Viral had little to say on the matter of drinks or whether he liked them, instead simply sipping at the drink slowly without much of a second thought. He didn’t much care for the flavour, the texture wasn’t even a concern either as he sipped away, staring into the cup. For someone who was weary over eating and going out in public, Viral certainly seemed to be completely unfazed by it. Yumi was simply guiding him around various places while he followed; if it was up to him he would had never left the place at all and would had just carried on like normal or sat around in a daze. He wasn’t feeling himself or knew what to make of the world around him, instead simply sipping away at the drink he had been handed for a taste with his eyes staring downwards.

With little awareness of what was happening or what was being discussed, his attention to Takeshi was bare minimum right up until Takeshi stood up and made a movement towards him. Not in the least bit interested, Viral continued to sip away at the drink; however, with one poke to his nose he soon stopped, his eyes slowly looking up at Takeshi. He stared at him blankly, his cup still raised to his face but something almost appeared to trigger in his mind regarding what happened to him. Slowly moving the cup towards the table, he pressed it down while almost falling over with a gentle sway, catching himself pretty well. With a careful stare and a short blink, without warning Viral suddenly lunged at Takeshi, trying to bite down on his shoulder and tried to clamp down on it. Despite his mind not looking completely there, he still seemed to have a strange reaction when it came to being touched, quite obviously not liking it at all considering he went for the full aggression approach in a strange zombified manner.

Viral was weird when he was all mellow. It was like when Shu was totally out of it, this just didn't suit the guy. Yet it was kind of funny too, Takeshi had to see just how much he could get away with. After all it was a once in a life time chance to mess with Viral and not get clobbered for it, he couldn't pass it up. After just simply trying to annoy the Beastman by getting close he opted to poke his friend's nose, figuring invading his personal space like that would do it. Surprisingly there was very little response from that, he figured he'd have been cleaved in two the second he touched Viral. "Huh... So is he just like... Sleepy or something?" No sooner did the words leave his mouth did the Beastman suddenly lean forward, biting down on his shoulder. While not exactly painful it did startle Takeshi, and with a yelp he gave a little jump, stumbling around with the other man attached to him. "Ah, get him off, get him off!" he whined, trying to push his friend off to no avail. Hoping for some help from Yumi he looked over, his jaw dropping seeing her sitting at the table drinking smoothies. Groaning Takeshi went back to trying to shove Viral off, squirming around nervously. "Viral... No! Bad Beastman!"

Takeshi could handle Viral for the time being, Yumi wanted a smoothie. The crowd was relatively dispersed now, the curiosity of the brothers' large appetite wearing off pretty quickly. It helped too that Viral was currently munching on one of them, not many people wanted to have that happen to them either. It was harmless anyways, the Beastman was pretty much just playing by the looks of it. Or... It was as close to playful as Viral got, seeing as he hadn't torn up Takeshi. Smiling amused she gave her drink a healthy sip, setting it down before looking across at Shu and T'charrl. "So where did you guys go today, hm...?" she asked, raising an eyebrow curiously. "We tried calling Takeshi's house to see if you wanted to come by, but no one was there. Have you been in the city all day?" Why in the world was T'charrl wearing a bed sheet for that matter? He seemed to be sticking out like a sore thumb with that thing on, it just looked kind of silly. Sipping at her drink again Yumi smiled slightly, "Uh... Are you cold T'charrl? Is our planet that much cooler than yours?"

Viral still was aware, to a degree. Clamping down on Takeshi’s shoulder was an ideal response to his teasing and making him look like a child. Even with his lack of concern over everything and anything that might be going on around him, he still knew when he was being teased and biting Takeshi was definitely some method to sorting it out. Clamping down with little intention to let go, he moved around with Takeshi, pulling at his shoulder before noticing he was squirming around, his eyes going to his arm before he let go and decided to bite down on that, grabbing hold of it with his claws too. He seemed quite angry in his own dreamy way or maybe he was just doing it for the hell of it; either way, he didn’t appear to have much concern over what he was doing and was quite okay with trying to weakly rip Takeshi’s arm off.

While Shu had no idea what Viral was even doing with Takeshi, all he could do was stare at him before going back to his drink with his eyes still focused on his brother. While he didn’t know what to do, T’charrl just kind of stared at him curiously before going back to drinking his delicious smoothie. It was definitely very tasty and something he definitely needed, the sugar boost being the energy his kind benefited greatly from. Letting out a sigh, he smiled at Yumi as she spoke, letting his tongue sit in his drink as if it was just a straw, “We trained today!” he spoke happily, lifting his hands a little, “I was using Ki like you guys! And Shu was practising with his and we beat up Takeshi”. Maybe saying ‘beat up Takeshi’ was a little harsh, but that’s what it looked like from a spectator’s point of view. Smiling a little, he tilted his head before looking down at himself, giving the sheet a quick pull, “Oh! It is a little, but I’m not cold”, he spoke quickly before leaning towards her a little, lowering his tone, “I’m in disguise because I’m an alien”.

Takeshi didn't want to be anybody's snack, he was squirming like heck to get Viral to let go of him. Eventually the Beastman did, but the reprieve was very short lived as he felt teeth on his arm not too long after. Yelping he flailed his free arm, placing his hand on his friend's head and beginning to push frantically to get free. His shoulder was okay despite having been bit, the pressure behind the bite being pretty lax and only leaving him with red marks. It was the same deal with his arm, but it felt so weird having someone bite him. "Viral, it's not funny, let go!" the Saiyan whined, unsuccessfully getting his friend off. Giving a pleading look at Yumi he groaned when she seemed to be paying him absolutely no mind, being left to his own devices. Awkwardly he began to try and pull Viral off, first trying to loosen his bite before going to try and at least make him release his grip by moving his paws. For someone who was really out of it he was sure being aggressive.

"Ki training huh? I remember doing that a while ago. My first lessons were with this old man, Master Roshi. Kind of a pervert, but he was a good teacher." The whole 'beating up Takeshi' thing went on without a remark, if only because she could plainly see he was fine. Well, aside from being nommed on by Viral, but even that was just play. Sipping away cheerfully at her drink Yumi looked back over at T'charrl, questioning why he was all dressed up in a bed sheet. If being inconspicuous was his desired goal then he was sorely falling short of that. Unless someone thought he was a walking mattress it was pretty evident that he was trying to hide something. Might as well come out and just show himself, more heads were probably turning with him being hidden like that. "So...? There's loads of aliens on this planet," Yumi said, making it sound like no big deal because it really wasn't. "I don't know who told you to cover up but you'll be fine. Some people might freak, but there's always a few." Off to the side she heard Takeshi yelp again, and when she turned to see what the deal was she saw him scurrying away, hiding under a nearby table.

"Viral, stop trying to eat me!" Takeshi whined, pointing accusingly at the Beastman. What the heck was wrong with him? Looking down at his arm he pouted, seeing his shirt all torn and soggy from drool. The red marks weren't a big deal, they would be gone within moments, but now his clothes were nasty. Grumbling under his breath the Saiyan ripped off his now soiled shirt, tossing it into a nearby waste bin and frowning at his friend. "If you're hungry go have a smoothie or something, I'm not on the menu!"

Viral had fair clamped down on his arm this time instead with every intention to cause discomfort. It was as if he wanted to eat him but was putting in such a lack of strength into it that it was impossible to accomplish. Keeping a fair good grasp on him, he growled lowly as Takeshi wrestled with him, trying to get him to let go. After a few moments of wrestling and pulling back and forth, Viral was soon made to let go and Takeshi immediately scattered away and hiding away from him. Stumbling a little, he scratched his chest a little before shaking his head quickly, finding it a little confusing to what was happening. Rubbing his head slowly as he wandered back to the table, he slowly sat down before resting his head on his arm. He looked fairly tired not to mention he barely appeared to look remorseful over what he did to Takeshi, looking as if he forgot all about it pretty quickly since Takeshi was gone from his vision.

T’charrl was definitely pretty happy with himself, probably a little too happy over something they all knew how to do. Feeling pretty proud, he nodded and pulled the smoothie closer to him, his tongue not affecting his speech pattern, “Oh? A pervert? He seemed okay to me”, he spoke, trying to think about it and what might be something humans would point out a pervert as, “He helped me understand it and telling the difference between my power and my energy. I didn’t see anything bad in the man, at least not what I saw of him”. Feeling a little confused with what to feel, he suckled on his smoothie calmly, feeling pretty well settled. This energy would keep him going for a while, at least until he used it all up through intense training. Giving a quick glance up at Yumi again, he frowned slightly, looking around, “Umm, well…Takeshi said I look like a…like a ‘bug’ you people have on your planet and if I look like one, and if they see a giant one walking around I might freak some people out. I don’t want to upset anyone and scaring people. I’ve not seen other aliens yet…except some furry people…”

"Trust me T'charrl, he's pretty perverted. Only reason you don't know is because you're not a girl..." How many times had Yumi been groped by that lecherous old coot anyways? More than she cared to count, same as how many times she had swatted him for it. Still, for how bothersome he was the man was definitely a good teacher, she couldn't argue that. It was nice to hear that T'charrl was making some leeway with his training, she wondered why they had decided to go to Roshi after all. Granted he was a pretty good instructor, and seeing as none of them were girls there was plenty of reason to head there. "Maybe I'll go see him before we leave. It has been a while, and I have to admit I muss the old guy, if only a little." He was actually fairly dear to her, as were most of her teachers. Some day she was going to have to make it a point to travel around and pay them a visit, if she could find them. Geoffrey as well for that matter, now that she thought about it. Goodness knows what the orangutan was up to now. The bug comment made Yumi perk up a bit, looking over at her friend with a small frown. "Takeshi said that huh? Well you do look a bit like a moth I guess, but that's not a reason to hide yourself. Moths are nice little bugs, and unless you're afraid of bugs no one minds them. I seriously doubt people seeing you is going to cause any kind of big panic."

Takeshi peered out from under the table he had hidden beneath, relieved to see Viral having gone away. Maybe not he could sit down and not have to worry about being munched on. Climbing out from his hidey-hole the Saiyan sat down beside his brother, smiling nervously as he grabbed one of the remaining smoothies and began to sip away. Just why was the Beastman so totally out of it anyways? He knew they had started his sessions with that doctor to try and make him feel better, was something about that causing this? Weird, he didn't think Viral could be so mellowed out, it wasn't at all like how he normally was. At least he wasn't looking depressed anymore, that was a step in the right direction he supposed. "We're probably going to go back to Roshi's later, would you want to come with us?" he asked, bringing the conversation back. "I'm sure he'd love to see you again."

Yumi tossed her empty cup at Takeshi, rolling her eyes as he laughed at her expense. "I'm sure he would too, but if he tries touching me he's going in the ocean. I hope the old man can swim." A small smile crept across her lips even though she tried to be annoyed, she did want to go see the hermit again. That was probably part of the reason he was so dirty, he had no contact with anyone else and had some pent up... Stuff. Then again if he was in the city he may well just be a menace to society too, probably best he was out on his island then. Looking at Viral she bumped his shoulder gently, offering over the smoothie she had just taken. "Viral, want to meet master Roshi? I don't think you know him, it'll be... Well, interesting."

T’charrl scratched his chin, feeling a little puzzled over the predicament. Master Roshi didn’t know if he was male or female, in fact differences between a male and female Kaesstrian wasn’t something an alien would be able to understand apart from height and size. Females were a lot larger than the males while he was an exception just now, but there were other things that made them different too. Feeling a little confused by it all, he smiled a little and gave a nod, “I’ll soon understand your ways, but maybe I shouldn’t try to understand something like that”. He was fair enjoying himself despite everything that seemed to be coming to light, feeling refreshed by everything. The drinks were delicious and he couldn’t feel embarrassed about the sheet when it gave him just that little bit more security. Staring at Yumi as he drank up, he still felt a little sad that she confirmed it too. Shifting a little uncomfortably, he looked around at the other aliens around him, feeling a little nervous, “Ehhh I don’t know, I mean…I’m really big too, like real big compared to your kind and wouldn’t I be called out for some kind of monster? I’m just worried about people freaking out over me, I guess”.

Viral definitely had a short term memory thing going on, his mind wandering away as he drifted into a slumber. Leaning on his hand, he hardly seemed to be able to keep his mind together and was allowing it to settle in a pool of mud where he didn’t want to move from. Snoring a little as he rested his head on his hand, he gasped a little when he was bumped, his eyes glancing over to Yumi. He didn’t really know what she was saying or why she was saying such things, but he knew who Master Roshi was as if listening to their conversation and in response he let out a groan and tried to shove her at arm’s length. He wasn’t saying yes or no to it, his unwillingness to do anything and yet was being lead around just made him look submissive. Grabbing hold of the smoothie, he slowly inched it towards him and simply gave it a sniff before slowly sipping at it, any sort of protest hardly looking obvious.

Mmm... These smoothies were really yummy. Even though she had been on Earth much more recently Yumi still hadn't had one in quite a while, she was quite enjoying them. Being caught out in the middle of a sip she glanced up at T'charrl, listening to his worries curiously. "Ah... Tasty..." she mumbled, taking one last sip with a smile. "Then you don't have to take it off, no worries! You do what makes you comfortable, I just want you to know that people will warm up to you if you give them a chance." And those that didn't? Well they weren't worth the effort anyways, any half decent person would accept someone who didn't quite look like them. It was a waste of breath trying to make friends with everyone, no reason to worry oneself over it. Today was pretty open as far as plans went, if that wasn't evident enough in her and Viral's meandering around the city aimlessly. So maybe visiting Roshi would be a nice idea, she could go for a visit. Bringing the idea up to Viral she didn't exactly get a reply, unless a shove counted as one. Smiling amused Yumi watched as Viral went back to his smoothie, kind of enjoying how easy he was to handle today.

"Sure, we'll come along once we're done here. No way I'm letting these smoothies go to waste!" There were still a good few left after all, she couldn't walk away in good conscience knowing these were here. Grabbing herself a final one she started to nurse it gingerly, not wanting to miss single drop. Hopefully visiting the old hermit didn't turn out to be a total nightmare, she was already bracing herself for some overly friendly hugs from Roshi. She'd do her best to be polite about it, but there was only so much a girl could take before she had to smack someone. Looking across at Shu thoughtfully she reached under the table with her foot, giving his a playful kick before smiling. "Shu, are we still going to have a play day while we're here? I know you asked for one a while ago." So long as she wasn't preoccupied with Viral she wouldn't well mind playing with the little Saiyan. She could go for some good old fashioned goofing off, it would help relieve the stress of everything that had been going on as of late.

Viral couldn’t care less whether he wanted to go and see Roshi in the end, his mind not quite finding that level of annoyance and grouchiness to respond in a bad way. Despite not really caring for fruit much, he continued to drink the smoothie without much of a care in the world or even understanding why he was here. His mind was more than a little out there, he wasn’t used to what he was taking and it all had a pretty strong effect on him considering he had been off food and sleep for the longest time. His body was failing him before so this recovery stuff was definitely difficult, but his mind was finding it even harder when chemicals were so easily absorbed with greater effects than intended. Nursing over the smoothie, he soon let out a groan and stuck his elbow out in Yumi’s direction, “…This doesn’t even have milk in it…” he grumbled, pushing it away momentarily before pulling it back to himself again, “How do you sleep at night…”

Shu had a good meal with those smoothies, really enjoying them considering he missed them for so long. He loved them and enjoyed the flavours that came with them, filling him up and making him feel satisfied. Letting out a sigh, he looked over to T’charrl and Yumi, smiling a little before looking to Viral as he managed to draw attention to himself again by actually speaking. Shu was a little concerned, probably because he knew Viral wasn’t like this and there didn’t appear to be a reason for it to happen, “Did Mister Vegeta probe his brain like the Saiyans?” he asked, feeling a little concerned as he lowered his head, “He sounds weird…” Sure enough, he was distracted again by Yumi again after giving him a kick, his eyes quickly snapping to her as he tilted his head. Feeling a little confused at first, he soon smiled and bounced on his seat a little, “I wanna play! I wanna play!” he squeaked, feeling all energetic, “I really want to! Where will we go and play? In the stone jungle? Somewhere else? I hope Master Roshi doesn’t mind us doing that…I do miss playing…”

Yumi glanced over at Viral in surprise, he hadn't spoken the entire time they were out. Getting elbowed in the side she smiled faintly amused, prodding him back before rolling her eyes dramatically. "It's a smoothie, not a milkshake. Why would there be milk in it?" she teased, finishing off the last of her own drink. "And I sleep by lying down and closing my eyes, same as anyone else." Maybe she ought not to be joking around, but with Viral not seeming inherently depressed, or as much as he had been, she felt she could lighten up a little. Showing she was kidding with an apologetic smile she turned back to Shu, giving his leg a light kick to grab his attention. "Stone jungle...? Do you mean the city?" she asked, drawing her brow together, "We could play in the city, I guess. I was thinking maybe at Takeshi's house, or even Roshi's. The city isn't really the best place for us to be goofing around I don't think." Too many other people in the way, there was nowhere remotely private enough for them to enjoy themselves. Propping her elbows up on the table and laying her chin in her hands Yumi looked at Shu thoughtfully, quirking an eyebrow. "What do you want to play? Every try volleyball? Or maybe we can play hide and seek or something." It probably had to be a game a little kid liked, that seemed like the best bet.

"Hey... I thought we were going to play..." Takeshi said, pouting as he sulked a little. "Just because we're training doesn't mean we're not going to play afterwards." He'd had plenty of things in mind too. There was an amusement park in East City that he wanted to show his brother, that ought to be pretty fun. Plus they could always go to the beach and he could help Shu learn how to swim better. Or they could play a game of tag, which would be even better once the little guy got flying down. Meh, well it wasn't like Yumi was going to be able to play with him the entire time, he'd get his chance. Giving Shu a hopeful smile he leaned over, bumping his brother slightly in the shoulder, "How about we get heading back to Roshi's? I bet he's wondering where we went by now, seeing as we didn't tell him we were leaving and all." Heck, knowing the hermit he was passed out drunk anyways after binging on exercise tapes, ah well. "We can play too when we get back, if you want to Shu. Whatever you want to do."

Yumi rolled her eyes slightly, smirking as she stood up from her seat. "You're acting like I'm trying to steal him from you. Relax, I was just offering." It was kind of cute how defensive Takeshi got though, he really wanted to keep Shu around for himself. It was nice to see them being so close, she remembered how it had been initially and it was pretty far from the current situation. "I want to go see Master Roshi again, so I think we'll come along with you two, if Viral doesn't mind." He hadn't complained much at all yet, aside from the quip about smoothies. It was a safe bet he'd be fine with accompanying her to Kame House. Gathering up all of the empty cups Yumi carefully dumped them into a bin, barely stuffing them all down inside before dusting her hands off proudly. Smiling satisfied she went back to the table, looking down at Shu curiously. "Need someone to fly you to the island? I can carry you and Viral if you want."

Viral just stared at her, not looking as if he understood her one bit. It was so unusual for her to respond in that manner, especially to him and he recognised it. Half expecting some sort of answer to come out of her, he continued to give her a good staring at before he slowly looked away again and back to what was left of his drink. Feeling a little lost in his own world, lifting up his drink and tilting it back apparently meant he was consuming it all now, sipping it back gently until it was all gone. It wasn’t even alcoholic and managed to disappoint Viral for a moment, but quickly forgetting that problem he was soon shoving it forward and left to his own devices, his eyes wandering up and around as shapes and colours flowed by him unusually. He hadn’t seen so many colours before; everything appeared to be moving too with an after-glow effect following them. Staring at them with mild curiosity, he moved his hand out a little bit and tried to bat the strange movement, not getting very far with it by sitting down with the images being far off.

Shu was fair happy, feeling right at home with everyone relaxing and wanting to do all sorts of things with him. He wasn’t sure what he wanted to do, but knowing everyone else wanted to relax and do other things made him feel pretty content with everything. Frowning a little when he didn’t get an answer about Viral, he slowly moved a finger around on the desk with little care to what he was supposed to be thinking about, knowing it was their decision to what she wanted to do with him. Smiling, he looked back up at her and tilted his head, looking a little confused over her idea of play, “Volleyball? What that? Hide and seek? Hiding fun”, he nodded, looking back down at the table for a second before his eyes went to Takeshi.

It seemed everyone wanted to do something with him and he couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed by it all, not knowing what he was supposed to do to please them. T’charrl seemed fine, he probably had plans in mind considering he was just listening in out of curiosity. Looking between them all, he watched Yumi clean up the cups before he looked back to his brother, bouncing a little, “I want to play with everybody! Is it bad to? We could all play together! It’s okay, right?” Feeling a little confused through all of the requests, he bounced off his seat as he stared up at Yumi, “I have Nimbus! I’ll be fine, thank you Friend Yumi”, he smiled, giving a little nod before looking off to Viral; however, problem was Viral was no longer in his seat and was instead walking away with a stumble, almost coming close to swiping people from behind as he chased the blurry objects”.

"Volleyball is fun. It's... Well you hit a ball up in the air, over a net, and you try to make it land on the other team's side." That was about as simple as it could be explained, for Shu's case anyways. "Hide and seek is a lot easier to play, though I don't know how many spots there will be to hide at Roshi's house." Seeing paws swiping at air out of the corner of her eye Yumi glanced over confused, tilting her head seeing Viral swatting at the air. Looking around she couldn't spot a single thing that he might be after, was he really that out of it? Hm... Maybe bringing him out in public was a bad idea. "Of course you can play with everyone Shu, no one is going to make you pick favorites," she added, smiling kindly. Suddenly the bench felt a little bit lighter, Yumi wondered why. Looking at her side she saw the discernibly empty seat beside her, eyes widening in surprise as she got up and looked around confused. It was then she spotted the Beastman, having wandered off and currently chasing down some man and swatting at his back mindlessly. "Heh... If you'll excuse me!" she said hastily, running off after her friend.

Takeshi didn't know why he was worried so much, he knew Shu wouldn't up and leave him like that. Watching alongside his brother as Viral wandered off in what appeared a drunken haze the older boy climbed out of his seat, rubbing at his head confused. Definitely loopy, that guy, but he still didn't know why. On a whim he reached over and grabbed the last smoothie, the one the Beastman had been sipping from. Snipping at the contents through a crack in the lid he shrugged his shoulders, definitely no alcohol or anything in there. Had to be whatever medicine that doctor had him propped up on, was it supposed to do that? "Remind me never to let you take medicine..." Takeshi mumbled, watching as Yumi tried to drag their friend back over to the table. Well, if they were heading back then they might as well get a move on, drugged out Viral included! Smiling the Saiyan reached down and gave his sibling a pat on the back, sliding both his hands into his pockets as he started to walk off. "Wanna grab the suitcase buddy? We'll stop by the house on our way there and drop it off, how's that sound?"

Shu didn’t know where Viral was going, but he was more than happy to listen to what Yumi had to say about what these strange activities were, immediately finding something fun in them, “Oooh! Ball? Ball! Hit the ball! Net? Nets are bad, though…” he spoke, feeling a little unsure about that game; however, the other sounded pretty good too, “Ooohhh hide away all sneaky…I can do that! Never find me”. Slowly lowering himself behind the table, he looked over it when Yumi sure enough spotted Viral disappearing off into the crowd, coming close to attacking someone as they wandered away unnoticed. Watching her go off and away, he smiled nervously before looking to the table again, “I don’t have any favourites…I like everyone the same…”

Shu didn’t know what was wrong with Viral, but it was awfully reminiscent to what he had seen before from the Beastman when they were in captivity. Sometimes after certain treatments Viral would be pretty out of it and disorientated, almost the same as this but with less drooling and actual speaking sometimes. Frowning a little, he looked up to Takeshi, “Medicine? Oooohhh, that’s what’s wrong with him…?” he repeated, lowering a little, “So Mister Vegeta didn’t cut his head open and poke him?” Feeling a little less worried yet still concerned, he stood up straight again and quickly nodded, bouncing around, “Okay! Okay! Friend T’charrl can come too! I hope Mister Viral will be okay too; maybe he will like the beach…”

Viral was pretty distracted, trying to attack the strange glowing moving image that followed behind these people. It was as if he was grabbing their soul everytime and yet they didn’t seem to notice. Following this fellow away, he was unaware that Yumi was chasing after him up until she grabbed hold of him, his claws just missing the man as he was pulled away. Continuing to stare as he was dragged off, he slowly looked off towards her without a word or question to what she was doing. He didn’t need to be saved from that, he was doing just fine on his own. He didn’t know how to feel about everything that was happening around him or what he was doing, but he wasn’t capable of thinking about much and just seemed to go with her dragging him away, his feet almost dragging as he went away with her.

"I don't know if it's medicine. Can't think what else would do this to him though." Vegeta definitely wouldn't have done anything to hurt him, not in a million years. Not intentionally anyways, this had to be a side effect of that medicine. It was hard to know if it was actually working or not, he didn't seem outwardly upset though that didn't mean a whole lot. Takeshi snapped his attention over to Shu, eyes widening as he stared at his brother. "Cut his head open...? And... Poke him...?" Eugh, was that what scientists had done to them? He couldn't even begin to guess what the hell they were getting at, it just seemed too weird and wrong. Worriedly the older boy stepped closer to his brother, placing his hands on his head and parting his hair meticulously, looking for any scars. Not finding any Takeshi exhaled with relief, rubbing his neck with a sheepishly smile. "No cuts on your head... Good..." That was an unfortunate reminder that the little Saiyan probably needed to talk to someone as well. Would bringing him to that Ikura man be a good idea, or should his older brother just try to fix things? He was going to have to do something about it, they had more or less neglected Shu in favor of Viral's much more obvious problems. Deciding to move onto a more cheerful topic Takeshi started off down the street, not wanting to take off in the middle of the city. "T'charrl can come, and I bet Viral will like the beach. He is part shark after all, so maybe he'll want to swim?"

Viral was pretty much a sack of potatoes right now. A big, furry, clawed sack of potatoes. Yumi hadn't the faintest idea what he'd been up to but couldn't well leave him to treat random people as scratching posts. She was actually rather surprised with how submissive he was being, not getting so much as a single budge of resistance out of her friend as she dragged him along. "Okay Viral, we're going to Master Roshi's house with the others. Climb on my back so we can get going." If this was the stuff that Doctor Ikura had given Viral wasn't it supposed to wear off by now? Come to think of it she recalled the Beastman taking something this morning, and now it was nearly 6 in the evening. Just how long were these pills supposed to last for? Hopefully they wore off soon, it was becoming a little tricky to keep an eye on her friend like this. Setting off after the other three had Yumi kept a careful grip on the Beastman, soaring well over the trees as they raced out to the ocean. Maybe being out here away from people and to his own devices would let Viral relax a bit more. Or he could become incredibly bored and end up finding something to entertain himself... Which in this state might be a little risky.

Takeshi wasn't really all too surprised to find Roshi fast asleep. At least he was outside this time, they weren't all going to have to barge in. The man was sprawled out on his beach chair, a magazine of women laid out across his face and an empty mug loosely hanging from his fingertips over the side. They weren't even gone all that long, had he drank and just passed out? Closing his eyes and pinching his brow in exasperation he sighed, wondering if they should even bother waking him up. Yumi had wanted to see him after all, so he supposed they should. Wondering how to go about it Takeshi got an idea, smiling cheekily as he raised one finger and aimed it at the mug. Gathering a little bit of Ki he sent a tiny blast Roshi's way, hitting the mug and shattering it. That got the old man to sit up rather quickly, looking around awfully confused with a rosy red face. Either a sunburn or from drinking, hopefully not the latter.

"Hey, Master Roshi! We're back, and we've got visitors!" Probably throwing her under the bus, but Takeshi stepped to the side so the hermit could see Yumi. Had the old man ran any faster just then he would have turned the sand beneath his feet into glass. Stumbling as he was pushed out of the way the Saiyan smiled innocently, backing off a ways to avoid any impending smacks.

"Eh... Yumi? Oh my, it's nice to see you again my dear!" Roshi said cheerfully, chuckling as he picked up her hands and gave each a small kiss.

Yumi shuddered as her hands were kissed, forcing a strained, pleasant smile while trying to be polite. "Hello, Master Roshi, it's nice to see you- EEEP!" Out of nowhere she felt a hand slap her behind, and immediately Yumi tensed up and backed away, just a bit. Biting back anger as she closed her eyes she kept the smile on her face, holding her own hands behind her back to refrain from slapping the old man. "Nice to see you too..."

"Hehehe... You look as pretty as the day we met! Glad to see you haven't changed!" Definitely drunk, otherwise he'd probably notice the distinct addition of feline ears on Yumi's head. Roshi was off in his own little world right now, not unlike the next person he was to see. Looking at Viral curiously the hermit shuffled over, raising an eyebrow as he got perhaps a little too close. "And who is this? Never seen you before, boy!"

Shu tilted his head, staring at Takeshi curiously before nodding, “Uh huh! Mister Viral got a lot of poking and he was all silly and drooly”, he spoke, rubbing his hands together a little nervously. He didn’t like a lot of the stuff that went on and Viral got the brunt of it, probably sparing himself because they didn’t want to damage the King’s son too much while Viral wasn’t the least bit related. Feeling a little lost in thought, he squeaked a little when he noticed Takeshi was looking through his hair, turning to look at him when he stopped, “Ooh? You grooming me?” he asked curiously, looking happy over the possibility, “Grooming Shu? I washed all nice and clean like you told me to, I didn’t hurt my head…” Feeling pretty happy now, he picked up the suitcase and waved it around casually before moving over to T’charrl, giving his arm a little tug, “Come, friend! I’m happy and you should be happy too!” Moving after Takeshi, he bounced along quite happily, keeping a tight hold of the money, “Shark? Swim? I remember you helping me to swim; my clan don’t know how to swim either, so I didn’t know how to swim and learning to swim was fun”.

Viral felt incredibly lazy, unable to find the strength to combat Yumi in his struggle to be independent and find out what was causing that strange imagery. For a while there he really did thought it was their spirits trying to leave them, but it seemed it wasn’t and he was right to investigate. He didn’t know what was happening to him or what was causing his mind to project such strange imagery, but otherwise he didn’t care because he wasn’t in the right mind to care. Looking slowly up to Yumi again, he sighed as he moved to hold onto her, not having any sort of care to what he looked like as he grasped his fingers around her shoulders and held on tight. Staring down once they finally took off, he took little notice of the road ahead and instead stared downwards at the passing colours and waves as they headed on off to wherever she had said they were heading.

Shu had decided to take Nimbus again as they headed on back to Roshi’s place, the suitcase having been dropped off at Takeshi’s house and T’charrl now not pretending to be a giant ghost. Finally arriving back at Kame House, Shu bounced off Nimbus and briefly shook himself with T’charrl landing not too far off either, both of them looking particularly refreshed after eating those smoothies. With Roshi looking completely out of it, Shu let out a squeal when the mug was shattered by Takeshi, feeling a little intimidated by the sudden noise. Moving off towards T’charrl, he stood close beside him with a frown on his face as Roshi finally woke up. Giving a little wave, he looked towards Yumi and Viral, hoping everything was going to be okay between Roshi and Viral.

Viral wasn’t sure what he was doing here, but of course he didn’t have much of a mind right now. He was very mellow and there was very little going through his mind despite knowing where he was and what he was doing here. Feeling pretty empty inside, he stood around with a gentle sway before his eyes went to Yumi and Roshi when Yumi let out a yelp. Not fully seeing what happened, he kept his eyes focused on the pair right up until Roshi approached him and stood right close to him. Staring at him a moment, he soon let out a low growl and grabbed hold of Roshi’s shirt before making an attempt to throw him away with a sudden aggressive toss with little care to whether he was old and possibly frail like he appeared.

Roshi really didn't know who this man was... Or did he? His head was so fuzzy right now he very well could and just not remember it. He had a pretty distinct look though, the hermit liked to thing he'd have remembered someone like this. Getting closer just in case it might somehow help him out the old man blinked when Viral growled, gasping and squirming around as his shirt was taken a hold of. Getting lifted off his feet Roshi was then promptly tossed, tumbling upside down and yelling in confusion as he tipped and went head first into the sand. Skidding a ways on impact he finally came to a rest when he ended up at the base of a tree, hitting against it before slumping down. For a second he sat there before finally trying to get himself free, plucking his head out from the sand and coughing a fair bit of it up. Spitting to rid himself of the taste he then turned around, looking at Viral surprised. That had certainly sobered him, now he was all sandy and still confused as to who the man was. Sitting down on his behind Roshi craned his neck, smacking either side of his head as grains of sand slipped out of each ear. "So who is he...? All I got from that was he's grumpy."

"He's probably grumpy because you touched my butt... Pervert..." Yumi retorted, frowning as she folded her arms over her chest. Only seeing a cheeky grin in response she sighed softly, giving a shake of her head. "And this is our friend, Viral. He really doesn't like perverts, so for your own sake I'd behave while we're here." Unless the hermit enjoyed being smacked around like that, then he could do whatever he wanted. Actually... No, even then she'd prefer he keep his hands off. Looking at Viral she frowned finding him still in quite the daze, really confused why he was like that still. Maybe they should call Vegeta, he'd know why. "May I use your phone, by the way? I need to make a call real quick." Nodding gratefully she excused herself from the others, hurrying on inside the house and after a bit of searching finding the phone. Dialing in Capsule Corp's number from memory she waited patiently as it rang, knowing he darn well should be there.

Takeshi watched the scene a bit curiously, almost breaking into a smile when Roshi got buried in the sand. Yep, their master had done exactly as he'd figured he would, predictable old pervert. It was a really bad idea speaking to Yumi like that around Viral, and certainly so was laying a hand on her in such a manner. If he wanted to keep himself in one piece the hermit would do well not to try that again. Watching Yumi wander off inside the house he wondered exactly what they ought to do now that they were here, figuring it was just a quick stop to say hello. They could train more, but the kind of training they were doing could be just as easily done at home. "Hey Shu...? Why'd we come here again...?" he mumbled, looking around. More training, but now that he was here he kind of didn't want to be. Or more precisely he didn't want to be here with Viral and Roshi most likely going to end up killing one another... More likely Viral killing Roshi if he couldn't learn to keep his hands to himself. Sighing softly Takeshi raised his hands, folding them behind his head as he looked over at Roshi, still speaking to Shu. "Do you want to train some more I guess? We can try making things go boom if you want."

Viral was pretty angry for that moment he had managed to toss Roshi, finding it too much to bare. Growling lowly as he watched Roshi bounce away and land in the sand, he drooped slightly before making a glance away. Looking off and away to his surroundings, he slightly swayed on the spot before gradually sitting down, grumbling as he did. He was still fairly spaced out with no depressing thoughts going through his mind, no bad memories pulling him down; of course, that meant there was generally nothing at all. He was dazed and confused for the most part, a little in the clouds with little to think about. The sand was soft around here, the grass too as it swayed gently in the breeze. There was nothing for him to think about all while his mind refused to keep itself together.

Shu didn’t know what to think about Roshi going flying like that, watching him bounce along after Viral tossed him. It was hard to protest against anything Viral did, especially when he seemed completely out of it and almost empty. Frowning a little, he looked up to Yumi as she wandered into the house, going for something called a phone by the sounds of it. Feeling curious, he stared at the house before his eyes snapped up to Takeshi, giving him a little smile as he bounced lightly on his toes, “Play and train! Less places to run here, more to do!” he spoke quickly, looking around, “Can train or try swimming or try flying or something else? Friend T’charrl wanted to come here a lot too”.

Feeling a little singled out in the moment, T’charrl shuffled his feet a little and moved back slightly. He didn’t know whether he was supposed to say something about that or just let it drift off, but he did have his own reasons for coming. He was far away from others here, even if Takeshi’s house was pretty secluded it didn’t feel secluded enough; besides, with all this water it actually felt like a challenge getting over here. He had managed a lot better than he did before over the water, he didn’t feel so tired either after having all those smoothies too, “U-Umm, I should try and train more to get on your level of Ki control, if I can even get there”, he spoke after a brief pause, looking around nervously, “I don’t want my power to be too unstable when I fight and we don’t have long on your planet, so I might as well…”

Leaving what they were going to do up to Shu was pretty fine with Takeshi. If he wanted to swim then fine, they could do that, or build sand castles for all he cared. By the sounds of it both he and T'charrl however were more than content with training than anything. Just as well, the more they practiced the sooner they'd master it. "Heh, alright, training it is." he chimed, giving a thumbs up. "You'll get to our level if you keep up the hard work T'charrl. Besides, we're really not all that strong." Modesty aside T'charrl was pretty strong in his own right, it was likely he actually didn't need to work all that much to match their power. Certainly not as he was now, he had tons of strength in this form. Once he changed back there was no telling how strong he might be, hopefully he didn't lose too much of this power in that process. Would be a darn shame if they had to train all over again once he went back to his old self. "Let's see... You guys got down finding your energy, and you can channel it pretty well..." Takeshi said, counting off with his fingers, "So that just leaves releasing energy. Unless you want to practice more on channeling it first, whatever you two wanna do."

That was some good news, Viral's medicine should wear off not too long from now. Evidently the nurse in charge of him had given him double prescription by accident, hence why he was in such a state. Even the regular prescription would have mellowed him out, according to Vegeta, but not nearly as much as two pills had. Poor Viral, he was probably beyond out of it right now, as if the last few hours hadn't been indication enough. Coming back outside she saw Shu, T'charrl and Takeshi all clumped together, looking rather excited about something. There was Viral, sitting over on the grass by himself not really looking... Well like much of anything. Frowning sympathetically she glanced at Roshi as he came over to her side, sighing softly. "He's been like this for a while... Depressed. This is actually the calmest I've seen him, and it's only because he's on medicine right now. We don't know what more to do for him."

"Depressed, hm...? Well that's no good, not at all..." He'd thought there was something curious about Viral, being spaced out on anti-depressants would explain it. What an unfortunate state to be in, Roshi wondered if it was preferable being numb rather than upset. Feeling quite empathetic the old man cleared his throat, looking up at Yumi politely. "If you'd allow me, I'd talk to him. I don't know what help I can be, but perhaps this old man can impart some wisdom to him." Getting the go-ahead from Yumi he smiled, nodding in turn before looking at the Beastman. Hopefully this time he didn't get tossed head over heels, he'd have to mind his distance. Walking over to join the other man Roshi took a seat on the grass a few meters from Viral, sitting cross legged with his hands in his lap. "Beautiful day, isn't it...?" he asked, smiling as he glanced up at the sky. "It's days like this that remind me why I live out here. The only thing that's more beautiful than women is nature at its finest."

Shu was happy to do what Takeshi wanted to do, but the guy always seemed so indecisive with what he wanted to do with him. He didn’t know how to make decisions when everything Takeshi did in his world was pretty foreign for him and he knew Takeshi didn’t like doing what he liked for fun. With no trees other than a few on the island and the house not looking too much like a climbing frame, he had to go with some of T’charrl’s desires and what he learned from Yumi. Tilting his head a little at Takeshi, he smiled and nodded quickly, bouncing on the spot, “Training! I believe in Friend T’charrl to get strong too”, he spoke quickly, giving Takeshi a quick look before giving a little nod, “Uh huh, we’re not very strong yet too…” Feeling the ups and downs of mood going through his system, he gave Takeshi a smile again, “I know how to release it…kind of…”

T’charrl was pretty confident in himself, but he still didn’t feel like he could fight with his Ki yet. He hoped he was able to do what they could do before they left the planet. Looking between Takeshi and Shu, he nodded quickly and lifted his hands to chest-height, “I hope I can do it, I really do”, he spoke quickly, his orbs glowing pretty quickly as he gathered energy, “I can get it really fast now! Isn’t this great? Your Master Roshi really helped me out a lot…but how do I use it? It’s the opposite of my power, I understand that…” He hoped things were going to go as planned this time, he didn’t want to cause a whole forest to sprout on this little island just because he couldn’t control himself.

Viral wasn’t sure what to think or feel right now, his eyes unable to focus on anything and yet he didn’t care. He was fine with feeling lost and by himself with nothing to bother him, the scenery doing nothing to offer him any sort of calm to get to that point. Staring out at absolutely nothing, he barely made any reaction to Roshi sitting down close to him and talking to him as he only lifted his head a little bit. Feeling completely out of it, he slowly rubbed his paws together, slowly staring down at them as if wondering why they were moving, “…Do I know you…” he muttered, slowly looking up, “Do I even care…”

So long as Shu and T'charrl were both willing to learn Takeshi would more than happily teach them. What he could at any rate, he was by no means the expert when it came to Ki, but he did know more than these two. By the sounds of it they were both more than ready to go on with their lessons, even if they weren't wholly confident. "You might not be very strong yet, but give it more practice and you will be," he said, trying to be supportive. "Besides, Ki isn't the only thing you get strength from. Plenty of people can be strong without it, Ki just happens to be pretty darn handy." Which was all the more reason for them to learn it, they could certainly make use of it in the coming battles. When all their enemies would be blasting off attacks comparable to a small bomb they really should be able to counter it with their own. "Releasing it is kind of like channeling it, only you don't stop it when it reaches a certain point. Like this..." Lifting one of his arms Takeshi extended his hand, holding it flat facing the ocean. Gathering a bit of Ki right in his hand into a ball he formed a relatively small blast before releasing it, sending it soaring out over the water as it exploded some few dozen meters away.

"You both know how to channel Ki, now you need to learn how to channel certain amounts. Since you can see Ki when it's outside, usually, you can kind of get an idea how much you're releasing." Turning back to Shu and T'charrl he held his hand, palm up, and gathered a little bit of Ki again. "Depending on how much you release and how concentrated you make the orb the stronger your blast will be. You can have something like this..." Takeshi pushed out more Ki, purposely making a rather large orb the size of a big beach ball. "Or this..." he added, shrinking it to something comparable to a basketball. It was definitely the trickiest part of their training, knowing how much to release and where. If their earlier progress said anything about these lessons though it was that they should get it fairly easily. "For starters, you two will just make little orbs. Hold your hands together like this," he kept one hand upside down and held the other over it, some 20 centimeters apart. "And form an orb between your two hands. If it helps only let energy come from one hand, then you're not putting out as much. When you make it big enough to fit in both hands stop moving your energy and concentrate on holding the ball as it is. Sound pretty easy?"

Roshi wasn't used to someone like Viral, both in regards to a Beastman and him being utterly out of it. While the hermit was all for talking to the young man he wasn't exactly sure how to approach it, seeing as he wasn't the most sociable being to begin with. Finally getting some recognition after taking a seat the old man smiled, "You don't know me, though that didn't stop you from tossing me like a coconut!" he laughed, gesturing to himself with his thumb. "The name is Roshi, I'm a pretty big deal you know. Trained Goku, his son and friends, and even these kids a bit. I happen to be quite the martial arts expert as well, heh heh." Plus he was a connoisseur of women, but considering Viral's reaction to him earlier, assuming it was over Yumi, he thought best to keep that to himself. "Anyway, what about you? I know your name is Viral, but what more is there to know? What haven't I been told yet, hm?"
