[Thread PL: 3,100] [HEAVY WEIGHTS ACTIVE] [Current PL: 775] [Dr. Daria Hayta's PL: 100,000 PL]
"Um, lizard guy, where is nearest bathroom?"A red skinned lady donning a closed lab coat asked an arcosian civilian, the blue haired brenchian grasping herself rather tightly. She had managed to make it onto this planet after such a long flight, returning to this familiar planet for the first time in a long while. This woman was none other than retired IGFF wrestler, and current scientist Daria Hayta, a woman who lived on Planet Beppa for the longest time due to her mother's sickness and her recent projects. That project you may ask? Well, it's the project that was standing a good five feet behind the woman... A towering bug-like creature that stood at a staggering six foot nine inches tall, with a rather bulky upper body while it arched forward a little. It's face being rather smushed and compact, as its beady looking eyes eyed up the green arcosian, it's nostril holes flaring up a bit as it got a couple whiffs of this being's power. Though being a familiar scent of the Arcosian, this person was nothing more than a guppy compared to the monster that was Somatotrope. "UUUuuuuuh, try the Falafel House down the street. You don't need to pay in order to use the restrooms there." "Ah, thank you, good day to you and all that. Come Soma, we have progress to make!" Daria explained in her heavy accented tone, practically sprinting to the breakfast providing store down the road. Soma barely able to catch up to the red skinned woman as she bolted through the door, making her way to the restroom. And because the door was too small for Soma to walk through, he had to stay outside. He was rather saddened by this, though the sadness was rather fleeting as a new emotion took hold of him as he turned around, noticing that there was a rather large group of Arcosians walking out of the nearby buildings, finding their eyes glaring daggers into Soma. Freezing from just the anticipation alone, Soma realized that he was all alone at the moment. Eyes widening in complete fear as his multiple hearts started beating at an increased rate, the white armored bio-droid started sweating profusely as it started feeling an immense fear of danger. Sliding around on it clawed heels, Soma bolted into the alley way beside the Falafel House, running into it and behind the building, hopping right on into an Arcosian dumpster. Though, the instant he got in the dumpster, he felt mounds of garbage crawl upon his skin. Purple waffles and green pancakes that were half eaten lay in this dumpster, the scent wafting from them was quite decadent. Forgetting his own fear, Soma licked his own lips as he got easily distracted by the food inside the waste disposal unit. Grabbing huge mounds of the discarded food, he started shoveling the food straight into his gullet, satisfying the appetite that was now making itself completely apparent. The mountain of food that was piled up in the garbage unit starting to quickly dwindle, as the Kurimu and Saiyan cells within the bio-droid started to take hold of him, making him eat more and more. His claws even dug into the metal of the dumpster, creating sizable holes in them, and shoveling the metal into his mouth. The metal was also delicious as all hell. This was a free all you can eat banquet out here, where Soma was king of the foods! Koldar Frost Hiem-L Verst

"Incoming ship," a robotic voice alarmed in a shipyard just outside the Arcosian capital, in a watchtower. An air force officer there rushed over to a command module, where the data was being streamed to a teal colored panel. A robot had been manning, inputting a request command to the ship high above, through a satellite. As it did, it read aloud the details of the ship coming in, "Ship type: Cruiser. Name: Frostar. Commanded by Captain- Commander Koldar Frost. Grade: 3. Request for landing granted. Directing ship to dock bay 45." The Frostar shoved through the atmosphere to the blue gem far down below. Atmospheric plating spread across the hull of the ship, the docking bay doors having long since been closed so the heat of reentry didn't enter the innards. It took its time coming down, coming across the enormous capital of Arcose, standing as if it hadn't seen war here in centuries! Koldar, along with many of the crewmembers, were overjoyed to see it, Koldar being amongst the few who were so happy that tears flowed from their eyes! Koldar, however as the ship was brought into the nearby docking bay a few blocks away from the Falafel house, he wiped his tears away and sent an order throughout the ship via loudspeakers, "Alright everyone, listen up! I have one thing to order to you all, and I expect you all to follow it up..."He waited a moment, to let everyone wonder what the order was. A few seconds went by, as they wondered what it was. The sound of a door sliding open, with quick steps from the Commander were heard barely over the Microphone, with hastened breathing. He shouted out, "Last twenty people remaining on the ship have pay for everyone's bill at the Falafel House!"Koldar had basically initiated a race to the entire crew to rush off the ship, and see their families, cheating with this moment to get off the ship before everyone else! The commander had already rushed out to the nearest entrance and landed on the surface platform of the loading bay before 2 workers running checks on the ship! The commander waved to them, and told them, with his microphone turned off on the scouter, "Hey'a lads... You may want to move outta the way."( Verst, Hiem-L)

“Is Commander Frost always this unusual in his methods?” Hiem-L-01 asked, looking momentarily to one of the Frostar’s crewmen as the words of their leadership echoed throughout. The subject gave him a strange look. To be completely fair, the Arcosoid had only spent a mere space jump’s time aboard the Battlecruiser, meaning that he had very little understanding of the peculiarities of their charge. To add to that these men and women had spent far longer away from their home planet than he had done, which only added to the disparity. It was almost as if he was an outcast, but F3R0US-9 – the Brenchian cyborg with whom he had collaborated while aboard – had assured him that was not the case.
“I will take that as affirmative,” the prototype noted.
Disembarking was no easy task. A ship of such scale as the Frostar had a massive number of troops and additional, supplementary staff. Plus, given Koldar’s unusual call, it was about as easy a task as wading through a field full of angry buffalo. And yes, he had done that while on Earth, unfortunately.
On the other hand, Hiem-L had since developed a far more effective means of transport than merely walking. Though not exactly kosher by the crew’s standards as they legged it out of the ship’s sprawling decks, the Arcosian Android committed to what he deemed to be a more effective means to getting out. Blue lights flickered to life, etching aerodynamic fins upon his shoulders and calves as artificial Ki generators kicked to life. In an instant he took flight, jetting over the heads of many of the troops and escaping the ship’s confines. However, rather than stopping at the Commander’s side, he continued on for a moment, veering upwards to get a better look at the Capital.
“Commander,” he messaged Koldar’s scouter: “Thank you for bringing me back to Arcose.” A moment of silence passed.
“Unfortunately, I have no direct need of sustenance as you and your troops do,” 01 explained, hovering high above as he scanned the sprawling metropolis, “but I would not mind accompanying you to this ‘Falafel House’ you speak of. If Emperor Retsu is back in Arcosian territory, then I have no need to worry about his well-being. I am sure he won’t mind me taking some additional time to learn and develop while I await further command – socialisation is just as important, correct?”
With that, the Arcosoid descended. The illuminating airfoils of ‘Stafræn Tilbúningur’ flickered out of existence as he landed just a few yards away from where the Commander was…
Hmm!

Soma couldn't help himself as he ate more and more of the metallic container of garbage, shredding up both food and container up to be consumed by the white carapace. Leftovers, garbage, metal, and everything in between was utterly devoured, helpless as the big bug bio droid drained the metal thing clear. In just mere minutes, there were no survivors as the big burly bug sat in the back of the alleyway, somewhat contented by the amount of grub he just ate, sat in the dark alley way when a new scent lingered in the air. A rather big scent wafting from the streets, one that beckoned him back out into the open. His body moving instinctively, moving from the empty remains of the desecrated garbage container and out onto the streets. Moving his head left and right, his body instinctively froze as his eyes lay upon a group, a large group of arcosians sprinting down the streets... In his general direction. Almost as if someone let all the air out of Soma's balloon of calm, his hearts started to pump into overdrive as they all neared, each one of the space lizard ice-jin's being strong enough to wipe the floor with him if they tried hard enough. Especially with the metal constraints that Daria put on his arms, which restricted his strength and movement. Arms and legs went weak and shaky as they all drew near. Eyes widening in fear, a shriek escaped his lips as he instinctively used one of his own defense mechanisms, a layer of steel building over his skin and carapace, completely turning turning the giant white and violet bug into a silver statue. Frozen with an expression of fear, Soma internally hoped that they would all pass him by and not pay him any heed. He remained frozen, unable to move within his new layer of metal skin, but completely aware of the area around him. Finishing up her business, the lab coat wearing brenchian left the bathroom as she dug into her coat. She hadn't bothered checking her messages recently, so she put on her verdant sunglasses that she always kept in her coat, flipping it open as she put them on her head. Eyes peering into the green lenses, she powered it to life to find a surprise awaiting her. What was found was that there was a stampede of Arcosian power energies heading down the streets. Their destination was unknown for now, but there were two particular signatures which stood out. One belonging to a synthetic being, and the other being immensely stronger, so much so as to probably be called a commander. A good opportunity to showcase her own creation! Brandishing her patented bright white smile, Dr. Daria Hayta exited the building and found her own creation standing at the entrance of the alleyway... As a metal statue. Having a bit of a deadpan face at the moment, she buried her face into the palm of her hand as this was something she feared. It seemed there really was a bit of a defunct trigger inside of Soma's DNA, despite her best efforts to train that weakness out of him. Probably a reaction of being presented with an immense amount of stimuli, but something in her gut says that this was a much deeper set issue. Standing a few feet away from her Bio-droid, Daria waited to see if anyone was going to stop and inquire about the spectacle that was Somatotrope.

Koldar's soldiers flooded outta the ship, Voca bursting through a crowd of them, many flying out all over the hanger and getting knocked out as he uttered, "You won't stop my appeti-""Voca, you idiot," Koldar shouted at his second slapping his forehead with both hands! He looked around at the damages done to the hangar, and to the soldiers too, before looking at the Heran and telling him, "You're paying for the damage done AND the whole bill!""B-but but...""I don't want to hear it! None of it! Grandpa orders it! Starting by helping the medics bring those poor saps to the healing sector! Also you're handling the paperwork!"Voca looked back at them, then to Koldar, and then to the ground as he slumped over in defeat. Meanwhile, a message from Hiem-l came to as the soldiers rushed out the ship excitedly, the Arcosoid stating that they'd be joining but not eating since it couldn't, just as it landed. Koldar sighed, telling them, "Your loss... Follow me!Koldar took off to the air, intending for Hiem-l to follow him. Koldar wanted to make sure the rest of the soldiers didn't do what Voca just did as they sprinted across the streets of the Capital to the Falafel House. In a few minutes, they'd arrive by the falafel house, with almost all of which rushed inside, asking for tables to fill the whole place up! They didn't even take into account the weird silver bug statue that had been standing outside. Koldar, however, did spot it from above, not recognizing this strange thing from the past. Oddly enough, too, it seemed to be resonating with energy and had its own energy signature! A line quickly formed outside that begun to wrap around the building. Koldar kept partial attention to them, shouting to them, "Hey! Make sure you leave these guys the chance to continue working. There's plenty of people wanting their food!"He sighed, before looking at the peculiar statue, and then to the Akai Brenchian woman in a lab coat behind it! She seemed to have been smacking her face out of embarrassment, her attention looked at this statue. He acknowledged her, questioning, "Are you alright, ma'am? You seem a little flabbergasted at something with this silver bug statue."( Hiem-L)

Verst had been busy completing his shift of work, he had spent the night wandering the halls making sure there were no members out of bed. He'd only run into one member rushing out of the kitchen with a midnight snack in his arms. He had caught him, reported him for food theft and took the food back to the kitchen. So when the call to leave the ship occurred. Verst was just getting into bed.
He lazily got dressed and prepared some money to pay for Koldar's forfeit. He then ventured outside the ship too see the current. commotion. Oh god what a commotion it was.

The ability to fabricate something out of effectively nothing was proving a great asset, the Arcosoid that was Hiem-L-01 conjuring fins to cut through the air once again as he ascended in Commander Koldar’s wake. Being able to fly through the air was even more efficient than walking through the streets – the cost of a small amount of extra energy was quickly recouped by cutting corners, literally and metaphorically. Numbers flooded his systems as he recorded various Power Levels, both civilian and soldier alike, effectively scanning the streets for any signs of a potential threat in the making. Even apart from his liege, he could not help but follow protocol to some degree.
“So, this is this ‘Falafel House’,” the steely sentinel noted as he descended alongside the Commander, observing the messy queue of men wishing to enter the establishment. Apparently this was quite a popular location, though 01 could not exactly determine why. Limitations of being mechanical by nature, he assumed, all the while reformatting the geographical map of the city and including such labels as the Falafel House during the process.
An interesting ornament, Hiem-L considered, observing the statue that Koldar had pointed out. Insectoid, not at all dissimilar from the strange arthropods he had encountered at floor of Earth’s oceans, the architecture seemed strangely intricate. If Arcosoids could rate artistic talent, then no doubt he would have, but instead all he could do was ignore the object’s presence. To him, it was little more than an inefficient use of resource material – ferrous metal that could well have been used in some other technology, and man hours wasted carving it.
A blank, inky façade stared at the statue.
“I disapprove of wasted resources and time for aesthetic appeal,” Hiem-L-01 stated, cold and matter-of-fact in his ways, though not actually trying to seem as harsh as his synthetic voice might have sounded…
How reno, Hiem-L-01! Also, sorry for the relatively poor quality of this one; I’ve not really expressed this side of Hiem-L before, and this is my sixth post today!

Still having her face buried into her hands, she missed all of the many soldiers that ran down the street, filling up the breakfast building quite fast. Her mind racking itself over as she tried to figure out ways to make her creation to stop acting foolish, but was halted by a voice piping up in front of her. Rising out of her stupor, she gazed at the Arcosian Commander standing in front of her, asking her about her current mood. "Yes, I am completely ashamed right now. Disappointed even. My creation is acting like a complete fool, utter moron even."
It was only now that she was able to notice the arrival of another being, one that was synthetic in nature. Looking up and down him, it seemed that he was a creation of similar nature as to Experiment 404, except instead of manipulating genetic materials it was the manipulation of technology. And, judging from the way he was talking, he was insulting the statue. Daria's eyes flared up a bit at this little bit of hypocrisy, knowing full well that this machination could probably feel energy coming from the statue itself, but still went ahead to insult this creation of hers. Walking around the metallic bug statue, she grasped the Android who had a head shaped like an angular Zoon Seijin's, and looked him right in the face.
"Comrade," She began rather cold and sarcastically, "You are creation too, no? Then you have no merit in stating such business, or else you are insulting your own creators. If you bother to actually research, this statue is more like you than you would ever realize..."
Making that brief statement, the red skinned brenchian spun around on the heels and punched the statue right in the mid section, while shouting out, "SOMATOTROPE, STOP THIS FOOLISHNESS!"
Her punch was not meant to be damaging in the slightest, just to crack that layer of metallic layer of skin covering Soma's body. Little by little, cracks started to create at an exponential rate across his body, until it completely cracked open, the layers of thin metal falling onto the ground and disippating into pure, raw energy, revealing a fleshy carapace of a bug standing there. Finally able to move his body once more, Soma continued to shiver in place, but wasn't as scared as it was since its creator was there. Though, it was facing two beings before him, one scentless and the other half as strong as Daria herself.
"Introductions!" Daria commanded, snapping Soma to life as he brought up a timid hand and waved left and right. "Name is Somatotrope," The nervous Bio-Android said out loud, "And this is creator, Daria Hayta."
"DOCTOR Daria Hayta," The Brenchian said with a smirk, hoping to at least get some kind of positive reaction out of this, as her bug creature towered over everyone despite its rather lame power levels as of now.

"Creation being a- Is this a living being?!"Koldar looked the thing up and down, after the comment the Brenchian made, seeing it still unmoving like a statue. Hiem-l, meanwhile, arrived and after looking it over, sent an insult about misusing materials like this. Apparently, this caused the burly Amazonian-like doctor to walk up angrily, grabbing towards the head of the android! He stepped in the way, putting his hand up and letting it be tightly squeezed silently, as she spoke. He didn't want to have a fight the first thing getting on Arcose, just outside this restaurant! She made a valid point to the Arcosoid about not insulting the creation of another. Koldar spoke up, grunting with an eye twitch, "That is true... Please don't cause any-"The grip to Koldar's hand was released, that hand being used to smack the silver bug, 'statue,' calling it Somatotrope! Koldar shook his hand a few times while watching the metal wreathing the body of this bug shatter and disappear on the ground. It looked fairly fleshy, shivering in place due to the cold environment. The Brenchian demanded introductions of the fleshy bug. It waved a claw, speaking in a broken basic language as it introduced itself, followed by the Brenchian named Daria Hayta. Daria was quick to correct it by adding in the Doctor title with a smirk! "A pleasure to meet you both, Somatotrope. Doctor Daria! I am Commander Koldar Frost, commander of the Frostar battlecruiser and all these men you see before you. My friend here is unit Hiem-l, the first line of specially made Arcosoids that serve the Empire. This one, in particular, is bodyguard to the current Emperor, Retsu," Koldar introduced, still shaking his hand, "You've quite the grip, Doctor! Stronger than most people I've met on Earth, and you say you've made this shivering bug next to you, as well?"( Verst Come on outta the hangar and meet with us, if you plan to!)

Current PL: 2,035 Form: Suppressed
--------- She honestly found it difficult to believe that this could ever happen. She definitely didn't remember anything happening when she was younger. The Wintergreen family in particular tended to be of good, strong health. However, about two weeks ago, her servants had found her collapsed unconscious on the floor of her hotel room. And, although it was hard to believe that she herself could ever get sick, she found there was actually a good reason as to why it was happening. According to the doctor she had gone to about this, she had contracted a virus from the Arcosian colony planet she and her family had been living on for the past years, and, the reason she had still been in good health when she had got it, was that the virus was harmless while it was on it's cold planet, but, after a period of time of its host being back on the planet, it had started to become a harmful one. Thankfully, though, medication had since been made for the condition, but, even after she had started taking the medicine, the virus had already started to effect her strength. All of those years of training, and, she was now currently only as strong as an Arcosian who had barely exercised at all. Still, her doctor held out hope for her to be able to beat this, and had told her that she should still exercise in her spare time to help beat the virus, but, the intensity had to be scaled back, and could only progress at a slow pace. However, it didn't seem like her work outs the past few weeks had done as much for her as she wished. Still, she supposed as she was able to exercise more, she would start finding obvious progress at some point. At the moment, though, she was travelling. Although, she didn't want anyone to see her, the Doctor said she should be getting as much fresh air as she could during the healing process. So, no carriage, but, she still didn't want others to see her, or know who this currently diseased Arcosian noble lady was, lest her enemies and rivals get word of it. So, she not only rented a hover palanquin without her family symbol, but, she also stayed in her suppressed form—And, being in that form would probably help bring her strength back up more quickly anyway-and, wore a white cloak that covered most of her muscular body. Hopefully, most people without scouters or the ability to sense energy would simply mistake her for one of those who had a rare horned true form. As the hover palanquin floated through the street, a few of her servants staying close to it, and close to her, she took a peek through the right side of the palanquin. She wondered how many Arcosians were used to hover palanquins these days? While she herself had liked her usual carriage much more, she had to admit, the palanquin did have a certain grandeur to it. She just hoped the lack of any particular noble family symbol wouldn't draw too much attention from her civilians. However, a few minutes later, the Palanquin stopped. Her old, gray-haired, red Brenchian servant with the large moustache, Rois went over to the right side of the palanquin, and looked up at her. "My lady, there appears to be a bit of a commotion at the old Falafel house. Not only does it seem like many Arcosian officers are there to enjoy breakfast, but, it seems like Commander Frost himself is there, along with some sort of Arcosian military android, and talking to an incredibly muscular Brenchian woman—Although, she's nothing compared the grandeur to your true form, I assure you of that—and, a strangely bug-like being, who can apparently go into a statue-like state. What are your thoughts on this, my lady?"Koldar Frost...Well, to be honest, she hadn't known as much about him as she could've liked, but, if he took his men to a falafel house, it seemed like he might be more of a captain of his troops than she expected. And, what Rois had said about the other two- She looked straight at him, with one eye peering out of her cloak. "Find out what is going on, but, do not mention my name at all...If they ask whose wondering, simply tell them 'a curious Arcosian noble lady'. You know word of my disease can not reach my rivals' ears..."The 5'6" Brenchian nodded, and slowly but formally made his way over to where the other four were. As soon as he got close enough, he proceeded to clear his throat quite loudly. "Greetings, there. Apologies for interrupting you, good sir, good ma'am, and- ...Good others.", he said, having no idea about to call either the bug-like creature, or the military android. "I simply came over here to ask something for someone of great lineage and blood. What exactly is going on here, if I might ask...?"---------

Shaking the hand of the Arcosian Commander, it seemed that the Arcosoid had grown silent from her stern words, which brought a hefty smirk across her crimson lips. She took pride in how she was able to diffuse situations like these, having grown in strength with how she was quick witted and wise with her own words. Hearing the words of the Commander who had introduced himself, it seemed he was a rather jovial sort despite him being a top dog in the Arcosian military service. A bit of a juxtaposition with how she was taught that most military jar heads were quite literally uptight jerks who couldn't take a joke. Koldar over here breaking all sorts of expectations!
Though, she broke the handshake the instant he brought up the moronic Emperor who couldn't do a lick of action himself. Retsu. Just the name alone brought disgust within her, as she couldn't stand a coward who would resort to someone else to do their job for them. Having the common knowledge of knowing who the current Emperor was, and the circumstances which led to him coming into power, there was no doubt in her mind that Retsu was utter scum compared to Abzerute, whom she respected... Though, Wyntre was still the best in her eyes, as that Empress was once a nobody who trusted a nobody doctor's claim to create the next line of ultimate warriors. Years later and Daria now stood next to Soma, who had the best potential to reach the next levels, but had many things holding him back that were all internal issues.
"That Emperor isn't worth anyone's time," Daria spat out with utter disrespect, not caring of those who were around or what their allegiances were. "Trash took the throne through seedy means, and doesn't deserve to rule. If anything, damn bastard oughta get what he gave to Abzerute. But asides from that, I appreciate the complement Commander."
Dropping her hands to her side, she heard a voice coming forth and greeting them all. Turning to face this other person, it was a bit of a surprise to see an olden brench acting rather hoity toity in his greetings, while he inquired upon the current situation. Nothing was really going on, but it seemed that this guy had an obligation to answer seeing as how he was asking for some third party. Looking at him briefly, she would elbowed her creation in the side and gave a jerk of her head, giving her creation a chance to answer for them.
Gulping rather loudly, the giant bug started to formulate words throughout his head before responding. "Nothing... We are... Just discussing things... Before we go eat some more. Is that good of an answer enough?" Soma inquired himself while his eyes darted back and forth between all the people here, his rather odd and normal voice permeating throughout the air while open ended enough for anyone to hop right on.

The moment Koldar brought up Retsu, Daria retorted in a disrespectful tone that Retsu took over in a ill-gotten manner, stating that he deserved what he gave Abzerute. Koldar brought both hands behind his back, while Hiem-l seemed to become silent and walked away, towards the palace, going by a Brenchian servant of sorts. He greeted them very formally, before asking what was going on there. The bug ended up speaking in response, sounding as nervous as a first day recruit, telling the servant that they were discussing things, before going out to eat. It asked if that was a good enough answer, too, to which Koldar retorted, "Quite so!"Koldar turned back to Daria, to respond to her comments earlier. "I recognize when one is strong and experience it firsthand, ma'am. To be quite honest, I'm not too sure how it exactly happened, that Retsu came to be in power of the Empire. However, we ARE talking about a man who a general before his rise to the throne... But like many, he's probably enjoying that position a bit much and will eventually be needing to be brought down to a normal level. Enough about politics, though," Koldar spoke, not showing real interest in the subject. Rather, he was interested in their new arrival! "Now you appear to be a servant of sorts, and judging by that palanquin over there, I would say... A Lady's servant?"( Fahren Wintergreen)

Seeing as how the servant seemed to cease communication with the group, it seemed that he was only here to gather information and that was that Grasping Koldar by the shoulder, Daria would add on, "Before we end Politics talk, I want to solve your mystery. He came to power by hiring some mutt of a Bio-Warrior. The same warrior who took over the Arcose force, went to Earth, started a huge scene, got her ass kicked, and went into obscurity along with the absent Emperor. Just needing someone else to do the dirty work doesn't qualify as a capable leader in my honest opinion."
Letting that linger in the air for a couple seconds, Daria clapped her hands to help signify that there was going to be a change in her tone and topic all at once. Smirking, she tugged on Koldar towards the Falaffle house, saying nicely, "Why don't we leave royalty to do royalty things and get us some nourishment? We eat to our fill to commemorate new kinsmanships!"
Though her words were nice, a loud growling noise echo'd throughout the frigid air as her stomach loudly growled. Chuckling meekly to herself, Daria kept silent as her hunger wasn't going to satiate itself. On the other hand, Somatotrope was having his own issues as he had left the group temporarily to try and figure out the mystery of the Falaffle house door. It was too small for his size, as he was much more bulkier than the usual customers were.
Crouching downward and sucking in as much of his gut as possible, while elongating his neck upward, he side swaddled over through the door, hoping that his awkward walking movements would be enough to enter the building. Thankfully it was, but just as he was almost all the way through, his body got stuck on the door. Eyes widening as he realized he couldn't move back or forth, the large bug creature soon realized that he would need some assistance getting through the door, especially as there were a couple of people wishing to leave the restaurant.
"Um... M-May I have s-some help here?" Soma's voice cried out in embarrassment, unable to believe that he was caught in such a position such as this.

Daria put a hand on Koldar's shoulder, talking about the bio-warrior that Retsu had with him. She was an honest individual, not one to hold back her thoughts! She asked if they should just leave the things of royalty to royals, so they could all eat. Daria stomach growled greatly, a meek chuckle coming from her with only silence to trail after. "Of course! There's-"The Commander's words were cut off by the big bug guy needing assistance with the door! Koldar snorted a laugh, walking over to the meek giant while stating, "Let me assist you there, young man!"It'd been stuck upon the top of the door by one of its shoulder blades. He floated up a bit to grab one of them, pulling it down with great strength just enough to get it unstuck. He gave Somatotrope a light shove after, to show he could get moving again, as well as stating, "There ya are! Now, let's get us all a seat. Can we get a booth for 3, one capable of fitting this big guy?"The waiter nodded, before telling them there's gonna be a 15 minute wait, but if they'd like to order something right now, they may do so! "Excellent! Oh, and for all of those coming in that are part of the military, please put them all under my bill... They are my men," Koldar requested of the waiter, who simply started gawking, walked away for a moment, and an old looking Arcosian, with a physically long face, came up to them in a red dress shirt and blue tie to compliment his blue dome and partly red face. "Hello there, he spoke, "You wish to cover all these soldiers coming in?""Aye, I am Commander Koldar Frost.""You wish to pay for all these people coming in?""Indeed! Is there a problem?""That's already thousands of zeni worth of food... Can you-""I am quite serious sir! I'm sure I can pay for it all.""... Would you like to take up a challenge, in that case?"( Somatotrope I'm gonna let you come up with the challenge: A food challenge, to be exact!)

"Th-Thank you," Soma began as the much older, smaller arcosian went over and started helping Soma out, going as far as pushing on parts of the big guy's body in order to get through the door. Though, as the Arcosian Commander got all touchy grabby, Soma couldn't help but utter, "W-w-watch where you're putting those grubbers guy! OWOWOWOWOW, IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE RIPPING MY SHOULDER OFF!" And with a tug and a push, Soma blundered on into the restaurant, landing right on the ground with a hefty thud as he groaned out a simple, "Thaaaaaaaaanks."
Twitching on the ground a little, Daria slid her way into the establishment as she followed Koldar to the booth. Passing by the downed body of Soma, she reached downward and grabbed her creation by the leg, dragging him across the building towards the oversized booth. And on the way, the large bug practically bumped into each and every one of the stools, almost knocking one over. Helping her creation to the table and up onto his feet, the duo took their seats as a waiter came and made small talk with the Commander about who was fronting the bill.
Then there was talk about a challenge, which piqued the interests of the Doctor herself. Raising her voice, she questioned, "A challenge you say? BRING OUT THIS CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW!"
Without even questioning it, a nearby waiter let out a whistle, while Daria secretly told the original waiter their order, to which one of the Ankoku chefs ran into the freezer, and came out with something massive. A four foot tall, three foot diameter wide amorphous blob which shined way too many colors, as if someone took an Alolan muk and mixed it in with each of the 50 ice cream flavors of an ice cream shop. The icing on that little cake was that it was shaped like a massive burger, without even looking like a burger or containing any parts of a burger.
"Boyo, this be the Friezer Burn, in which w' slap all manner of col' fud together, slam in da freez, and only tek out when somefoo wanna challeng. Bon Afadavit!"
Slamming the plate down on the table, the Ankoku chef waddled back to the food area, but not before clicking some kind of timer which started the table's countdown. Soma's nose started sniffing at the thing while Daria was a bit surprised herself, not expecting a challenge like arm wrestling or something that shows actual skill. But this piece of food was rather stinky to normal noses, a pungent smell decimating the nostrils of Daria, causing her to cover her nose. Soma, on the other hand, could smell energy from it, meaning that this thing would be delicious. Speaking up, the big bug asks, "If no mind, can I eat all of this?"
