[You appear to be struggling with something. Perhaps your guild asked you to do something special, or you're trying to set up for the guild fair. Or perhaps something else. Anyway, all of a sudden, some kid in a purple gi and with spiky black hair descends from the sky above.]

Hey there! Would you like some help?


[2]



[The library! It's big, innit? Well, this kid here is able to maneuver well enough to get around quickly. As for directions, though...]

Um, excuse me! Could you tell me where the exit is?


[3]



[You and Gohan are good friends. Right now, you're feeling down. Gohan notices, and plops into the empty seat beside you.]

Hey, you look down. Is everything OK?


[4]



[Uh-oh. Someone, whether it was you or someone else, has just angered Gohan. For some reason, his normally-black hair has turned gold, his black eyes have turned teal, and a golden aura now surrounds him.



...Or maybe that's just not enough. In which case, Gohan is now at full power.]

You disgusting creep... I'll make sure you can't do that ever again! This is going to end now!

[Oh thank God there was no way Makoto was going to carry all of those boxes by herself.]

Thanks a bu--

[Uh-oh. Time to crank up the speed!]

[returnmyrice]

[Several blurs later, Gohan is standing on the ground, the boxes in two stacks in his arms.]

Are you all right? What happened?

Re: 2/2

[brokoto]

[Okay, calm down, there's obviously a really good explanation for thi--wait did he just catch all of that? And is he carrying them like they aren't a thing?]

I don't know... How did you...

[white_holy_grail]

[ She pretends to not hear him at all. Illya didn't have time to give someone directions.

Can't he see that she was too busy trying to reach a book? So go away!

Hnmph. Why is it much too high? ]

[returnmyrice]

Excuse me? Did you hear me?

[Gohan just watches for a moment.]

[white_holy_grail]

[ It looked like he wasn't going away ... and it also looked like she is not getting that book ... ]

Ah! Mou!

[white_holy_grail]

[ Turning to Gohan. ]

What do you want?

[returnmyrice]

Um...I just wanted to know if you know where the exit is from here.

[lifeissuffering]

[We're sorry, the person you are inquiring about is currently nigh catatonic and is currently not responding]

[returnmyrice]

...Excuse me? Did you hear me?

Are you all right?

[lifeissuffering]

[Gohan may detect what sounds like the flat-voiced adding of figures and the occasional mention of "ticket sales"]

[returnmyrice]

[Gohan pauses for a moment, then puts a hand on his shoulder and begins gently shaking.]

Hey, are you okay? You've gotta snap out of this!

[ Honestly, she's not supposed to be flying around where people can see her, but oopsie! Here's someone she's never seen before, but he has dark hair like papa.

So he can be all that bad, right? ] Mm, I don't need any help. In fact, I'm the one who's supposed to help others.

Haven't you seen one of my kind before? [ She says as her wings flutter. The girl is tiny, with fairy-like wings protruding from her back. It's almost as though he landed in a horrible first person game. ]

[returnmyrice]

Helpers sometimes need help, too, though.

Huh? [He hadn't given it much thought.] No, I guess I haven't. Why do you ask?

[immortalobject]

Not me, that's against my function. [ A pause as she taps her cheek thoughtfully. ] I think it is.

Besides, I ask because if you knew what I was, you wouldn't be offering to help in the first place.

[hegemonstratos]

[Einhard blinked, looking over at him for a moment.]

... It's over that way.

[She pointed over to the right, still looking at him. How could he forget where the exit was?]

[returnmyrice]

Thanks!

[Beat]

...Huh? Is there something on my face?

[hegemonstratos]

... No. I just thought that anyone would check to make sure they knew where the exit was before doing anything else.

Somebody stepped on my ear ~miru.

[returnmyrice]

They...they did? Are you all right?

[tsundairy]

Perfectly fine ~miru! I hate humans ~miru.

1; Maybe I can be of help for the samples? 8|a

[the_tv_is_a_lie]

[...You might want to help him out there without question, Gohan. He looks like he hasn't gotten more than a few winks of sleep, and he's still carrying those boxes full of whatever the guild needed.]

[returnmyrice]

[Yeah, uh. Gohan's just going to grab half of those boxes.]

I hope you don't mind. Where are you going with these?
