[Objectively speaking, Bulma is sure she has been in worse situations than what being stuck in Luceti means. But she's also sure she has been in better situations than this. It's sincerely irritating, the lack of technology around makes it hard for her to do... Anything basically. They can't really expect her to just sit and do nothing, right? But either way, there has to be a way to get materials to build some proper technology, what about those teleporters? They weren't brought from nowhere, where they?

And what's up with that draft? Sending people to war, even people who can't fight at all? What kind of retarded military Commander thinks such a thing? She could have understood it if they sent soldiers, or at least adult men, but from the looks of it they even sent children and helpless people. Makes her wonder what will happen if she has enough bad luck to be sent there without Goku around. If only she could build her machines, or find a way out of there...

Bulma has been rolling and pulling at her hair for awhile, in the room she has designated as her laboratory at the house she claimed as her own with Goku, when she finally sends a message. She's not really sure if anyone will answer, or if they will even be able to, but she supposes that there's nothing to lose after all.]

Probably this question has been asked thousands of times but, could anyone tell me what attempts have been made to get through the barrier that surrounds the designated area of Luceti? I mean, specific attempts, not just "everything we could", I'm new here so I can't know what "everything" exactly means. And has anyone attempted to study the barrier to see how it works or if it could be reproduced?

... And actually, could anyone explain what's up with the technology in this place? It goes from rural prehistoric when looking at the appliances at the houses, to modern technology with those journals and the teleporters or that battle dome.

[He's glad his sense of humor isn't lost on her. He actually meant it to be kind of funny.]

Usually, yeah. [He waves his huge stone hand in front of the camera.] Not much can get past this baby.

[He was funny, or at least she found him so. And it was a valid answer, humor and ongoing conversation? She's totally into that.

And that is a huge stone hand, good sir.]

It certainly looks like a strong and healthy baby. What kind of things can get past it? If you have ever encountered any besides the barrier, that is.

Hmm. Depends how big it is. I mean, we're talking monsters the size of houses. Stuff like this? Usually a piece of cake.

The size of houses? Do you face creatures like that often in your world?

[She's both worried and amused, it's a hard balance but it's there. Probably because giant monsters make her think of the giant apes Saiyans transform into and that makes her think of Goku's power even in his normal size.]

So basically any material doesn't stand much of a chance against you. I suppose you won't be able to give me a list of the materials found in your planet, right?

Not usually, but every now and then they turn up. Maybe once a decade. But nah, I'm no scientist. I don't know what half the stuff I hit even is.

[There are times when Hellboy acts dumber than he is. This's one of those times.]

[He's a good actor, then again with very few exceptions Bulma is used to strong guys who don't care about what half the stuff they hit is.]

That's a pity, if we could create a database of the materials found in each of our planets, and determine those materials' strength and other parameters, maybe we could use it to get an idea of what the barrier actually is.

Do you mind if I ask you how long have you been here?

Little less than a month. Guess I'm still one of the new guys.

That makes two of us, then. It's not even a month since I arrived if the dates are correct.

Yeah, I figured. Seems like most of the veterans gave up on breaking out a long time ago.

Edited 2011-06-07 21:09 (UTC)

From the looks of it they have been here for a long time, so it's possible that has affected their will to break out. Though I can't help but wonder things like if it has ever been tried a combined attack thing. Everyone with their biggest strength, power, attack or whatever, going at the very same point of the barrier.

[Because sometimes it sounds as if people just try on their own or at most with help from people they know from their world, but that's all.]

Sounds possible, if you can coordinate a thing like that.

[Bulma hums before she smiles and decides to leave that subject aside a bit. He's right, it's a possibility but it would require a lot of coordination. Not impossible but she would like to hear other answers and get more information before seriously considering any plans.]

Say, what's your name big guy? We haven't exchanged names yet, have we?

[Change of subject is fine with him.

He mumbles an apology.]

Sorry about that. They call me Hellboy.

It's okay, it's not as if I gave my name either, now that I think of it. Anyway, my name's Bulma, nice to meet you Hellboy. Is that a nickname or your actual name?

[She won't ask more if it's a nickname but she's curious to know which is it because... Well, "Hellboy" is quite different as a name, though she's no one to talk about it.]

Yep. It's the real deal.

[He gets this a lot.]

Nice, sorry for asking one never knows with names at times. It's quite a powerful name anyway, I like it.

Yeah? You know, I like it too. But people tend find that hard to believe.

I believe you, on both accounts. Actually I often have the same problem with mine. Some people just don't know what gratitude for being named is, or how a name may be liked no matter what it means or how it sounds.

Bulma's not so bad. It's nice.

Thanks! That's exactly what I say! But many people just go and focus on stupid jokes about it. I like it and I'm proud of it, it's a family name so it's like a legacy.

Well there you go.
