Goku tends to hog a Sim Room whenever there's one open. He can't help himself - sure, the training room's nice, but nothing beats actually fighting someone to improve yourself, and this is the closest that he can get in some cases. After being told that the machine can create simulations of people from back home, he immediately put that to the test. Some worked out better than others - he can't quite get simulations of Beerus and Whis that are as powerful as the real deal, though given how badly those simulations tend to go, it wouldn't make much of a difference if he could.

Still, the others work okay. His performance varies; in some cases, he does fairly well, while in other scenarios, he breaks even.

There's a handful of cases where it goes poorly for him - Buu far outclasses him given his strength level here, and after asking around, he recently added Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, to his rotation. ...which went exactly as well as one would expect a fist-fight with Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, to go. His attempts at fighting Thor are better, but he hasn't won yet. Still, he's nothing if not persistent.

If someone happens to walk in, he'll give a friendly wave. "Hey! Are you here to spar?" ...Of course, that's the only reason why Goku thinks someone would use these machines. He's got a fairly one-track mind, to say the least.

Alternatively, he may be found lying on the ground, trying to recover from pushing himself too hard. "Heh... Looks like a hundred times is 'bout my limit..."

"Huh? Oh, not... really." The voice sounded an awful lot like... Gohan's dad. Right then. This wasn't gonna be weird at all.

Gwen was in uniform but she wasn't really intending to do much sparing. She had... something else.

"I was just gonna do a bit of wall-crawling and web-slinging just to get used to do it now that I'm back here."

"What's that? ...Actually, I guess you could just show me, huh? It's all yours!" Goku grins, looking forward to seeing what web-swinging is. He's always interested in seeing new techniques and powers, especially since there's so much more variety here compared to back home.

"Yeah, alright just keep an eye on me." It's easy enough for her, as Gwen changes up the sim room to give her a number of ceilings and walls she could just jump and stick to.

"See?" She says back to him while hanging upside down just to show off a bit more.

Videl's traditional approach to training has always been a punching bag and youthful aggression, but since she's grown up and grown out of one of those things, she's found that the other doesn't provide enough feedback for her anymore. Especially not for an out of shape young mother who needs a bit more assistance with training than she used to. Of course, Videl had been working out in the training room since her return to Legion World, but she hadn't realized how much practice against real opponents she was lacking until after returning from the mission against Tsarista. It was a good thing the storybook pocket dimensions needed more brain than brawn to overcome, because Videl could feel herself lacking in the latter.

So she had resolved to try out one of the Sim Rooms, knowing that there would be plenty of pre-made battle simulations for her to train against. Really, a Sim Room could only be so good compared to a real sparring partner (or so Videl assumed). (And Apparently there are other applications to the Sim Rooms besides running training programs, as a cursory glance through the non-battle simulations told her, but nothing stood out to her. Taking a bath in simulated water would probably be just as disappointing as waterless bathing in her own bathroom.)

But to Videl’s surprise, the Sim Room she approached was already occupied. By her father-in-law.

Well, “occupied” in a manner of speaking. Videl stands over Goku with her hands on her hips, giving him a chiding smile. “A hundred times against what?”

"Heh - my powers." Goku may not look particularly dignified like this, especially considering that he's a grandpa, but he still finds it funny. "I can make myself stronger an' faster, but only a hundred times more than usual. Even tryin' a hundred an' one isn't that useful - I can't even get a hit in!"

He props himself up, grinning. "So are you here to train too?"

Videl smiled at the mental image of Goku whallopping a version of himself that was one hundred times his strength and then being summarily pummeled by a version only a tad bit stronger. She had never met anyone who was so thoroughly absorbed with improving themselves that they practically ignored the progress they had already made.

"I thought I'd give it a try," she replied. "I've never tried training with simulations before." She shrugged. "I guess I'm getting a little old fashioned."
