EVENTS:

The party sits, though only Klimt starts eating. Maids bring Emilia and Curie back as well, offering them all manner of treats and drinks. Emilia simply looks weirded out, but Curie begins chomping down with gusto.

Désirée sits at the end of the table opposite to them, lit from behind by the paper lanterns. She grabs a large rib and starts chowing down on it, breaking through the stiff bones in a single bite, while geishas wipe the blood off her body with wet towels. Her torso seems to have already healed, with barely a scar visible, and a new arm is growing off her stump.

Désirée: "What's the problem, dears? Afraid it might be poisoned?"

She opens her mouth wide, then allows her maids to feed her several dumplings.

Désirée: "As you can see, it's perfectly safe. And delicious. Don't forget your half of the agreement~"



Klimt... Isn't sure. A large portion of the food seems to be Flesh, but he's not feeling any ill effects so far.

EVENTS:


Klimt continues to eat. He starts feeling... Something, unusual. A sort of, contentment, a desire to stay, to enjoy dinner and forget about his troubles-

He grits his teeth as his tentacles burrow into his shoulder, snapping him back to reality. This was... A trick, a ploy of some sort. He had to stay strong.


Curie looks at Rosa like she'd just told her to jump off a bridge, but eventually pauses and nods. She slows down a bit, occasionally refusing the maids when they offer her a particularly large piece of meat.

The sharkgirl, on the other hand... The dishes are juicy, smelling of blood and spice. Before she knows it, she's paying little attention to anything else, and just scarfing down all the meat she can reach.


Désirée: "We're only missing you and Emilia now, Eigla dear. You certainly wouldn't want your friends' efforts to be in vain, would you?"
