Day One: Afternoon

[Reijin]

Vejita finally yawned and rose to his feet, pointing at the two others. "So team... Where to next?" He was met with a pair of shrugs as his only answer. He grumbled a bit and reached into his bag, pulling out his map and surveying it. Reijin took advantage of the opportunity to open his own bag.

For the most part, it was filled with everything that he expected to be there in the first place, but near the bottom he saw a weapon that he found most interesting. A slow smile spread over his face and he removed his map, zipping back his bag so that anyone spying on them didn't realize what he was looking at. He could have some fun with it indeed.

Glancing to his side, Bra too was looking at her map. The group seemed greatly relieved to see that the rain had finally stopped falling, and the Princess finally leaned her head to the side, popping her neck from the growing stiffness they'd all acquired.

"Aha!"

Vejita and Bra jerked their heads to the side quickly at the sudden explosion of sound from Reijin's direction. The two saw that he was standing tall, holding the Reijin doll up high in a victory stance, not unlike the stance of his own doll. After a moment of silence while Reijin beamed in glorious success, Bra's voice dripped venom. "What are you doing?"

The younger Saiyan smirked at her, waving the doll around that he'd telekinetically snatched from her side while she wasn't paying attention. "You thought you'd cut off my head, didn't you? You thought that you'd dare to defy your Saiyan heritage by using a magical doll to control Reijin, one of the str-"

Her laughter shut him up midsentence as Vejita simply chuckled at the situation. Reijin stared back at her in disbelief as she seemed absolutely unshocked that he'd stolen her most powerful weapon from her. He glanced down at the toy in his hands, no longer so sure about his victory as he was a moment ago. Looking back at her, he began stammering in his speech. "But... but you said this was a magical doll that they gave you specifically so that you could destroy me! Now I have that doll in my posession, and you are laughing at me? You must have more!" he finally decided, jabbing a finger in her direction. "Where are they?" he demanded.

The heiress to the family throne rose to her feet and walked over to him slowly, watching him as he withdrew his arm and pulled it a bit further from her immediate reach. "Yes. I do. And if you do not hand this over immediately..." she threatened, slowly reaching into her bodice. "Then I'll just have to squeeze it by the head until your own head explodes," she warned, grinning from ear to ear.

Reijin glanced over towards Vejita, who simply shrugged, not sure if the pair was serious or just teasing each other. Looking back at the girl, and once more at the doll, Reijin decided he had to kill her now. He drew back his fist, feeling the energy coolly creeping down his muscular structure until it gathered within his palm, his other hand guarding the doll fiercely.

Her face taking a flustered look, Bra growled back at him intimidatingly. "Do you think that you'll have time to stop me from..." Before he could fire his beam, she ripped a flashlight out from the hidden area within her clothes and flashed it in his eyes, watching as he threw his arm instinctively in front of his eyes for protection. In doing so, he dropped the doll.

Pouncing to the ground, she grabbed the doll and rolled back to her feet, watching the panic cross his face as he noticed her catch. "That was cheating!" he declared, giving another helpless look at Vejita. The Prince simply held up both of his hands and made a point that he was in no way getting involved. Returning his eyes to the female mystic, he finally sighed dejectedly. "You do realize that I will follow your every whim as long as you have that thing.. But at the first chance I have, I will kill you. So I highly recommend you just use it now," he threatened her, already attempting to scan the area for any debris he could telekinetically throw her way.

She laughed and looked down at the doll. "Ok!" she shouted, suddenly throwing the doll at him before he could react. He had opened his mouth in preperation to fire a blast, and mid "AARR-" he found himself nearly swallowing the head of his doll, stopping quickly as he stepped back in shock. His hand flew up to the doll as he gingerly and very delicately removed the doll from his mouth with the precision of an open heart surgeon.

The flustered man then looked at her and exploded. "You... I... I could have bit off my own head! Do you realize just how badly that would have gone for me?" She simply walked up to him as he threw the doll behind his back in protection and paused a moment, patting him on the chest before walking back to her bag.

"Relax, I'm only joking. That doll can't actually hurt you. Its just a toy, since you were the semi-finalist last year. Though now I wonder how," she added dryly.

He glanced back at the doll, in all of its chibi glory, and glared back at her. "Explain yourself!" he demanded.

Rolling her eyes as she leaned back against a tree once more, the Princess continued. "Obviously I wouldn't have had the thing out in the open the entire time if they'd made such a narrow weapon for this tournament. Haven't you realized that they want to keep the weapons as open and versatile as possible? Yeah, I'm sure you have. So why would they have put in a silver bullet against you like that? Why not Raditzu instead? In fact, I'm almost positive there's another one out there for him as well. You know what? Play with that a while. I am positive that you'll find no way to hurt yourself with it," she laughed, pausing a moment to add in a bit more. "Though you might prove me wrong, somehow."

Growling angrily, Reijin threw the doll back at her as she laughed, reflexively cringing as it struck the tree until he realized that he felt no pain whatsoever. Finally, he snatched up the map and pointed in a direction, seemingly chosen at random. "I've deliberated this for a while now, and I feel that the best direction to go is that way!" he declared by a completely random jab of his finger.

However, Vejita had finally broken his silence and had cut Reijin off about halfway through his declaration with laughter, as his daughter smirked at having one-upped the tactician. Reijin snatched up his bag and threw it at Vejita before dropping back down to the ground, giving the doll yet one more look before telekinetically throwing it at Vejita as well.
