[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!

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??

[fusrodaaaah]

O-oh sure. Sure, you - you can.

I'm um. In my shop. In Willful Machine.

[glutton_monkey]

Cool!!

..What's will full machine??

[fusrodaaaah]

O-oh um. It's - it's a part of the city... the market area.

[glutton_monkey]

Oh!

[He stops where he is, looking around him and off camera.]

I'm in th' market area now! What's your potion shop called??

[fusrodaaaah]

Potion - The Potion Hut.

[Like a pizza hut.]

[glutton_monkey]

[The fuck is a pizza hut--]

[Goku looks around some more then, murmuring the name to himself. He saw the word a little while ago, but...]

Uh... How d'you spell "potion" again??

[fusrodaaaah]

Uh.

P o t i o n.

[Does that help???]

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku nods idly while he looks around, murmuring the letters to himself.]

P... O t i... Ahh! There it is!

[And off he goes toward it!]

[fusrodaaaah]

[Yep, welcome to the Potion Hut. There's plants everywhere. Bottles. Jars. Drawers. All kinds of neat stuff.]

[And there's the lizard. At the front counter.]

[glutton_monkey]

[Energetic as always, Goku comes bounding in through that door--

Only to completely freeze upon crossing the threshold. Because this... looks like a lot of super complicated, super breakable stuff. And he's still got a bag full of bread.]

...Um. Hello??? Mr. Potion Guy???

[fusrodaaaah]

[Melius isn't ... really all that imposing when you see him in person. He's got big ol' eyes, blinks a lot, and, for the hero of Skyrim, he's kind of on the scrawny side.]

[If you don't think about the horns and talons, anyway.]

Um... h-hello. You - you can come in.

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku hesitates for just another moment before he steps inside. He's maybe a little uncharacteristically careful about it, but there's a lot of glass and breakable things and he doesn't want anyone getting mad at him for breaking magic stuff. But at least he's definitely making his way over to where Melius is.]

Hi!! [He does still greet the big lizard-man with a smile, waving his free hand as he closes that distance between them.] Sorry, I just didn't wanna knock somethin' over...

[Clearly he isn't sure if keeping himself two-feet away from the breakable things is enough.]
