[1: Eye of the Monkey]
[There's a bitty monkey running through town with a (sadly, not size-changing) staff, making poses out of one of those bad kung fu movies and swinging it around. He's seen a few people use these things before and he wants to be just like them because he thinks they are the awesomest things to ever awesome ever.

For a normal kid this would be harmless fun with only a few people being whacked by accident.

Yeeeeah, this is Goku. He has super strength. And though he doesn't mean it he's making cracks in walls when he hits things and shouting 'Sorry Mister!' when people come out to yell at him and then running off isn't going to help matters.]


[2: The Overused Meme]
[Since arriving in Midgard there have been a few missions up on the space station Valhalla. For one reason or another Goku winds up left behind. He has since discovered books about space and it's the latest thing he's latched on to.

Naturally when he discovers there's another mission to Valhalla coming up, he hunts down the first person he knows going on it, blocks their way, gives them the saddest puppy eyes he can manage (Nataku taught him well), and says:]

Can I go to space with you guys? Pleeeeeeeeease? I wanna go to spaaaaace!


[3: Inevitable Food Fight. As In Fighting Over Food]

[So you were at a feast just enjoying a good meal when you try to grab a meatbun.

It doesn't move. There is a child who has latched onto the meatbun and is intent on eating it. He looks like he will fight you for it despite it being part of a pile easily taller than him.

WHAT DO YOU DO?]

[Lancer just happened to be walking home with his groceries, among which were a dozen or so eggs because Misaya wanted omelettes.]

[So you can imagine his horror when Goku sends his groceries flying. Despite his quick reaction, the eggs still end up splattered on the ground.]

[He turns to the boy and growls.]

You...

WACHOW!!!

[CRACK ON THE HEAD!]

[puppy_lancer]

YOU LITTLE..!

[Lancer reaches out to grab the child.]

Re: 1

[mini_meatbun]

[He can, but he may have a hard time with those chains on Goku because ohgodwhyaretheysoheavy?!]

Re: 1

[puppy_lancer]

[He strains before he can lift the child off of his feet.]

What are you doing swinging that thing around like a maniac?

[Damn, this kid is heavy.]

[mini_meatbun]

[His eyes are wide because holy shitake mushrooms on the side of steak tartar at six in the evening!]

Are you a god?

[puppy_lancer]

No, just a Heroic Spirit.

[His arm has started getting tired already.]

Anyway, watch where you swing that thing.

[mini_meatbun]

What's a Heroic Spirit? Is it more powerful than a god because these stupid chains make it so even a god can't lift me up.

[NOPE. Focused on only one thing. Also he might now think Lancer is the coolest thing ever..... this week.]

[puppy_lancer]

I'm a hero of the past. You know what heroes are, don't you?

[He gingerly places the child on the ground. It's less embarrassing than dropping him once his arm gets too tired.]

[mini_meatbun]

Uh-huh! They have capes and masks and cool names and shoot laser beams from their eyes and they can even fly!

[puppy_lancer]

...

What.

Last tag then I go to work.

[mini_meatbun]

Like the Mighty Meatbun and his Party of Protectors! They were just an ordinary bunch of side dishes meant to be eaten during the lunch rush when a mad scientist accidentally poured his Chemical X onto them instead of the restaurant's secret sauce! They fight crime.

Re: Last tag then I go to work.

[puppy_lancer]

...Do you know about heroes other than what you see in cartoons?

[mini_meatbun]

Like firemen?

[puppy_lancer]

[Lancer's palm meets his face.]

No, I mean like...from legends.

...I don't suppose I could get you to eat the other ones and leave this one alone?

Re: 3

[mini_meatbun]

But I want it!

[Yank! Bitty monkey has super strength, donchaknow?]

Re: 3

[lone_wolf_of_southtown]

*Which certainlly forces Terry to yank forward too, but he's still got it. Although he might have just shifted deliberately to prevent it from getting ripped.*

What's wrong with all the other ones?!

Re: 3

[mini_meatbun]

I saw this one first.

Re: 3

[lone_wolf_of_southtown]

And I got to it first! It's not that complicated!

Re: 3

[mini_meatbun]

No! I did!

Re: 3

[lone_wolf_of_southtown]

And I'm telling you, that meatbun is --

...holy CRAP this is a stupid argument!

*Terry lets go of the meatbun. Then reaches for another one and flips it over Goku's head.*

Catch this one too!

*That oughta keep the little rugrat distracted long enough for him to get one or two in.*

Re: 3

[mini_meatbun]

[Goky jumps up, grabs the tossed meatbun, and proceeds to wolf both down.

Terry will find as long as they don't grab the same bun at the same time they can get along swimmingly!]

[Okay. Gohan is simply...going to stare. He isn't sure what this kid is doing. So now he has an onlooker -- just one with obvious muscles and a gi on.]

Re: 1

[mini_meatbun]

[which, sadly, don't ping him. At all.

So let's just have the kid turn a corner too sharply and swing that staff at Gohan because he isn't paying attention!]

[returnmyrice]

Hey!

[Gohan reaches up to catch the staff in his hand before it hits him in the head.]

Be careful!

[mini_meatbun]

Sorry! [Oh god he must be so strong to stop the dang thing! That pings the kid and you can practically see him bouncing in place!]

Hey, what's your name? Did you just get here?

[returnmyrice]

Huh?

Um, no, I've been here for a week or so. And my name's Gohan.

[mini_meatbun]

I'm Goku! And I can't believe you're my age! I hardly ever see someone my age around here! You wanna be friends?

[returnmyrice]

Um, that's really sudden to ask, isn't it?

[mini_meatbun]

Really? [He scratches the back of his head and finally lowers the staff.] But the only other people around here are adults. Why can't we be friends?

[returnmyrice]

I'm not saying we can't. I think we should try to get to know each other first.

[mini_meatbun]

Okay! Wanna go play tag?

[returnmyrice]

Just the two of us?

[mini_meatbun]

Uh-huh! It's really fun. 'Specially if you know all the good hiding place around here.

[returnmyrice]

I think it would be more fun if we could get more people to play. I know there's two or three girls who are our age.

[mini_meatbun]

Well how do we find them? I wanna be friends with them, too!

[returnmyrice]

I see them in the Palace District all the time. I bet they live at the villa there.

You can see where some of Kyoko came from, can't you?

[mini_meatbun]

Let's go see if they wanna play! [Grabs arm. DRAGS.

Drag attempt succesful: Y/N?]

[super_woolf]

We don't really need you up there.

Re: 2

[mini_meatbun]

But I wanna gooo! It's s'pposed ta be really cool! Ya gotta let me! I won't get in the way! Promise!

[Ehehehe.... the last time he promised that he wound up helping the Monkey King put de-aging potion in the fruit punch at the last feast.]

[super_woolf]

I wanna help you kid, but in space if you break a window, all us normal humans could die. Yesterday you knocked down the front gates by tripping while playing tag.

[mini_meatbun]

But I helped to fix it!
