Couric grimaced, moving his hand from his face to support his chin, leaning forward as he rested his elbow upon his leg.
"Nai had been with us when we landed on Icer..." Couric began, preparing himself to say it.

"Oh...? Well that's good you had him to help... but why do you look so upset...?" She asks, not having thought of the obvious reason.

Couric took a deep breath and sighed, looking down towards the ground.
"He had insisted that I save up my energy to fight that guy while he took care of the guard watching the door...So while I taught Cajabe the fusion dance...Nai fought him. And just as Cajabe finished learning the damn thing, the entirety of the building where they had been fighting exploded and Nai's ki had vanished without a trace..."

Crossing his arms over his chest he would lean up against the side of what was considered the ring. I wonder when this is going to start for crying out loud.

"Oh..." ... "...I see..." She flops back on to her back, but with her arms spread out... and sighs... "So he died, huh? Looks like the guy who never really seemed like he was good or bad... turned out to be a hero in the end..."

"Yeah....If he hadn't have been there...I doubt I'd have had enough time to teach Cajabe the Fusion Dance and that general would've killed us both with ease..." Couric replied, deciding to lay back again, remembering just the sight of the building exploding. But he had forgotten something else...something that Nai had told him when Gozu first displayed that power of his...

"Wow... so he helped you stay alive, huh...? Now he's even more of a hero. Heh." She seems melancholic, but not upset.

"I should probably tell Gozu when I get the chance...He fought alongside Nai a few times, didn't he...?" Couric asked, having not been there when Gozu and Nai fought Roa or that Changeling on Namek.

"Well... when this is over and we've saved the Earth from exploding... we'll try to get all the Dragon Balls together... and how about... we wish him back?" She suggests... catching on to the idea behind the entire Dragon Ball story... if something bad happens, just wish it away.

Sighing to the fact of all of this waiting Tyson, he decieded to head over to tournament board and see who he was facing. Shen? Don't know this guy...

"Huh...? Wish him back...?" Couric asked, staring at Julia, obviously pretty skeptical. He had never heard of someone somehow coming back from the dead...nor did he know anyone who actually had. Of course, he had probably forgotten that iwas the Dragon Balls that had given Cajabe his immortality.

"Well... yeah... we can wish for anything we want, right? So... why not bring back all the people who've been killed since... the Future Army showed up... except, of course, the evil people in the future army and anyone working for that changeling your fusion killed. It's a wild idea, I know... but it would be a great way to undo all the damage that's been happening."

"I don't know if those things can, but if we could...yeah, that'd definitely be a lot of good." Couric returning his attention back to the sky above, spirits lifted a little now. Though, he did have a bit of a selfish wish to make if they did get the Dragon Balls at some point...one that he felt he needed to make.

"Honestly... I don't know what else I'd wish for... so I may as well make my wish as good as I can..." Then after a pause, she asks... "Hey Couric, mind me asking... do you know what you'd want to wish for?"

Post by unholylssj on Jul 6, 2009 12:09:33 GMT -5
"Eh...? What I'd wish for?" Couric asked, still looking up at the sky above, trying to decide whether or not to say it. But, he trusted Julia enough, so he might as well.
"Well...I kinda...wanted to wish for something that'd help with the 'other me' problem somehow..."

"Wow... that's a good wish... I'd make it for you if I ever had a spare wish for myself some day..." She means what she says, too. Also... here some comes random unwanted blushing.

"That so, huh." Couric muttered, a bit of a smirk on his face.
"Heh...He really must have been an asshole for you to not want him popping up." Couric chuckled.

"I think I may have said this before... but he and the Cajabastard would probably get along quite well if they decided not to be assholes to each other, unlike how they are to everyone else, for some reason..." At least evil Couric's not hurt her, though.

"You have once or twice."
"But...I do want to meet this other me before I even have a chance to make a wish like that...just to see what he's like with my own eyes." Couric just didn't know any way of making that possible.

"I've said this before, too... and I'll say it again... again... You really don't want to meet that guy. He's not very much of a morale boost... I'll tell you that..."

Post by unholylssj on Jul 6, 2009 12:31:54 GMT -5
"Yeah....But still...I want to meet him and maybe fight him if I can. Just to see what exactly the bastard's like." Couric repeated, mind set on finding some way to face the person who somehow gained control whenever he got angry enough.

"Well... if you really must..." She lets out a sigh. "But don't let him beat you, though... I don't think he'd be very nice to anyone he beat..."

"He'd probably kill me if I lost." Couric said simply, fairly certain of that without even knowing that 'Couric'. And even as he said that, he barely seemed bothered by the idea that something within his subconscious could possibly kill him if he faced it.

Julia grimaces a little, and goes silent for a short while... but then to lighten the mood, she eventually asks... "Would that be considered as suicide?"

Couric blinked, looking at Julia, expression completely blank.
"I...have no idea..." The teen replied, bringing a hand up to his chin as he thought about it. That's right...He was actually wondering whether or not being killed by an alternate personality was suicide.

"It's an interesting quesiton, isn't it? Heh." Julia, the philosopher, lays there on her back, with her arms folded behind her head, staring at the sky.

"Technically, from what you've told me and from the fact that I have no memory of the events that occur while 'he' is in control, he could technically be considered a different entity in comparison to myself. However, because we both share the same body and I don't know the conditions of his existence, be it a result of some trauma suffered during my childhood or a facet of my personality that somehow gained individuality, he could technically be considered me. But, I won't be able to find out the answer to this since I know very little about myself during my early childhood."
Couric blinked.

Julia blinked... "Hm." And that was all she said. Someone really needed to show up and give Couric a wake-up call to his origins... unfortunately that someone is too young to speak right now.

"Yup." Couric suddenly dug through his pocket and tossed something towards Julia, having remembered that he had put something in his pocket a few days earlier. It was a can of Sierra Mist that was somehow still ice cold and yet not frozen...

"Huh?" Julia reached up and caught it... "Ooo, thanks." "I have no idea how he gets these." She sits up, cracks it open, and enjoys.
