"BY HER MAJES-" he shouted, reeling back, nearly blasting Devon with the shotgun but halting himself from making the error, but not enough to keep himself on his feet. The attendant was sent to the floor, his little attendant hat skittering away from its master as Garrette struggled highhandedly to pry Devon off.
Despite the previous times when Devon had shown to not be the strongest of humans, his grip was now iron-tight, in fact it was a grip as tight as a fangirl's would be if she ever got a hold of say...her bishie. The more Devon hugged the struggling servant the more that fluttery feeling increased and so on until Garrette was probably struggling to breathe or probably just too busy screaming himself hoarse.
Her majesty was staring at the scene speechlessly while Ivan's sadistic humor had returned, "Wasn't expecting that were you asshole!? AHAHAHAH!"

Meanwhile, down the table, for Kagetsuki had chosen to sit as far from the Blob King as possible, the demon Queen of Dream was glaring pointedly at her three bowls of soup. It was ridiculous that these inferior beings even thought they had the power to order her around, but truth be told she was rather hungry. Besides, it was an excellent opportunity to show the insufferable mass of lard at the end of the table that she could handle whatever surprise awaited her in one of the bowls. She knew she'd originally wanted to spite Ivan more than The Bitch, but after seeing her?
No.
No.
All there was was to choose her bowl. A moment's deliberation had her taking up her spoon and digging eagerly and fearlessly into first the steaming one, then the cold one.

Sampling the cold one was an error, an alien, probably uncomfortably happy feeling began to edge into her stomach. But given her demonic and hardcore resolve, she could probably press it back down into the deepest, darkest pits of oblivion without recourse as long as she didn't have any more of the mysterious substance.

"Blegh!" The moment the tingle of happiness--she dreaded to even think the word--crept into her stomach Kagetsuki pushed the cold bowl away, her face screwing into a scowl. That was disgusting and warranted a good denunciation. Standing from her seat she called imperiously down the table towards the Blob King, "You there! Thing! I have found this bowl of soup decidedly unsatisfactory. Replace it for me."
And that was all. She sat and dug back into the steaming bowl, after a moment deeming to taste the glowing one as well.

"Garrette is decidedly distracted, so that won't be done anytime soon," her majesty replied with slow amusement. She of course ignored the other servants clearly standing at the ready, but they didn't dare budge despite Kagetsuki's displeasure with the food, there was a muffled squeak at the critique, probably from Roslin behind the safety of the door...
The glowing soup was perfectly normal despite what its appearance would have suggested.
Now it was just a matter of Veritas and Walter with their respective soups.

Walter's stomach growled as he looked at the food. His powers required the consumption of extremely large amounts of food which made him need to eat a lot right then. But he didn't like the looks of the soups. There was an almost visible struggle between his instinct not to accept anything given to him by one who could be considered a villain and the need to eat. At last he dipped the spoon into both the hot and glowing soup because he had never liked cold soup much.

Gangster Veritas prodded the cold bowl with one finger, and snatched her hand back with a hiss. She promptly upset the bowl, batting it off the table like a toddler. She took the other bowls one in each hand, and quaffed the glowing one, then the hot one, before tossing both of those behind her, over her still faintly odorous shoulders.
"When is we gonna get more bacon, vanilla faces?"

For Walter the glowing soup produced stomach-dancing results, but he wasn't sure if it was from the soup itself or the additional ingredient.
Veritas's error lied in downing the soups like vodka, specifically the 'hot' soup.
How they would deal with the creeping symptoms of being a hormonally charged adolescent was entirely up to them. Her Majesty took it easily in stride though as well as taking the time to finally pry Devon off of Garrette with the use of some tough inky limbs, it wasn't without resistance, but it was accomplished.
"100 points to each participant for clearing the round," her Majesty declared.
Garrette dusted himself off as the same three servants carted in more foods, though this time they were all placed in the center table. Removing the platter covering revealed some...strange sights as all the of food items, if they could even been deemed that, were wiggling in the dim light.
"Ahem, t-the next round requires that everyone consume at least half a plate, they can also be combined in any fashion. The same point-spending rule applies here as well."
He indicated to each of the portions, however the lighting made it vague, "The first is an assortment of choice Mandragora and Belladonna soaked in fermented ginseng extract to draw out the flavor. There is an option to flambe these."
The 'plants' were quite large and vaguely human-shaped as well as quivering within the bin in the moat of strange liquid and other floating bits of possible seasoning.
"The next is stuffed Maneater Mushrooms and Chimera Venus, noted for their sweet taste as well as uniquely protein high taste. Should you choose this dish, please beware of bone-like bits in the flesh. These also have the option of flambe."
These were fatter than the previous collection, and despite the names that implied difference between them, they both looked very much like the jaws of deep sea creatures.
"Pendragon's Snapdragon Roots are considered a delicacy and if you choose to eat it, you will need to tell us at what temperature you would like it to be prepared at as well as how finely cut it will be."
Out of all of them, this was the one that moved the least and looked like very fat, dark skinned, plucked birds.
"Lastly is Gustav's Lotus Leaf as well as a collection of choice, but otherwise market available greens. We have a choice of vinaigrette and red wine to compliment it."
Disappointingly, despite the fancy name it looked like plain old salad, though it did quiver at random intervals....
After declaring this, normal-sized dinner plates were distributed as well as salad forks and for some reason, steak knives.
"Eating these in a certain combination may produce very delightful or nasty results, enjoy."
Ivan and the Blobtress were the first to of course pick and finish their dishes, the magician merely lobbed on a decent helping of the Pendragon roots and wolfed it down quickly. Her Majesty however took a dainty combination of Gustav's Lotus Leaves and the Maneater Mushrooms, she ate them considerably slower...
(Devon: 300, (MIA) Selena: 135, Veritas: 150, (MIA) Mahoro: 70, Walter: 160, Kagetsuki: 240.)

Depressed at having been pried away, but hopeful this latest dish would stir something else up, Devon dished up his plate with equally large portions of everything so he could sample it in any variation he could figure out.

Gangster Veritas seemed utterly confused. "Wait, hold up, bitches. We just eat 'em, right? Ya'll's usin' some bigass words about flom-bayin an' shrooms an' weed an' shit."

After Garrette regained focus from being baffled at Devon's seemingly foolhardy gluttony, he addressed her most gangstaness, "We offer the option to roast the hell out of your food."
He flipped the card case spontaneously in his hand, and akin to his firearm trick with the card, produced a sleek flamethrower.

"Oh okaie homie, okaie. I feel you, vanilla man. You can burn it up, homie." Veritas nodded. She didn't specify which dishes, though, which insinuated that she just didn't care. Or that he should just set them all aflame.

And set them aflame he did- after applying on proper goggles to his face of course.
The whole table was set aflame, screeing sounds and the sound of tiny fireworks going off as fire was slathered over all of it. By the time he was done it was revealed that the table was actually made of metal and that the various candles lining the top were made of cheap (puddles of) metal.
The platter of Mandragora and Belladonna were also now significantly larger and audibly boiling.

The fire didn't seem to faze Devon in the least, who was still picking out combinations like nothing had happened. It was doubtful his small frame would permit him to get through the whole plate, but he was only looking for a specific combination (made possible by every dish having a representative on his plate) that would raise his elation further.

It was probably after Devon had sprouted extra appendages such as cat ears and vestigial antenna and seeing visions of only the most psychedelic variety did he find that Maneater Mushrooms and Gustav's Lotus Leaf produced not only a morphine high but also a radical change in skin pigment of the purple watermelon classification. The former would probably be his only concern though.
