[Gohan looks considerably happier today. That is, when you can finally see his face once he pushes aside precarious-looking towers of dirty dishes. But at least he has manners enough that he'd wiped his face first, so he doesn't look a mess himself.]Hey, everyone. I'm really sorry I was such a downer for the past while. I hope I didn't make

[He's out under the trees, his sword across his knees, the wind blowing through his hair.]

I am glad to see you well and to hear that you took the test. It will be very important to all of us.

[hybrid_prodigy]

[He shrugs.] Well, it seemed like the thing to do. I actually missed a couple questions, but that was probably because I still wasn't feeling great that day. I still passed really easily.

Hm. Excuse me a second.

[He goes off screen for moment, but after a few seconds his voice drifts across the room.] Darn. I guess I already ate those.

[And he's back.] Anyway, I just woke up feeling really good today. Finally eating normally and everything. I wasn't having that much the past while.

[An arched eyebrow. Mostly, he's amused.]

No one was expected to do perfectly. Do you know why you were so depressed?

[video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Yep, he's back to being unintentionally adorable, now.] I'm just used to getting perfect scores, I guess.

[He shakes his head at the question.] No, I'm still not sure.

I took it too! It was a little weird to be becoming a citizen after such a short time, but...

[video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

Yeah, I know. But it seemed like a good idea. It can only help things, right?

[video]

[serratedwings]

I hope so.

[...but here's the actual reason he answered:] Did you say you could fly?

[video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[Naturally!] Yeah, I can.

I went grocery shopping last Thursday. [Soul's hair is pinned back by a headband, given the length it grew to when he was turned ten years older, and he turns away from the NV to pull a load of cupcakes out of the oven.] Do I gotta pick up some things on the way home?

[video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

[He sounds slightly sheepish, but nothing like how down he was this past week.] Um . . . might want to pick up everything, actually. I was . . . kinda hungry today.

[video]

[brbomnomsouls]

[He raises an eyebrow slightly before he grins, letting a workmate take over.] Feelin' better, huh? I'll probably be off in the next half hour or so.

[video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

Feeling a lot better. Thanks.

[He looks at the stacks of dirty dishes. Each one is piled a good two feet taller than he is.] I guess I should wash these so there are actually clean dishes in the house when you get home.

Glad to hear you are feeling better now.

[hybrid_prodigy]

Thanks, Danny.

So how do you think you did on that test?

[Video]

[hybrid_prodigy]

Oh, they scored those right away. I missed a couple questions, but I passed really easily. Makes me an official citizen now.

[madeinoblivion]

I had other things to take care of.

[voice]

[hybrid_prodigy]

Well, I'm sure they were really important. I didn't really feel like doing anything else that day. [He'd barely felt like even doing that much, but he'd dragged himself out of the house.]

Re: [voice]

[madeinoblivion]

Was the test easy?

[voice]

[hybrid_prodigy]

I missed a couple questions, but I think that's just because I wasn't really feeling up to much then. It wasn't hard.
