Bardock shook his head as he stepped out of the teleportation tube. A distinct tingling sensation was crawling all over his skin. Having your atoms rearranged could do that to a person.
The Saiya-jin took full view of the platform. There were so many people, he recognized hardly any of them. A few tall green heads were wandering around, and Bardock figured that his old "friends" would probably be here. He didn't like large crowds, and looked for the nearest bar to get plastered. Strolling over, he took a seat, ignoring everyone around him. He didn't know these people anyway, why bother to associate with the ones he was going to kill or the ones who were going to kill him?
"What'll it be?" the bartender asked.
"Give me a bottle of something hard, and whatever you have to eat," Bardock ordered dully. Despite his previous resolve, he couldn't help but glance around him.
I must be a crazy stupid bastard to enter a death tournament after only being revived for a week, he thought to himself.
The bartender slid him a bottle of vodka with a shot glance and a plate of hot wings. Bardock had never had hot wings before, but they looked edible, so he chugged down a quick shot of vodka and began to eat. Every three or so pieces of spicy chicken was accompanied by another drink. If he was going to die (again), he might as well enjoy the few pleasures of life before he did it.
After three plates of wings and a full bottle of vodka, he was completely satisfied. Now all he needed was a place to sleep it off. Bardock stumbled awkwardly towards the sleeping barracks. He could hold his liquor, but he had been shot at, knocked unconscious, and verbally kicked around today, so he wasn't at his best. Glancing around, he saw a face he recognized: Nail. The righteous Namek was going to compete, how fitting. Bardock decided to ignore him. He'd settle things eventually.
Suddenly, a small child crossed his path and nearly threw off his balance. A flash of orange and blue went right past him. Bardock did a double take. That kid...he looked so much like...but...no, he was probably just seeing things.
