So this was South City, as the locals called it, an apt name considering its location. Of course, it also seemed a bit boring too but what did she know, Shiver being a recent arrival to Earth and all. In fact, this was her first actual foray into a more populated area of any kind on the planet. Before she'd just hung out in the far far north and on uninhabited islands, doing a bit of training in the artic lands where she felt more comfortable. She'd held back so because of the fear of possible repercussions about her species. Even in the rural areas she'd already met a few hostile people who acted as such just because of what she looked like. And with no ship to flee far with, pissing off someone powerful would be the end.
This was the day however, Shiver hovering in midair high above the mass of metal and steel buildings. She had decided to try using her first form for the outing, hoping that the smaller and unassuming shape would be better suited. It would certainly be better than the her monster form, which looked like a killing machine. Hopefully it would also show any nearby powers that she had no intention of fighting. Of course, there was no guarantee someone wouldn't try to sneak attack her in her weakest form, but Shiver was tired of hiding. It was time to explore this planet more...and she wanted a real meal that wasn't wild game she'd hunted down and cooked with a ki blast. Also a few other odds and ends would be nice too, like a new cloak as she'd ruined her old during a training session. Hopefully she had the required funds, her Earth currency consisting entirely of found and stolen money that she had no idea the total value of.
Tail flicking nervously, Shiver began the process of descending, lowering herself through the clouds and sky back down to ground level. She made sure to land more in the outskirts to avoid drawing attention, trying for an area that seemed to have few people. The moment her three toed feet touched down she was on guard, awaiting some kind of confrontation or shout...nothing. A few more moments, Shiver looking around now, still nothing. Huh, maybe she'd just been overly paranoid after all. Shrugging, the Arcosian slowly starting into a walk, headed forward towards the more populated areas, the sense of weak power levels getting stronger with each step. It was time for that meal finally.

A CITY VENTURE
CHROMO'S BASE PL: 40,000
The rich aroma of the pizza parlor wafted down and beckoned Chromo. He just could not resist the delightful sensations that whipped up inside his memory at the mere thought of delving his jaws deep and fast into the best food South City had to offer so far. Cheese spread atop in copious amounts and the wide assortment of condiments sprinkled in the perfect amounts mingle to produce a taste unlike any other. Chromo's mouth watered, even as he swallowed another slice of his "borrowed" goods whole. The outside patio of the restaurant was old and worn, but it had charm, in a weird way. Soil gathered between the stones, bringing slim wands of green each spring, bringing some workers to fix it each and every time- but that was for later.
Some slow, jazzy music echoed from inside the parlor, even as Chromo tossed his seventh emptied pizza box like a frisbee into a dumpster across the street. He still had fourth-three more boxes to spare, after all! Each one had their own unique flavors and toppings, keeping Chromo's belly satisfied and hopping interest pertained. The bug chittered to himself, having driven away most who ate outside into the building to finish their meals already with his appetite- more room for him, then! Starting to suck up another pizza like a vacuum cleaner, Chromo would barely notice a certain Arcosian likely passing the parlor soon enough...

The day had begun as it normally did for Azarath which included stealing whatever food she found first, then going to all of her favorite stands in the city to get more food with payment optional but someone always willing to fork up for this wayward child. Then she had gone deeper into the center of city to finally do some exploration. Just a bit of poking around here and there and absolutely no eating! Well not this time at least since whenever she went somewhere new someone always yelled at her for eating too much. Which was how Azarath found herself locked in a sort of stalemate between what looked like a bug she felt was vaguely familiar, and a tall not-human who was equally familiar. Fortunately the choice was easy when the bug had food with him and so she had slid next to his table and given her best most pathetic face, "Share?" Sure she could have probably sucked some of it up then made a beat to escape but her poor memory made her feel like the last time they met was pretty positive and the Majin would hate to ruin that over some absolutely mouth-watering pizza. Maybe. |

Into the meat of the city now, Shiver was feeling pretty optimistic. Not only had her little trip been problem free so far, but, according to a passerby she'd questioned, her funds were actually quite substantial. And there was a delicious smell she'd just caught wind of as well, which she was happily following back to its source. The journey over was also fairly uneventful, the only thing Shiver noticing was an occasional odd or curious look. Well those were fine, she was currently gawking around at the new Earthly things herself after all. When the smell hit its peak she looked up and around, finding herself outside something called a pizza parlor. Huh, so the amazing thing she was smelling was pizza then. Well it was good enough for her, it even had a nice little outdoor...patio. Shiver's examination of the locale came to a screeching halt as she noticed two specific customers. First, was the pink little Majin girl she'd met before on an island. Here in South city, what were the odds of that? Across from her though was the other something that had drawn her attention, a giant blue and yellow beetle. More importantly though, it was STRONG, her energy sense singing alarm bells in her head. But...that smell was SOOO good and the bug certainly seemed to be enjoying a large amount of this pizza. He wasn't smiting the Majin either, whom Shiver knew was very good at poking buttons. Whatever, she'd chance it, at least she'd wouldn't be the only oddity in the restaurant. Entering and sending a little wave to the Majin, she headed up the counter, noting wryly that her head didn't even reach the top. But the ability to hover trumped height disadvantages, and with a little lift she was as tall as everyone, to the apparent surprise of the clerk. Her next obstacle...was all the choices, so many, and of something she had yet to even try. Eventually she just shrugged and pointed towards the cheese option, she knew what cheese was, and she knew she liked it. A few minutes later, she had her own little box of delicious smelling goodness hovering next to her, headed back out to the patio. But where to sit now? Thread Power Level: 4500 First Form Chromo |

Chromo raised another slice of pepperoni and mushroom pizza this time around, about to drop it into his spiked jaws, only for a very strange and somewhat familiar-looking Majin to approach, giving Chromo a pair of puppy-eyes, apparently begging for a slice of his stacks and stacks of food. Chromo lowered his meal, head tilting to the side. For a moment, the bug appeared to be in thought, blinking a few times as some awkward silence sunk in. Soon enough, the bug's eyes narrowed, and he positioned himself protectively over his piles of pizza left over. "No! My pizza! Get your own, you heck! Miiiiine!" Chromo barked, taking a bite of his meal to add insult to injury, his eyes narrowed with a "threatening" sound that was a mixture of chewing and growling rumbling from his throat.
Chromo raised his head though as another, fresh scent of pizza took over the air, the bug taking his eyes off of Azarath and his claimed pizzas for a few moments to eye an Arcosian. Chromo whistled, content- cheese pizza was always a good choice- it was leagues better than potato pizza. Realizing he took his eyes off his potential foe for a little too long, the bug whipped back around to the Majin, giving a high-pitched hiss and growl once more.

The bug was being terribly unfair! Trying to hoard all of this delicious pizza all to himself and not sharing any! Steam began to pour out of the majin's pores as her pout intensified, "Share!" she screamed again only to have the fortune of seeing the small bug turn to look at the not-human's pizza. She took the chance and jumped on the pizza boxes and began stuffing three entire boxes down her gullet. Thanks to a combination of her body being incredibly malleable and physically chewing it all up she would have already had the majority of those three inside her throat. If this dumb bug wanted to be a jerk then she would just have to be one right back! After all it belongs to the first one to eat it. "Blehhh-!" she taunted after eating the pizzas by blowing a raspberry and wagging her hands this way and that. Just moments ago she would have had rather avoided this but if the stupid bug was going to be stingy then she would just eat and run, or more like eat and hide under the other friend as she made a mad dash away towards the Arcosian.

Well this was a stumper all right. She didn't really WANT to sit alone or anything, but with the Majin being...her and the super strong bug scarily close, it was looking like the best option. Eh, at least she'd get to savor her new treat in relative peace. Or so she thought, as the bug suddenly turned to look right at her, as if it had read her mind. Crap, had it? She'd known other Arcosians who could do stuff like that if they really tried, was the bug one of them as well? Freezing in mild fear, Shiver soon relaxed when she saw that the thing's gaze was actually looking at her pizza, with appreciation? Phew, Shiver forced her legs into actions moving towards the table as she gave the bug a super polite nod. She was just being paranoid...again. Hadn't the visit to the city so far yielded almost nothing to worry about? At this point she was just annoyed with herself, nothing was going to ha- the Majin screamed suddenly and let out a puff of steam. Gaze shooting back to the couple, Shiver was just in time to watch the pink girl suddenly gulp down a several boxes of the bug's pizza. It was then followed up with...a taunt and insulting gesture. Oh...well that was going to go over well at all. Unfortunately, before Shiver had time to react, the pink being started to run away...towards her. It didn't take a genius to figure the Majins intentions, especially since they kinda knew each other and all. Well...that was going to be a big nope from her, and Shiver took flight hovering back away with her pizza in tow. Holding a hand palm out she'd try to gesture the girl away repeatedly saying. "NO NO NO, This is your mess not mine. I'm not a part of this." Thread Power Level: 4500 first form Chromo |

"Not the bacon!" Chromo exclaimed, turning back just as Azarath wolfed down the last of his three boxes, eyes wide with disbelief. The nerve! No meant no- there was a pizza place right here for her to get her own! With a raspberry, the majin fled off to the Arcosian for hiding, leaving Chromo's gaze still locked at nothing in sheer disbelief and budding anger... Well, the Arcosian didn't seem to want a part of this, quickly hopping away from the Majin. Smart- who would even dare to cross the great Chromo's path? The Majin, apparently...
Arcosians were always cool enough, so the bug decided to spare Shiver his wrath... "Well, I'll just have to get my pizzas back now!" Chromo reared back, ki beginning to crackle around his body. Surely he could get the Majin to spit his food back out in one piece, right? Or at the very least he'd give her a nasty mark as a reminder for what happens when you steal a bio-android's meal... With that said, a burst of fiery energy resounded as Chromo rushed forwards, aiming to tackle the Majin and smack his horn right into her gullet with a loud screech!

Bad idea bad idea! The bug was really really angry and even she could tell how much power his little body was packing as it began to charge ki in an erratic manner. Even the not-human friend of hers had abandoned poor Azarath by flying into the air and away from their little issue! There were but scant seconds between her getting to the table Shiver had been sitting at and then being collided with something more akin to a train than a cute little bug. "Geehk-!" Quite possible the strangest strangled sound to ever leave Azarath broke out as the horn of the bug hit her back and poked out her stomach. Not that such a thing was an issue as much as the sheer amount of ki that had been packed into that little horn had left smoke trailing from her mouth and eyes spinning as the pizza boxes were spit up. A bit crumpled sure, and with a bit of pink goo on them but for the most part completely whole. "M'sorry~" she moaned out while the world spinned from that devastating hit. She would have to either be sneakier next time or take food from someone who was not quite so brutally overpowered compared to her. Now she was hungry and had a whole in her! What a mess...

The bug thing was, understandably, angry as it sent a furious look in their direction. Thankfully though, it seemed to dismiss her after a brief look, correctly determining that she wanted nothing to do with this. Of course that left the little Majin the sole recipient of the bugs rage, as it should be. Still, watching the bug rear up and suddenly gather a very impressive amount of power, she almost felt a little bad for the pink one. Almost, she HAD just stolen a bunch of his food after all, what else could be expected to happen? Hovering up in the air, Shiver watched as the bug blasted forward, wincing as it planted its horn firmly in the Majins middle. To her surprise, the girl was quite literally impaled, the tip of the horn protruding forth nastily from her stomach. Well...apparently she'd be getting a chance to see the fabled regeneration of the Majin race soon, hopefully. More shocking than that however, was the small collection of boxes that suddenly erupted from the impaled girl's maw. Pizza boxes? The same ones that had just been gulped down? Descending a bit, Shiver looked the small containers over with a disbelieving gaze, noting that they seemed okay overall despite just being swallowed. Well that was...interesting for sure. But at least they could all relax now, the girl had apologized and even returned the pizza. Hopefully the bug was satisfied with the outcome and she could eat in peace. Gracefully lowering herself to the ground, Shiver placed her own box onto a table and opened it up, still tossing glances at the other couple as she hovered into a chair. Ugh, she felt like a toddler, her three toes dangling far off the ground. Shoving her annoyance, Shiver instead focused on her newly acquired snack. Wow, so this was pizza, a giant circle of bread and cheese cut into multiple slices. It smelled and looked delicious, although it also seemed...big, bigger than she'd thought it would be. Maybe even too much for her to eat now that she actually saw it. Shiver tossed a look over at the swiss cheesed Majin, sighing at the devastated and exhausted look the Majin wore. Well, maybe she could share a slice, if only to help defuse the situation and because she had so much. "Hey" She called over to the pink girl "Do you want a SLICE of mine" Chromo Thread Power Level: 4500 First Form |

Chromo scurried over to his pizza boxes alongside the Arcosian, opening one of the containers to reveal a perfectly intact pizza. The bug gave a satisfied click, promptly swallowing two slices of the saved bacon pizza down his gullet as a victory snack. The Majin had a big ol' hole in her now, but she was still standing. Chromo didn't want to cause a scene with a murder, after all- in hindsight he couldn't blame someone as hungry as himself for being, well, hungry. Sure, he wasn't willing to share his pizzas, but... Chromo snapped in realization! "No worries, you're forgiven by the mighty Chromo." The bug chimed with a sly grin, darting back into the pizza parlor after a moment, leaving the Majin and Arcosian to briefly feast on their shared food...
An occasional bump or boom would echo from inside the restaurant Chromo invaded, but that was about it for a good minute. Yet, with a BANG and shattering echo of the glass nearby the Arcosian and Majin, a swam of Chromo and his clones barged out with dozens- no, HUNDREDS of pizza boxes in tow! The little robbers all landed outside as alarms began to rang, and the leading Chromo himself placed one of his stolen boxes next to Azarath, nudging it close to her with his horn. Inside was a large square pizza, complete with every topping imaginable! The bug remained silent, a grin persisting on his smug little face, even as Earthlings screamed and called the cops, sirens wailing from afar alongside the alarms of the building. Things got a whole lot more interesting.

Such cruelty! It was a crime to steal back the pizzas she had just stolen! In such a violent way that had left Azarath with a sizeable hole in her stomach and a now quite literally empty stomach. At least the insane bug seemed to have forgiven her so she supposed forgiving it for not sharing was the least she could do. How magnanimous of her indeed to be willing to forgive someone so mean! Though her other acquaintance seemed to be a much better person to the point which Azarath may even call her a saint, offering her own little slice! The sharp sound of shattering glass tore her attention from the piece she had just liberated from Shiver over to see a massive swarm of mini-bugs crawl out of the pizza shop. It reminded her faintly of the first time she had run across the bug when he had another swarm of mini-mes then too though he had not been taking food from Earthlings quite as much. Azarath hardly had a complaint over stealing a tiny bit of food seeing as she was more often than not accused of doing the exact same thing in stalls and stores across the city. Laid next to the Majin was her very own pizza box courtesy of the mass of clones, stacked to the brim with everything the shop seemed to have been able to offer with a tantalizing aroma which while some might call disgusting due to the eclectic mix to the Majin it was a veritable feast to itself, "Ahaha~" Azarath practically glomped the entire box as she devoured the pizza by turning almost like jelly and simply scooping it all up. A small satisfied burp puffed out of the girl when she came back up along with a pleased smile all to her own. It seemed her and the bug really were friends then! "Aye aye! Thank you!" she cheered towards the bug who was now a notch up on her list from 'friend' to 'admirable food-giver'. Shiver |

Phew, they had all calmed down now, the bug seemingly satisfied and the Majin receiving her own slice from Shiver. The bug had even left, for the moment at least, flying back into the parlor. Good, now she could finally attend to her own meal, the smell almost maddening at this point. Getting comfortable on her chair, difficult as it hadn't been designed with tails in mind, Shiver lifted one of the slices from her box. For a moment she simply eyed it, taking in the piping cheese and red sauce, absorbing its smell on her tongue. It wasn't every day one got to try a new food after all, and then she took a bite. It was...amazing, the gooey complexion mixing well with the sauce and slightly crisp cheese on her tongue. There was just the lightest bit of salt in the taste as well, increasing her craving for more with each moment. She immediately took another bite, and then another after that. This was GOOD, maybe she'd been judging the Majin's actions a bit too harshly earlier. A loud banging sound made Shiver look up from her slice, seeing the glass on the parlor shattering suddenly. What came out were....a swarm of bugs, all looking like the one from earlier only smaller. They also had more pizza in tow, a LOT of pizza. The actual bug, at least she assumed so from the size difference, placed one of the boxes in front of the Majin too. It was consumed near instantly, the poor box literally being glomped up. Huh, well how about that, the bug had decided to go for charitable. Or..it kinda had, as Shiver suddenly took notice of the the wailing alarms and red/blue flashing lights in the distance. Well that was bad, but she had PIZZA now, and darn it she had just gotten comfortable. The Arcosian crammed the rest of her slice in her mouth, reaching for another as she called out something to the pink girl. "Whats your name anyway?" It had been bothering her for a while, she didn't want to keep calling her "pink thing" or "Majin." Outside the parlor, the sound of screeching tires came suddenly, coinciding with the sirens becoming very loud suddenly. They had company. Chromo Thread Power Level: 4500 First Form |

OOC: man i am not good with frequent posts. But feel free to control the police NPCs also!
"See? I'm the best, right?" The little bug chimed after the Majin thanked him and devoured his offering, with the Arcosian promptly asking for the pink lady's name. "I'm Chromo, also. Hi. Hello." The bug waved, ignoring the sounds of the still wailing sirens as his swarm began to munch on their own slices of pizza, the background sirens growing louder and louder until several police cars swarmed about the building! Still, the little Bio-android acted as if nothing was there. "Soooo, pizza, right? What's your favorite kind? Mine's beef and bacon with extra cheese and--" Chromo flinched as the sirens grew even more ear-piercing. "WOULD YOU ALL SHADDUP I'M TRYNA TALK FOOD WITH MY--!!"
Chromo whipped around- a fatal mistake. Caught off guard, the wires of a taser struck the bug's exposed stomach, causing him to let out an electric screech of pain before his form was fried and black, toppling over with his eyes mere dizzy swirls, and his cries muffled to mere groans. The swarm all raised their heads at once, glancing about confused without a leader...

Chromo was making some very good points here! Giving away pizza freely had definitely endeared the Majin to the little bug so she was more than willing to admit he was great, an enthusiastic nod following his statement. The pink girl puffed out her chest proudly and proclaimed, "Azarath!" she had been told the best way to introduce yourself to another person was to do it proudly and back squared! Naturally her back was hard to get into an exact square shape but if they looked at her t-shirt it might look a bit more...boxy than normal. "Pizza? Everything!" Honestly what even was a preference in this day and age? If you weren't absolutely devouring everything and every kind then you were eating wrong! Pickles and mustard! Anchovies and mayo! Pineapple! No matter how many times the people on the coast yelled at her the best way to eat was always to cram as much together as possible and chow down on it in one big bite! Naturally not with her mouth, absorbing it was fine or else the mix of tastes was ick. Azarath had ignored the police sirens at first, much more content to nibble on whatever she had at hand but when Chromo seemed to nearly pop his top at the offending sound things went a bit insane for her! He had been shocked by the jerks and the zapping turned him charcoal in an instant! Which was impressive to say the least. Azarath would have clapped had it not been for a rubber bullet or two bouncing off of her rubbery head, one slicing through her tendrils to lodge into her ear. "Ngyaah!" It felt super weird and even though the bullet sort of just slid out of her neck at some point it was still pretty rude to just shoot someone in the ear! She hauled the burnt Chromo onto a shoulder and looked at Shiver for advice. The officer's seemed to be trying to come closer but the little horde was a bit nerve-wracking for anyone to approach.
