Zhyropolis -- Sequence
Added 2026-01-19 13:42:42 +0000 UTCIn the City - in the lowest tier, at least - things were simple. If you were able to present yourself at the Elevator weighing 250 pounds, you could move up. If you weren't, you stayed where you were. For those content with staying where they were, they could be assured of a NutriBlok per day, delivered by the friendly masked guards on their trundling cart. Otherwise, there was always the option of delving deep into the warrens below the city streets. Down, down to the ruins of the older iterations of the City, the places where the wires sparked and the concrete cracked and fell upon anyone who happened to lean against it the wrong way. Down where the remnants of the forgotten societies could be hunted for their meat. Half to the Elevator for those above, but the other half...that was all for you.
Lakra hated the expeditions down there. She hated seeing the wretched, ahuman figures that they had to shoot and haul back. She hated working with grimy caloriediggers who'd just as soon eat you as the monsters you hunted. She hated that, no matter how many pieces of meat they brought back, it was never the grunts like her who seemed to get any fatter. To her mind, there was really only one way to get bigger: the NutriBloks. And in order to get enough of those to make it to Gobbletierr, she would need to start hunting a different kind of monster...
