The Cafeteria may be dirty and decrepit, but it still gives out decent food. At times the meal quality varies, depending on whether or not you are liked or whether the chef chosen for that week is actually good. Beware, there are quiet a few cannibals in the Cooking Department and they are not afraid of serving body parts of other inmates.

Shard and Puck went down the elevators to a new part of the Asylum Shard had not yet seen: the Cafeteria. Just as dingy as the rest of the place, it was swarming with inmates trying to grab breakfast (the choice of words came to mind after he saw a bugman flitter by). He grabbed a tray and headed for the small line. Shard didn't care in the slightest what they were serving, he was sure to eat it all no matter the quality.
"Give me as much as you can, good chef!" he grinned. The chef blinked back with all one hundred of his eyes, not returning the charisma.

The second the doors opened Meela ran into the Cafeteria, grabbing a tray and hopping in line right behind Shard and Puck.
"Hey, you boys forgetting someone? I thought we were in this together, assholes!" She glared particularly at Puck, but playfully bopped Shard with her empty tray. She couldn't exactly stay mad at her bodyguard, that'd be bad form! The stench of onions and grease hit her nose. "Aaaaah, smells just like the military barracks! Looks like I'm in for a treat today!"

"In what together, exactly?" Puck looked at the Meela with a raised brow. If she thought they were part of some kind fo team, then she really was a fool. "Whatever, give me some grub lunchman! What's in the menu for today?" Puck said happily. The goblin inmate placed a slop of red meat onto Puck's plate, "Some red meat from the bottom of the Asylum, as always." The goblin mumbled.
"So more 'mystery' meat, huh? Sweet, maybe I can recognize the flavor!" Puck said excitedly as he continued down the line for the side dishes.

"I just meant that we're in the same cell block, sheesh..." Meela muttered, falling into line behind the boys. The goblin glared at her, dropping another slab of meat onto her dish. "Eh, well this crap can't be any worse than the gruel I got back at the base. Say, Puck, how long do they expect us to work?"

"Depends on the guard watching over you, Mee," Puck responded as he got a few pieces of Devil Monkey meat. "In your case, the guard will let you go when they think the bathroom is spotless. Of course it really depends on their mood, y'know? Pray that you get a guard that will let you go by noon. Those who get the pissy guards usually don't usually get off shift until midnight. I feel more sorry for you, Shard, buddy. From what I've heard, disposer's one of the worst jobs out there. Mainly because you can't un-see certain things. Ooooo- Kraken Chips! DIBS!"
"Hey, don't go stuffing your sandy hands in the food you jackass!" yelled one of the inmates on Cafeteria duty. Puck simply ignored those yelling at him and made his way to an open table.
(Yeah, so basically I'll be the one making the guards in charge of your character's shifts. Better hope I'll be in a good mood! \(^_^)/ )

"Makes sense I guess. As long as my guard doesn't decide my tail would make a good scrubbing brush, I'll be fine." Meela grinned, snagging a few of what looked like onion rings, as well as a few other nameless pieces of fried... stuff. Everything in the bathrooms should ideally be either metal or ceramic. That increases my chance of finding some usable material by at least 40%, and the chance of finding something that I can make into a tool by 70%. Looks like I may be able to salvage this day after all. She followed Puck to the table, plopping down in a seat. However, the table was at the same level of her eyes...
"Hey, um, anyone got a booster seat?"

Shard followed the both of them to the table after having grabbed a significant portion of meat, along with some interesting mush of what was claimed to be sweet potatoes and another side of...well it was orange colored.
"I figured as much," he replied to Puck as he took a large bite, declining to use utensils. Ever since he figured out that he'd have such a disgusting job, he's just been preparing himself mentally. After all, he's seen shit too, mostly caused by his own hand. "But I don't get guards right? I just get the nurses that work the operations. Do you think they'll treat me any better when I have to go back for a check-up?" He took another large mouthful, trying not to laugh at Meela's conundrum.

"Ha- that's a good question actually. I don't know man, maybe if you get the nurses to like you, they'll help you out. That's the key to getting a good doc around here actually, be nice to the nurses. They come by to do in-cell check ups once every few weeks." Puck explained before he stuffed some meat into his mouth, clearly enjoying the flavor. "Mmmmm...." Puck swirled the meat around in his mouth to try and pinpoint where it came from, "Taste like...Tanuki I believe" Puck swallowed, "Creatures from the East- fellows are said to be lucky, and boy are they lucky. Their coconuts are HUGE. Seriously, those things can kill you...I'm hoping that's not what they're giving us." Shrugging it off, Puck continued eating.
Fun Fact: Enlarged testicles are one of the eight lucky trademarks of a Tanuki, and they're said to bring financial luck!

Midori stood like a statue in the elevator, anxious to leave even when it stopped and every one else left. She took the time to look over the metal box. Because of her freak out yesterday, she didn't notice how large it was. The elevator was 10 ft by 10ft and very tall. Unfortunately it was also very dirty and you could pinpoint stains here and there. "H-how is it even possible to build something like this?"
"Hey, kimono, are you leaving or are you just gonna stand there!?" yelled one guard standing by the doors, causing Midori to flinch a little before running out with a high pitched "I'm sorry!"
The cafeteria was a very familiar place. The memory of that thing coming out and stealing food was still fresh, and Midori felt like running back to her cell. But she knew she couldn't- she needed to eat something. 'It's been almost four days since I last had a meal...I wonder if they serve any leeks...' Midori thought as she made it to the line and peeked over the trays of food ahead of her. She could feel her bun rustling again, prompting Midori to reach behind her and hold it down. "I get it- I get it, you're hungry! Please stop doing that!" Midori begged. A second later, she realized what she had said and proceeded to cover her face in her hands. "I just talked to my hair. I can't believe I just talked to my hair!"
"Um, miss, the line's moving."
"Oh- I'm sorry!"
As Midori moved forward and took tray like everyone else, she chose to forget what just happened. She even tried her best to ignore how her hair was trying to undo itself. 'Ignore it...Ignore it...It is not bothering me...I must think of something else...I wonder if I'll meet Miss Lilli again today? And yesterday I saw another girl in a kimono. If I meet her...Maybe we could help each other get out...'

Meela rolled her eyes. "Well that's just dee-lish, roasted Tanuki balls on toast then! And since I guess I don't have a booster seat, I'll just be using one of you! Hope ya don't mind, Pucky boy!" She grabbed her plate, hopping over onto the Sandman's lap and plopping down.
"Hey, sitting on you's kinda like sitting on a bean-bag chair! Oh and Shard, I'll get some designs done for your you-know-whats after I'm done working, sound good?" She looked around as she started stuffing her face, not caring about her manners. A few different creatures were alien to her, but one in particular caught her eye.
"Say, what's that critter over there? The girl in the-- oh what're those things called again? Keemonis or something?"

"Sounds great!" Shard said as loudly as usual. "I mean, we should keep this on the down low. Like lower than the Pit low. Don't want anything getting in the way all unexpected-like." He looked over to where Meela was pointing.
"Mmm, can't say I know her...It's a kimono though, if my travelling meant anything."

Meela facepalmed. "Um, Shard? Buddy? We reeeeaaaallly need to work on your indoor voice. Oh, and that kimi--keema-- whatever is some Eastern outfit, right? Hm, wonder if she's related to my ice queen of a roomie?" She stretched, her belly nice and full. She stared up at Puck, an evil grin spreading across her face. "Say, Pucky boy? Any chance you could maybe help me clean those pipes so I can have more time to explore? Maybe I'll end up being more popular here than you are!"

"What you guys looking at?" Puck asked, following the direction of his friends' eyes. His eyes widened as he saw a green-skinned demoness with green hair in a bun and wearing a pink kimono. "Is that her?" Puck asked out loud, recalling what he and Lilliana talked about last night. 'The two-mouthed chick...I don't see a second mouth though...She seems too...Plain to be here, even for a Rotten.'

'Everything looks so strange....' thought Midori as she looked over the trays of food. 'The food here is nothing like what they serve in my hometown...Is meat supposed to be that color?' Midori was about to reach for the serving spoon to get some, but flinched when she saw the pile of meat move by itself. "Never mind!" Moving down further, Midori happened to come across a few vegetables that looked appealing- though she didn't think they were properly washed.
"They don't serve rice here...Oh, is that fish?" Midori was about to reach for a piece of fried fish from a tray, only for a swamp man to grab it before her. "Sorry, toots, but this fella's mine today!" The swamp man laugh as he placed the fish on his already filled tray. Midori wanted to yell at him for being rude, but the swamp creature was nearly twice her size. "I-It's okay...." Midori mumbled as she took her tray and walked away as fast as she could.
Unknown to her, a long lock of her hair was tugging itself out of its bun, and when it got itself free, it reach over to the swamp monster and took back the fish from his tray. "What the hell!?" The swamp monster looked at the hair, "Hey, vege-head!"
Midori turned around, "Y-yes?" Her eyes widened in fear as she saw her hair holding onto the fish. "Oh no, not again!"
"Now I remember you, you're that Two-Mouthed chick who took the fish from that Siren from Block D! You got a lot of guts taking on a Corrupted. But you don't mess with someone from the Pit either!" The swamp monster was about to grab the hair with the fish but was too slow. "No! Give it back and put it down!" Midori shouted, not too sure who she was talking to.
"Why you little bitch, you're playing with me, aren't you!?"
"N-no, I'm not! I-I just-"
"I won't let some Rotten make a fool out of me!" The swamp man quickly approached the young demon and was about to slam his fist down on her. "N-no, don't hit me!" Midori knelt down the the ground, dropping her tray and covering her head.
