You would be inclined to eavesdrop on what's being discussed and gossiped, but in trying to calm your nerves and catch your breath after coming face to face with the losers and victors of the ceremony, you find your attention wandering more to the gallery itself rather than the celebration.
<span class="mu-b">"...wait a minute... is that the All-American? Why is his portrait... and hold on... that's Red Widow, she was a supervillain!"</span>
It's a rather strange experience at first, where you see the portraits of people you think you recognize but can't seem to place. The more you dwell on it though and wrack your brain, eventually it comes to you. Much longer than it should have, but they were the last people you expected to ever see in a place like this, so it didn't occur to you at first. The portraits, statue busts, and other artistic representations of various super figures, both good and bad. Quite famous and classic heroes and villains from back in the day, many decades past. Famous or not though, most people wouldn't just recognize them at a glance or off the top of their head, the only reason you're able to remember them is because of your longtime obsession with all things superhero and villain.
It makes things start feeling a little surreal, now to contrast against the bloody ceremony of this group, whatever they are.
<span class="mu-g">"Do you like him Cat? Or her, if you prefer."</span>
<span class="mu-b">"...what?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"The winners! Now that they're Inheritors they don't have sexual restrictions. We could get you the night with them if you like, as a guest."</span>
The proposition of the twins catches you completely off guard, and you turn red at the idea of it. Struggling to understand what they try to explain, it seems like now that the young man and woman have prevailed through the ceremony, they gain various rights and privileges as "Inheritors" now. One of those things as part of the celebration for their victory, among the rewards they get is to appreciate some of the debauchery that club members enjoy. Thus why the pair are on display now, not just for congratulations but for interest in matchmaking after their violently appealing physical display. Perhaps the Greco-Roman aesthetics of things weren't just for show, as these would-be gladiators get showered with all manner of fruits of victory.
