Hey, everybody! We're all from different worlds, so I was thinkin' - who's the strongest person where you come from?

Back home, I'm pretty sure the strongest person around is Whis. He's a... [Goku pauses, trying to think of how to describe him.] ...Come to think of it, I dunno what he is! Anyway, he's really strong - he can knock out the God of Destruction in one hit, and even travel through time on his own!

But there might be someone even stronger out there! [While part of his reason for asking is to hear about other worlds, it's mostly selfish - he wants to hear about the strongest people throughout the universes.] Doesn't matter who or what it is - I wanna hear all about it!

You know, being tough an' skilled - stuff like that!

[She was going to interpret that in its more primitive context even if she implies otherwise.]

That seems to be a very broad category.

He's talking about hand-to-hand combat. Specifically, martial arts.

Most of everyone we know back home is a hand-to-hand combatant in some way, with various levels of energy manipulation to make up for any long range deficiencies.

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

Ah. [In a way, she was right in her assumption.] Perhaps 'best fighter' would be better than 'the strongest'. I am of the opinion that strength comes in many forms and not all of them involve martial arts or other forms of brawling.

I, myself, am skilled in hand-to-hand but certainly not enough to fall under that particular umbrella of being 'strong'.

[ Skilled hand-to-hand combatant without any experience using energy? Yep, that sure sounds like Videl when they first met. ]

Well, it's kind of difficult to gauge, I think. Back home, pretty much everyone we fight knows how to use ki. So the line between hand-to-hand combat and energy manipulation kind of gets blurry at that point.

[araignee_du_soir]

If 'ki' exists in my dimension, it is a secret held by certain families of the far east. [Such as the Shimada family.]

We mostly rely on guns.

Video

[superscholar]

That makes sense. Based on what I've been reading about this world's history and geography, far eastern philosophy kind of lines up with some of the things I know. Ki especially.

[ at the mention of guns though, gohan falters a bit. not undeterred, but definitely not a topic he's very knowledgeable with. ]

I've never really had to use guns, personally. So I don't know much about them.

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

[An eyebrow rose.] Would you like to learn?

[Was was with her and offering to teach others a few things?]

Video

[superscholar]

No thank you.

[ it came out a little faster than he intended, which made gohan pause in embarrassment for a moment. before he sighed in defeat, figuring that trying to hide his reaction wasn't going to help anything. ]

I'm not a big fan of guns. Given how often I have to stop criminals using guns to shoot up banks, the thought of using one kind of makes me... uncomfortable.

Thank you for the offer though.

[araignee_du_soir]

Learning how to use them makes it easier to handle someone wielding one. [Just like knowing how to kill someone teaches how to not kill someone.]

But your choice is, of course, yours. Should you change your mind, the offer will still be there.

Video

[superscholar]

I do appreciate it, and I'll probably take you up on that if it becomes necessary. Just... not right now, I guess.

My name is Gohan, by the way. It's nice to meet you, miss.

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

A pleasure. I am Wid-- [She cut herself off and sighed a little. Might as well start using it more.]

Amélie.

Video

[superscholar]

[ He was a little confused by the pause, and wondered just why she seemed annoyed. But he ultimately decided to let that go. It didn't seem that important. ]

Nice to meet you, um... Amélie.

[ It was obvious he'd never spoken a word of French in his life. It was also obvious he made an actual effort, and didn't do too badly. ]

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

[If he checked the Legionnaire roster, he'd find her 'superhero' name was Widowmaker. She generally preferred it, but apparently she needed to be more personable or something...

She does smile at his attempt.]

Not too bad, Gohan. I am impressed.

Video

[4starsaviour]

[Goku's not too sure what that means, but he can take a guess.] Okay, so if everyone you knew got in a fight, who would win?

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

That would depend on the circumstances, the terrain and the weaponry.

Video

[4starsaviour]

Whatever you normally use, I guess? [Goku hasn't fought with weapons since he was a kid, so he's not sure what difference it would make.] Oh, and it'd have to be somewhere away from cities.

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

Natural terrain then. Any other restrictions?

Video

[4starsaviour]

Nope, not that I can think of! Who do you think would win then?

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

[The people from home she knew, the use of whatever weaponry they wished and natural terrain. This was easy.]

Me.

[Arrogant - yes. Able to snipe everyone from a mile away with a high-powered rifle and infra-sight so not even Sombra can hide from her - most definitely yes.]

Video

[4starsaviour]

Really? So what can ya do?

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

I am a sniper - the best of my world.

Re: Video

[4starsaviour]

...Does that mean you use guns? [Goku's heard the term at some point, probably from the Red Ribbon Army, but he isn't really interested in guns. Being immune to bullets from a young age does that to a person.]

Video

[araignee_du_soir]

That is correct. My world favors guns.

Video

[4starsaviour]

Oh, okay. Can you fight without 'em, though? I just figure that, if someone breaks your guns or takes 'em away, you don't wanna be defenseless!
