Hopper1, Houtaro, etc. | Kamen Rider Gotchard

Even in an entirely new planet, Utsubocchama had expected things to be the same: Ojilacanth and Pakuraptor would be mainly interested in each other, and their respective pairs were left mostly to themselves.

Which mostly worked out, she had to admit; she could be quite the greedy mole-rat herself when it came to having a hoard. Still, she wanted to share sometimes, too!

She just wasn't sure who with.

There was a lot to this new world, it turned out - some parts of the fundamentals of ecosystem were there already, siphoned away or copied from Earth's own. Others had functions entirely replicated by alchemy instead of biochemistry.

(Plate tectonics were at a minimum, surprisingly. That was one of the features of Japan Utsubocchama would not miss.)

Careful poking around (or simply reckless exploration) often meant a Chemy was spoiled for choice on what to try next. Whether it was actual work in making practical solutions to Earth's problems, or just unleashing a cool elemental move at full strength without the Alchemist Union trying to kill the mood, there was always something to do, especially if one just asked.

Today's wandering had yielded one question: "Why avocados?"

There it was: an entire grove of the short-trunked trees, a good kilometer or so of acreage filling the horizon. How someone had measured out this much land, Utsubocchama would never know.

Keeping an olfactory node out for any oncomers, she went over and poked a tree. Sure enough, another Chemy popped out - not of that particular tree, but one right nearby.

'This yours?' she asked, sizing up if these fruits were even ripe yet.

Timelord nodded, tipping their hat back into place from the leap to the ground.

'If you behave, I'm willing to share.'

Utsobucchama shrugged. 'Sure! But... why avocados?'

'I just think they're neat.'
