4starsavior | Eighth Meal [Video]

[Given some of the reactions that this topic has gotten from other people, it's surprising that Goku didn't bring it up earlier. Then again, he's considered it the norm for years now, so he doesn't see anything odd about it. Still, it came to mind recently, so he figures he should ask about it now rather than wait and forget again.]

Back home, we've got these things called the Dragon Balls. They're these seven magic balls - dunno what they're made of, but they're really tough! - that summon a dragon when they're all brought together! When he shows up, the dragon'll grant pretty much any wish that someone asks him, then he'll go away for a year and the balls can't be used to summon him during that time.

What I was wondering was... does anybody have something like that in their world? Or at least something that grants wishes. I heard there's a pokey man [That is to say, a Pokemon - he'll probably never get that right.] that can do that, but I haven't heard of anything else, which is kinda weird.

...Oh, an' for those who don't, I've got a question - if you could wish for one thing once you make it back home, what'd it be? [He doesn't want anyone to feel left out, after all.]

Are you sure? This dragon guy said one of 'em could do that. Then again, I don't know much about 'em.

Nope! I like my hair the way it is. [Wit is wasted on the stupid.] Dunno what I'd wish for, though - usually it's just bringing people back to life. ...Maybe an endless supply of food!

Dragon guy? Do be more specific, please, yes?

[Loki inches a bit closer to the screen]

Oh! Oh! I see! You are a punk rocker, yes? Because they also wear their hair in the strangest ways, and mostly in a variety of colors. But maybe you are more of an emo punk rocker.

[Because Loki has read about this on the internet. And the internet is always right... He nods at the mention of bringing people back to life...]

I would wish my brother back too, it is a very acceptable wish. Food...? Only if its frozen milk, and chocolate. And candies of skittles without the green ones.

Well, his hair was pretty spiky [Look who's talking.], and I think his name was Vance. He's one of those guys who trains pokey men.

I dunno what my hair has to do with rocks, but it's been this way for as long as I can remember! I dunno if I could change it even if I tried. [Saiyan hair is just weird like that.]

What's a skittle?

More spikes than yours? That is most impossible.

[He pauses for a moment, thinking.]

I have not heard from a person named Vance. After all, this village has a lot of denizens. It is impossible to get to know each and everyone of them.

[Loki starts to laugh at Goku's second reply.]

A rocker is someone who is fond of rock music. A punk rocker is someone who is fond of rock music and punk music. They tend to be rebellious and not eating any meat. Midgard knows an interesting variety of cultures, you see?

[Hold on! Loki raises a finger and disappears from the screen for a moment and returns holding this wrapper in his hands.]

Skittles of Midgard.

Taste the rainbow.

Nah, it's possible. I've seen plenty of people with hair spikier than mine! [Well, it's more like two or three, and one of them is his brother.]

[...Yeah, that description's pretty much the exact opposite of Goku.] ...Why wouldn't someone eat meat? That's some of the best-tasting food!

Well, I've never ate a rainbow before - I'll have to try 'em some time!

Really? Because...you are the first one I have seen with outreagous plucks of hair pointing to absolutely everywhere. I am most positive you utilize this globby substance called hair gel, yes?

[Loki agrees with Goku's statement about meat, though. He likes meat as well and he nods firmly.]

That is a very accurate description, stranger. Ah, I do think it would be wise to exchange names, even though I am positive I am able to recognize you by your hair.

But I am Loki.

What's hair gel?

Nice to meet you - my name's Goku!

It is a most gooey substance used to enrich one's hair with spikes. When it hardens it causes spikes to appear. It is a very wonderful invention, just like colored smears for on the eyes and sticks made to color one's lips.

[Oh, Midgard is full of creativity.]

It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Goku.

Oh, so it's like that stuff that Chichi puts on her face? Nah, I don't use any of that!

...By the way, what's a Midgard? [Goku had meant to ask when Loki had mentioned it earlier, but he was distracted by all this talk about edible rainbows and hair gel.]

Males mostly do not use these smears. Unless they desire to look like females.

Not a Midgard. Just Midgard. You might call it Earth, right?
