Prologue
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.

...He's right. You should probably get more information before attacking him.

Honestly, if the “mastermind” is begging you to kill him, then that’s probably more of a reason not to.

He's also pretty sadistic, so I think he'd find enjoyment from seeing any of us try to fight him.

I'm not a fighter, either. Maybe that'll work in our favor when it comes to him.
[ ...With the others and the whole "killing" thing, though? Maybe not so much. ]

But it looks like the skydwellers (?) are both cautious and curious. So, he'll lend them a hand. ]

[It's a smooth line of logic, easily rattled off like he does this all the time -- maybe a bit of a violent contrast on its own to the rest of his airy demeanor in this realm, but it is a bit of a violently contrasting time, to be fair.
A half-smile, a little bit chagrined.]
At least, I hope things won't take a violent turn anyway.
