Vega and Balrog were at a table sitting with some Tarkatans who were eating the flesh of Attila the Hun. Vega was disgusted by this. He had his mask off (revealing his handsome face) so he could daintily eat his food. Balrog, still wearing his gloves, ate his food like a "normal person". They never expected Jackie to walk to their table and slide them a folded piece of paper. After giving the "shush" sign, she went back to sit with John.

"What's that?" Balrog said with his mouth full of food.

Vega picked up the paper, unfolded it, and he and Balrog read what was written on it.

I've a plan to get the Sphere of Wonders and kill our "hosts" in the process. After dinner, I advise you to meet me at the top of the mountain where a castle is located. You'll find a few... other allies who will be joining you.

They were intrigued by how quickly this plan had been concocted since they met each other two days ago.

At another part of the mess hall, Cassie, sitting with Takeda, Kung Jin and Jaqcui, was checking her Friendships page. She was surprised to see that her selfie with 953 had gotten over a hundred likes and comments, most notably by WWE Divas and football players.

"Oh my God, this is insane!" Cassie exclaimed.

Jacqui looked at the picture and was just as shocked as Cassie was. "Huh. Not bad, Cass," Jacqui replied. "So anyway, what's the deal with that Ginger guy anyway? He was so angry when that schoolgirl almost trashed his girlfriend."

"Yeah. I mean I knew he was crazy," Jin chimed in, "but I never knew he was that defensive."

"It just comes to show ya," Takeda summarized. "Even the most psychopathic human being among us is still a human being."

"I guess you're right," Cassie said before going back to eating her ham and mashed potatoes.
