Jack found himself a seat elsewhere ordered himself a strong drink.  Fubuki was not his friend, he had no reason to share a table with her.  They just happened to share a ride is all.  

It was a precaution that had to be taken, just in case someone did happen to be watching the duelist.  There was no reason to give them anything to work with.  Jack was certain that she would understand.  

In the meantime, though, there was much to observe.  Duel monsters running all around, too and fro.  In this, something occurred to him.  As the time wizard dropped a glass of whiskey and soda in his hand, Jack had to ask himself, "Where are all the people?"

Sure the hard-light holograms were a neat gimmick, and surely they would impress most who entered the hall, but surely there was a human staff somewhere running the show.

So, then, where the hell were they?

Jack made note of this thought and finished his drink in a single loud gulp.
