Chapter 3: The world around us
[Location: Home|Time: 6:00] "BEEP BEEP BEEP BEE-" sounded the alarm clock. "Eugh, I hate waking up. Wait what!? I'm not even working today!" Zaygh exclaimed, careful not to let Xanite endure the same fate they had. "Dammit. Looks like I'll go to town, seeing as I'm up now." Zaygh tiredly stripped and went to the bathroom for a shower. "Ahhh, that was nice, okay, so what do we need from the store..." Zaygh asked themselves. "And I really do have to temporarily change my name to something, Zaygh is hard on the ears." After making a list of items required from various markets and stores, Zaygh decided to make something to eat. "What shall I be eating this morning? Eggs? Bacon? Batter Discs?" Zaygh had already realized that they were called pancakes, not batter discs, but the name stuck and they had decided to go with it. "Why not all three? Fufufufufu." "Mmmm, what smells good?" asked Xanite, apparently awake from their slumber. "THIS ISNT FOR YOU XANITE!" Zaygh yelled. "Ahem. This is my breakfast, get your own." Shocked, Xanite decided to go back to sleep. Zaygh had hastily finished eating a meal fit for three people and started to get ready to leave for town.
[Location: Market|Time: 8:00] Zaygh had walked into the market, dazed and glorified by the excitement and business of the place. "Wooooow, so this is how Humans get their food.. its beautiful." A man holding a tray of samples walked up to Zaygh. "Care for a sample, Miss?" Caught off guard, Zaygh remembered their Loli training. "No thank youuu!" She said in a cheery voice. "My mommy said never to accept food from a stranger." "Oh, why of course, I'm so sorry." Replied the now awkward man. "Phew, that was close. Now, first up on the list is... ah yes!" Zaygh walked down the street, turning corner after corner, until finally... "Aha! There!" They victoriously pointed down an alleyway. "Bricks!" Zaygh scuttled down the alleyway and tried every brick, hoping for it to come loose. "Come on, what are you guys made of, anyways? Ughhhh. There!" Zaygh pulled a brick out of the building and stored it into her bag. "Perfect, now all we need is raw charcoal, a blood sample, a microscope and a laser. I wonder where they sell lasers..." Zaygh spent most of the day gathering materials, besides the laser, and started to become impatient when turned away after asking store clerks for lasers. "Why doesn't anyone sell laser!? This is madness, I say, madness!" Zaygh hurried home so they could browse the internet. "INTERNET." Zaygh burst into the room and pushed aside Xanite, who was using the computer. "What the-" Xanite stuttered. "Quiet." Zaygh demanded. After a few hours of searching for a laser online, Zaygh came across a website of a University, whose Science division had a laser for research. "If I can't buy a laser, I'll take one. Fufufufu." "Wait what?! Why on Earth do you need a laser?" Xanite asked. "You cant steal a laser, that's against the law, you should know that better then anyone." But Zaygh wasn't listening, they were already devising a plan to break into the University after dark and take what was basically theirs since they created the universe and all.
[Location: Unknown University|Time: 20:00] "This should be the place." Zaygh, who was dressed in all black, was checking the place over, looking for open weaknesses. "Hmph, doesn't look like it'll be easy, I'll have to take the roof 'entrance'." Zaygh sneaked to the side of the building and made sure there was no one around, satisfied, they started climbing the wall of the University. "Piece of cake." They said after successfully climbing the wall, leaving a small trail of slime behind. "Hmm, should clean that up after, wont want police to find it and analyze it. After though, I'm already on the roof and all." Zaygh walked over to the skylight and tried to open the window. "Ugh, why aren't I stronger, this body is suppressing my abilities. I'll have to cheat a little." Zaygh took a few steps back from the skylight and put up their right hand and held it with the other. "Death Ball!" A miniature purple ball had formed in Zaygh's hands. "Die." The ball shot from their hands and blew a hole through the skylight as though it was nothing. "Simple, silent and deadly, just how I like them. Now, time to get that laser." Zaygh levitated down through the skylight and landed gently on the ground. "I think the Science Division is this way." Zaygh walked down a hallway that led to a set of double doors with a sign labeled "Lab". "This must be the place." They tested to doors to see if it was locked. "Dammit, and I was hoping it was going to be easier." Zaygh crossed they hands, looked at the door and watched a small oval form in the metal. They walked through the hole and started rummaging through drawers, cabinets and various doors. "Mhm, here it is." Zaygh held up a small miniature laser pointer. "Perfect!" Zaygh stuck their hand into their purse and swapped the laser pointer for some cash. "This should be enough. Now Xanite cant say I didn't pay." Zaygh, taking the easy way out, phased straight through the walls and walked home, forgetting about the slime...
