The tense silence continued on for a bit longer before the scarred woman gave a dark smile, waving her hand while regarding what appeared to be a giant bean wearing glasses. The guns in the immediate vicinity were uneasily holstered, though the snipers peering through their scopes had their sights trained on the Overlord's rather showy glowing eyes. Any sudden moves from the guy would result in armor piercing rounds being fired. Her eyes sweeping the surroundings and taking in yet more arrivals to the bar including that of a particularly small girl that reminded her of certain... children, the Russian finally spoke. "That would be interesting. This pirate den has already stolen quite a bit from the surrounding areas, from places with tech bases that are at odds with ours. Someone who could show us how it works would be a boon." Still, the woman wasn't that foolish. She would see how much benefits could be reaped through.... mutual cooperation, while keeping a close eye on the seemingly affable thing in the future should they work together.

Taking in another drag of nicotine stick, the Russian pondered for a bit before taking in the rather motley crew standing in front of her before narrowing her eyes. "And also... you seem to be important pieces in His game if you were brought here in such a way... You poor fools..." Audibly smirking now as she looked the villains over, the crime boss then smiled cruelly. "Yes, the Viewer has a vested interest in you all. The Being who created the City... And the one who brought hundreds of different fragments of the various dimensions together into giant sprawling birdcage... And the one who brought everyone, including you all, into this place. Hopefully you entertain Him more than the last lot."

"Damn, no rope..." Muttering under his breath as no one helped him tie up the psycho, Ranma muttered under his breath before glaring at the guy under his grip. "You try shooting up stuff again and I'll knock you out." Getting off the vastly bigger man, the lean martial artist then slowly followed the various people that were congregating about the train cars while giving those staying further away a brief glance. The giant garbage truck, that took more than just a second of his time as he stared dully at it. "...Okay, that's... new..."

Just when enough people were close enough to the carts did someone finally come out: [url=http://orig13.deviantart.net/7f25/f/2010/154/6/b/chao_lingshen_pactio_card_by_akumakurohasu.jpg]a teenage girl of Chinese descent and mannerisms clad in a qipao.[/url] "Hello, dear guests. Would you like to try out a bit of my humble Chao Bao Zi's menu before we discuss why you've been brought here? Or would you rather get straight to the point and find out why you've been transported to an utterly exotic place such as this?" Fanning herself and hiding her mouth, the cheerful looking girl giggled a bit, finding it fun as always to be the person who had all the answers. Glancing at the respective members of the group, she then nodded. "We can also adapt our cooking to meet most anyone's dietary needs, so don't be afraid to speak up about that. I, Chao Lingshen, am a consummate businesswoman among other things. Such things are no trouble.~"  

For his part, Ranma shot the girl a dour look before pulling out a chair and sitting down. "Give me some fried rice, extra large. I ain't much tactful, so I'll let the others question ya. They prolly know how to word things better than me, so they'll get things done better." When said platter of requested food came out in the blink of an eye piping hot and steaming, the boy almost facefaulted at how quick it was before cautiously prodding at it. After all, he's been hit with his fair share of drugs and poisons, especially in food. Finally trying a bite and ready to spit it out if necessary, he froze at just how good it was before scarfing it down in his usual manner, the party sized plate disappearing down his gullet at a speed which was quite frankly, rather ridiculous. If anything, the girl's Cheshire Cat-like grin grew even larger at this.
