Okura saw Rin working upon the engine, strapped to a elevated bench so he can make sure not to fall. Toya was currently looking over a small monitor and keyboard to try and program the user interface for the vehicle in question. Of course that all changed when the Saiyan daughter came into the work shop and told her folks that she was home.<strong>"Welcome home honey."</strong>Toyo said with a smile Okura climbed up to hang upside down and watch them work. The two of them were working upon a custom air car which was hopefully going to revolutionize how humans travel once it goes beyond Northern City. Not everyone can fly around after all but this car wasn't meant for a show or such. Quietly they had been planning to surprise her and for the moment hopefully Okura wasn't the wiser to the notion that this was<em>her</em>airfare. But they definitely didn't want her helping with this. Rin shook his head remembering who this went the last time.<strong>"No no, I believe we are perfectly fine Okura."</strong><br/><br/>She voiced how peckish she was since from the look of her she had definitely been out for a majority of the day training herself. The preliminaries were fast approaching after all.<strong>"Well, dinner is not ready... but I am certain that we can work up a good meal for you in no time. We had time to prepare in advance. Rin, I'll need your help with this."</strong>She lowered her harness so she could safely return to the ground. Much as they invest into their work, the two of them have become quite doting to their adopted child. Rin was smiling at Okura and he in turn pulls the lever to start the bench's slow decent down as he then asked Okura<strong>"So how was your day?"</strong>He asked since he had no idea where she had been or what she's been up to this whole time. After all, for all they knew, she couldn't fly and yet they were working on something special for her. They made no mention of it of course.<br/><br/>However with their daughter here, they would have to put their work on hold. She looked like she had a long day and Toyo could sense she wasn't exactly in the best of spirits. In her case Toyo took the moment to give a smile and hug her in greeting since she hadn't done so yet. However she pulled back after a moment and gave a doting rub to her cheek with a clean wet nap.<strong>"I think before dinner you need a bath young lady. Don't worry, dinner will be there for you when you get out."</strong>Going into the residence this gave Rin the time needed to finish up what he was working upon and come on into the house after freshening up to help his sister cook. It would be a two man job to feed the Saiyan within the time constraints of a wash. They had managed to thankfully come prepared since there was a large pot of bamboo shoot soup in the fridge. Alongside this was some pulled roast beef being warmed up alongside some mashed potatoes and an oven baked macaroni. In short a scrumptious fare though a bit more modest than Okura might expect.<br/><br/>Still once Okura joins them at the dining table, she could have a good heart to heart talk with her surrogate parents if she wanted or just talk about anything else on her mind. The remote to the television was right next to the monitor if she wanted to listen in on anything. Rin was serving up plates for Toyo and Okura this time.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>The farmer got a chuckle at knowing where to find some of these folks.<strong>"Kid if I knew that my wife might be asking me some questions. Sorry, but I wouldn't know where she'd would be hanging out. But with the news, your best bet for finding out about local martial artists is in the sports channels. Most of em are talking more about the tournament than battle ball here. My guess is since NC High is hyping up their top student, my guess is you'll find this Okura gal there."</strong>Fortunately for Cho the farmer was more than happy to be helpful in a different matter. He climbed into his vehicle and pulled out a map from the glovebox. Coming out with it, he opened it up and showed it off to Cho.<strong>"Forgot I had this in here, but now that you brought it up, this here tourists map was what I was using for a long while. Not anymore tho. Best place to get a roof over your head at a decent price for yer wages is here at the Kings Plaza Hotel. Yeah it is a deluxe hotel but they do have budget lodgings on the first floor. It'll be more noisy thanks to the in house restaurants and gambling den, but its a good place for what it is."</strong><br/><br/>With that, Cho was free to explore at his own devices. He was in a good location to start as well being in the tourist center of Northern City. Should he decide to start using his ki to sense energy he does however take note of a number of ki signatures. One of which was at the King's Plaza Hotel. Another was just a few blocks from here as well, and consoling the map it was at... the Puff Puff? What kind of a hotel name is that? Cho does know what that is and the lewd thoughts can commence. As he continued to explore he took note that a special sports announcement was being played upon the tourist district monitors. Should he decide to watch it something very interesting would be of note. Namely the unveiling of the special prize beyond the prize money. However he could sense another power level coming his way straight from Kings Plaza Hotel.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Rakutsu left the hotel and decided to have a walk around the tourist district of Northern City. Regulars and fans of the tournament mingled here, as street vendors tried their best to sell on the go food for hungry folk and pawn souvenirs to people with too much money to burn. It was around this time that the special news bulletin for the world tournament plays upon the districts many monitors. As he walked along, he could see another person roaming the streets that looked rather out of place. Looked like he was a traveling monk of sorts with his clothes. Of course it was up to him on whether or not to approach this man but with Rakutsu merely exploring, he didn't have to bother with it. In the meantime however he had to push through a bunch of people waiting at the crosswalks to move past the cars. It was crowded and almost a bit too close for one to be comfortable.<br/><br/>Whilst watching the television and recalling something important from his Grandfathers many lessons about this special prize at the tournament, he felt a hand slip into his pockets after someone shouldered past him. Noticing this, the keen martial artist tried to snatch the offending hand by his wrist but finds his hand catching naught but air as the person in question runs as fast as possible down the sidewalk in order to get away with Rakutsu's wallet! Naturally other people are suddenly getting pushed aside as the person tries to put distance between themselves and the fighter. What will he do?<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Sha in the meantime was dealing with might be his greatest challenge yet in Maron as she gave a bubbly giggle since she could tell from her experience and intuition this was a more pure hearted martial artists than most. Especially with such brutally honest questions and remarks after being properly distracted. She could not help but tease him a little.<strong>"Eyes down here hon."</strong>Maron was smiling at him as she began to explain the more important reason he was here.<strong>"Well I am sure a strong man like you can keep us safe whilst we work to excite and entice these healthy souls with our charms. You'd be protecting us ladies and the building from those whom would want to do more than look at us."</strong>Her fingertips run idly on his chest as she "walked" along his chest until she stepped back and gave a clap of her hands. The lights dimmed as another lady in lustrous blonde hair within a hell tigers pelt bikini came out wielding a large club with a sultry walk along the stage as the men hoot and hollar as she tossed the club behind her and began to demonstrate a rather nimble and alluring dance with a pole that  made absolute sure of what establishment Sha was joining up in.<br/><br/>Maron was smiling broadly whilst the dance continued and she took off the rabbit ears she had on and then spoke up.<strong>"The rabbit ears aren't the only things I can take off if you want to question if my tail is real or not."</strong>She teased with a playful wink as she then folded her arms under her chest to make certain to put her best front forward as she asked a more important question.<strong>"If you don't mind what work we do here handsome and are willing to get your hands dirty to keep the more unruly of customers off us, I can make it worth your while."</strong>She teases but the pay was indeed nothing to scoff at as she produced a check from her cleavage that would make one with more monetary related greed be really happy with the zenny that was on offer.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Dr Wijit was thrilled by the enthusiasm Resu shows and as the lights to the labs turn fully on, she took off her lab coat and dropped it over a work desk. She sits down and presses a button on the keyboard and monitor. She made quick with a energy bar for her. It was a brand called Korrin of all things and certainly not something she's familiar with.<strong>"Couldn't agree more. Now then. I understand you have access to an energy that is commonly referred to as ki."</strong>As she spoke, blast doors came down and a hatch opens up to a see through blast chamber. Seems as though Wijit was taking her job seriously.<strong>"First I would like to run some tests upon you and this ki and see if we cannot accurately measure the energy you produce and ready. I have plenty of targets per say to test with such power. That energy bar is for later when you are nearing your limits."</strong><br/><br/><strong>Please step on inside with your typical fighting attire on."</strong><br/><br/>Upon those words she brought up a program with a voice over<strong>"SCOUT is online. Good afternoon Doctor."</strong>She smiled a touch and the see through room alights with a hue of blue as data dances along the walls. She gave a thumbs up to Resu if she went in without questions and took the moment to speak through means of a microphone which carried her voice over with crystal clarity<strong>"Alright now, Resu, we are going to be starting your ki control tests in a few moments. When I count to three, I want you to begin channelling your ki as quickly as possible. Are you ready Resu?"</strong>Upon Resu's go ahead (which Dr Wijit waited on) she would begin counting. Her hand was flicking buttons one which made the room hum and begin displaying vitals of Resu's from heart rate to synapsis and finally the unknown number over her head which reads zero in terms of output.<br/><br/><strong>"Begin in one... two... THREE!"</strong><br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">If the television is turned on or you watched the television...</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>"This is Jimmy Firecracker here and we are just moments away from the unveiling of the prize available to our up and coming contenders who are eagerly waiting to knock Mr Satan off his throne. And while Jimmy Firecracker has his heavy speculations on such an outrageous statement, he is just trembling with excitement over the news."</strong> However the press is made silent as two people come out to wheel into place a veiled display case.<br/><br/>It was at this moment that a blond haired ring announcer with sunglasses came out with a smile on his own face. <strong>"Ladies and gentlemen of Northern City and around the world, thank you for coming! Mr Alonso, your ring announcer making an early appearance to speak to our newest competitors and longtime favorites alike. With the unveiling of this special prize I can assure this tournament shall be the most explosive one yet!

Bear witness to what could be yours!"</strong> Being a jewel case atop a red pillow sits a peculiar fire red orange gemstone shaped as a perfectly rounded sphere and within it was a small series of stars held within it. The gathering of the press snaps photos and gives audible gasp and ahhs about how gorgeous this gemstone was.<br/><br/>(roll 3d6+Mental+Mind and send the result to OOC)</div></div>
