OOC: I know this is an older piece of property, from days most here probably haven’t seen. But I’m reusing it, temporarily. If you look in the Oed Brochure, you can see a brief description of it. Pretty basic. Its a lounge where all sorts of mischief have the possibility to take place. You typically wouldn’t find many officials here, unless it was for some form of entertainment that they enjoyed. Not to say they can’t show up, but you may want to consider a reason for them showing up, besides “Hey this looks interesting.” :P

Anyone and all are welcome to join, either with a character they are playing or a made up NE. This takes place at the beginning of LACUNA.

IC: It hadn’t taken long for Tetul Nadan to find the lounge he had been told about by a former colleague. “Check the place out when you get there, its pretty epic!” were the words Tetul had last heard from him. They had parted ways when he left for Oed, but he understood the man’s interest in the place now.

As a new dancer made her way to the stage, Tetul went to the bar and ordered a light drink. He wasn’t here to get drunk. No, he was here to get to know the people. Unfortunately for him, people were attracted to a stand offish man with at least mildly good looks. His short dark hair was nothing overtly new or unusual. However, his vibrant green eyes made him stand out. It was all the fault of genetics, so he wasn’t about to complain about it. He stayed out of sight, but within sight others. He didn’t stare, no. He was a man of observation. And it was there he remained sipping on his drink in thought.

An unusual group entered the Fire & Ice Lounge. Led by a tall thin human at least in his mid-sixties, he wore an expensive looking bespoke suit and carried himself like a man of means. His entourage was a short stocky Andorian man in his twenties and a Tall athletic Orion Woman somewhere between the two men in age. The Andorian wore clothes typical of a young man going out on the town, fashionable and tight fitting. The Orion was more conservative in her clothing, choosing a simple jacket and dark pants. They looked around the room with interest before being led to a private table. The leader stayed between the others and talked at them like a teacher would to his pupils. “You see this is the sort of diverse entertainment we’re missing at Twilight, whilst we have dancers and music and drinks they have entertainment,” He said with a smile on his face. The younger man seemed enamoured by the dancer on the stage “Charming for sure, especially lacking your Paranoia” The Woman said as she scanned the room “Although your brand of Paranoia does give a better sense of security than this place” She spoke firmly but not without a hint of humour. The man laughed at her comment, perhaps a bit louder than was to be expected.

A moment later a waiter brought them drinks, a simple opaque glass for the Orion, a light blue daiquiri for the young man and a dark liquid for the leader. Then three tall glasses and a bottle of what was presumably champagne of some sorts. A single pop! later all glasses were full and the group clinked their glasses together and said an unintelligible cheer.

The Visitors Three

Not long after their arrival, a younger looking Orion woman showed up dressed to the point of showing little skin, but plenty of curves. She sat down at the bar to order a drink. She merely sat there, not interacting much with anyone. She eyed the entertainment and then her beverage. Was she waiting for someone? It was anyone’s guess.

The CIO couldn’t risk being seen too much, but he was building up a noteworthy book of contacts. A man named Lawrence Collier entered the Fire & Ice lounge. With a criminal record as long as a person could imagine and actively wanted by the OED civilian police, he didn’t have much room to argue with Nicholas.
}Don’t screw this up.]
{I’ve been an informant before, I’ll keep a low profile]
Looking like a beleaguered man in need of something stronger than synthehol, he sat down at the bar, a few seats away from the Orion, ordered a drink and quickly typed.
{I count four. Three in a group, one alone.]
}Anything out of place?]
{The three seem to be celebrating. Drinks and champagne. Loner is either waiting for someone or wants to be left alone.]
}Watch for new entrants.]

It was at this time a well dressed Ferengi came in alone looking around. Trying to not look like he was looking for possible Associates but was looking and eyeing up people in the Lounge. He went to a booth near the far wall so he could see anyone that walked in and about 3/4 of the Lounge. He was near the restrooms as well. He picked up a drink menu and began looking.

Ferengi, but which one?

{Ferengi. At least upper middle class. Picked a vantage point booth. Sized everyone up when he came in.]
}Name? Any sort of ID?]
{Nothing. Civilian clothes, hasn’t talked to anyone.]
}Probably not what you’re watching for. But he’s liable to watch everyone and know too much.]
{Get rid of him?]
}Not yet.]
Lawrence took a sip of his drink. He was growing uncomfortable with being Nicholas’ pawn.

Now that the noise of the group of three had died down a little and the older man had placed on a pair of spectacles he became more recognizable. Johann Karlson, businessman and older brother of the Police Commissioner. The older man was recognized mostly as a name, not a face but there were some of the staff that whispered his name in surprise. He looked across the room, staring for a moment the Ferengi and smiled in recognition and continued his scan until he noticed the Orion woman and looked at her for a moment out of curiosity then his eyes turned to Lawrence Collier. His inquisitive eyes stopped and stared through the man with no hint of recognition or any reaction at all as if he stared straight through him. Then a moment later reaction to the music and his surroundings returned and he moved his eyes passed the man as if nothing had happend. He laughed at something the young man said and took a sip from his drink.
