Have You Seen This Robot? Sulfur's PL: 1,000 | TURO's PL: 20,000
Ah, central city! Such a lively place it was. As you know, the more livelier a place is, the more... louder it is. Sulfur was currently suffering from the many noises that this city had to offer, like people talking and the various cars honking. TURO knew that his master was in pain whenever she winced and whined, her sensitive ears getting the full brunt of these noises. "O-Owww... I should definitely buy some ear muffs later o-or something. I never seen this city b-being so busy before!" The avali said, letting out a loud whine whenever a nearby truck honked its horn. It didn't really help whenever the man in the truck started yelling at the cars in front of him, which only encouraged more cars to honk!
Sulfur decided that she needed to sit down on a bench, becoming slightly delirious whenever the ringing in all four of her ears began to get louder. "I-I need to sit down. Ugh, this is why I don't like coming here whenever it's i-in the afternoon on a workday..." Traffic in this city, or in any city really, becomes really bad later on after everyone begins coming back home from work. The avali lets out a loud groan as she went and grabbed her ears, pulling on them a bit and somehow expecting it to help stop the ringing. "Like, I get headaches a-and everything, but this is something e-else... R-Right, TURO..?"
Whenever she went to look at her robot, he wasn't there. "TURO?" Sulfur slowly got up from the bench and turned her head up towards the street, seeing no sign of where the robot has gone off to. "Um... T-TURO?" Sulfur would begin to ignore the ringing in her ears as she began walking up the street, a worried expression soon forming on her face. Where did he go off to?
Little did the avali know, TURO was doing his own thing for now.
TURO was currently sitting by some sort of video store, where it was featuring his favorite mech show yet: Mech Wars! Being his size (and having short, stubby arms), all he could do was mash his face up against the window in hopes that someone will come out and open the door. The velociraptor robot waited and waited, until some human child would begin making his way to the front door! With an excited, electronic scree, TURO would immediately make a mad dash to the door whenever the child opened it, managing to slip by unnoticed.
The robot would soon begin looking around the inside of the video store, searching for anything that had the title 'Mech Wars' on it.
OOC: Decided to try something new. Sorry if my wording is off.

Tarch PL: 20,000
It was a peculiar feeling for this young saiyan to be wondering around Central City. He’d lived there for his first four years or so of life, and barely remembered any of it. It was a stark contrast to the South City he knew like the back of his hand. Today though he found himself on the phone with a friend, who had given him a very particular gift card for his birthday. It was for a video store that unfortunately closed in the south, but was going strong in central. Tarch himself was on the phone talking to said friend who used to frequent this store quite often when it was still in business. “Yeah, I can’t seem to find it. You sure they’ll have the original Captain Nova show? Not like the crummy remake from when I was in first grade? Oh it was bad and you know it! Whatever, I just really want to see the original before they remake it again on Drag’N’Flix. Ok I’ll check.” As Tarch was hanging up his call, he failed to notice a tiny metal raptor making its way around the store like a speeding bullet. The hybrid practically flung himself face first onto the ground, trying to keep both his phone and the robo dino from getting broken. “Owww…” He rubbed his forehead, taking a moment to look back at the little guy.
“Oh! Sorry about that little guy! I didn’t see you there. Are you okay boy?” Tarch went to give the raptor a little pat on the head, figuring it must’ve been someone’s pet. “Where’s your owner little buddy?” he asked in a more high pitched tone than usual. People always seemed to have a completely different tone around animals, Tarch being no exception. Now normally the average shopper would be a bit more freaked out over seeing a dinosaur in a video store, but a, it was so small how could it possibly be harmful, and b, Tarch grew up in the mountains, where full sized dinos had their way with the place, this little guy was nothing to worry about.

"This is an okay burger," Nashua thought as she walked out of McBao's, a big, greasy burger with a large bite taken out of it in her hands. It wasn't exactly the best burger the Saiyan had ever had, though she admittedly only started eating burgers when she had first arrived on Earth a few months before, but she had certainly had better. And worse, actually. The beef was kind of stringy, but the condiments and tomatoes were pretty on point. And then the lettuce was, well, lettuce. And the buns were kind of soggy. Still, the Saiyan was hungry, and took another big bite of the glorified sandwich as she walked down one of Central City's many streets. She'd only been to Central City a few times before, but nothing of interest had ever really happened, unlike most of the other places she'd been at at that point.
It was actually kind of dull to not have any sort of thing to do. Nashua was used to zipping around from exciting thing to exciting thing, but just walking down the street and eating a burger as her tail lazily swished from side to side was less than exhilarating. "Let's see," she mumbled, lowering the McBaorger from her mouth and taking a glance around to find some kind of point of interest. There was a human in a suit talking loudly on his phone about how he was going to "sue this company and everyone in it". That was nice of him, Nashua thought, she'd never had anyone sew her anything before. Maybe he'd make them all nice hats or scarves. Nothing of use she could do with that one, though. The Saiyan averted her golden eyes to look elsewhere.
It took her a minute until she spotted a tiny little furry creature with giant ears worriedly wandering around, calling out a name. She watched it for a few seconds as she took the last few bites of her burger, then stuck her fingers in her mouth to lick off the bits of grease and ketchup that were left over. Was the small child looking for its parents or something? Nashua could totally help with that. "Hey, little guy," she said as she approached in as friendly a voice as she could muster. "Are you lost? Are you looking for your parents?" Once she got close enough, she bent over and put her hands on her knees, though even then her eye level was a bit above the very short zoanthrope. "I'm Nashua," she said, putting her hand on her chest. "What's your name, buddy?"

Saizo PL: 36,000
The sun shined off of Saizomaru's recently cleaned armor, which brought an equally bright smile to his face. He had spent many hours cleaning all of the titanium chassis of its dirt and rust from the Northern climate—a place that would be a thousand years too soon if he ever went back.
Soft pads from otherwise hefty boots thudded against the pavement as he made his way down the street. Central city was one of the most highly rated in terms of tourism, not just for its sights but also for its commercial offerings from restaurants to convenience stores to even the most niche of products. One of the android's favourite was E7—a huge almost supermarket-sized store that specialized in electronics.
Saizomaru passed by the window of the huge store, perusing through whatever was on display on the stands behind it. He stopped for a moment, looking at the box of one of their products. "Jeez, they've released the BaoForce thirteen-hundred T.I. already?" He hummed as he placed a thumb on his metal chin. "Right, gotta pick that up a little later, me thinks…"
He turned away from the window and continued down the street until he came across a pedestrian crossing. The android had barely taken two steps onto the white-striped asphalt before nearly being run down by a sports car that turned the street corner way too fast than what was legal. The hover car came to a sudden stop, lurching forward from the sudden de-acceleration.
A half-bald man leaned out of the open window of the driver's side door and yelled out, "Hey! Why don'tchya watch where yer walkin', ya stupid idiot!"
Saizomaru let out a large sigh. He looked down by his side, seeing the front bumper of the man's car only inches from his leg. He continued to walk across the crossing, but then turned towards the vehicle. Getting to the driver's side door, a metal hand reached in through the window, unlocked the door, and then opened it. He reached in with both hands, grabbing the man by the collar of his polo-neck shirt and pulled him out of the vehicle. Shoving him away from the car, he put an arm around the man's shoulder.
"You see that, right?" asked Saizomaru in a rhetorical manner as he pointed at the striped white lines on the road. "I might need a second opinion. That's a pedestrian crossing right? Y'know, the crossing where pedestrians have right of way?" Before the driver could respond the android tugged him backwards with one hand. "Do both of us a favour and get out of my face and get back into your car before I put you back in through the roof."
The man stumbled back and hurriedly got back into his vehicle, closing the window just in case.
Shaking his head, Saizomaru continued across the street to the other side. "Jeez, seems like anyone with at least two brain cells to rub together can get a licence nowadays…"
A few minutes later Saizomaru found someone very familiar—and another unfamiliar face—down the street. Yo! Fluff alien!" he called out to Sulfur as he joined the duo. "Good to see my little student's found a new friend." He turned to the other individual, giving a quick glance at her furred tail. "And a saiyan, too."
Sulfur Like a true cool guy, Sai joins the party late! =D

TURO was promised Mech Wars.
But there were no Mech Wars.
The robotic velociraptor walked around the shop, scanning the shelves for any sign of his favorite franchise. He did read the sign outside the store, and it did say that there was a massive sale going on, which included all the seasons, figurines, and movies! But there wasn't any on the shelves... it's as if the store was lying! He had to double check and make sure that he didn't miss anything. The robot would begin circling around the store, scanning the shelves repeatedly as he walked. He was sure that there was SOMETHING about Mech Wars around here, and if not, he's gonna talk to the manager abou- Oh wait, nobody can understand him besides Sulfur. Well crap.
As he walked around, he wouldn't notice someone getting in front of him. He lets out a surprised beep whenever he collided with the person, freezing whenever the person fell down. The robot immediately came to their aid however and walked over to them, extending a... tiny metal hand. TURO tries his best, okay?! The plexbit looked up at Tarch whenever he got up, a little concerned that the kid was hurt. He beeped a few times and nodded whenever he was asked for his condition, and in return he would beep a few more times.
Once he was asked the question on the whereabouts of his owner, the robot would just freeze. He entirely forgot about Sulfur. TURO would beep a few more times however and nod, his pixelated eyes shrinking as he himself became a bit distressed with the fact. After a few more beeps and boops, he would point towards the store door.
Mech Wars shall wait for now.
"TUUUUURO! WHERE ARE YOOOOU?"
It's been 20 minutes since Sulfur began her search, which meant that she's been wandering around in the streets, yelling out his name for nearly half an hour. Her throat was beginning to hurt from all the yelling, as well as her legs from all the walking she's done. Why would her beloved robot go ahead and do this? Like, she sorta expected this to happen one day, but she's never done something just in case it happened. All she knew was whenever she finds him, she's getting him a leash.
The bird would walk deeper into the city, where it was a bit less noisy and crowded. A sigh escaped Sulfur as she rubbed at those fluffy ears of hers, "Sheesh, what a relief... I should rest or something." The avali slowly came to a halt however once a saiyan approached her...
What they would say only caused Sulfur to just glare at them silently. After they were finished asking their questions, the avali would clear her throat, "First, I'm not a guy. Second, my parents are in a different planet. Third, my name is Sulfur and I'm a grown adult; 19 in fact." It's been a long while since someone actually called her a kid. Like, a LONG while. At least they thought of her as a person instead of a pet though. "But anyways, I am kind of lost. I'm also looking for my companion, but I can't find him..." Sulfur said, sighing, "He's a robotic velociraptor, just about 2 feet in height... Have you seen anything like that?"
Sulfur's ears twitched whenever she heard a familiar voice, looking towards the source of it and smiling. Her favorite android was here! "Oh, hey Saiz! Didn't know... you were gonna be around here!" The avali exclaimed, giggling quietly. "But uh, if you're here about training, I can't right now... I can't seem to find TURO anywhere. It's like he just disappeared." Yeah, and that's all she knew on what happened to him. Sulfur's ears would droop down while she began frowning, "I dunno why he would leave me to begin with, which is the only thing that's worrying me. I dunno if I did something wrong or..."

“Yep, I’m okay,” the teen instinctively responded to the raptors beeps. Tarch was now kneeling in front of the tiny robotic lizard. It seemed he was just as concerned for the saiyan as the saiyan was for him. The little bot let out a few satisfied beeps in reply to whether or not the raptor was ok. “Oh, ok good, I was worried I hurt you, little guy.” He did, however, jump back a little when the litter robosaur began to panic upon noticing his owner was missing. “Hey hey!” he soothed just a little too loud to be of any real comfort, “it’s ok! We’ll find them. I’ll help you look alright?” he offered his own hand, which was already ten times more effective than when the raptor tried first. The little guy then pointed towards the door, beeping a few more times. “Yeah sure, I can get that for you.” So he did, letting the robo raptor go ahead so the two can begin their search.
Now, of course, one thirteen year old saiyan couldn’t possibly know what he was looking for right off the bat, especially when the city he really knows well is located on the southernmost part of the world, so he decided to ask the bot a few questions to help their little hunt going. “Alright, so what does your owner look like? Do you remember where you last saw them?” It was basic, but a perfect starting point. Although the saiyan did forget one important detail. “Oh! I’m Tarch by the way, what your name?” It might not necessarily help in finding his owner, but it would perhaps put the dino a little more at ease if they kept up some sort of conversation rather than just searching in awkward silence.

Fluff alien? Nashua glanced up at whoever had just shouted that at the Zoanthrope to find a rather oddly menacing android man approached the pair, complete with the edgy, long, white hair and facial scars. "Couldn't he just get those scars repaired?" was the first thought in the Saiyan's mind as she stood up, finding he was a fair deal taller than her even at her full height. "Hello," she said politely, bowing her head slightly at the newcomer. He kind of reminded her of one other man, a bio android who'd also had long, white hair that she'd met a while back, but this new guy at least wasn't assaulting random pedestrians for minor acts of rudeness like the other guy had been, right? "I'm Nashua, like I was just telling 'fluff alien' here," she added to the Android.
As for the fluff alien's reply to Nashua's offer of assistance, the Saiyan was a little taken aback when she was immediately met with some venom. This little thing was nineteen? That was how old Nashua was! And she could probably fit three Sulfurs inside her with room to spare! At least Nashua had been right about the looking for someone part. "A robot velociraptor?" Nashua raised an eyebrow at the thought. She knew what a velociraptor was, vaguely, but a robot velociraptor? That was completely new. "What does a little gu- Er, what does a, uh, big strong bird woman like you need a robot velociraptor for?" she asked, catching herself before she insulted the bird girl's small stature again. Maybe that wasn't the smoothest save, but it still counted. Nashua glanced around the bustling city, as cars roared past on the street and people walked about.
No sign of any metal dinosaur here; they'd definitely have seen or heard it if it was nearby. Kind of hard for something like that to go full incognito, even in a big city like this. "Well," Nashua said, still glancing around the area for some kind of clue. "It'd be useful if one of you had a scouter so we could pick out high energy signatures in the area." The Saiyan had been planning on buying one for herself sometime, but just kept spending money on food or other things instead. Or she'd just forget to. "You're a high tech robot guy, right?" she asked, turning her attention over to the big Android who Sulfur had called "Saiz". "You must have some kind of tracking program or built in scouter thingy, yeah?"

Saizo PL: 36,000
Saizomaru gave a smile as he looked between his little student and their mutual acquaintance. He gave an anxious chuckle when the saiyan took a bow of respect—while flattering, it was unneeded. He waved a hand upwards to gesture her to rise. "Okay, okay, raise your head," he said in an embarrassed tone. "S'no need for that sort of courtesy, Nashua. I mean, li'l fluff bird here has to cuz I'm her master, but you don't need to."
He turned to Sulfur and let out a light hum as he crossed his metal arms across his plated chest. "Well I don't plan on training you in the middle of a busy city. Don't need randoms thinking we're a bunch of clowns. Still—" he looked around the area, past the park and through the tall concrete jungle of the immediate area, with a finger and thumb on his chin "—Turo disappearing is pretty strange. Maybe. I mean, robots tend to go walkabouts, right?"
Saizomaru caught earshot of the young saiyan questioning him. He gave her a glance with a raised brow. "Tracking program? Sure, got one of those. But mechanical constructs aren't exactly the easiest things to keep track of." He sighed and let his arms drop by his sides. One arm raised to brush the bangs of hair that frames his face from out of his eyes. "Probably woulda been smart of me to get a scan of Turo's electronic frequency so I could track him. I'll have to keep a mental note to do that when we find him."
The android shrugged with a light hum. A small smirk crossed his lips as an idea came to mind. "SUlfur… When we first met, you mentioned that Turo liked a particular show, right?" He turned his head and looked back down the street to the second block away. "I passed a video store showing some new mech anime… thing. Did you happen to pass by it on the way here? You reckon he might've split from you there?"

It was good knowing that someone was gonna help him. Like, he knew that Sulfur wouldn't last 30 minutes by herself in a city... so just knowing that his owner was at risk in being mugged scared the little robo. Whenever the younger saiyan went ahead and open the door for him, he would let out a couple of beeps, thanking Tarch before going ahead and walking out of the store. Immediately after they took a step outside, the robot would begin scanning the area around them. But due to there being multiple people in one area, it was impossible to have a clear scan of his owner's wherabouts. With that plan marked off, the robot would beep sadly.
TURO looks up at the saiyan whenever they began asking him questions, responding with multiple beeps. He even gave Tarch a couple of visual examples, like doing a couple of bunny ears. Whenever he was done explaining the avali's appearance, he would go ahead and share his name by, of course, beeping. The robot would go ahead and explain where he last saw her, before going ahead and making his way over to a bench that was just across the street.
Will Tarch and TURO be able to find this missing person? Find out next time on Robo Mischief!
Meanwhile, in Sulfur's perspective...
Sulfur was currently debating whether or not she regretted talking to Nashua and her Master. Did he seriously have to call her that? Like she didn't mind it whenever it was just the two of them, but whenever it's out in public? UGH! The avali stood there in silence as Saiz spoke to Nashua, her feathers fluffed up slightly while she listened.
But as the topic of TURO came up, the avali would go ahead and give her thoughts of the situation. "I have no clue why he would just go off and leave without telling me! Like he sometimes wanders off, but it's usually not far off." Sulfur replied before looking over at Nashua, "And he's my friend! Plus he helps protect me when I'm in danger and a bunch of other stuff. I can't replace him or anything either, so don't even consider that as an option." The avali said with a huff but began to listen as the conversation switched over to the topic of scouters.
"I'll make sure to remind you to... do whatever you need to do with TURO once we find him. But yeah, robots aren't exactly the easiest to scan." Sulfur added, but as Saiz went ahead and mentioned TURO's liking towards that one mech show, she would begin to remember something. "Yeah, he likes that show and I do remember seeing one video store just today featuring that sho- I'm an idiot." She blinked once realizing where TURO might've gone off to.
"You guys, uh... wanna come with me and help find my robot then? I'm sure that video store isn't far from here, so all I have to do is backtrack!"

Tarch nodded along to the raptors beeping and booping, the picture becoming clearing with each blip. “I see. A little guy, err girl named Eerie, big ears, big eyes. Lottsa big features on a little body. And feathers and a tail. Well I can’t imagine a bird alien would be TOO hard to find.” A few more beeps, as if he had any other way of communicating, the robot would introduce himself. “Turo? Like T-U-R-O?” he spelled aloud just in case he misheard. “Anyways it's nice to meet you TURO. Now, how about we check at that bench you were talking about.”
The saiyan looked back and realized he had already walked a fair distance before learning the bots name. So, of course, he would do a little spin on the spot, pointing dramatically back the way they came. Now the only issue was, Tarch being a bit of a goody-goody always tried to follow the rules, at least away from home. So before making their way back, the teen would usher the metal dino over to the crosswalk over at the nearby corner. “You know,” Tarch began, hoping to stave off any awkward silences, “my dad always said that if you’re lost you should sit and wait for someone to find you. That never made any sense to me though. I mean how are you gonna find someone if you’re not moving right? Plus if you ran off first, wouldn’t it make more sense for her to stay in one place? I dunno, I’ve never really been lost before. I just think it makes more sense to keep moving than to possibly have both of you holding still y’know?” The thirteen year olds logic certainly had something to say about his upbringing. Unfortunately, he didn’t stop to think about what could happen if BOTH parties decided to move.

It was admittedly kind of funny to the Saiyan when the Android became flustered at her polite bow, a small chuckle escaping through her mouth as she complied with his slightly panicked request to stop with the formalities. "Alright, then," she replied, glancing back and forth between the birdlike creature and the robot man. Apparently, the two were in some sort of master and apprentice relationship, which was slightly... Odd, to say the least, but Nashua wasn't one to judge. The tracking program idea seemed like a bust, and Nashua did recall hearing sometime before that Androids tended to be difficult to sense without the use of a scouter, given that their ki signature was artificial. The white haired man did have an idea that might have been wort pursuing, though. "An anime store?" Nashua asked. "That's like those flashy cartoons and stuff, right?"
"And, uh, of course he's your friend!" she responded to the defensive little bird woman as she received some not so cheerful remarks from the alien. "I don't think losing track of him is any reason to go replacing him either, of course, though this is a huuuge city, so finding him is gonna be hard..." Nashua mumbled back, scratching her head as she considered the options. It seemed like the video store was their best bet, and Sulfur agreed as well. "Yeah, sure," Nashua replied, "I got nothing better to do today, unless you count training by punching the air by yourself a lot." Her usual sparring partners were somewhere else on Earth, and the Saiyan didn't really feel like going through all the hassle that tracking them down and finding a location to spar required. She could always do that later, regardless.
"The video store is, uh, that way?" she asked, pointing down the street in the direction Sulfur had initially come from. "You said you'd just need to backtrack for it, so you're probably the one who'd best know where we'd be able to find it." The Android had said he'd passed it too, though, while Nashua was the only one who hadn't actually seen the place. She probably wasn't the best person to lead the way for the group, in that case. "Well, since you saw it too," she added, glancing back over at Sai, "You can probably take us there if you want. I'd, uh, probably just get lost, but I can uh, make idle chitchat with the group so we don't get bored while we look!" That was certainly the most important thing anyone could contribute, right? "So, how do you two know each other? Some kinda karate class or yoga?"

Saizo PL: 36,000
Saizomaru hummed as he listened to the bird alien speak. When she was done, he let out a gentle sigh and placed a hand on her head, rubbing between the top pair of her ears with two fingers. "No one said you had to replace him," he spoke with a light smile. "Besides, I'm fairly sure he can take care of himself. he is a robot dinosaur after all."
The android kept himself quiet while the other two girls contemplated on where they were going. He couldn't help but give a small smirk at Sulfur's realization of where TURO was. A small chuckle escaped his lips, unable to keep him amusement in. "Took ya long enough," he spoke as he took his hand away from the alien's head. He shifted his attention to Nashua and gave her a light nod. "Sure, I don't mind taking the both of you there. Got nothing else better to do right now."
He turned away and began to trek back down the street where he had come from. "Just follow the tall shiny man and you won't get lost. Simple, right?"
He waited for Nashua to catch up close by before he answered her last-spoken question. "We first met in the countryside outside of one of the cities. Our introductions were… unorthodox, to say the least. We got to talking and, when she said she wanted to get stronger, I took her in as my student. She's talented, but she's got a lot to learn."
