And here we go!

[Goku has turned out surprisingly sane in the last ten years, all things considered. He got his diadem back during that time and, at the prompting of many people, has worn it every day. Not that he minds. There's very little he minds.

Over the years he's calmed down. Growing up does that to you. He still drops by Sanzo's place and lets him sleep

... don't tell me- you got droned AGAIN!?

[mini_meatbun]

....

....

....

Yes?

[magique_bonbon]

Because you forgot to go to work again?

[mini_meatbun]

....

I think so?

[magique_bonbon]

Goku... honestly, you know better than that, don't you? What if the town drones you permanently over something like this?

[mini_meatbun]

It hasn't yet, Coquel-ane-chan! [He's been calling her and Metis "ane-chan" for years by this point, regardless of blood relation or how old they get.]

And it's not my fault I forget a lot! [Except it's public knowledge his "wife" is always reminding him and prodding him to go....]

[magique_bonbon]

[Oh man Coquelicot will never stop being ecstatic over having a "little brother." This is probably half the reason why she's ragging on the poor guy so hard.]

That excuse only works so many times over the course of ten years! And even if the town hasn't done anything really bad yet, haven't you thought about what MIGHT happen?

[mini_meatbun]

[Then this will be win once we start playing in the "proper" ages again and can have a family gathering, etc.]

"Might" happen? Like what?

There's still a lot about this town that no one knows about! Maybe you can only miss work a certain number of times before something horrible happens- or maybe the Milkman or Grady will start coming after you.

[magique_bonbon]

Besides, you know that there are... a lot of people who'd worry if something happened to you. Can't you be a little more careful...?

[mini_meatbun]

Well, yeah, but....

[He goes quiet for a bit.]

I'll try harder Coquel-ane-chan! I don't want Sanzo hitting me about this again.

[magique_bonbon]

... very good! Well, he'll probably hit you once he finds out about it anyway, but...

[mini_meatbun]

You'll hide me, right Coquel-ane-chan?

[magique_bonbon]

... fine, but just this one last time, okay? If you get droned again, you'll have to take responsibility!

[mini_meatbun]

Thank you Coquel-ane-chan!
