The perks of being strong, a jack of all trades and overall great feels good when it grants you rewards for a job well done. Maybe I should take Mike over to the hotel...the food there was pretty good. And the pool was awesome.

Date: December 24th Location: Orez Delivery Company Basement Time: 10:05 pm

Night time, snow had just began to fall in the city. It was the one time of the year, where the streets were free of anyone good or bad. Tomorrow was a universal day of freedom for all species, and Ruru even got paid extra for his job of delivering and sorting 100000 lbs of furniture for a new skyscraper in the Town of Lodeos. Being a one man army meant that he would receive full pay, tip and even better, a card for free stay as long as he wanted. It would be useful down the the line, for now wanting to relax at home after relaxing at the 5 star spa he was given after the job.

The bright light of his arrival was greeted by silence, expecting to see his friend sulking but finding him to be MIA. There was no sign of fowl play, the green haired dragoon of wind looking around and checking the bed. He was dressed in a black shirt which had a picture of body armor on the front and back but not being body armor, and having fatigues on with black boots, "Hmm...weird. Mike should've been here...unless he finally got over it.", he thought to himself, finding a note on the bed which read "Dahlia called, wanted to hang out. Will be back by 10 pm. Michael".

Again the snake girl called him up, wondering if his friend really did have a thing for snakes considering how late he was. But given how his bud was, it was doubtful, being the faithful type. The dragonesses were definitely for him, though how things were now, it was making him wonder if that was still the case. Either way it was 10:07 and Ruru jumped over his bed, being about 15 feet away from his pal's and pressed his P.I.C. to bring up the Tv on a holographic screen, displaying it at a 4k resolution. There was nothing on at this hour, watching a show about how stuff was made for a twenty minutes before there was an interruption to his regularlly scheduled programming.

N.D. appeared on the screen, making Ruru sit up and wonder what was going on. It was a world wide message, seeing that every channel had been cut for this message. It was a normal tri annual message as it went on, but what was said was different this year than normal. Different that it was a major problem to not only him, but to the dragoon of fire, "Oh fucking hell...are you serious?", said Ruru, now looking worried as the commercial ended. Quickly he began to call his bud, a bright flash brightening the room to show that someone had teleported in.

The dragoon of wind prepared his hand in case it was an unwanted intruder, before seeing that it was a friend, not a foe, "I trust you saw that message? Call Eurasia. Now. I'll take care of something else in the meantime.", ordered Abu, dressed in lab-coat, and scrubs and being in a nervous sweat. Things had just hit the fan and the time to prepare was now, turning off the TV channel and focusing on calling up the missing dragoon of fire. Abu had vanished in a flash of light once more, Ruru wondering for a moment what exactly he had in his smarty pants mind.

  • Meanwhile, earlier...

I never got fashion...Mom made things easy and always had my clothes ready before school...even though I never saw her and how she chose whatever I would wear. Then everything was more stream lined when I became a dragoon when I had a predetermined outfit with the armor. Now....I just take what I feel is comfy or looks cool. Women seem to really get into the clothing scene.....

Date: December 24th Location: Colossus Mall Teleportation Arrival Area, Snake City of Calimas Time: 4:01 pm

The dragoon of fire had been pulled away from his clothing run by Dahlia, being told that they needed help with the clothing they had picked out. Snakes had large changing quarters, especially for females, which were large enough to hold in two snakes of their size and more. Michael was carrying clothes nearly double his height, but not having problems from his natural strength. As he put the pile in the changing room, he intended on waiting outside for them, but Kayla insisted him to stay and help them try on and give his opinions with it. That meant seeing them naked, something he had preferred not to, but his promise to give them a good day was a priority, especially what Zicfore told him.

There was wooden bench to put the clothes on, Michael using it to stand up to make up for his small height compared to the snakes, helping Dahlia try on a blouse and putting it over her head. The two were talking idly on what clothes would be good on each other, giggling at Michael's blushing face as he was looking away each time their bare bodies were facing him. They tried out quite a few outfits, from corsets, leather, even a few long skirted items. Though only a few got their approval in terms of design, comfort and functionality. On the last shirt that the dragoon was helping Dahlia take off, Kayla playfully sneaked her tail over and pulled his foot out from under him as he leaned forward.

Dahlia gave a large squeal, though of the delighted kind as she felt the human falling face first in her cleavage, with his hands gripping her nipples as they were the only thing that he quickly thought to grab to avoid tumbling. Kayla laughed, teasing the human as he quickly let go and fell to the floor face first, being not only in shock but completely embarrassed, "Eurasia, I didn't think you were that kind of human! Maybe Steve rubbed off on you?", feigning a shocked gasp from what he did. Nothing in his training could've prepared him for this, now having a fully red face from the sudden turn of events. Dahlia knew that it was a trick played by Kayla, smirking as she did enjoy his warm hands on her now pert nipples. Michael excused himself quickly, waiting outside as the ladies behind the doors were laughing and teasing the dragoon.

As the two snakes had their privacy, Dahlia slithered up to her friend, pressing her breasts against Kayla's and smirking, "You sneak you...Eurasia isn't that clumsy...hehe...", said, seeing better how her new figure matched up against each other. Kayla gave a playful grind against her, noticing that Dahlia was probably a cup size bigger than she was, which would explain why the human had trouble getting most of the clothing on them. Top of the line clothing unfortunately was not in every size, both of them being a bit juicer than your average snake. However Dahlia was thicker than that, her body being over double the size of what it used to be when she first met the dragoon in Vanaxxis castle. Though the breasts luckily didn't hurt her back, the added bonus of fun they gave was well worth it.

To better tease her friend, Dahlia pinched Kayla's nipple while having the naughtiest look on her face. A deep hiss escaped her as she leaned her head back, licking her lips as she reached a bit low to tease her lower bits below, the lightest bit of fuzz surrounding the lips which made the coral snakess gasp and nearly jump in place. The two stared each other down for a moment, before sighing as they realized that the fun would have to wait. However the foundation for future fun was set, both of them having ideas on how to make the other squeal, "Mmm...don't worry, I have a good sized bottle of lotion. Steve can rub on it us...if he did his chores properly...let's pick the best ones however and proceed to check out. There's still a few more places we should check.", recommended Kayla, Dahlia giving a nod and giving her friend a playful last pinch to her other nipple, feeling them to be pert and ready to be played with.

After about 20 minutes of sounds and chatter that Michael was trying to ignore half the time, the duo finally came out, handing Eurasia a pile about 2/3rd of what he carried and the two both having a small amount that they chose to keep. As they slithered to the counter, the red scaled owner ruffled his suit and looked at the amount of clothing they were about the purchase. However the two snakes only placed a smaller pile on the counter, the human beside them having the majority of the profits, "Hmm...and will you need help bringing that up here Human?", he asked, guesturing with his hands.

The dragoon could barely see in front of him, about to walk forward with the clothes before he was tugged by his shirt with Dahila's tail, "Wait wait, this is all we want. Eurasia, be a dear and put those clothes back. Properly mind you and in their spots.", she requested, not looking forward to it but giving a polite yes and wobbling off, going around the store and putting everything back in their proper place. While the dragoon was busy with that, it gave a moment for the snakes to work their magic as everything was being totaled up, "Hmm...do you mind giving this total in Kash. The human is paying and he comes from outside where the currency is Kash.", requested Kayla, thinking ahead since the Michael only had money in Kash, not gold.

"Of course..this comes out to...90,000--wait, the human is paying? That's a 10 percent addition to it...making it 99,000. There is a fee for humans like him..", he remarked Sachel, the snake glancing at their rather open cleavages for a moment before Kayla slammed a hand on the table, surprising him. Dahila looked at her friend and saw the signal when Kayla glanced back. Kayla moved her hand onto his, rubbing it light as she lowered her chest down to give him a better look, "Sweetie...Normally I would agree...but the fee is referring to whatever the human is buying for himself...he is merely paying for us...nothing in this is for him.", explained the sexy juicy Ochre snakess, giving him a serious look along with the eyecandy below her chin.

Dahlia leaned forward as well, scooting beside her friend and pressing the of her breasts against Kayla's, giving a little playful pout at him and putting a hand on her revealing blouse, "You see, he's being a gentleman and buying us new clothes. It's very expensive to find stuff in our size you know...and at those prices..we wouldn't be able to buy enough clothes to last...", she remarked, pulling down the fabric slowly until a sliver of areola was visible, the tops of her nipple nearly in view, "You see how little this covers?...and how they're so stuffed so tight inside...Mmm...those new clothing would help a snake out.", she continued, her voice sounding more sensual while she licked her lips.

Sachel was definitely getting the idea of what they wanted, knowing that he did run a business and he couldn't let a sexy pair of snakes and their pair of breasts distract him from profits, "Ermm...they are quite snug..but I do sell top of the line quality goods, and they require top of the line prices.", he replied, though nervously as she barely showed the top side of her left nipple to him. Kayla put a hand on her Dahlia's right breast, a finger running over the pert nearly visible nipple as she eyed him, "I can understand that...but you really think you can make a profit today? No one is around...except us. You wouldn't want to not only end up empty handed, but disappoint two wanting ladies would you?", added in Kayla while her friend gave a light moan and leaned her head back from the light teasing.

The red snake was definitely falling into a trap, but he was already waist deep and was finding it hard to climb back out. Being a single snake was difficult, even more so when getting tail was hard on his own due to his job. They managed to break his willpower for a moment, the common sense switch turning off in his brain and putting a hand on Kayla's chest, "Mmm...disappointing a customer is not what I want to do. I want you to leave here happy and..satisfied.", he hissed, feeling that softness of a breast that he missed. Dahlia hissed as well, grabbing his other hand and letting him grasp her right breast, being softer and juicier than her friend's. He was shocked to find such sexy snakes in his shop, even more so that he did not have to share the experience with his employees.

With his throbbing sensation below bothering him, knowing that since they had a human with them, it would not be a good opportunity to try and have them ditch him, "Mmmph...I'll tell you what ladies...you show me your "assets", and I'll..give you the manager's discount...", he asked, his face looking redder than usual as his fingers tugged their wear, then pulling back. Dahlia was the first to do so, pulling down that revealing shirt to allow her lovely tits to bounce right out. They were a bit bigger than he thought, noticing that they were kept snug within the fabric strong enough to contain such marshmellowy pair of breasts. The coral snakess's nipples were a gray color against her black scales, obviously pert from the attention. Though Kayla had a nice pair, she was snake enough to admit that her friend had a more ample pair. However she too pulled her breasts out from hiding, the dark ochre nipples clearly happy to be free, "You're really making us happy with such a deal...you see how much...pressure we carry with us every day?...no normal clothing could contain this..."burden" we have.", remarked Kayla, squeezing her nipple and giving a lewd light moan, not enough to alert the dragoon who was too busy arranging clothes.

Sachel swallowed hard, punching into the register his normal 10 percent discount, but so distracted by the breasts that he punched in 60 percent as he was hypnotized by the sight before him. As he reached out, Kayla quickly pulled her shirt as the total came out to 36000 Kash, a massive pull down from the 90000 that it was earlier. Sachel's hand froze, wondering why she did so, with Dahlia following suit, though having more trouble from her shirt being a size too small, "Sorry Sachel. You only said to "Show you", the goods. If you wanna play, you'd have to increase the...discount. It says 36000?", she remarked, the crimson snake breaking out in a cold sweat that he did such a massive mistake. Unfortunately once it was punched in, there was no way to reverse it as the passcode to do so was only known by him, and he would punch it in during special moments. It was only meant to be used once in a blue moon, and he hadn't gotten around to update the system to allow a change in a discount, "Ack...b-b-but...", he stammered, the human returning behind the snakes.

"Oh Eurasia, good timing. I trust you put everything back to where they were? The total is 36000...can you be a dear and pass me funds?", ask Kayla with her classic classy tone of voice. Michael was exhausted from doing something so mundane, not even folding his own clothes half the time. However now that they were done, he pulled out 40000, noticing that the red snake seemed to have a look of complete devastation, "Hmm...14000 left...will that be enough?...I may have to use the---", he thought to himself, being handed the change back from a sighing Sachel.

"T-thanks for your business....I hope you return soon.", remarked the humiliated and now horny snake, the table hiding his bulge from the human but the girls could spot it easily. As Dahlia took the change, she took his hand and squeezed it, making him look up to get a wink from her, "We'll be back..definitely. Thankies hun.", she remarked, Kayla giving a playful hiss and flicking her tongue at her before slithering off. Dahlia handed the 4 boxes to Michael, not minding carrying the stuff as the trio went off to their next store.

Despite losing funds, he quickly composed himself as the snakess duo gave him the rush he was lacking. He would have quite a bit of thought for his personal time tonight, the idea of one or even both of them returning bringing a smile to his face. As he relaxed and relished in his thoughts of naughty fun, he heard someone else slither into the store, quickly standing erect and greeting his next customer. It was however a friend of his, running the jewelry shop a bit down the halls and one of few cobras in the area, "Afternoon Sachel...I was planning on buying something nice for tomorrow's party...but did those two slither out of your store? They were talking about double teaming a certan crimson cutie in a few days.", asked the Jeweler Cobra Wizdei, Sachel blushing brightly as they were actually talking about future fun with him.

He looked more red than before, Wizdei noting that they must have pulled the same "evil" scheme as in his store, "Yea...Might I suggest drinking alot of water before hand? You don't have a duo package like me so you'd best be prepared to put more effort. Take it from me...they won't be satisfied as easily as your prices satisfy the average customer.", he remarked, thinking back to when they paid him a surprise visit right about closing time a little over a month ago. Sachel playfully pushed his friend, laughing together as the two shared their notes about the two snakesses.

The two snakes paid a visit to another store after the dragoon of fire mentioned he did indeed have a bit more money, the human carrying a mountain of boxes over him. Though to repay the hospitality, Dahlia bought Michael a new shirt, a pure black one made of the finest materials a snake can make which was surprisingly comfy. Though it was awkward as Dahlia offered a new pair of jeans and attempted to undress the dragoon. His reaction was cute and Kayla did wonder what the dragoon was hiding. However they tortured him enough after seeing his blush and attempting to keep his pants on, seeing that the time was about 5:10 pm and that they had to hurry to Kayla's place to drop off the mountain of clothing and other things they had bought.

Steve had finished his chores, but he was not allowed to come this time, still on punishment. Though he was promised food if she had come home to a shinier home than before, as well as a bit of extra if Kayla saw he put 110% into it which brightened his day. The two humans spoke for a bit, discussing things such as the latest fashions snakes seem to like and favorite foods which was a nice thing for Steve to talk with a fellow human. After spending about 20 minutes at home, Kayla petted Steve and slithered out with Dahlia and Michael, walking through town in the light of dusk.

Location: Snake City of Calimas, City limits Time: 6:24 pm

The well talked about restaurant of who could be considered a local legend. Although the place on the outside did not look like much, especially not to house the caliber of food known to be legendary. Normally a broken down wooden restaurant that went out of business years ago, the previous owner would instead rent the place out, with the residents taking the place as is for a determined amount of time. However a rather famous snake, a python specifically, had returned to the area, picking up the place for nearly nothing using her charm and cooking expertise.

Wallets were emptied and bellies were filled as patrons exited happily, the famous soul food chef working her hands off from 11 pm to 1 am. She charged higher prices than most places, but no place was even close to having the same quality of food she was able to make was unmatched by every jealous chef in the towns she visits. Although Kayla was nervous after the amount of money spent earlier, Michael assured them that he had more. With the sun setting, the trio entered the Slithin Soul, where you'll always come back for seconds.

The wooden door opened with a creak, with the rather large spacious restaurant filled with snakes, even Ezcols and Pythons. There was one cobra, but every table was pretty much filled, with everyone talking among each other or looking at the large HDTV showing some event. Half eaten bowls were pretty much plentiful all over, Kayla wondering where to go, before spotting a few extra spots by the bar. Dahlia saw no chairs at first, having to slither to the other end to find a few, intended for the patrons with legs which were rare in snake territory. The interior was rather plain, with only carpet covering the floor for snakes to at least slither around comfortably. Walls were unpainted, and there was nothing spent in creating an atmosphere rather than being a place to eat. The head chef found little reason to invest on making the place look amazing when she moved around so often, knowing that people came for the food more than anything.

Michael could not deny that the smell of food was quite intoxicating, surprised that the scent coming from the kitchen was getting such a reaction from him. It wasn't until Dahlia brought over a chair and Michael finally took a seat was when he was noticed, a bit of whispering spreading across the establishment like the grease from a sitting piece of meat served on a plate. The human was sitting between the Ocher snake and the Coral snake, discussing with them the possible options, but also inquiring about what certain foods were as some names were a bit baffling. One was was the "Baconation Porking Delight", which had the description of "Pork kept warm and toasty in a coat of bacon!", or the "Ham Souffle", which was described as "At last, Marriage between Cake and Ham legalized!".

The dragoon of fire could only chuckle in confusion if this chef was being literal with her descriptions, not finding any pictures, but the variety of possible choices was stunning, with over 10 pages of possible food, front to back in a small font, "Man...there's so many options...but I'm assuming that these are snake sized portions. The Baconation Porking Delight is almost 8000...but Ham Souffle sounds delicious...and it comes in 5 flavors too.", he asked Kayla, amused at the human's interests and wondering if his stomach could handle the "generous portions" that were served here, "Yes, you can tell by their bellies and the plates that there will be ALOT of food...can you handle it?", she asked, the dragoon nodding as he hadn't eating well at all since the event with the dragonesses he once knew.

To his surprise, the dragoon found in the drinks section his favorite beverage, putting it on his priority list, "Okay...I think I know what I'll get. The Ham Souffle sounds delicious...love ham...with a...--huh?!", yelped the dragoon, feeling a strong slap at the other end of the table. It made Dahlia jump, having been considering something with more chicken while Kayla merely glanced over, seeing Yellow scaled Python with red diamonds on his stomach and back going down to his tail, dressed with a black leather shirt. The letters "Big K." were embroidered in what seemed to be false gems, on the front and in the back in a bigger font, "Kayla? That you? I see you have a new pet.", he remarked, Kayla scoffing at the comment.

"Talos...I know you're the Lookout...but can you try and do your job first before assuming?", she remarked to him, pointing to the human's shirt which had the symbol of their territory pinned on it. The brightly scaled snake gave a disgusted hiss, shocked that the council gave such a weak looking human their approval, "What? You mean this thing is a free human? The council couldn't have given the thumbs up...", he muttered, turning to the side for a moment before looking at Michael. He merely waved at him, getting a cold glare in return which did not phase him. Talos then pointed his attention to the other snake beside the human, not having seen her before and slithering over to say hello.

As Michael turned to focus back on the menu, Talos shoved him against the table, Kayla not surprised as he was the more show offy and rude type, "Hey there sweet stuff. Why not come around Big K.'s table and enjoy some better company?", he said, flicking his red tongue in her direction while keeping a suave grin on his face. Dahlia shook her head, expecting such a thing to happen on their day though luckily it hadn't since most everyone was relaxing at home. She put her menu down and patted the crimson haired human on the head, "No thank you Talos...I'm here to enjoy a good meal with friends. And he's being a better job of being nice company than you are....Michael here is treating us tonight to best food around.", she replied, declining his "sweet" offer.

"You're a human lover? Bah...his money isn't good here...why not let us treat you to an even better time? You know our kind are more endo---!", the smooth talking snake was interrupted by a frying pan hitting the other end of the bar, silencing everyone as the head chef came out, which Michael was shocked to see that it was not only a female, but a rather large one. While on the chair, he was about neck height for Kayla and Dahlia, but as the olive green python slithered over behind the bar, it was obvious how much bigger she was. He was barely below her chest, Talos chuckling nervously as Nadiya herself finally came out from the kitchen to hear what was all the noise, "Talos, get ya scaly butt back to Kojo's table. Don't scare away the clientele, as anyone's money is good here. Even humans go hungry.", she said with a firm tone in her voice, that Rastafarian accent making her quite popular among many a snake. Talos quickly slithered away, getting a few murmurs from the crowd as he went back to his table as ordered.

Not only was she a sexy snake known for her cooking, but those black dreads, her rings on each finger and golden bracelets were well known among the snake world. She was quite a juicy snake, being even thicker than Dahlia, each breast about 3 times bigger than Michael's head which Kayla noticed that her purple dress was barely the smaller than her apron, which was having trouble containing that well endowed bosom, "Thank you. He wasn't being very nice to Kayla or Dahlia...are you Nadiya?", asked Michael, getting a smile from her in which she petted him on the head, her hand having four rings, each with a different colored gem. Her braceletes jiggled as she ruffled his hair, nodding in response to his question, "Yes sugah, Nadiya is who you dream about when hunger ails you. And who may you be? You skinny hungry human you?", she asked, leaning on the bar and giving the dragoon what most snakes would want in his position, a great view of her cleavage.

However he spent no time eying or ogling it, looking right up at her face to respond, a move that amused her as which meant that he was a respectful male, "Ah...I'm Michael. Kayla said your food was the best of the best, and we had to come here. Nice to meet you.", he said with a bright smile, making her squeal with delight as she held her pan up and spun it about. Kayla grinned and patted the wooden bar, having in mind what to eat now that her appetite returned, "Yes, this human here offered to treat us, and I knew he had to have the best snakes can make. I appreciate you putting Talos in his place...How he spoke to Steve still peeves me.", thanks Kayla, Nadiya raising a hand to show that it was no problem. Last time she was around, she took Steve to eat out and Talos made her pet very unhappy and uncomfortable, something that she did not like. While she was not a human lover persay, no one can mistreat pets without good reason.

"Of course honey, under my roof, you are all mouths to feed. No room for any of dat prejudice here... Now what shall I get you?", she queried, Michael ordering the Ham Souffle with strawberry, a fine choice. Kayla ordered something a little less big, going with Lamb Chops while Dahlia preferred dessert at this time, asking for a frozen chocolate banana split. Luckily they were the newest customers, and probably no more would appear so she could focus on their food. The cooking took about 40 minutes, the dragoon enjoying a 100 oz cup of apple juice, which was a medium size for snakes. Kayla had some kiwi juice while Dahlia took strawberry juice with a hint of alcohol, remembering the dragoon's taste though regretting the trauma she caused him as well.

When the food was finally ready, Nadiya brought out all 3 plates at once, two in each hand and one on her tail, each on a wooden plate which was supporting a metal one, with the sound of the meat sizzling for Kayla and Michael's order. In her tail, she held the choco-banana split, Dahlia squeeing with delight as it looked so delicious. The dragoon was dumfounded at the sight of the food, the smell of it nearly making him drool with the perfect harmony of ham with herbs and species alongside the scent of strawberry was nearly too much to bear. The large piece of ham slice of cake at the top. Kayla had a bit of fries served with her order, having about 5 large cuts of lamb chops, which she was quite ready for after a long day slithering around town.

"That sweet greasy smell...though that is odd...you rarely take the orders yourself. Where are Klaire and Souce?", asked Kayla, being handed a fork and knife by Nadiya herself, smiling as she also handed it to the other two guests. Michael's utensils were comically large, not minding as soon as he cut into the moist pork and a took a bit, he nearly fell out of his chair, shocked from his stomach to his brain in how much flavor the meat had. Nadiya giggled seeing there was another satisfied customer, not getting a reaction like that in some time, "Aww...gonna make this ego of swell up like your soon to be full tummy...", she remarked, then turning her attention to Kayla who was nomming the delicious cooked meat, "Oh those two? Since it is slow today, they were helping me cook your delicious meals. But it was also a darn good time to teach them how to be solo chefs, as they will be wonderful food preparation specialists like yours truly!", she replied happily, proudly putting a hand on her chest from the amount of pride she had in her cooking.

Michael ate through his food faster than he expected, surprising the snakes a few who were wondering about his presence in a snake establishment. He definitely had the appetite of a snake a few thought, a certain someone taking notice and causing many to wonder if the human would be up to a test. Obviously he could not compare to their kind, but it would be amusing to see how he'd wimp out. Dahlia was surprised hearing that he was considering seconds, still quite hungry though a bit embarrassed to show how hungry he could get. His power gave alot of benefits, such as massive increased resistance to disease and toxins, as his blood flows at about 200f, keeping many diseases at bay and destroying the majority of toxins. But it also came with an increased metabolism, which he keeps at bay usually as it would mean clearing out fridges if he were to gorge until he was full. Though he had gone on a massive fasting since leaving the dragonesses, he reached his limit and nearly went crazy from just drinking water, feeling the need to just pig out. Finally he felt alright, having nice conversation with Kayla and Dahlia about being in the sun and enjoying dessert in the heat.

The dragoon was very relaxed, so much that he hadn't been paying attention to any potential threats that could happen. He received a pat on the back that nearly made him fall off his chair, turning around to see Talos bugging him once more, "Ah...knew things were too good for the moment...", he thought to himself, the bright yellow python having a smile which was not a good thing. Kayla turned around while finishing off the last pork chop, wiping her mouth off and giving him a cold glare, "Back again? You plan on giving this human death threats too?", she asked, remembering the abuse Steve suffered that night. Talos shook his head, patting the human somewhat roughly, "Of course not! I simply want to invite the human to one of our favorite traditions! If he's a free human, and has a good taste in snakes, why not let him partake in the Two Ton Challenge!", he offered, lots of snakes in the background nodding in agreement.

It was obvious that no human best a snake, using this challenge was a farce to try and humiliate the human and hopefully get him out. Dahlia had a bit of ice cream on her muzzle as she heard the whole restaurant want to start the challenge immediately. Nadiya came back out, holding a large cup of apple juice that was supposed to be for the human but heard the words "Two Ton Challenge" which made her giddy with glee. She served the human the 100 oz cup of juice, Michael giving a massive smile and thanking her for it, "Oh no problem honey. But I heard the challenge is being offered? Who's going to explode and who's going to slither home with victory?", she asked, being quite curious on the challengers. She looked down to see Talos admiring her cleavage, before he shook his head and pointed to the crimson haired human drinking down the cup of juice as if he spent a week in a desert.

Nadiya raised an eyebrow, seeing what was probably going to happen but it was not her place to interfere. Every snake loved the Two Ton Challenge and not many humans participated at all, "The human....hmm...and I assume...Big K will be be the his opponent? Setting the little fella up against that monster of a great customer....", she thought to herself, loving the spirit of eating but not mismatched battles. Though Michael was listening, wondering what this challenge would have him do. Though from he was thinking, it was not a test of physical strength, but still unsure, "Two Ton Challenge? Me?...what do I have to do?", asked Michael as he finished off his juice, offering it to Nadiya who was surprised to see the human not looking worried in the least. Kayla wiped her face off, and did so for the human as well, seeing that he was not presentable for such an event, "Well for one, clean your face off young man. You're supposed to be setting a good example for Steve....", she remarked, making the dragoon chuckle nervously as he was too focused on eating and his curiosity on what he was challenged to.

Dahlia had seen Big K. eat before, and it was not a pretty sight, worried if he could out eat such a beast, "Eura....you have to...out eat...him.", she replied to his question, pointing to a snake who Michael looked over and notice he was quite scrawny, old and even coughing a bit. Honestly it seemed like a joke that someone like that could out eat anyone, even someone like himself. He gave her a skeptical look, pointing to the old looking snake, "Wait him? He looks a bit skinny...and old to be challenging anyone...and he doesn't look that big.", he remarked, before getting his head turned to the left a bit. There was a large large dark olive scaled python, which seemed to be a theme with them being larger than any other snake. Nadiya towered over everyone in the room and this guy was even bigger than her. Now the feeling of worry sank in, even with his hunger, he definitely seemed like a big eater, "....Okay I see. That's Big K....he's pretty big.", he remarked, Talos laughing at the human's bewildered look.

Even with his hunger, he wasn't sure if he could out eat him. However that pain in his stomach was urging him get more food, despite the weight of the competition looming over him. Talos spoke to Big K for a moment, muttering something which made him slithered off from his table and meet his competitor. It became apparent how tall this python was, being in his shadow was nothing new from how many dragons and such the dragoon had spoken to, but snakes are still a new thing to him. He was thick like most of the other pythons, but his arms were somewhat muscular, bringing a large hand which easily covered his head to ruffle the human's red hair, "I see my opponent is a human. I have to say, even for me this is a shocker....but I was told you scarfed down the Ham Souffle without problems. Slick appetite you got there.", he said with a smile, his tone and overall demeanor seeming friendly.

The slightly messy but gelled black hair added to his cool factor, Michael fixing his hair and nodding, "Yup thats me. I am still hungry...haven't eaten in over a month about.", he remarked, Dahlia surprised to hear. She knew he was depressed, but to not eat...it was something that made her feel worried inside. However luckily his naturally strong body did not suffer too badly, as he still worked out and drank quite a bit of water. His spiritual energy kept his body nourished and prevented him from starving, "I see. Well then you up to the challenge? Nadiya's food is the best thing ever, and I'm famished! Haha!", he said with a big smile and a chuckle, the dragoon giving another nod to show he would accept the challenge.

Kayla put a hand on his shoulder and pulled the human close, having a serious look on her face, "Eurasia, I hope you are ready....the stakes at hand are nothing to laugh it. Loser pays for the food, winner basks in the glory with a full stomach. You saw the prices...", she warned, Michael nodding, then turning to look at Kojo who slithered off to his table to prepare, "No worries. That Talos said that its a snake tradition, and people like watching. I'm sure you would too...and this is a night to have fun right? And...I'm sure I can afford it. I do have "that" as you know.", he assured her, Dahlia giving her support by patting his other shoulder with a smile. Nadiya rang the dinner bell, signaling that the Two Ton Challenge is about to commence. Everyone huddled around two tables, with the dragoon sitting at one that looked comically large for him.

Everyone's bets were on the hometown favorite, Kojo, aka Big K on winning by a landslide. To make things interesting, Dahlia betted against them, putting up 10000 kash up as she had faith that a month's worth of hunger could win. A violet snakess with dark blue hair, having a white apron similar to what Nadiya had, but covered more as she was somewhat thinner. She brought out two cups of water for the competitors, which if used right could be helpful or it could fill you up more than normal and cost you the competition, "Gentlemen...the rules are simple. He who fails to swallow their portion or regurgitates it loses. Hometown favorite Big Kojo in the food face off against the Free Human Eurasia. Small in size but big in appetite! Who will win?", she asked, getting lots of cheers with almost everyone shouting Big K. A few were curious about the human who seemed unphased in the face of overwhelming odds, about two snakes betting against Kojo along with Dahlia.
