Star Pox (10) : Genetically modified fruits aren’t exactly new but every now and then something seems to be going on with them. This year, it’s star fruit. The entire batch from Destiny City’s largest supplier has a strange side effect; a few minutes after eating one, star-shaped ‘freckles’ will begin to cover the skin. While this has been colloquially dubbed’ star pox’, it appears to be a harmless allergic reaction. The freckles fade after a few hours and pose no actual health risks; they’ve become quite popular across social media. This might be your only chance to experience the strange trend! …Unless sales are good enough to bring them back.
There were plenty of places to get unique and exotic foods in Destiny City and every year had a new thing on the grocery list. While he wasn't one for cooking, premade foods and things that you could eat as it was or with minimal effort were always great.
Recently he placed order for the usual but added on a set of star fruits that were being advertised that week along with some watermelon. Taking both into the cart, he placed the order and waited until there was the familiar DING! of the doorbell. He waited a moment for the driver to leave, opened the door, and brought everything inside into the kitchen. He'd been shifted to a human again for the day and was putting everything out when he called for Sylvie.
"I got snacks." He called, always one to add anything that the other had wanted or requested. Arthur usually wanted to add something new to the list just so they could try it. A little new taste of Earth to add to their experiences, however small.
