Gus Porter in: Human interaction misadventures
Gus Porter consider himself someone very interested in human culture. I mean he was the president of the human appreciation club back on the boiling Isle. That's how you even met your friends and the human that is currently trying to save your home Luz and get back to it.
I mean, it's not hard to think about home after all. You're now in the very world like you've been interested ever since you found that magazine about humans. It just cost you that your Dad is probably very much in danger after releasing an ancient being called the collector which Luz informed you about.
It also probably doesn't help that to learn that your leader Emperor Belos, after which some research and explanation from this worlds version of a scroll to learn that he was something called a witch hunter who very much wanted the hunted your kind to death. Or maybe the fact that one of your best friends very much, blames herself about your friends being stuck here.
You don't wanna think about that. I mean, you can finally enjoy human culture and see all of it and glory. Luz's mom has been very kind to you and your friends with it being that you're stuck, here and trying to figure way to get back and save the boiling Isles. You feel pretty bad at seeing Luz moping around and blaming herself. You never blame Luz she's trying her best to help you and the others out in the situation.
You're really interested in exploring this town called Springfield. From what you have observed while walking down the street of this town a lot of the humans here at this Springfield Place have yellow skin. It must be a regional thing for humans. Man this place will really help up your knowledge about humans.
You have told everyone that you're kind of exploring this place and stuff you're not that irresponsible I mean you learned your lesson with going off with a group of strangers, the first time back on the boiling Isle. Really showed them with an illusionist could do.
As you're walking down through the street of Springfield, you see something that catches your eye. It looks like one of those robots Luz showed you on the boiling Isles text on the front of some window of a shop you assume which you look up to read the shop name.
The name of the shop that you're looking at is called the "Android's Dungeon and Baseball card shop." Wow you never knew that humans have dungeons just like on the boiling Isles. You could see lots of books in there. They kind of small looking so you want to get in closer to see what's the shop about.
When you open up the shop door and let out a small ring whoever owns the shop that here. You see a kind of overweight guy looks up from reading a comic book with a slight board look on his face and what he says to you while putting away the comic book underneath the counter
"Hello, welcome to my shop if there's anything you want, I will tell you that we have moved the Chewbacca a little bit left of the store. Also we're getting a restock of some items after a brief period of delay"
You look around these kind of thin paper books. wait a minute think you know what this is Luz show you she called this place a "comic book" shop which she says it's like a library instead, it uses pictures to tell the story with something called a text bubble.
You walk up to the guy who you're assuming is the owner of this "comic book" shop And say to the bored looking man who's currently just looking at you after putting away a comic underneath the shop counter.
"Hi, this is a comic book shop, right?"
You asked a bit to the man who is just giving you a look which he gives you a reply. Kind of scrutinizing you a bit, giving a look over. You feel his gaze staring right at you you feel like he could even see through your illusions from how much he's staring at you.
" Yes this is a comic bookshop but something more than that is also all of medias and the world's place of all works in the fictional sense."
You see the guy kinda looks proud as he says that before just looking back down at you still looking you over which he says as he narrows his eyes a little bit suspiciously at you.
" I don't think I've ever saw you here before in Springfield. what's up with your ears? They kind of look like elf ears being long and pointy."
Oh, you forgot to use illusion magic to make your ears look like a human ears so Gus the only way to make sure that you don't accidentally blurt anything out is by lying. You could always say that this is a Cosplay that you're doing.
" oh uh.. I'm doing a cosplay of a just like you said good, sir. Have I mentioned that your shop looks great looking today."
You see his eyes narrow less at the comment. It looks a little bit smug when you mention about his comic shop looking nice. You see, he begins adjusting a stand that has a comic book that's covered in plastic.
"Why thank you, I put everything into making sure this shop along with my wife's help into looking quite respectable. Have You've seen the new issue of radioactive man. I believe you will be quite interested."
You see he gestures to the comic book that has a cover of a buff looking human wearing a skin tight suit that has a weird symbol you never seen before. he's tied up with him cursing whoever did this to this radioactive and which you look at the man showing you the comic book
" no I never heard of comic books before or any of the stuff in the shop. Can you explain it to me what this stuff is and who this radioactive man is as well?"
The man looks completely floored at your question, rubs his head, giving you a look of complete confusion at your admittance of never reading a comic book. You see, he strokes his beard contemplating he looks at you and gives you a quite serious look.
" so you've never heard of a comic book before hmmm? Very well young one I will teach you all about the ancient and ancestral art. The the very. Nay the history itself of fiction in my shop you understand once I start this, your life will change."
You completely understand what he's saying he's challenging you to learn this fact about human culture so you shoot them back the same look of seriousness reply in the same serious tone.
" Tell me everything."
You see he looks a bit smug when you say that and lowers his head to your gaze in the same serious tone. his eyes never once moving away from yours.
" Young padawan you have so much to learn from me."
Same thing thank you for reading and just as always likes help me be creative and constructive criticism is always welcome. Thank you.
