Piccolo Celebrates Family Reunion by Meditating Alone
Sources say Piccolo shot down Kami's idea of ordering matching t-shirts
WASTELAND — Piccolo, a Namekian expatriated to Earth, reunited with his closest relatives by sitting quietly and communing with their consciousnesses as they lived inside of him, fortune telling sources confirm.
“I guess it was nice to see everyone again,” said Piccolo. “But it was getting a little bit crowded for me. I expected to see Kami, of course, since he is literally just another aspect of me. I was a little caught off when Nail showed up, though. I guess we’re, like, distant cousins or something. Maybe he just felt awkward because he kind of has to hang out here since I absorbed him when we fused. Oh, well. At least Kami and him got along, so they mostly left me alone. That was nice.”
Kami, the other half of the being known only as the Nameless Namekian, had a different impression of the event.
“I think we should do this more often,” said Kami. “Sure, Nail and I talk almost every day, but Piccolo usually ignores us. It was nice to have some variety for once, even if he pretty much still ignored us. We got him to play one round of Yahtzee, which he lost. He just sulked after that. Pity, I was hoping to convince him to take us on a pilgrimage to New Namek to have a proper reunion with the extended family.”
Dende, the Namekian who replaced Kami as the Earth’s guardian, noted that he couldn’t help but take offense at his exclusion from the gathering.
“The Nameless Namekian was from the Dragon Clan, just like me,” said Dende, as he watched the reunion from his lookout high above the planet. “That basically makes us cousins. He could have at least sent me an invitation. Mr. Popo lost his patience with me because I kept asking him to double-check the mailbox. Am I being crazy, here? I’m the only other Namekian for light-years. It feels like it has to be an intentional snub, right?”
At press time, Piccolo was overheard mumbling that Gohan’s invitation must have gotten lost in the mail.
