The Next Chapter

[Guu]

“Oh, I’m sorry… uh...” She flailed her arms in front of her trying to think of an explanation. “I mean, I’m the second child that Guu took in, the first being Molly. Though Guu did give birth to me… just forget about it, you’re new right? Let’s take a walk.”

She waved at the Pokute who took that as his cue to stomp off back into the wilderness as the green girl lead the creeper into the palace.

“Are you new to the Omniverse all together?”

“Well, I’ve been to coruscant and I’ve travelled around.”

“Okay so you’re not entirely out of the loop. That makes things easier.” She said with a sigh, she was not used to giving introductions. “You’re in Ambrosia, this city is a sanctuary for those who are deemed odd or unusual.”

She gathered that much.

As the pair crossover the front doors of the palace, the pair run into a punk rocker girl of some sort, wearing her hair in a short bob and a tank top that showed off her Ambrosia tattoo. Naturae’s eyes lit up.

“Sylvia!”

“Naturae!” She eyed the girl in green clothing. “I don’t believe I’ve met your friend!”

“Oh, this is Cupa! She only just arrived in Ambrosia.”

“Ah, came for the run down I see. Well, usually I’d expect your arrival but it’s been a hectic day, so sorry you haven’t received a warm welcome.”

“Uh, it’s okay.” Said Cupa. She wasn’t expecting one in the first place.

“Well, nice to meet’cha, I’m Sylvia Black, second in command here. I run the place when Guu isn’t around.” She said. She shifted her weight to look Cupa in the eyes.
“Keep in mind that most folks come here to live a peaceful existence, they don’t want no trouble so don’t give them any. Play nice and you’ll go far in this place.”

Just as she finished that sentence, two giant yellow birds rode by the pair being lead along by a samurai and a satyr. Sleeping on the top of the bird was a skeleton in a light blue hoodie. Following close behind while yammering her mouth off about something called “prinnies” was a little girl in a dress made of eyes, floating along above a horrific tentacle beast.

Sylvia gave a heavy sigh.

“Sorry to cut this short, but I’ve got to take care of this. Mind doing the rest of the induction Nat?”

“I’m be happy to!” Responded the green girl.

“Great, nice meeting you Cupa!” Called out the punk girl as she runs to catch up with the wacky display they just witnessed.

“Let’s continue!” Said Naturae, guiding her new friend further into the palace.

She brought her into a small room. It was decorated with a vines that blanketed the walls. The only furniture was a bed made entirely of moss, and a desk that housed a computer made of bluestone and a strange magical substance.

“What is this place?” Inquired the creeper.

“My room. It looked like the other group was headed for the computer lab, so I thought this was less of a hassle.” She pulled up one of the chairs hidden under the desk, Cupa, seeing where she was reaching, did the same for another chair. She powered up the computer which whizzed to life.

“Do you have a phone yet?” Asked the green girl. The Creeper shook her head, uncertain what she was talking about. The young one opened a drawer of her desk. Inside was a pack of ten smartphones with Omniyoutube logo printed on it. She pulled on out and handed it to her. “This is like a portable computer that fits in your hand. You can even use it to communicate with anyone you know.”

“Woah, really?”

“Yeah! And you can access the internet and everything!”

Cupa examined the device, pressing the big home button that lit it to life. Naturae poked through it, showing her how to access her contacts list, pull up the internet, and finally how to use the recall station.

“If you press that button and stay still for 10 minutes, you’ll immediately be transported back to Ambrosia from wherever you are in the world.”

“This is amazing! And it’s all free?”

The Namekian nodded.

“Anyways, if you plan to stay in Ambrosia, there are still houses vacant to claim, just anything that doesn’t have a mailbox in front is up for grabs. If you have some Omnlium to spend, you can pay the Tanuki to build you a home to your liking. Up to you really. If you need work, there’s a job board in town square.”
