Prologue

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.

At least throw a punch? What are you wearing all that armor for, or do you really just get into slapfighting contests to solve everything?

[ now he sounds disappointed!?!? god lucifer. ]

[oversaw]

My intention was to test your response, not cause harm. Would you have reacted differently to a punch?

[ weird reaction tho, just sayin'. must be belial 2.0 ]

[begrimed]

I'd be less disappointed, for one.

[ actually just belial 2.0 ]

[oversaw]

[ definitely sounds like belial 2.0 ]

In other words, you enjoy battle. I take it that means we're free to challenge you whenever we wish?

[begrimed]

I do, doesn't any man? But yeah, challenge me whenever you want. Don't think I'll just give you your weapons and stuff back though, the field's gotta stay even for the story.

[oversaw]

I wouldn't expect someone who stripped another of their power to return it freely. [ not even for the sake of a fair fight. ]

What of you, then? If your capabilities are higher than ours, won't you find the battle boring?

[begrimed]

At this point? I should find a lotta things boring.

[ Whatever that means. ]

As long as it's an actual fight? It won't be.

[oversaw]

[ ah. ]

I'll give it some consideration, though I may come to you with more questions first.

[begrimed]

Suit yourself. But if you're gonna slap me again, do it like you mean it. Or I'll have to show you how it's done myself.

[ that is a really weird sentence but sometimes you just...get into slapping contests? maybe? ]
