The Mystery Monster of Hong Kong Bay

[caressthedarkness]

[So the Kaiju are gone for now, and despite the damage dealt to the city and Crimson Typhoon, Unity Group and the Jaegers were victorious.

It's rather odd, then, that people working at the docks continue to speak of a large creature lurking in the waters after the event. A monster...that flees at the sight of people.

If you stay around for a bit, you might catch a glimpse of it. In fact, as a UG member it seems to surface more often, though the most you might see is what looks like a giant snake's tongue popping up like a periscope, and the shadow of something waiting under the water.

And then...]

Ah...pardon me...would you happen to know of any place here that has some spare food...?

[How it's speaking is a mystery, but that voice sure sounds like Seta...]

[Well when he heard that there was a mystery monster around Calvin just couldn't help himself and went investigating. Then when he saw the tongue pop up and the huge shadowy presence under the water he froze instantly.]

........

[He was a few seconds from backing off slowly before jumping in surprise and barely keeping himself from falling into the water, looking around wildly before his head turns to regard the beast below.]

... Miss Albreich I presume?

[caressthedarkness]

Yes...

Please be careful not to fall over. I could help you back up...but right now...that would be difficult.

[in_over_his_head]

I can definitely believe that.

[Okay... so the strange not-human girl's real form is a giant serpent thing. Admittedly he was expecting something perhaps a little bit more terrifying... still though, Seta's really a giant snake creature. If she wanted to she could probably just end him right there.]

I'm getting the idea of why you said it was... inconvenient.

[He coughs lightly.]

[caressthedarkness]

It is...

I cannot walk into convenience stores and restaurants like this...

Locating food is very difficult...and I am unable to hunt...

[in_over_his_head]

Finding a lot of spare food in a place like Hong Kong is going to be... pretty difficult. Almost everyone here is in a rush so meals are always made to be on the go, prepackaged and all.

Unless there's a fishing boat making a drop somewhere around here...

[caressthedarkness]

I have tried to ask them, but most threatened to call Jaegers on me...even when I offered to pay...

...Stealing is not good, and out of the question.

[in_over_his_head]

I could try talk them into giving up plenty of fish... with how official they look and sound my credentials might be able to hold up as long as they don't make any calls.

[And as long as something doesn't happen to make him completely fuck up.]

[caressthedarkness]

Ah...

Then...it might be better if you request a smaller amount...since it would be less troublesome.

I need only enough for about another day...
