(transformation always active) Planet Earth! Day...whatever. Not a year and Mure had already found a mutual standpoint on the grounds within the culture of the planet. Mure of course was still like a newborn baby when it came to how things worked on planet earth- but all things considered things were going much better than when he first landed. Ever since he had gotten these new clothes, a T-shirt that read Oppai on the front in big letters with what the earth vender referred to as "sweatpants" for bottoms, earthlings found themselves far less intimidated by the presence of the horned space cyclops.
Today would be another experimental day, Mure would be exploring this so called...grocery store. Apparently earthlings used these buildings to supply themselves with nutrients. Normally, he could probably do this without getting an over abundance of attention from the immediate area- but the alien cyclops unintentionally made it very clear that he had no idea what he was getting himself involved in when he had decided to question the cashier. To the counter Mure brought a paper bag full of a few random items he picked out- although this was a grocery store he wanted to make sure everything he picked out was indeed edible- not to think that any of this planets narcotics would deliver any real harm to his body- but "better safe than sorry" another term he learned from the earthlings that originated from one known as "A wise man" Mure would have to meet this wise individual one day.
Anyway, during current events Mure had curiously gleamed his eye over the many items he had picked up- receiving an answer for every which thing he picked out. A small crowd of people were gathered around the section watching as the one eyed alien did his best to investigate every item. He'd reach his hand into the bag a bit of rustling before pulling out one of the items- a somewhat rounded white orb of some kind. "And this is...?" He'd hold up the item to the cashier.
"...An egg sir."
Mure would look to the item again. "An egg...and...it's edible?" He'd tilt his head before placing the egg back into the cartridge of eggs it had been paired with, then reaching in to dig another item out. Mure would then pull out another orb- this one red and with a stem on the top of it. "And what shall be called this?"
"Ah...that's an apple"
Mure would stare blankly at the cashier before looking to the item.
"An Apple" Mure would say along with his audience- as it was now pretty predictable that he would repeat whatever it is he learned of. Now with the eggs, the apples and all the other assortments that would be all he could fit in the paper bag before purchasing and leaving with the items. He'd move out of the store with his new found groceries coming along the sidewalk of the open area and taking a seat near a planted area with a little bush and a sewer hole right below his feet under the sidewalk. Once again he'd reach his hand into the bag- fetching the so called egg, more curious about it than any other item. "Is this really edible...? maybe they still don't trust me." Mure would say- hypothesizing that perhaps the earthlings really were trying to poison him- that was- before a pair of women would walk by him.
"Ugh- I don't have enough money to make ends meet AND go grocery shopping- figures guess I'm having struggle-eggs tonight."
One woman would say whilst the other waved a dismissive hand. "Oh- that's not so bad! Eggs are pretty yummy, I can spare you some instant ramen to go with your eggs if you'd like! just hard boil them!"
"Ew- no thanks, I am trying to stay away from instant ramen as much as I can- thank you"
Mure would unintentionally find himself listening in on the conversation- those two earth women knew about eggs! and it seemed like they were no stranger to eating them either- Mure wasn't sure if there was difference between eggs and what the woman referred to as "struggle-eggs" but he thought maybe it "egg" was an understandable prefix.
He'd look over the egg one last time. "I guess it's worth trying." He would say before opening his mouth and biting into the raw shell of the egg- not immediately spitting it back out he'd chew the raw shell and the raw yolk that was inside- of course a bit of it dripping out upon being bit into like an apple. Mure would furrowed his brow before swallowing. "...This is what passes as earthling cuisine? what an odd planet..." |

Xanadu was a creature who hated himself, the universe, and everything between the two of them. For the last few months he had spent an egregious amount of time looking for a mystical pair of dragon testes to make a wish or two, which he would use to simply remove the universe from around himself. And around everything, really. He was really into the idea of getting rid of the universe, because as far as he was concerned, what good has it ever done anyone to exist in this universe. They might as well all pack up and try existing some other time, or even better, not do that.
Speeding down into the city while standing on a motorcycle with his arms crossed, passing judgement to the city in which he began his voyage into this planet's never ending disappointment, he caught the attention of those around before doing a flip off that'd make a ballet jealous. Floating down to the ground, the transformed planetoid watched as the bike ran into an old lady and (somehow) exploded.
"Drat, seems I forgot to close the gas lid..." At some point in his life, watching an old lady have a motorbike run across her face would of brought joy to him. But he had spent many months on Earth and hurt many people, and he had grown bored with their repetitive responses. He made his way to the crowd as he tossed some change to the lady, landing on her with such impact it cut into her skin. "Keep the change, for repairs."
Grabbing a stranger from the back, he decided to get the answers he had come to this planet for in the first place.
"I am Xanadu, great planet that's now man, yada yada...and you will-OH WHAT THE..." His hand forcing the stranger to turn by spinning them by their shoulder to the point a meal they were eating dropped, he noticed their lack of a secondary eye. It was a unique trait for a human, and Xanadu found something rather beautiful in it. It was simple, and striking, and one of the few things in the vast cosmos he didn't find bland and a trite use of his time to try to appreciate. Still, he had work to get to, work he had been barely making any progress you. Lifting his finger, he put on his dangerous and threatening pose, as he wagged it back and forth.
"You! DO YOU KNOW OF THE DRAGON TESTICLES?!! DO YOU, ONE EYED BEAUTY?"

WHAT'S THIS?
CHROMO'S PL: 20,000
Chromo's quest to settle his stomach continued still. Currently he was slurping down a smoothie he picked up at a local Arcosian-run food cart- seeing it made from scratch was awful interetsing as well. And the taste was amazing! Sure, he flew off with his meal when the subject of the money he didn't have came up, but the strawberry snack was incredible. Chromo had had raw strawberries, but none compared to this! Happily walking along, Chromo began to think. What if he learned to prepare his own snacks like this? That would be amazing. Maybe he could give Virus' fleshy meals a little more zest also.
In the midst of his thoughts, though, a strange figure caught Chromo's attention- a one-eyed humanoid. The bug whistled with an impressed expression, though his gaze faded to disgust when the alien put a raw egg in his mouth. Chromo loved himself an omelette, but who in their right mind would eat a raw egg? He began to rear back to rush over and give this person a lesson in cuisine, but an explosion resounded nearby, tearing his attention away to an explosion. The bug frowned again and grumbled. Explosions were his thing and his thing only. The nerve!
Rolling up a nonexistant sleeve, Chromo quickly zipped forwards and pushed aside the humanoid planet man seconds after he finished asking his question about some dragon-things, likely leaving Mure no time to respond before the little beetle was floating in front of him with a judgmental glare. "Hey. Hey. Hey. Do ya know anything about the wonders of Earth food, even?" Chromo began, still ignoring the man he just pushed aside with force. "Eggs are fine and dandy, but you gotta add the pizzaz and POW before eating one! Let me show you how it's done, you poor soul." Chromo began, almost pitying the cyclops alien for his poor knowledge in the world of food. Normally he wasn't one to share his own meals, but this was an emergency situation!
"Behold!" Chromo took out his smoothie with a sly and proud grin. "I'unno how the guys down the street made this, but they got the flair in it!.. Oh! One second, one second!" The bug zipped off again and was back in a single second, just as promised. The nearby grocery store's window was broken, a Chromo-shaped hole in the window. In the bug's free stub-hand was a normal strawberry. "Soooooo, we take this boring little thingy, and add that pizzaz, and bam! It becomes this awesome... thing!" Chromo explained, passing over the raw strawberry and the sweetened smoothie of the same flavor. His lack of knowledge on the subject made it hard to explain, but Chromo knew what was a good treat and what wasn't with his sweet tooth.

Post by Neo on May 21, 2018 22:18:58 GMT -6
After spending days traveling to the east, Neo's travels had brought her to Satan City. The commute to get to the city itself had taken her over three hours and she was getting hungry. Unfortunately for her, there didn't seem to be any animals around for her to hunt, one of the many downsides of living in an urban location. Despite how difficult it was getting used to this new society, it never ceased to amaze her how efficient their economy was. She could have used her magic to conjure up food for herself, although the doragon generally didn't enjoy abusing her powers in such a manner. Instead, she would take this as an opportunity to learn more about this land and the world around her. Neo would take this time to learn what a supermarket truly was.
Walking inside, she was immediately hit with a blast of cold air that was a startling difference from the warm air outside. The sudden change had caused her to stumble a bit before regaining her footing. Right, another modern invention. It was a nice change of pace, although silently Neo wished they had warned her of such beforehand. Looking at their wares, Neo picked up one of the prepackaged goods that was labeled chips. Upon further inspection of the bag, there was some strange circular food that was enormous in size. Looking at it a few times, her eyes immediately trailed to the foreign numbers upon the shelf, representing something called zeni. Already, this place was giving her a headache. What was zeni and what did it have to do with the chips? Placing the bag under her arm, Neo was walking towards the sign that said "fresh produce" when a sudden voice made her jump.
Some strange man would scream at something, asking about something regarding a dragon. Her ears immediately perked up at the mention of the reptile, causing her to walk over to the two where she realized the recipient of his comment was some one-eyed creature, unlike anything she had ever seen before. A gigantic bug would then zoom over to the two, talking about the wonders of Earth food. Neo walked over, her attention completely taken by the giant bug who seemed to know how food worked. "I'd like to learn more about your culture's food and how you prepare it. Tell me how this works and what this thing knew as zeni and its purpose here." She said, skipping to the point without even greeting the three. It might not have been polite, however, it was efficient and the most direct way to convey her desire to learn how things worked here though. That was all that mattered to her.
