[IC] - All the World's a Game

"Hehe, I guess that makes sense."

Then I saw Dante trying to sneak a peak at the food.

Then Yuyuko appeared behind him.

"Please don't disturb them. They need their concentration." She began emitting a demonic aura.

Room 508

"I think he is a little bit on the heavy side don't ya think?" Chuckled Dante.

"There's an explanation for that. The reason I'm so heavy is because I had a Carbide Ceramic Ossification procedure done to my bones. It makes them virtually indestructible, but it also makes me heavy. It doesn't help that my cellular density is higher as well.", John said.

Just then, Youmu came in with an appetizer.

"For appetizer, we have gyoza dumplings with assortment of dippings." Youmu served a plate of dumplings with wasabi, soy sauce, and ground sesame oil.

The moment John tasted it, his eyes widened and his face was one of surprise.

Room 508

Dante stops and turns to Yuyuko. His face shows he is not frightened at all. "Sorry cutie, but I faced with the emperor of hell where I came from." He said as he places his hand on her chin gently. "Something like that is nowhere near enough to frighten me." He said as he sees Youmu bring out a plate of dumplings. He then moves away and walks to the table. Taking a seat in the chair opposite of John. There he takes a dumpling and dips it into the soy sauce and eats it. "Not bad, not bad..." He said as he eats the dumpling.

Yuyuko began drooling.

"Wow, Youmu! You really outdid yourself."

She ate half the bowl in a second!

"Ah! I'd better save half. I want to have enough room to eat the main course."

Oh, she won't have that problem.

I turned to John. "See what I mean now?"

Room 508

Upon seeing Yuyuko eat, John's jaw dropped.

"See what I mean now?", Komachi said as the turned towards John.

"You weren't kidding.", John said as he got back to eating.

"Yup. Now then, I'd better eat my part as well."

I begun eating.

"Wow guys! This is really good. I can only imagine the main course."

"Wow. But the sound of it, you came from a science fiction game, huh? Well, so did I. Not quite as advanced as space, though. The metal gears... Or robots, as most would rather label it, are amazing. The one you just saw is one of the most basic. I work as a tech manager. I helped build all of the metal gears from my game. I even helped with metal gear Zeke, a metal gear made for the MSF, or the Militaire Sans Frontiers. It stands for 'army witout borders.' And that's what we are."

Room 508

Dante eats one more dumpling before standing up. "Still prefer pizza though." He said as he heads towards the door. He then proceeds to lean against the wall and watches the group. Occasionally looking at John out of the corner of his eye.

It was getting pretty late, but people were still at the Engi-con.

"Wow. But the sound of it, you came from a science fiction game, huh? Well, so did I. Not quite as advanced as space, though. The metal gears... Or robots, as most would rather label it, are amazing.

"Metal Gears, huh? Are they those bi-pedal tanks?", Isaac asked.

"Yes. How did you know?"

Room 508

As John kept eating, he noticed Dante looking at him from the corner of his eye.

John returned the gaze as he ate, staring out of the corner of his eye as well.

(Hmm... I don't really like the way he's staring at me. What could he want?... Bah, I suppose I'll ask him later.)

"Yes. How did you know?", Huey asked.

"Well, I have heard of the game.", Isaac said as he pulled projected a hologram out of the front of his suit.
