<div class="floatleft">(https://i.pinimg.com/564x/1c/11/6f/1c116f54d896658e71b2a8d3de107c78.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Brett Roman (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=341089.msg16149669#msg16149669)<br/><strong>Wearing:</strong>Gator-green, solid T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers.<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>Friday, 1 April 2050, 8:40PM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Golden Peach Chinese, Downtown, Raven City<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Poppy, Sashiko<br/><strong>Content:</strong>Food is here!<br/><hr/>Brett meditated for a few seconds on Poppy’s question. “You just do,” he answered. “We have people who fight for our country, and it is because of their sacrifice that we can eat, sleep, and work without a care in the world. It’s voluntary in our world and people sign up to do it.” He then added a disclaimer. “I’m not trying to sound ungrateful by the way. I am just stating how it is here.”<br/><br/>His soda hovered before his lips as he continued to stare in contemplation. “Adventure, I guess, is what you make of it. I can barely afford rent. Not many can afford adventures. There’s nothing interesting about wandering the country, hoping to survive off luck. If you want to travel to interesting places, it’s easier to just have money and pay for it.”<br/><br/>He sipped his drink and lowered it. He gave Poppy a scrutinizing gaze before his eyes shifted to Sashiko. “I think you would do well in botany Poppy. People like flowers, and they also like buying groceries. You could be a Florist or a Grocer.”<br/><br/>He hadn’t had a chance to share his thoughts about Sashiko when she shared her own thoughts about the matter.<em>Peon work!</em>Brett frowned. The Dragon Slayer’s power certainly went to her head. Then again, if he possessed such power, he would have probably felt the same way.<br/><br/>“People are going to find out about the dragons soon, and for your safety, I think it’s best that you guys don’t reveal just yet that you can take them down. We need to see how the government is going to handle it. If they can kill the dragons, then you guys don’t have anything to worry about. You all could just focus on going home. If they can’t kill the dragons…” He fell silent as concern hardened on his face. He had just met them, and he was already scared for them. Strange things tended to disappear. The government liked to keep supernatural things quiet whether they existed or not. He still wasn’t sure if aliens were real, and he wasn’t sure he’d ever find out. But there were Dragon Slayers here, and if the government learned that they existed, they would probably disappear. “We’ll worry about that when that time comes. You guys just need to keep a low profile.”<br/><br/>Sashiko’s grumbling made Brett smile in amusement. “Someone’s<em>hangry</em>,” he said.<br/><br/>“We had to order what we wanted. Sometimes, they make the meal fresh. It’s not always premade. That could ruin flavor and texture. Don’t worry though; it’ll be worth the wait when it’s ready,” he reassured them. He wondered if they should have ordered an appetizer. With how large the portions were, and Brett just not knowing how much Dragon Slayers could eat, he was careful not to order too much food.<br/><br/>Fifteen minutes later, a waiter arrived with a cart and parked it next to their table. Platters of fried rice, stir fried meats and vegetables, steamed buns, fried noodles, and other dishes were set upon the Lazy Susan. Brett’s eyes grew at the portion sizes of all the food. He thought he had been careful about ordering, but there was so much food. He couldn’t believe it.<br/><br/><em>Shit, we ordered too much,</em>he thought. At least it wasn’t too expensive.<br/><br/>“Do you need anything else?” the waiter asked.<br/><br/>“Yeah, can we get a refill on drinks please?” Brett requested. He then glanced at Poppy. “Just water for her.”<br/><br/>He was certain Sashiko was satisfied with her tea. Once the waiter retreated to fulfill his request, Brett sighed and apologized, “I didn’t mean to order too much. Whatever you guys don’t finish, we can just take in a box to go. Maybe you can eat it for lunch tomorrow.”<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://64.media.tumblr.com/aea609b367e4eb82cdef38c9571b8811/8b44106a9a62ecc5-91/s540x810/92f5ee0e1fe828bf2a027c97e7e21c10f86b61aa.gifv) (https://64.media.tumblr.com/31c36948c67a9e2db6127aede0dacbf5/864b25a464d03695-3a/s500x750/5538dba849fb599ab6d4304d3f40dabb28082b12.gifv)</div>
