hageshii | Violation 1.01 - [Action/Voice]

[He's not a New Feather, thank you very much. Arriving a few days, Goroh quietly settled back into life in Luceti. Last time he reacted to Luceti badly. Cut off from his home and wife, he'd turned to drinking and smoking to deal with the place. If his old man had seen him, he'd have smacked him upside the head for it. Goroh had never been a typical samurai, but he'd definitely let his standards slip. It was a shock realizing he had forgotten Lisa. Not only that, but his hands were covered in blood. It was like plunging into a frozen lake, suddenly returning to Luceti with the memories of what the place had turned him into.

It's why he moved back to his old place and generally not kicked up a fuss. He'd handle this place differently this time. Smarter. But the fact of the matter was, he was still bored. He could meditate and make tea and work out for hours and he was still left with a lot of nothing to fill his time. By now he and the gang would be planning out their next job. No wonder he had watched so much TV while he was here. It was that or boozing. (If only he knew the Dome had been upgraded, huh?)

Well. Only one way to solve this.]

Slayer girl. I heard you've been taking care of my TV while I was gone. I'll be taking that off your hands now. Be sure to have it all packed up when I stop by this evening.

As for everyone else, if you didn't see me already, guess you could say I'm back. The name's Samurai Goroh, but don't get any high minded ideas of noble warrior from me. I'm in the pirating business. Space piracy, that is. Not that there's much call for that kind of thing around here. I spent a year here before, but never found much of a hobby that matched that kind of excitement. So how about some suggestions. Just don't try to stick me with some kid's stuff, understood?

[Later on, Goroh's in town. He'll poke around the general store, hoping to find some weights to work with. He can't go letting himself get soft around here. No stop at the bar, though. He's keeping a low profile, just staying on the essentials. Maybe he'll pick up some food for later. He only shares his kitchen with one other person right now (that's Chun Li), so he'll be displaying a rarely seen act of cooking finesse all up in his apartment. Who knows, lovers of some classic Japanese food may be attracted to the third floor of Building Two if they happen to be in the stairwell.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I must be spoiled, I find it difficult to believe that someone who travels through the space on a daily basis wouldn't prefer to fight over anything else.

[She only went out there once so she doesn't count.]

And you didn't have hobbies back home?

Oh, there's always people out looking for a good fight. Me? Never saw a reason to hurt someone if I didn't have to. Even when hijacking a transport. As for my hobbies, being with my own gang was all I needed. Maybe throw in a few races at the Grand Prix here and there. Aiming for the big prize is always worth sparing some thing.

Races, huh? I'm not completely sure but maybe you can simulate something like that at the Battle Dome? It can be used now for more than just battles after all, there's still a time limit but you can always restart it from where you left it, I think.

That so? I may have to give it a look. See if it can't handle the requirements for something like that. I've been in a lot of F-Zero simulations. Not a one of them's ever done it for me.

I'll give you that, sometimes a simulator just doesn't cut it when compared to the real deal. And despite the Battle Dome's technology being slightly better than what's around the rest of the village, it still is like almost ancient.

[For her standards at least. Hello gravity that can only go up to ten times the Earth's gravity.]

You call that ancient? What kind of world you from?

One where I can make a gravity machine that simulates three hundred times the Earth's gravity while I sleep. And in general far more advanced than anything you can find in this village.

Not bad. So you're space age, then. [he doesn't comment on the gravity thing, because he can't imagine why you'd ever need that much gravity.]

That's right. So right that we actually have a handful of aliens living in our planet already.

[Though Earth doesn't have much interest in the outer space as things are. They definitively are in space age, specially after the Namek adventure which helped her company to build even better motors for it.]

Only a handful? They're all over Earth now. But then, it is the heart of the Federation. So it's not that surprising.

Let's say that the Earth I'm from isn't the heart of any galactic Federation or anything like that. Aliens rarely pay attention to our planet apparently.

But a popular place to retire, from the sound of it.

Not really, it has been just coincidences that brought them here. Though one of them was sent here when most of his race died so I guess you can say we're popular as a refuge.

Sounds like a pretty backwater planet to me. And I thought Clyton was quiet.

In regards of the whole universe? Yes, pretty backwater. Unfortunately that doesn't mean "quiet" or "peaceful", specially in the last years. I think that having one of the most powerful beings in the universe, if not the most powerful being of all, living in our planet attracts a lot of the attention to us.

[Most powerful, eh? That's a big claim. Of course, he thinks most powerful in terms of... you know, normal powerful.]

Lots of challengers?

In a way, yes. And lots of people wanting revenge for previous defeats and who don't know when to stop and admit that they aren't as strong as they thought.

Almost sounds like the F-ZERO Grand Prix now. Nobody ever knows how to quit.

Does your F-ZERO Grand Prix involve people dying?

Sometimes. Especially when you drop the Grand Prix.

That's a pretty serious competition then.

Biggest competition in the galaxy. You win one of those races, you earn yourself some serious cash. Everyone wants a piece of that. Pirates, superstars, crime lords, and hell- even the Galactic Police race undercover, so as to keep the money from falling into the hands of vagabonds like myself.

To keep the money from falling into the hands of people like you... I would have thought they were more worried about the crime lords, are you worse than those?

Not at all. They're especially concerned with crime lords. But they're not too eager about letting that kind of money fall into my hands either. Even if it is a more legitimate income than piracy.

Even if you claim that if you get that money you will retire?

[In other words, even if you lie?]
