“Things been mighty hectic since the move...”

Response to @cursedfortune​ since Tumblr lost your ask,

“Thank you for being gentle with me.”

That statement came unexpectedly. It brought the farmer to a moment's pause from his chore--hunched over on a stool as he had gently-meticulously-milked the teats of a patient cow. Nutritious milk pooling in the tin pail below. Mortem must have been watching him again from afar, as she often did. Calamity did not mind this however though, especially not when she always kept a respectable distance so as not to interrupt his work. And in part what had made the comment so surprising.

He wondered where it could have come from. Perhaps it was an association by his gentle handling of the animals--he knew that Mortem was particularly observant and especially at piecing things together. Why it was any wonder then why she still hadn't figured him out yet... Or maybe it had been something else entirely. He could never tell with her sometimes; the woman a constant enigma yet one that his curiosity never tired of. His lips curled into a warm--if not slightly shy--smile as he sat up and turned to look at her from over his shoulder.

"Hwah-ha-- and where's that coming from, Miss Mortem?”

“You're welcome."

Is this blog dead?

OoC: This is such a strange ask to get, ngl. I want to firmly say “no”, but I can’t deny that this ask was sitting in my inbox for seven days before I noticed it. So uh.

(To be fair, the Tumblr app didn’t alert me.)

Anyhow no, I don’t want to say that this blog is ‘dead’. I‘ve certainly been inactive and my mood to write and RP comes and goes. But don’t mistake it as me ‘losing interest’ or my love for Calamity and his acquaintances--I still very much do.

I’m just...kinda winded aback by this ask. That’s really something to ask.

I have little to add, but I did make Calamity in Miitopia today.

“Woah!”

Maybe he had been gone for a lot longer than he had realized--that sudden hug took him by surprise! A chuckle then began to rise out of him as he smiled back to his friend.

“Hwah-ha-ha! I didn’t know you missed me that much, Miss Mortem! I’m mighty touched.” He gently returns the hug. “I missed you and your smiling face too!”

SEES @driftercalamity​

Mortem immediately blanket hugs Calamity.

Anyone who would find out about Bowen’s current line of work tended to convey similar pleasant reactions. An officer might help in some regard, but Bowen certainly had more knowledge of what was out there. "Oh it’s not so much ‘inhabited’ planets. It’s 'habitable’ planets. It’s not necessarily about planets that have already been colonised or have civilisations, it’s those which have everything required for that kind of environment.. though I must admit even then around these parts there’s not much more to find.”

He had done quite a bit of research before coming to Biaruta. One of the other planets he had come to prior, he was able to look into the wars and the work of the Cold Force. There was still much to look into, but to have that background knowledge helped him in his work. Even with so much happening before, there would, at least, be some places which were lucky, at this point, to have yet felt the horrors of war and sentient destruction.

Some, indeed, were not found on the map, though for how long was a good question. You might have some places which managed to hide themselves for the moment, but with expansion, with further conquest, they might not have that luxury for long. It might be a case of borrowed time, that one might be fortunate to see them so peaceful now, before a threats would come and take that all away. “I know that feeling, sometimes this work can be quite hectic.” Yes, even researching planets, you were not immune to the politics and the fighting. He knew he had to be careful, he did not want to get caught up in the crossfire, in any capacity.

“That’s exactly it! Always the first port of call! Ah.. pardon the pun.” He then remarked, though slightly embarrassed that he made such a joke, even if it was unintentional. Of course he wondered if Calamity had been here before to suggest that kiosk, though he would take the other’s suggestion and head on over with him. “Strange… I would have imagined something far bigger than a kiosk, especially if you’re getting loads and loads of people coming in.” He openly pondered out loud, scratching his cheek a little.

"Oh, pardon me. I must've misheard." The clarification, in truth, did disappoint Calamity just a little. It was not that he did not see value in Bowen's choice, especially in this era where it was growing increasingly harder to find habitable worlds. Calamity could see himself settling for a planet void of civilization but sustainable to his other needs. But he also longed for a welcoming community that would gladly take him in with open arms. Maybe it was a little selfish of him, but who was he to deny the social butterfly in him? Needs are needs and those included social ones as well.

"Can't say there's too many habitable planets either these days. They fetch a high price on the planet trade market..." He muttered the last bit in a whisper of sorts. It was exactly the kind of monopoly that the Cold Force specialized and prided themselves in. Conquer valuable planets, whether colonized or empty, and then lease it to the highest bidder regardless of the consequences.

Calamity just wanted out of it.

A small smile then perked. Maybe Bowen did catch on then. "Hwah-ha. Like I just said, you must have your work cut out for something so hectic. I'd be careful if I were you..."

Now walking alongside him to the kiosk, it hadn't actually crossed Calamity's mind until now just how small the service building was. Stretching his arms back behind his head, he mulled it over. "... Maybe it's the tourists' kiosk then? That's where they pointed me at least." And they were not wrong, he was a tourist visiting their planet. "I mean...after reporting to customs and all that first, of course. Gets mighty tiresome after so many times. But I can see the need for it." One could never too careful nowadays with the galaxies plagued by militias and space pirates.

“You… want to have a drink with me?” He couldn’t hold back his disbelief, there was an assumption on his part that Calamity would want to avoid spending time with Trunks after he had jumped to conclusions erroneously. However, it seemed that he cared not for the mistake, something of which the half-saiyan would be grateful for.

Truth be told, he knew little of what the life of a farmer, and even less of what their markets were like, but the offer was a rare opportunity. The idea to go out and meet new people had never been an idea that popped into his head, typically deciding to venture out in society with someone he already knew, or venture to some isolated area where it would only be him and nature itself. 

Perhaps fittingly, this had been anything other than a typical encounter between the two of them.

“I… suppose there’s no harm in it. I don’t think I’ve ever had milk from a bottle before.” His eyes would dart to the cart, some of the Heran’s supplies had spilled as a result of the unexpected appearance from Trunks, though there was little to be done about it. Judging from the farmer’s reaction it had been a notable loss, though he apparently didn’t hold it against the cause, however warranted however warranted it may have been to do so.

The talk of interstellar life would elicit a small hum from the hybrid, uncertain of how to phrase his own experiences in a manner that wouldn’t come off as confusing or worrying. Well, more worrying than being threatened by a stranger one just met, “Unfortunately, my experience with interstellar life is rather limited. Most of it comes from attempting to defend the planet from threats, such as Frieza and his army, or Bojack with his gang of goons.”

He was unsure if Calamity knew the relevance of the name of a tyrant that used to control most of an entire galaxy, but could only assume that like with Bojack, he was spared from having to know about a rather cold and ruthless killer. “Thinking about it, the only time I got off planet was due to the plot of a saiyan using his own son as a weapon.”

A gleeful smile spread across Calamity's face. While yes their initial encounter had been tense and awkward, bygones would be bygones and Calamity was not about to hold it against the lad for a misunderstanding. And besides, he craved the chance for some social interaction. Settling on this planet and having to rebuild his life entirely from the ground up had lent him a rather lonely and reserved life. He got along well enough with the locals, but it was nowhere near the same as the exceedingly rare opportunity to speak with another so cognizant of life outside of Earth. It was the once-in-a-lifetime chance for the Heran to confide his true origins and not have to hide behind the paper-thin veneer of pretending to be an Earthling. He wasn't going to pass up that opportunity to throw off the covers and finally breathe.

"Hwah-ha! Alrighty! Milk on the house then! Lemme just get Bagel here out of 'er buckles and put away those crates..."

He had tended to the patient horse first, who looked quite relieved and refreshed to finally be dismissed from work. She contentedly trodded off then to her own devices around the corral. All this while Calamity intently listened to Trunks with acknowledging nods. Yet it was as he turned to unload the remaining crates that a name--a name so chillingly sinister--caused him  to suddenly freeze in place and turn deathly quiet.

Cautiously he turned his head around and looked at Trunks with a mix of genuine concern and utter disbelief on his face. The other bit mentioned, something about Trunks's father, had more or less fallen on deaf ears when all Calamity had heard was the name of the feared tyrant. He held onto that disbelieving silence until, scarcely, he uttered the question held on his lips,

"You met Frieza...?"

[ I don’t really have much to say here. Well actually I kinda do have some Thoughts about parallels between Calamity and myself, but those are kinda Deep and better saved for another time.

I just mostly wanted to make a short post that I’m doing okay and well for the most part. I’m just busy and haven’t felt that motivated to RP. I hope everyone else is doing well. ]

Another rule update

[ Hey guys, back with another update to the blog rules since that’s all I do here anymore. (Joking; I just haven’t felt super up to writing lately.) With the news that the RP Thread Tracker website won’t actually be shutting down, I’ve updated my rules to reflect that (though I’d still appreciate it if replies are tagged).

But also, I’ve added another important rule in:

Minors do not follow or interact please. Although I will not post expl*cit content here, I do occasionally still post some adult content so I am not comfortable with minors following.

Nothing’s happened to bring up this rule, I’m just making this clear. ]

"Hey, no, not at all! I’m doing research into habitable planets, particularly the similarities in regards to nature, civilisation, that kind of stuff. It’s quite a project!”

Well, it was half true anyway. Yes he was doing that research, but on a grander scale. The term used on the project was ‘Earth-like’ planets, particularly the different Earths out there. Sometimes though you needed some outside of that scope for comparison, Biaruta naturally was a good choice in this particular universe. Plus this work was far better than the alternative, he hated dangerous missions.

“A freelance traveller? Boy, that’s lucky. Imagine being able to just travel without any obligations or worries.. or work.. man. Can’t help but envy you just a little.”

And so he would be kept oblivious to the other male’s actual goals. Granted, such would be similarly shared. Bowen had long wished to take a very big break from work for a while, although he had his own home to settle down to, despite having enemies after him too. Such wasn’t really all that important in this conversation, along with a lot of other details. So much the pair had hidden, but was it all really relevant in this moment?

“Yeah, I’ve been to bigger, but every city’s different, they’ve all got a different feel to one another.” He remarked. “I tend to start with their public transport stuff, but, heh, that’s just me. There should be a tourist office around here actually, there usually is one around all the ports! We could go grab some info to get a better starting point.” More so for Calamity than for him.

"R-Really?!" That definitely caught Calamity's attention as well as invoke, somewhat vainly, a renewed sense of hope. Perhaps he had met someone even more helpful than a porter or officer. "You research planets like this one? Why that sounds really interesting! Hwah-ha! You must have your work cut out; there ain't too many inhabited planets nowadays."

In part because of the conquests of the Cold Force and in part of the many galactic wars that predated them. Even just finding another inhabited planet with an supportive ecosystem could be a challenge. Calamity had been managing decently enough on his own thus far, but if Bowen here really was a planet researcher then maybe he might have a clue where to find the kind of planet Calamity was looking for. Or at the very least point him in the right direction.

It was a nice thought... A real direction after years of wandering the galaxy lost... He chortled and smiled at Bowen's admiration, though it was a somewhat sympathetic and cryptic smile. "Hweh-heh. It sure is an adventure. There's never a dull moment." Though he begged for the alternative.

His eyes then lit up again at the suggestion. "Sure! Don't see why not! Can't get informed enough when you're a stranger in a strange world. The office is uh...that-a-way I think?" He surveyed the area for a second before setting his sights on a small kiosk a short walk away. He had already reported there earlier a couple days ago to ask the common questions, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to go there again.

Headcanon I guess?

I have noticed that whenever Calamity gets nervous, feels awkward, or is trying to keep something hidden, he brushes back his hair bangs. Guess that’s his nervous tick?
