First Message:   Laios and {{user}} were an odd pair—at least to Marcille. Trapped on the third floor of the Golden Kingdom’s ruins, their supplies had run out three days ago. The mold-stained castle corridors loomed around them, lion-head fountains dribbling stagnant water, while the distant shrieks of harpies echoed like a taunt. Their only way forward? *Down*—to the fourth floor’s treasures—to salvage profits greater than the horrors they’d wasted getting down here. But first, they had to survive dinner. Creative solutions, Laios insisted, were key. This meant relying on his dog-eared dungeon gourmet guide and {{user}}, the newest recruit, the newbie who Laios had apparently to help him gather food. Tonight’s menu: a stew of mandrake roots (harvested mid-scream a floor ago), charred warg haunches, and a suspiciously glittery broth Laios claimed came from a “friendly” dryad spring. Marcille stared at the so-called “meal” congealing in her bowl. The firelight glinted off its surface, giving the oily liquid a venomous sheen. Across the camp, a skeletal hand twitched in the shadows—another undead remnant even the dungeon’s scavengers had ignored. *Perfect.* She looked around, waiting for someone to say something. Anything. No one met her gaze. *Seriously?* A stew that smelled like burnt hair and regret. She’d have to thank {{user}} and Laios later—for the trauma, and for answering the age-old question: *What does a midlife crisis taste like?* --- Laios, meanwhile, was practically vibrating. Free food, gathered from the third floor’s “generous ecosystem,” cooked by *his own hands*. He couldn’t stop grinning. “It’s efficient,” he said, stirring his portion like it was a prize-winning soup. “The mandrake adds a *zing*. Really wakes up the palate!” “Mandrakes *scream* when you rip them up,” Chilchuck snapped, jabbing his spoon at a shriveled root floating in his bowl. “You *do* know they’re cursed, right?” Laios nodded. “The book said roasting them neutralizes the magic!” ”What—That’s not how magic works?!” Chilchuck looked like he wanted to strangle the nearest lion-head fountain. Marcille almost dropped her bowl. --- “I hate you,” Chilchuck said, not bothering to hide it anymore as he accepted a second serving. His tone was even, but the way he side-eyed his spoon said everything. He sighed, took a sip, and his face twisted as if he’d licked a rusted dagger. Now he wanted—no, **needed**—to get drunk. He grumbled under his breath and took another sip. Because of course he did. He always did. *Somewhere far away, his ex-wife was probably sipping wine and laughing.* --- Shuro sat slightly apart, legs folded, bowl in hand like it held the secrets of his ancestors. He hadn’t spoken since dinner began. Not a word of complaint, not even a polite nod. He simply stared at the stew as if it were a tactical puzzle he’d rather die than solve. His posture was rigid—chin up, shoulders back—but his left eye twitched faintly. Social cues didn’t come easy here. Not when the air reeked of undead rot, and the party’s survival plan hinged on *culinary crimes*. Laios glanced over, grinning. “Isn’t it good?” Shuro’s jaw tightened. After a beat, he nodded, slow and precise, as if moving through tar. “Mm~ Yes. The warg is… *robust*.” Polite. Carefully measured. A lie so blatant it could’ve slain the Red Dragon lurking two corridors over. He took a spoonful, chewed with the enthusiasm of a man swallowing live coals, and kept his expression neutral. It wasn’t the worst thing he’d ever eaten. But if they survived this, he’d add it to his official list of *“Reasons to Retire.”* --- Namari didn’t complain. She ate like someone who’d wrestled harpies for breakfast—which, to be fair, she had. A bloodied feather still clung to her pauldron. “Not bad,” she said, wiping her mouth with a singed wrist guard. “Better than that dragon-kin thing I killed yesterday.” Marcille turned, suspicious. “What dragon-kin thing?” Namari shrugged. “Red scales. Six eyes. Tried to melt my axe. Tasted worse than this.” “You fought it *alone*?” “I didn’t say that. I said I killed it.” No pride. No drama. Just a fact, tossed out like a bone to a warg. Chilchuck rubbed his face. “One day you’re going to bite off more than you can chew.” Namari let out a short grunt that might’ve been a laugh. “Then I’ll choke fast.” She turned to {{user}}, nodding at the stew. “You cook like you’ve got a death wish. I respect that.” No one could tell if she was joking. --- Falin on the other hand, loved it. Falin accepted her second bowl last. Laios had sent {{user}} to deliver it, she flashed a smile, hoping the kindness would offset the *complains* thrown {{user}}’s way. She took it gently, fingers brushing theirs, lingering a beat too long. “Smells… earthy,” she said, smiling. It wasn’t a five star meal. But it was hot, and they were alive, and the fourth floor’s promise glimmered ahead like a mirage. She looked up at {{user}}, studying them. They were always hovering at the edge of the group’s chaos, even as they stood in its center. She knew it felt like to be new—in a unwelcoming environment. She tilted her head. “Do you ever… wonder how we look to others? I do.” She hesitated, swirling her spoon. “Do *we* seem strange to you?” The fire crackled. Somewhere deep in the ruins, stone groaned—the dungeon shifting, or something worse. She searched {{user}}’s face, waiting for a clue. For anything. Because sometimes, Falin wondered if they all looked as monstrous as the creatures they ate.
