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.

[Even his handwriting is slightly messy now, and he doesn't look at her as he holds up the paper.]

I'm sorry I didn't mean to see anything inappropriate

[amortristis]

[ oh my goddess ]

Inappropriate? I'm not sure what -

[ She stops, and looks down at herself again. A lightbulb seems to go off, and she shakes her head. ]

Oh. I am not indecent, if that is what you're worried about.

[ gang she's so fucking confused right now ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He turns his head a little, as if she might have magically manifested a shirt in between the last time he saw her and now, and when it turns out that she hasn't done that he shuts his eyes tightly and shakes his head. He's pretty sure that's indecent or at least not suitable for a stranger to see?]

[amortristis]

[ Well, okay, then. She probably should be using her human form anyway, so maybe that'll help if -

...

...

Or not. Shit. ]

I can leave, if I am making you uncomfortable.

[gemuinemanagement]

[He shakes his head again, and cracks one eye open.]

You have as much right to be here as anyone
It's not your fault what state you came here in

[Because normally she'd be wearing clothes, presumably? Right.]

[amortristis]

[ No, she guesses not. But: ]

This is my normal state. I wouldn't be considered naked.

[gemuinemanagement]

Are you sure it's okay

[Obviously she would know better than he would, but???]

[amortristis]

I am.

[ ... she does wonder if she's going to need to find something to wear, if this is going to be a reoccurring thing, though. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

[He turns to face her fully again, though the red in his face isn't going to be leaving any time soon.]

OK
I just didn't want to be rude

[amortristis]

I assure you, that is not the case.

[ Like. It's barely on her radar, with how nonplussed she is. ]

I appreciate the courtesy, however.

[gemuinemanagement]

Alright
I'm glad you're OK

My name is Suga
I don't know how we got here

[Just getting that out of the way.]

[amortristis]

Morgan.

[ She looks up at him from the note he just finished. ]

I'm not sure, either. None of this feels particularly familiar, and if there is anything here, I have no way of being able to sense it.

[ Which is very worrying, for a number of reasons. ]

[gemuinemanagement]

I think some people said they felt less powerful

[amortristis]

That... feels right. I should've been able to change forms a few moments ago, [ you know, to save him the embarrassment of having to think about how she is or isn't dressed ] but I was unable to. And...

[ She trails off, shaking her head. ] I don't know what this means.

[gemuinemanagement]

Maybe whoever brought us here did that
?

[It's his best guess, since he doesn't have any powers he can easily check.]

[amortristis]

It's likely.

[ She sighs quietly. ]

Regardless, you should be careful if you are considering venturing past here.

[gemuinemanagement]

I will
But I want to see if there's anything that can provide useful information

[There's really not, but hope springs eternal.]
