<span class="mu-s">"You get. One. Chance. That's all."</span> Beerus coldly declared.
The Blubbieran put both hands together and bowed, and then began walking backwards, beckoning his godly guest forward. Beerus followed, hissing at the frigid weather and landscape as he was brought into a big igloo by the host. Once inside, he saw... well, it looked like cooking appliances but it was all also ice. There was a pot on a stove that had been steaming something. And to the side, there were discarded and broken white shells of something crabby... The Blubbieran representative motioned Beerus to a meal set out on the ice table.
Before him was a row of these.... things. They looked like ice pops or something. White and red. It was ice cold. Then, there was a massive bowl that could have fit a watermelon full of something that looked like shaved ice. It was bright green and purple. Last but not least, there was a plate with snow on it. Literal snow. It can't be made up, but at least it was drowning in something sticky hardening as it chilled on top of it, like a thick syrup or taffy.
<span class="mu-s">"This looks awful."</span>
"Mmmmm!"
The Blubbieran flinched at his words.
<span class="mu-s">"For your planet's sake, this better at least have taste that beats its aesthetic."</span>
Without further ado, Beerus lifted his hand, to have a spoon placed in it by Whis, before he leaned forward and scooped the top off the shaved Blubbieran ice. He put the green and purple substance in his mouth.
<span class="mu-s">"PLUEGH!"</span>
And spit it out.
<span class="mu-s">"This tastes like cough medicine!"</span>
"Hm! HM HM HM! Hm hm hm hm hmhmmhmhmmmm hmm mmm mm... hmmmm!"
<span class="mu-i">"That is our flavored ice ball. It uses our planet's native cloudberries which we squeeze it into as flavoring."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"And it's awful as it looked!"</span> Beerus said before he crunched into and scooped up a piece of the frozen taffy to eat; <span class="mu-s">"...Hm. This on the other hand is decent."</span>
"Hm hm hmm hm hmm. Hm hm hm. Hmmm. Hmm hm hmm, mmm hmm mmmm hmhmhm."
<span class="mu-i">"The honey of a Blubbieran Winter Bee, which is a gigantic creature, harvested from its honeycombs and frozen semi-solid."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"And now what's this?"</span> Beerus asked as he picked up one of the pops.
He licked it, savoring the taste on his tongue that he swished.
<span class="mu-s">"It's kind of salty. It's not offensive but it's very plain."</span>
"Hm hm hm! Hm hm hm hm, hmmm mmm hmm hmmmhmmmhmmm, hmhhmhm, hmmm mmmmm. Mmmm! MMM! MMMM! MMMMMMM!"
<span class="mu-i">"Oh my..."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"I don't like that "oh my" much..."</span>
<span class="mu-i">"Our planet is home to a species of snow crab. Once properly steamed, the meat is then shaped up and wrapped by its smoother layers and frozen onto sticks. BEHOLD! OUR TASTY CRAB POPS!"</span>
Beerus stopped himself in his tracks from taking another lick.
<span class="mu-s">"You waste perfectly good crab meat cooking it, only to then refreeze it and fashion it into this horrendous looking salty thing?"</span>
The Blubbieran averted his gaze to the floor, scratching the back of his head. He just nodded slowly, a painful look in his eyes.
