With a slight movement Soloman dropped to the ground, landing without a sound. He went to the bar and got himself a large bottle of whiskey, then went to a table in the far corner of the room.

With a small pop, Ziven appeared in the bar. Blue eyes scanned the room, though she realized there were only one other present beside herself. She looked to Soloman with apology and bobbed her head to him. "My apologies, I will leave if you like."

"Naw, sstay..." Soloman said, tipping an almost empty bottle of whisky to his mouth. He leaned back in the chair as he did and fell back. He laughed loudly as he held up the bottle. "I didn't spill none!"

Seeing him fall, she walked to him, worried for his well being. "Are you alright? Why are you drinking so much that you are falling over?" she asked softly, gently taking the bottle from his hand. Blue eyes stared to his own, hoping he was ok.

The air began to heat in the center of the room. Growing from comfy, to warm, to hot before a rift portal ripped itself open causing a gust of wind to blow outward from its center point. The portal showed, for a brief moment, the glorious Ninth Sphere of Phyrexia. From it a large metal leg came and planted on the ground. The very tall, very hideous, and still very metallic Phyrexian Preator Gix had arrived. The large construct began to look around through his red robotic eyes. Ziven, and some other fleshy creature he did not notice. Gix was here on a mission however. A great injury had befallen his patron. The phyrexian's did not take kindly to this act and so, they had sent their preator as somewhat of an investigator. To discover the cause of such an act. The huge metal man made his way to the only fleshy creature he recognized. Ziven. "Excuse me. But this is urgent. I need to ask you a few things. Do you have time to sit and discuss things with me?" the creature asked blinking its eyelids shut over its cold robotic eyes.

"Because I felt like it!" Soloman said, snapping his fingers. Suddenly the bottle was back in his hand, and he finished it off quickly. Then he stood, closed his eyes and took a couple of deep breaths. He looked at the large being and scouled slightly. "Phyrexian..." He said before shaking his head and going back to the bar, getting another bottle. Quietly he opened another bottle.

Somtheing was happening. Standing, she turned to face the center of the room where she soon saw Gix appear. With a somber expression, she bowed in greeting to him. Before he even spoke, she knew what he was likely there for. "Good evening Mr Gix. I was rather expecting you." she said softly to him. She looked to Soloman again before replying further. When she saw that Soloman was wandering off on his own, she neared Gix, wanting to cooperate with him and assure him there was not much to tell. "With all due respect, there is not much to discuss, I know very little of what has transpired other than what I saw here."

Hearing the other man in the room exclaim his race Gix narrowed his eyes peering them towards the man muttering "Fleshbag" under his breath as his gaze shifted back to Ziven. "Well then do tell me what you saw, what transpired. If you are not currently aware, our patron has been damaged, severely. Phyrexia will not sit idly by as the perpetrator walks free. Phyrexia must have his head on a pike or some form of justice brought upon the person who set our God into such an abysmal state. So tell me, everything, everything your eyes witnessed." Gix insisted. It was not that Phyrexia would push war on Earth no, it was clear it was one single person and Phyrexia would hunt that one single person down but if they managed to destroy a great mass of people or innocent bystanders doing so, they wouldn't much care.

"At least I don't have to be altered in order to gain my strength..." Soloman said just before beging to chug the second bottle. He obviously knew alot about things... but how much he knew was uncertain.
The young Reeve faded in atop of the rafters. He watched the people below him, interesed in what was going on.

She did not want them to hurt Titan. She did not want to tell the truth. Gradually tears formed in her eyes which soon spilled over, running down her cheeks. Taking a shallow, shuddering breath, she began to speak. "Please, leave Mr Soloman to himself, he is not part of this.
Recently a man has come here, goes by the name Titan. Some time before now, Mr Yawgmoth claimed his planet. When he arrived here, he desired to find Mr Yawgmoth. When he did, they threw several punches, Titan was victorious in their brief yet unforgettable fight.
Mr Titan asked that I watch after Mr Yawgmoth. I remained here with Fox to watch over Mr Yawgmoth as requested. In my past experiences, he has made it clear that he did not want my help. True to himself, he demanded that we stay back. When he lost consciousness, Fox took him to their room. What has happened since then, I know not."
Suddenly her expression softened, a modest smile crossing her lips as her eyes raised to the rafters.

Gix thought the display of tears on her part was futile. How odd these creatures of flesh to cry for someone. Emotions were always ones weakest point. Gix listened, yet in the end would ignore her request to leave Soloman alone. "I see. I thank you for your tale. I find it hard to believe but given the circumstances of our patron, it is the most likely scenario. I will have to check our empire's records for anyone with Titan as a name." As he finished the girl Gix's eyes narrowed and he turned to Soloman with a deathly glare. There was some movement under Gix's synthetic decaying flesh but nothing out of the ordinary happened because of it. "And yet your strength is still far inferior fleshbag. You have nothing to pride yourself upon that I cannot simply rip away from you." Gix said in a sadistically confidant voice. If there was one ego that trumped Yawgmoth, it was Gix. Unlike his patron Gix was well, a racist as far as one could be for a phyrexian. To him, all creatures aside from Phyrexians and their patron god were worthless piles of flesh and emotions that needed to be purged in order to glorify Yawgmoth and let the universe feel his ultimate vision of Phyresis come to light. If this one was going to talk back to a superior creature like Gix, then the preator had no qualms putting him in his place. Or at least, making the attempt.

"What more do you wish to know? This is the truth as I have seen it." she said softly, looking to Gix.
When he started on Soloman, she frowned a bit again. "Mr Gix, Mr Soloman is intoxicated. And the same can be said for anyone as far as ripping apart another."

Soloman smiled slightly and put the bottle down. "Oh please. I bet you that you can't even touch me, let alone rip something away." He looked at Gix, his eyes burning with a sense of superiority. There were very few battles that Soloman would ever purposfully get into, but this certain fight he was sure he could win.
Suddenly a small child landed on the bar behind Soloman, only standing at about three feet. "Soloman, go back to your drinking." He said, tapping the man on the soulder. He then looked at Gix. "Phyrexian metal-man, don't rush into a battle without being prepared... especially not with Soloman. He will out-think a being who relys on toys to fight." The boy smiled honestly, his voice even sounded as if he were just giving advice.

Gix ignored Ziven's words and focused himself solely upon the fleshy creatures that oh so careless taunted him. "Do not rush into battle without being prepared you say kid? Tell your friend, that he is the one unprepared. A humanoid brain cannot out think me. The simple electrical impulses that make your "brain" work are at least a hundred times slower than the complex electrical system that makes up my brain. His thinking speed is that of a turtle to me. And in this fairy tale, slow and steady does not win the race kid." Gix replied crossing his metallic arms over his chest plate causing a clanking sound to echo from the metal parts hitting one another. "I think. You should both listen to the girl. She, unlike the both of you, at least knows what she is talking about." Gix said with a grim smile upon his hideous face. Gix was just daring for either one of them to pick a fight with him.
