[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!

Comments

[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.]

[fusrodaaaah]

[It's fine, Goku. Everything in here is either secured, or put away. Mostly so customers don't walk off with it. Or so his Omen doesn't get into it. And the plants are all in hardy pots.]

It - it's okay. No one um. No one ever knocks things down.

[He's never had a problem with that before! You'll be fine, Goku.]

Do - do you - um. Right. You need. Potions.

[Stop fidgeting Melius, you'll knock things down.]

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku looks impressed at that.] Whooaa... Ever?? Is that 'cause of some kinda magic potion thing??

[Because... He has no idea. How does magic work? It's magic. What does Goku know about magic? Literally nothing.

At least he's still smiling. Nice and friendly and cheerful-like.] Yeah! Potions for my friends!

[He leans forward on the counter a little bit, real casual while he looks up at lizard-man and just... kinda admires how cool he looks in person. He's really not scary at all. Goku feels totally safe here!]

[fusrodaaaah]

N-no. I um. I think Aakhahnu keeps people... in line.

[His Omen. Who is now perched on the counter, watching Goku with very intense eyes. She clacks her jaws, squawking something along the lines of bitch.]

[Sorry about her.]

Okay. Um. Hold on - [He's back to scouring shelves. Why did he put the bottles back? We just don't know. But shortly, he produces a couple of potions. They're both red, and one is in a larger sized bottle.] Here.

[glutton_monkey]

[That little squawk draws Goku's attention, and- Sorry little one. Goku looks quite happy to see you.]

Ah!! Hey there! [He turns his grin back on the lizard-man.] Her name is Ah-kah-na??

[And while the other goes back to searching the shelves for potions, Goku sidles up closer to the little dragon, a cheerful look on his face.]

Hiya! You really do kinda look like Jeep... But redder. An' more spiky. I like it, it makes ya look super cool!!

[fusrodaaaah]

[Melius glances back - he's on a little ladder, gathering some things.]

Aakhahnu. She um. She's - like the dragons. In my world.

[Except tiny. But he figures that goes without saying. Aakhahnu, meanwhile, puffs up a bit, flaring her wings. She's definitely not as friendly as Jeep.]

Bo joor! Nid mey zul, bitch.

[... welcome to your crash course in Dovahzul, Goku. She thinks you're too loud.]

[glutton_monkey]

[Goku puts his bag of bread on the counter while waiting, leaning forward so he can rest his chin on his hands while he keeps watching the little dragon. She does seem mad for some reason, but she's so cute, so he's still smiling.]

Aahh... Ahh-kah-noo? Ak-hah-noo? [He keeps saying it until he manages to get the pronunciation a little better. Trying to learn!]

D'you know what she's sayin', mister??

[fusrodaaaah]

Ah-kah-new.

[He's not really thinking about the correction, busy reading a couple jars. There - that one.]

[He's very absorbed in it all until Goku asks that. If an Argonian could go pale...? He would be a piece of printer paper.]

Um. Um- yes. I uh. I do.

[His omen makes a gurgling growl. That's a laugh.]
