Maru didn't come to Cronopolis often.. mostly due to the place being associated with poverty, violence and preternatural bad luck. But there was a reason he was out here today, that reason being that a new restaurant had decided to open up here that was giving away free chicken for some sort of charity project of feeding the homeless. This new restaurant, if you can call it that, prided itself on how good their chicken was so Maru thought he'd journeying here to see if this place did have good chicken plus it was free food. Free food usually meant it tasted like ass or this lady who calls herself 'The Hen' is trying to avoid the health inspector by offering her chicken for free Maru just wanted to simply check this place out to see why is The Hen not selling her good chicken. Maru skipped down the sidewalk, his tails swaying smacking some beggars as he skipped passed them.
It was clear that Maru wasn't a resident of Cronopolis, with his splendid kimonos, shall flowing behind him, and a paper fan in hand he seemed to look more nobel than anything. As he skipped down the sidewalk, mocking a few bums on the way, he turned the corner then saw a man who was crouched in an ally like a wild beast eating something. Maru shrugged then continued, seeing family with the mother holding a black box.. the box having a picture of a hyper realistic hen that looked to be staring into your soul. Written in cursive, Maru could tell that it said 'The Hen' in hot pink words under the picture of the chicken. Maru's eyes followed the family, keeping his eye on the mother until he completely turned his head only to bump into someone! The masked fox laugh off the accident. "My bad got distracted, the ass of that mother that just walk by was like… perfectly round." He explained not ashamed that he was looking at someone with kids and a husband. The man turned around, having a plate with a couple of drumsticks and mashed potatoes putting down a piece of fried chicken he was already eating then began chuckling. The man was a young gate guard with a scar on his face, but despite looking rough he seemed nice considering that Maru had just rammed into him.
"Not a problem. You're here for the free chicken too?" asked the man and Maru nodded. The man offered to walk with Maru there since he might be going back to the Hen for another plate. After all it was some pretty good fried chicken so why not go there for some more? Walking a few blocks Maru saw people everywhere, all of them had the free chicken that the Hen had given them. People stuffed their faces, ate the marrow from the inside of the bone, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves! All except for one person… a man walking in the opposite direction as Maru looked deathly ill, holding his stomach and looking ghostly white like all the life was sucked out of him. "Hurrrrrr that chicken…. I think I ate too-" he gagged then coughed. Maru opening his paper fan to cover his mouth whispered to the man he was walking with. "Cross the street, that guy got something."
Of course, they just stood there mostly because the sickly man looked like he was about to collapse at any given moment. The sickly man slumped as he walked slowly, bending over, complaining about his insides and how they feel like it's tearing apart. Finally the man kneeled over then began to start crying! "SOMEBODY! TEH MEH TO DE HOS-" all he could get out before he clenched his mouth shut…. Though that didn't help because something pushed through his lips. His something was wiggling it's way out, forcing his mouth to open to reveal that what was erupting out of his mouth was…. A living roosters head feathers and all! The rooster head tilted it's head, the man looking to be in great pain; however, instead of hearing the muffled screams of the man the rooster clucked. "Cockadooledoo!!!"
