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.

Dant was out on the town during the Star Festival, with his human friend (and personal bodyguard, you might say). It had been quite a debate in the household, whether to let him go (something to do with his "security"). Back on Sekhmet, not many had cared too much about his security, his being a 'Gold Skin" and all except maybe Etamin and some of the others (see how that turned out and all...) so he did appreciate it, but how else could he learn how to fit in? With that and the fact that his reading of English really needed testing - it was unanimous to let him go.

He pointed to a stand that many humans seemed to be standing around eating star-shaped fruit. "Hey, Jeremy, does ah that sign say --- star-r fr-uit four saaaaaaallllllllle? I can't read the other symbols - they seem strange... maybe another language."

The strange symbols read '$1.05 each. 2 For $2.
