how to play.

1. Drop a comment with one or more of your muses. It can be empty if you want me to make a scenario, or you can toss one at me. If you want to just give me a prompt (a word, song, lyric, picture, phrase, anything), I can riff off that too.
2. In the subject line, you can specify any of my muses you might want to play with, or you can ask me to pick someone.
3. just rp with me. if something jives really well, maybe we can continue it in another one of these later, sort of like a super casual verse. if it doesn't, it doesn't.

"Miscalculations. Or some sort of disturbance in the time stream, which is more likely. Those are impossible to predict, and there's no way I could've worked that into my projections. Doing the math for something that has a one in a trillion chance of happening on a scale that ranges from nothing to world-ending is like asking a rock to write a research paper. It's just not going to happen. I mean, it could, but you'd basically be spending the rest of your life working out the details of every single what if scenario."

And nobody had time for that, which is why Bulma willingly sent her son into the past knowing that one of those what ifs could happen and she'd lose him forever. But things had gotten so bad that a chance at making things better was worth the risk.

"I've been working on repairs, but this world... kind of leaves a lot to be desired. I'm having to make modifications. A lot of modifications."

Good thing Briefs are like MacGyvers. They can build anything out of nothing.

"Is there anything in particular you need? I could probably help you find it?"

Not that she has any obligation to -- but she's curious to see and hear more about his strange world and inventions. It's so rare to run into something actually new for a vampire as old as she is. She might as well take advantage of it while she can.

"You sure? It's some pretty high tech stuff. I could probably break in to all the places that carry have the stuff I need -- actually, I know I could -- but that wouldn't make taking it right. Just because I could knock this planet out of orbit doesn't mean I should, you know?"

Saiyans. Casually flaunting their god-like abilities around like it's just something you do. Tsk, tsk.

[easily]

"I don't see why not. I could make it so they wouldn't even realize you took anything. It'd be like nothing happened."

Vampires, flaunting their abilities and questionable morals like it's nothing.

[cautious]

"Are you offering to pay them off?"

Such an innocent suggestion, contrasting hard against his often violent nature. Rebekah has a lot of nice things, so he assumes she's loaded like his family is -- or used to be. They don't have as much money as they used to, given the state the future's in.

[easily]

"Not exactly, though I could do that as well."

She does have a lot of money -- all of it gained by less than legal manners.

[cautious]

At least the Briefs can say that their fortune was amassed through honest means.

"What do you mean?"

[easily]

"Compulsion. It's a trick vampires have. Like a sort of hypnosis."

Or you know, mind control.

[cautious]

"...that sounds a lot like mind control to me."

He'd be a lot more do-not-want about that sort of thing, were he aware of things that happen in a future he's not a part of. Vegeta's choices are not always the best ones.

[easily]

"Well sure, if you want to get technical about it."

But Rebekah and her siblings have been using compulsion for so long they've abandoned the moral qualms about it a long time ago, even if Rebekah doesn't use it as freely as say Niklaus does.
