Onnio listened to the faded Earth signal. He liked listening to the strange signals from Planet Earth lately, receivable by patching his helmet scouter through Vennel's comm system. He even, secretly, liked listening to the commercials and even the shampoo commercials. Commercials he saved, and played back to himself in his spare time, to better understand this strange and distant world.
"Don't you love our wonderful line of bubble teas here at the Bubble Tea Barn?" A boisterous accent, that Onnio vaguely recognized now as the Earthling host of an annoying bubble tea commercial, asked over the static.
"No," Onnio replied boredly, hoping this particular commercial would go away.
"Me too!" The commercial said. "And now, you can get a FREE bubble tea, when you sign up to compete in the The 25th Tenkaichi Budōkai!"
"What's that?" Onnio asked the static.
"Enjoy our legendary refreshment, for FREE, at Earth's most famous martial arts tournament, testing the might of the best fighters from across the Galaxy!"
Onnio's interest piqued. Best fighters? "Sounds good."
"Bubble tea supplies limited, offer good for one small bubble tea per competitor, offer not available for non-carbon based lifeforms, conditions apply."
