4 Canst Get Any Lower. (1/2)

”Seriously? I'm an hour away from dying, and you're making jokes?”

[System reminds the host of his prior request]

It was then that James' voice was played back to him in his head 'Hey System, you know any jokes?'

It seems the system was resentful of James for breaking its requested silence.

It was then that James saw a red arrow on the ground he hadn't noticed before, up until now he had been standing in an alleyway acclimatising to his new body, but before James could even get his thoughts together he needed to find something to eat or he would die; permanently this time.

The arrow directly pointed to the exit of the alley, while following the direction he stepped on the indicator and saw his foot just pass straight through it. After recovering from the shock, he decided to ask the system about the phenomena.

”System, what's up with the arrow? Was this you or am I really going crazy?”

[The system confirms it was the source of the marking. The system is capable of influencing the host's vision making something appear in your view that does not exist for example.]

After James left the alleyway, he saw a street full of people wearing the same sort of tacky clothing with holes and dirt all over it.

”System can you highlight anything edible in my view?”

[Scanning and highlighting all edible materials in hosts vision.]

It was then that every person and animal in the street began glowing red that James felt a chill running down his spine.

”What the hell is this!? You expect me to eat people? And their fucking pets as well?”

[The host asked the System to highlight anything edible in the Hosts view, the system has done that. If you would like to refine the results, please specify other parameters for the scan.]

”Fine. Are there any edible things here that aren't peoples pets or the people themselves? Just ignore anything alive and find something that has already been processed.”
