotero made no such requests and frankly seemed to give zero shits. Goku can respect that. Besides, Shun's cool. ]

[revolutionfalcon]

If he wasn't under orders to make the volcano erupt, then that's not exactly in support of the idea that anyone's going to be able to sway him to our point of view.

[Shun might be generally fairly reasonable about these matters, but he's also realistic.]
