The Adventures and Trials of Zone Captor

Hailey and The Show of Ocanta

"Right" Hailey said sarcastically.

"Is something wrong?"

"You always go places to deliver things. You say you take people because you are afraid to be alone."

"What are you getting at?"

"I just. This is what we choose to spend our time with?"

"You've just started traveling with me. Theirs more to see then you will ever understand"

"Right. Human. You're very human Zone."

"Well wasn't always" his mind flashed back to Chan. How the boy discovering Zone's past alienated him and caused him to leave. Hailey wasn't his first student.

"What were you then? Besides an Orion traveler?" Zones eyes grew dark and he stopped playing with his hair.

"Doesn't matter." Zone said. "It never matters."

"I bet you're just here for the food!" Hailey snarked.

"Well. I am a connoisseur of taste"

"Your no connoisseur Professor. You're a traveler. You're a madman. Your not a conciouser if I've ever seen one"

"Well now you have" Zone grabbed haileys gloved hand and pulled her into a hug.

"You'll see the world with me"

"Professor!"

"You will" Zone said smiling and let her go

"Now c'mon! We have a tour to get too"

As Zone took his key and existed his Pandorlica a door melted against a convention wall. Bright orange with a black question mark upon it.

Zone looked to clear the way and gave Hailey the go to. She was fond of her raincoat around this time. Always wearing the half fitted garment over her standard pink dress. Zone and Hailey arrived out of the exit. Their weren't halls like you'd fine in a human equivalent but rather jaggad roads if you could call them roads, and upon each road held a vendor. Giant Curstation like beings and other monstrous beings from different galaxies. This convention was special. Humans were an odd sort. It was the future not the past. But Zone didn't know he had gotten his power to travel in time again. He was confused when he saw the treat cart.

"Professor what are these things?"

"People" Zone said quietly unsettled.

"They don't look like people" Hailey managed. Zone became cross.

"I'm sorry are the only people the ones who look like you?"

"I didn't mean"

"Their people. Different morals. Different rules. Different...snacks. But people" Zone said.

"Sorry" Hailey said quite.

"It's okay. Just make sure not to wonder off."

"Why?"

"Because if you do. You'll end up a snack"

Zone said. Leading her they visited each vendeur. Zone paid for it with gold much to the creatures dismay. Each time Hailey grew incredibly uncomfortable.

Finally they were a furry vendor. He was a giant bug with fur upon his back. Zone got a meat stick from him. The creature blew on it with its fiery breath and Zone took a snag.

"Oh that's delicious. Want some?" He said chewing shoving the stick in Haileys face.

"What is it?"

"It's uh...Sir what is this?"
