can always use more DBZ/S and rest of series around

[Despite that starting shout from her, all it gained at first was for him to raise his brows above his sunglasses, not at all put off by it. He was rather use to angry and loud women in his life.

That and it was quickly pushed aside instead for a smile. Ok, so her reaction fed his ego a little, and he could almost hear Rogue's voice in the back of his mind telling him to not get too big a head over it, resulting in a chuckle more to himself than Bulma, though it worked in well with her answer.]

Ahh, [He brushed it aside with a shrug of a shoulder.] Can't take them too seriously, non? Just tryin' to either push what people want to hear so they keep feedin' them money, or cause drama to pull in others who might hear them. [He was guessing it was the second one, considering her reaction.] Plus, no fun leavin' it up to others to tell ya what ya future may hold, better to make it yaself, hein?

Yeah, I'm hoping I can attract some more. The DB RP scene is getting pretty small haha

[slightlysaggy]

I guess you're right. I'm probably just more used to fortune telling back home. I've seen it come true there.

[ To be honest, she's already forgetting what she was so mad about in the first place. She steps just a little closer to Remmy, putting on her most charming smile. ]

So what's a guy like you doing on a nice day like this?

Well it's working, making me tempted to try voice test some characters now

[cajunspice]

Know what ya mean, but always got people 'round tryin' to make money of those who can actually do what they say. [Remy was from New Orleans, his city was built with magic and the supernatural woven through it, and he was more than use to picking out what was real and what was not.

A topic quickly pushed aside with that little step forward and that smile Bulma leveled at him, it bringing out his own, well practiced and charming smile.] Moi? Well, [He drawled out.] If 'm bein' honest, up to no good. But that all depends who's askin'.

yeahhhh do it! do it! :'D

[slightlysaggy]

[ What a smooth talker. She really can't believe how charming he is about it though. Then again, she mostly has Vegeta and Yamcha for comparison, and they probably couldn't figure out how to properly treat a woman even if they were given a hundred years to train. ]

In that case, how about some company? You can keep me from getting too bored, and I'll keep you from getting into too much trouble. No one suspects the man with a beautiful woman on his arm, right?

Maybe after rewatching a few episodes, T4S is my current default for DBZ voices

[cajunspice]

[Oh, she was fun, she was really fun and he didn't doubt they could have a fun afternoon exploring the city with her attitude about this. He chuckling again from what she said before going to offer an arm to her... then stopping.] Sounds perfect, but realize 'm bein' so rude, I haven't 'ntroduced m'self. Then again, not use to stunnin' femmes runnin' 'nto me.

Remy LeBeau, it be very nice to meet ya.

Yeah I had to watch dubbed super a few times to get rid of the abridged voices haha.

[slightlysaggy]

Remmy, hm? Charming name for a charming guy.

[ She extends her hand. ]

Bulma Brief.

[ And then she waits. Not only for him to take her hand, but to see his reaction. So far no one she's met has been from the Earth she calls home. And her name recognition is usually the best indicator. ]

Might require a rereading of the manga, or watching the movies again for me, depending on the voice

[cajunspice]

[Remy was always one for flare when he had the audience that would appreciate it, so as she offered her hand he decided to go all out, taking it in his hand and dropping into a bit of a bow to kiss the back of it. Hell, it was just fun to play it out sometimes, even if not necessary for everyday life.

As for the name, it didn't mean much to Remy, even if it did trigger something in the back of his mind. He was sure he heard it before, but not from his world. Maybe someone from a previous turn in the Fleet, or back in Luceti.

Then again, he wasn't always great remembering random women's names the next day, let alone beyond that.] Too kind, Bulma, far too kind. [Straightening again to his full height.] What were ya plans for the day, before false tellers got in ya way?

well, if you end up picking someone up and want someone to bounce them off of, I am here. haha.

[slightlysaggy]

[ Let's be real, if we're talking Luceti he probably heard her yelling at her husband from across the village. Everyone probably did at least once. ]

[ When he does take her hand, she seems pretty delighted with the attention. So far, her time with the fleet has been one argument and disappointment after another. It's nice to feel like a normal (but of course gorgeous, she reminds) woman for once. Even if it is on some strange con-artist planet ]

Nothing concrete, just the normal touristy kind of thing. The observatory [ Just to check out this planet's level of technology. ], a bite to eat, some drinks. But I'm open to suggestions, y'know.

Absolutely :)

[cajunspice]

Well, only seems fair to treat ya to something good 'nd tasty to help forget 'bout what happened earlier today. Wanna try hunt down a place to eat 'nd chat, then can see what trouble can get 'nto, or ya keep me out of, [A smile to her earlier comment.] While headin' to that observatory?

[As he released her hand, Remy offer that arm to her again for her to take so they could walk, wondering how far to push this charm or how far she would want to take it, not minding either way if she did or she had enough of the fun kidding around.] 'nterested in star gazin', or something a bit more serious?

[slightlysaggy]

[ She does take his arm, rather cheerfully. She's actually kind of amazed at his proposed plan. ]

You really want to do all that? Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I'm shocked.

[ And... Slightly guilty for some reason. Sure, she's not technically doing anything wrong at the moment. She's touched Goku more than this even after being married, but there's still just a nagging feeling. That's why she immediately jumps to conclusions when he asks about the observatory. ]

Something more serious? W-what are you saying exactly?

[cajunspice]

[A little surprised by the reaction he got after how much she had been seeming to enjoy their casual flirting and joking around, his brows raised over his sunglasses again as Remy glanced to her.] Mean it ya field of work, or just a past time? What ya think I meant? [Though as those words came out of his mouth, Remy started to piece it together. Huh, maybe he had laid it on a little thick, huh? Oh well, she wasn't hitting him, or calling him names, or running away so far, so seemed she wasn't fully panicked yet.

He then offered a shrug to her first question.] Why not? I got some funds, 'nd seein' new place is always more 'nterestin' with someone else than doin' it solo.

[slightlysaggy]

Oh-- I mean, nothing really! [ She laughs just a bit too loudly and awkwardly after that. Good job, Bulma. Real smooth transition there.

But, she clears her throat in an attempt to alleviate the awkwardness she's caused. ]

It is my job. Technology and all that. I run a pretty big company back home that makes capsules. So you know, I wanted to check out some of the technology here. Some planets are kind of secretive with their tech, but it's not like I'm spying or something. So.. I guess it's not actually a big deal.

[ Man, she really just needs to calm down. ]

You're right! I was getting really tired of wandering around here on my own, which I guess was pretty obvious.

[cajunspice]

[Remy hid a smile at her cover laugh, not planning to call her out on it and letting her cope with it however she wanted, giving her that moment before continuing to talk.] Oh yeah? 'ssumin' ya not meanin' medical capsules, like the ones ya swallow. 'less ya puttin' something like nanotechnology or the like in it.

[His grin then turned a bit wicked, a chuckle entering his tone.] Hey, nothin' hurtin' gettin' to see what's out there. Not like this ya world, so ain't like they in competition with ya. 'nd doubt they be able to sue ya for copyright breech or the like if ya do get some ''nspiration' from them. [Then again, this was coming from a thief, so maybe he wasn't the best person to endorse such behavior.]

[slightlysaggy]

Not exactly, but my capsules are a sort of nanotechnology. So far, everyone I've met has your definition of capsule. I guess they're kind of hard to understand if you haven't used them before, but they're devices that store things at a small size basically. [ She holds up to fingers to show the size of one of them. ] You can store food, or vehicles... Just about anything. Then you push the capsule button and BOOM! there it is.

[ She seems a little more at ease when she can explain some of her work. She even gives a light laugh at his advice on the copyright matter. ]

I don't know, maybe I should be the one worried about copyrights. I don't think a single other person so far has heard about my capsules.

[cajunspice]

[There was a long pause as Remy took in the information, processing it, before saying;] That's 'mazin'. That... wow, that, [He shook his head, mind racing at just how incredibly useful that would be,] That gotta be one of the best ideas 've ever heard. 'nd got no clue how ya even make that work. [Before aiming a grin at her.] Then again, guess that something ya really don't want gettin' out.

Ya must dominate the market.

[slightlysaggy]

Yep, it's a secret!

[ Not that she could just explain the process without hours and visuals anyway. And who's to say that technology is even possible wherever they are. ]

We did. I think that's one of the worst things about being swept away to space. STarting all over from square one.

[ On the bright side though, maybe a married older woman almost freaking out about a simple stroll down the street with a handsome younger man could boost thier ratings. You never know! ]

[cajunspice]

Ahh, but ya not really, ya got all the 'nformation up here, [Giving a tap to his temple with his free hand.] Right? Just puttin' the parts together again. May take some time gettin' materials 'nd tools again, but hell, we out in space 'nd goin' to different planets, never know what ya'll come 'cross that never thought could get ya hands on.

It ain't that bad a situation to be in.
