A light lunch
#1 of Perfect Insanity
The smell of sulfur was heavy in the air, the lights were dim and every thing was to dark to make out past the lamp on the nightstand. The Warden lay in the large bed shivering with the covers up to his neck. He sat there peeking over them. He wasn't alone, a low humming noise was heard from some where in the room. A figure stood in the doorway. The light behind his back caused him to show as a silhouette in the darkness. His long flowing cape stood motionless as he laughed manically. Suddenly a claw shot up and grabbed the edge of the covers on the bed. It closed down on them and pulled them slightly as another claw appeared doing the same thing. Suddenly a face with glowing red eyes appeared only the eyes, being visible. It let out a low growl as Warden moved what little light he had toward the beast. He screamed at the sight of it as he dropped the little lantern he had at his bed side. It crashed to the floor and broke still showing a bit of light as it flickered. It shone on the creature as its bottom jaw split in half to reveal two spikes on the ends Tentacles shot out onto the bed like some kind of sick looking mass of organs. The creature was shaggy and seemed to be green in the light. It had bizarre bio hazard like coloration. He had a flaming red mohawk and monstrous horns. His ears were huge and took up most of his head. It crawled toward The Warden hissing as The Warden screamed loudly. He tried to move but his shackles kept him in place. The beast was just inches from his face. "Alright that's enough now " The figure commanded. He flicked the switch to reveal he was an older looking version of the man chained to the bed. He looked almost identical maybe more aged. Unlike The Warden he wasn't stark naked. His glasses had a crack in the corner of them and he wore his full attire. He commanded the monstrous creature to climb off of The Warden. "Now now see what happens when you won't obey me. Tsk Tsk" He said almost in a child like voice toward The Warden." Come, Majy, lets leave our little friend here to rest for the night." Future Warden said as he beckoned to the dragon. The hefty beast no larger then a horse climbed off of the bed and happily followed his masters footsteps. His tail wagged rhythmically with Warden's steps. As his ears were held in a perked position. A position of dominance. Even his stance flowed with the sheer power of his muscles and dominance. As if it were just flowing out of him like a rushing river after a dam breaks. The Warden, The future one, Stuck his hand out toward the dragon as it nuzzled his hand gently. The kind of gentleness that a mother crocodile would pick up its baby within its jaws. The beast purred softly as the pair walked out of the room. Soon future Jared joined the pair making it a trio. "Shall we go to lunch sir ?" The midget known as Jared said with an air of superiority. He was much different from what he was in the past. From a shy timid accountant to a powerful person of war. Only second to Warden. He was a skillful sniper. His head was a bit on the large side making his size larger then that of a normal midget. Together the trio walked into the mess hall as the soldiers and inmates fell silent. The soldiers were clad in purple armor and strange looking helmets similar to a squarish bicycle helmet. The inmates wore orange jumpsuits with their designated numbers on the back. They moved to let the three pass to the head of the buffet area. Warden got some salad and a steak from the grilling area. Jared got Chubsteaks food. Burgers fries and all the good shit. Just like he typically would. Just like how it all started. Oh the burger that started it all, the burger that gave Warden the marvelous idea to expand Superjail into on big glorious nation. Of course who wouldn't like the tasty food after it had brought such a plan to some one with such power. Warden took a few burgers as well as he fixed up a plate for his dragon. Who by know had turned into a strange chibi like creature. Who we referred to earlier as Majy, who was now perched on Warden's shoulder. The little dragon mewed into Warden's ear as he put some tacos onto his plate for the little guy. He spoiled him a bit in a way since he was his little buddy, but only next to Jared. Maybe a little higher but still pretty close. Warden brought the pair to the dining room. , The table was heavily decorated with heavy purple velvet with gold fringe and a gold runner going across its length. Candles went down the length of the table. Ready to be lit. He motioned to the chibi as the small animal let out a blast of flame that shot down the table lighting all of the candles making it a bit of a nice scene to dine in. The small animal gracefully lept off of his shoulder and onto the table with barely a sound. It picked up a taco off of Warden's plate and daintily nibbled it. He savored the delicious food of the gods. Jared in turn to this picked up his burger and tried not to devour it on sight like he typically would alone those nights like he used to. When he was feeling bad. No not this time he had an image to uphold. He was no longer some drunken slob like he was on the streets before Warden first found him and offered him to work at the glorious Superjail. The Warden took his fork and knife and cut at the tender steak. He seemed to have quite a bit of class about him the way he was dainty about it. One would mistake this cutthroat killer for some one of high class maybe even rich descent. Yet my friend looks can be very deceiving oh so very deceiving. He took his fork with the steak bit on it and held it out to the little dragon, who in turn used his sticky tentacle like tongue to lick at it. He was curious, so he moved his head closer to sample the morsel finally taking it off of the fork with his mouth. Warden took a bite of the steak for himself after this. The little creature approached Jared and scooted closer every few seconds. Jared looked up at him and held out a french fry to the tiny tyrant, who in turn grabbed it with both paws and nibbled it like a chipmunk with an acorn. He scampered back over to Warden who had another bite of steak for him. Jared cleared his throat after a few minutes. "Sir I think we should go over the plans for our next invasion." Warden nodded at this through bites of steak and feeding the small dragon. "Hmm shall we play our little game after dinner. " Jared nodded to this as well. "Yes lets " He knew what this meant. Mainly throwing a dart at a random unsuspecting country. It was an odd way to pick were to invade next but it did work. Warden scratched under the little dragons chin and payed special attention to his equally tiny beard. He put his forefinger and thumb on his chin as he seemed to be thinking about something He tapped his finger on his chin for a few seconds before taking some bites of his baked potato, which he then offered small portions to the little dragon. Who in turn went back over to Jared to sneak a bite of his burger. He did indeed succeed in capturing a burger that he dragged back over to Warden and started putting little pieces of it on his plate. Jared failed to notice his missing food as he went over a large map he had laid out onto the table a bit earlier. He was looking at it and plotting some kind of course for something. Probably trying to plot were the rebel alliances were and were they had already attacked. Most of every one in Superjail just loathed the rebels. The one group of people who dare deify the superiority of the great nation of Superjail. How dare they Jared thought to himself. He quite enjoyed sniping out any who dare got to close to the fortress. Almost no one even set foot that close except for unlucky citizens who were being harassed by the cold metal cyborgs. Some were taken to a factory deep in the confines of Superjail to be converted into these purple soldiers of death. Only the choice organs were taken from each person to fill the cold empty shell. There were even machines that converted living bodies into more war machines. Meanwhile Warden who had his cyborg arm on at the moment was polishing it with a cloth as the little dragon polished off what he didn't eat. It was his prized possession next to his many war trophies. With out it he may not have succeeded in some of his goal. He tapped the table a bit with his glove as he got up. His long flowing cape billowing out from behind him from the sudden rush of air that caught under it when he stood up. The small dragon climbed up on his shoulder as Jared kept pouring through his maps. He didn't mind the presence of his matriarch disappearing. Some Warden Bots came out to clear the place were Warden had sat as he walked out of the door. "Later tonight we shall play our game" He said as he waved his metal clad hand in the door way and exited.
