She glances up occasionally and glances about the car. Yssini Visit: A huge thud rumbels the whole warehouse and a ceiling window opens. A woman in a hard crystal dress floats downward. The dress is clamped onto her ankles by thick blue bracers. She wears stained glass glasses and you loudly hear chewing gum snap in her mouth. A few soft thuds follow her and you watch a meatball with appendages follow her down as well as a girl with a long skirt that billows out to reveal biking shorts under it.Her outfit matches color with the woman. "Just check in on things here and then we'll stop by Lup's club after." Yssini the woman says. "Alright momma. You don't have to go to the club with me"
"I want to, I got the best gith the last time I was there." Woman responds. They continue to talk about operations and the club.

Upon returning the original warehouse it will be fully open and a dozen skeletons guard the door. On the inside, you hear yelling and arguing then follow by flashes and screams. Yssini stands there."This place, Wisconia. It is an anomaly here on Potestatem. It disgusts me with its stuff and things. You are all here for no reason but power, wealth, progress. All wastes away, you may be cute and squishy but you're running my cycle of death I have going here." She raises all of the employees as undead around him. I have cut those who wish to poison you. I will take my leave. She gazes upward and her eyes flash a deep ambrosia orange. She floats upward.
