[Having only just learned how to use video on the omni, Goku's feed is a bit shaken and choppy. He's really only half visible for most of it, kind of stepping out of frame every so often because he's clearly walking. You might see some of the rolls of bread he's carrying.]

Hi ev'rybody! My name's Goku, an' my friends said that I should talk to th' network if I need help with stuff, soooo... Do we have any healers around here?? 'Cause my friend's ankle is broken but he can't heal himself 'cause it don't work like that or somethin', so I was hopin' somebody else could help him??

Oh yeah, m'also goin' around deliverin' bread for him! So if Hakkai toldja that bread's on th' way over, that's me! Goku!

Uweh?? [His head tilts to one side, curious now.]

Why're you sayin' sorry? It's kinda cool, isn't it???

[fusrodaaaah]

I... is it?

I um. I didn't - think people liked dragons.

[Because they murder people and destroy cities.]

[glutton_monkey]

[And here Goku just blinks owlishly, eyes still big and curious.]

Really?? Why not?? They can fly an' they look super cool. What's wrong with that??

[fusrodaaaah]

... they kill people.

L-lots of people. And... and they want to rule the world... or eat it.

[Alduin did anyways. Did all the dragons want to eat the world? Or was that just his deal?]

[Questions Melius will never have answered.]

[glutton_monkey]

[Another blink. Goku's never seen dragons kill people. Sure, Jeep can be a force to be reckoned with when he wants to, but he's so small it's hard for him to imagine him going on a murderous rampage.]

All of 'em?? Aren't they kinda little for that stuff??

[fusrodaaaah]

Little?

[Excuse the squeak in his voice. He looks over at his Omen - she's pretty small. The size of a housecat, really. And then shakes his head.]

N-no. No they're ... they're huge. Aakhahnu is just - an omen.

[So she's tiny. For a dragon.]

[glutton_monkey]

Huge?? Like- Like a house kinda huge??

[Goku tries to imagine Jeep being that size. It probably should be at least a little scary, but to him Jeep will always be cute.]

I didn't know dragons could get that big!

[fusrodaaaah]

Y-yes. They. They can. They are. That big.

[Big enough to destroy a whole town!]

And mean. So... people. People don't... like them.

[glutton_monkey]

[This is all News to Goku. Dragons are pretty rare in his world, and obviously a lot smaller than houses, so this is just... beyond him.]

Oh... So issat why you didn't like it when I said you look like a dragon??

[fusrodaaaah]

Y-yes.

Yes. That. Is why.

[No it's not. Not all the way anyway. Because, technically, he is a dragon... it's complicated.]

I'm sorry.

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku smiles and shakes his head.]

No no, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you an' your omen buddy upset, but I still think you look super cool. I never seen anybody like you before!

[fusrodaaaah]

Fucker.

It - Oh!

[He clamps his hand on his omen's face. Which spurs more sputtering curses. All of them worse than the last, but you can't really hear them.]

N-no. She um. She's. She's always like this.

[glutton_monkey]

[The swearing just makes Goku grin, completely unfazed. He's heard much worse on a daily basis for... really for as long as he can remember. With no additional insults tacked onto it, he hardly even registers that it's meant to be mean.]

That's okay! I've got friends that're always mad, too.

[fusrodaaaah]

... You do?

Why?

[glutton_monkey]

[That... makes him pause for a second.

Why, indeed?]

Uhh... I dunno, actually. Most people piss him off pretty easy, I guess? An' Gojyo's good at makin' him mad, too. ...He gets mad at me a lot, too.

[SHRUG.] But that's kinda just how he is!

[fusrodaaaah]

[Melius: accidentally asking the Big Questions here.]

Oh. I um. That would - that sounds scary. To me.

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku just kind of... shrugs it off with a grin.]

We're used to it! He's really not so bad when ya get t'know him better.

[fusrodaaaah]

Is... is he here?

[glutton_monkey]

Nope, not yet. It's kinda weird bein' here without him, too...

[fusrodaaaah]

[Oh thank Akatosh.]

Um. I'm - I'm sorry. About that.

[glutton_monkey]

S'okay! He'd prob'ly hate it here, so I think it's better this way!

[fusrodaaaah]

I... yes. Not everyone likes it here.

I don't think it's that bad. I have - I have a potion shop here. And no big dragons.

[glutton_monkey]

Oh yeah!

[Thanks for the reminder, lizard man--]

What's a potion??

[fusrodaaaah]

Oh. Um.

It's - hold on. [Melius once again ducks off-screen. His omen takes this moment to speak up again. Chattering a few choice curse words. Most of them being "fuck" or some version of it.]

[When he pops up again, he's holding a vial of thick red liquid. It looks kind of like cranberry juice.]

This. You can um - you can drink it. To heal yourself.

[glutton_monkey]

[This actually gives Goku a moment to realize that he's in the middle of delivering bread. So while the little omen mutters curses at him, he's just hurrying along in his errand with a smile on his face. It really doesn't bother him. It actually kind of makes him feel like his friends are around.

He does stop to look again once lizard-man reappears, peering at his device with big curious eyes.]

Whoooaaaa... So all ya gotta do is drink it an' everythin'll heal right up?? Does it taste good???
