“I saw shopping carts and thought there would be food here.” Viator said looking at the carts full of explosives, and weapons, and abruptly stiffened.

The portal expanded in a swirling storm. Viator rolled through the bigger portal onto the floor, and landed on his side. He stood up slowly and brushed a few leaves out of his hair. “I mean you no harm!I was merely looking for some food. My name is Viator.” He said slowly reaching his right hand out.

The floating arm did not comply, but instead jolted back and up. It smacked into the shopping cart, and then held perfectly still. “I’m sorry, don’t shoot!” A voice called out, sounding distant and warped.

*a few minutes earlier* Viator was woken from his fitful sleep from the sound of rattling metal. He half opened his eyes, and saw a person push two shopping carts into the apartment next to him. He sat up and groaned. His side still aches, his head hurt, and he was hungry. He rubbed his eyes and thought for a moment. With his mind still half asleep he came up with a terrible, semi coherent plan. “That person had two shopping carts. Two carts means food, a lot of food. I’m sure that they won’t mind if I take some.” He thought to himself. “Besides I have…” he shuffled the contents of his pack. “21 Neduisian dollars.” He sat up taller and closed his eyes. He tried to visualize the shopping carts in his mind. He could see roughly the direction they were in, but not precisely. He opened his eyes, and they bleed into the same glowing storms his portals made. In front of him a small portal opened up revealing solid stone. “Too far down,” He thought to himself. He closed the portal, and remade it. This time it looked into a large and neat apartment. He twisted his portal around in the air and found the shopping carts. He grabbed the money out of his pack, and reached out with his hand. @Channelknight Fadran, and @Frustration.

I like YInMn blue. Also… What? @Sequence.

Welcome to the shard @Airsick__Lowlander!

I think it’s a little creepy/gross, but that might just be because I’m a germaphobe; especially when it comes to food.

What in the Storming name of Everstorm chaos is this @Robin Sedai?!?!?!?!

Viator had trudged through the lower streets for a while, and it was now well into the dead of night. He was on one of the nicer streets. The lamps that ringed the sidewalk cast a gentle glow on the street, causing his shadow to stretch and change shape with every step. “I can’t keep this up,” he whispered to himself. “I’m hurt, tired, and lost. I’ll find a place to hide and sleep for now, and I’ll escape this confusing city tomorrow.” He shuffled towards one of the apartments lining the street, and found a space in between the building and a large bush. He squeezed his way through the tight brambles, and unrolled his sleeping mat and bag. He listen to the stillness of the night as he looked up at the glittering stars. The quiet was only interrupted by a few leaves shaking in the wind, and the occasional dog barking off in the distance. He slowly drifted off to sleep.
