###&%%\«.¨ IT ALL BEGAN A THOUSAND YEARS AGO IN ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ LIKE THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. A DARK ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ FIGURE EMERGED FROM A TAVERN AFTER A ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ FEW YEARS APPRENTICESHIP, WITH AN IDEA. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ IT WAS ILLEGAL TO SELL FOOD IN THE ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ REGION FOR EVERYBODY EXCEPT THAT TAVERN. ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ BUT MARIGOLD DIDN'T CARE. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ SHE BEGAN PUTTING DRIED LIZARD MEAT ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ BETWEEN TWO BREAD SLICES, OPERATING OUT ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ OF A CART, NOT STAYING IN THE SAME ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ PLACE LONG. IN THE DAY SHE SLEPT, IN ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ THE EVE SHE SOLD HER WARES, AND IN THE ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ NIGHT SHE POACHED. ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ AFTER A FEW YEARS, MARIGOLDS FOOD CART ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ HAD A REPUTATION. SHE CALLED IT ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ .¨ THE GOLDEN M ¨. ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ AND PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT THE GOLDEN M. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ THE OLD TAVERN HAD THEIR MONOPOLY AND ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ DIDN'T CHANGE THEIR MENU MUCH. ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ MARIGOLDS SECRET LIZARD FOODCART WAS ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ NEW AND FRESH. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ HOWEVER, SHE BECAME A LITTLE TOO WELL ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ KNOWN. THE TAVERNS MEN HOT ON HER ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ TRAIL, SHE COULD STAY A SHORTER AND ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ SHORTER TIME IN EACH LOCATION. SHE FELT ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ HUNTED. AND SOON ENOUGH THERE CAME A ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ TIME WHEN THEY STARTED WATCHING FOR HER ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ AT THE GATES OF EVERY VILLAGE. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ SO SHE HID THE CART, AND DISAPPEARED, ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ FOREVER. ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ &&& \ &&& ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ AFTER THIRTY YEARS, A MAN NAMED ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ NICHOLAS FOUND THE CART. HE WAS A ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ CURSED ENTREPRENEUR (THEY ALL ARE ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ (CURSED, I MEAN)) AND AS SUCH HE OF ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ COURSE THOUGHT IT A GOOD IDEA TO FOLLOW ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ IN MARIGOLDS FOODSTEPS. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ HE WASN'T ALL THAT OF A COOK, AND EVEN ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ THOUGH SOME RECOGNIZED THE GOLDEN M, HE ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ QUICKLY FELL INTO INFAMITY. HOWEVER HE ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ WAS KIND OF A HARDHAT AND DIDN'T STOP ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ TRYING. THE TAVERN DIDN'T CARE FOR HIM ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ SINCE NOBODY BOUGHT HIS FOOD ANYWAY ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ (AND ALSO THEY HAD EXPANDED TOO ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ QUICKLY, SUCCUMBED TO CORRUPTION, AND ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ WAS IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING APART). ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ ANGRY AT EVERYONE FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ HIS FOOD, HE VOWED TO LEAVE ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ KIRUGU VARGIR ENTIERLY. ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ WHICH HE DID. ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ && \ && ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ WE DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT HOW HE TRAVELED ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ OR WHERE, BUT EVENTUALLY HE ENDED UP ON ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ EARTH IN THE FIFTIES. ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ UPON FINDING OUT THAT EARTH HOLDS NO ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ EDIBLE LIZARDS, HE SETTLED FOR COW MEAT ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ INSTEAD, AND TO HIS JOY, THE EARTH FOLK ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ LIKED IT! ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ THEN HE GOT SCAMMED OUT OF THE CART BY ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ A MAN NAMED MICKEY MAC DONALDS, WHO ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ RENAMED THE BUSINESS AFTER HIMSELF. ¨¨.«\%%&##
#&%%\«.¨¨¨ WHILE NICHOLAS QUICKLY PERISHED, MICKEY ¨¨¨.«\%%&#
##&%%\«.¨¨ FUNNELED HIS INHERITED BILLIONS INTO ¨¨.«\%%&##
###&%%\«.¨ THE PROJECT, AND QUICKLY EXPANDED ALL ¨.«\%%&###
##&%%\«.¨¨ OVER THE PLANET. ¨¨.«\%%&##
