It had been years, decades even since Chal had seen any form of civilization. It was a beautiful night, but he was confused why there were bright lights strewn across the land, and why there were structures made of wood. He began to walk into the city, being careful not to startle anybody with his abnormal skin color. He walked across the boardwalk, warily looking at how advanced humanity had come since he last saw them. "How the heck did they figure out how to put mini-suns in glass?", he asked himself as he looked at the street lights.
He could hear the humans whispering about him. "Is that a gem?" "What's he doing here?" "He looks new...", they all said. He pretended not to notice, and went on with exploring. After exploring a few buildings, he came across a clothing store. One of the items on display was a black hoodie, with orange stars all over it. It looked cool, so Chal turned his plain white t-shirt into a copy of the hoodie, the only difference being that the stars were blue, not orange. One of the store clerks saw him, and thought he was shoplifting.
"Hey, you're not allowed to take that!", she yelled at Chal. "'Scuse me lady, but I'll have you know I made this myself. Ya know what that means? It means I ain't gotta pay.", Chal said back at her as he casually walked out of the store. The lady was livid, but couldn't do anything about it, since what Chal said was 100% true. From there, he started walking down the street, and into an abandoned alley. He had no money, so if he was going to have a home, this was gonna be it. He just started to sit down, when he heard footsteps. Someone was trying to sneak up on him. "'Ey, who the heck's there?", he said to the stranger.
(Stranger can be literally anybody.)
