Wang Chung grabbed a napkin from an old-fashioned dispenser on the table, and handed it to Phobia. "There you go," he said as he got up and went to the counter. When he got back, he had a plate that matched Fan's. Before he started chewing -- he had to wait for the steaming food to cool a bit anyway -- he said, "To answer your first question -- yes, that's eel. It's an acquired taste, but I like it. To answer your second question -- I just got into town myself, and have no idea what to do. It seems that there a wide variety of entertainments to be had, though."
A woman passing by in a ridiculously short skirt said agreeably, "You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant." She didn't pause to wait for a reply.

"Oh, thanks." She glances at the passing woman, but ignores her and turns to Symphonia. "Singing, huh? I was never good at that. My brother always said I sounded like a dying cat. Do you sing for fun or to entertain people, like for a job?"
Phobia scrapes the last of the raspberries off her plate, and sets it aside. She reaches into her much-loved messenger bag and pulls out some charcoal and paper. Looking at her surroundings, she begins to sketch an image of her table-mates.

Fran looks up from her quickly emptied plate and licks the rice and sauce off her fingers. "I'm from nowhere, and everywhere. I don't know where I started, but I'm always on new trips. Though some places don't like me that much... I think it's my hair." She flips her hair around and slides the plate of desserts closer to her. She giggles as the slice of brown cake falls over onto the green ice cream. An orange colored slice of pie has a mound of whipped cream on top, and another item, with what looks like strawberries poking out, is covered in whipped cream as well. In the center of the plate is half of a strange looking fruit with a bright red inside.
"You all seem fun though! How about we go looking for something to do after we finish eating? There's this place with bright lights and loud music a little ways down the street! Maybe they wo...ecog...e" Fan's voice gets muffled as she digs into the deserts, starting with the orange colored pie.

"I dont much like loud places." Symp says from her place on the table. "Besides I don't really know you all well enough to willingly leave the safety of a brightly lit area to head to a club where one could simply slip a roofy into a drink and serve it to me..." She goes on but by now its inaudiable over the sound of...bees? Outside.
A bunch of cars were outside, well a mix of cars and fast-looking bikes. They were all matte black, with tinted black windows. The bikers wore long leather coats with chrome spikes at shoulders or elbows and dark sunglasses. A larger car was in the middle of this entourage.

Phobia looks up from her sketch, and sees the bikers outside.
"Oh, you can trust me Symphonia. I won't do nothing mean. Um, who are they?" She tilts her head in the direction of the new arrivals, "Some sort of gang?"

"You are wise not to trust people too quickly, Symphonia," Wang Chung said. "But I can assure you, I mean you no harm. In fact, I came here with the purpose of making new friends."
He looked out at the bikers worriedly -- he knew trouble when he saw it, and these people looked like a lot of trouble. But as long as they were normal mortals, he could handle them easily if they chose to attack him or his new friends. He noted that the scummy-looking lot at the card table on the other side of the room had also turned their attention to the door.

Symp offered Chung a smile, and then focused her attention at her surroundings. She wanted to sing- OH! That would certianly help her now dimming mood out alot -but she couldn't find her voice for a few seconds. "I wish I had money..." Was all she said, as the door to the limo opened up...
The driver had left the seat and moved smartly to the door, which faced the diner. He wore a normal suit that a Chaufer would wear- the only real different was the MP5 at his side, not even hidden -and laid his hand on the handle.
As he opened the door a very scantilly clad woman stepped out. She was pale, wearing a red bunny outfit and matching heels. She had long black hair and deadly curves. A white ball of puff was betwix her cheeks if you get my drift, and she had a large assault rifle on her back. One of her bunny ears were bent near the tip, giving her an odd look indeed. The rifle really made her menacing. A garter on her leg held a magazine for the rifle, on the inside of her thigh.
After a while of scanning the area she stepped to the side to let out the man who presumebaly led this group of people.
King Diamond stepped out, letting his coat fall to his ankles. He made some adjustments to his suit, before placing his hat on his head and striking the ground with his large cane as he stepped off toward the diner, the woman leading the way. The bikers dismounted and waiting outside, brandishing assorted weaponry as their leader approached the diner. A man tripped and fell in front of the woman, who sneered and jammed her stiletto heel into his palm. "Mofe! You blumbering idiot!" Her accent was tinged with russian, and needless to say the man scrambled to safety, favoring his broken hand.
She kicks open the door and the Chaufer, King DIamond, and herself enter the bar. King Diamond smiles and points to the scum at the card table, and the woman pulls her assault rifle off her back and cocks it...somethign was about to go down.

Phobia's eyes open wide with fear, but a hint of curiosity as well. She glances at her new friends before looking back to the odd trio newly arrived.
"Um, should we get out of here before something bad happens and we all get blown to bits by little Foo-foo?"

Fan stopped dead with her desserts the second she saw the bikers. Her purple eyes went wide with fear, and a strange glow seemed to emanate from them. She darted under the table and put Chung and Symp between herself and King Diamond. In a squeaky voice she said "Not them again. Why can't I just find a place where they never visit! And the bunny lady...simply horrid. ooooo If I get my hands on her I'll... I'll... oooooh they make me so mad!" Her eyes were now glowing brightly, though only as visible as a flashlight in a brightly lit room. Every time any of King Diamond's group looked her direction she closed her eyes and ducked from sight so they wouldn't see her. She was clutching on to Chung's clothes with a grip that only a pry-bar could break.

"You know them?" Wang Chung asked Fan curiously, but in a low voice so as not to draw attention to himself. He checked that his katana was clear in its scabbard, but made no move to draw it just yet -- unless he absolutely needed to use it to deflect oncoming bullets or something, he preferred to stay out of this particular fight until he knew what it was about.

The people sitting at the table Diamond had indicated with his nod, looked at eachother quickly before standing up. They wore a mix of ripped baggy jeans, t-shirts, and leather jackets. An odd-looking bunch they were. They also obviously had weapons concealed somewhere on their person, which was plainly obvious as well, since two of them immediately reached for somethign in their coats, or pockets.
The bunny women smiled as the trio approached, attracting the vagran stairs of curious men- and some women too -as she passed them by, the whiplash of her curves sending people glancing back to their meals or wives or girlfriends. This was a woman that no man could have. Upon seeing the two guys in the back go for weapons he fires two shots- bam! Right in the chest or head.
The two bodies slump to the ground, small droplets of blood splashing upon the curtainless window and the cards on the table- one of them had an awsome hand too. The Ace of Spades was particularly covered in blood, as well as the Ace of Hearts and the Queen of Diamonds.
The third one was trembling with fear at this point, and was frozen with fright as the sexy woman with the rifle took out his friends. His eye's were also frozen on her...well...her[/i]. As she approached and stepped aside the full weight of what was gonna happen hit him.
"So....where is it..." King Diamond said with his cold, threatening tone. He gave the man a few moemnts to answer before the woman came up beside him, placing the rifle on her back, and wrapped her arms around his neck and shoulders. She placed her head on his chest and spoke.
"Vere is it you stud..." She says, much to his avail. The man remains silent as she flirts with him. And when she realizes he's to afraid to talk, she gets angry. She begins to kiss him, but a swift knee to the groin halts that mess- apparently he wasn't that good of a kiss.
"Vere is it you scumbag...ve know you brought it here..." She says again, crouching down to his level. "Fine..." After a few moments, "If thats how its gonna be..." She stands up and raises a stiletto heel above his head.
"A-alright! I'll tell you..." The man aquiesces, a second later and he'd be dead on the floor right now. "Its...its...in a warehouse..." He hands her a slip of paper. "Third floor...in a safe...you should find it there..." She bends over and rewards him with not only a good view, but a nice kiss.
"Zhank you..." She says, standing back up. The man sighs, and begins to stand. That never happens, as a stiletto heel is brought down smartly upon his cranium- killing him instantly and making a mess of a perfectly good shoe. "Zhat alvays happens..." The woman says with a sight, using a napkin from a table to clean off the precious footwear.
Symphonia is disgusted by what happens, but doesn othing but simply look away. The woman laughs and hands Diamond the paper, and with a nod the trio turns around and leaves. The woman takes notice of the elf, and then looks right at Fan in her hiding place but keeps walking, giving her a threatening smile. Noone moves until they're all in the limo and gone.
And noone bothers to clean up the mess at table 13...
Symphonia can't help but turn green at that point and pass out, leaning to fall over on Chung in the process- also knocking over the napkin dispenser.

Wang Chung whipped an arm around Symphonia's abdomen, not grabbing her hard enough to hurt her but still keeping a firm enough grip to prevent her falling on the floor. He caught the napkin dispenser in midair with his other hand, and placed it back on the table. Then he eased Symphonia gingerly into a nearby chair, and got up. "Can you two keep an eye on her for me?" he asked.
Without waiting for either of the women to answer -- he would have to place a tremendous amount of trust in them eventually, anyway -- he went over to the bodies and examined them carefully. "They're all dead," he reported when he got back. Then he turned to Fan. "I think we need to know who we're dealing with here," he said. "That got pretty nasty -- if those people are after you, I want to know what I'm protecting you from."

"Oh my god...you said they're dead?" Phobia put her things away and walked over to the bodies, crouching down next to the guy who gave bunny-girl the paper and location of some possible bounty.
"That was some kick. Too bad I couldn't walk around in heels like those..." She rose and came back to the table. "Should we follow them? I know a guy who can rent us some sweet rides for free. I saw that look she gave Fan. It would be best to find out who they are before something bad happens."

Symphonia was still quite out cold, peacefully sleeping in the chair that she was placed in. A small bruise would later appear on her abdomen, since she bruises like a bannana, but at the moment she was dreaming peacefully.
Her breathing was melodic, as it passed through her taught vocal chords and then through her reddened lips. A wisp of her hair, carried upon the soft breeze, slowly moved accross her face and near her mouth. As she inhaled, it got stuck in her lipstick and remained there even as she exhaled.
Her chest rose and fell with each soft breath she took, a passing patron looked at her strangely, then upon seeing Chung walked off rather swiftly. The elf remained there- sleeping soundly. Not even when a cop car pulled up with its siren blazing did she wake up.

Wang Chung looked worriedly toward the door. He knew that sometimes, in cities like this, cops could be more trouble than anything else. He gave a warning glance to someone who was looking at Symphonia, then looked at the other two, still waiting for a response from Fan.
"Is this man who can get us sweet rides trustworthy?" he finally asked of Phobia.
