To be fair, even if he hasn't increased his power level at all, he can handle the shade of Golden Monkey Kakara well enough.

But it'll be an interesting challenge.

Also, um. Well, let's just say that as far as I can tell, any super-saiyan who knows that the Golden Oozaru form is possible, can get the form, just by going super-saiyan when in oozaru form. So for all practical purposes we're teaching Jaffur the transformation.

Could be a nice quid pro quo for getting him to give us a few points on Jaffur Style.

The NPC I'm talking about is Jaffur, not Sensei.

That NPC is a desperate, immensely ducked-up child-antihero who has been locked in solitary confinement for years and knows absolutely nothing about the safety of any of this. If the players can't figure out that he might have some bad suggestions that's really on them. The GM has a reasonability to be true to the universe, not to play fairy godmother for the players.
 
I dunno. We're inside Jaffur's mindscape, after all. He's been a native here for four years. He might know more about how safe this specific place is than anyone else.
 
To be fair, I have repeatedly warned you all what may happen if you take me at anything more than the absolute literal definition of my word. :p

But regardless, I hope me reminding you again doesn't cause second thoughts, because the vote closed, as discussed, at 9:00 p.m.!

(Now that, that was me trolling. If you couldn't tell. ;))

Our winning lineup is a chat about the latest unsealing plan, a spar with power level restriction warnings and golden oozaru, and -- by the skin of its teeth -- Vegetan Social Protocol Seven squeaking out the win over hugging. Since I believe we've had enough of the, "to hug or not to hug," debate, "Hug," coming in with more votes than, "No Hug," means that, "No Hug," is permanently off the options list for this event chain, as are any clever variants thereof.

Question.

What is Vegetan Social Protocol Seven?

Is it Armageddon Initiative? I hope it is. :p

Use a Vegetan social protocol meant to convey comfort in times of emotional distress in place of an actual hug.

Well. Technically, Social Protocol Seven is a challenge to a death match in response to a mortal insult, but I know at what the players are driving, and in this case am choosing to be a merciful god. :p

What are Protocols 1, 2, 3, and 42?

I trust you to be sneaky, but I also trust you not to fall so much in love with your own sneakiness that you let it sabotage your ability to run a game.

....Wow. The voters for that really need to watch just what kind of crazy ideas they get.

To be clear, Poptart gave a reply that could be interpreted either as 'Protocol Seven is the hug-substitute' or 'there are seven hug-substitutes.' The latter was clearly intended to be correct, but the former was the one that the initial write-in voter used.
 
Nix's Warden said:
Now see, if we were playing Jaffur, that would be a IC option for us to take. Sadly Kakara will never know of Khorne's Glory unless it involves her being emotionally overwhelmed during a transformation.

You can make anything an IC option.

Just give our character a psychotic break.

Imagine it: Kakara, after years of toil and hard work, has finally been able to fully make contact with her rival Scion Jaffur, who she failed all those years ago. The events of the past several days, coupled with the stress (to free Jaffur) and self-loathing (for her failure) she's put herself through over the past several years, has caused her to snap.

What will she do next? Find out next time, on Dragon Ball Apocalypse!

See, for the longest time I thought you were joking or making it up on the fly; heaven knows I'd lose patience long before finishing that list.

Well, I do have it, but it isn't actually compiled in list format. I picked out three for that sample above in an order that sounded good. They're all actual protocols, though.
Blonddude42 said:
Can we have it? Or at least what Kakara can remember of them?

Please?

I would need to compile it, first. Be a while at it.
 
Headcanon:

There is also the secret Vegetan initiation ritual.

Namely, you have to be able to say "Vegeta Vegeta, Lord of Clan Vegeta" five times fast, while a Mind Delve-using elder makes sure there is not the slightest hint of humor in your brain.
 
Poptart once mentioned that they actually did a die roll on that to see if that would happen.

We had a chance of turning green, it just didn't come up.
