Cannibals are weird. Like in the past cannibalism was something people did when they were tribal, feral, unable to eat normal animals but had a good supply of people (like ship wrecks or uhh ship wrecks...) But in the more modern times cannibals persevere, what was once something people resorted to, has become something some people seek out. I think its because of necromantic myth's about getting the power of the person you eat (which is patently ridiculous you have to magically eat them for this power...)

The dinner was very fancy everyone was wearing nice little mask, dressed in expensive extravagant suits, and they had very pretty silverware and plates. How did I know they were cannibals? The cooked bodies in display in the center of the room that were being carved up to be served. It was kind of a big hint. My cage at least had a pillow and was made of gold which was a nice aesthetic, and also gold is extremely easy to melt. I could see a half assed attempt at making the gold cage magic proof, but the sigils were all wrong (they actually hilariously had inscribed it in theory to increase magical power, but they kind of messed that up too). Too my right and left were guards, they were armed with what looked like ceremonial swords. They also had no pants or underware on (but oddly they had on tops, I was completely mystified at the dress code for this party).

"So this is a nice party, but if you gents don't mind I'd like to leave." They didn't answer me. The MC of the whole event was in the middle helping to distribute parts of people (the corpses were male and female, as one would expect the genitals were the first thing eaten, which is disgusting yet makes sense). I wondered what I was doing there, they certainly had enough meat (I mean two whole people should be enough, not to mention I wouldn't be cooked in time for the rest of them to eat) when the MC pointed at my cage and held up a goblet.

"WHO WANTS THE FIRST DRINK?" He pointed at me and one of the guards brought up their saber.

"You guys are going to drink my blood? That's disgusting." As if everything else was fine up to this point (it wasn't but you know I wasn't personally threatened). With my life on the line I knew my time to act was upon myself. And I get into that in the next entry. You know I love dragging things out for the holidays.
