“I will literally be back when I finish fucking shopping. What about that is hard to understand, Korn?!” Zerori grumbled over the feed on her helmet as she walked through the closest ‘Shopee Mart’ with a plethora of different items in her basket. Some were pretty basic: food, toiletries, and the like - then there was the… odd requests Korn had requested. “What the fuck do you need silly string for? You’re not spraying it ANYWHERE in my Bakery!” As she walked the aisles, glaring at said cans of silly string, quite a few customers would be looking at her with judgemental and concerned stares. Zerori had tried to disguise her tail once more by looping it through the belt loops around her waist but it just wouldn’t stay and every time she tried to concentrate long enough to keep it out of sight of people, she’d just get frustrated and want to hit something nearby.
So people were a bit cautious of her - for good reason.
The voice on the other end would appear to whine for a moment, prompting Zerori to roll her eyes before shaking her head. “Cat food, yeah, I got it,” She affirmed softly, in a better mood once Korn had changed the subject. “Aight, I’m checking out… Yes, I’m- bye,youabsolutebastard.” She snarled finally before pressing the button on the side and ending the call. In a matter of seconds, the helmet would dematerialize away to reveal Zerori’s very annoyed expression. “Hate that man sometimes…” She grumbled before finally getting in line.
But not before snagging a bottle of vodka on the way.
Once she’d managed to check out and finagle all of her groceries into one spot, it was up to figuring out how to transport it all without destroying it during flight or risk losing it to the very experimental realm of her magic. It wasn’t that she couldn’t ‘recall’ it, but she couldn’t just step into the realm of where her magic came from so her knowledge of how time worked or if it was even temperature controlled was extremely limited. “Should I really just call a Zoomer? Fuck, I should have at least brought duffle bag,” She groaned, looking back inside the store as she contemplated doing exactly that.
With all her groceries on the ground, looking away from them as she was deep in thought, Zerori didn’t see a pair of officers approach and certainly didn’t realize her tail was lashing violently back and forth - giving away what she was to a group that was no doubt encouraged to detail people like her after the attack on Orange City.
“Mind if we have a word with you, M’am?” Came a firm question, bringing Zerori’s attention to the two boys in blue. For the LOVE OF-! She thought in an annoyed panic, turning to them and crossing her arms. While she was quite well known as East City for her side jobs as a Bounty Hunter - just another form of mercenary work - she was fairly certain her trick back at the bank with Zero, Ryme and Jorey wouldn’t work a second time.

"Mind if we have a word with you ma'am?"
The openly spoken statement seemed to catch not only the intended recipient's attention, but also another's.
Calot, for the most part, had been dead set on focusing all of his efforts toward the acquisition of greater strength under his belt. That was the reason why he had come to this ball of dirt in the first place, and he would be damned if he dilly dallied to the point of failing to achieve such a basic goal set for an overachiever such as himself.
But, as Earthly mattered tended to do, Calot became somewhat distracted with the goings on of some of the main cities' daily routines. One of which he had become especially intertwined with, that of which being the matters of the corruption that happened to root itself in much of the law enforcement departments' upper and lower chains of command. It had begun with a short lived, yet informative encounter with two distinctly dishonorable officers attempting to push their egotistical agenda onto who they believed to be an unsuspecting tourist from across the stars. Unfortunately for them, they had chosen the wrong hybrid to try and push around, and Calot made short work of not only the initial offenders, but as well as the superiors that had come to influence such abuse of power from their positions atop the pecking order they came to occupy.
Things would be marginally simpler if this was the only case of power structure delinquency Calot came to be acquainted with. Sadly, this was real life, and thus not at all the case. It was as though with every new city he came to visit for whatever undisclosed reason came a new interaction with the worst roundsman that city's justice agency had to offer. And that meant more, and more, and more egoistic fools to do away with by his blade.
And today seemed to be much more of the same. Having sat himself in front of the entrance/exit of the store proper, Calot had been meaning to gather his thoughts on what he would need this time around before the sudden scene started to brew a few feet away from him. Eyes glinting with slight curiosity, the Demon Saiyan swordsman stared directly at the two who now aimed to have words with...
...Wait.
Eyes widening slightly in surprise as he felt the young woman's energy signature, the realization hit the calculating crossbreed. Whoever this was, she too appeared to be of the same blood as he was. While she most certainly wasn't the first hybrid he had encountered during his time on this planet, Jorey claimed that technical title with ease, she definitely happened to be the most intriguing upon first sight.
Clearly already in quite a tizzy from whatever topic the phone call she had been on had been about, Calot immediately began to make his move, flashing forward like a phantasmal blur before appearing behind the unbeknownst boys in blue. Not wanting a murder charge on top of everything he was sure the less honor-worthy police officers were planning to pin on him when eventually caught, the young man felt fine with simply knocking the two of them upon the head with a single, backhanded swing of his sheathed Katana.
Watching the two of them fall to the ground in a heap, with the rest of the now spectating crowd gazing upon the sight in horrified awe, Calot looked to the lot with his usual coldhearted glare- stating in a simple, yet authoritative tone, "Back to your business, lest the rest of you follow suit."
Apparently not wanting a one way ticket to the realm of unconsciousness, the bulk of the rabble did as they were told. Chuckling somewhat at their sheep-like behavior, the impromptu shepherd then returned his attention to the thing he had intervened for.
"...You. You've, piqued my interest."
Staring at the grocery bags that littered the area around her, Calot glanced between them and herself for a few seconds.
"...Perhaps you'll entertain my presence in exchange for some needed assistance?"

As the two boys approached and Zerori began to wrack her brain for an excuse that would at least afford her some time to make a quick get-away (groceries or not) the appearance of someone appearing just behind them gave the hybrid woman pause. In a matter of seconds, not expecting an attack of any kind, the two officers would fall to the ground in a heap before her and the suspect in question? Well, if the sheathed katana was any indication, this man was no ordinary ‘good Samaritan’. She narrowed her eyes upon him, suspicious of his intentions and even a bit annoyed that this little move might get pinned on her in some way. After commanding the passerby and nosey on-lookers to be on their way, her would-be savior would turn his attention to her. She expected him to be some kind of bounty hunter - maybe after her own head - and was ready to defend herself if necessary.
As he spoke however, his intentions were WORLDS away from what she was expecting. For a long moment, Zerori just stood there with her eyes wide in surprise before she shook her head and produced a dumb, ‘uhhh’, before technical words were made, “If you help me get these bags back to the outskirts of South City, I’ll do more than ‘entertain’ your presence,” She teased, a bit at ease now that she wasn’t suspecting him of trying to kill her for himself. Taking one last look around, Zerori started grabbing up bags before looking over at her new acquaintance, “Take any bags you prefer - I’ll lead the way!”
And with that, she’d take to the skies and make sure that she had a firm grip on them. Maybe she should have used her extra cash to get them both some duffle bags but given she wanted to learn about him and he definitely had some questions for her - they could afford to go slow. Once at an adequate enough height that they could just cruise, Zerori would turn to Calot and just get right into it, “So I’ve ‘piqued your interest’?” She’d parrot, grinning at him, “Can’t say I don’t feel the same but since you’re the knight in shining armor here, why don’t you ask the first question, yeah?”
She didn’t want to assume but if she was feeling his power out accurately… That would make ‘demonic presence felt number 4’ and this was practically a gold mine of potential knowledge she wasn’t going to pass up! As she waited for his response, Zerori would eye that katana of his with interest as well, filing away every question she was going to ask him after he’d had his fill of answers from her. He's not half bad-looking, either... Wonder if he's one of those 'Monk-types' like Callion is? Humans may not be that much of a challenge in battle but I sure as hell am.

Preparing himself for a somewhat suspicious welcome, Calot was encouraged by the more affable persona the fellow Demon clan member took on when having realized the Saiyan Demon swordsman had likely just saved her from a days worth of paperwork and a weeks worth of dodging court summons. Kindness from such a normally coldhearted being was already near impossible to come upon, and had it been given a more negative reaction, it might've been just enough to send the already somewhat hesitant young man crawling back into the pessimistic hole he was only just beginning to crawl out of. Thankfully, Zerori took his well meaning action with much grace, and so he supposed it was worth it in the end to have actually stepped in.
A somewhat amused grin inched its way onto the hybrid's features as the somewhat confuzzled young woman moved to try and produce some sort of response to the surprising display, before quickly being replaced by his usual cool, even expression as she spoke her end of the deal in reply to his previously made proposition. Looking down once more at the bags around her feet, Calot shrugged- grabbing at the ones she left for him on the ground before shooting skywards directly behind her without a second thought.
Sure, for all intents and purposes Zerori could very well be doing all of this to try and lure him into some sort of trap or situation of ill intent, but, for some reason, she didn't particularly strike him as the type to do so. Yes, their people by reputation weren't given quite the most positive rep, but, he knew when one meant harm to him after years of having to look out for himself in such a sense, and this already quite entertaining vixen failed to ring any alarm bells in his mind.
Instead, she seemed like, dare he say, ample company- even managing to get a small snort of laughter out of the young man's mouth before he spoke, stating in a matter of fact tone as his eyes darted from her person and back toward the sky in front of them, "Indeed, you have caught my eye- in more ways than one. Your energy, first and foremost however, is the main focal point of fascination to me. If I'm correct in deducing so, you must be a Demon as well, is that not right? It is, been too long since I've met such a number of our own kind in one place.."
Aiming to keep things intentionally vague with the ending of his last statement, Calot sped up his flight so that he was now positioned directly beside Zerori, looking her up and down one more time before saying, "I believe also that this is the first time meeting one as, enthralling, as you've thus far proven to be. Your presence here does beg the question, however- were you originally born on Earth? Or perhaps elsewhere?"
Small talk was never one of Calot's strong suits- being the introvert he was, his talking ability led him to sounding broken and fragmented during everyday conversation. He was never one to lack the confidence to try, however, and still hoped that his message of curiosity rang loud and true in his somewhat odd, yet flattering, fashion of speaking.

She had to admit, he was quite the smooth talker. She expected him to be… well, less than glib as he was. Shut up in on himself and perhaps more than a bit recluse but given how he’d not only went right in to asking his offered question - he’d asked TWO. How bold! As they flew, Zerori would flip over in the air so that she was basically doing the flight version of walking backwards and cocked her head to the side as she contemplated his first question. Hell, it was hardly a question at all given she could feel the same in him, “You’re right about that, though if you’d asked me this, like… what, a few months ago - I’d have thought you were some kind of psychic,” She laughed, still baffled that not only had her secret theories been proven right about her own odd powers - but there were even MORE like her out there than she’d realized.
As he floated near her, keeping a distance at her side, Zerori would turn over and just barely catch the way he’d eyed her up and down. With an eyebrow cock, Zerori teased him, “Heh, you’re a flatterer, I see. I’ve been called many things, good and bad, but I think ‘enthralling’ is a new one,” With an amused smirk, she looked around to get an idea of how long it might take them to get her thing home and gauged that they had plenty of time as their current pace. She chose this moment to answer his second question, though her tone was much more subdued.
“Technically, Vegeta is my home. I was born there to my Father, who died about… I don’t know, 10-something years ago. My mother took off sometimes after I was 9. When there was this agreement between the USD to help form relations between Vegeta and Earth, a lot of kids were sent off to Earth to gain an education. Bureaucratic stuff that a LOT of Saiyans weren’t happy about. Everything was paid for, though, and my Father made certain that I didn’t need for money or anything like that… y’know, until he died,” Her face had fallen a bit, remembering the message she’d gotten while she was still in school. It had been one of the singular-minded reasons she’d thrown herself so heavily into her work. "Earth has been my home ever since and. honestly, I think I like it here better."
After a moment, Zerori seemed to break free from her head and looked back at Calot, “My turn, big guy. That sword,” She gestured with her chin toward it, “You buy that somewhere, or get it made-? Not to be too nosey but I have a thing for weapons and that’s a very nice katana. Guns and fists are more my thing… but, then, you can never really be too prepared in a life or death situation, can you?” She finished, throwing him a wink for good measure. “And speaking of ‘people like us’ - what side is your ‘Demon’ side, eh? Mine was my Mothers.”
