[Oh, hey, seems like someone's finally figured out how to use the camera function on his omnicomm! He's just. Older. A lot older.]

For the record, I blame Gohan and Videl for this. We were just fine until they started jumping and skipping up and down the timeline.

It's pretty obvious what's going on, so let's not have a bunch of people freak out over someone being younger than they should be. Kids, don't do anything stupid. Adults, keep an eye out for the kids. Business as usual. We've been at this for over half a year now, no reason to fuck it up just because the status quo's been shaken a bit.

Dude you made us do trust falls. You put a lock on the liquor cabinet people had to SING through to get to something. You put stickers over bathouse cameras.

[ Purity Sue, right here. ]

Nothing wrong with that but this is a little...jarring. Kinda. All grown up and using emphatic swears with the proper moderation. I'm proud.

[kingtyrantranger]

Hey, Wash went behind me and took the cameras apart!

[Okay, he can't defend against most of those. But Wash went above and beyond at that last one, you can't blame him alone there.]

Everyone's gotta grow up at some point, I guess. I wasn't gonna stay in Angel Grove forever.

[goddamngrenades]

Wash is a paranoid dork. You did it just cuz...you're you. A decent guy.

[ And how rare is that in his neck of the woods back home? So, so rare. ]

Yeah no that's a good way to end up with small town fishbowl syndrome. Thanks for the heads up, though, I'm gonna have to check in with everyone now.

You're gonna give me a swelled head here, York.

[He even mimes it. Not that it matters much, given they're on audio here.

Funny to think of Angel Grove as a small town. But, in the end, it was kind of a drop in the bucket.]

I'm just waiting until the first round of eight year olds comes in. But, yeah. Getting a headcount is a good idea.

...man it probably says something that I did not think to expect literal children other than the ones we've already got. I'm gonna make some briefing packets or shit for people that don't remember being here before since that seems to fluctuate as much as the ages.

[kingtyrantranger]

Good idea. I've already seen one kid forget what his flight ring was. Lemme know if you need a hand for that and I'll be there.

[goddamngrenades]

Getting info from the welcome committee and paring it down into shit that's easy to explain and remember for temporary versions of our friends is pretty much the job. I'll need all the help I can get.

[kingtyrantranger]

Luckily, something like this happened to some guys I know. I missed it, was busy at the World Peace Conference in Switzerland at the time, but I got a blow-by-blow once they'd grown up again.

Too bad that doesn't really help with the situation much.

[goddamngrenades]

Anything they mentioned that might've been good to know afterward? Anything helps.

[kingtyrantranger]

"Get the giant floating head that gave you superpowers to call in aliens to pick up the slack" probably doesn't help much. Sorry man, but this was twenty years ago. Most of the stories I heard about were either the badass ones or the ones about the guys who got baked into a pizza.

[goddamngrenades]

...baked into a pizza. I.


What the hell?

[kingtyrantranger]

Don't look at me. Seems like every time a team of us comes together, we're either handling someone who literally wants to cause the extinction of all life on earth or some crazy shit like being baked into a pizza or having their villains star in a dating show.

[goddamngrenades]

...Man, why don't we have more stuff like that happen here? Less the existential horror and time ripple shenaniganary.

[stophamatime]

[ Oh, did someone ask for eight year olds. ]

I'm nine.

[ Easily offended eight nine year olds, at that! ]

[kingtyrantranger]

[He just. Gestures at the screen.

You see?

This is what they've got to deal with. Called it.]
