Greetings deviant-folk, :alien-two:

I have returned to this planet for yet another adventure. I apologize in advance for its length and its several complications. Such a random adventure as this one was brought together in a strange way through multiple coincidences. Read on! (If you dare… )

Day 2 – Hunger Goes Awry
Today I awoke with an incredible urge to try something new. I decided that instead of my daily diet of “Daily Deviation Crunch” and “Fab Fave Flavor Juice,” I would try “Random Devios” (much like Cheerios, except multiple colours, flavours, and shapes) I poured a hearty bowl and found this as the give-away prize. The title read “Bakon Kolor” by ~phoenixmentality . I opened the bag and found a jumping man in a chicken costume named ~Chebi . He offered me a strange concoction called “cc” which he said was “classy.” That might be true for some, but I agreed with :devthe-chocoloate-eater: who also disliked this strange drink. I was brought to a beautiful “winter” scene

I began to wonder why food was cropping up so coincidentally, (bacon, chicken, Coca-Cola, chocolate) after I found two other food-related friends named ~much-mushroom and ~Cometa-Guavaberry The former who had a comment from a certain named *TaNgeriNegreeN1986, another from named *PosiPlush, and a third from =PancakexWaffle . Guavaberry also hooked me up with some =jazzylemonade to wash this all down. After these strange coincidences, all I could really say was “Cheers!”

From here, I decided that I was severely trapped in my cereal bowl of “Random Devios” and conjectured that the only way out was to connect these seemingly random coincidences into a logical path towards home. I developed this six-step recipe for “Way Out”

Conclusion:
Traveling around deviantArt.com can become a very difficult and exhausting ordeal. Be very careful when trying to find your way home via six different routes. Also, be very careful in general. There is a lot of great stuff out there, but there be monsters too. (The exiting dA warning says that monsters exist outside of dA, but they fail to mention that there are plenty of dangers here as well.) But, that’s why brave little Martians are called upon to search the wide expanse, find the pitfalls, and most importantly: find a way home.

Adventures in Deviant Art was designed by ~Demodocus with the intention of bringing the dA community together in a way that was random, obscure, unexpected, and possibly delightful.

The above narrative is a dramiticization. I did not have actual conversations or encounters with these people and try to be curteous when I find them in my path. I do notify all of those whom I encounter.

Happy adventuring! Until next time ,

Marvin da Martian
