PROLOGUE

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.

[laytorest]

Was she villainous because she had to attack people for their blood?

[libirdian]

Some of those Snow Whites were like that. Or that she was in fact plotting against her stepmother. I'm not really fond of those stories though.

[laytorest]

It does give a very different feel, doesn't it?

[libirdian]

Yes...what sort of story would you prefer?

[laytorest]

...One with a happy ending for everyone.

[libirdian]

...It'd be nice to see a story where the queen realizes the error of her ways. So she can sincerely make an effort to apologize to Snow White and atone.

[laytorest]

Yes, I think so too. Besides, isn't it strange that she was so worried about her looks anyway?

[libirdian]

It's not even important for ruling as a queen. She could easily get recognition for anything else, considering her powers.

[laytorest]

There's probably more important things to do if you're queen anyway, right?

[libirdian]

I agree. There's so many other actions she could've taken. Surely she didn't need to be the fairest in the land to be loved by the people.

[laytorest]

I guess the moral of the story is, jealousy can be scary?

[libirdian]

I guess that's something to live by, so that works.

[ It's a good point! ]
