"I can't remember the last time I've been here. Okay, that's a lie. I remember clearly my last time being here. I killed that giant green thing that tried to hide behind a stalagmite." Reminiscing in old memories, the green-haired Saiyan chuckled a bit, sitting on the roof of a building. He hadn't been to West City in years, and it's good to see how well it's doing now. He wondered what had changed since his last visit, which he was sure he wasn't going to notice.
Getting tired of sitting, Tadeo jumped from the roof and onto the sidewalk. He started walking around, looking around at the buildings. He wanted to make his way out of the residential area. Floating up into the air, Tadeo looked around for the exit and into the main part of the city. Once he found it, he lowered himself into the city part and started walking from there. He was giving himself a tour of the city, seeing what it had to offer. Who knows? Maybe some day, he and Christel could go there for a while, taking a break from their normal life.
Having flashbacks to when he killed the giant green thing, Tadeo kept laughing on the streets. He sighed and put his hands in his pockets. "Ah, hiding behind a stalagmite when you're way too big for it. Classic! Thinking back on it, that was funny." The Saiyan continued walking around the city, giving himself the tour. He'd soon become bored of it. He also didn't hide his power level. Why should he? He was a Saiyan, and always happy to fight, or meet someone else that's strong. It seemed almost heretical to hide it, at this point.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Lizbeth Kruiza Power Level: 2,000 Current NPCs/Minions: Ruby Kruiza Current Effects: Semi-Transformation, Immortality, and Undetectable (Residue God Ki) Word Count: N/A Character Count: N/A OOC Notes: Lizzy is sitting in her Petshop/Cafe in West City, looking for people to actually stop passing up her shop. Text Colors: Lizbeth, and Sephirah
Lizbeth had just set up the shop for another day of business in West City, the Cafe half in the front of the store lighting up as the lights flicked on, revealing the tables and assortment of pet toys lining the walls on shelves, all priced with tags. The small white chairs were made of a cheap metal, though all the little shop keep could afford on the little paycheck she had, and Lizbeth would sit around the front two windows of the shop looking outside at her sign hanging by chains in front of the entrance.
The Neko Cafe and Pet Shop. Where you can relax with Tea, and leave with a Kitten
She was proud of the the little handpainted sign, and proceeded to walk back to the counter in the far back of the Cafe, where a small hallway behind it led to the animal rooms. She would release a small dog door below one to let her Black Panther out to start curling up into a ball on a small mat in front of the counter, falling asleep. Her main defense just s happened to be her favorite little creature out of all the animals at her shelter, a small Black Panther at only about half it's normal size. It was named Sephirah, as titled by the little sign above it's small cat bed in front of the counter, ready for customers.
"Hopefully today will be a good day for business, eh Sephy?"
"Meh, Whatever you say" The conversation would end, the woman understanding the cat's speech. That would end the talking, waiting on someone to come in.

As Tadeo continued his tour of West City, he stumbled across a pet store. Had he not double-taked with the sign, Tadeo would've just walked right in. However, upon sight of the sign, reading, "Neko Cafe and Pet Shop," along with a little motto or slogan, the Saiyan started debating actually entering. It was weird, a "Neko Cafe." Tadeo had heard the term before. He stared at it for a little while, only thinking of one thing. AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! FUCKIN' WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEBS!!!!!
The green-haired Saiyan continued staring at the sign. After a while, he sighed and walked in through the door. "If someone finds me here, I'm gonna kill them, and then myself." Tadeo opened the doors of the shop. As he walked in, one of the first things he saw was a black panther, sitting at the front of the counter. The Saiyan chuckled a little bit and smirked. Well, guess this place got some sort of an upgrade. Tadeo stepped in more and walked around the shop a little bit.
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
As Lizbeth would see the man who was outside enter, she having not been used to someone actually wanting to enter her shop, slightly surprised by his entrance, slightly excited, before looking up and seeing the man and feeling his raw power. She was surprised, scared, and slightly annoyed at it, but held herself back. She did not want to make assumptions ahead of time, and definitely didn't want something to happen because of a presumption. This man could turn out to just be anyone, and she definitely didn't want to be an asshole to her most recent customer.
"Good morning Nya! I hope you find whatever you want or need in my shop. We sell pastries, coffee, tea,all sorts of foods and beverages, as well as the pet shop past my stand." She would state aloud as he walked around, turning on the small spinning plates that lined the walls in their glass cases holding multiple different cakes, pies, and anything else logically mixed with chocolate.
Tadeo would notice a lack of Nekos or maids, seldom Lizbeth herself in the back with her two cat ears perched upwards on her head, slightly twitching from side to side for seemingly no reason. She herself has noticed a noise upstairs for a moment, looking back to little Ruby walk down the hallway that led to the back area in pajamas holding tightly onto a stuffed Lion, rubbing her eyes and stroking her hair, making sure not to get her finger caught in one of her own ears on her head. The little blonde girl would walk into the store area, perching herself on a small stool towards the front of the store, before finally waking up and coming to the realization that someone in the store actually had a pretty high power.
It was a power Lizbeth regretted her little child having, surprisingly Ruby was exceptionally good with Ki herself for such a young age, being only six years old and sensing Ki excellently. The little girl would smile before shuffling over to the man from behind, lightly tugging on his clothes to try and get his attention, her mother off towards the back of the store looking at some logging books, having not paid attention to where her daughter had gone. Lizbeth expected Ruby to know not to leave the store, and thus was intent that she would be fine.
"Heya mister. You are pretty strong, Nya. Are you one of the police?" Her clear trouble with language showing, despite having a pretty good pronunciation of every word she spoke despite being a mere child. She would proceed with a small purring sound from her throat, comforting herself due to her shy nature.

Tadeo slowly would start walking around the store, looking at the scenery. When the cat-girl-person spoke to him, Tadeo's eye twitched a little bit. His true emotion was expressed inside of him, though. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! As he continued to walk around, he began to notice how empty it was. The fact that there were no maids (which was kinda disappointing) and no Nekos (not disappointing to him) left only the store clerk herself as the only employee. Looking at the cat ears she had, the Saiyan saw them twitch. He raised an eyebrow a bit, thinking to himself. Woah, so they aren't fake? They're real? Does this mean she's like Skylar? Is she a Hiroshima, too? Wait, I think Skylar's more like a wolf. This girl here's like a cat. And she says that "Nya" shit that other cosplayers do, which is actually still really cringy.
Tadeo was suddenly stopped by a little girl. He looked down at her, and saw her cat ears. Not saying anything at first, Tadeo assumed that this girl might be the daughter of the store clerk. The girl in front of him suddenly asked him if he was a cop, after acknowledging his strength. Tadeo chuckled and replied to the little girl. "Nah, I'm not a cop. I'm just here sightseeing." The girl purred, which slightly made Tadeo uncomfortable, thought he didn't show it. It's actually kinda scary how these people are practically walking, talking, power level-sensing humanoid cats. Wait, this girl just sensed my power level. That must mean...
Still looking down to the little girl, Tadeo tried to sense for the store clerk's power level. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to sense it, and instead opened his eyes wide in fear. The Saiyan heard a lion's growl and suddenly began to feel extreme fear, just like when he sees one of Tuksen's men, or sees Tuksen himself. His fear then turned to anger as he thought about Tuksen, and he almost started spasming out like when he first turned into a Super Saiyan 2. TUKSE- Wait, no not Tuksen. That was weird as hell. I couldn't sense her power level, and instead I hear a friggin' lion's growl. Oh, great, the cat shit just keeps piling up! Even though the lion's growl did in fact scare him, he remained undaunted by anyone in the cafe/pet shop. He was now wary of its inhabitants, though, since the owner of the shop was apparently unable to be sensed in power level and had some kind of lion traits, the daughter or whatever she was knew about power levels and was also some kind of cat person, and the badass black panther in the middle of the room by the counter did absolutely nothing to trigger Tadeo or anything. In fact, it was one of the promising features of this shop. Tadeo's eyes went back to normal after he denied Tuksen being here, and he smiled again. "Excuse me, little one." Tadeo would attempt to move aside her and to the counter.
The cat/lion lady person, whatever, was behind the counter, doing something else. Tadeo looked at the black panther briefly, and then back to the counter, as he leaned forward on it. I wonder if they're selling that. I wonder how Christel would react to having one of these. I wonder how the kids would react to it. I'm sure they'd all approve. Except Penny, that fuckin' bi- "Hey, is it all right if I can go back there? I'm assuming that's the pet shop, right?" Tadeo would continue leaning forward on the counter, arms crossed under him. At this point, he'd much rather go to the pet shop part of the store, to see what they had to offer. He also had some personal questions for this store clerk. There were a few things on his mind after he tried to sense her power level, and after the kid mentioned his strength. I really hit the jackpot with this one, huh?
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Little Ruby would move aside for the man, wondering who he must be to be so strong in this world. She knew her mother used to be a really cool Earth defender once, but gave it all up to raise her. Maybe this man was the same? Or possibly the opposite. She would think it over while hugging her stuffed animal more and she would walk back to her small stool in front of the shop, looking out of the window while waiting for the food carts to appear in front of the store like usual.
Lizbeth, on the other hand, was slightly surprised at the direct manner of the man, calming herself enough to smile and lead him down the hallway with the many doors all lined with signs to represent their species and current 'stock' as a normal store would say.
"But of course. I apologize ahead of time if some of the babies are rowdy out of the creatures, my mother Lion, er, Panther or whatever you wish to call the black ones, just recently had children and I've been meaning to find homes for the little ones. All of them are black lions as well, though we have one Albino one who is a runt, though it bullies the other ones sometimes during feeding" She would say as she would guide the man down the hallway, Sephy crawling up at hearing of his young, and would walk ahead of them and crawl through the furthers door's dog door to go inside of his room. All of the rooms were relatively large, holding animals from Parrots, to dogs, cats of many breeds and species, and even some seals in an indoor pool. "The water dogs, those Harp Seals. They are very playful but expensive to care for. They also love splashing people with extremely cold water. I've started asking Ruby to give them their dinner in a protective suit because of how cold it can get."
She would lead a full guide, stopping towards the end of the hallway where some staircases would lead to her apartment above the store, including a trail of toys from the top of one staircase down to the ground floor. Lizbeth would look at the toys and shake her head, before returning to her customer, ready for whatever he had to say. She herself would make one last statement, before placing her arms behind her apron and stand there smiling, looking at the man lightly.
"Just say which ones you want to look at and I can oblige. I recommend one of the Tiger Cubs. Out of all the creatures here, they live the longest. Youngest one I've ever heard of dying of old age was twenty two years. Old Sephy over there is going on forty years himself and is as ripe as a Kitt." She would say, before looking Tadeo up and down. She scanned his features, and knew of his power. He most likely wanted to possibly get a pet for a friend, or maybe family? Rarely did someone who was in possible danger have pets themselves, though that is entirely an option. "We also have traditional pets as well in the forms of dogs, which are self explanatory if you've ever owned a dog or known someone who does."

When Tadeo was allowed to go into the back, he smiled a bit and walked through. He put his hands into his pockets and followed the girl down the hall. "Nah, it's all right. If I do decide to adopt one of em, it won't matter if they're rowdy or not." As Tadeo was shown his way through the hallway, the black panther from before made its way through them and into a doggy door at the end of the hall. He didn't make anything of that, nor the toys that were scattered all over the floor around there. He ignored them, not paying any mind to it.
Tadeo looked into the rooms with various different animals in them. Getting a water pet wasn't an option, even if it was a fish. The kids and Christel would get bored of it quickly, and probably forget to feed it. Plus, if any of Tadeo's family had to get into the cold water with the seals, they'd lose their shit by the fifth minute, or so. Those were a bad idea. While Tadeo's hotel guidelines say that you can't bring in a pet to stay with you in your room, it would be different if you were actually living in that room. Plus, Tadeo's father owned that place, so now Tadeo could do whatever he wants with it.
Unfortunately, even though he could just bring in a pet if he wanted, it'd be possibly, and very, controversial if he brought in a tiger cub, or anything around as "dangerous" as those. Of course, to Tadeo and his family, it would be nothing, and the kids could have a fun time with it. However, to Penny and literally every other non-superpowered human in existence, a tiger cub would grow up into something that could kill them. Even so, after spending time with Ki users, the tiger cub may become used to taking more beatings than it normally would if they weren't around them, making it a "super" tiger.
Tadeo kept his hands in his pockets and stood up straight, walking around a little bit more. He redirected his attention to the only maid in the shop. "I'll have to look at these a little more and think about it. I gotta small place back home and my family could be happy to get a pet. It's just we live with other people around, too, so it'd be a hassle having something like a tiger walking around." Tadeo would pause for a little bit, walking again. Then, he would ask his question, the one he was meaning to ask for a while. "You guys aren't just any normal anthromorphic human, if you're able to sense my energy, right?"
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
With his response, Lizbeth was about to sigh, but his mentioning of sensing energy set her off. She now knew for a fact that he knew they could sense Ki. Hell, he probably suspects something of them as well. It put her on edge mentally, though trying to hide it greatly on the outside, she would breath out for a moment, as if she was just caught stealing something.
"Well I knew this day would come. I can't stay buried for long, especially not since he started getting back into the bachelor scene..." Lizbeth would say to herself, scratching at her head in embarrassment. "To answer your question, no we aren't the average anthropomorphic family of cat people. Though I've been hiding it for years, I used to help defend the Earth long ago. I retired to raise my daughter you met in there-" She would say, gesturing back to the inside of the shop where Ruby would still be sitting, but now reading a book. "-I've been trying to raise her like a normal human, but as they say, Saiyan genetics are dominant. She wants to fight and win... I guess I can't really choose genetics all that well. Anyway, you are right with your assumption. I'm not sure what you hope to accomplish but I won't let you harm my daughter" She would begin to get defensive, thinking of the nightmares of Ki users taking away Ruby. All the bad thoughts and memories piling up. Lizbeth herself was unknowingly releasing her claws into her apron in the front, slicing through the fabric easily and leaving a small assortments of cuts in the coverall.
"Judging from yourself, I'd assume you are one of the specialized. I've seen those kind. The extremely powerful and unforgiving. I fought with someone who had access to the Super Saiyan Beyond A Super Saiyan form, Nya. Though it was a few years back, even my Super Saiyan form couldn't beat him. I was nearly killed in that encounter. I apologize if I seem hostile but I'm not the biggest fan of Ki trainers or users. The best and worst people in my life practiced Ki... even little Ruby's father. So forgive me if I misjudge, Nya."

Tadeo was pleased, hearing the girl in front of him talk about Ki. She was indeed not just any normal anthromorphic human being. The green-haired Saiyan smirked at this in delight. He kept his hands in his pockets, bowing his head a little. "I knew it. You and your daughter are really one of me, after all, huh?- Wait, what the shit? How old are you, anyway? You look my age." Tadeo glanced at the daughter, who is known as Ruby. She was sitting on the floor reading a book, and he raised an eyebrow in curiosity. Is this girl older than she looks, too? Is she as old as me? Or maybe she's older? Ooooookay, I'm thinking way too much into this.
Tadeo snapped out of it and redirected his attention to the maid in front of him. She started to get defensive, and her claws shot out of her fingers, cutting into her clothes. For some reason, she didn't notice it, which was kind of funny in the back of Tadeo's mind. At the same time, it was endearing, her commitment to her child. Tadeo has commitment for his children, as well, but he doesn't show it the exact same way as she does. It's more complicated. The Saiyan was about to get defensive, as well, but after he heard of her only going Super Saiyan, he decided against it. Sure, she may have gotten much stronger since that point in time, but Tadeo wasn't able to sense her energy. Not only that, but he had his foresight, just in case she tried something. He crossed his arms and listened to her, until she was done.
"Relax, I'm not gonna try and hurt you or your daughter. I'm not here for either of you, and honestly, before today, I didn't even know you guys existed. Besides, something tells me you're not nearly as powerful as me. I mean, I can't sense your energy, anyway, but if I'm concluding that you've still maintained your Super Saiyan form after all these years, and you haven't gone beyond it like I have, I don't have to worry about you. At least, for now." Tadeo uncrossed his arms and put his hands to his head, like what people do when they're trying to show friendliness to an enemy on the edge. Of course, Tadeo didn't see this woman as an enemy. "So, don't worry about me. I'm not gonna try and hurt you guys. It's all good. I mean, I'd probably get defensive if someone was possibly threatening my family." Christel can defend herself, though. And the kids can probably defend themselves. So, meh, who knows.
Tadeo put his hands back into his pockets. He hoped he was in the clear, after this. She didn't seem like she was going to attack, unless Tadeo really did provoke her. Maybe this was the start of a new connection. "By the way, who exactly are you? I've never seen a cat Saiyan person before. So, you guys must be really rare."
"I swear, I'm gonna eat your entire race." - Tadeo
"Tycho is no longer Tycho. Tycho is now little girl. Yes!" - Majin Tycho
"Stupid scouter, coming off my face like that! Where the fuck is it!? There it fucking is! Hah!" - Sarai
Lizbeth was relieved to hear he wasn't after them or had heard of them until this recently, which gave her a quick load off of her stress. However, his comment on her age was a confusing one. He didn't know much about her species, it was fine to explain, though she was slightly confused on how humans or saiyans had children.
"I'm, uh, twenty four years old. I gave birth to Ruby down there when I was eighteen since that is the normal for my species. We have two to three children by the time we hit sexual maturity and from there we usually just raise the children into adulthood. From there they leave off and have their own children, and so forth." she would say, before going into her species' rarity. Sure, she was a special case of her people, but she was still one of the few still alive. She felt someone should know about them at least. "As for how rare it is to see one of us, I'm the only one you'll ever meet. Unsurprising in this world, everyone in my family is dead as well as my species massacred by the Red Ribbon Army. I only managed to leave because I was stronger than the rest. Even I am not a pureblood as I have saiyan genetics. However, we were a secular group of non-humans living deep into the North. The wreckage of the village is still there in the snow, just crumbling wood by now..." She would say sadly, looking down at her feet. She used to visit every year, but stopped a year back due to the coming of fights and the issue revolving around the intergalactic wars. She was not a fan, but she didn't wish to harm her kid or herself.
OOC: Short post, sorry xD. Had to get ready. I'll make an even better next post. Don't worry.
