Action/Voice

[People who happen to be making use of the Hot Springs might take note that there's a stranger in their midst. A short, bald man with six little dots on his forehead is laying down and sleeping on one of the deck-chairs near the edge of the tub. He's dressed, at least, but that doesn't change the fact that he's just there, dozing away with a journal for a pillow. Occasionally he lets out a little sigh of contentment, mumbling to himself in his sleep and seemingly oblivious to the world around him.

After a while, he does wake up though, and looks around, completely lost. In his flailing he notices the journal he's been laying on and grabs it up.]

Huh? What...? Well how the heck did I end up in a hot spring? And...what's with this thing? Oh man I hope that blinking light doesn't mean it's gonna explode or something. That'd be just my luck...

[There's the sound of random buttons being pressed and the picture flickers a few times before Krillin realizes that the blinking light means that it is, in fact, recording. He sounds immediately apologetic, and just starts speaking normally, if somewhat formally.]

Uh...sorry about that. My name's Krillin and ah-hehehe I don't know who's Capsulepad this is, but I found it and I wanna return it. The book model is really cool, I didn't even know they made them, but I'm not a thief. If you can hear this, then let me know where you are and I'll return it right away. Only, I guess it'd be great if you could give me some directions too.

[Later, after he's finally departed and begun to poke around his new surroundings, Krillin makes a beeline for town, whizzing along through the chilly air and cursing his luck. It's cold, and his clothes are freaking gone, and he of course missed the teleporter. Once he finds and swipes some clothes, he'll start poking his head around trying to find out where he can get some food and more information. So, expect him to turn up in the Item Shop, Bakery, and Welcome Center.]

[OOC: Please feel free to break time on the action portions of the thread! It's more fun that way.]

Well, you came back from the future to warn us about the Androids. Remember? You killed Frieza with a sword. And that was pretty impressive.

And, I guess I've met you when you were a baby too, right before the Androids turned up.

[Well that answered his question.]

Okay I'm going to say this very slowly so don't freak out. The Trunks you think I am? I'm not him. The one you met as a baby? That's me, only I'm an adult now.

Wait. Geez, uh...that was fast.

[Wait, well...Bulla did mention something about time being weird...]

So, you're a grown up Trunks, of the baby? Maaaan, this more more of a headache than time travel.

[He looks over things and sees that not only did Vegeta also find Krillin, but Bulla did too. Hopefully his dad wasn't too harsh on poor Krillin.]

Yup that's right. I also see my dad and sister Bulla found you before I did too. Did they explain things about this place to you and maybe a bit about the future?

A little bit. Mostly about how time is weird, but...not much about the future.

Well I guess I can tell you a little bit. Goku and Chi Chi have another son named Goten and he's my best friend. You'll probably find him around here, but he'll be a little kid who looks exactly like Goku instead of an adult like me. Gohan also gets married and has a daughter named Pan, she's around here too. You've met Bulla of course and your daughter Marron is one of her best friends.

I have a daughter? [He stops, a little caught off guard by that.]

Who's the mother?

[Well since he's told 18, he might as well tell Krillin...]

...Android 18.

Wait...really?

[He blinks.]

You're kidding, right?

I wouldn't lie to you, Krillin. You're a close family friend and Marron is one of my best friends too. She, Goten, and I used to play together a lot when we were kids.
