Julia catches the soda... nice reflexes, which she definitely didn't have when she was just a human. "Ooh cool, Sierra Mist! Thanks, Couric."

"Ey." Couric said simply, referencing a certain person from a certain show...only without the jute box. But meh, that'd be too ridiculous.
"I just realized...If Pickle keeps powering up like that, he'll be exhausted when someone actually shows up." Couric pointed at Nai.

Julia pops open her can, and looks toward Nai, saying... "Nah, he can handle himself... somehow... it's not like he's using some crazy transformation or something that drains him every second or something..." Not realizing she just referenced changelings.

"But..." Couric sighed and decided not to further pursue the matter, shrugging and leaning back.
"Whatever...Let's just hope people actually start showing up or we three might have to run in there and deal with things!"

Julia shudders a little bit at the thought of going in as such a small group like that... "We'd probably never have enough people if that guy's as strong as you say he is..."

"Heh. Strong he may be, but I'll kick his ass when the time comes. Don't worry about that." Couric replied, coming off as a bit arrogant, though...he truly seemed to believe that everything might just end up alright and no one would die.

Julia smiles, and says... "Well I hope that's true. I really don't know what I'd do if you or Gozu died... I've dealt with too many deaths that should never have happened..."

"Then we'll just have to make sure no one dies by beating that guy before he has the chance." Couric had not told Julia that the man that had shown himself last night mentioned that he was only at his base level fo power, meaning that he had held back a large portion of his strength when he had come to meet them.

Julia feels her hopes raise, as she nods her head agreeing with Couric... "I'm not sure what I can do, but I know I'll help all I can!"

"I'm sure ya will, Julia." Couric smiled, only to realize something that should have been extremely obvious from the first time he met Julia.
"Even you're taller than me!?" He exclaimed, a sweatdrop rolling down the back of his head.

Julia giggles a little, and after another sip of Sierra Mist, she responds... "Well, yeah... I'm 18, so it's only natural I'm taller than someone your age... hey wait, how old are you, Couric?"
|

Post by unholylssj on May 27, 2009 16:50:01 GMT -5
Couric looked genuinely surprised when Julia asked how old he was, having nearly forgotten his own age since it wasn't something he usually brought up in conversation. Memory of the fact hit him upside the head like a brick, eyes widening a bit.
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot. I'm fourteen."

"See. Now I bet you'll be taller than me when you're older... but for now, you're shorter... so don't worry, it won't last forever." She takes another sip of soda.

"Taller than you, huh? Maybe I'll even be taller than Gozu." Couric laughed, folding his arms behind his head, his tail holding his soda in place while he floated above the ground instead of sitting on the furry appendage.

Julia takes another sip, but then pauses... "Hey Couric... what exactly does it feel like when you sense somebody else's ki...?"

"Well...to be completely honest..." Couric began, trying to think of the right words to explain this. He looked up towards the sky as if searching for some hint, only to realize it on his own and look back towards the android.
"It's like...they're right next to you, but they're not. You can feel their presence, but they could be anywhere else in the world."

"Uh-huh..." Julia takes this in, and thinks about it, before saying... "Well... I don't think that's how it's gonna be for me..." She blinks.

"Huh? You don't think the ability to sense'll work out like that for you?" Couric asked, a bit confused. And then he remembered that she was an android and that would probably be the case when she gained the ability to.

"Yeah... watch..." She looks at Couric, and says... "One one one six seven." She then smirks, waiting for him to understand what just happened.

Couric blinked, obviously not getting what she meant just yet...until he remembered how he had said that she would probably sense in numbers or something like that.
"Eh!? You figured out how to sense energy or something!?"

"I sure did... I can even tell you mine..." She pauses, but then looks a little upset... "One zero... five... zero one...? You're way stronger than me..."

"Eh? Neat." Couric chuckled, ego inflating ever so slightly. He guessed that Julia's abilities had been drastically changed in comparison to a normal humans, pausing as he recalled something he had seen on Vegeta.
"I wonder what your sensing ability would say about that guy."

Julia doesn't understand who Couric's talking about... "What guy?"

Post by unholylssj on May 27, 2009 17:43:46 GMT -5
"The guy who showed up. The one who sent the Generals out to take over the world." Couric reminded her, a bit surprised that she hadn't been able to figure that out sooner. Then again, he was also wondering how exactly the man had managed to stay hidden for so long.

"Oh..." Julia looks down at the ground, going a little pale for a second... "I'm a little afraid to find out, to be honest..."

Couric frowned, realizing that Julia was already a bit worried about how the fight would turn out...But if she was truly serious about joining them in the attack on the base, he figured that he should probably tell her the truth.
"Julia...You're really coming, right...?"

Post by Katatonia on May 27, 2009 17:55:07 GMT -5
Julia nods her head slowly... "Yep... I may not be all that strong compared to someone like you... but I wanna help... it's the least I can do..." She's a good person.

"Alright...then I suppose I better tell you one hundred percent of what happened." Couric replied, closing his eyes and clearing his throat.
"When that guy came out, he definitely showed off a level of strength beyond anyone else on the planet...but when Nai and I spoke to him, he said that that was only his base level of strength..."

Julia nods her head, still pale-faced... "Yeah... I think I understand that... but I can help..."

"Alright...as long as you know." Couric looked up towards the skies, showing the slightest bit of doubt in his expression for a second or two.
"We're definitely gonna need all the power in the world to beat this guy...There's no doubt about that at all."
