Walking the Fish Bowl Early in the Week's Month
«•»«•»«•»«•»«•»«•»
Can you imagine a sight where three humans males get high with a God? In a rather nice, spacey living room? And all of which were either getting something or staring off into space?
Well, the author shall feed your imagination as to what happened after the two music producers and the basketball player decided to share one single brownie amongst each other.
Adrian's living room was silent, because the TV was turned off a while ago. The four were initially sitting on the sofa, but now Jay had just gotten up to get something from the kitchen. Adrian was next to James, and Zamasu was still on the adjacent side of the sectional sofa, this time he wasn't staring at the ceiling. Grey eyes were also gazing somewhere off in the distance along with Adrian and James. The video game the three played was turned off as well, but they still had their controllers on the coffee table, or on their laps.
They had ordered Snacky Bundles sometime ago as well, because all of them were obviously hungry. A snacky bundle is a large box with a customizable bunch of chips, sweets and candies meant to serve a group of people. Even though it is widely used for parties and hangouts, a lot of stoned people order these bundles when they have 'munchies' because a lot of the snacks in there are literally munchie material. One box is enough for a dozen or more people, but they ordered three whole boxes of this stuff and ate every single snack in the bundles. Yes, all four of them, four males ate the same amount of food to serve at least forty eight people.
This is what weed does to you.
All of the boxes were empty and now sitting in the kitchen. Jay returned with a bottle of juice, sitting next to Adrian. Zamasu moved to sit next to Jay.
"Guys, I bought a thing of juice, I dunno if it's gonna be enough for us."
Adrian looked at Jay. "If anything… that's not gonna be enough for the four of us." He was articulating as he spoke. "If there's four of us and only one bottle of juice, that's not gonna be enough because one bottle is not gonna be enough for the four of us."
"Exactly dude, I'm trying to get a drink too." James added in. "It ain't gonna be enough because we're trying to drink together, and we can't drink together if we only have one bottle."
"And if we don't have enough juice then we can't all drink juice because we don't have enough juice for all of us to drink."
"Exactly! You know what, I'll hook you guys up with some then- oh." Jay had realized that he had three other bottles of the same juice in his jogger pockets, and he only pulled out one for himself. So he brandished a bottle for each and every one of them. "I mean, I dunno if I could drink these because they're not from the fridge. Like, the ones from the fridge are usually good when they're cold."
"But it doesn't matter though, because… your drink plus the three drinks equals four, and the three drinks plus your drink equals four." James pointed to the small bottles respectively. "So that means we could all drink together. And all the drinks together means that we could drink juice together."
"Yeah, exactly but like… these drinks aren't from the fridge so I dunno if it's gonna be cold or not because, you know, sometimes the drinks that aren't from the fridge aren't cold. And at the end of the day, the drinks that are from the fridge are the ones that are cold, and the ones that are cold are the ones from the fridge."
"Ohhh, so if these were from the fridge, then they would be cold?" Zamasu inquired.
"Yup, exactly what I'm saying like…"
The Kaioshin frowned. "That's stupid, because it's cold if it's from the fridge, so if it's not from the fridge then what the heck?"
"Exactly!" Adrian snapped his fingers at Zamasu in agreement. "You know what, I'll go get some ice so that these drinks could be cold." He stood up with his bottle in hand.
"You know, ice is a savior, dude." James smiled. "Because if we didn't have ice, then these drinks wouldn't be cold, and they wouldn't be cold if we didn't have ice."
"Exactly, and the ice is from the freezer, which is next to the fridge so if the ice wasn't in the freezer then we wouldn't have any ice." Jay shrugged.
"But that also means if we didn't have ice, then these drinks wouldn't be cold." Zamasu added in.
"Right! And if they're not cold, then they're not refrigerated, and these drinks taste the best when they're refrigerated."
"And it's only right that we'd have a fridge, because without a fridge then we wouldn't have cold drinks." James pointed.
Jay nodded. "Yo, that is true dude. Like, one time I need to cool something down, right. So I put it in the fridge in order for it to cool because a fridge is what cools things down and what cools things down is a fridge."
"And you had a fridge there in order to cool it down, so that thing wouldn't have been cooled down if you didn't have a fridge." The basketball player was scratching his chin in thought. "And if you didn't have a fridge the thing wouldn't have been cooled down."
"Word."
Adrian's head popped out from the inner window of the kitchen. "Guys, the ice can't fit in the bottles, so I put mine in the fridge."
"Ohhh dude put mine in the fridge!" Jay held out his drink and the other guys did as well. Adrian took each and every one and went back into the kitchen while Jay was asking him something. "Why can't the ice fit in the bottle though?"
"Because the ice is too big for the bottle, so the bottle can't be cooled with ice." Was his simple reply.
James frowned. "So if the bottle was too small for the ice, then that means the ice can't cool the bottle down."
"That's why I'm putting them in the fridge so that they can cool down." Adrian returned and sat in his respective seat, between James and Jay. "I def' bought a fridge to make drinks cold, because a fridge is what you need to make drinks cold."
"Yes, and if you don't have a fridge, you can't have cold drinks." Zamasu was playing around with the pants of his jeans absentmindedly.
"That would suck bruh." Adrian shook his head. "Lemme tell you guys a story; this one time I was at the supermarket, and I saw this dude. And I only saw this dude because I was in the supermarket."
"Exactly." Jay nodded. "Because if you weren't in the supermarket, you wouldn't have seen that dude."
"Yeaaaah, I wouldn't have." Adrian was smiling.
Jay sat up. "And if that dude wasn't in the supermarket…"
"Then I wouldn't have been in the supermarket!" Adrian's smile got bigger at the revelation.
"Exactly!"
"That's crazy, dude." James shook his head.
"But then that means that he saw you because you were in the supermarket." Zamasu was gesturing as he spoke, pointing between Adrian and some other space. "And you saw him because… you were in the supermarket."
"Exaaaaactly, dude! That's that crazy shit bruh."
"Deadass, that's crazy dude." Jay shook his head.
"And that means that if you weren't in the supermarket, you would have never saw this man." The Kaioshin looked just as incredulous as the others.
"That's so true, but like I saw this dude, and he wanted to pop off on me because I was on the checkout line earlier than he was, and I wasn't supposed to be on the line at that time, and at that time I wasn't supposed to be on the line because that's… just not the time that I was supposed to be on the line, you feel me?" The guys were listening intently as Adrian told his story. "So, this dude, he just wanted to pop off because I was finna checkout, and because I was finna checkout he wanted to pop off."
"You shouldn't have been on that line, because you were on that line then that guy wouldn't have wanted to pop off." James added on, followed by Jay's 'deadass'.
"That's what I'm saying bro!"
"Yeah, and if you weren't in the supermarket, and if he wasn't in the supermarket, there would be nobody popping off on nobody." James said.
"Woooooow, dude I didn't even realize that though. But like, this dude wanted to pop off and try to me- but because I was in the supermarket, I got lucky. So I slipped through with a jab real quick and he fell, because I got lucky."
Zamasu nodded. "That's good though, if you didn't get lucky, then you wouldn't have jabbed him. And if you didn't jab him, then you didn't get lucky."
"Right!" Adrian looked at the green man. "Like it's all luck when it came down to it at the end of the day, because you need luck to be dealing with some people sometimes."
"Exactly and if you don't have no luck, then you can't be dealing with those people." James said, and everyone had gotten elated.
"I did not realize that!" Jay's eyes went wide. "Some people just get lucky because they in a right place, and when they in the right place then they get lucky. And they only got lucky because they're in the right place."
"If you're not in the right place, then you're not going to get lucky." If there was physical description for Zamasu's facial expression, it would be the same look a scientist has went they're deeply contemplating a newfound discovery. That goes for everyone within the living room at the moment.
"Yeah, I only got lucky because I was in the supermarket, and if I wasn't in the supermarket I wouldn't have gotten lucky and jabbed that dude. That's what's crazy though- like you said," Adrian gestured to James. "If it weren't that dude, I wouldn't have gotten lucky."
"And if it weren't for you being in the supermarket, and if that dude wasn't there, you two wouldn't have popped off and you wouldn't have gotten lucky to jab him." James held his head in his hands.
"Wooww! That's true!" Jay looked at the basketball player. "I didn't even think of that."
"That is crazy." Zamasu shook his head. "I wasn't even thinking about that, but you also have to think about that, you have to think about thinking about stuff."
"Exactly, you have to think about stuff because if you not thinking, then you just don't have stuff to think about." Jay looked down at his lap shaking his head.
"Yeah, you need to think about thinking about stuff, because if you don't think about stuff then you're not gonna think about anything."
Zamasu exclaimed. "And you're never going to amount to anything!"
"Exactly, exactly." James agreed.
"That's true." Jay replied.
"Woooow dude, that's crazy to think about man." Adrian scratched his chin. "You always gotta have time to think, because if you don't have time to think, then there's is no thinking time."
Jay looked between the dudes. "There's always a time to think bruh. Always. If you don't have the time to think, then you're not thinking."
James snapped his fingers. "Bruh that's what some people need to understand nowadays, because nowadays that's what people need to understand, because when you thinking nowadays there's always something that you gotta understand. And that's that some people don't understand shit."
"Exactly." Adrian nodded. "Because you're not thinking, so if you not thinking then you're not gonna understand shit."
Jay shrugged in agreement. "Exactly, there is just certain shit you won't understand if you're not thinking.
"That's what I'm talking about, that's exactly what I'm talking about, and people like to sleep on me with this shit. And when I sleep, I sleep and that's it, but if you sleep on me then I'ma sleep on you, and we both sleeping then we sleeping together."
"Deadass."
"And if we're sleeping together, then that means together we sleep." James looked down as Zamasu took hold of a coaster on the coffee table, and he nodded.
"Exactly, together we sleep."
"We're united as one." Zamasu added.
"And as one, we're united." Jay smirked, and the guys gave each other looks of epitome.
"Deadass, man." Adrian gave him a dap, their hands staying together as the other two joined in.
"Quadruple that shit, Quadruple it, because that's what you gotta graduple." Jay looked down at the four hands all joined together as he said.
"That true, because three plus one is four, and one plus three equals four." Adrian pointed at their hands, which were now released from the multi-dap. "And if you… three plus one, that equals four also."
"Ah, but then that also means that four is three plus one." Zamasu raised a finger.
"Yeah, exactly." Adrian nodded.
"Right, and four is deadass…" Jay started and then the four of them said at the same time. "One plus three."
"Exactly!" Zamasu exclaimed.
"Woooow, dude that's crazy..."
"That's what I'm talking about!" James said. "That's what I'm saying!"
Jay spoke. "And when you thinking, you gotta be smart. You gotta be thought-smart, that's the certain shit you gotta know."
"Exactly, because if you not thought smart, then you not smart in your thoughts." Adrian pointed outwards, gesturing.
Zamasu shrugged. "Why are you even in your thoughts if you're not smart? I reckon you have to be smart in order to understand your thoughts."
"Exactly!" Jay stood up to get something, while Adrian added on.
"And if you're not smart in your thoughts, then you're thoughts aren't smart."
Jay returned with a potted orchid, placing it on his lap and holding it with his hands. "Right, that's that shit you talking about, because when you're talking shit that's that shit you gotta talk about, you know." He then shrugged and scratched the bridge of his nose because it was itchy. "You just gotta talk that shit."
"Exactly." Adrian nodded. "Because if you not talking, then you're not talking shit."
"Yeah!"
"And if you're talking, you're definitely talking shit."
Jay smirked. "And if you're shitting, you talking."
"Wow." Zamasu was reclined against the sofa like the others in stupor. "That's something I didn't think about…"
"Yeah, same." James sat up. "And if you're shit talking to somebody else, then to somebody else you shit talking."
"And if you're weren't shit talking to somebody else, then nobody would hear you shit talk." Adrian looked at James.
"Yeah like- that's crazy. Like, this whole conversation is crazy dude. If we weren't having this conversation, then this conversation would be had."
"Oh man, deadass…" Jay smiled. "I'm happy to be talking with y'all right now in the living room. Like… if we weren't in the living room right now, we wouldn't be talking."
"If we weren't in this house, we wouldn't be talking at all." Zamasu's eyes were wide. "And if we weren't talking, then this conversation wouldn't have happened."
"That fucking crazy… all of that shit, just how much shit went down in order to come down to this." Adrian pointed at each and every one of the guys next to him. "None of this would have happened… if none of y'all were here. I wouldn't have been sitting on this couch with the three of you if you three weren't sitting with me right now."
"And since we sitting with you right now, and we talking right now, then the four of us are talking." James' head swayed with a nod, his gaze was downcast.
"Yeah, like all four of us in this one room… I would have been asking how it came down to this, but I know how now." Jay looked at James. "It's because we all here, right now, in this moment."
"And if we weren't here in this moment, this moment would have never happened dude!" James gave Jay that same agreeing look that every single of them had on their faces during this whole interval of what seemed like an hour.
"And if this moment had never happened, we wouldn't have thought about it!" Adrian shared the same look.
"And if we didn't think of it, then this moment would've never happened!" Zamasu chimed, and they all shared their 'wow's and their 'damn's along with daps and smiles.
"All of this is happening because we're all here. We all are living and we're thinking, and when we thinking, then we're all living." Jay's fingers were against his head as the smile on his face didn't falter.
Zamasu shared the same sentiment, except he was sitting up and articulating as he spoke. "Because if we're not thinking, then we're not understanding. And if we're not understanding, then we aren't thinking about anything."
"You always gotta be thinking in life, man." Adrian slowly arose in his seat along with Zamasu, sitting up just as much he was. "Because if you're not, then you ain't understanding anything. And to think is to understand, and to live is to think, so to life is to understand!"
The four males within the room had expressive looks on their face that went beyond verbal description, because each and every one of them were conveying the same exact thoughts and actions at nearly the exact time. It's like they knew what one was about to say, and still spoke their thoughts because they just know they'd reply. Their words went from wondrous, to cognizant, and finally they were all making sense of one another's thoughts. This couldn't have taken place with any other person, with any other people, but these four. These words wouldn't be spoken at behest of anyone else but these four, because they were all in the same place. Their smiles were communicative, fully expressing their thoughts through the means of gratitude.
Zamasu's gaze went in different places as that statement waltzed through his mind; first the floor, then the table, and the wall, and then back to the floor again. "I know, I never even thought about it like that, but like that, I thought about it."
"Deadass, and I'ma give you guys a pound." Jay gave Zamasu a brofist, along with Adrian and James. "And I'ma give you guys a pound because I'm feeling you guys, and at the end of the day since I'm feelin' y'all, then a pound is what I'll give."
"Yeah, and since you feeling us, and we feeling you, then we all feeling each other." Adrian looked up at Jay as he stood.
"Bruh, that's true." James nodded. "We're all in this living room with the feels."
"And the feels are what we're with in the living room." Adrian nodded, and Jay kissed his teeth with a smirk.
"Shiieeet, you guys wanna play some shit?"
"Sure." Zamasu nodded, and the other guys agreed. Surprisingly enough, they did have a semblance of awareness, just about enough to know that they still had the controllers out. And the guys were also holding random objects, James at one point got up and came back with a pineapple that was sitting on the kitchen countertop, and Adrian was keeping a pillow on his lap. Jay still had the potted plant and Zamasu wasn't holding the coaster anymore, he leveled up to a brush that he found sitting on one of the mounted shelves in the living room. It's fair to say that these guys knew what they doing, and they knew that the four of them were just about to get into playing something, and were fully conscious of what their plans were…
Right?
...
If you guess that they knew what they were doing, and actually decided to turn on one of the game systems just to play some random game and pass time while they were still high, then you're wrong.
You're dead wrong. Like, way off wrong.
They were upstairs in Adrian's large room. Adrian had the end of a spoon handle in his mouth. James had another spoon in the same fashion, edge of handle against his mouth. Jay was sitting on the bed, and Zamasu was sitting on the cloud chair, which is basically a fluffy beanbag-like chair that levitates above a silver conductive platform. The two spoon-clad men took turns booping each other on their heads with the spoon, while the bystanding producer watched along with the God, who was scheming something in his mind.
Okay, okay, your facepalm couldn't get any harder than this, but there is a backstory behind the situation. They didn't play any video games, no, but when they turn on the TV, Tom and Jerry was still playing, and it was on a particular scene where Tom gets hit with a spoon. In their altered state of mind, that scene was hilarious to them, enough to make them topple over in their seats cracking up over a simple spoon-bop. Yes, even Zamasu laughed, like, he was on the floor laughing his Potara earring off. They didn't actually come off, he probably wouldn't even notice if they did though.
He probably would've thought they had an errand to run or something.
After their laughing raid, James proposed the genius idea that went along the lines of 'Bruh, you can make a game out of that'. That rouse brought them out of their laughter, they cascaded from giant smiles and hearty chuckles to wondrous looks. Apparently, it occurred to them that spoons weren't hard, nor would they injure a person that badly. And also, seeing someone get a spoon bop to the head was fucking hilarious.
Nobody thought they would take that seriously, though. Nobody could have thought that when the only people in Adrian's house right now were the four of them.
Zamasu stood up, and left the room without a word. At first, Jay frowned, but because weed speaks louder than physical cues, he went back to watching the two men bop one another's head with spoons. The Kaioshin came back with a spoon in hand whilst leaving the door open, and Jay looked up momentarily with a frown. Zamasu placed his finger to his lips, telling Jay not to say anything. He noiselessly sauntered behind James, who wasn't facing the door and therefore couldn't see the Kaioshin holding a spoon up. Adrian saw this, but Zamasu silently urged him to keep quiet, and without warning, he bopped James' head a bit harder with the spoon and retreated back out of the room.
The timing was perfect, for when it was Adrian's turn to bop James' head, Zamasu came in and bopped James' head, making it look like it was Adrian's doing.
With the fact that their spoon were on their mouths, their pops weren't even remotely close to hard. They weren't even proper bops, matter of fact. So when Zamasu bopped James' head, it made him wince slightly and look at Adrian in confusion while the other was trying not crack up too hard. Jay pretty much fell back against the bed seeing James hold his head and Zamasu dash out of the room.
Adrian bent his head down for James to bop down, and he did so. When it was Adrian's turn, Zamasu slipped back into the room to bop James' head, making the basketball player wince and hold his head again.
"Ow!" James could barely get the word out clearly because umm… spoon in his mouth. So it sounded like a disgruntled wound, and Adrian was suppressing a telling laugh. Jay's mouth was pursed, but he was silently laughing as his face scrunched up from the hilarity.
The third time was exceptionally different. Since they were all high, Jay and Adrian couldn't help their stupid giggles at how Zamasu's smiling green head was poking out from Adrian's door opening. James was just as high as the others, so he just thought they were laughing at how hard Adrian can hit him in the head with the spoon that he was holding in his mouth.
He's partially correct on that, though.
Zamasu sauntered in again, creeping up slowly like a saucy burglar, and he held the spoon up as he did so. Once it was Adrian's turn again, he bopped James' head again and dashed towards the door with a chuckle as stupid as theirs. James held his head and started to look a little frustrated at Adrian, who looked like he'll laugh himself into an aneurysm.
"Fucking hell- switch with me! Switch spoons, now." Adrian took his out and wiped the handle of it and handed it to James while he did the same thing, because James was getting upset at how Adrian could bop him harder than he did. So in order to rectify that with his logic, they had to switch spoons because Adrian's spoon had a higher power level or something? And therefore switching would make James' hits stronger?
Power levels don't apply here, in this situation. This is Universe 10, not Universe 7.
They did switch, indeed. But that didn't solve James' problem. The basketball player, once Adrian bent his head down, literally held his way all the up to face the ceiling and back down in order to exact the same force that he had been receiving. The sight made Jay snort so loud that both guys paused to look at him, and when they paused it just made the reddened-faced Asian laugh harder. James' head was upwards while Adrian's was downwards, and they both had spoons in their mouths, for crying loud. How could this not get any better?
"Whuts hso fhunny?" James looked at Jay, and he shook his head multiple times.
"Nothing, nothin'- go on." Jay wiped the small tears that were coming to his eyes, and James went back to facing the ceiling and then whipping his head back down. James didn't have a good grip on the spoon though, so when he went down it hit Adrian's head and bounced onto his nose before falling to his lap.
Zamasu was watching this, and he pretty much fell to the floor laughing his ass off, dropping the spoon in plain for James to turn around and see. The basketball player saw the spoon on the floor near Zamasu and he turned to his lap only to see that his spoon wasn't right there. The spoon actually fell on his lap and landed on the couch, right below his lap. Since he was wearing joggers, he didn't actually see the spoon, so a quick jump to conclusion was made in his mind.
"How the fuck did you get my spoon?"
You're probably reading this, and asking… what is the author on? Nothing.
Nothing but creativity. And it's vast than a motherfucker.
Adrian couldn't help himself any more. He could only tap James and point to the area of the couch where his lap was, and he did all did while speaking somewhat coherently mixed with cackles. James looked down, saying that his spoon wasn't there until he stood up and saw it. Zamasu quickly snatched the spoon again and stood back up while Jay hilariously motioned for him to continue on. James sat down, charged up his spoon bop attack again with better grip this time, and Adrian raised his head on his turn while laughing. Zamasu came in, but started laughing and fell to his knees before he could hit James in the head, and James turned around.
He dropped his spoon. "So you were doing all this bullshit?!"
Zamasu was too busy laughing to answer immediately, his high-ass self couldn't help but find everything funny. That went for everyone else in the room, even James who was trying to look serious couldn't keep the smile from flickering on his face. He turned to the two music producers who had also lost it, even though they lost it a while ago. "You guys are dicks."
"Heyyy, listen." Jay sat back up from Adrian's bed, his samurai bun was kind of lopsided at the moment. "I didn't know he was doing that shi-" He started laughing again.
Adrian shook his head with the smile on his face. "I'm sorry bruh, you lost. I beat you."
There were scores to this game. Yes, you could lose a spoon bop against someone, isn't that dandy.
"Nah, I beat you! Th'fuck you talking about?" James sat back down in his seat with his spoon in hand.
"Fine, we'll rock, paper, scissors then." Adrian held out his hand and James eagerly grabbed it. "Best outta 4."
"You can't do best outta 4. That's an even number." James shook his head.
"Wait, you guys." Jay frowned. "You're doing rock, paper, scissors… not a thumb war."
He said that because James and Adrian were holding hands, as if they were about to do a thumb war. Adrian looked down, and James released his hand. They both did best out of 3, with James winning against Adrian.
"It's confirmed, I won!" James did this groovy thing in triumph, which honestly looked pretty good even though he was high.
"No you didn't. I won." Zamasu pointed to himself, and this basically started some lengthy redundant argument between them about who won the spoon bop game. Nobody was even scorekeeping in the first place, how the heck could they determine a winner? Several minutes after their weird arguing, they all had calmed down and a silence passed through the room, followed by a yawn from Adrian.
"I'm tired."
And the other three could vouch for that sentiment, because they were all extremely exhausted. Sure, they didn't do anything else other than eat a bunch of food, talk about fridges, hit each other with spoons, and argue, but weed makes you darn tired. Even Zamasu was looking quite exhausted, and he stretched as if he had just sat for ten hours. At this point, everybody felt like their limbs weighed 592 pounds (and five hundred ninety two is correct because they calculated it. Don't ask) and could barely leave the room and come back if they tried. Jay decided that Adrian's bed was going to be his bed for the time being, he laid down where his friend's fresh pillows were and was already dozing off on his soft bed. Adrian found refuge on one of his couches, sleeping on his stomach, while James was already laying down on the other couch with his eyes clothes. Zamasu reclined back into the cloud chair, the fluffy material already inducing his sleepiness. You gotta keep in mind that this man had nine edibles, and one brownie is enough to get four guys high. So he technically had 36 full servings of delicious weed brownies. The four men individually laid comfortable, each and every single one of them sleeping soundly like babies.

Last night, Lexi had called Jay's phone at least seven times overnight. She didn't know where the guys were, and had she did the model would have went back to Adrian's house that night. During the time, she got a call from one of the main coordinators of her designated fashion show, he had told her that her arrival has to be pushed back an hour. It would make sense, she was flying out to a different country, complications of said runway were reasonable. Her plan was to fly either later on tomorrow, or early on the day after and she more than likely would take the earlier route because time zones were very different between her home country, Tycho, and Efilia, which is the country she has to fly to. By the time she would get there, it would be nighttime in that area, so she could just sleep normally since she's bound to be tired from the 6-hour flight.
Ashley had asked her if she was with the guys, and Lexi said no. Apparently Adrian's girlfriend was even trying to reach him but he also wasn't answering. She called James as well but he didn't answer, and if only Zamasu had a phone she probably would have gotten some word on their whereabouts. She saw Zamasu as someone who is very vigilant, so he would have been responsible enough to tell her where they were if he were given a phone, right?
She had to guess that they went somewhere, and left their phones at Adrian's house in the process. But if they did leave, they surely should be back as of now shouldn't they? It's 12:50 at night, even. She doubted Zamasu would want to stay out for so long because of how introverted he is. Rebecca even had to leave and go back home, saying that if Zamasu wanted to he would just fly or teleport back to her home. Ollie didn't seem to make any noise, he was remotely quieter than usual. And when Lexi came into her house, the pug was cuddling next to Loki in front of a book.
According the Rebecca, the Kaioshin's habits had rubbed off on her canine children. It's not like they could read either, they just did that on their own.
That was last night. Right now, it was a bit past 11 in the morning. Lexi was in her own house wearing nothing but a satin nightwear kimono, the same one that Jay had bought her recently. Rebecca called, saying that she had a friend with her about fifteen minutes ago, and she may drive to the model's house to pick her up. Lexi did tell her that she wanted to go to the guy's home, hopefully they were actually there now, in order to see what they're up to and also to smack her boyfriend for not answering her calls. It's reasonable.
Lexi lived in a big rustic contemporary. The front walls where the living room was had glass windows, and most of the interior floors and ceilings were polished wood. Her living room had textured, cream limestone veneer walls, and her kitchen had more woody tones about its walls as well. Her house wasn't on a hill like Shona's but her bedroom also had a glass wall so she had a sweet view of the plains and distant hills she was surrounded by.
She looked out of at the glass wall in her kitchen eating breakfast. She would have ate in the living room for a better view, but Jay had squashed that bad habit of hers. After the woman finished, she received a text from Rebecca saying that she was right outside, and the model had changed into a simple red batwing shirt and short pants.
The car ride was simple, Rebecca, her friend and she talked up a storm about random stuff. June was her name, the woman had pretty cheekbones that amplified her smiles, sweethearted-light blue eyes mint colored hair. June was also a xenoarchaeologist, one who particularly does research on extraterrestrial culture. She was a sweet person, her and Rebecca got along for that simple common trait. Rebecca was already driving to Adrian's place just in time to see Ashley's car go through the gates as well. The doctor quickly closed in the distance and entered before the gates could close, which caught the attention of Lexi, but since she actually needed to see them, she would let it slide.
Rebecca waited in the car, she asked June if she wanted to leave but June chose to stay since she didn't know the guys at all. Both Ashley and Lexi had the keys to the house respectively, so when they opened the door they were met with a relatively normal sight, except there were minor misplacements that raised questions between the women.
Why was Jay's potted plant sitting on the sofa? Why is there a pineapple in the living room? How come one of the coasters ended up in the kitchen, and specifically only one? There were other things that Ashley had brought to her attention while she returned the pineapple to the kitchen.
"Why is the ice tray out?" Ashley pointed and Lexi frowned. The writer took it and opened the freezer, only to frown even more. "How come these bottles are upside down in the freezer? One of them is even open."
It was unlike either one of the two men to leave a drink in the freezer. They were much too keen to do that, even James knew this. And Zamasu probably wouldn't have touched these bottles on his own. Lexi went back into the living room. "They might be upstairs, Ash."
There was no sound in the house, both women paced upstairs and split up going into two guestrooms, only to find no one in either one of them. The last guestroom was empty as well, and Jay's room was also empty. Adrian's room was to the right and across from Jay's and the door was partially open. Lexi slowly opened it, to reveal the same four guys they haven't heard a word from since yesterday afternoon. They were all fast asleep; Jay was snuggly comfortable on Adrian's bed, Adrian's mouth was slightly parted and he was sleeping against a couch on his stomach, James had both hands resting behind his lopsided head on the other couch, and Zamasu's head was lolled back into the cloud chair with his mouth parted. All his limbs were hanging off the fluffy chair, and the levitating chair itself was rotating slightly. There were a few spoons littered about the place, and Adrian's phone was on the floor
They all looked knocked out. What happened yesterday?
Lexi sighed and motioned to Adrian. "You get your man and Zamasu, I'll get mine." Ashley went to her boyfriend and Lexi didn't even waste time to sit on the side of the bed to calmly tap Jay. Instead, she pounced on him and said 'Hey' really loud while shaking him awake. Jay pretty much responded quickly, and when he saw that the person vigorously shaking him was his beloved girlfriend, he blinked and frowned.
"Lexi… what the fuck? I was sleeping." Jay stopped to stretch, and Lexi leaned back to sit below his stomach.
"I called you more than nine times yesterday, and you didn't even pick up once."
Jay sat up and rubbed his mouth. "Wait, what? You did?"
"Yes."
She looked really annoyed, and Jay in his tired state couldn't help but apologize. "Hun, I'm sorry. I didn't know, I was asleep."
"Asleep at eight at night?" Her hands were on her hips. "You don't go to bed that early."
"What are you talking about?" It was his turn to frown now. "I slept mad late yesterday, you probably called me at a later time…" And then he blinked and looked around. "...wait… What time is it?"
"It's twelve fifteen."
"What the fuck?!" He exclaimed. "We slept for more than sixteen hours?!" Apparently, the munchies had gotten to them a little too fast and a bit too heavy.
"Well, apparently." Lexi turned around to Ashley, who after tapping her boyfriend's arm, and then she impatiently slapped his butt to ruse him up.
Adrian groaned, already knowing who hit him despite just waking up. "Ugghhhh, Ashleeeeeey, that's not cool…" She didn't even answer him, she went to Zamasu to tap him awake too. Luckily for her, Zamasu was shifting after a few taps. "Hey, hey, Zamasu. Wake up."
And he did. He opened his eyes slowly, greeted by a face that he also did not recognize until he realized this was Adrian's girlfriend in front of him. He raised his head upwards and looked around at the scene before him. Lexi was shaking James vigorously and the basketball player almost slapped her hands off of him before waking up fully.
"Rise and shine, boys." Lexi left his side and the two women stood back to see the guy each stretching and grumbling. Zamasu stood up and looked at the two women.
"Why did you wake us up?"
"Yeah, isn't it like… in the morning." Adrian stretched mid-sentence, and Ashley shook her head. It is also unlike both the music producers to sleep so late.
Ashley crossed her arms. "It's twelve in the afternoon."
"HUH?!" Adrian shot up and off the couch with a frown. "Are you serious?!" He looked to his holographic clock on his desk stand and was immediately greeted with seven missed calls, all from yesterday evening to last night. That holographic projector was connected to his phone, so he could see any notifications that would beam up on it. He slowly looked back at Ashley, who was giving him a very cross look. "Baby, I'm sorry. I-we uh…"
"What happened?" Ashley shrugged in confusion. "I found a pineapple on the living room floor, you left the ice tray out, you put drinks in the fridge upside down, and there are spoons littered around this room."
Each and every one of the guys had remembered what went down, and they all mentally made it a pact to not talk about it to these two women because the more they thought about it, the more retarded it sounded. The room was pretty filled with inconclusive 'umm's and 'uhh's, scratchings of heads, and lowkey guilty looks.
"I'll beat it out of all of you if you don't speak now, since you've got the both of us worried and shit." Lexi's hands on her hips as she took on a maternal timbre, and Zamasu frowned at her. She shot a frown back. "Well?"
The Kaioshin stayed quiet and looked away from her, ain't no way he would answer that question. Jay decided to break barriers, and his sight showed how high-key disappointed he was.
"We were eating… and we kinda forgot to put the spoons back."
Lexi tilted her head. "Says the guy who always eats in the dining room."
"Listen, okay… I did not feel like eating there yesterday." Jay explained.
"Exactly. We all just ate up here." James added in.
"He's right." Zamasu kept his voice affirmative, "They decided to eat up here on their own, that is all."
The women looked at each other. In their minds, they figured Zamasu was very responsible, so what he said was whatever went down. They wouldn't think that he would lie or anything, not that he totally wasn't lying to them right now, right?
Lexi looked at Jay for this one. "And that meant not answering your phones, you idiots?"
Jay stood up, and went to his girlfriend's side to hug her but she backed away with crossed arms. "Lex', I didn't have my phone on me at all. We were hanging out and we kinda forgot it. I'm sorry."
"Me too." Adrian looked down at the ground. "My phone is probably downstairs somewhere, I forgot it. My bad..."
Ashley sighed. She kinda had a soft side for her boyfriend, even though she calls him names a lot. But they're endearing names, and most of them are rather fitting, like dork. "Just... don't do that again. Zamasu's here, he's your witness."
Adrian, Jay and James shared a common thought while Zamasu looked up at his name being mentioned; No he's not.
"Zamasu." Lexi looked at the green Kaioshin who looked at her. "Ollie and Loki wondered where you were yesterday. I guess you four have gotten well acquainted with one another, but next time could you answer one of their phones if they're too lazy to get it?"
"He doesn't know how to work a phone." Came Adrian's simple reply.
"Alright, then I'll show you one day." Lexi shrugged. The guys did mention that she ought to demonstrate how a phone works to him, so it's confirmed. She'll be his mobile device mentor.
Ashley started towards the door. "You guys need to freshen up." She referred to her and Lexi. "We're gonna go out, and Rebecca and her friend are waiting in her car right now."
"Wait, she's here?" Jay fixed his shirt.
"Who's her friend?"
"A woman named June." Lexi looked at James. "They're both waiting right now, so you all should get ready." And with that they left Adrian's room leaving the guys to let out a sigh of relief.
Zamasu looked at each and every one of them. "Never speak of what happened yesterday to anyone."
"Bruh, we won't." Adrian shook his head, and the other two agreed as well. That was their little secret, no one else needs to know that.
Zamasu left the room and went downstairs, giving the women a quick 'Good afternoon' before going to where his sneakers were. Lexi turned around to look at Zamasu. "Oh, I almost forgot. Rebecca wants you to go home."
Zamasu paused. "Why?"
"Remember those strawberries that you ate?"
"Oh, please." The Kaioshin rolled his eyes. "If she thinks I'm going to replant all of them, then she's crazy."
Lexi chuckled. "It wouldn't be hard for you, wouldn't it? Can't you just do that summon thingy so that you can create a bunch of strawberries instead?"
"I could." The Kaioshin stood up. "But… no."
"What summon thingy are you talking about?" Ashley frowned. "Is that an ability your species has?"
"He can create anything he wants." Lexi briefed.
"Really? Wow…" She looked shocked. "That's some god-tier shit right there."
"I am a God." He declared, and nodded as Ashley's shock amplified. "Yes, my species are the Gods of Creation."
"Seriously?" She blinked. "How do I know if you're not lying to me?" Zamasu held his hand out, and a handful of strawberries were created right before their eyes. He looked down at his hand and picked up one of the strawberries to eat it. Ashley slowly nodded. "Okay. I kinda believe you."
"Kind of?" Zamasu raised a brow, and before he could unleash his God Split Cut, the doorbell rang. He looked over to the door just as Lexi stood up to get it. When she passed by him, he smelled nothing but friggin' orangey fragrance.
Just his luck.
The door opened to reveal Rebecca. "Hey, Lex', umm… where's Zamasu?" She leaned to the side to see the Kaioshin standing quietly. "Hey, how come you didn't return?"
"I was with the men upstairs." He wasn't lying on that behalf.
"He had a lot of fun apparently." Lexi smiled, and Rebecca's car door opened. June stepped out and closed the door, then she looked at Rebecca.
"What's going on in there?" June approached the door, and Rebecca stepped into the house motioning for her to come in which she calmly denied. Lexi decided that since the woman was nice, she could come in, so without much push June finally gave in to the offer, stepping into the house. Zamasu had now moved away from the main hallway and was now standing in the living room, so he didn't get to see the new guest at first. Once Rebecca came into the living room, the woman she was with was in his full view.
The mint colored hair kind of threw him off, it contrasted greatly with Rebecca's red hair. As soon as June was in the living room, Ashley immediately bugged out.
"Wait… THE June Mayerly?" Ashley pointed and looked at Lexi. "This is the friend you're talking about?"
"Yes…?" Lexi actually didn't know who she was.
Ashley looked at June, and gave her praise. "I've read all your works, you're one of my favorite writers of all time, like…!" She was ecstatic to see this woman in front of her and Lexi figured that June was also a writer. The model seriously did not know who she was.
"Thank you so much." June smiled humbly. "I really appreciate it." She turned just in time to make eye contact with Zamasu, who was on the far side of the living room. She stared, blinked, and tilted her head. "Who's he?"
Rebecca looked to where she pointed. "Oh, that one over there is Zamasu." She dismissively addressed him and smirked at the now irritated Kaioshin.
"Watch it." He raised an offended brow and a finger at her, and then looked at June. "Hello."
She gave him a wave with a sweet smile just in time for the guys to walk down and see Zamasu with the four women.
Jay frowned. "Umm, why is Rebecca in the hou-JUNE!"
Adrian stopped mid stride went he saw her too. "June Mayerly?!"
James exclaimed. "WHAT?!"
June smiled and giggled at the guys, and they started complimenting her on the works that she had done. Namely, an excellent movie based off of one of her books called Galaxa, and it is actually a classic amongst the guys as it came out a good ten years ago. She gave them each a gratified 'thank you'.
"Galaxa?" Zamasu looked at the group. "I've seen that before."
"You have?" June turned to him, and he nodded.
"It was interesting."
"Thank you." Her humble giggle was cute, not to him of course, but in general.
"So like… what did you guys wake us up for, because we kind of have plans to go to some place." Adrian addressed the question all the men shared.
"Well, you guys were sleeping for too long, and I wanted to know why you all went MIA yesterday." Lexi shrugged.
Rebecca added in. "Zamasu, are you gonna join them?"
He looked between the four women and the three guys that he had just got high with. He lowkey chose the right decision. "Perhaps."
She blinked, not expecting the answer. "Alright."
"We out soon, you guys? June, it was nice meeting you- wait, did you all eat yet?" Adrian looked at everyone in the room. Some said yes, the guys said no. "Fine, I'll whip something up."
"There is a lot of people in here dude. Lemme help you." Jay followed Adrian to the kitchen and Ashley felt compelled to help the two guys so she joined them as well. Everyone else pretty much got situated, it was a simple breakfast amongst the bunch and the guys got well acquainted with June. She, being an xenoarchaeologist, was very interested in learning about where Zamasu was from.
"The Kaishin planet."
"Oooh, I've never been on that one."
"It's separate from this universe. It's in it's own realm."
"Really? Interesting…"
That conversation could have went on for hours, because she wanted to know more than that. She asked what they studied, how their life was like, and how he learned to speak human language proficiently. Learning that their species was omni-sighted, June had less of a shock than the others. Even if she'd never seen such a species before, she didn't get wowed by his explanations. It just pulled her interest.
After they had finished, the women were on their way to leaving. Lexi had said her goodbyes to everyone because she was leaving the country soon. She gave everyone a hug, including Zamasu who obviously didn't mind, and Rebecca offered to drive her back home, and for June to chill with her. Ashley kissed her boyfriend goodbye, and then immediately gave him semi-hard smack on his cheek.
"Umm… why?"
"You need it." Was all she said, before she supplemented it with another kiss, and left his house. He shook his head and scoffed with a smile, because Ashley's cute when she's annoyed with him. This time, it was Adrian who offered to drive the guys out to where they were bound to go. They agreed upon this place for their own entertainment, but since Zamasu wanted to join in they may have to do some explaining, and that particular place was Ross' Gunnery.
ЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭЄЭ
From Adrian's house to Ross' Gunnery is about a forty seven minute drive, the highway was pretty clear today, but that's because it was the last day of the weekend. Ross' Gunnery was a large, versatile shooting range in Southeastern East City, it had both indoor and outdoor shooting ranges for various guns and other ballistic weapons, like crossbows and arrows. It's actually one of the most popular gun ranges in the country since it offered things like TTR (Tactical Target Runs), Simulatrums room, and even paintball or laser tag. The Simulatrum is a bit different; because the targets are literal holograms, a specialized gun would be given to whoever was in there and they'd have to shoot at the holograms with it. The rooms were either open, or maze-like. TTP is where you would enter a room, and you'd have to run through till the end shooting at all targets with the best time. There were levels of tiers, tier one being the lowest, and tier four being the highest. One of the things that they lowkey wanted to do was beat the highest score, which was 47 seconds, and mind you that was on the biggest, most difficult map in that place yet.
The gun range was just about several miles away from South City, the most tech-savvy city in Tycho. It's the same place where K. Greinhardt was in, pretty much the best of the best were situated in South City. West City was more urbanlike than the rest, and East City is mostly suburban. North City is pretty much where all the rich people live, there are nothing but mansions there. Rebecca lived there, just around the edge of North City and pretty close to the east.
When they arrived, Zamasu didn't realize how big this place actually was. They pretty much drove around a bunch of plains and some areas with crates and things like that to get to the entrance, and Adrian had just told him that all of that was a part of this gun range. They stepped in, the three famous men gave their hellos and their gratitude as expected, and went to one of the range station on the second floor. The elevator had glass walls so you could see as you made your way up. Ross' Gunnery was only three floors; including the floor below ground level. The particular station was S-7, which had four separate ranges each suitable for groups of four.
Zamasu looked down at the arsenal box, and then at the front table facing where the targets were. There were four pistols on the table, and he didn't know what the heck they were and how the heck one uses them. Adrian saw the obvious confusion in his eyes.
"You need help, don't you?"
Zamasu touched the pistol, and looked back at Adrian who was already wearing ear muffs. He was about to speak, but the muffled sounds of pistols going off interrupted him. After the racket, he spoke. "Isn't this the same weapon humans kill each other with?"
"Only the shitty ones." Adrian took one of the pistols and went into the arsenal box to reload it. Zamasu watched the last clip fall to his hand, and him inserting another. He frowned. "How does that even work?"
"Simple. You cock," Adrian cocked the pistol, and pointed it at a target. "You aim," and then his finger went to where the trigger was. "And then ya shoot."
It went off within a punchy bag, and Zamasu winced as his sensitive ears moved from the sound. "Oh shit, I forgot." Adrian took one of the muffs and handed them to him. "Here, put this on."
Zamasu did, and he took hold of one of the pistol, seeing how light it was in his hand. But it still confused him as to how something so small could make such a loud noise, so he tried looking into it. "What even comes out of this thing…"
Adrian had just finished reloading. He hadn't even looked away for a full minute, turning back to Zamasu and was greeted by the sight of the intelligent God of Creation staring into the chamber of a pistol.
"ZAMAS-" Adrian held the gun, pushing it away from his face and moving it to where it's supposed to be. "DON'T. DO THAT. Point the fucking gun at the targets, god dammit."
Zamasu frowned. "Excuse you?"
Adrian sighed, exasperated at how dangerous that whole ordeal could have been. "Fine, turtle dammit. I don't fucking know, just… don't do that. Ever."
"Alright then, fine." The Kaioshin was taught how to hold the gun by Adrian, who told him that he should use two hands instead of one because this is his first time. His first shot was obviously way off, so much so that it ended up hitting the bulletproof wall of the target range.
"It's cool. Just dust yourself off, and try it again." Adrian smiled.
"Why do I need to dust myself off?"
The smile was quickly replaced with a sigh. "I didn't mean it literally, it was just a figure of speech."
Zamasu got the hang of it pretty well within a good five minutes. His aim went from haywire crosshairs to somewhat decent, and in fact he was getting a little bit of a kick out of this. The guys had dialogue running around with one another while they shot at either paper or concrete targets. The target rooms were actually separated by bulletproof glass so you could see how the other people were faring in their shots. This only applied to S-6 and above, the others were separated by opaque walls. While Zamasu was busy practicing his shooting, the three guys slowly diverted their attention to the target range next to theirs.
Whatever group was in S-8 was taking down the targets extremely fast, it was almost aesthetic to see how smooth these people's shooting was. Even the guy at the main gunsmith counter was looking, and he was on the farther side behind all of the stations.
"Yo, how is these people synchronizing their shots, man?" Adrian stared in shock. "I lowkey wanna see who they are."
"It's like they're consecutively shooting on cue." Jay shook his head in amazement. "We need that kind of coordination." The shooting then stopped after a short while, and the guys curiosity was poked even further.
"I'm gonna ask K." James turned around to look at the gunsmith counter. "'Ey, K!"
K was the gunsmith man who took care of any possible conflicts with the firearms, and also was basically the customer service in the gun range, but pretty much everyone who came here often was well acquainted with K. He was tall, but shorter than James, and was more chubby than stocky. The guy had a well groomed long beard and bunned mid-length hair. K looked at James, and went over to their station, giving James a sweet dap because he knew the basketball player. "Yeah, what's up?"
"Who are the people in Station 8?" He asked.
"Yeah, they got mad skills." Jay removed his earmuffs, wearing them around his neck. It's a music producer habit.
"Oh no, it's not a group. It's only one person."
"One person shooting that fast?" James' mouth was parted.
"Yeah, that's why I was looking. She's the same person who landed the best time in Tier Four TTR."
"SHE?!" All three of them exclaimed. Not because the idea of a girl shooting very well is unheard of in their world, but because now they're all intrigued to see who this girl happened to be.
"Yup, the one who got 47 seconds." K nodded, and he looked behind him to see the person they talking about looking over at the gunsmith counter. She then looked around and quickly found him with four other males.
This woman had long jet black hair with slightly tanned skin. Her eyebrows were arched naturally, and her eyes were a mystic dark brown. She was about the same height as Lexi, and was wearing a v-neck white shirt with black jeans and slightly heeled gray boots. The guys, save for K and kind of Zamasu, just blinked; she was very pretty.
Zamasu stopped shooting when he picked up something very peculiar, and it had nothing to do with the fact that his male acquaintances stopped shooting. The Kaioshin placed the pistol down; he was sensing something, and he didn't know if it was ki or not. Usually, humans have such a low energetic vibe that it cannot be felt by him, but he was somehow picking up something from behind him. He turned around to see the guys just staring at this woman while she was talking to K. He leaned forward at the men in stupor and looked at the pretty woman, who just left K after he answered her question. He wasn't paying attention to what they were paying attention to, so he had no idea why they looked so shocked.
James looked to K. "You know her name?"
"How do you not know her name, if you know who has the best time?" K frowned.
"I only know the best time, I didn't know who placed it."
K sighed. "Fair enough. Her name is Nousha."
That is a very unique name, Zamasu thought. He was looking at this woman as she spoke with a few other women who had left their stations and just came up to Nousha with attracted smiles on their faces. There was something… different about this woman, he didn't know how to explain it other than comparing her with the other four females he knew so far. Irene was boisterous, Rebecca was quiet and reserved, Ashley was comical, and Lexi exercised beautiful femininity, but this woman had a gusto that he'd never seen before. She wasn't arrogant or anything, she just had that… that smoothness, that's all he could possibly call it, and it was enough to make those three random women come up to her to speak. But the way she presented herself seemed so effortless, like she was just breathing out suaveness.
He hadn't heard her voice, and he probably imagined it to be close to Lexi's because even though Lexi was straight up beautiful, this woman rivaled that with her body language. The Kaioshin watched as she went back into her station, and he looked over to Jay and Adrian who were talking about something else.
Perhaps the same energy he's getting from this woman is attracting other people towards her. It wasn't something ominous either, it was rather… mysterious.
The guys had their fill of learning the gist of who she was, they only knew her name and how she looked and that's it, and they went about their day. Zamasu, on the other hand, was watching her movements. It was weird; he was party doing this because he's trying to figure out if that spark of whatever he sensed came from her, and also because she just intrigued him.
If curiosity could kill a cat, it could tickle a God to embark on things he never thought of doing.
You ever had to supervise a child in a large place, and when you turn around for one second and look back, they're gone? While the guys chatted leisurely, Zamasu pretty much slipped his way out of the station without alarming any of the three. She came back out again, walking towards one of these smart vending machines. It pops out a cup in a closed compartment and fills it up with whatever juice or juices you'd put in it. After it was done, a cap was placed over it and the drink if finally conveyed out of the compartment. While her back was towards him, he walked towards her and the vending machine and didn't hesitate in initiating dialogue.
"Hello there."
Nousha looked forward from watching the cup being filled with one of her favorite beverages because all she heard was this proper male voice behind her. This is a shooting range, when do you ever hear anyone speak with so much elegant in a shooting range? The woman turned around, and blinked and cocked her neck back when she saw this tall, green man looking down at her.
"Uhh… hi?" Her simple response actually caught him by surprise, because her eyes weren't actually fully brown. Under this particular lighting they were in, Nousha's eyes were a beautiful gradience of brown and gray. Her eyelashes were thick, but they were naturally like that. In fact, she wasn't even wearing any makeup at all. Not only that, her voice sounded much more different than what he had perceived. He did think her voice resembled Lexi's, and it sort of did, but it was different. Nousha's voice was more husky than sweet, but her voice was very pleasant to the ear.
And apparently, Zamasu also didn't know how to normally greet people without both looking like Buddha's ex-maitre'd and outright saying 'You have something that intrigues me, I'd like to see it with my own eyes'. So he settled for something more traversed. "You are Nousha, are you not?"
She frowned and blinked. Was she in some sort of trouble? With green alien guys? "Umm, yes..." Nousha stood a bit straighter. "Is there something wrong?"
"Not at all." At least he had the common decency to answer that, because the way he approached her made it look like she had some underhand business going on with him. "I was in one of the stations next to yours and a rather… interesting display caught my attention. You have exceptional skill."
This is coming from somebody who looked into a pistol's chamber trying to see what comes out of it. But you can't blame him, it's his first time.
Nousha quirked a smile. Her smile looked pretty. "You were in one of the stations next to me?" He nodded, and she raised her head a bit higher. "Ohh, well… thanks." A short chuckle came from her lips, and she looked back at him with a questioning look, gesturing from him to her with both of her hands. "Have we met or something?"
"No we haven't." He shook his head. "But I have heard of you. I'd like to see your little… gun acrobatics."
He didn't have another word for it, and his terminology made her frown with a smile. There were several times in her life where those who caught sight of her would ask to see her spin or draw or perform a trick shot, and usually these people always sparked up a short conversation when they did so. This dude in front of her came up to her and legit said 'Hi, I know you, let me see a demonstration of your skills'. She looked over at her dispensed cold drink, and looked back at him. "You wanna watch?"
He nodded. Zamasu was doing this out of curiosity, he simply wanted to see what this was all about on his own. Nousha looked to the left in thought, he noticed that where her eyes were made the gray-gradient decrease due to the change in how light was being reflected from her eyes. And then nonchalantly, she shrugged in front of the God.
"Alright." Nousha nodded, and decided that if he wanted to see her pull through a few rounds, then she might as well have fun with it. "Lemme go get my guns. You can come into my station and see, by the way."
Zamasu nodded and pretty much watched as this fit woman went into her station's arsenal. She had a sleek gait, ubiquitously attractive to both sexes. No, he wasn't staring at her inappropriately, for any man her walk would be enough to beckon them into following her trail. But that doesn't matter because he doesn't like human women.
Does he even like anything? He himself didn't even know what his own preferences were and thinking about it made him both uncomfortable and confused.
He followed her in and saw her equipped with two silver-stainless steel revolvers. These particular revolvers had eight rounds within a chamber, and the bullets were meant for sharpshooting so they had to be smaller than normal, both revolvers were in her black compact holsters on either side of her hips. Coupled with the outfit she had on, this entire getup looked badass, but since Zamasu didn't know what badassery meant, he just tilted her head at her entirely. K, walking to the ninth station next to hers, called her name and she turned around.
"You need an augment?" The types of revolvers she was using offered augments, whether it be increasing the fire rate, or decreasing the recoil, or whatever they allot for this type of gun. Usually, people who want to shoot very fast or not want to deal with recoil use augments, but Nousha ain't about any of that.
"Nope." She shook her head, and smiled down at the sweet stell babies, running through the chamber with a quick reload that caught the eyes of Zamasu. "I'm cool. Besides, this will only take a quick minute..."

I think they're conversation while being high was probably the most uplifting things in the last few chapters, and in the most simplistic way possible. But let's take a moment to realize that they played a game involving spoons…
That is for those of you who think entertainment can't come from anything.
It's funny if you think about it though, they got into an argument with some extremely religious lady, and ended up getting high with a God. Checkmate on her ass, hoe.
