The naturegoddess watched through the illusion, uninterested. She knew all of that of course, how could she not? Instead she was looking at Desious the entire time, judging his body language and mannerisms, trying to figure out what to do next. [color=39b54a][i]And, more importantly, where do[/i] [b]you[/b] [i]get your powers form? All of us were rendered inert, why not you? And - how can I achieve the same? And, if he is as old as you, mother and father, where has Huseror been the entire time, why is there still an Earth for me to be? He would never have another chance to undo everything that is.[/i][/color] she mused, wondering just how much of this she should ask of the glorified spirit taxi driver and how much to keep for herself.

[color=39b54a]"Oh for Heaven's sake..."[/color] She shook her head. [color=39b54a]"You are infatuated with humans, we get it. Some of them I am keen on myself. You know what else I like? Javan tigers. Tasmanian devils. Sea minks. They're all extinct, because of them, and because I wasn't there to prevent it. So I sank a ship with hundred refugees. Out of seven billion, to save the last of a plant species they would have trampled to death. How about all of the tsunamis I settled before they reached Japan? I did not differentiate humans form other life then, and have no intention to start. And now I need to start healing this world they broke! Do you intend to stop me from doing so?"[/color] she asked, her arms falling alongside her body from where they have been folded on her chest. Hiraga did not wish to fight, but this was what she was born to do. Her purpose. It was [i]all she had.[/i] And for that, fight she would.

[color=0054a6]"Mmmmhm! that hit the spot!"[/color] the woman hummed, momentarily happy, although she knew that if this day was any indication, it would not last.  She picked up one of the sodas and slurped loudly from it. [color=0054a6]"Bucket could have used less wings and more drumsticks though."[/color] she made the offhand note to the waitress.

Who, at this moment, was staring at her empty tray utterly and completely gob smacked. "Sweet fortune, ma'am! How did you pack it all away already?!"

"And act like it was [i]nothing[/i]?" The cashier added, looking more pale than when Shirley ordered.

The eater gave them a sharky grin. [color=0054a6]"Well, my momma claimed to be the goddess of nature, so who knows? All I know - I am a competitive eater, but never have I been hungry as I am since yesterday. Hey, sugar, can I have a bag of cheetos with me for the road? It's a long way to where the bells ring."[/color] she said cryptically. The employees looked at the for a second, then at each other, shrugged, gave her the cheetos and wished her a safe trip.
