Pi In Summer

Warmup Story: Pi

Pi hunched over against the ceiling of the subway train, putting on his best ‘Not Making A Scene’ face and posture. That was quite the tall order though; the gatormonster stood a full 10 feet tall today, and took up enough room for three normal sized people. But he was doing his best to be normal today. Somedays he went full goo-demon, but not today.

Today, he just wanted to do normal people things. Specifically, sorbet. The summer heat was in full effect. Over 25ºC for nearly a week. Going to the pool wasn’t an option (he’d been banned last time after turning the pool’s water into goo) so the next best choice was some tasty sorbet. That meant putting on a shirt and pants, and taking the tube to the store. The air flow in here wasn’t great. Being unreasonably large didn’t make it any easier either, what with the multiple people pushed against him in the crowded car. He scowled at his shirt. It didn’t fit very well. He pulled down at the bottom of it but nothing made the fabric stretch quite enough. As if there weren’t enough reasons already for the train to stare at him.

The doors opened and Pi tried to wait patiently. He knew getting out through those tiny doors was going to be a struggle; it had already proven difficult to get inside. Plus his tail had turned into an impromptu row of seats for the commuters. Sprawling his thick gator tail across multiple seats was the only way he could fit in the car, so it was to be expected. Pi huffed, annoyed by the circumstances. He just had to bear it for a little longer.

Once the car was empty he pushed forward to leave and… felt something squirm beneath his tail. “Oh, sorry ‘bout that,” he rumbled as the tail snaked off a raccoon. The little guy, half Pi’s height, gave him the stink eye but kept walking. Pi sighed and stepped out of the car, hunching over even further to escape the metal box. The tube rocked slightly when he was out; apparently it was equally as happy to have the gator off.

The grocery was right across the street. Not much standing between him and a delicious, sweet, cool treat. For all his troubles getting here, now that the end was in sight Pi’s mood brightened considerably. His tail swayed back and forth on the sidewalk unconsciously as he walked. Other people on the path gave him considerable berth, but even so the happy swinging of his tail nearly knocked some of them flat.

“Just the lemon sorbet today, sir?” the ferret clerk asked at checkout.

“Yup, that’s all,” Pi said. The clerk raised an eyebrow as he looked Pi up and down. A single pint of sorbet, for someone this size? The big guy could eat that in a single bite. But oh well. That wasn’t his choice to make.

A loud cough from behind got Pi’s attention. Turning, he looked down to see a boar wearing a manager’s uniform. “Excuse me sir, but we have a strict clothing policy. Where are your pants?”

“Pants? With these stompers?” Pi asked, raising one of his legs to show off the tree-trunk thick appendages. “The trousers wouldn’t stand a chance.”

“Then I’m going to ask you to leave. No shoes, no shirt, no… pants, no service.”

Anger welled up in Pi’s mouth, but he bit his tongue. Normal day. Don’t blow up. “Listen I just… I just want the sorbet. Okay? It’s hot outside and I need something to cool off. I’ll buy it and then leave right away.”

The boar shook his head and grabbed the sorbet away from the clerk. “You’ll do no such thing. This is a nation of laws, and rules. I’m not going to let some giant monstrosity get away-”

Pi didn’t let the boar finish what he was saying. He’d tried to be civil, to be normal, but sometimes the only things a jerk could understand were his usual tactics. And so he picked the manager up in a single thick hand and ate him whole, gulping the boar along with his lemon-flavored treat. Pi’s mouth and throat opened plenty wide enough for the task; being a goo creature meant there was no fussing with making enough room. It was so quick the ferret clerk didn’t have time to react beyond a squeak of surprise. One second the boar was there, the next he wasn’t

“Ugh. Sorry about that. You’re probably gonna need a new manager. So, it was £2 for the sorbet, yeah?” Pi mumbled, pulling down on his shirt yet again. “Shoot, this shirt is gonna be even worse now with that extra mass… where’s the nearest clothing store?”

The ferret nodded his head and pointed down the street. Pi grunted, leaving change on the counter before lumbering away. He barely got to enjoy the sorbet by eating it whole like that. What a shame. Maybe he’d pick up the boar’s tusks and play with keeping that on his face for a while as a consolation prize. Later on, though. He could still try being normal today, and toy around with that at home.
