T'Lani you little idiot, you meet a girl at the bottem of the ocean, with no scuba gear on, yet still somehow alive and breathing and you ask her a stupid question. Ivy's Law Reins: Ask as stupid question, get a stupid answer...
"Um, You mean other then you?" Arista asked, taking a good look at the... Hu-man. Ah Kelp!!
Arista backed up a bit, not sure wether to run for it of not...

(Everyone is allowed a stupid question or two)
"Obviously I mean aside from me. It wouldn't make much sense to include yourself in a question like that, would it?" After a few seconds, he finally noticed she was still breathing normally despite not having any diving gear. Frowning, and a little confused, as soon as he spotted her tail several stories he heard from Earth sailors before came to mind and it made sense.
"I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and guess your a Mermaid, am I correct?" He ignored the fact that she backed up a little, considering the Saiyans power & history, the idea of someone backing away isn't exactly a new concept.

"Yes you're right, and are you a human?" Arista to asked.
----
Gohan and Ariel swam around the coral beds, peeking into every nook and cranny. Once Gohan had explained the situation to her, Ariel had practically begged to be allowed to help them. Not seeing the harm in allowing it, Gohan had agreed, and the two had set out together. Ariel had turned out to be indispensable in the search, as she knew the area so well.
"There's a set of caves up ahead, closer to the Gorge." Ariel informed him, "Maybe the gemstone is in one of them!"
Gohan nodded mutely, still overwhelmed by the girl's overexuberance "Okay lead the way."
Ariel nodded, and dashed off, swimming away around the bend. Gohan was amazed at her speed, he didn't think that he would be able to keep up with her.His flashlight hung at his side turned off, the sunlight that shined down, into this part of the canyon, was more than sufficient to a light the way.
Gohan paused, when he saw Ariel stopped up ahead, near a part of the cliff wall that strongly resembled a piece of Swiss Cheese, the stone face was honeycombed with a labyrinth of caves of varying sizes and shapes.
"This is it, these caves are great to explore! Some of them go on back for miles into the cliffs! I know most of them." Ariel told him.
Have you ever seen any gemstones inside? Gohan asked, feeling a little hesitant when it came to going in to the dark caves.
"Well maybe I have, what does a gemstone look like?" Arial asked curiously.
"It's a stone, shiny, really pretty, it's usually translucent, you can see right through it like ice." Gohan replied.
"An Ice Stone?Oh I hope I get to see it! It sounds amazing!" Ariel gushed enthusiasticlly.
Gohan smiled, 'Now I see why I took to her so quickly, she sort of acts like dad!'
The two entered the caves slowly, Gohan turning on his flashlight, to light the way....

"No, I'm a Saiyan" T'Lani answered, not having any particular reason to lie about his heritage. He looked at her for a second, thinking "You backed away looking concerned, before asking if I was a human. How come?" he asked, slightly curious.

"Um not supposed to talk to or go near humans, they're savages after all; they eat Fish!" she said in disgust as if it where the vialest thing she'd ever heard of, "Never heard of a Saiyan tho..."

T'Lani wanted to laugh 'She thinks humans are savage? She really hasn't heard of Saiyans!', but settled for looking confused "Savage because they eat fish? That's just the way the world works. There are things that eat humans, too."
He thought for a few seconds "Saiyans are similar to humans, just better known for being more aggressive when provoked. Either way, I'm not human, despite the similar appearance."

Arista glared, "I'll have you know I have friends who are Fishes! Its not funny thinking of someone eating them!"
She was however a bit cautious of talking to him, 'What if daddy finds out...'

(They are likely wearing a wetsuit - though I doubt a Saiyan would actually need one, no matter how deep they go - Is T'Lani's tail around his waist inside the suit or above it?)
T'Lani shrugged "And I doubt the humans would be that happy with the big creatures eating people they know. Theres a reason it's called a food chain."
"What are you doing out in the middle of nowhere, anyway?" he asked, trying to steer the conversation away from food.

Bulma made special closed ended sleeves for the Saiyan's tails, its like a stretchy sock sewn on to the backside of the wetsuites to keep thier tails dry while still allowing mobility.
"Middle of nowhere? This is Shipwreck valley, its hardly the middle of nowhere, just over that Ridge to the West is Shell Mountain, over there to the East is Coral Bed Canyon and The Gorge and to The North there's Kelp Valley, Now thats the middle of nowhere, nothing there but Seaweed and Kelp for miles."
----
Up to the North Vejita cursed struggling through yet another patch of seaweed, "Does this blasted meadow never end??!!"

Post by Prince T'Lani on Mar 23, 2009 1:27:22 GMT -5
T'Lani blinked a few times "North? The north is the middle of nowhere?" after a few moments, he started laughing "Oh man, this is great! Vejita went to the north, I can only imagine how he's feeling right now!". The laughing died off, replaced by a smirk.
Though he hadn't seen Vejita for years, he still knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't exactly be in a good mood. "I bet he's loving it up there!"

"THAT DOES IT!!" Vejita growled, swimming up out of the kelp bed, kicking free of the last of the weeds, looking around he nearly pased out then turned red and clicked on his link, not caring that it was public not privet and blasted Goku.
/KAKAROT YOU DIRTY BASTARD WHAT IS THIS A JOKE??!!! THERE'S NOTHING UP HERE BUT A FOREST OF DAMN WEEDS!!!!/
---
Goku and Trunks looked at their Masks lying on the floor of the Casule House as Vejita's voice blasted.
Gohan and T'Lani weren't as lucky...
----
Gohan Nearly went to deaf and Ariel screamed and dodged away at the sound, the young boy clutched his head, "Oww!!"
Ariel looked at him worriedly, "Why did he yell like that? Is he hurt?" (Gohan had taken the time to explaine the headset in the mask.)
"No... Vejita-san's angry. Dad sent him into a valley full of Seaweed." Gohan explained.
"Oh Kelp Valley! My sisters and I used to play hide and seek up there!" she suddenly realized what that would mean for someone with a sour temperment like Gohan told her Vejita had, she burst out laughing.

"OWW!" T'Lani put his hands up to his ears, despite knowing it wouldn't help, at the screaming that scared away some nearby fish. A few seconds after Vejita stopped, T'Lani smirked again, muttering "Finally had enough, brother?"
He turned to Arista "That was Vejita that screamed, the short tempered - and short - one of our small group."

/Hey T'Lani-yaro might intrest you to know your mics still on freak! Stop talking to the damn fish and find that stone!!!/ Vejita seethed, he then shut off his telecom completely and swam above the kelp and Seaweeds.
He was pissed off, he looked to check his air supply, he had a little over an hour left before he needed to get back and refill, he spent that time, looking around, familiarizing himself with the area and memorizing land marks.
---
Gohan and Ariel went around in the caves digging into every corner for the Heart of Atlantis.

(Gohan & Ariel got off to a slightly better start than T'Lani & Arista. Did Gohan explain what he is?)
T'Lani snickered, turning the mic off at his end and checking his own air tank 'About an hour'. He turned to Arista "Well, it was interesting talking to you, but I'm supposed to be looking for something called the 'Heart of Atlantis' or whatever they called it. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find it, by any chance?"

Ariel is much less cautious than Arista is. Plus Ariel's a complete Otaku when it comes to Humans. So finding a young Human (even if he's only half) to hang out with is like a devine gift from Neptune to her.
"Heart of Atlantis? ...Nope. Never heard of it. Sorry!" smiled Arista, "If its from the Human World you'd want to ask Ariel, she collects all sorts of "whatchamacallit" and "thingys". She'd probably know where to find it... Infact. Ariel is who I was looking for, she's snuck off again."
---
The two exited the caves and Gohan looked at his air supply, "Uhoh! I only have thirty minutes of air left! Which way is West!"
Ariel pointed down toward the Coral beds, "That way."
"Okay, comon! I want you to meet my friends!" Gohan smiled and swam along towards the Capsule House.
---
Vejita headed back to the Capsule House, he opened a link back up to T'Lani and Gohan.
/Brats! If your not already on your way, head back to the Capsule House now./
Gohan's voice came over the Telecom a moment later, /I'm on my way now Vejita-san!/

T'Lani activet his comm /Okay, I'm coming./ then deactivated the link. "Well, seems I am at the end of my limit. The great and mighty Prince of all Saiyans wants everyone back." he said the last part with noticable sarcasm.
He turned to Arista "Want to come along? Everyone there is a Saiyan, no humans."

Arista thought about it, no one was around to see her...
"Okay what the heck, I'll come!" she smiled following him.

T'Lani swam toward the small group of Saiyan ki's not far off, keeping an eye on the odd one that was similar to Arista. Getting closer to the house, he turned back to Arista while swimming "So, who is this Ariel you were looking for? A friend?"
One thing he couldn't help but wonder was 'If she doesn't like Humans, how would she react to half-Humans?'

"She's my little sister, she's a pain really, she's always swimming off somewhere to do who knows what. She drives my father and Sabastian -My father's advisor, he's a Crab, litteraly- up the walls!" she laughed.
---
Ariel and Gohan arrived the same time as Vejita did and their was a long pause as they took eachother in.
Gohan was treading water beside a half girl/half fish creature the likes of which Vejita had never seen before.
And Vejita looked like a creature what with all the kelp and seaweed he was still tangled in...

T'Lani smiled "Sounds like an interesting person." He looked ahead to see the capsule building, stopping not far from Gohan and noticing Ariel "Seeing two Mermaids in such a short time, what are the chances?"
Turning around to ask if this is Ariel, he spotted Vejita and frowned "Is Veijta under all that or has Gohan found an odd new pet?"

"Haha, youre hilarious. You can thank that baka inside for my new attire! Asshole! Sending me up into a damn forest of weeds!!!" growled Vejita, he swam over and palmed the door open swimming into the antechamber.
Gohan grined, "Follow me Ariel! I wanna show you something!"
The two disapeared around the side of the house.
"Who was that who just went with Ariel around the...thing here? Was that another Saiyan?" Arista asked abit aprehensively.
---
Gohan lead Ariel around to the window, they looked in and watched Goku and Trunks making food, Trunks mostly stopping to try and correct Goku.
"Oh no... Trunks's letting daddy cook...thats not good..." Gohan said sadly.
"Which one is your father?" Ariel asked.
(Gohan and the others are wearing fullbody wetsuites so their hair is covered.)
"The one with the black hair... who's spilling everything." Gohan sighed embaressedly.
Just then Goku and Trunks looked up and noticed the two, Trunks sitting there in shock with his mouth wide open, Goku waved cheerfully.
Gohan and Ariel waved back.
Gohan's air tank blipped, the boy checked it, twisting his head around to see the gage, "Uhoh, I'm down to ten minutes! I gotta go in! You'll stay here won't you??"
Ariel nodded smiling.
Gohan smiled back, barely precieveable through his mask and started back around the Capsule House.

T'Lani watched Vejita dissapear, then turned to Arista "That's Gohan, he's a Saiyan, well...half Saiyan. His mother is human. Nothing to worry about, he's probably the most gentle person I ever met, next to his father." He looked at the tank "Oh boy, this is going to be empty soon."
He started moving to the door "It'll have to be refilled. See ya soon."

Arista watched him go, she then watched as Gohan swam back around the side and entered the antechamber with T'Lani.
She then Swam around side of the house to find Ariel.
Inside Vejita was wreastling with The slippery, tangles of kelp and Seaweed that refused to get off him and yelled at Goku the whole while blaming the poor saiyan for everything from their home world getting blown up to the pain in his big toe. and then just since he could, he blamed for this whole latest mess with Vincario too.
Goku was looked down more than abashed and Trunks started in.
"Father that's not fair and you know it!! Goku-san had nothing to do with any of those things!!" Trunks scolded.
"As far as I'm concerned he's the exact cause!!" growled Vejita pulling a Sea Star from his hair, he glared at it for a secound in shock and then chucked the poor delicate star at Goku who caught it and craddled it in his hands gently.
"VEJITA!!! CAREFUL!!" Goku scolded, watching the poor tiny starfish move one slender point feably.
Vejita scoffed and went back to trying to murder the plants that were holding him captive.

T'Lani walked out of the antechamber with Gohan, heading to start the air tank refilling, paying special attention to making sure he snickered when passing Vejita. Plugging the tank in, he walked into the living area "I don't think I'll ever see fish quite the same way again." He turned to Vejita "I guess you'll want someone else to look to the North next time? Someone like Goku?"
He sniffed the air and frowned to the kitchen "Is something burning in there?"

"SHIT!!" Cried Trunks hurring over to the stove and pulling a pan off the stove, "Goku-san! You were supposed to put water in the pan BEFORE you added the rice!!" "Oopse!" sighed Goku sadly, he'd forgot, he walked over to the cabinet and got out a glass bwl filling it with cold water and carefully placed the small Sea Star inside. Goku's Sea StarJust then the Communications monitor clicked on and Bulma smiling face appeared "Hey all!!"
