[b]Thaum: The Azure Sea[/b]
[i]"Syed, do you think it's...edible?"[/i]

Syed stepped as close to the tank as Moira would allow him, craning his neck. Unfortunately for him, she was too busy debating what kind of drinks the establishments might serve with Amy. She wasn't going anywhere. It left him in a bit of an awkward position where he was stranded around 4 or 5 feet from the tank, squinting his eyes as he tried to spot whatever Lucien was pointing at.

He squinted even harder when he just about caught sight of it. Even as it rested on the floor of the tank, it was fairly clear how the flesh seemed sort of... loose on it's somewhat disgusting pink and blobish body.

He burst out laughing. Whatever it was, it was one of the most bizarre, somewhat sorry looking things he'd ever seen. "What on Ddeaer is that?! It looks like an alien from some horrible toxic planet or something. An alien which has had a [i]really[/i] bad day." With his dorky grin still plastered on his face, he turned back to Lucien. "Who knows, I guess it must be if it's in a restaurant. I wouldn't want to try it though. Or touch it. In case it isn't, you kn-AH!"

"Fuckin' finally!"

Moira surged straight for the newly arrived buffet carts, completely oblivious to how she was once more dragging her partner along behind her. She piled her plate sky high of course - as to be expected of her really. But not before she made sure to '[i]top up[/i]' Lisette's plate with some more of the vegetarian foods too, not paying any attention to any of the poor archer's protests. She was never going to get any guys with no weight on her, and since the girl insisted on eating like a rabbit she'd probably have to eat much more to make up for it. She gave her a wink and a "trust me, darling," before helping herself for her own dish.

And once they sat down, it seemed they were intent on talking business. Moira paid no real attention to it, since it mostly went over her head anyway. Something about dreams and a demon and the same stuff she didn't really pay any attention to back in Abatheo. Instead she simply wolfed down her meal and gulped down at her drink, allowing the others to discuss whatever. Which right now, seemed to be about some guy called screw it she forgot already. Okay. Whatever.

Syed meanwhile rested an elbow in the table, his mind working overtime. "You make it sound so simple..." he murmured, mostly to himself. He had all sort of questions running through his mind - mostly wheres and whens, since the hows and whys were the whole reason they were accompanying Dr Dream to his research in the first place. Then there was the research itself on top of that. However...

"Yeah, it's probably best if we waited til everyone is here," he agreed, pushing his food around his plate. The thought of the state these people were found in - a fate worse than death, if they didn't die from hunger or lack of sleep anyway - kind of put him off his food a little. And he didn't need any help with that to begin with. 

He warily sniffed at the food on his fork, attempting and completely failing at being subtle about it. A bizarre sounding mission right from the get-go, but that was nothing particularly new for the Pride. Unfortunately.

Moira saw the opportunity and started stealing some of the food from his plate. And anybody else who was nearby and didn't guard their food well enough.
