Bored Lombax is bored

Who: Ratchet [Open]
Location: All over
Time: February 2nd, all day long
Style: Whatever works for you, bb~
Status: Open

Ratchet had been here almost an entire month so far. One month, one curse, some new friends and at least one punk who he really didn't like. This place was calm enough, despite all the people and insanity he had heard of happening before he arrived. The fairies exploded, he confessed things he never wanted to, and a man looked like General Azimuth when he first saw him. Normally this might not affect him as badly as it was. Heck, he'd been stranded on strange planets before. But this time was different. He couldn't leave. He couldn't enjoy the freedom he had had for the passed five years. He had spent sixteen years trapped on Veldin. Sixteen years of wanting the freedom to leave a planet whenever he wanted to. And now it was taken form him all over again. That was not sitting will with him at all.

The boredom and antsy feeling in his gut were getting to him. He had to do something, anything; move, fight, snark at someone, blow something up. Which was why he was out in the city, wondering around aimlessly. He just had to get out of his apartment. He needed to do something or meet someone new. Or maybe run into someone he already did and let it go from there. He wasn't sure and he definitely wasn't picky.

((ooc: Alright so, put your location and rough time in the subject bar of the comment. For fun plot times I can be contracted via AIM @ tseutsumi . ^^ Pretty much anything goes. The Lombax is bored and lonely!

After being so incredibly bored that he was reduced to responding to the ramblings of lovesick teenage girls, Vegeta decided it was high time to get out.

Not that there was much to get out too. Grumbling, he wandered towards the collection of weird shops.

Girls and shopping. Vatheon was hell.

Ratchet walked down through the Nostalgia Nook, eying all the strange shops. This place could not get any stranger, or so the Lombax thought. He walked by one in particular and just stared at it.

"This place looks horrible. What is wrong with this city?"

"Everything," Vegeta huffed before glancing down at the little creature. How... fuzzy. He'd seen stranger, though. He nodded his head down to it (probably a him? it smelled male) by way of greeting. The prince also used that opportunity to turn on his scouter and try to find out just what the thing standing in front of him was, and if it could put up a decent fight. He really wanted another fight.

Ratchet chuckled and nodded. "Tell me about it." He nodded back and looked up at the tall...what he thought was a human. The scouter most likely could not identify species so it would come up unknown. As for power level, he wasn't much on his own but some power seemed to be resonating from him. Quite a bit. He may not he powerful but something he has certainly was.

"At least it's a short list of problems, right?"

Weapons. The creature probably had weapons of some sort. That tended to make for a boring fight, if the weapon could be knocked away it was all over. Still, a weapon powerful enough to register on his scouter? Maybe he'd finally found someone else who'd actually been in space. Talking could be worthwhile. He grunted in affirmation and curled his tail around his waist.

"This area is supposed to have things from other worlds, but it has nothing from any planet I've ever been to. Just a bunch of trash from uncivilized pit stops."

"Tell me about it. The tech here is lame, borderline backwater planet lame." The Lombax sighed and shook his head. "If there was a good shop here I might be able to find what I need to make a ship. But at this rate best thing I can do is maybe, and that's a slim maybe, upgrade my hoverboots."

The furry creature did manage a smile up at Vegeta. "The names Ratchet, by the way. Nice to meet someone who actually knows what the hell a galaxy is."

"Vegeta." He seemed vaguely amused at the statement about galaxies. "I think I actually saw an elf when I first arrived. This entire place is stuck in the last millenium. I don't think they even have a gravity room for training."

That last part there was probably the worst of all. He was going to deteriorate in this place, turn into a pile of useless flab.

Ratchet nodded and rolled his eyes. "I know! And without a hologram chamber I can't keep up target practice. And there aren't any super villains here that need their butts kicked. This place is boring as all hell."

Vegeta suddenly recalled that irritating guy with the monsters following him around mentioning that the coral healed people. Ratchet wants target practice, Vegeta wants training. One of the most basic forms of training for a Saiyan?

Getting hurt and then healing up.

He grinned at the lombax widely. "What if you had a willing target?"

Ratchet blinked and raised one of his brown eyebrows. "That depends on if I thought they'd survive or not. Never actually fired at someone who wasn't my enemy before. Why do you ask? You volunteering?"

"I am. Does your weapon have multiple settings?" He didn't expect it to have any non-combat settings, but something low wouldn't hurt him terribly - something for blowing a door open without destroying an entire structure, for example. He started to hover, ready to fly off if Ratchet indicated that it did.

Ratchet shook his head. "It doesn't. But I have this." He moved his hand and suddenly there was his Combusto Pistol. "It's the least lethal I've got. Fires lasers. Shouldn't hurt too much." He smirked up at Vegeta.

"Looks like you aren't human. So I'm a Lombax. What are you?"

"A Saiyan. The prince of the Saiyans." And with that, he flew up into the air, far enough away to make for decent target practice but not so far that he couldn't keep an eye on Ratchet. He wasn't going to try to dodge the first blow, he had to figure out how much this was going to hurt and what the range of the weapon was first.

Ratchet quickly raised his gun and fired the first laser. It came in fast and hard. Though when it hit, it didn't do too much. It would easily burn through clothing and burn the skin. Maybe even a little bleeding. But that was a normal laser, not a charged one. Though Ratchet was sure he was going to just use the uncharged variety for this one.

Vegeta grinned when he felt the sting of the laser. Good, it had decent speed and impact. The aim wasn't bad either, it hit him square on. He started to fly around, making himself a more difficult target. He was most likely far faster than any organic target Ratchet had faced before, but not impossible to hit. He didn't want to be impossible to hit, either!

Ratchet watched and waited. He was definitely must faster than any organic flying creature he had faced. But not robotic. He took aim and fired three shots, two slightly ahead of Vegeta and one behind. He was hoping of he tried to speed forward one would hit him or if he went back the last shot would get him.

It's the one from behind that gets Vegeta, brushing up against his tail. He's actually angry for a moment before remembering that he did volunteer for this.

This was good. The lombax could keep up with him. He started to vary his flight patterns more, behaving closer to how he would in an actual battle. Of course, he couldn't attempt to take cover behind any of the buildings or anything that would really give him an edge, but he didn't mind. The pain of being hit was good, it reminded his body to stay sharp.

And now he was getting harder. Good. He liked this himself too. He'd only fought a few enemies who moved this quickly or were this smart. The usual lackies didn't think this far ahead. He tried to picture Vegeta as Dr. Nefarious for a moment and opened fire. With the erratic movements he could only lob off a shot or two at his enemy. He fired again and again, trying to aim for where he thought Vegeta was going to go.

Only a handful of the shots hit, but they were good ones. Vegeta's rather deranged laughter echoed in the surrounding area as he zipped over Ratchet's head, continuing their game until his temper started to catch up with him about fifteen minutes and a lot of fun later. He wouldn't be able to play much longer without fighting back, that familiar rage was starting to bubble up inside him. The prince had no desire to hurt his new training buddy, so he flew out of range and took out his SFC, sending a text. Ratchet... there it was.

That was entertaining. I'll see you again, Ratchet.

Ratchet looked at his ammo count once he got the text. It wasn't bad but he was going to need to see if he could find more around here somewhere. At least his aim wasn't totally off. He smiled up at Vegeta and answered the text.

Thanks. This was fun. We should do it again sometime.

You just call him tall, bro? He likes that. =D

Yes I did. Ratchet is 5'1. Everyone is tall to him. XD

Poor Veggie is 5'3"-5'4" at this age, so he doesn't have to look up much!

Not much, but still has to. And his hair has to add at least two inches. XD

His hair adds like a FOOT.

XD True true.
