Jessica and Tiger might not have known her by her face, but they would certainly know the name Talia Wernhark. The second richest person in a Rail City, with the first biggest ass. Plus, they might have been able to identify her from the infamous and indecent selfies that leaked a few months back. Her face wasn't in them, but it was definitely Talia.

"I'll just have your most expensive white wine. And two glasses."

She waved off the large waiter. She largely ignored the speech, giving only a cursory glance when she was looked at by the speech giver. Talia was more focused on Jessica, still waiting for her to join her.

Jessica took another look at Tiger and sighed. "Wish me luck." She muttered, before she walked off the stage, going towards Talia, holding onto her sheet with all her might. "Do you require any assistance, ma'am?"

"Yes, obviously. Or I wouldn't have wanted you to come over here. Sit down and take a glass. You might as well have a drink with me."

Talia crossed her legs.

"My name is Talia Wernhark. I own the largest banking company in the state. But I'm in the business of a lot of things. The first priority of which, is making money. I'm currently the second richest person in this city. I'm sure you already know who the first is. I'm just going to say point blank. I want you to tell me absolutely everything that you know about Cassandra Tal. I can't know just from looking at you what would be sufficient payment to secure your cooperation, but I can guarantee that whatever it is, I can give it to you."

Jessica stared at Talia, not sitting down, and her stare slowly turned into a glare. "You are going to pay me for information on Cassandra. What makes you think I want to share that information anyway?"

The Church/Cemetery

Judge Isaac moved closer to the church, noticing that the person with the gas mask didn't seem to follow him. He turned his back to the wall while holding his shotgun upright, taking a moment to contemplate his plan of attack.

Now that he thought about it, the man might have had powers like many of the other individuals in the city. But he didn't know just what those abilities were. And it was possible that the larger man may have had the ability to turn himself into stone. Maybe the ones working the graves had special powers as well.

As much as the disciples of Donatello infuriated him in their gross misdeeds, it was foolish to strike before knowing just what they were capable of. And besides, Isaac's targets were those who served Leonardo, especially the one who had attempted to steal his taquitos.

Looking toward the sky, Judge Isaac spoke aloud with a voice much lower than Levi's, "My name is Sir Osmond. I apologize that I may have acted a bit suspicious. I was under the assumption that you were a bunch of teenage hooligans that I could easily coerce into joining me. I don't know what your purpose is or why you are digging up graves, but I would be willing to join your cause. I am currently lacking any sort of organization or allies to speak of. I am currently armed and willing to defend myself, but I will remove my weapons if necessary. I am also in possession of certain powers that your coalition may find beneficial."

Isaac really hoped this plan would pay off in the long run.

"You just answered your own question. I'm going to pay you. Look, my end-goal is to basically become the most powerful person in the city. I'm very close to this. But there is just one dark-skinned, tall, obstacle in my way. Besides the annoying supers anyway. I can assure you, as a woman of my word, that you will be very well compensated for your cooperation. You seem like you have, well, a giant stick up your butt. Trust me, I would know, as I'm sure you and everyone else in the room as already noticed. I don't know what it is exactly that you want, but I know what I can give, and that's alot."

Rail Museum Showroom

"Ah", said Dino, I see, I see. Your father was a fine man. Good with business, in his way. ...Not to mention, he possessed some extraordinary theories; magical spells, other realms, Gods... Mostly wishful thinking on his part, but still. Don't you ever wonder if, perhaps, there truly is some sort of... greater power out there, watching over us all, as we speak? Perhaps even standing in this very room, his presence masked to all, and we wouldn't even know! That is something to think about, isn't it?"

Meanwhile, outside the Museum, a certain event was about to commence. Sitting in a large truck across the street were 4 men and 2 women in black cloth. They seemed to be waiting for... something, but just what they were waiting for, who could guess?


The Arena

His eyesight recovering even quicker than before and the feathres not doing much more than tickling him, Jake saw the otter below, and—

"Hey, otter... thing! Catch!"

He then practically ripped the hostage straight out of Quetzalcoatl's hands by the legs, and tossed him over to the 6'ft otter, hoping he could catch him...

"Money will not satisfy me. And as much as I would like to see Ms. Cassandra ripping her hair out and being too busy to even come close to this museum, I'd rather prefer if that happened naturally." Jessica said, adjusting her glasses. "Without my interference, that is."

The Cemetery

Looking up from her work, as another minion joined her ranks, it took a moment for Natasya to process the warning "What? Who?"

Before she could get any answers, 'Sir Osmond' called out to them, explaining his position. Poking her head above the edge of the emptied grave, she looked around before commenting to Phase "For an abandoned cemetery, we are certainly receiving a lot of traffic." A moment later she held out her arm to her largest servant, which was apparently it's cue to help her extricate herself from the hole. Keeping her guardian between herself and the general direction she had heard the voice come from, she in a quiet voice asked Phase the most pertinent question on her mind "So...do you know a 'Sir Osmond' from anywhere?"

Her zombies kept on digging.

Rail Museum, Helena's Nails Exhibit

Cot leaned forward in her chair, taking the time to fish around beneath her seat and step on the piece of plastic there until the tinkly sound of broken glass reached her ears. "This should be good," she murmured, her attention sliding away from the Venusians and onto the attractive woman in the sleek black dress. Her face wasn't visible, only her dark hair, and her tone was perfectly calm, collected, and entirely polite, with only the tiniest glass-edged sliver of something else hidden in her smooth voice. Cot got the sense of a warrior preparing for battle, and it made her heart beat a little faster. "Who is that?" she asked Alannah quietly.

"Hm. Well, I can at least say that we share a similar mindset regarding Ms.Tal. And I'm sure when she is busy sleeping with your friend, someone's hair will definitely be pulled. But, very well. I understand your wishes and hope to at least see you cheering for me on the sidelines."

Rail City Museum

"Thanks, I want to go check on the guys watching the Cameras and make sure that they're still awake." Getting to the security room was remarkably uneventful despite all the crowds around high ranking guests and various influential people. Thankfully the two guards on camera duty were still awake and paying attention despite being incredibly bored. "Hey Lee, why don't you and MacLeod go take a break and go get a bite to eat or something. I'll take over here for a bit, I could use a break from the rich and famous for a bit anyways." The pair of guards seemed eager to leave and quickly scuttled out the door and presumably to the showroom to eat something. Before sitting down to get on Camera duty, Daniel grabbed his Kukri and whetstone and began sharpening it as he watched the museum. The actions had become second nature to Dan by now and didn't require him to keep a close eye on his hands to avoid cutting himself. Pulling a chair up to the console, Daniel prepared for the long night ahead.

When Talia mentioned Cassandra sleeping with Tiger, Jessica's finger twitched, and Talia could have swore she saw something blue appearing over it for a moment, as the scientists in the young Masters' head held back her urge to burn this woman into ashes. "Of course." She replied, getting ready to walk back on stage. But before she did that... "You should be careful. That big posterior of yours is bringing your brain down. Before Cassandra sleeps with my friend, you will sleep with my fist." Jessica told Talia, confidently, as she walked back to the stage.

"...I see you aren't above threatening your clients."

Talia grabbed her drink as soon as it was brought to her, and sipped a bit.

"I'm sure the former will happen soon enough, so the latter is bound to happen as well. And when that day comes, my...'big posterior' and myself will both be ready..."

Rail World History Museum- Showroom

Zalyn turned away from the latest objects of his interest with a smile on his face. One was obviously a little nervous about the attention while the other was quite playful. Both were positive reactions in his mind. Perhaps he'd formally introduce himself later. Zalyn then heard Sharik perform his rather crude speech. Zalyn had to admire the man's glibness but he still didn't like him. Would he sleep with the man? Absolutely. But would he want to have fun with him? Zalyn didn't think so.

Zalyn reached under the nearest seat and found one of Sharik's phones. Zalyn had no real need of it, but he never turned down free gifts even from people he disliked. Except for items that were potentially booby-trapped or food that was poisoned, but the days of Venusian Court Politics was behind him for now. Zalyn considered Natow's words about a higher power. He had no interest in talking to the man, but he suddenly said aloud, "On my planet we have many gods. Gods of wealth, art, science, war. But my family's patron was Zenan. The Venusian Commoner who became a great warrior, then a great leader, and who united the Noble Houses and Ancient Clans to form the Empire in the first place. Supposedly he ascended to a god, and to this day he protects the Imperial Family."

Zalyn downed another Tequila from a passing tray, "Never took much stock in it. He hasn't done much for me lately." He chuckled and returned his attention the showroom. His first interest, Cassandra now took the time to ask a question and deliver a barb to Sharik. Zalyn adored Cassandra's guile. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Talia conversing with one of Cassandra's associates. He might have found this interesting if he hadn't been both enamored with Talia's rear end and somewhat miffed that she hadn't invited him over yet.

Zalyn was getting a little bored and he idly wished for something exciting to happen.

The Church/Cemetery

As he didn't hear an immediate response, Judge Isaac conjured his orb, and commanded it to move roughly thirty-five feet above his head.

Setting: Blinding.

A large white sphere appeared around the orb. Isaac only saw the space within as slightly brighter than before. To those without, it appeared a bright white, but it was tolerable to the eyes. Those within would be overwhelmed by the light's intensity if their eyes went unprotected.

"Behold, for this is the extent of what I am capable of. The light does not burn but only blinds those within. I hope this will demonstrate to you that I am willing to cooperate."

With the hothead

Richard was frozen, staring at the stage where the speaker had just been. He felt as if someone had reached over and slapped him in the face with their junk, an experience he was actually familiar with in the wrestling ring. "That...was easily the worst speech I have ever heard..." He said with a sigh as his head collided with the table. Esteban had given up dealing with the strange man and had come back around, bearing a tray of several margaritas, Richard promptly took them all for himself. "Thank you Esteban, I need these. More than you can imagine..." He said dejectedly.

He was about to start shooting them back until he noticed Cassandra passing the two phones that were given to her and Beth in front of him. With her long...slender...supple arms. A quick mental slap made him pull his mind back to reality as she said he may destroy them how he wished. Already he was thinking of several means to do so, some of which involved gratuitous amounts of fire and punching. Maybe even a motorcycle tire.

Again he tried to knock back some drinks, only for Claudia to interrupt him. Rolling his eyes, he turned to her. "Yes Claudia, what is it?" He asked the masked woman.

"Pardon me sir, but I believe that the Venusians and the CEO of Sleipnir Industries wish to thank you." She said. "Also, could you kindly take the blue one his Sparkling Cider..."

Richard stared at her for a moment, his mouth slightly open. "Wh...why not just do it yourself?" He asked her in disbelief.

"Sorry, can't talk, shift ended!" She said as she handed him the glass and quickly left. Richard took the glass before holding a hand out to try and stop her but was too late.

He stared at the glass for a moment before sighing to himself and standing up. "I should just be right back then..." He said to Cassandra and Beth before making his way over to the Venusians, Zack , and Dino. "God what am I doing, this is stupid. This is so stupid. I look even more like a fish out of water next to two aliens, a possible mobster, and fucking Santa Claus." he screamed in his mind as he came closer. When he was close enough, he spoke up to the blue one, Prince Zalyn if he remembered correctly. "Um, excuse me sir, one of my employees said you wished to speak to me? I'm Richard Matthews, the one in charge of tonight's meals...the employee, the girl who was over here earlier, said you had something to say to me?" He said, suppressing the anxiety in his body and doing his best to keep it out of his voice as he handed the other male humanoid his cider.

With the rest of the servers

As that was going on, each of the servers would make their rounds, delivering the drinks and appetizers where needed. In addition, each of them would then ask their respective tables for their orders.

"Likewise," Alannah replied to Cot, smiling, glad that this trip hadn't been such a chore after all, despite the rocky start.

The girl scowled incredulously as the guy from the door - now known to be Sharik, of phone fame - made his speech. "... why invited this guy?" She whispered, raising one eyebrow and glancing under her seat to see the phone deposited there. She smiled slightly as someone else asked the very question she and Cot had, then leaned back over when her new friend spoke, following her gaze. "Who, the lady in black? She looks kinda familiar, I think she's millionaire or something." She cocked her head slightly. "Whoever she is, things sound kinda frosty over there, huh?"

She accepted her drink from the waiter and ordered some food, looking around the showroom from the artifacts on stage, to the, past the weirdo sitting on the table and quickly glancing back over at the alien prince. "It's turning into a bit of a circus, isn't it?" She commented, sipping her drink.

"They do, yeah," Cot said, amused. She still couldn't take her eyes off of the woman. Sharik needed a verbal smackdown, if not a physical one, and the fact that it was going to be this lovely, sharp lady who did it was an added bonus! She accepted her drink from the server and smiled up at him, then raised her glass in a toast to the Venusians across the room. They seemed to be enjoying the confrontation too. "I'd suggest we go say hi if their table wasn't already full," she said to Alannah teasingly. "I bet they don't bite unless you ask them to."

"Well, we've already done a few surface tests on the artifacts, and their age matches what the legends say it should," Dr. Carter said, answering Cassandra's question. "We'd have to literally tear the lance and crown apart to see if the nails were really there, but so far everything does check out."

"So what happened?" Tiger asked when Jessica came back. "Um, are you okay? You look kind of upset..."

The Cemetery/Church

Judge Isaac walked until he reached the corner. There, he gently lay the shotgun on the ground.

With his arms raised up high, Isaac moved along the front of the church.

He saw the man with the gas mask once more, along with a large number of hooded figures. For some reason, one of the figures had been hiding behind the man with the unreasonably large stature. Most of them were still digging the graves, as if they had not noticed the Judge's presence.

"Feel free to inspect the contents of my backpack along with anything else you deem necessary. Just don't do anything indecent."
