The sun dipped ever lower over the city named Tetrapolis. The skies were blotted out by the structures of concrete, glass and steel, which seemed to reach out towards the clouds. "According to the latest structural inspections, it is known that nearly 35% of the buildings are past fifty stories high..."<br/><br/>"Can you mute your phone? Seriously, looking at the encyclopedia, don't you just listen to music or something?" Ian turned the car easily around the corner. "It's not like I'm driving over an hour. And the voice is damned annoying. It really sounds like a robot." He rolled his eyes, eyeing the GPS as well as the traffic feeds. "And, here we are. Get out get out." He slid out of the door as his partner, Kirei, groaned and stepped onto the lit pavement.<br/><br/>"Looks like we're here early." Kirei drawled, making Ian look at him. Nearly everything Kirei said sounded like a complain or a whine which was annoying as hell. "I'll grab the seats, you can go order grab while I wait for the others." He grinned somewhat selfishly. "Be sure to buy enough beer."<br/><br/>"No man, we are sitting there," Ian pointed at the ring of seats located around where the food was prepared, "We order, they cook and hand it to us directly. No waiters."<br/><br/>"Right," Kirei dragged a wooden stool and sat on it, "So what do you recommend?"<br/><br/>"Anything that pleases you but their beef is quite well prepared." Ian blinked and the GPS and traffic feed winked from his sight. "They serve pretty much anything you can think abou eating other than insects."<br/><br/>"Ew. You eat them?"<br/><br/>"Yeah, once in Malaysia. Grasshoppers are a good source of protein I must say."<br/><br/>"You disgust me."<br/><br/>"Thank-ee." Ian then turned his attention to one of the chefs who was looking at them, "Two plates of bamboo shoots." The man nodded and began taking out two small plastic plates.
