[Reijin]

Despite the tense air around them, Reijin passed Trunks's comment off with a small chuckle. "I'll leave the bending over to your boyfriend, halfbreed." he responded with a sly smile, having watched too many Earth arguements. "I was just going to make sure that you knew that I am here. I am sure that we will meet again while we are on Dante, so I must take my leave now. I will have more than enough time to... deal with business... there."

With that, Reijin reached up, grabbing Trunks's wrist and sharply dug his thumb into the center joint, between the two connecting bones, forcing Trunks to release his pressure. Trunks showed no sign of pain, however, and the two continued with smiles dripping venom.

Reijin turned, and walked, making a point of turning his back on Trunks. He would start nothing more than a friendly spar here. Reijin was sure that the security measures here would be in place where hundreds of the strongest warriors in the galaxy were located. To prevent the ship from being destroyed.

He continued down the corridor, pushing past various crowds of people, until he finally came to another being that he recognized, despite their original meeting. "So when does this lousy thing start? I'm sick of waiting."

Goku was standing next to a large reptillian being. Reijin shrugged, as he'd never met him before. "I assume we will begin soon." He saw the two look over at him, one in confusion, the other in cold blood. He simply shook his head of threats. "So... How goes it?"

[The Not Cool Not Tapion]

OOC: xD

Tapion's bright eyes fell upon the dwarf of a green alien. The four eyes of the alien stared up at him. A shiver ran Tapion's spine before he decided to respond, yet once again.

"I wanted to join to...uhhh.."

Tapion took his time to think. He gave sounds of "um"s and "uh"s while thinking. Hinting that he didn't know at all. Guldo seemed to take notice and shoke his head.

"It doesn't matter. I'm here for fun!"

Tapion rolled his eyes. This was a freak to him. He thought Guldo was ugly as a cow. He played different insults in his mind, trying to figure out what each would do. But he couldn't get a read off of this person. Tapion's eyes lit up as his LENS took in the power level of the creature. It seemed it could go way up high. Over a million as a base, for sure. He already knew the LENS couldn't give a perfect readout on maximum ki but it was up there.

Tapions eyes stared at the bald green head as the alien rambled on. Even being stronger than he, Tapion didn't really care. He wanted to fight in the big ol' tournament thing so let the green unknown creature thing continue to ramble on about unimportant things. Tapion wasn't in the mood for conversing. He wanted to sleep a little. Maybe he would meet people he liked a little more in the tournament. This guy just didn't seem to hot the spark to become friends with Tapion. Maybe it was his approach. Maybe it was what he said. He wasn't for sure, all Tapion knew was that he didn't hate him but disliked him.

He seemed too "goody-goody" for his tastes. A trait Tapion never really learned to like as much. He stayed inthe nuetral zone usually. Tapion looked back down at the dwarf. He let him ramble on some more.

OOC: Short, I know. I'm tired, bed time.

[Orion]

"So... how goes it?"

Goku's mind collapsed. It fell to the base of his skull with a hard thud. The last thing he was expecting was to see him here. If he had actually stopped and thought about the event, then perhaps he would be prepared for this. But he didn't, so he wasn't. Burter gave Reijin an unusual look, like he hadn't met him before. Goku's eyes were still stuck on Reijin's snug face, frozen in some sort of mental trance. The Saiya-jin wanted nothing more than to pound him, but he couldn't do it here without some interference. If he hit him now, Reijin would retaliate, and they would possibly destroy the entire ship. He held himself back for now, trying to think of something to say that didn't give away his uncertainty.

"What's the matter Kakarotto?" Reijin asked in jest. "I know, you must be overcome with emotion. It's almost been an entire Earth year, you know."

"So it has," Goku finally replied, his composure ringing true in his voice. "I thought I might see you here."
