[Voice / Morning]

Welcome to Luceti, New Feathers!! And good morning to all the... Old Feathers?

[All of those who aren't new basically.]

My name's Son Goku, pleased to meet ya! I take care of the okonomiyaki restaurant near the fountain, if you haven't ever had any you should come and give it a try, I promise it's really tasty and good! Ucchan's Okonomiyaki restaurant always has the best okonomiyaki in the village.

[Let's ignore the fact that it's the only place with okonomiyaki in the menu.]

Ah, I also wanted to ask if there are any home tutors or something available. [There's a bit of a long pause before he resumes.] Long time ago I asked for help because I wanted to keep learning and getting better at writing and reading and maths and other things, but... Most of the people who offered to help and helped me have been sent back to their worlds. I want to learn more, niisan says I'm getting better with my handwriting but I know it's still messy and there are still many words I don't know how to write well and many difficult words to read in books.

But I don't wanna go to the school. So no school, but I want help to learn more, pretty please! I can make delicious okonomiyaki for you in exchange!

[Making the deal sweeter with food, that should work, right?]

[Action / Evening]

[At early evening, Goku closes the restaurant, deciding that he has worked enough for the day. After that the kid will be seen around playing by himself despite the cold, making orange paper airplanes and throwing them around before chasing after them. At least until droids appear and attack the kid, knocking him out before he can do much more besides scream and dragging him away.]

You can? Really? That's great! I know some basic maths too but if you only want to help me with reading and writing that's fine. I can try to find someone else for maths and such.

What's your name?

[voice]

[sailedfirst]

Well, let's see what we can work out. I'm just more confident with those two since I'm aspiring to write my own book. And can't do that without knowing how to read and write, na?

Ah, the name's Sabo! You're Goku, right? Good to meet you!

[voice]

[the_brightest_sun]

You want to write a book? About what?

[He's honestly interested in that.]

Nice too meet cha, Sabo!

[voice]

[sailedfirst]

[He's glad you're interested. This is something he's happy enough to share about.] My adventures out in the sea. About all the places I'll visit and all the experiences I'll get from 'em.

Ah, but that was back home. The ocean's kinda small here, so I gotta improvise.

[voice]

[the_brightest_sun]

We have a big forest, why not make it about your adventures in the forest?

[Pauses, actually Sabo has made him realize something.]

How is the sea? Is it as blue as in the pictures?

[voice]

[sailedfirst]

Ah. See, I grew up in a big forest too. So I already know what adventures to be had there. It's still fun, I guess, but it wouldn't be new.

[He stares at his journal in surprise. Goku hasn't seen the sea yet?] Well, I wouldn't know about pictures, since I've always been in sight of one. [Pauses.] There's a sea just beyond this village. You haven't been there yet?
