"Now, Elizabeth, remember your French?" Huh, his family still remembers the old world term for it.
"Little bit." Max offers a half hearted response. "Let's just get going." Welp, your group enters the high class restaurant with no further complaint. Let's hope this is all worth it. It probably won't be.
You immediately feel out of place from just how god damn opulent this whole place is. That Sugar Mountain place was one thing but this place is in a league of its own. While the waiting room is about on par with most other sit down restaurants, one glance to the main space of the restaurant tells you you absolutely should not be here.
The main space is a wide open, opera-house style auditorium with at least five distinct floors that are filled to the brim with decorations and dinner tables with very, VERY important looking people eating a variety of food you could never hope to afford. In the center of this auditorium is a stage that currently has dozens on dozens of orchestra members meddling with their instruments.
A young, redheaded lady with tiny two inch antler nubs growing out of her head approach your group. She's in a simple white dress with a nametag reading "SUZY" attached to the front. She glances at you and nods in approval. It's clear that HER antlers are just cosmetic augments since you detect nothing anomalous from her. "Table for eight? Or are the four extra guests your assistants?"
"Fucking rude." Alexis hisses under her breath.
"Oh, oh, I would like to assist!" Casey chirps out!
"...C'mon. Am I still seen as chopped liver to your family, Max?" Benjamin overdramatically sighs.
Max can only shrug. "Sorry. Rather deal with THAT later." You assume she means their relationship. Can't blame her.
"They're guests. They did us a solid." Roland turns his gaze over to the auditorium. "Fifth floor, please."
"Excellent. Now, Mr. Huxley, I'm sure you remember our rules about bloodstained clothing-"
"Bite my ass. This is fresh deer blood."
"Duly noted, Huxley. Now, please follow me." The young lady gestures at your group to follow her.
Your group does so, heading right up a long, winding staircase that leads all of the way to the fifth floor of the auditorium. Your group is promptly seated at a large, spacious table that's lit by dozens of brightly colored L-Corp candles that already has a dozen small appetizers (freshly baked bread, fancy cheeses, etc.)
You and your four allies sits next to each other on the west side of the table while the three corpos sit at the east side of the table. Well, you got some time until dinner and the show arrives, so you can talk to your allies and intermingle with the corpos and the Alphabet Company reps.
Might be wise to talk to the Alphabet Reps to get some more staying power in the corporate sphere before talking to your allies and, well, going home. It's been a long, long day today and you're just ready to go home after all of this. Now, time to decide who's interesting enough to talk to.
