You decide to seek help in this situation, Claire was probably kidnapped and with help from the island’s police the search won’t take a while. You left the bathroom and moved to ask information to an attendant near the bar, who sent you toward the administration building with a notice.
Two guards control stoically the entrance and move aside when you reveal your notice, and another pair show the way to a finely decorated dining hall. The woman inside the room is beautiful, curly brown hair framing a heart-shaped face, with most of her voluptuous body clad in a loose toga. A full dinner is being served by various butler as the guards position themselves on each side of the door.
The woman smiles when you look at her bemusedly and direct you to a nearby empty seat “Greetings, you are the first today to join me for this fine meal! Feel free to sample today’s menu to your hearth’s content. Now, one of my employee told me one of your friends disappeared from a bathroom, is this correct?”
“Exactly, I lost sign of Claire after she entered the bathroom and never left the building. I think someone kidnapped her while inside and spirited her away using a back entrance”
The woman examines the glass full of wine in her hand lazily “Is that so? Are you sure she didn’t left voluntarily? Children in this age are very adventurous you know. I will dispatch someone to find Claire” She set down the glass and with a nimble gait approach your position “And what about you? Will you not sample something?”
The hairs in the back of your neck stand on end as one finger traces circles on your neck “uh, no thanks, I am not hungry right now, thanks again for the help, I will see myself out now if you don’t mind” You don’t know why but the encounter sent alarm bells in your head.
“No, I don’t think you will leave anytime soon” The girl said with a endearing grin while the guards barred the only door “You can’t leave this room if you don’t taste one thing on the table. But allow me to introduce myself, I am Circe, the owner of this island. I know what you’re thinking, I am the exact same in the odyssey, and you’re now at my mercy. Don’t bother to assault me, the other ones that tried didn’t do anything worthwhile as tiny mice I fear. I can’t let you go without a game between us, wouldn’t you agree? To win the right to leave this room you only must join me for dinner, simple enough, right? I should only inform you that every one of the dishes arrayed are contaminated by one of my wondrous potions. There is only one dish that will preserve your current form before you, the others will change you to some kind of animal for my enjoyment. I wonder, will you turn up in the stables, the forest or maybe in my aviary as some exotic bird? You have five minutes to decide your fate, beyond which I will transform you as I wish”
