For a somewhat fallen angel who was cast out of Paradise for his obsession with mankind, Shocker had been surprisingly passive in his observation of humanity. The infused knowledge afforded to an angel at their creation was vast, and in most cases, there was no better source of knowledge in Creation than an angel whose specific task you were interested in. As a Dominion, a member of the heavenly host meant to observe and safeguard humanity, Shocker believed his knowledge to be sufficient enough.
But, when he was cast out of Paradise and fell to Earth, he was admittedly about 2000 or so years behind on history and technological advancements. To catch himself up, he'd been utilizing one of humanity's greatest inventions... the Internet! Lord Metatron's merciful verdict of allowing his return after he proved himself worthy also included a small safety net. He needn't worry about housing himself, as a meager condominium had been provided by the church, along with a few modern amenities. Granted, he did almost starve himself to death more than once, as the need to actually eat was a foreign concept to him... both that and sleep, actually.
Nevertheless, he persisted in his study of humanity and their history until he was sufficiently satisfied with his knowledge... which meant that he had scoured just about every publicly available historical text he could find. Once his thirst for knowledge had been sated, Shocker came to the conclusion that he wouldn't be able to really connect with and understand the humans he loved so if he just stayed in his lodgings all the time.
So, in an effort to understand and interact with humans, Shocker did his best to play the part of a normal one doing normal human things. Going to an arcade sounded fun! He had yet to try the newly developed pastime of "video games", and arcades were apparently places full of them! Apparently, there were also more kinesthetic forms of entertainment as well, but those could be explored afterwards, he had to see what all the fuss was about!
"Let's see... I should have enough money to pay for the entrance fee, and this place also offers prizes depending on how well you perform at games. I hope I ate enough food for today, I'd hate to interrupt my learning time by needing to eat."
Another thing about human life that has so far evaded the angel boy is that humans don't stockpile as many calories as possible whenever they can. He's pretty much emptied his entire fridge and pantry multiple times over, thinking that he won't have to eat for at least a month afterwards. Yet, inevitably, he always ends up hungry again, leading to more eating since that obviously wasn't enough. That was how the blonde haired lad had gone from trim and fit upon his fall from Paradise, to well over 400lbs at the current moment. While not dense enough to cast aside clothes entirely, his choice of dress was... well, to put it bluntly, meant for a man less than half his size. To most, the shirt tight against his torso, hugging every curve, roll, and fold and failing to cover his belly completely would be immodest, and some may even say repulsive. The less said about his once baggy shorts turned into bootyshorts by the enormous swell of his hips, ass, and thighs, the better.
"Ah, no matter, this place is said to possess the capabilities to produce food autonomously. I believe the website said they offered a dish called pizza. To understand humans better, I must live the same as them, even eat the same as them. Today shall surely be an enlightening experience, of that I am sure! Now, once I step through these doors, games galore will be ha-"
As soon as the oblivious angel boy crossed the threshold of this arcade, his blood ran cold while his heart skipped a beat. A nervous, cold sweat broke out on his brow, and his newly gained fight or flight instinct was kicking in. The moment he stepped inside, he was assaulted by a terrifying presence of overwhelming magical power. Even with his powers as an angel severely diminished, Shocker was no defenseless dove, but currently... he felt like an ant gazing upon the vast majesty of an elephant in its entirety.
"W-What... is this place?"
Was the Morningstar residing here? No, no, there was definitely a noticeable stench of sin, yet not infernal. Another god or their agent? N-No, surely he would have been notified if there had been any other divinities or their subordinates within the area. The most confusing part about all of this was that whatever aura was filling him with dread felt... human. Not entirely, mind you, but still enough to warrant significant confusion and concern. Slooooowly turning his head towards where this terrifying presence felt strongest, Shocker would see a head of vibrant, orange hair... with a pair of ears flicking atop it, and strangely enough, turned towards his direction...
