In the darkness of a nearby closed grocery store, mysterious rustling sounds could be heard. The store was a mess, products and cans all over the floor, a shelf tipped over in one of the aisles. A trail of muddy footprints as if a small four-legged creature had come through...

The rustling grew quiet, when suddenly...

[b]"Strong nibble!"[/b]

A small shark-like creature burst out of a large box, hoisting a sizeable bag of rice in its gleaming fangs, a blobfish on his back.

"Life is an infinite quagmire of despair and suffering." The blobfish said.

[b]"Shhh!"[/b] The creature whispered, [b]"We have to be quiet!"[/b]

"The only reason for my existence is to consume the souls of the dark." the blobfish said, quieter this time.

[b]"This rice should be enough for now,"[/b] The creature said, tipping the blobfish off of his head. It landed with a splat as he flipped the large bag of rice onto his back. The rice bag was clearly much bigger than the creature, but he had no trouble with the burden. [b]"Time to go!"[/b]

He picked up the blobfish in his jaws, and took off at a meaningful trot. They trotted past the tipped shelf, a product of their endeavours; they trotted past the counter, gleaming coins sitting upon it. They trotted through the broken window of the closed store, the herald of their entry. They trotted through the streets, towards home.

[i]A few minutes later...[/i]

The creature jumped with bag of rice in tow through an open window as Shuu called to wake everyone up.

"ROLL CALL! BODY COUNT! LET'S GO!"

The creature trotted over to the man's feet, presenting his loot as the others slowly filed into the room.

[b]"Shuu-kun!"[/b] He said excitedly, blobfish dropping out of his mouth. [b]"I brought us some breakfast!"[/b]
