The main concourse of the mall was a lavish space. The walls were all glass, though much of it was tinted to make the modern design provide privacy for the stores. The crowd was gathered at the main entrance to the mall, and a stage had been constructed on the marble floor. Above the stage was a gigantic screen, that seemed to be a permanent fixture, but was only showing the MZ Global logo, spinning lazily around.<br/><br/>Drinkers were being circulated, though the time for the ceremony had not yet arrived, when the screen suddenly shifted, showing a video, now, of the completed tower with a flaming female voice-over.<br/><br/>"Welcome, to the grand opening of the MZ Global, Grand Mall. Sitting atop the East Tower of the MZ Global complex, the Grand Mall is a testament to the pioneering efforts of engineers, modern science, and MZ Global companies, to bring you the very best in luxury..."<br/><br/>The image suddenly shifted to a pair of red-headed twins, both wearing simple black dresses, and smiling, side by side.<br/><br/>"Please join us, in welcoming the Chairman of MZ Global, Ken Iwasaki..."<br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://i43.tinypic.com/2cnziv7.jpg)</div>The screen changed to a camera shot of the podium, which Ken Iwasaki, the Chairman, and public face of MZ Global, had taken his place. The applause was what one would expect. It subsided quickly as, no doubt, almost everyone in the crowd cared more about what he had to say, than they did about his celebrity status.<br/><br/>"Welcome, everyone," he said, microphones that could not be seen picking up his voice and transmitting it via. The mall's internal sound system.<br/><br/>"I am here, at the opening of this, Grand Mall, because I believe that MZ Global will introduce a new kind of luxury. Malls are the showcases of the world, and this, is the greatest one of all. The Grand Mall will be the first of its kind in design, variety, and comfort. Every store at the Grand Mall is the work of an artisan. Chocolatiers, jewellers, even cars, motorcycles, and pleasure craft, just don't expect to drive them off the lot."<br/><br/>He smiled, a rather charming smile at that, and waited for the laughter which had broken out to subside.<br/><br/>"However, most importantly, the Grand Mall will be launching the MZ Global Luxury Service Line. All of the workers at the grand mall, every cashier, every bank clerk, every model, and every one of our charming and helpful guides, are slaves, and all of them, are for sale."<br/><br/>The whisper going around the room was audible. The hush the fell over the crowd was heavy, as they waited for his next words.<br/><br/>"Further, MZ Global, will be extending this policy to all of its operations in Horizon City. MZ Global Slaves will now have, As an update to their name-tags, a price-point, and training on how to direct anyone who wishes to, to a MZ Gloal retail representative who can process their purchase. While only front-line slaves in our other industries will be open for purchase, the Global Mall will represent the finest that we have, and will ensure that, if you like what you see, it can be yours."<br/><br/>Ken, for the first time, turned to his left, and moved to the ceremonial ribbon, stretched across the mall, side to side, at waist height for him, and above of the heads of the crowd. Quickly handed a pair of scissors, he cut the ribbon, and let it fall to the floor.<br/><br/>He stepped back to the podium, and gave a short bow to the crowd.<br/><br/>"As always," he said, "a celebration by MZ Global isn't complete until we have offered something truly unique. I give you...Sarah, and Victoria..."<br/><br/>The twins, shown on the video, stepped forward, both still wearing their short black dresses, with an arm around each other's waist.<br/><br/>"Once again, welcome, please enjoy the Grand Mall."<br/><br/>Ken stepped back from the podium, and greeted the first of the guests to come up. He would, no doubt, remain for some time. As both Chairman and spokesperson, he was expected to meet with the public at such events.<br/><br/>The twins, Sarah, and Victoria, moved off the stage, to the centre of the mall, where they had their own platform. This one was far more similar to that of a showcar. The video screens, including the large one, we're all showing them, detailing their training like a documentary. At their own platform, small interactive screens showed the same. The two of them, as a unit, were to be sold to the highest bidder, in an auction that would be opening, according to the video, in fifteen minutes.
