The clink of glasses, the clatter of utensils upon plates and the soft murmur of conversation flows smoothly in the warmly lit dining hall. It's a dinner party, a rather vivacious one at that, with the food flowing freely. Savory and sweet, regional specialties, refined and rustic, there's something for everyone. Omurice, chiffon cake, kimchi, sizzling porterhouse steaks—it might be more apt to call it a buffet than anything else.

Do buffets usually serve such a unique smorgasbord of food? And actually, weren't you doing something else? A free meal is usually a good thing but is anything truly free? Who are these people around you? And where exactly are you?

Whatever thoughts are racing through your mind, they're abruptly cut off by a note, high pitched G-sharp from a woodwind. All your senses return to you, though they won't tell you much. Maybe not all of them actually, if you're used to feats of heroic strength or manipulating reality or numerous other abilities. There is one clue at least, a heavy weighted paper beneath your plate, an embossed note rather than a list of courses.

"Enjoy yourselves. I'll come see you when you've had your fill. And don't try to dine and dash, huh? There's something I have—something I can do for you, after all. Besides, you've already agreed to the terms anyway!"

Welcome to your Fairy Tale.

[Suga had been writing a note, but after that comment he has to cross off what he was planning to start with and rewrite it.]

What do you t
Do you know many fairies

[purefuries]

Quite a few. I wouldn't call them capable of running a business.

[ rip gensokyo fairies, they're all leeroy jenkinses giving the rest a bad name ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Businesses are complicated

[He wouldn't want to say anything rude about fairies he doesn't know. They could be perfectly fine.]

[purefuries]

Yes, yes, ledgers and numbers, taking stock and writing letters to suppliers, all much too complicated for children who spend their days frolicking about and causing mischief.

[ there's a fond tone to her voice, but. still. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

Do you not know any adults

[That's mildly weird!]

[purefuries]

You mean to ask if I know adult fairies? In that case no, such a thing is impossible. Ah, locked eternally in youth and gaiety, spending one's days without a care for the greater ills of the world...as with human children, some are more mature than others, but as a whole, they are enduringly unfledged.

[ i'm so sorry suga ]

[gemuinemanagement]

OK
I don't know enough about fairies to say whether that's weird or not

[purefuries]

They certainly differ from culture to culture. I cannot say if they are the same, here.

[gemuinemanagement]

I'm more familiar with spirits personally
