video | you hate time travel

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

[ The feed comes on to show Gohan's face. Looking younger than he did before, although that absolutely shouldn't distract from his completely bewildered expression. ]

Y-You know, I'm pretty used to a lot of things... but having memories of being older that are still somehow in the past?! That might actually be a first for me, believe it or not!


(ooc: using the time ripple event to age him back down to being a teenager, but i'm having the time trapper give him his legion memories back. tl;dr: he's eighteen again, permanently, but remembers being older. oh, and uh, pretend this is after the plots, obviously.)

I know who she is. But I don't know her.

[ Which is another can of worms he doesn't know how to deal with. ]

[video]

[4starsaviour]

That's weird! Could be worse, but it ain't good, that's for sure.

Still, you got some memories of bein' older, so maybe there's a way to get the rest of 'em back?

[video]

[fourstars]

... I'm not sure how much I want them back.

It's... strange. It feels less like I lived it, and more like I'm remembering something I wasn't there for.

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Guess that makes it easier. I know I wouldn't be much help for gettin' memories back! [He's pretty good at losing them, though.] Won't that make things weird with Videl, though? [Given how Chi-Chi already reacts to his absurdly youthful appearance, he knows that she'd find it frustrating if Goku suddenly lost ten years, and that's all he has to go on.]

[video]

[fourstars]

Y-Yeah... it will. [ Not just because they were married back home, but because they're married here. After Illum. ]

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Hm... I'm sure you guys'll be able to handle it, though. She got used to Buu, after all! [Though these are very different types of "weird".]

[video]

[fourstars]

That's um... that's not really the same thing though...?

[video]

[4starsaviour]

It ain't? Huh. It must've been a pretty big change for her, though, an' so's this!

[video]

[fourstars]

I-I mean, you're not wrong? I'm sure Majin Buu was hard to adjust to, but... [ How the hell can Gohan explain this tactfully. ]

[video]

[4starsaviour]

[Clearly, Gohan thinks this isn't the same thing, so he sees no point in arguing about it any further.] Oh well, it could've been worse. At least you didn't go back eleven or twelve years an' you didn't even know her!

[video]

[fourstars]

[ Oh god. ]

I uh... I think it's good for everyone that I'm not eleven right now...

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Yeah, probably! At least you don't have to worry 'bout it.

An' you're okay other than that, right?

[video]

[fourstars]

Oh, yeah, I think so. I mean, I'd like to figure out just what exactly happened, but... I'm not hurt or anything, so that's good.

[video]

[4starsaviour]

Whew, that's a relief! Master Roshi said that I hit my head really hard when I lost my memory, so that can't have been what happened to you.

[video]

[fourstars]

Y-Yeah, um... I don't think time travel was involved with yours...

[video]

[4starsaviour]

That's... wait, that reminds me - I did time travel not too long ago. Remember when the whole city was changing every few minutes? [Probably not, since the entire event was negated with time travel, but Goku can't exactly wrap his head around a concept like that.]

[video]

[fourstars]

... No?
