As the light over his perch was disturbed, his eyes opened slightly in time to see Momonga make his appearance. Standing over Jack as he was laying down on the stands. The Seraphim could only smile up at him despite there being no expression really on the face of a skeleton other than that permanent smile made by the bare jaw.
Part of him kind of missed the fleshy face behind the skeleton already, as he wasn't quite sure if they were ever going to get out of this game. If this was still a game. He was already highly doubting it was.
As everything had become too real...
His eyes shifted over towards Aura and Mare who were standing on either side of the Overlord. He nodded to them slightly before sitting up and crossing his legs. The wings on his back fluttered slightly before folding and being at rest.
"Are you doing alright, Jack-san?" Momonga asked, which caused the two elves to look up at him when he called Jack by his true name.
Jack shrugged. He didn't know how he was feeling, but it wasn't good, whilst it also wasn't really that bad either. It felt like he was floating on an incorporeal hill. He closed his eyes part way before reaching into his item box and taking out a glass jar of Asgard apricot preserves. He stared at it for a few seconds before popping it open.
Aura, Mare, Momonga and Jack all tensed up at the smell. It's scent was so much more potent than the stuff from the real world. Jack and Momonga just stared at the gelatinous orange goo in the jar.
"That... Wasn't expected," Jack uttered quietly before digging a finger into the jam and putting it to his lips. Flavors that he never thought he'd taste in a game, shot through his taste buds. His heart began to race.
"I... I can taste the food," Jack muttered under his breath before holding it out for the two elves to try.
Momonga's gaze remained on the jar however, envious of Jack as he could taste the food. He didn't even have a tongue or an actual throat. Not even a stomach to digest it. Momonga was truly just a skeleton with magical powers.
Aura took the jar as it was offered for her to take and the twins went to town. There was tons of sugar in there, but also tons of apricot chunks.
Jack smiled seeing the two of them enjoying the sweet treat before suddenly a gate opened on the other side of the Arena. Both Momonga and Jack glanced over towards the gate, seeing Shalltear Bloodfallen come walking out into the open.
At first glance, one may say she was cute. Yet her personality was incredibly skewed. She was sadist and a masochist rolled into one. At the same time her high number of kinks was far more disturbed.
He watched as the Gothic Lolita started her way towards them. And as she was grinning and taking each step closer, other gates would appear, allowing the other guardians to enter the Amphitheater.
Even though he couldn't see all their faces. He could clearly see that they were both excited and delighted to be there. They were happy to see that there was not just one Supreme Being, but two, who had stayed behind to be with them.
Jack would let out a soft chuckle, his eyes turning towards Mare and Aura again. They were licking their fingers, each others fingers.
"While we wait for Sebas Tian to come back, I'm going to go up to the surface and see for myself what is outside," Jack informed as he would push himself to his feet and look up towards the skybox which surrounded the area.
He could only imagine how it would be like for someone to come down here into the dungeon and think they were outside. It was rather depressing to think about, especially when they'd finally realize that they were still underground. That they had no where to go... That they were trapped, and they were going to die. The despair they'd be feeling.
