Netto was setting up his new opened shop, putting items on the shelves and organizing them, making sure the lights on the sign out front were working, he even had to jury rig a humidifier into the rafters in order to keep his plants happy and healthy. The shop was called Netto's Herbs and Teas it was simple shop that sold medical herbs and teas that could take care of any ailment, from stomach aches to colds and even anxiety. He was once a shaman who now worked as a demon hunter but his expertise in healing herbs were a good way of making some extra income and he didn't feel like wasting it.
The shop was in a side street of East city right across the way from a Gym owned by a friend of his an Android named Audrey. Netto sat at the front desk his legs propped up on his front desk reading the newspaper while smoking a herbal cigar he created designed to calm the nerves and promote muscle healing. He was still sore from his spar with Audrey his nose still bandaged from when one of Audrey's jabs broke his nose, though there were no hard feelings. Netto looked over to see Audrey heading out for the day he waved and said good morning like he usually did and went back to the newspaper.
After a while a few costumers came and went mostly checking out the new store and what it had for sale. He sold a few boxes of tea and a bag of cold medicine but nothing out of the ordinary for quiet a while. Eventually someone showed up in a large coat and seemed rather suspicious "hello, I'm looking for a rare plant and I'm curious if you have it?" Netto looked at the man with a judging stare "depends on what plant" the man cleared his throat and said "I'm looking for Jam of a blood orchid" Netto raised and eyebrow and said "sorry man I don't have any blood orchids but lucky for you I'm also an explorer and I have an idea where they grow but it will cost you extra. Also why do you want it?" Netto new off the top of his head that Blood Orchids where used in very special recipes for desserts as they give off a very rich sweet smell and its jam is said to be sweeter then any sugar. "I'm a world class chef and a very rich patron asked for it and said he'd pay anything to get it" Netto looked the man up and down before agreeing "come back in three days and ill have it" the man thanked Netto and walked away.
Suddenly Netto's communicator went off, a message from Marku, apparently a new member of the z-force is about to join and would like to meet the rest of the team and I was next on the list. Netto thought to himself "cool maybe they could join me for the blood orchid hunt the more the merrier"

Fate tended to have a strange sense of humor. East City was often seen as a bastion of spirituality, the home to mystics, monks and martial artists alike. The one thing that unified them was discipline. They were calm and methodical in their ways, following tradition and seeking inner peace. Well, today said peace was about to be... shaken. Little did the unfortunate shopkeeper realize that he had just unwittingly gotten dragged into another quest. No, not the one for Blood Orchids… This one would test his strength, wits and patience. Especially patience. No matter how brief or wordy Marku had been in his message, nothing could quite prepare Netto for what was coming. After all, some things were kind of difficult to put into words...
Soon, a dot of strange, unsuppressed, freely flowing power appeared somewhere at the city border. It was approaching fast, zipping around wildly. Sure, the energy was nowhere near the shopkeeper’s level, but compared to average citizens it was outright monstrous. The source of said energy was bubbling with barely contained excitement. It had been so long since the last visit to a big city. So much to see, so much to do. And a new friend to meet too!
Suddenly the door flew open and an odd creature flew through. At a glance it, well, she looked like a tomboyish teenager, a girl with certain bounce in her toned figure. Yet human she definitely was not. The bubblegum-colored skin and strange, golden eyes were kind of a dead giveaway. Pale antennae peeked from a messy head of pink hair. Her light outfit wasn’t exactly usual either. From the baggy white pants to the black tube top, as well as the matching arm sleeves and boots, traces of ancient magic clung to her clothing. Really, she resembled a genie that had just popped out of a storybook. Perhaps now Netto might realize his predicament. He had just been duped into playing babysitter for one of the most destructive forces on the planet... A Majin.
Hovering about, the curious girl looked around with wide eyes full of wonder. In her arms she cradled a pile of sweets and pastries, especially chocolate covered treats. She was happily munching a steaming fresh muffin. When the glimmering gaze found the shopkeeper, she suddenly darted closer. Her voice carried a playful chime. "Hey, hey Mister! Hey, listen!" She was very insistent about getting his undivided attention before cocking her head. The pale antennae twitched towards him. Once. Twice. "Your tingle feels different. Are you the guy?" An entire chocolate bar was promptly devoured while she finally gave him a chance to actually answer the weird question.
Meanwhile, outside some sort of commotion was brewing. One gruff voice loudly demanded to know where that thief had gone. Another snidely declared that he had seen her escaping into the herb shop. The door was shoved open. A massive, burly man wearing an apron squeezed through. Judging by the pearls of sweat and wheezing breath he had been running for a while now, but that didn’t dampen his anger. He pointed an accusing finger at the girl. "Hey! You gotta pay for those, kid!" Said kid’s ear twitched and she quickly spun around. Frustrated whistles of steam ruffled her hair as she shouted back. "Zam is not a kid! Zam is a big girl!" She underlined her flawless argument with exactly the grace and maturity one could expect from a Majin. By blowing a raspberry at the mean man. And so all the ingredients for a disaster were brought together. Words: 601 Netto White

Netto sat back down and opened his newspaper deciding he'll wait for the new recruit before he leaves for the blood orchid. When suddenly a short Majin suddenly burst through the door scaring the crap out of him, he yelled out a little dropping his newspaper before covering his mouth. Looking at the younger looking Majin with yellow antennae he said "what? Who? Me?" but before he could get any answers another man burst through the door screaming about a thief and the two started arguing. Netto stood and yelled " Enough!" both of them looked at him questioningly. Netto walked over to the Majin and bent down a bit to be at eye level, " are you Zam? Marku told me a girl named Zam was coming to meet me." The small Majin nodded, Netto then sighed and looked at the man " I'm sorry she's still new to world and has a hard time understanding rules and things. Ill pay for the sweets." he said taking his wallet out " how much?" The man answered " 1,000 zenny" this caused Netto to look back up in surprise " jeez did she steal the gourmet sweets?" the look on the mans face answered his question with a stern yes. Netto sighed again and handed him the coin. After the chef left he looked at Zam and said " count these as my welcome gift to the team", he then bent back down to get to eye level with her and held out his hand " my name is Netto, welcome to the z-force" he then stood up and pondered " alright if im gonna bring her on this adventure her childish nature and addiction to sweets will make it difficult as she may just end up eating the jam" then something clicked and an idea popped in his head. He told Zam " hey once your done eating I got something to ask ya." After a short time the sweets were all but devoured and Netto then spoke up " Done? Great, I got an idea, how would you like to be cooler and make friends even easier? With your permission I can use my powers to help you do better with everything" She happily agreed and Netto put his hand on her head " now just close your eyes and stay still for a short time" she did and Netto focused on locating her soul. He may not know everything about Majins but from what he's heard they are very impressionable by the people around them meaning their souls and minds can easily be affected by outside means. Once he had a grip on her soul he infused his understanding of money, morels, maturity, and do-good way of looking at things. He twisted and turned her soul as best he could to shape it into someone who is kind and respectable to others. Though one issue was digging at the back of his head while doing this " if her soul is so easy to mold, does that mean it can just as easily mold back to its normal self?" WC:510 Majin Zam

Luckily for everyone involved, the shopkeeper intervened before someone could do something... explosive. The little Majin looked up at the tall man with those big, innocent eyes and nodded excitedly. "Yup! Mister Lime told me to come here! Zam is a Majin, is what Zam is! Nice to meetcha!" While the new friend talked with the meanie, she focused on happily munching her treats. So gooood! When Netto introduced himself, she tilted her head, trying to find a good pondering angle. There was that weird word again. Z-force. She wasn’t quite sure what it meant, but it was nice to be welcomed into things. So yay for z-force!
Devouring the treats didn’t take long. In fact, it may have been some sort of record. On how quickly one could consume unhealthy amounts of sugar... Upon hearing the words cooler and better, Zam’s eyes lit up immediately. "For realsies?! Yay! Let’s do it!" She closed her eyes and actually managed to stand still. Well, aside from excited vibrating. Quite the feat for a hyperactive kid. When Netto reached into her soul though, she fell completely still. The soul was as peculiar as the body holding it. Mercurial and bubbly at the same time, it was so easy to mold, yet it wanted to soon snap back into what it had been before. Maturity especially took few attempts to infuse before it finally stuck. And when it did, the shape of the soul suddenly changed...
While the Majin’s soul was being molded into a new shape, her elastic body instinctively followed the suit. Twinkles of pink energy sparkled on her skin. Slowly she started growing taller, inch by inch, until she was close to an average adult. With a soft, bouncy sound, her figure filled in to match as well. Similarly her hair shifted, lengthening just slightly past her shoulders, though the tomboyish style wasn’t going anywhere. Her face still retained some adorable roundness, but even there the touch of maturity worked its magic. Only her outfit remained unchanging through the strange transformation.
Before long the procedure was over and the young lady opened her golden eyes. A small sigh escaped from her lips as she glanced upwards at the man. "Um, Mister Netto, was it?" While her voice still chimed playfully, it wasn’t so childish anymore. "I don’t mean to doubt your methods, but I’m not sure if it worked..." Honesty shined in her puzzled expression as she tried her best to elaborate. "I mean, I don’t really feel any different." She twisted, turned and twirled around, trying to get a good look at her own body. If only there had been a mirror somewhere... "Hm, did my clothes shrink?" Idly she adjusted her tube top, tugging it until it felt comfy again. Ah, much better. Words: 475 [Total = 1076] Netto White

Neto opened his eyes after adjusting Zam's soul to see her being much taller then before and her clothes now not properly fitting her he went wide eyed and it took him everything he had not to stare. " No it worked, your way of speaking is much more mature and adult like. You also grew taller and now look like a true adult as well." he then saw Zam adjusting her top and he immediately looked at the ceiling as to not be rude " however it appears you clothes didn't grow to match you. Grant me a moment my house is right above the store I can grab you something more fitting." He then ran up the stairs to his laundry room and grabbed a newly cleaned black sleeveless shirt he wears for working out and came back downstairs. He handed the shirt to her and said " here you go that should fit better and your free to keep it if you want." He smiled and gave her a look over realizing she actually was quite beautiful he almost stared to blush but quickly regained he composure. "Alright now that you'll have an easier time understanding things I can tell you what's going on. I was recently asked to go on exploration and find a rare flower called a Blood Orchid. Would you like to join me?" WC:227 total: 1247 Majin Zam

Zam blinked at the assurance, bit puzzled. "Really? Oh. I thought becoming an adult would feel somehow... different, I guess." For a little girl, adults always looked so confident, smart and special. She took one more twirl to look at her body. Well, yeah, she was bit taller now, maybe. "Hee, but this is fine too~!" Her line of thought was cut short when the man suddenly hurried off. Something about getting more fitting clothes. A small puff of steam formed a question mark above her head. "Um, okay...?" She cupped her top and pondered. Sure, it was kind of a snug fit now, but... It wasn’t that big of a deal, was it?
Still, the Majin waited patiently until the new friend showed up with a sleeveless black shirt. She snatched it and held it before her eyes curiously. "Oh?" After putting it on though, she pinched the hem and piped up awkwardly. "Um... Mister Netto... It’s a bit... big." Indeed, her toned body was nowhere near as buff as the man’s impressive physique. The shirt could’ve honestly passed for a dress the way it hung from one shoulder. So she slipped it off and deftly folded it before placing it on the counter. "I appreciate the thought, but I’ll be fiine~" Idly she brought her arms and streeeetched. "My body never gets cold, you know. Honest!" Well, maybe that wasn’t the issue here, but she was blissfully unaware of that.
The mention of a Blood Orchid immediately sparked the girl’s excitement. "Ooh, sounds fun! Sure, I’ll tag along!" Some things didn’t change with maturity. Eyes twinkling, she eagerly stood on her tiptoes and leaned closer to the man. "So where are we going? Do you have a map or a lead or something?" It had been sooo long since she had gone on an adventure like this! Words: 318 [Total = 1394] Netto White

Netto was disappointed she wouldn't keep on the shirt but didn't show it on his face " maybe I should of infused an understanding of sex appeal" he then realized with how naive she is still it could lead into even worse problems " maybe not" if a problem arises out it he'll deal with it. "well I don't have a map or well a map to the blood orchid atleast but I do have a lead so to speak" he reached behind his counter pulling up a world map and opening it on his counter. " there is a jungle in the sacred land of Korin that's full of ancient plants and animals that's where its rumored to be but the problem is how to get them to appear. See the reason they are called blood orchids is cause they grow near swamps full of piranha and when they fill the water with blood they bloom. So we have to one find the swamp, two throw something in it and collect the blood orchids that bloom, however I'm not a fan of killing anything innocent so I kinda hoping we find a predator that's trying to kill us and trick it into the swamp or we get there when something already fell in." He then rolled up the map and got his supplies together, " we may be out there for a day or two so im gonna grab a tent and a few blankets, unless you want your own separate tent?" he asked Zam.

While Netto dug up a map, Zam was quick to zip over and float behind his shoulder. She listened intently, nodding on the key points. Blood orchids, huh? She had never even heard about such flowers. By the end of it she flashed a broad smile. "Wooow, you sure know a lot about plants! This will be a breeze~!" Hm, so, they had to find a swamp... Trick a mean beast... And feed some fishes. Yup, sounded simple! On the mention of a tent, the Majin tilted her head innocently. "Oh, we can both fit in one tent, right? It’s gonna be super cozy!" Of course she missed the implications completely. Usually she slept under the stars anyway, so going camping with a real tent was new and exciting.
However, all of a sudden the girl was struck with a small realization and she hesitated a bit. "Um, but, you should know that uh... I kinda... don’t know how to read a map... eh hehe..." A rosy blush warmed her pink cheeks as she poked her fingers together. It was super embarrassing to admit that there was something she couldn’t do, not even with her magic, but honesty was important. "Like, I only found this place by sensing your energy." She brightened up very quickly though. "So, I’ll be relying on you to lead the way." Suddenly she wrapped her arms around the man and pressed her soft body against him affectionately, seeking to squeeze him into a warm hug. Wherever he went, she was ready to tag along.

Netto was surprised by her hugging him and saying thanks, he slowly patted her head and said " no problem, your a teammate and hopefully a friend" he then waited for her to end the embrace before he reached down and grabbed an extra survival pack handing it to Zam. " Here this back pack should have all the supplies we need from blankets to emergency food and water." Netto put on his own pack and started walking toward the exit " also we will need to grab my ship, due to an accident my ability to fly has been weakened so I can only fly for short time. Enough to get out of town but after that I'm gonna have to open my capsule ship and fly it to the jungle." He then looked at Zam and said "while we are flying toward the edge of the city id like to hear your story if its alright?" Netto then walked outside and breathed in absorbing the gravity in the area causing rocks and other small objects to start floating a small bit before it returned to normal. After he was finished he started flying toward the edge of the East Capitol waiting for Zam to start talking. WC:205 total: 1705 Majin Zam

Zam basked in the head patting, snuggling against the gentle touch. Juuust a little longer... Pats and hugs were two of favorite things in the whole world. Well, she did eventually let go, though, a little reluctantly. She took the backpack and turned it around curiously. Another completely new thing to a girl who had never needed one. It wasn’t until she saw Netto put his pack on that she followed the example. However, the last part gave the girl a pause. "My story?" She echoed the word choice. It wasn’t a question people often asked her. Or pretty much ever. So she honestly wasn’t sure what to even say.
The Majin hurried out the door and took off as well, shooting upwards like a pink bottle rocket. As she quickly caught up to her new friend, she slowly circled around him. Right. Her story. Hm... "Ah, you mean the story about why I came here?" She folded her arms and closed her eyes. It was sort of a fuzzy memory, but she tried her best to picture it clearly. "Hm hm, well, I was at the northern mountains building a snowman when Mister Lime found me." Though she was gifted a more mature mentality, the misunderstood nickname wasn’t going anywhere.
Trying to dig up the details, and failing, Zam did her best to put the memory into words. "We kinda got into an argument over, uh, something? I guess? And then my snowman broke..." She was still a bit sad about all her hard work going to waste. Luckily it didn’t dampen her spirit too much. "We both got upset and Mister Lime kicked me, sooo I beat him up~!" Honesty shined in her cheerful voice. That wasn’t the tone of someone lying or exaggerating. She really had beaten someone whose power was more than twice her level, as unlikely as it sounded. Then again, her kind was notoriously dangerous when it came to fighting...
Quick to move on, the odd creature continued her strange story. "After the fight, Mister Lime apologized and invited me to something called the z-force." She twirled around in the air to face Netto and shrugged. "To be honest, I’m not really sure what it is, but he also promised to cook me whatever I want, so I agreed." Free food was certainly one way to win over a Majin. Especially when reason and force had both failed. "Then he told me that I should meet others and pointed me towards your direction. And here we are!" To be fair, she had never been very good with details. If she shopkeeper wanted any, he would have to press for them.
Zipping another lap around the white-haired man, the bubblegum-colored girl soon voiced a question of her own. "Oh, by the way Mister Netto, what is z-force anyway?" Her gaze glimmered with that eager curiosity, giving the man her undivided attention. If the Majin got a clear answer while she had her borrowed maturity, maybe she would actually understand.

Zam talked a lot about someone named Mr.Lime and it took him a bit to realize who she was talking about "oh you mean Marku? Ya he's the founder of the Z-force" Netto then cleared his throat so he could explain to Zam what the Z-force was in a way she would understand "I don't know if you've heard of them, but a thousand years ago there were some very skilled legendary heroes called the Z-fighters. There was Goku, Vegeta, Krillan, Yamcha, and Tien these men were great fighters who defended the earth from aliens to monsters to demons. The Z-force is based on that legend where we are trying to collect kind hearted people who are willing to work together to defend the earth from threats, we also try to be friends with the many police forces on the planets." Netto then looked down to see there were now at the edge of town so he flew down to land. Once he landed he took a capsule out of his pocket pushing the top of it and throwing it a short distance away where it exploded into a puff of smoke that reveled his ship a small freighter designed to travel long distances. Netto then lowered the bridge so they could get on "this is my ship, ive got a kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom so its a nice home away from home." He then lead her to the front where he got the ships on board computer activated and put on auto pilot to the land of Koran. He then sat down at his pilot seat and swiveled around to look at Zam "the Z-force also have a space station where we meet up on occasion for missions and reports." He then thought about something to ask Zam "Hey Zam, you've never talked about a home. Do you have a place where you live and sleep?" WC:318 total:2023 Majin Zam

Mesmerized... It was a word the young Majin didn’t know, but it described her perfectly when she listened to the tale of the Z-force. Her features were locked in childish, shining wonder. She had always been a huge fan of superheroes, especially ones that she saw on TV. This story of great fighters defending earth sounded exactly like one of her favorite shows ever. So right there and then the decision was set in stone. She liked this Z-force thing. Even if she wasn’t a huge fan of the police forces... For obvious reasons...
The excited creature followed keenly as her guide dug out some sort of capsule thing. There was a poof and suddenly a flying ship appeared from nowhere. Her jaw dropped. "Ooh, you know magic too, Mister Netto? That is so cool!" Well, any sufficiently advanced technology was indistinguishable from magic. So they said at least. The girl honestly couldn’t tell the difference. Still she eagerly entered the ship and plopped to sit cross-legged on the floor.
When Netto voiced his question, Zam cocked her. It was as if she was trying to find a good pondering angle. "Hmmm, nope, not really. I juuust eat and sleep wherever I feel like." She merely shrugged. "I guess the whole world is my home." Such a simple way of looking at it.
After a moment of pondering though, the girl slowly lost her smile. "Well... There is this one village up north... Grandpa Noudel lives there and always says I can visit whenever, but..." For someone so cheery, the soft and solemn tone was unusual. "I don’t wanna be a burden to him. I heard him talking with his friends one time, saying how hard it is to make enough food for me. I... guess I do eat kind of a lot... Especially compared to him. And I cause other sorts of problems too on accident..." With the gift of maturity came the burden of understanding. She didn’t really like it. Not one bit.
Zam sighed and shook her head. "So now I just travel around. Whenever people get mad and the police start attacking me, I fly somewhere else." Just like she had done when Marku had... convinced her... to go meet Netto. She now understood the real reason why he had wanted her away from there. Still, she tried to smile and think nice thoughts. "It’s okay though. I can handle it. I’m immortal, you know." After all, no matter how much people hurt her, she could always regenerate. That was fine, right? Right... Words: 434 [Total = 2608] Netto White

Netto looked at Zam with a face of concern when talking about her past. He stood up and walked over to her, and gave her a hug. "im sorry you've had a hard life just because your a Majin." Netto liked her she was so young and yet reminded him of himself back in his first life when his family was killed before he was even 10. "If you need a place to stay or to eat your welcome to stop by place anytime you want or even stay for as long as want. It may not seem like it but I've got quite a bit of money and can afford to feed you." Netto felt like he was trying to adopt her but his work life and the danger that being a demon hunter brings could put her in danger a lot. Even if she is immortal it still put Netto in an uneasy feeling when he thought of her getting hurt by any demon. Netto realized he was still hugging her and let go. He then looked out the window seeing the watchtower that was near the land of korin coming closer. They were now flying over the large bay that separated the land of korin from the mainland. It was still gonna take an hour or two for them to reach korin. Netto walked over to the kitchen that was inside the ship "would you like anything to eat and drink before we have to land?" Netto opened a cabinet and grabbed a box of tea bags and then tea pot. Filled it with water and put it on the stove top to start heating it. He then opened the small chest freezer "do you have any particular meat you like or are you a vegetarian?" Netto asked looking back at Zam WC:305 Total:2328 Majin Zam

The little Majin was so surprised by the sudden hug that she let out a squeak. Still, she wrapped her arms around the big man and happily hugged him back. She was soft and smooth to the touch, like a living marshmallow. It was a good thing Netto was far stronger than most humans though, because that was one strong squeeze. A lesser man would’ve suffocated in the pillowy softness. "You really mean it, Mister Netto? I don’t want to be a burden..." The realization still weighed heavy on her mind, but the embrace at least helped lighten it somewhat. Hugs were nice.
Zam reluctantly released her hold and rose to float above the floor. Curious by nature, she followed the man to the kitchen. As a positive effect of her newfound maturity, she knew, without being told even, not to touch anything. Food was also nice and she was never one to turn down an offer. Her mouth was immediately watering at the mere mention. The golden eyes lit up with a bright twinkle. "Ooh, yes please! Do you have apple juice? And candy? Or pancakes? Or or waffles?" Obviously a Majin’s idea of food was a little different. Her body worked in mysterious, magical ways after all.
The excited girl hovered behind the gracious host, peeking over his shoulder as he started preparing tea. She cocked her head and blinked at the question. "Um, uh, a vegewhatnow?" The strange word was quickly pushed aside though. "Oh, but I like burger patties and sausages and meatballs and fried chicken and and...!" Well, the list went on for a good while, but to sum it up... She liked every kind of meat. Perhaps the demon hunter didn’t fully realize that he had just invited total annihilation upon his food reserves... Well, maybe not the vegetables. Those she didn’t like. Words: 314 [Total = 2922] Netto White

Netto laughed as she listed all she likes which was pretty much every meat in existence. " Well a vegetarian is someone who does eat meat but I guess your not that." Netto grabbed two steaks he had frozen and puts it on a pan he had ready. He put some oil and a some chopped garlic and onions in the pan once they started cooking he put the slabs of stake on the pan and slowly started to cook them. In the middle of him cooking he hears the tea pot start boiling he put some mushrooms in them and continued to let them boil. Once the meat was fully cooked he took them out and put each one on a separate plate and poured two cups of mushroom tea. He added honey and sugar to both teas and a little bit of fresh orange squeeze. " Alright so this is mushroom tea with a little orange, honey, and sugar its designed to help people feel more full then they actually are it helps people with big appetites control their hunger and its got a good amount of protein for training as well." He handed a plate of steak with some silverware and a cup of tea to Zam and sat down at the ships driver seat and hit a button popping out a tray to eat on. He pointed to the co-pilot seat and said " There is one to the left of the seat there too, if you want to sit down" Netto then started cutting into his meat and began to eat. You could hear him sigh in satisfaction as it tasted amazing. WC:275 Total: 2603 Majin Zam

Disappointments were a part of life, but they still stung fiercely. Zam’s energetic attitude deflated quite a bit when she realized there would be no sugary snacks or fruity drinks. Instead, there was... tea. Made of mushrooms. Utterly baffled, she stared at the proud chef as he described his concoction. "Uh... I... see... Thanks, I guess..." An awkward smile wavered on her features. She tried her best to be polite though, just like Grandpa had taught. He sure loved himself some tea. The cup was accepted with a puzzled blink. Mushroom tea though. Really.
The conflicted Majin followed obediently, plopping down on the open seat. She mimicked the example and got the tray to cooperate easily enough. The tea was a whole another challenge though. She gave it a tentative sniff, before her nose wrinkled. It might have been her unnaturally sharp senses, or just her overactive imagination, but she could practically smell the mushrooms like they were growing from the cup. Maybe she could caaaarefully just scoop out the honey and sugar? Welp, no, didn’t work like that. Finally she gathered enough courage to actually take a sip... Only to immediately spit it out as a puff of mist. Bleeeh! Hot, hot, hot! And icky! Another bitter disappointment.
However, not all hope was lost. Aroma of a savior drifted oh so strongly in the air. There was still the big and juicy steak. Zam sliced herself a piece and savored it for a moment. Suddenly her whole body tensed. Shivers crawled from head to toe. Golden eyes shined. S-s-s-sho gooood~! What followed was a graphic scene of absolute nommage. Not a single morsel was spared. Roughly five seconds later pink creature turned towards the white-haired chef. She presented her plate, which had already been licked clean. "Seconds, please~!" She looked up at him with so eagerly, wordlessly begging for more. Could he find it in his heart to say no to that innocent face? Words: 327 [Total = 3249] Netto White

Netto looked up to see Zam spit out his tea, he kinda expected it, she's obsessed with sweets but he had to try and give her something to control her hunger, oh well. He laughed abit to himself when he suddenly heard her ask for seconds. He looked at his plate seeing only a single bite taken out of it, he shrugged and gave the plate to her as he stood up to make some more. He went to the fridge and grabbed a soda and gave it to her as well. " Hope your ok with cola" he said handing it to her. He then took the last few stakes out of the fridge and began to cook two of them. He thanked the kia that he hunted this meat himself rather then buy it which is something he's gonna be doing a lot if Zam is gonna be living with him. Netto finished three more stakes, putting two on Zam's plate and one on mine, sat down and went back to eating. Netto looked up saw they were very close to their destination, he stopped eating and grabbed the controls putting the plane into manual mode to land near the jungles of the land of korin. " Alright looks like we are here, finish your food and we can head out toward the heart of the jungle." He said before going back to his food. WC:236 Total:2842 Majin Zam

Much to the hungry Majin’s joy, the chef actually had something else for her to drink. A fizzy soda! Her second favorite kind of drink! "Thank you!" She popped it open and guzzled the sugary goodness down in seconds. Delicious! Even better, more food was on the way. The delicious smell tickled her nose. She could hardly wait. The three steaks barely had a chance to rest on the plate when the knife and fork came to reap them. Some scenes managed to be a delicate mixture of horrifying and fascinating, like a train wreck in slow motion, where one simply couldn’t turn their eyes away. Zam’s ravenous munching certainly matched the description. It was almost like she was trying to absorb the steaks whole.
Soon enough, the destination came to view and the white-haired pilot moved to land the craft. Meanwhile, the girl was just wondering if it would be awkward to ask for thirds. Or would that be... uh... She quickly counted with her fingers. Fifths? Hm, okay, maybe not the best time to ask. So she simply set the empty plate aside. "Oh, I’m all done. Ready when you are!" She was still kinda hungry, buuut she was always felt like that. And it wasn’t really food hunger anymore. It was more of a lingering craving inside her, a need she couldn’t quite describe. Oh well...
Floating over to Netto, Zam patted him gently for attention. Pat. Patpat. Some habits didn’t go away with maturity. "Hey, Mister Netto, what does the flower smell like? Cuz I’m preeetty sure I could sniff it out." She tapped her small nose. "My senses are super sharp, you know." It was true. A hungry Majin could smell a fresh pastry from several miles away. Perhaps that also explained why she was so picky about food. Words: 312 [Total = 3561] Netto White

Netto got up from his seat and grabbed his backpack and gear as well as handing Zam her backpack. She asked if she could sniff it out "well it smells like a combination of both a sweet juice and blood if that makes any sense but unfortunately having a good sniffer wont help this time as they only give off a smell when their soaked with blood, they only bloom and give off any smell when there is blood in the water they grow next too. So for now we just have to go deep into the jungle to find any piranha infested waters." Netto reached into his bag and grabbed a small bag "that's why I have these. They're little pieces of raw meat we can throw into any small pools we come across in the jungle to test if they have piranha or not." Netto puts the small baggy back into his pack and begins walking into the jungle "Don't worry about food I'm a skilled hunter and fisher so I can catch and cook anything you want when decide to camp for the night." He then looked into the sky seeing the sun had already pasted the mid point of the sky, he stopped to look at his watch seeing it was a little past 3:00 "oh that plane ride took longer then I thought we only got 3 hours of sunlight and with the ground being as unstable as it is in the jungle it will be very dangerous to travel at night" Netto sighed "alright so we'll just travel for an hour then we'll set up camp and hunt some food, we'll pick up the hunt in the morning" __________________________________________________________ After and hour of travel, crossing bogs of shallow water, to crossing over rivers using logs, and fighting bugs. They hadn't found any pools that housed piranhas. Netto checked his watch and said to Zam "alright lets set up camp here." Netto set his pack down taking the tent out of it and quickly setting it up, since it was a capsule corp tent it pretty much set its self up "man you gotta love capsule corp they make everything easier." Once the tent was set up he looked to Zam "go ahead and collect some fire wood try to get as much dry wood as you can, Ill go hunting." Netto then started walking toward a nearby bog looking for signs of any crocodiles or any high concentration of fish he could spear. WC:420 Total:3262 Majin Zam

The simple-minded Majin cocked her head at the explanation. Sweet juice and blood, huh? Moments ticked by, until suddenly her expression brightened. Oh, then it would be just like the time she went shopping at the market and some mean men in suits tried to bully Grandpa! They had looked so funny crashing through the fruit stalls. Yup, now she knew exactly what kind of smell to sniff out. Buuut her enthusiasm was dampened when the hunter reminded her that the flowers only bloomed with blood. That was too bad then. Oh well, she believed Mister Netto would still find the flowers no problem.
Slipping the backpack on, the excitable girl quickly zipped after the white-haired guide. While he led the way, she zigzagged between the trees, snooping the area for any interesting things. Neither the unstable ground or the treacherous overgrowth could slow down her flight. When it was time to cross rivers though, she dropped down and tiptoed over the log. It was all about the experience, you know! For some reason all the bugs and other creepy crawlies stayed clear of her though... As if something about her very presence was driving them away... Or maybe her body was so weird, so alien that they didn’t recognize her as food. Yeah, that was much more likely explanation. It wasn’t like insects and animals could instinctively understand her destructive nature...
Even after an hour of travel, the pink powerhouse showed no signs of getting tired. If anything, she had difficulty sitting still. Adventures in new places where so much fun! While Netto left to hunt, Zam was left to ponder the instructions to gather dry wood. As much as she could... huh? She swept her gaze around the surrounding swamp. Lots of trees everywhere... Hm, okay then! Massive bolts of pink ki started surging around her body as she excitedly pumped her fist. She would do her best! In a crackling blur she shot off. Somewhere startled birds took the skies, screeching madly.
By the time Netto got back, he would find a massive mound casting a shadow over the campsite. Entire trees had been uprooted and piled up tidily. All of them were oddly dry and showed strange scorch marks, as if forcefully dried over open flame. There was more firewood than an entire village could burn during a cold winter. Soon Zam flew back carrying another tree like it was a mere twig. Her energy was flaring wildly around her like a magical fire. Thanks to all the knowledge Netto had instilled in her, she understood that most wood was naturally damp. Especially around this place. Sooo she had to dry it up, yup! A little bit of Majin magic helped with that! She had the power to create things just by thinking hard enough, so creating heat was super easy! Words: 477 [Total = 4038] Netto White
