The Oshibana Foreigner [Private//Mark]

"..." It was the early noon, and the Oshibana railroads began to operate again. People filled the cart by cart in a matter of seconds, some holding hands of their children, some on their communication devices having a formal conversation, other young women chatting it up, and old and young couples smothering each other in affection. The fresh smell of industrialization. The unique architecture of Oshibana Town!... Nidhogg hated it. But that was to be expected from someone, or something that had been living in nature for his entire lifetime. Adapting to this environment, so different from Testukazu, was certainly a challenge, but he was able to figure out his necessities pretty quickly. Clothing, the currency, certain terms and sayings, he caught up quickly and had a decent knowledge of it, enough to get by anyway.

But that was to be expected from an intelligent creature such as he, the culture here was odd but his basic needs to live was already acquired and almost mastered. Except navigation. For the past two weeks, Nidhogg had gotten lost countless times trying to get to basic destinations. He didn't bother asking for help, seeing as he dare not interact with the scum of the Earth. However, he could not roam about Earthland in his original form, the was here to experiment, no cause heart attacks (although that would be fun to see!).

Nidhogg sat at the bench just in front of the railroad station, suffocating himself in his own thoughts. I could get on one of those... he suggested to himself. But later realized that not only did he not have money, he wasn't exactly sure where it would take him. He groaned and leaned back onto the wooden backboards with his sharp, dog-like teeth and cold, menacing look, sharp eyes with no emotion displayed except distrust. Oh, how he died for a taste of flesh between a tooth right now! With so many human men and women just walking in front of him, they were sitting ducks.

Nidhogg itched for a taste, but restrained himself. He'd get some labrats. Eventually.
