Ya know, it wasn't funny th' first time I had t' leave my friends to come here, and it's not now!

[ as long as it's been since Goku was on the Marsiva, it's lucky he still remembers how to use the communicator.

except it's upside down.

and he's just as loud as he was the first time, when he'd been running around yelling names.

feel free to turn the volume down...a lot. ]

Ya can't just take me away whenever somethin' important is goin' on! Take me back to Konzen!

[ the shackles he still wears clank around as he stomps on the ground. finally, he quiets down a little. ]

Did anyone ever find th' person that brought us? Take me to 'em an' I'll beat 'em up so we can go home!

Hey, Konzen, where'd all your hair go?

[ this is totally what's important here, right? ]

[bastardmonk]

You are.

[ He pauses, willing the twitch in his eyebrow to subside. ]

I'm not Konzen.

[hereticing]

...Is this some kind'a game? I don't get it.

[ if it looks like a Konzen and talks like a Konzen!!! ]

Where are Ten-chan and Ken-nii?

[bastardmonk]

What use would me playing a game be?

[ You only wish it was a Konzen. Stop projecting on me, monkey! ]

If by that question you mean 'where are Gojyo and Hakkai?' Hakkai's on another ship. Gojyo's not here.

[hereticing]

I dunno who those are.

[ poor goku just looks totally lost. ]

If you're not Konzen [ and it's pretty clear the tiny child DOES NOT BELIEVE U ] why do you look exactly like Konzen? You sound like him too! You're even all shiny and got the dot on your forehead.

[ there's actually some real distress creeping into Goku's voice, and he frowns. ]

Are you pretendin' to be someone else 'cause you're mad at me? Did I do somethin'?

[ Goddammit. He rubs at his chin, trying to figure out how to go about this. ]

Long story. You-- [ Nope. Take it down a notch, Sanzo. He sighs wearily. ]

I'm not mad. The only thing you did was have shitty timing. [ As per usual. ]

2/2

[bastardmonk]

[ It dawns on him rather belatedly that Goku didn't just hit his head or forget anything. People from different times and places are pulled into this shit hole. This Goku is clearly one that hasn't been imprisoned yet.

Especially since he's so damn hellbent on calling him Konzen Douji. How goddamn annoying. ]

Just know I'm a different person.

[hereticing]

I don't get it, but...okay!

[ clearly Konzen is just being silly or something. SO LIKE THE SWEET CHILD HE IS, GOKU WILL HUMOR HIM FOR NOW. because it's late and tbh he's tired and hungry and Not Up For This Right Now. ]

If you're not Konzen, who're you? I'm called Goku!

[bastardmonk]

I know who you are, Goku.

[ Oh, small Goku. So much has happened, and you don't even know. Truthfully, Sanzo's not going to enlighten him, either. ]

[ ... ]Genjo Sanzo.

[hereticing]

You have a really nice name but you don't make any sense, Mister! You say you're not Konzen, but I don't know a Sanzo that looks like Konzen, but you know my name?

My head hurts...

[bastardmonk]

Do you know another Sanzo Priest?

[ ... ]

[ Muttered, ] Don't hurt yourself thinking too hard.

[hereticing]

What's a priest, though? Can you eat it?

[bastardmonk]

[ ex h a le ] No, Goku.

Priests are authorized to perform the sacred rituals, acting as a mediary between humans and the gods. A Sanzo priest is charged with protecting one of the Founding Scriptures of Heaven and Earth.

[hereticing]

So you do somethin' for th' gods?

[ that's pretty much all he took from that. ]

[bastardmonk]

[ .... ]

[ He sighs wearily. ] I talk to them. Accomplish the tasks they can't.
