Carnivorous: Part 3 (The Lost Supper)

"What is she doing?" Asked the younger lady in irritation. "Oh that one? Yes she does the most, for sure. You know what they say about empty barrels. But we let her get away with it, or so it seems. The thing is, she really started out as a 'tester'. You know the ones who are always willing and ready, to try out everything. They often posses an insatiable need, to belong to the 'inner circle'. You invite her to some secret meetings and debauched gatherings, because for one; She will do anything. And secondly, you can use her as a gauge for public opinions and reactions to the results of these gatherings.

As the 'free' agent continued her theatrics. A very well known politician, hurried past. Her accomplice/assistant, in tow. "Is that....?" "Yes it is. They are headed to the VIP section." Right behind them, came a bespectacled older man. He was clutching a folder of emails, labeled: 'Pastas, Pizzas and Pool Parties'. Behind him, came the other once powerful politician. "Is that also...?" "Oh yes indeed, that is the audacious one. And the actor next to him, is a frequent accomplice, in the services we offer." Sometimes he flies to these meetings and other times, he goes by boat." The younger woman nodded.

The great ball room, was in a grand spaceship structure. The decor was as luxurious, as the meal was lavishly spread. The sitting area, was divided in two levels. With the very vip people, in the upper level. Also in the upper level, was a mounted/hanging performance stage. Their prominent status, had afforded them special entertainment, while they dined. How best to engage, some of the most well known and self-deified entertainers and public figures.

The younger woman recognized most of the people on her table, by their fame and/or position. Every now and then, she would laugh at a passing joke and/or smile at a random comment. She was transfixed, by the pronounced opulence, of her surroundings. Most especially, that of the upper level. It was a tempting and enviable sight, to behold. In fact, watching the upper level. Became like the entertainment, for the lower level. She also noticed, that the commotion guest, had ended up in the vip section also. Donning nothing more than, a beautiful lingerie set and vulture wings.

It was either the clinking glass, that got her attention. Or it was the voice. But something made her turn abruptly, towards the hosting area. "Welcome, welcome! Most distinguished and honored guests!" The young woman stared in confusion. It was the same voice, that had explained everything to her. Until they had gotten separated, to their different sections. At least, that's what she thought. But now, she was looking at a strange man....
