Let's see how this goes....

[An obviously young-sounding boy is on the phone. For a moment, his voice sounds far away until the voice of a drone woman tells him he's holding the receiver upsidedown, you hold it like this, dear. There you go. If you need me I'll be in the kitchen making cookies.]Hey! The nice lady here told me I can call my friends on this thing! Kooooonzen!

[Somewhere farther into the house Sazno was sleeping... until an obnoxiously loud voice started yelling random names that he'd never even heard before. He's awake now.]

You stupid monkey! [whack!]

[im_not_the_sun]

[But, wait... this monkey is smaller than usual. Come to think of it, this place doesn't look familiar at all.]

Hey... where the hell are we?

[mini_meatbun]

OW! [Clutches his head] Hey, Konzen, what was that f--

[Oh, wait. This man is like Konzen, but not Konzen....]

....You're not Konzen....

[im_not_the_sun]

Who the hell is Konzen?

[Oh, wait... that's the name that Homura and the Merciful hag keep calling him.]

What happened to you?

[mini_meatbun]

He's this grumpy guy who lets me stay with him! Only I dunno where he is! Where were s'pposed to go to a festival with Ten-pii and Ken-nii only I woke up here instead of on my futon!

What do you mean? Who are you anyway, Mister? My name's Goku! [He's very pleased to introduce himself.]

[im_not_the_sun]

[He gets down on his knees and looks you straight in the eyes.]

They must have brainwashed you. Or sent you back in time somehow.

[His hand sort of hovers over your head.]

You're definitely shorter.

[mini_meatbun]

[He looks started for a moment, about to ask what 'brainwashing' means, when....]

Hey! I'm getting taller! Not shorter! Ten-pii showed me I grew two centimeters since I started living with Konzen!

[im_not_the_sun]

Hmpf... well the last time I saw you, you were definitely taller.

[mini_meatbun]

Whaddya mean? I've never met you before, Mister. You're pretty like Konzen and you're grumpy like him, but I think I'd remember you!

[He even tries to point into Sanzo's face when he notices something and blinks.]

Hey, where'd those chains go?

[Now would probably be the time to notice even the diadem is gone. Mayfield has knocked Goku down to the level of a normal, if energetic, human child of his age.]

[im_not_the_sun]

I found you on top of a mountain when you were that size.

[And of course the chains are gone, because he took them off. But that doesn't explain the missing limiter. At all. So he might look at you funny for a while.]

[mini_meatbun]

[Goku goes rigid and backs away, looking a bit scared.]

YOU'RE ONE OF THE MEAN MEN WHO GRABBED ME WHEN I WAS SWIMMING AN' PUT THOSE CHAINS ON ME?!?!

[im_not_the_sun]

Why the hell would I put chains on you after I already took them off?!

[mini_meatbun]

You just said you found me on top of a mountain! The only mountain I've ever been on was Mt. Kaka! An' I was swimmin' one day an' these mean men grabbed me an' put chains on me an' told me there'd be food only they gave me to Auntie Kannon who gave me to Konzen an'--

[Pause.... Something doesn't add up....]

Only none of those men had pretty hair like you--Konzen was the first person I met who had hair like the sun! An' he has more of it! What's your name?

[im_not_the_sun]

[Not amused at all by your story. WTF are you talking about kid?]

I'm the 31st of China, Genjyo Sanzo.

[mini_meatbun]

[Oh, right! Manners!] Hi, Sanzo! I'm Goku! It's nice to meet you!

[im_not_the_sun]

[Just so annoying...]

I already know that.
