”Hah! Yet another challenger proves to be no match for me! You did your worst, yet it was all for naught!” the green haired android called out boisterously as she took a step back and admired her handiwork. ROSE had just finished painting the exterior of the building that she inhabited alongside her Ryashi friend. Fort ROSE, as the android was now insistent on calling it, was now a soft, pastel blue color. She had initially wanted to repaint it navy blue like the building had originally been, but the boss-lady was convinced that it would absorb too much heat and probably make any non-Ryashi visitors uncomfortable. Normally ROSE would call her crazy for thinking they would get any guests all the way out there in the first place. However, there had already been an unusual amount of people randomly show up on their doorstep. Having guests wasn’t a bad thing. It wa just weird considering Fort ROSE’s location.
With her work all finished up, the synthetic girl wandered into kitchen just in time to see Nai-Ran throw open the window so the thick, black smoke that filled the room could escape. What in the world happened in here?! Before the android could ask, she spotted her answer and grimaced. There was a cake pan filled with unappetizing looking sludge sitting on a cooling rack on the counter. While she knew it was supposed to be a cake, it looked more like a crime against nature. ”Another failed attempt, huh?” she sighed. ”Unfortunately... But hey, I think I might be getting closer. Ahaha...” Nai-Ran replied sheepishly as she rubbed the back of her head. In reality, she actually didn’t feel like she was making any progress at all. There was no need to be down about it though. Embarassed by her most recent failed baking attempt, she ducked her head into a cupboard to start grabbing some more ingredients.
ROSE glanced over at bowl that the serpentine lass was currently working on. It looked like it was almost full, yet all it contained was a bunch of white powder. Where were all of the wet ingredients? ”Uh, boss-lady? What do you have left to add to this one?” the petite android asked suspiciously as she studied the bowl. ”Almost everything, actually. The only thing in the bowl is my three cups of flour,” she responded, her voice slightly muffled. ROSE’s jaw nearly dropped. ”Seriously? There’s got to be, like, eight cups in there or something!”
Nai-Ran finally looked up from the cupboard; confusion was evident on her face. ”That can’t be right... I know I only put three in there. I’ll re-measure,” she mumbled as she made her way back to the bowl and dumped its contents back into the bag of flour. ROSE then watched as the Ryashi grabbed what must have been the largest drinking glass from the cupboard above and buried it into the flour bag. ”What are you doing?” The young woman froze, looking back and forth between ROSE and the bag. Was there something off about her method that she didn’t catch before? ”The recipe calls for three cups,” she answered hesitantly before holding up the glass that was now filled with flour. ”Three of these.”
ROSE smacked the palm of her hand to her forehead. ”You have much to learn, young grasshopper,” she spoke with an exasperated sigh. Grasshopper? Nai-Ran was no insect... ”The recipe needs three measuring cups of flour. What you’ve got there is a cup for drinking stuff.” The android moved to a different cupboard and grabbed a box of measuring instruments out of it, tossing it to Nai-Ran. She opened it up and eyed its contents carefully. ”This is what the recipe meant then? It's certainly much smaller than what I’ve been using.” ”Everything you need should be in that box: cups, teaspoons and tablespoons. Just make sure you level off the tops before dumping your ingredients into the bowl,” ROSE explained as she walked out of the kitchen and back outside. She liked the boss-lady alright, but watching her learn to bake was testing her patience. The android too a few steps out into the hot desert sand and looked back up at the two story building. The paint was already almost dry, but the cloud of black smoke that had formed over the room made her shake her head. Hopefully it wouldn’t take too many more attempts for Nai-Ran to get it right. She wasn’t exactly sure if that smoke was safe, considering the finished product it had come from.

The fetid breeze layered itself upon the young human’s face. His black and purple hair oscillated through the air, generally resting his spikes against the back of his neck. His violet aura flamed around his body like a vibrant, ardent blaze. He had previously come from a battle/training session with a select few people, and it more or less ended well for him. His body was covered in bandages and wrappings, which brought his radiant power level down even further, coupled with the hinderance his weights put on him. His body felt as if it was going to fall apart, limb by limb, and disintegrate in the desert’s gleaming heat. The only thing that kept him from falling down towards the dunes and rotting away was the evident smell of food. Baking food. He’d been following this scent for quite some time, and it literally carried him along his journey. Ryo loved food, more than anything. ALMOST more than training. He was a food maniac. Even though he didn’t know how to cook food, he certainly knew how to eat it; a lot of it. He could scarf down a horse in a few seconds if anyone dare let him try. It smelled like cake, but the scent fluctuated so often in between the streams of heat that he couldn’t tell anymore. It went from cake, to pie, to something else entirely.
Finally, his childish soul caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a two-story hotel. Glistening from the newly appointed coat of paint, it stuck out like a sore thumb in a sea of sand. A thick pillar of black smoke billowed out from one of the windows, rising into the sky to give it a gloomy feeling. He stopped in mid-air, allowing his purple aura to fade away. The place honestly looked pretty good, like a paradise, almost. It definitely seemed.. livable? Could this have been like.. a free hotel? Did whoever was in there let people rest up for a bit? He had certainly hoped so. He could use a good nap right about now. Or shower, but food the most. He was so hungry. Probably the hungriest he’s ever been! He shook his head in disbelief. He had heard stories before about desert ‘mirages’, often playing tricks on the weary minds of those who travel. He very well could have been experiencing a mirage. It kinda seemed too good to be true. A nice, almost luxurious palace to stay in out in the middle of nowhere, with civilization and FOOD. A deep, exasperated grumble from his abdomen below let him know that he couldn’t pass anything like this up. He had to see if it was real.
Ryo lowered himself to the dunes below, limping towards the structure. He lightly intensified his ki in hopes of alerting someone in there that he was out HERE. He prayed for whoever it was to be friendly, because he wasn’t going to be able to last another battle. He waved his hands to and fro, yelling out. “Hey! Is anyone in there? I know you have some fooooood! I could really use some..? If I don’t get any food, I could let it rip.. and it won’t be pretty if I do that..!” This was more or less a lighthearted joke as opposed to a threat, but if the stranger’s in there actually knew what his gastric juices contained.. then it very well may have been a hazard.

ROSE was currently in the middle of thinking about how to properly dispose of the biohazard that her boss had created, as well as the one that would probably result from the baking attempt that was currently in progress. Her eyes were still fixed on the dark cloud of smoke that was still being added to from the stream that was drifting out of the kitchen window. Maybe she should have just asked to be paid in comic books and then find her own way to fund her cake nomming needs. Too many more failed attempts from Nai-Ran and the former hotel might have been able to be classified as a bio hazard. She really didn’t want to have to start handing out hazmat suits to all of their guests...
As ROSE was debating on where to acquire so many protective suits in the first place, she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her. ”Hmm?” The synthetic girl spun around to see a man with black and purple hair trudging his way in the direction of the freshly painted building. It looked like he was walking with a limp, and he was waving his arms frantically above his head. Another lost traveler had stumbled upon them, huh? Where were they all coming from? Wherever this guy had wandered in from, he made his intentions quite clear from the get go. He wanted something to eat or he was going to let loose the gas. Okay, that last part was just weird...
”Hello Weird Guy! Welcome to Fort ROSE!” the green-haired android announced as he came closer. Until she learned their newest visitor’s name, she had decided on a nickname for him. Though, something was a bit off about his declaration of wanting food. He had stated that he knew that they had some. Sure, it was a fair guess that a building like that would have munchies packed away, but what made him so positively sure that... wait...
ROSE’s eyes widened as she turned her head to look back up at the smoke. He couldn’t have possibly meant that, could he?! ”I’m sure we could find you something to munch on, but is that what you were talking about?” she asked meekly while pointing her thumb back at the smoke. ”Trust me, Weird Guy. You don’t want any of what that’s coming from. I wouldn’t be surprised if it dissolved your tongue. Or your throat... Or your stomach...” The android could have gone on, but she was pretty sure that the unnamed man got the point. She felt kind of bad talking about the boss-lady ‘s cooking like that, but this was for his physical safety! Still, he was a guest. Nai-Ran had specifically instructed her that they wouldn’t be turning away any visitors, so she might as well at least invite him inside to see if there was anything actually edible to be fixed up for him.
”C’mon in and make yourself comfy though! The boss-lady sucks at baking, but she can cook pretty decently. I’m sure she wouldn’t have any issues with fixing up something that can actually be digested,” ROSE said as she skipped over to the wooden double doors, opening one and motioning for Weird Guy to enter.

Ryo’s eyes dropped as he saw the green haired humanoid female emerge from between the doors. Not particularly in the attraction way, but more or less “A girl with different colored hair?! That’s awesome!” Though, Ryo didn’t have much room to talk about abnormal hair shades, seeing as he himself didn’t have the usual. He smiled, looking towards the black cloud of smoke. He didn’t mean the ‘threat’, about farting and all. He reached up, scratching the back of his head. “Ahaha! Thanks! And yeah… it smells like food. “ He lifted his free arm, extending his finger to point at the grey accumulation of smoke. Despite being severely beat up (In terms of his appearance) he seemed generally happy about finding a place to eat.
“I’ll eat anything! I haven’t eaten for like… 20 minutes! Maybe even 23 minutes!! My stomach is killing me!” His abdomen roared alongside it’s owner, indicating that he was indeed hungry. Boss lady..? There was another lady in there cooking food? Did she have freaky colored hair too?! Obviously, she had proven herself to be bad/semi-bad at baking, but according to the girl welcoming him inside, she was a decent chef. This caused a giddy look to spread across his face. Food was his.. his life. Aside from training, it’s all he knew. He paused a moment as the green-haired female explained what might happen if he even attempted to eat the ‘boss lady’s’ food. “Wait what?! For real?! You guys can make food that does that?! That’s so cool! You gotta show me how it works! Do you put like, eyes from crazy monsters in it, or maybe even the heart of a demon?! “
It wasn’t odd or out of place for Ryo to ramble on about such things. He usually did this with ANYONE who said something he found remotely ‘cool’. He’d have prattled on for hours and hours had the female not jestered for him to enter the building. He was also working on that, seeing as it pissed a lot of people off and generally put him in the position to fight all the time. Some people on this planet weren’t exactly ‘Friendly’! He slowly trudged himself through the dunes below, peeking his head between the two, glossy wooden doors. A benevolent gust rolled across his face like a soft blanket tucking him in for the night. It was an amazing change from the putrid, humid heat that smothered the land outside. He nearly fell to his knees. This was perfect!

Geez, how badly must the heat have been getting to him? Still holding the door open, ROSE took another quick glance up at the smoke could. How anyone could mistake that smell for the smell of something actually edible was beyond her. The guy looked seriously beat up, so whatever happened to him might have messed with his brain.
The android’s brain damage theory was only further solidified when Weird Guy informed her of how long it had been since he had last eaten. Twenty minutes?! It had only been twenty minutes and he was already talking like he was dying of hunger?! Ignoring the obvious problem that his digestive tract must have moved faster than some of the heroes with super speed she had read about in her comic books, he looked like he had been wandering through the desert for at least a day! Was the reason he looked so beat up because he got into a fight with a three course meal or something?! ...A fight that he might have lost, from the looks of him.
A devilish grin spread across ROSE’s face as Weird Guy lived up to his nickname and went into how it was possible for a failed attempt at baking a cake could literally melt any and all flesh it came into contact with. Of course she hadn’t meant it literally, even if the dark sludge that she had seen sitting in the cake pan could have in absolutely no way been good. ”No, dear traveler! Such a dish contains no monster eyes, nor demon hearts! ‘Tis a closely guarded secret that’s been locked within the confines of this establishment for a millennia!” ROSE declared, her voice taking on an overly dramatic tone. She figured she could be hospitable and have a bit of fun with Weird Guy at the same time. She would have even offered him some scenery since he was there looking for food if she hadn’t been so busy chewing on it herself. ”I know I have a duty to protect such a powerful secret, but I simply can’t hold it in any longer! The ingredients that make up this dish that devours flesh so readily are...”
Before the android continued, she took a deep breath before lowering her voice until it was just above a whisper. ”Flour... Sugar... Butter... Eggs... Milk... Baking power...” With that, she placed the back of her hand to her forehead and threw her head back as if she was about to faint from the taboo that she had just spoken of. Her little display only lasted for a few moments before she started chuckling and stood up straight again. ”Actually, it’s just my boss trying to figure out how to bake something that's fit to eat. She’s a bit new to the process,” ROSE explained once her charade was over. Normally she would have liked to continue on a bit more, but the guy had already thought she was being literal about making a dish that could dissolve someone’s innards.
Nai-Ran was slithering down the hallway as ROSE and their new visitor walked through the front door. ”ROSE, when the recipe calls for you to ‘grease the pan’, does it- oh! We have a guest! Welcome traveler,” the serpentine lass greeted the two of them. ”Just the boss-lady I was looking for! This is Weird Guy, and he’s in need of something to munch on. You know, something that won’t make you sick...” the green haired android informed her. Nai-Ran was a bit confused about the name, but her friend’s little jab at her attempts at baking a cake made her cheeks flush a little bit in embarrassment. The young woman had been under no delusions that so far all of her end products had been pretty terrible and not fit for consumption. Perhaps a break from that would actually do her some good.
”Erm, of course. Ahaha...” she laughed nervously at her companion’s remark. She quickly regained her composure and turned to the man with multicolored hair that looked incredibly relieved just to be indoors. ”Allow me to introduce myself. I am Nai-Ran of the Rassuto, but please just call me Nai-Ran. Follow me please,” the serpentine lass instructed as she started slithering her way to the former hotel’s kitchen area. Thankfully the smoke had already finished clearing out of the room, though it still smelled like something had been burning in there. The dark sludge from her last attempt was still sitting on the countertop right next to the window, still cooling off so that it could be properly disposed of. ”So, do you have any dietary preferences?” she asked as she slithered over to the large refrigerator that stood in the corner. Hopefully the guy was a fellow carnivore. She had just come across an abundance of meat from her last outing. Mt. Paozu was fairly close to their location, and with it, plenty of Paozusaurus. Thanks to her first encounter with her friend Ninjin, she was no stranger to how to skin, cut, and preserve the meat from the large dinosaurs.

His boots ticked against the tile floor as he cautiously made his way into the establishment. He hadn’t been inside of an actual building for.. weeks. The past few weeks, probably even a month, he’d been outside, away from any sort of city or civilization. Now, although he had seen a plethora of people, he never set foot in in any type of building. He was sleeping, eating, and training outside. His previous battle had left him severely injured to the point of actually having to sleep for a day or two between musty rocks. It wasn’t his ideal choice for a bed, but anything could have worked as he passed out immediately.
The green-haired android had started off on how non-diabolical the recipe for the innards-dissolving cake actually was. She mentioned that she was the guardian of the recipe which had been stored away for millennia. Millennia?! Wasn’t that like, a hundred years or something?! Or was it a thousand..? He always got his numbers mixed up. He turned on his heels as the beautiful android had explained exactly what this recipe was. A powerful secret? This meant adventure! Ryo’s eyes lit up in excitement as he listened on, nearly balancing on his tipsy-toes. He was the pure definition of the saying ‘A kid in the candy store’. He was ready to hear the absolutely devious and earth-shattering ingredients that made up the rapacious cake.
Before long, Ryo noticed she was listing off normal components to a regular cake.. but her dramatic stance afterwards really sold it! He was still hooked! “An egg?! Really? Where can I get one of those!” He may have figured out that they were normal elements, but his childish-like demeanor got the best of him. He nearly fell face first as he rambled on about how exactly to get an egg, not even considering the fact that an ‘egg’ was an everyday item. He fell back to his feet, his cheeks flushing a deep crimson color. He finally realized that his foolishness had taken over. He covered his mouth, watching as the maid-uniformed android chuckled off the joke. Before he could redeem himself any further, another feminine voice echoed behind him.
He turned to see a rather beautiful women ‘slithering’ towards him. That’s right, slithering. The bottom half of her body was like a snakes!!! What was going on here?! His jaw nearly dropped to the floor when he witnessed this.. well, astounding sight. He snapped himself out of the astonishment trance, bringing his eyes back up to her blood-red orbs. He didn’t want to make things awkward or possibly offend her by staring at her ‘tail’ the entire time. “Uh thanks, my-my name is Ryo.. I’m here for food, really! I haven’t eaten in FOREVER…. And my tummy is empty..” He clutched his stomach tightly, doubling over towards the floor.
“It’s nice to meet you Nai-Rain! And.. ROSE? I think it was ROSE! Or Petal, maybe Dandelion?! I like Dandelion the best! I could call you Dandy! Space Dandy, since you look like you’re from space! Hahaha, I’m kidding.. but I really like the name Dandy.” Before he knew what was happening next, Nai-Ran had already begun making her way down a corridor. He turned on his heels, running after after. He waved his left hand through the air, waving towards ROSE. “See ya Dandy!” His face contorted into a look of disgust and shock as he looked at the pan of black smudge sitting on the kitchen counter. And to believe, he was willing to eat that… he still kind of was, though. Seeing as he was extremely hungry. “Uh… anything big? I’ll eat anything big, really! Like uh.. like chicken? or a turkey? Or even a dinosaur?! I could eat a big dinosaur if you have that! Anything, I promise!”
