[ the ship rocks, quite literally, with the force of its newest arrival. and although he looks a little banged up — one arm is bandaged just above the elbow along with the hand of the other, and there's a series of bruises and scrapes along his shoulders, collarbone, and face — he's still very much a force to be reckoned with. a force that just landed on the deck near the bow of the ship without bothering to keep the force of his landing in check after circling the ship once to see if there was any way the damned thing could lift itself into the air.

sea fairing ships that only have sea fairing capabilities unsettle him, and this whole situation (a whole ten minutes into it) pisses him off. ]

I'm not doing this.

[ playing whatever game this is or entertaining some idiot's idea of their own personal love boat. (bulma's mother introduced him to syndicated television. fear it.)

the ship rocks — again, quite literally — as he launches himself back into the air with a sudden burst of power, taking off into the sunset as if he'll be able to find something off in the distance.

an hour and a half later, he returns, angrier than he was before. his landing is gentler this time, but a gentle landing doesn't take away from the fact that a man with the ability to fly just landed on the deck as if that's something one does every day.

he found nothing. nothing. what the fuck was this place!? ]

[Bulma had tried something similar a few hours ago with an airship she had in one of her capsules -- after finding no answers she's settled onto the deck where she's been trying to hack into some of the wiring in the ship and learn more about it.

She's a genius, if she can reprogram saiyan power readers she can do this.

But there's a rock to the boat and she looks up from where's stationed herself and it is one pissed off saiyan prince.

Lovely, of all the people from home he's the only one here with her. ]

I'm guessing you realized there's no land nearby, huh?

[saiyan]

[ he snorted, jutting his chin up towards the sky as he strolled towards her — slowly. walking at a normal, human-like pace was never a good sign with someone who existed without the qualms goku possessed when it came to carrying on as a saiyan should. why should he slow down when he was faster? it was their job to speed up, not his to slow down. ]

I seem to recall telling you to fix the gravity room, not replace your planet with another.

[ stranger things have happened lbr ]

[capsulecorp]

[That's...a little unnerving but Bulma doesn't let it visually bother her too much.]

You're not seriously trying to blame me for this, are you?

[saiyan]

Who else is there to blame? The Androids aren't scheduled to awaken for another few years!

[ he's angry. he needs somewhere to direct his anger and if it's not yelling at her, it's smashing the ship. the latter would do nobody any good. ]

[capsulecorp]

Well I don't know who's responsible for this, but isn't me. If it was, I would of found a way out of here by now.

[Because at least when Bulma gets herself into trouble she generally gets herself out of it too. ]

[saiyan]

[ he snorts, as if bulma's claims are completely asinine, but even he couldn't deny that there was truth in her statement. having been a resident of the capsule corporation while he trained for the arrival of the androids, he'd seen first hand the sort of things she and her father were capable of. they were impressive, though vegeta would be hard-pressed to tell her that. ]

If you haven't found it, then you should be working on it. [ tap tap tap ] Well, what are you waiting for?

[capsulecorp]

What do you think I'm trying to do? Rewire the boat for fun? [No. Well, okay maybe a little bit it's mostly to see what information she can glean from doing so. It's practical, okay!!!]

[saiyan]

[ a tilt of his head to side, as if he's seriously considering that she might — but it's all for show, because he (somehow) knows better than that. she's working on it to the best of her ability. she always seems to be doing that, contributing in her own way in spite of her inability to fight. ]

Perhaps.

[capsulecorp]

[Just because she doesn't fight the way most of her friends do doesn't mean Bulma can't help -- what she lacks in brawn she more than makes up with in brain.

She frowns, twitching a little in annoyance]

Well, I'm not. I don't want to be stuck here anymore than you do, trust me.

[saiyan]

Then get to work!

[ he points to an archway behind him, steps leading down to the deck below, as if there's some sort of ~secret laboratory~ lying in wait for her to work her mad science skills in. there isn't. vegeta's just impatient and unsettled, which generally leads to him being an asshole to everyone within a ten mile radius. ]

[capsulecorp]

[...Really? Where does he even expect her to go? Whatever, she grabs the few tools she had out and storms off in the direction he was pointing in.

Of all the people she could be stuck with here, it had to be him.]
