[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!

Uh...






I'm confused.

[fusrodaaaah]

Oh um.



I'm sorry.

[HE IS ALSO CONFUSED BUT DOESN'T WANT TO BE RUDE]

[glutton_monkey]

Uh...


What were we talkin' about again??

[fusrodaaaah]

...

Potions?

[glutton_monkey]

...


Oh yeah!!

You should mix 'em up with fruits so they'll taste good!

[fusrodaaaah]

It... um.

It really doesn't. Work like that.

[glutton_monkey]

Uweh?? But if th' fruit doesn't do anythin' when you're makin' th' potion, wouldn't it do nothin' if you just put the potion with it for flavor??

[fusrodaaaah]

But - but it could.

Because um. Everything has a property... and if they - if they mix wrong... they could be a poison.

[glutton_monkey]

Uwehhh?? I thought you said fruits're just food, though.

[fusrodaaaah]

It...


It just.

It just doesn't work. Like that.

[glutton_monkey]

...





I suuuuuuuuuper don't get it.

[fusrodaaaah]

Th - that's - that's okay. It um. I-I-it's complicated.

Alchemy is.

[glutton_monkey]

Al-che-my...

[He says it like he's testing how the word feels on his tongue.]

Why's it called that?? Why not just call it "potion makin'"?

[fusrodaaaah]

[What.]

It - it's just. Alchemy.

That's what it's called.

[glutton_monkey]

But why??

[fusrodaaaah]

Because... that's what it's called.

[Does he have to say it until the end of time??]

M-my parents. Said so.

[glutton_monkey]

... oh.

[He still doesn't get it, but that seems as good an answer as any.]

...It's a funny soundin' word.

[fusrodaaaah]

I... I guess it is? Maybe?

[glutton_monkey]

Did your parents teach ya how t'do it? The alchemy stuff??

[fusrodaaaah]

Y-yes. They - they did.

They had a shop. And - and I was going to take it over. Someday.

[glutton_monkey]

[He blinks. Somehow he didn't miss how that was said in past tense. It makes him look thoughtful.]

Did somethin' happen to it?

[He assumes something must have. Where he's from that kind of thing would indicate a youkai attack, after all.]

[fusrodaaaah]

I um. I don't... I don't know...

[He mumbles the last part, his shoulders hunching up toward his neck. He really doesn't know. After leaving for his ill-fated expedition... he hadn't been able to receive word back from his parents.]

[Hopefully, it was okay.]

Did. Did you want... anything? Potions?

[glutton_monkey]

Oh... [And at least here Goku knows well enough to not pry any further than that. It's usually bad news, after all.

He jumps on the subject change.]

Oh!! Yeah, is it okay t'get some potions? Just to help fix my friends up! Hakkai's got a broken ankle an' Gojyo-- [He pauses for a second, trying to remember better.] ...Uhh, Gojyo got pretty messed up, so he prob'ly needs somethin' real strong.

[fusrodaaaah]

Okay um. I have.

Hold on... [He ducks back off screen again. Digging around. Glass rattles while he goes through his shelves.]

Moderate ones. That um. That should work.

[glutton_monkey]

[He brightens.]

Really?? Awesome!! Should I come an' get 'em now, then??
