With the doors now opened, the multitudes of students had begun pouring in and getting the food, the line being somewhat crowded and disorganized, with many students collecting all the foods they could, with the cooks seeming to have always another large plate to bring out, or another large batch to give, or more rolls, or just about anything. As a majority of students began to take their seats, there was an odd silence near one of the sides of the hall as a large group of the "normal" guests began to arrive. First, a pair of mechanical guards, and then the individuals who had been seen outside of the ship, and then an even larger multitude of people who were similarly dressed in work clothes, with their own metal modifications, or none at all.
As the large group of others had come, collected a multitude of foods like the many students had before them, and took their seats, somewhat isolated. For the moment, at least, things proceeded oddly. With those closer seated to the guests being somewhat quieter with the presence of many of the mechanized guests around. But soon the mood returned to the usual run of things, with the students seeming to be more excited about the huge amounts of food they were allowed to have today.
The masters, meanwhile, were lingering in the back areas, watching as everything unfolded.
"See? No riot. You worry too much Nine." Darnell spoke, obviously seeing how things would go this morning.
"Shut up, Darnell. We haven't started yet." Nine muttered back, obviously somewhat annoyed to be up watching a feast this early.
"Once the big guy gets here, we will see how things pan out, won't we?"

Seth happily collected what foods he could, figuring that if he did have to face some unknown thing, he would prefer to do so with a full stomach. Grabbing plenty of bacon, eggs, and a pancake here or there, and then finally finishing off with some toast, he went over to where he noted Fei was sitting, and inhaling, the food that was on her plate.
"Slow down there Fei! Going to be sick at the rate you are breathing that food!" Seth said with a chuckle, noting another was taking a seat nearby and casually stepped away so they could sit first. Taking a few steps away to another open seat, Seth sat and then took his first and favorite breakfast treat: bacon. He didn't try to shovel it down like Fei was though, because he would get both messy and sick. Not that he was too worried about his appearance.
THEY invited me, so if they don't like how I look, I don't give a damn what they thought in bringing me to this meeting. Course, I hope this isn't some 'we are kidnapping you' thing. Otherwise, I will have to stab someone.
Brooding for a moment, he glanced again at Fei who seemed very intent on eating everything as quickly as she could at once. It was amazing someone so small could eat all that so quickly.
Hah...Can't blame her. I would do that too if I wasn't certain I would mix something that shouldn't be mixed. Mmmmm....Bacon.
