One moment ptolemy was just following msak__, the next he was tied to a velvet chair with the other in front of him, only a table with the same velvety fabric between them. The ambiance was set with some low lighting of lanterns and a candle on the table, he had fallen in the trap msak had make for him. He knew msak had made him a trap. Ptolemy himself had seen how it was made while he was watching msak, though he never saw... whatever all this extra stuff was.
"msak__" ptolemy started off questioning, actively resisting the chains that tied him to the velvet chair.
He was assured by the fact that he could always teleport out of it, but still who knows what this... strange man could do?
"Ptolemy" msak answered, cheerful (as always), looking at the entity "since we had our first kiss,
i tought a dinner date would be nice" msak shyly said having that smile on his face he always had with the entity around, a strange part of ptolemy loved that smile.
"...You didnt have to kidnap me to spend some time with me." Ptolemy muttered, looking around the bizarrely made mimicry of a restraurant made from acacia wood, most likely because it was the most accesible to the player, he spent so much effort-"What."msaks voice cut deep through his inner monolouge
"Nothing" ptolemy shot back, too quickly he sneaked a glance back to the other just to find them shocked, and face blushing, a cleared throat "Ah... okay then, anywhooo" msak dragged the word out, "what would you like to eat?" He asked anticapated, holding out the menu for the other to read
The menu only had two options ptolemy realised with a small snort.
-chicken(cooked,raw)
-Bread
The entity knew msak cooked food rather poorly, if he cooked it at all.
"So whaddya want to eat?" Msak asked almost confident the entity could eat at all,
"I will have the chicken thank you." Ptolemy said, he liked bread that msak made, a bit charred but still edible but he was curious to have the chicken as well.
"Waitress!" Called out the player, and seconds later a girl with an apron and a towel carried on her arm appeared, her rubber nose honked twice in greeting-"hold on who is this msak" Ptolemy said looking at the clown "A very special waitress of course!! could we get the chicken please moe?" msak replied turning to moe moe made a honking noise again before dissapearing to wherever the kitchen is in this place was. both the player and the entity sat at silence for a few seconds before msak spoke up "ptolemy, whats your favorite food? i know the menu didnt have much but, if it did what would you like to eat?" ptolemy tought for a moment before answering "I like berries. " "Really? Me too!" Their conversation dragged on, "I like cartoon villains." "i love Dr. Doofenshimrtz" "what is your favorite film, msak?" msak smiled as he replied "the best movie of all, a masterpiece of art called-"
Moe arrived with a tray of two dishes just in time to hear their conversation "Human centipede!" her mood falls as she sets the two plates on the table,
Ptolemy thinks, of course this weird man loves a movie like that.
Moe turns back and enters the kitchen again.
"Human centipede, not ironically?" ptolemy asks after an awkward silence
"The costume design was a highlight!" he chirps, already cutting his food to bite size pieces. Ptolemy looks at their own plate and sees an whole boiled,unseasoned,plain and white looking chicken. they takes their eyes off the food to raise an brow at msak for his questionable taste in costumes.
"I like it for the plot!" msak defends himself
"Tell me what the plot is about." ptolemy says, even more dryly than the unseasoned chicken
"German doctor sews three people ass to mouth" msak says casually while offering some chicken to the entity with his fork
"I admire the narrative" he adds.
ptolemy eats the chicken msak is feeding him, they really cant eat with the chains binding them after all nevermind the fact they could just easily break out, msak is already hand feeding them the unseasoned, terrible tasteless chicken, there is no need for them to make effort.
Ptolemy really wishes they could escape from this situation, and the bland chicken.(his stomach was only meant to consume souls, not two whole unseasoned plates of chicken)
out of the corner of their eye they see moe, and another person with a huge z on his shirt
they look intensely at the two untill both of them are staring at them, then in slow motions they blink in morse code to get their attention.
"why are you blinking so much?" msak asks already cutting another piece of chicken to feed ptolemy
"...ive got something in my eyes" Ptolemy excuses
"Here let me get it out" msak says holding out the knife in his hands to the entity unsubconciously
"No thank you msak." the entity says as the guy with a z plastered over his shirt comes to their table
"Bonjour, they were blinking at me, is it because your date is a creep?" z points at msak,
Ptolemy blinks, and says a very quiet "No"
"very good then, bon apetit" seeming content with their response z goes back to moe and his conversation
Msak sighs and his shoulders droop "are you not enjoying our date?" he says defeatedly
"Nooooo...." Ptolemy says dragging out the word "it's just. The chicken, it's terrible."
Msak who was bringing a piece of chicken to Ptolemys mouth freezes and retracts his hand
He snorts and smiles "yeah, I'd guess it is terrible. Sorry I was too caught in hand feeding you and staring at your face"
Ptolemy can feel their non-existent blood creep to their face, if they were alive they would be bright red.
Msak puts the fork down and gets up from his chair and approaches Ptolemy and takes the chains off the entity "let's go home" he says, taking his pickaxe out of his inventory and digging a hole out of the restuarant(trap) he made. He offers a small smile before offering his hand to Ptolemy
They take his hand and climb out the hole to the surface, it had been daytime when they first fell into the trap, it was now night with a considerable amount of monsters around Msaks house,
"Well, see you tomorrow?" Msak asks patching the hole on the ground "yes. See you tomorrow"
"Oh. One more thing" Msak gets up and turns towards the entity as Ptolemy plants a kiss onto their cheek.
"Good Night" and they disappear as msak stands there frozen.
