Viral didn’t really want to talk to Takeshi all that much if it meant he was going to start teasing him over what he was and how he was acting, but then again maybe Takeshi was going to be sensible enough and not try to bug him when his mind was even further from the right place. The energy surge he experienced on Kaesstra had messed with a lot of his head with his body feeling equally terrible so arguing with him wasn’t going to help him in any way at all. Finding the smell of coffee to wake him up pretty quickly he was fairly content with holding it to his face, trying to use it to keep him feeling awake enough to continue standing. Sipping the hot coffee momentarily he let out a sigh, looking to Yumi when she mentioned his name. He wasn’t really paying attention to what was being said at all, looking confused as he stared at her to try and understand what was being said. “Join in…what? What…” he muttered, eventually realising what was being said, “I’m not going to mess around like you all were doing…I am in constant pain. Let Yumi play around with you. I’ve been enough of a pain to her…” Going to take another sip of coffee he gasped when the blender was suddenly turned on, almost having a heart attack. He didn’t know what was at first but it scared him terribly, bringing back pretty nasty memories in an instant. “It’s like a bone saw…” he groaned as he lifted his coffee to his face again, giving it a sip with shaky hands. Everything was setting him off now but it didn’t help when he was seeing images everytime something happened now, even if it was just a blender.

Even if T’charrl wasn’t wholly familiar with Viral seeing his energy and feeling his emotions concerned him quite a lot. The guy appeared to be barely holding in the strange energy he had and he seemed distressed with most of the energy sitting around in his head. It must’ve been pretty painful like he said, probably trying to dominate his mind with different emotional states and personalities. It was a little strange to be able to see his energy, especially like this. Tilting his head a little as he observed the Beastman he too got a fright when the blender suddenly started up, looking to it immediately as if it was going to explode. Maybe it was a device his people would get when he was confident their version wouldn’t try and destroy itself with the fruit, but until then he was quite happy with nectar and roasts.

Sayomi was pleased that this request wasn’t going to take too much out of their journey, especially when he was concerned with how long their friend had to go before he went berserk. It was always going to be an issue when it came to artificial beings and these faults, even at no fault of the creator. It was a risk when it came to creating life and often a large prejudice placed on them to boot, damaging their mental state further. “Yes, of course. You’ll be pleased with how far the city has come since the attack so it would be worth the visit, I assure you”. She was pleased with the city’s progress, even the defences had been improved greatly. If there was anything she was pleased with it was the Uunoue citizens and their willingness to give them a home. Giving Vegeta a nod she gave a quick glance to another monitor. “I think he’s still sore about being beaten by Viral but that’s his own pride at fault. You take care of yourself down there and remember to keep in contact”.

The journey from Kaesstra to Namek had been surprisingly short compared to the rest of their journeys, the planet not too far from Kaesstra itself but still in the mysterious solar system that was occupied by multiple suns. The journey may had been quick but their need to get landed was still going to be one of urgency. Viral wasn’t doing all that great and was on the verge of becoming delirious when left on his own for too long, talking to himself often as if living out past scenarios. Being loaded into the smaller ship didn’t seem to help him much at first but as he entered the Namekian atmosphere he was feeling the strength of the solar energy without needing to be outside, the two suns acting as double the charge. He was sure he would be able to last mentally but his body was beginning to strain, his current mental state finding it difficult to hold off any further changes that may occur. Sitting next to Yumi on the way down he kept his gaze pointed to the floor, trying to feel out the local Dragonballs like he could do back on Earth. They should have a similar energy signature but it was definitely a case of guessing, hoping he could get a proper reading once he was outside and in sunlight. “I don’t feel them…at least, not where they are”, he spoke slowly, trying to concentrate on several things at once, “I just want out…”

Shu and T’charrl were naturally pretty excited but keeping it cool for the sake of Viral. T’charrl was definitely anticipating going to this planet but knew there was a high risk that their friend might lose it before they found what they needed. Shu was just excited to finally be helping Viral in a positive way, but he had been told he had to be careful while on this planet. There was something about a risk that might need to be assessed on there, whatever that meant. He hoped they would be able to fix whatever the problem was down there, hopefully helping their friend. Smiling up at Takeshi he kept his hands gripped to the seat belts, his feet on the edge of his chair as he tried to be really brave while flying in this vehicle. “This good…this good”, he spoke slowly, smiling nervously, “Are we nearly down, though…?”
