Ding.
The glitter is gone. The walls are back to being a naturally unpainted grey. You are no longer covered in glitter.
Well, mostly. There’s still glitter glued into your scalp that will take a month to get out, and five years from now when you go to a doctor for an ear cleaning they’ll find glitter embedded into your earwax, but other than that you’re glitter free.
Meanwhile, the room is filled with the smell of pizza. You look behind you, and find the same plastic folding table from before (or so you presume). This time, the table has pizza on it!

That would explain the smell, yes.
There is also a jug of lemonade and a glass.
Time for lunch! Which do you choose?
It’s all fancy and artesian. They got bread, tomato sauce, and then instead of covering the sauce in cheese like a normal person, they were lazy and just layed a couple slices of mozzarella down. Top that with olives, mini tomatoes, and what I think are bell peppers? And you’d have a decent pizza if not for those weird green things.
I’d still try it. You never know.
Ok, this is just a pepperoni pizza. Someone threw eight olives and a couple lettuce leaves on it after it was baked, added five dollars to the price, and called it a day.
How fancy.
Yes, I know they have a real name, but come on. You know what I mean. It’s also got… Some? Herb on it. I’m mildly confident in my ability to name leaves, but this one has me drawing a blank. The ones further to the right look like boiled oak leaves, not gonna lie, but the ones to the left… Yep, I don’t know. If you do, go ahead and tell me.

Otherwise, this is just an artisanal cheese pizza with things added afterwards.
As far as cheese pizzas go, this one looks pretty good. It might just be the perspective, but it looks fairly deep-dish.
However, as you can see from how clean the cuts are, this thing is stone cold.
That’s ok. Nothing wrong with cold pizza. And you get a sun-dried mini tomato on it to make it “healthy”. Plus a leaf! ...Oregano? Basil? Something off the tree outside? Take your pick, cuz without smelling it, I don’t have a clue.
Come on, guys! Seriously? You’re supposed to put the toppings on before you bake it, this is Pizza 101!!!
Also, what is the deal with putting giant leaves on a pizza? Like, I’m fairly certain that these leaves are basil, but still, why??? I tried it once, I really wanted to enjoy it, but it was just… Why not chop it up, so you get a proper amount of basil in each bite, instead of one bite which is nothing but basil, then the rest is more or less flavorless? I take issue with whole leaves on pizza idea! People may riot against pineapple, anchovies, or bananas, but I! I WILL REVOLT AGAINST LEAVES!!!!
Altho, this looks like the only vegan-friendly one, so there is that going for it. And fresh mushrooms are nice. The olives are straight-up going to roll off instantly, tho.
This is the exact same pizza as the earlier pepperoni one, just sans leaves and olives.
Still, can’t go wrong with a basic pepperoni.
Enjoy.
Unless you’re vegan, vegetarian, or Jewish. In which case… Yeah, I guess there is something wrong with basic pepperoni.
Never thought about that. You poor souls, how do you survive without being able to eat the cheapest of pizzas?
Finally! A proper pizza!

It looks vegetarian, with mini tomatoes, mushrooms, red onion? green olives, and red bell peppers, all on the base of cheese and tomato sauce. Granted, the peppers aren’t baked in, but I will accept that, because they’d add a nice crunch to the pizza, which would complement the crunch of the crust.
Personally, this is the pizza I’d go for, even if green olives are super salty.
See, I know some leaves. I don’t know why you’d want to eat a whole sprig of rosemary at once, but on this pizza they decided you’d do it and like it.
Rosemary aside (which, let me be clear, I don’t mind in pizza sauce. It’s the fact that it’s sitting on top in a whole friggin’ sprig that I mind) this looks like a decent pizza. Tomatoes, olives, onions… Zucchini? I’ve had zucchini on a pizza before and didn’t mind it. I don’t see any meat, but it looks like the cheese was put on top of certain other things (which I find perfectly acceptable), so maybe they have ham or something under there. Which would be good. If not, I have zero issues with vegetarian pizzas.
I spent some time staring intently at that image, and I’m pretty sure it isn’t white sauce. Unless they put red sauce and white sauce on the same pizza. In which case, why. But then, I also question the leaves, so I have several why’s for this pizza.
Double cheese is… fine… but it’s kinda boring. If you like it, more power to ya, but I like my pizza “kitchen sink” style.
Yep.
Also, what even are those leaves???
You eat. You drink. You enjoy your lunch.
And now…

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
