HETAP NOODLES
CHROMO'S PL: 90,000
Finding a slip of paper in his Hetap was stange. Chromo swallowed the little wrapper while he was chugging his drink, but spat out the foul-tasting slip moments later. When he promptly ran to demand a refund and a thousand more Hetaps for his trouble, the shocked shopkeeper instead explained that Chromo had got a rare ticket to go see Hetap's biggest factory. Chromo didn't see why that was so special, though- he went to factories all the time to steal- or, borrow- their food. Apparently this time people wouldn't scream so much when he tried to eat their food if he went in using the ticket, though, so here Chromo was.
A cluster of four high tech buildings towered into the skies. The factory's spires were towering, smoked glass and steel, each one joined to the next by a covered walkway. Chromo could see clouds parting around their roofs. Crowds of waiting civilians below made navigating the area around the factory nigh-impossible on foot, but the airborne beetle had little problem floating in the air above the heads of the Earthlings below. Chromo had been on a rollercoaster of emotions as of late- a good old trip down memory lane here with his favorite treat would surely feel like a nice change of pace, he hoped. Something in the back of his mind seemed to be telling him that this might be one of his last chances to simply relax...
For now, Chromo perched himself atop the fence surrounding the towering factory, kicking his legs to and fro with the shiny ticket clasped in his jaws. He'd been told others might come too if they got their own lucky tickets. Hopefully, they didn't bother him too much. Chromo shuddered at the thought of giving away his rightful snacks to other people... For now, the beetle would just twiddle his non-existent thumbs. The opening couldn't be too much longer away, right?
