'Ploughing the fields', hm?
Quick primer;
Emile's timeline is one in which Goku never hit his head, but was killed by the Red Ribbon Army as an infant after a running battle that lasted weeks and killed a lot of people.
With nobody to stop them, the RR took over the planet and managed to build up enough of a force of Androids to fight back in the Saiyan Saga and then take the fight to the Frieza Empire - mostly fighting the Saiyans, who in this timeline weren't destroyed as in the main one.
Its a brutal, horrific war on both sides. Military service and becoming an Android is common; as is being retired when newer models emerge such as Cell and the other bio-androids (this is what happened to Emile before he was drawn into the Time Patrol; he was an earlier conversion who was retired).
Its a very crapsack universe, really.
Emile breaks into an uncharacteristic warm smile at Mari's costume choice.
It reminded him of Halloween back in his own timeline, when children would often end up dressing up as Cell.
"Hi Mr. Vegeta!"
I love the fact that in Emile's timeline, Cell is viewed as a genuine hero for his part in helping fight Frieza's Empire. Cell's probably got action figures and shit of him, too.
Cell does it mostly because of the massive and constant ego boost, honestly.
It took a lot of adjusting for Emile when he joined the Time Patrol that not only did the Red Ribbon Army fail in almost every other timeline, but Cell ended up as a psychopath (not that he isn't in Emile's timeline, just it has never been directed at earth).
Emile's got a lot of thoughts on those Saiyans he works with in the Time Patrol, and not all of them are positive. Not on a personal level as such, but to be frank a good chunk of his programming tells him that these people are a major threat and he needs to kill them here and now. That can be very hard to ignore, especially for an Android that was literally altered to be a soldier and has killed many, many Saiyans over his service.
Even then though, it would be unfair to say it is all programming. It isn't. Emile saw firsthand the destruction Saiyans can cause - even as children - and it left an incredible scar on him mentally. Part of him thinks Saiyans are little better than animals; creatures that - even if Frieza did not hold their leash - would go out and fight and conquer others because it was in their nature.
And most Saiyans, to a degree, relish that sort of fighting - even if it isn't conquering others. Even the weakest of them can turn into Great Apes who themselves can wipe out entire civilizations.
Saiyans are ultimately frightening. The ceiling for their growth is obscene, if left unchecked.
You'd think as a Majin, Plum would go gaga for Halloween. She's not actually all that candy-driven, though. She certainly enjoys it but doesn't crave it the way most of her kind do.
She won't say no to a chocolate orange though!
"You'll barely feel a THING!"
"I don't mind needles!"
Because they don't work on her. She can just goop herself.
Plum is obviously fluent in English, but when she's incredibly tired or she's really enjoying a battle she'll often revert back to "Buu speak" - think Kid Buu.
It doesn't make sense to most people, but some have learned to still understand her.
We're finally getting a version of this attack that looks clean as heck.
Plum is fun to write because she'll fundementally never be redeemed - not fully. She can't; she is what she is and it is baked into her. But that doesn't mean she doesn't try to do good things and fight bad guys for the Time Patrol.

Another shudder. So it wasn't even blood? What was it, goo? Ooze? Better not to investigate further.
She shrugged at the comment and sulked. Her inability to turn Super Saiyan was never an easy topic.
"It's not just about strength... Although, thank you, I guess," she grumbled. "It needs the right trigger, something about emotions. And it's different for all of us." She shrugged again. "Look at Goku and Gohan. I don't know. I'd like to try it, but I don't want to get to see a loved one die to get to that level either."
Plum frowned and gently took Mariko's hand in a comforting gesture.
Not with her hand, but with one of her pigtails.
Sorry Mari.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make it sad." She frowned. "You'll get there! I know you will. You are awesome after all and you've been training really hard. I wish I could transform! Apparently I probably could have, 'cept my Majin bits like... ate the rest of me. Whoever made me suuuuucked."
She trailed off from her tangent for a moment.
"I'm sure not every Saiyan needs to see something super bad, right? Maybe you just gotta really want it."
"Yeah, I guess that's it... The whole 'not having bones' deal..." She shuddered.
"Although, that's also why it's difficult for me to fight any of you. Apart from the obvious difficulties anyone would have against a Majin... It really gives me the goosebumps whenever I land a punch on you guys. It's a bit like... Ew. For me, at least."
Plum grinned and bounced on her tippy-toes.
"We don't have much of anything, s'far as I know! Except blood? I think? Its weird." She admits, sticking her tongue out. "But I think hitting us is actually a super good way of seeing how strong you are! Like, if you were weak and you hit me? I wouldn't feel it at all. But if someone strong hits us and it hurts? It means they're really strong."
Plum cocks her head.
"And with how strong you are, m'kinda surprised you can't go super saiyan yet! I bet you'd look cool all golden." She grins.
"Yeah, no, thanks, it's-- It's not about that. I mean..."
"I guess it's because of how jiggly you guys look. It's... Odd? Kinda like jellyfishes?"
"Huh." Plum looked down at herself, squinting. "... I never thought of that! Its kinda true though!"
"We don't really have... a body? As normal people do? I mean, we do but its only because we want to look like this. Like, my arm could be my head or my legs could be my arms if I wanted to."
She decides not to demonstrate as such - that'd be weird!
"Plus, being jiggly is kinda part of how most of us fight. I totally get it." She beams.
@wardroidmajin liked this post for a starter
"Don't take it as an offense, I'm just being honest here..."
"... I find Majins a bit... Scary sometimes."
Plum giggled and looked up at Mariko with a bright grin, not the least bit offended.
"Well duh! Course we're scary!" She grinned, wriggling her fingers and pigtails alike before she hummed. "But you shouldn't be scared, Mariko! You're my friend, and I'd never do anything to you!"
A small pout before the smile returned.
"Course, I know most Majin in Conton aren't exaaaactly like me. Mama says I'm more like Buu. 'Cept I ate Bibidi. Jerk."
