[Day 14] Cafeteria (Breakfast Shift)

[mazoku_king]

Cloud hadn't been in his cell when he'd looked. The findings had left him with a feeling of unease as Yuuri eventually been dragged away from his cell block and towards the cafeteria. He'd lost sight of everyone else after they'd quickly buried Wolfram, and try as he might not to worry, Yuuri couldn't help but feel the feeling of fear tightening

The shower time had been useful merely to the extent of re-hydrating his body. What subtle pangs of thirst his body had craved no longer nudged at the back of his mind as the Protoss warrior began making his way into the cafeteria.

His large form continued to stand high above all others as he walked passed them all. Heading over to move along the outskirts of the large room, Tassadar quietly observed the others around him.

[A Templar up for grabs~]

[seconddarkest]

The young blond in pink had a light spring in his step as he entered the cafeteria. He felt hungry but the smell in here was less than appetising. He made a face and scanned the room, his eyebrows raising at seeing the imposing form of Tassadar.

It was clear he was unafraid as he approached him, blatantly staring with undisguised interest.

"And what exactly are you?" He questioned Tassadar very directly.

[aiursfavoredson]

There appeared to definitely be something affecting the balance here, but the templar could hardly find an answer to it. Things had been odd ever since the malfunction around their collars, and yet everything gave off the illusion of being normal. Tassadar, however, wasn't convinced, but he found himself distracted by his thoughts by the one approaching him.

'A lifeform like your own,' Tassadar murmured telepathically before his large form stepped around to face the young human, 'Curiosity such as yours is not one witnessed in humans upon sight of my kind.'

[seconddarkest]

Gellert let out a surprised but oddly still cheerful laugh at hearing the telepathy. "You have an interesting skill there...," he eyed Tassadar with a clearly intelligent gaze, despite the apparant flippantness of his manner.

He then gave a grand bow and grinned. "I am Gellert Grindelwald. And your name is?"

[aiursfavoredson]

The reaction drew nothing but a look of curiosity from the templar. He had yet to see others react in such a way, and he wasn't yet certain what to make of it. There was intelligence behind that gaze, and a sense of wisdom that seemed unfitting for the age this child appeared.

'I am Tassadar, High Templar for the Protoss race,' He murmured after a moment, 'You are new to the prison?'

[seconddarkest]

"Yes, I appeared here this morning although I don't remember setting this as my destination," there was another light laugh. "It's rather a gloomy group here, isn't it? Although I suppose that is to be expected."

He surveyed the room with his eyes before he turned their bright gaze again to Tassadar. "What can you tell me about this place?" The question seemed to be asked in seriousness, even though Gellert's voice remained light.

[aiursfavoredson]

He had feared as much. The Warden still found it entertaining to pull more from their worlds and times to this establishment, and it left the warrior displeased. He needed to put a stop to this before any further souls were brought here.

'While it appears to be a prison, this establishment is hardly what it appears,' The soft glow of psionic energy still emanated within his gaze as he regarded the child. Sometime still felt off about this one, but the templar simply placed it down to whatever world this child had come from. 'The days are filled with meaningless tasks, and by night they release us to roam the grounds along with the dark creatures they hold here.'

[seconddarkest]

"Dark creatures?" Gellert enquired, looking interested but there was some caution in his eyes.

"So it is not quite as it appears... That much must be true considering I haven't commited any...," he trailed off, pausing with a slight frown as a flurry of images suddenly flashed through his mind. He couldn't quite make sense of them and they were just a blur, but they were somehow unsettling. They cleared away as quickly as they had arrived and he shook his head, soon regaining his smile, though it took him a moment to remember what he'd been talking about.

But he didn't speak again just yet.

[aiursfavoredson]

'Creatures manipulated by science and what other methods they use here,' The templar murmured as he caught sight of the glint of interest. There appeared to be a keen mind hidden within behind such a young visage.

'True, most here haven't committed any form of crimes,' His words fell silent while he watched Gellert curiously. The odd expression didn't remain for long, but he had sensed the confusion within before it was pushed aside and the smile returned. He spoke nothing of it though, and merely continued to watch the other male thoughtfully, 'But whether one has committed such crimes or not matters not to those running this prison.'

[seconddarkest]

"Then this is something much more than a prison. Are you a complete innocent?" Gellert looked up, his eyes roaming a little over Tassadar's form, ever curious. "You certainly look as if you could cause some damage to others. Do you have any magical powers, besides the way you communicate?"

[aiursfavoredson]

'I've always found that things are never quite what they appear when humans are involved.' Tassadar murmured with an almost amused tone. While he knew well that their situation was hardly amusing, the templar had quite his fair share in dealings with unpredictable Terrans.

'Is anyone completely innocent, Gellert? What one may consider as innocent may not be seen in the same light by another.' The warrior thoughtfully said before he peered at the young human curiously. 'Magic?' He questioned before shaking his head and explaining, 'I suppose what you call magic, my race calls psionic energy.'

Tassadar fell thoughtfully quiet after he spoke, almost as if he was debating whether to divulge such information. In the end, however, the templar murmured, 'I hold abilities outside of telepathic communication,' He didn't elaborate any further though, and instead questioned, 'And of yourself?'

[seconddarkest]

"I'm a wizard," Gellert said at once, looking pleased with himself but then he patted his pink jumpsuit down and laughed. "But I appear to have mislaid my wand on my journey here..."

"Nevermind. It's not my sole source of power," he sounded a little smug and extended his arm, making a gesture with his hand toward the dishes of food. His smile quickly faded into a frown as he gestured again - and nothing happened.

"Hmph...," there must be some barriers here, he murmured, almost to himself.

[aiursfavoredson]

'I apologise, but I've naught heard of this 'wizard' term, you speak of.' Tassadar didn't under the 'wizard' term Gellert used - the same as this 'wand' he spoke of. Obviously it was a status within his society that was of high rank, and that much he could understand.

Watching when it appeared that Gillert was attempting to do something, the Protoss warrior observed quietly. Nothing happened, of course, and he wondered if this one was attempted to do whatever it was that these wizards did.

'If you were attempting to use any abilities, I'm afraid this prison seals them from us until nightfall.' The High Templar offered as his attention returned back to Gellert.

[seconddarkest]

"No magical powers until nightfall?" Gellert looked at Tassadar with a slight frown still marring his features. "Why does their power to hold us lessen after dark?"

[aiursfavoredson]

Tassadar shook his head at the question. 'Perhaps they simply find amusement in allowing us to believe we hold some manner of control,' While he only had his assumptions to work on, the templar held no doubt that it would be close to the truth. 'Whatever the reason, there is no doubt that they allow such a thing by choice.'

[seconddarkest]

"Intriguing...," Gellert looked thoughtfully around the room then down at his hands, which he flexed, then back to Tassadar again. "Has anyone told you why you have been sent here? Or do you already know? People have different coloured clothing... Why is that?"
