Snippet #2476222

Everyone seemed too distracted for food, so Lee grabbed a giant plate of assorted croissant sandwiches, and mixed box of sushi from the fridge. He bent over to retrieve a tray of warm chocolate chip cookies from the oven; at least food isnt a problem, there was an unlimited supply ready at hand. Carrying, food over to the newcomers Lee had to focus just to not make his hands shake: he has never addressed so many people at once and it was terrifying, more so than the situation at hand. Taking a deep breath, he walked over to the group and laid the food on the table, seeing no one making a move, he grabbed a piece of salmon sushi and plopped it in his mouth, trying to ignore the girl attempting to leave the room. The door was not physically locked but there was a magic barrier in place.

The girl with the teacup had pulled another teapot out of her strange hat and laid it on the table; Lee reached for it and poured himself a cup. After stirring some honey and lemon in the cup he took a sip and began, "As you all know, this isn't home anymore, but a very elite school in the human world. A "curse" of sorts has been cast on all of us and evil runs rampant in our world; however, to my knowledge this isnt a curse at all, but a safety mechanism set by our ancestors." He pulls out a scroll containing very old inscriptions not written in the common tongue. It had a drawing of a book, one side with heaven's light and fine calligraphy, while the other had black flames burning the edges and very messy handwriting. "To keep it simple, our world has an eternal conflict between good and evil, it is as natural as the plants and animals, but for some reason this time the balance was tipped and evil has the upper hand. I do not know how things are back at home, I've only arrived here at the same time as you guys." Lee paused, deciding whether or not to reveal his master's involvement in this. "As for the reason why we are at this school, I do not know. During my time here as a student I could feel something strange about it but did not have time to dig deeper, but it is no coincidence we are here." Lee stopped talking and took another sip of tea, allowing what he said to sink in around the room. "I will continue to answer your questions in a bit, but for now please enjoy the food and calm yourselves down, we will be here for a while so make yourselves at home while I go retrieve your supplies." He walks over to a closet door that was also not there before and began dragging out boxes.
