PROLOGUE

locations

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.

[They'll cross that bridge when they come to it. Hopefully they don't come to it.

He taps his pen against his paper a few times before adding:]

This isn't a wish
But can I have more writing paper

[begrimed]

Will you write bigger for me? It's hard to squint with one eye, you know.

[ Well more like just annoying. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He nods. That's a reasonable request, at least, and he makes his next reply somewhat bigger.]

If I have more paper I can afford to use more space

[begrimed]

Sure! Check the general store tomorrow.

[ Sometimes everyone can be reasonable. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[Amazing. He nods politely, though he's not going to write 'thank you' to a person who wants them to kill each other.]
