Chapter 2: Fiery Pheonix
Ina stared down at her plate of food and sheepishly glanced back up at a tall woman with purple eyes and orange hair and blue hair. She looked at Ina expectantly, as if she was wanting to see her reaction to the taste test.
"Um…" Ina began, "What kind of burger is this?"
"It's a Phoenix burger!" The woman replied with a bright smile that seemed too bright to be human.
"Alright…" Ina began, "I guess I'll try this…"
As the artist began to grab the burger she asked herself how she got into this situation, where a woman with orange and blue hair was watching her eat a hamburger (Phoenix burger?) With unseen intensity.
Earlier that day
Ina stretched her hands over her head and let out a satisfied groan before standing up and making her way to the fridge to grab some more Doctor Oopsie while she continued whaling.
When she got to the fridge and found it essentially empty, she sighed and glanced to the window to see the weather. It looked sunny. And so with that, she put on a pair of shoes and made her way outside.
As she made her way down the street to the convenience store a loud booming noise caused her, and everyone around her to jump. They looked up and saw a group of fighter jets blow past them.
Ina remembered what was happening in the world and shook her head, she wanted to go back inside and whale some more… but to do that, she needed some doctor oopsie.
With her slow pace, it took a while before she got to the convenience store and got a four-pack of doctor oopsie. Now with a smile on her face, she began to make her way back, however, her mind was thinking about the jets from earlier.
Could there be Atlantians nearby?
No way, that isn't possible, they're across the globe.
They can still swim undetected, it may be a raid, that's how it started in America!
"Watch out!" A voice screeched, tackling her to the ground.
As the artist hit the ground there were sounds of tires screeching to a stop and Ina sighed, "This is why I don't like going outside."
"Are you okay?" Someone behind her asked, when she turned she was met by a pair of concerned purple eyes stared back at her.
Ina got to her feet with the help of the woman before answering, "I'm fine, thanks to you."
The woman smiled at those words, before extending her hand out to the artist, "My name's Takanashi Kiara, what's yours!"
"Ninomae Ina'nis," Ina answered the ginger, before getting her phone out to give Kiara her email, "I owe you one, if you ever need anything let me know."
"Oh wait!" Kiara practically screeched, "I have an idea follow me!"
Ina grabbed the burger and took a bite. Her eyes immediately showed her surprise, the spice was too much for her to contain and she managed to swallow her bite before coughing. She reached for the nearby cup of water and began chugging it.
"Pretty good right!" Kiara grinned.
"It's got a lot of spice to it." Ina let out a breath, "Is that why you call it a phoenix burger?"
"Yep." Kiara smiled, "I'm trying to start a restaurant and I need some food items, this is one of them," The ginger smiled to herself, "There's a lot of things I need, a building for the restaurant, staff, a logo, there's so much."
"If you want," Ina felt this option might be a better way to repay the woman, "I can draw the logo for you."
"You can?" Kiara tilted her head slightly.
Ina nodded, pulling out her phone and going through her saved artwork, "Here are some examples of what I've drawn."
For the next few hours, Ina and Kiara would discuss the different options and ideas they had. A general idea of a character to represent the brand and an animal mascot, by the time Ina Left she had a good idea of what she would create, and in a few days the logos were sent to Kiara.
The character was a woman nicknamed the Tenchou, a Pheonix clad in an orange chef's suit and skirt with a chicken leg in each hand and a dazzling smile. The animal mascot was simply a bird with blue hues at the ends of its wings.
Ina believed that KFP would become a worldwide company. After all, that woman was relentless!
