Tomorrow Never Knows Best :: 008 :: Samejima Mamimi

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[Mamimi is wandering through the streets of Pripyat with no real destination in mind. She's walking down the middle of the street humming vaguely to herself and smoking. She stops every so often and takes a few pictures with her camera, a bulky relic possibly older than she is. She kneels in the middle of the street to change the film, winding the roll all the way back before pressing in the release on the bottom and opening the back. Feel free to interrupt her as she performs this delicate operation.]

[Piccolo is standing just off to the side of one of the roads in a rather secluded dead-end street, practicing his fighting form and techniques... well at least not the ones that involve lasers. He discarded his weighted cape and turban at the opening of his secluded street in hopes of working on his agility rather then his strength.]

[After slipping the used film into her bag and replacing the roll Mamimi catches Piccolo discarding the cape out of the corner of her eye. She creeps forward, hunched and apprehensive, towards the mouth of the street. Her eyes go wide and she brings the camera up to her face, taking shot after shot after shot of Piccolo]

[dfasdfassds! clicky noises what the hell?! Piccolo whips around a blast formed in his hands, but quickly freezes when he sees it's just a little human kid. Damn these little things seemed to be EVERYWHERE! And how did they keep finding him?! The blast dissipates as he sighs and wipes some sweat from his forehead then turns to go back to his training.]

[Mamimi stares at him for a second before taking another picture. She almost missed the cool glowy powers. Then she lowers the camera and says in a strangely perky voice]

Are you going to destroy me, green-san?

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[Alright that was not the tone he was expecting her to have. He turns back to her a quizzical brow raised.]

No. You're clearly not a fighter. There would be no challenge in it. And my name is Piccolo Jr. not 'Green-san'.

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[She takes another picture for good measure]

I'm not a fighter, that's true, but you could still destroy me if you wanted to, right, Piccolo-san?

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[He scoffs]

Destroying you would be as easy as blinking. Which is why I'm not going to do it...and for the love of- what the hell is that clicky thing?!

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[She's practically swooning]

Destroy something! Let me see! Please, please!

[Then confusion]

Clicky thing?

[She looks down at her camera then back up at Piccolo]

It's a camera.

[Alriiight. He doesn't quite know what to make of this. He's never had a stalker fan before. Part of him is INCREDIBLY ANNOYED but another part is rather flattered. Well showing off a little never hurt... much... unless you were that poor poor building in front of him. Piccolo charged one of his signature lasers and reduced the building to nothing but a pile of rubble.]

There? Happy now?

[Piccolo turns back to Mamimi and leans down so he can get a better look at the clicky box]

So what's that little toy of yours do?

quid pro quo Mamimi

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[She's taking pictures, actually. When she looks back at him it's almost as if she's in afterglow. She smiles vaguely at him while she rewinds the film on her camera.]

That was beautiful. You mean my camera?

[As she's speaking she pops the back opened, where the orange Kodak container sits with the film safely rolled inside.]

It takes pictures. You know, photographs.

[She points at the lens]

I don't know all the science but the image comes in here when I hold down this button, [The trigger] which lets light come in. The light hit the film which lies on this little curtain in the back.

[She points to a padded spot inside the back]

Then the image is burned into the chemicals on the film and makes a perfect permanent image.

[She slips the rolled up roll of film back into the canister]

[ Oh, so that's how humans put those creepy way-too-life-like pictures on their walls. Again he had rather mixed feeling on this. Now he was going to end up a creepy picture on a wall, but the human girl seemed to be in complete awe at his amazing skills. Not that he could blame her, but most humans usually fled in terror when he blew stuff up, not ogled it ]

What's your name girl?

[Have smirk. He likes yew]

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[Mamimi smiles at him]

Mamimi, Samejima Mamimi.

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

Mamimi huh? Well then Mamimi, what's gotten you so enthralled with my power?

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[Well that's easy]

Because destruction is beautiful. I want the world to end.

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[He stares at Mamimi very confused for a moment. But then the look of shock turns into a smirk. He found himself a new minion friend!]

Fitting. It is my destiny to rule the world and destroy it.

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

Really!?

[She looks so excited]

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am the reincarnation of Demon King Piccolo. It was his mission, therefore it is also mine.

[he sighs]

However I need to return to my world before I can reach my goal.

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

Let me help you! Please!

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[Piccolo stood there slack-jawed for a moment. Never before did he have a human offer to help him without first being either bribed or threatened. Well he supposed it wouldn' be a bad idea to have this little human follow him about.]

Alright then, tell me human, what can you do?

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[Helpfully]

I can burn things!

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[Piccolo let's out a sigh. Well, he supposed that could be useful, however if she really didn't know any fighting skills... ]

What about combat? Do you know any martial arts at all?

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

[She puffs out her full lips in a sort of pout]

No.

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

[a sigh]

Well come here then. I suppose I could teach you the basics. You'll be pretty useless unless you can defend yourself at least a little bit.

[f-i-r-e-starter.livejournal.com]

Really? You're going to teach me how to fight?

[picklesgonewild.livejournal.com]

Just the basics... you really don't look like you could handle more then that.

[Piccolo takes a basic fighting stance]

Alright, now come here and you try.
