Shu had all sorts of thoughts running through his head along with all of the confusion that he was supposed to be getting over from when he was sleeping. Even if he couldn’t remember much from his dream it was still bugging him considerably, probably giving him the negative thoughts. He was woken up in the middle of his dreams so it was probably still lingering, but he didn’t know how to combat it. Rubbing his eyes slowly he let out a sigh, slowly looking up at Takeshi with a little smile he raised his shoulders when Takeshi ruffled his hair. He didn’t know if he should care about what his father thought about him or not, he really didn’t understand Saiyan culture or if the father was supposed to not care about his children but it seemed to be the case. “Ooh, I guess! I just don’t know why he doesn’t like you or me. I don’t know what Saiyans think at all…” He sighed, pulling at his shirt a little. He really wanted to know where his place was in the universe and if it wasn’t with the Saiyans or the Humans then he had no idea where he was supposed to belong. He didn’t belong to his own clan either, what with them all not liking him. Sighing lightly, Shu looked back up to Takeshi, staring at him for a moment before giving a nod, looking like he was having a hard time getting around that statement. "Okay, I'll try! People like me! Your brother and friend of friends…ooh, it can be hard sometimes. Didn’t have to think about it so much before…”
T’charrl just needed to completely stop the ship now that it was stabilised and anchored, easy enough compared to how it had to start up and how much he had to concentrate to drive it. He really did wonder what made this thing work and was curious about its possible duration when flying to further away places, whether it could even fly around the world in one go. That would be something, especially when his kind didn’t travel all that far between clans and cities. It was always very difficult to travel and usually involved months of planning in advance, but even then his race wasn’t heavily populating the planet like the Humans seemed to back on Earth. Sighing once it finally landed he turned everything off, his claws going for his crutches immediately so he could lean on them. Turning to the musician he smiled a little, shaking his head. “Can’t say I’m very strong, especially right now…but, uhh, yeah. Uhh, you sure you’ll be alright going to the city yourself from here? They might get suspicious”. Certainly in a position to wonder whether the musician would become a suspect over the appearance of the airship it was just his luck that Haku decided to offer an escort, turning to him before nodding. “Uhh, sure. Yeah. Just don’t be mean to them. We’ll just wait here. Still not really sure how to lock this thing so nobody can take it…”

I'll certainly be able to post tomorrow. Been busy all night but that's great to know o/ I'll certainly try and see if I can find the others.
Shu felt confused over Takeshi’s claims, finding the use of the word ‘secret’ not being the same as ‘hidden’ to be strange and confusing. He didn’t know whether he was supposed to think that it was hidden away or purposely done so to keep people from going there, but the again he didn’t listen to what the city was like and did wonder if they were scared of bad things happening or something else attacking them. It was such a curious thing but he wasn’t going to pry too much when he had more to worry over. “Ooh, so it’s safe down there? No bad things? I hope they have food for me. I’d like that!” Getting all excited over the thought of food he continued to stare down at the trees, squeaking when Takeshi questioned his living standards when he was out in the wilds. He didn’t think it was a big deal, even if it was hard at times. “Well…yeah! Yeah, also sticks…you know, for keeping leaves together!” he spoke, bouncing on his toes, “It was hard. Sometimes not feel very well because no fur…but now I have fur! Sort of. Miss Yumi thinks it’s cute…but not sure why Father did that to me. Maybe he thinks it cute too? I don’t think he does. I’m so confused. I don’t know what I am supposed to be…”
T’charrl had every reason to worry over the machine being stolen, especially when there was so many people out there trying to get him for what he did to the General. He still didn’t understand how anybody could follow that man, especially now that he was completely debilitated and defeated. It wouldn’t be too hard to believe that there was even some people out in this city who knew him and wanted him gone. He was dangerous in these people’s eyes and they’d do anything to get rid of him, even follow him to different kingdoms if they had to. Slowing the airship down he carefully tried to get it to go lower, hoping it would behave while he tried to land the machine. “It’s not so much it being a problem here than it is possibly following me”, he sighed, staring down at the control panel as he tried to stabilise the airship, “I’m not exactly liked by a lot of people. There may be, uhh…’trouble’ following me”. Getting the airship to stabilise in the air he let out a sigh, slowly dropping the anchor. It was all he could do for now until the guards came to see who they were, but that wasn’t a big concern of his. “I don’t know how they’ll fix it if any damage is made, but I’m sure you’re telling the truth and I will be safe. I just-…I guess I’ve had to be cautious my entire life and even when I know I’m safe, I still get nervous. I hope that’s understandable…even if it is embarrassing…”
Shu didn’t know what to think of the area but he really did like all the trees, feeling fairly at home even though it was a completely foreign world. If these trees were a home to someone then that made him feel fairly happy by default, but he didn’t like how high he still was and did want to get down from the airship and get among the trees. It would make him feel a lot better automatically if he was on the ground where the trees were rather than in the air like this. Squeaking as he pulled back away from the edge he looked up at Takeshi, tilting his head curiously. “Secret city? Ooh, very secret. No tell anyone”, he muttered, looking back down at the trees. He couldn’t see anything so it was definitely a secret, making Shu smile at the thought that there were many people down there. Bouncing on his toes he kept his fists close to his chest, looking to Takeshi curiously when he asked him a strange question. “Ooh? Got leaves, made bed in trees”, he spoke, making patting gestures in front of him, “When it rain, go into middle of treetop with many branches! Big leaves for cover, move under lots of branches and leaves…ooh, it lasted a long time or until attack! It was nice, but wet and frightening…”
T’charrl wasn’t sure how he would handle the landing, especially when he wasn’t going to get it right the first time. Everyone was going to be nervous while he tried to land, even if he knew how to do it after being told. He had been going over in his mind how to do it and trying to think it through the entire time he was flying, but that didn’t mean he was going to be able to nail it first time round. “Uhh, if you are so sure. I mean…strange vehicles would get looked at by someone and that someone might have some strange interest in them that I don’t wish they’d have”, he sighed, feeling doubtful but trying not to suggest that he saw everyone in a negative light. He had a hard time trusting outsiders but that was natural to him, especially when he had been hunted for so long. Pulling the airship’s controls he slowly tried to manoeuvre around to the field, getting ready to shut everything off and drop the anchor seeing how there was nobody down there. “They might already be on their way so maybe we should wait…get a proper escort too”, he sighed, finding this all difficult to concentrate on while trying to make a decision like that, “Think they’ll be kind since we have new technology? If this returns with holes in it, I’m going to be in all sorts of trouble…”
Shu didn’t know what was going on or whether he was actually awake but things were definitely different, a numb feeling in his legs gradually disappearing as he regained his ability to walk. He was really worried that he was still asleep and that Takeshi was part of his dream, thankfully he wasn’t and nothing bad was going to happen to him too. Yawning into his arm he tried to wake up some more, looking up to Takeshi with some mild confusion, “Ooh, really…? So nothing bad…? That’s good, I was scared for a second…” He didn’t know what he had to be scared of but it was definitely an aftershock from his unwanted nap. He didn't even know what happened in his dream to give him such a reaction, but he was going to have to forget about it if he was going to recover. Giving his tail a squeeze he gave a smile, not feeling completely sure about his location either. “The King guy? I think I remember that”, he nodded, looking to the railings curiously all while feeling a little worried that he might fall down. Watching Takeshi curiously he tilted his head, slowly moving off his seat and wandered over towards Takeshi, keeping close to him as if afraid that he might fall. Staring down over the edge he gazed curiously at the trees and grass, finding it completely fascinating how different they all were compared to where T’charrl lived. “Ooh! Colours! More colours! Where the buildings? Those trees are funny. Why are they a funny colour?”
T’charrl didn’t have a clue to where he was supposed to land or whether he was anywhere near the palace itself. He didn’t want the airship to get damaged while he was away speaking to the King so it was vital that he got it settled somewhere where he could get to it quickly. It would be disastrous if he couldn’t look after the ship, especially when it was his people’s first one. Looking around for a possible landing place he frowned when he couldn’t see anything resembling a palace, looking to Haku to see if he could see anything. Didn’t sound as if Haku knew where to land either, frowning a little when he didn’t find anything either. Frowning at the musician’s answer he looked down again to try and see it himself. He didn’t know what he was talking about but if there was something down there then he had to take his word for it. Looking around curiously he gasped when the musician immediately proclaimed where to land, looking to the field. “Uhh, okay. I suppose I should risk it. Mother would kill me if someone stole this…” Spinning the airship around he headed it off towards the field, trying to slow down the airship. “Okay…well, hopefully they don’t think you’re lying. I’m not exactly dressed in anything to say I’m a Prince. Just…hold on a minute, I’ve got to try and get this thing positioned correctly…”
Shu wasn’t able to keep awake throughout the trip and was out like a light throughout the majority of the trip. He was completely out cold and remained all curled up, twitching and groaning every so often. He would hold his tail sometimes and rub his feet together, certainly appearing restless yet in deep slumber. To be able to nap like this was rare for Shu but he certainly needed it, his mind unable to rest under his own command. Remaining all curled up even after Takeshi moved him, he let out a little squeak when Takeshi shook him, his eyes closing tighter for a moment as Takeshi poked his nose. Groaning lightly he curled up tighter, remaining asleep until Takeshi poked his nose again, gasping as he woke up suddenly. Squeaking as he flinched awake he pulled back, looking around hastily before realising it was Takeshi who did that. Staring up at him he squeezed at his tail, trying to focus his eyes on him as he woke up some more. “Ooh, what happened…? Were we going to play…?” he asked up, giving his eyes a rub, “Where are we…? I didn’t mean to close my eyes, really…”
T’charrl had calmed a little by the time the musician finished his music but he still had to deal with the stresses that were to come. He didn’t know what he was supposed to do when he got there other than the reverse of what he did to lift off. He needed to find somewhere to land the machine and could only hope there was somewhere that might be pretty obvious, but upon seeing the kingdom it was very difficult to see anywhere that might be a good landing spot. They certainly took advantage of the trees this time round and seeing how they were everywhere he couldn’t tell where he might be able to land. He didn’t have a great vantage point either considering where he was standing, especially when he didn’t have someone who knew the area well enough to help him land. Looking to the musician he frowned a bit at his reaction, not getting a very good answer to what he was needing. Hearing him, it didn’t sound like he knew where to land either, or maybe he didn’t care too much and just wanted to do what any other passenger would do. Sighing lightly he looked to the console for any clue, frowning when Haku decided to ask him something that wasn’t particularly helpful to him. “I remember…but I can’t see anywhere to land”, he spoke, frowning as he looked around, “I can’t see very well and there’s no point on stopping too far away from the King’s palace. Can you see where the King might stay at all? It’ll look like a largest building, probably a decorated garden of some sorts too…”
T’charrl didn’t know if he was completely confident with doing all of this himself with nobody to guide him along the way, not even someone to show him where he was going while he was concentrating on this. He didn’t have any help and it made him pretty nervous. While he didn’t know if this was going to be successful he continued to focus on the bad thoughts without meaning to, worried that he was going to end up destroying this machine and embarrassing his mother and father. It was a big task for someone who hadn’t even got over what happened to him and was still reeling in negativity and thoughts of failure. It wasn’t pleasant at all when he had no one he could speak to about it, at least not yet when he hadn’t found anyone who knew what he was going through. Trying to keep up with his own thoughts was proving difficult and even more so to drop them whenever they were negative. Sighing lightly he gasped when the musician decided to play some music, looking back to him quickly as if surprised by the fact he could even do that. He was so out of tune with the world that even that surprised him, letting out a sigh as he decided to detach the negative thoughts and try to keep focused on the music. It was fairly hard to keep calm by himself so the music should hopefully help, probably just the thing he needed too.
Shu didn’t like being all high strung and confused like this, but he was fairly tired too. He was a little upset with himself for getting like this and being unable to sleep properly over a few bad memories, even if he had been under Saiyan lockdown for a very long time. They had done all sorts of bad things to him and even tried to bring out the worst in him, certainly managing to upset him greatly. Feeling nervous he kept his head low, twiddling his fingers anxiously. “I guess so…maybe still ask Friend T’charrl for bad things too that might be mean”, he sighed, rubbing his eyes, “I’m not cranky…at least. It hard to sleep, not sure how to sleep. Tag sounds really hard…” He was definitely anxious but the longer he sat there the more tired he was feeling, especially now that a strange melody was playing. Looking to see where it was coming from he saw the musician playing his instrument, staring at him tiredly before he slowly rubbed his eyes, trying to keep them open essentially so that he didn’t have to sleep. He was beginning to fail gradually, his eyes and head getting heavier. Finding it generally hard to keep focused on Takeshi talking he slowly nodded forward, trying hard to keep awake but finding it near impossible as the music continued to play.
We should discuss things!
So everything's safe for posting again? Does this PM system even function properly...
So everything was going to go wrong; first will be the storm, but right after that they would then fall out of the sky after they try to escape the tearing up of the ship. His kind weren’t very good in storms and avoided flying when they happened so the musician and himself would probably be in trouble, especially when he didn’t feel confident in using his Ki to fly in front of strangers. With the airship pushing up and his fear rising he tried to keep it moving and hope for the best and only hope that Katas was just trying to scare him. If he got hit by strong wind then he didn’t know what he would do. Levelling out the airship he let out a sigh, trying to keep calm as well as keep his balance on his crutches. Things seemed to be going well and this wasn’t too hard so far, at least when he put his worries aside for something other than crashing and burning. Too much was on his mind now along with everything else that was already bothering him so it was easily going to be a very tense trip despite the reassurance that the King was very pleasant.
Shu was not at all relaxed and was stressing out quite hard, but as Takeshi took him and placed him on his lap he looked to him curiously. He didn’t know what he was supposed to feel but ‘calm’ came to mind, his tail curling around as if trying to take advantage of this moment of comfort. The airship had sprung to life by now and Shu was quick to feel fairly scared, grabbing hold of his tail as even Takeshi seemed to have an odd moment of worry for some reason. Feeling a little tense he raised his shoulders when Takeshi gave him a pat, his eyes going up to him curiously before he frowned. “How can you be so sure?” They hadn’t found water yet and if the Kaesstrians were already hardy then there must’ve been a lot of dangerous creatures out there. It was something he learned from growing up in the wild himself and these guys certainly had a lot of nature all around them. Looking to Takeshi he frowned a little, sighing and looking away as he rubbed his eye. “I guess so…I mean, Friend T’charrl is guiding us, right? Keep us safe…ooh, why am I scared of everything…”
T’charrl was sure he’d get the hang of it eventually and take-off was probably the hardest part of the journey, but not trying to think of the actual landing itself. If it was going to be shutting it off and dropping the anchor then everything should be fine, but if the airship required to be stationed on the ground then he was probably going to have some trouble with it. He had no idea whether they were to fly down and keep the ship stationary or actually land the thing while doing the reverse of what he was doing just now. Frowning a little he looked to Katas, not exactly happy to know that it wasn’t weather-proof. “Well, unless you smell a storm coming then maybe don’t remind me of having to do that. I don’t even know what to do if a storm comes”, he frowned, shaking his head, “If a storm comes during this flight, I’m pretty sure the ship is doomed”.
With Katas giving him no further instructions he thought it was about time to get it finally flying. Looking to the wings quickly to make sure they were completely even he sighed, moving his claws to the steering and shifting a third arm over his crutch and to the throttle again. Glancing to Haku he frowned at his response, sighing lightly. “’Anymore’? I’m crouching…” he sighed, looking back to the controls, “I’ll call if I need any help, okay? If this airship is the future of my people then the first to pilot it should be a Kaesstrian”. He didn’t want to sound mean but Haku was the one who was throwing his negativity at everyone else just because he wasn’t happy. He should remind himself that they didn’t need to take him along with them, especially after he tried to kill him. Once Haku had gone off he turned his full attention back to the controls, giving the throttle a good push before pulling at the steering, trying to get the airship flying. Luckily for him it was correct as the machine roared into life and finally rose up, alerting T’charrl. He wasn’t used to controlling something this large nevermind one of the new vehicles his race had already gotten their hands on. Swinging the airship around as it rose up he looked to the console to direct him, hoping it was correct in its directions. Looking to the wings quickly to make sure they were alright he soon let out a groan, hoping they were supposed to move like that before he pushed forward, setting it on its way.
Shu didn’t want to sleep, that was the only problem. His mind would still go after him in a nasty way and he really didn’t want to have to be screaming on the ship and freaking his friend out. He wanted to be nice and quiet while his friend was driving so that maybe the trip would be nice and gentle. “Ooh, but what if bad things happen…?” he muttered, giving his eyes a quick rub, “Maybe like Nimbus…ooh, but it’s big and flat and not fluffy…” He didn’t know what to do about all of that or whether things would change just because he thought of something else while they were flying. Lowering his head a little he gasped when the airship jerked a little, signalling T’charrl’s take-off. If this was going to be like this every time he was worried about how exactly he might handle this flying stuff. Getting all nervous again he glanced to Takeshi, giving a quick nod, “M-Maybe, maybe…maybe there is water somewhere! Ooh, what if it’s not safe…? Everything’s so scary right now…”
