Chapter 1 | Adventures in exploring and drinking

[beauchevalier]

Who: Angelo and all of Vatheon.
Where: All over the plaza, mainly at the local restaurants (feel free to specify any locations).
When: Afternoon into evening (backdated to the 1st and again, feel free to specify).
Style: Either first or third, I don't mind.
Status: Very open!

[After having to deal with a day of having to be pulled from what he was doing back home to an entirely new town, then ending up soaking wet on top of it, he wasn't in the best of moods at first. Once he finds a local restaurant to go in though, he gets himself a nice drink of red wine to sooth his irritation while seated at one of the tables. What anyone who finds him will notice right away is he looks like a certain someone, except his clothes are quite different as is his hair being much longer with a different shade altogether. His voice is vastly different too. He'll also be carrying a rapier in its hilt hanging off his hip belt, while on the other side there's a bow in a type of holder tied on said belt. He may be speaking to no one in general as well, primarily to himself if you have to name someone.]

If I knew I was going to be dragged from home, I would have brought more with me. Ah well, c'est la vie I suppose. At least I'm able to enjoy this wine, I couldn't ask for anything better. Though I wonder what else there is to do in this town. Hmmm. I'll have to see for myself, won't I?

[For the rest of the day, that is exactly what he's doing. Heading out of the place he's in, he goes out to other various restaurants mainly and stores to see how things are, also finding more ways to get dry (even though he did use the towels he obtained to dry himself off with). Small towels were not enough for him, if only he had the Sizzle spell he could dry off immediately. Instead, he decided to try having fun in town.]

Comments

[neededahand]

[Gohan isn't much of a drinker (his metabolism murders any attempts at a buzz), but he is an eater, and occasionally, he'll poke into restaurants after that talk with Bulla.

He glances up when he hears a voice, and while he can't immediately match it to a face, he does-- catch-- Gohan does a double-take at the stranger with the wine, and once the take is doubled, has to stare a bit.

Coloring is all wrong, but the general shape of him is... familiar...]

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo clearly sees Gohan staring at him and while he usually doesn't mind, especially if it's a girl, but it was sort of both confusing him and possibly giving him a little entertainment to be stared at.]

It's not very polite to stare at people. Or are you perhaps surprised to see someone as handsome as I in such a place?

[neededahand]

Aah, no.

[He laughs a little nervously. Embarrassed at having been caught -- sometimes, he forgets that people aren't as amenable to being observed the way wild animals are. Such is the plight of growing up isolated in the mountains.]

Sorry about that. You don't look handsome or not either way, but you do look remarkably like a friend of mine.

[And since calling across the room is nearly as rude as staring, Gohan approaches. In his surprise, he isn't bothering to hide his missing arm.]

[beauchevalier]

[When Gohan approaches him, he looks a little taken back at first because the man looks very...close to his own friend Eight. Of course the clothes, wrong hair color, and having one less arm makes it very clear that there was no one he could be him. However, his curiosity won't let it go.]

Ah, I see. But I'd like to ask, does the word "Guv" mean anything to you?

[neededahand]

Can't say that it does.

[Sitting down would be rude as well as forward, wouldn't it? Gohan remains a respectful distance away-- not enough to require shouting, however.]

Does it have some meaning I should be aware of?

[beauchevalier]

[He was right, this wasn't Eight. How silly of him to ask such a question he knew what the answer would be. Curiosity is a ridiculous thing.]

It's only a name for someone whom you reminded me of, that is all.

[fighting4afuture]

[Out and about, mostly because he can't stand being inside all day, and he's getting kinda used to seeing weird things.

Catching sight of a guy that could be his twin? Yeah, that most definitely counts. It doesn't occur to him to say anything, he just stares.]

[beauchevalier]

[As Angelo sipped his wine, he spied Trunks and immediately slightly choked on said wine at first. What sort of trickery was this? He's seen many a strange thing in his life, but this was just freaky and nothing he'd ever seen before. Though perhaps instead of being shocked, he could attempt to find some amusement in this.]

You could always sit with me if you're that in awe of my appearance.

[fighting4afuture]

[Noooope too weirded out. The hair color isn't right, and it's too long, even though his has been getting longer, but...

It's rude to stare anyway, and he averts his eyes.]

No...that's alright.

[Just going to...not flip out.]

[beauchevalier]

[He could see this one was being stubborn, he needed a way to get him over here for his amusement. He was also very curious about why the other looked like him but with different colored hair.]

I insist, I'm rather bored and would rather enjoy having some company.

[fighting4afuture]

[He is not your personal flying monkey sir. :| he is not here to entertain you.]

Are you new around here? I haven't seen you before.

[Trunks is still keeping something of a distance. Cordial, but that's about all that can be said.]

[beauchevalier]

[But he's so bored, these locals aren't fun at all.]

Yes, I arrived today. But now it's my turn to ask you a question. [He gets up and close to Trunks to examine him like a hawk staring down its prey. Something about this guy kept nagging at his mind and he couldn't remember why or for what reason, it could be the alcohol in his system getting him slightly tipsy.] Is it through some type of magic that your appearance matches mine? Or is there other reasons? Explain yourself.

[ooc: For the sake of consistency, would you like to say they met after Angelo met up with Lloyd? ;; If that's okay with you.]

[otaku_hitman]

[ Booze is Travis's best friend! He tends to hit the Italian place with the pizza and beer, but other places weren't out of the question. That was usually when he wanted the stronger stuff.

Which is one of those days. Shit, the locals really ran him into the ground with this festival setup, but it was worth the tokens. He trounces up to the bar and flops into a seat. ]

Whiskey

[ yeup. kind of strong, kind of not. Has that burning sensation as it goes down. yeup. ]

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo turns to look at Travis with a slightly raised eyebrow, but is also rather amused on the inside. He then decides to speak up after hearing his order.]

A man who enjoys the harder drink, are we?

[otaku_hitman]

Sometimes. It's one of those days today.

[ it's just not the usual beer beer beer beer. ]

[beauchevalier]

A special occasion or simply a mood choice for the day?

[otaku_hitman]

Mood. Fucking locals having me lift stuff. Do I look like a body builder? At least they pay really fucking well.

[beauchevalier]

[Oh the word "pay" rings a peculiar interest in him. After all, he does love his money.]

You get paid for lifting items? Exactly how much does it pay?

[redcladidealist]

[Just as Angelo is entering one store, Lloyd happens to be walking back out. He's done his shopping, purchasing tools he'll need to start working on building a boat, and now he's ready to head back home. Unfortunately, he doesn't see Angelo come in until it's almost too late to dodge.]

Whoa!

[He stumbles back a step, nearly dropping his bags, but when he looks at who he almost ran into, his expression lights up.]

Oh, hey Trunks! What're you doing here?

[Does Trunks's hair seem paler today? Huh, must be a trick of the light.]

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo turns his head quickly to look at Lloyd with a look of confusion as his eyes grow wide. And when he speaks, Lloyd will tell his voice is very different from Trunks' as it's quite British sounding.]

...Did you refer to me as being a part of a tree just now?

1/2

[redcladidealist]

[Indeed, Lloyd might not know what a British accent is, but even he can tell that something is off. He stares back at Angelo in equal confusion.]

Huh? But I-

[redcladidealist]

[Then comprehension seems to dawn, wiping the confusion away.]

Oh, I get it. You're making a joke! I guess I hadn't thought about it like that before. Hey, what if I called you Short instead? Because, you know, Trunks Brief.

[beauchevalier]

[He usually finds puns to be amusing, but this boy seems to actually believe he's someone named Trunks. Then again, maybe this could make for some fun after all now that he thinks about it.]

Ah yes of course, I'm making a joke! Wasn't it hilarious? And no no, calling me Trunks is perfectly fine. How are you today, um... I seem to have forgotten your name, what was it again?

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's smile falls away at the question. Trunks forgot his name? But they'd known each other long enough...]

Trunks, are you feeling all right? Your voice sounds kind of funny.

[And you forgot his name.]

It's me. Lloyd. Don't you remember?

[beauchevalier]

[Angelo was enjoying this way more than he should be, but he wanted to keep this little prank going for a bit longer.]

Oh my apologizes Lloyd, my head has been hazy to the point where I can't remember certain things because of how ill I've been. As for my voice, it's because of my illness as well. Though now that we're together, how about we go to one of the local restaurants? I'm absolutely starving.
