---

Blackout has posed:
Found at the bar, the black, muscular and faceless form that is Blackout has his elbows on the bar, hunched over a mug of half drunk beer. If anyone was watching when he drank, a mouth hole would open in his costume and he would down the liquid. Otherwise, Blackout's costume is flat, non reflective black, absorbing all light that strikes it.

Venom has posed:
     Strikingly large, a blonde haired man makes his way into the Bar With No Name. A black leather jacket shines in the lights, as Eddie Brock pulls up a barstool, taking a couple Hershey's Kisses from the jacket and popping them in his mouth. "Beer." He says, slapping some cash over. He looks to Blackout and nods, luckily the symbiote was in clothing mode right now.

Blackout has posed:
Deke, the bartender will oblige and slide the beer mug over to the Venom, takes the cash.

Blackout looks over to the new arrival and gives a nod. His voice is heard behind the mask as he notes, "Sup?" in greeting. And then looks around, more behind Venom just in case there are others who may be closing in to ambush and Venom is just the decoy (or leader). Then he'll look back to his own mug, take it in his darkforce gloved left hand, will again drink from it, finishing the rest.

Venom has posed:
     "Back in town, gotta get our bearings again. City's gotten softer since we left." A healthy drink from the mug, before Eddie sighs contentedly. "It's disgusting really."

Blackout has posed:
The flat screen to the left of the bar shows a commercial for Damage Control and how they are happy to clean up the city after recent devistation. Girls who entertain are mingling among the various villains of the establishment. Someone breaks and the two ball goes into the left side pocket. Others grumble about the lucky shot.

Blackout says, "We? You got a friend in your pocket?" He then glances over to the nearby side pocket of the jacket that Venom wears and says, "Yellowjacket? You in there?" Then he smirks and looks to Deke to slide the mug in the direction of the bartender so there will be refreshments.

Venom has posed:
     The jacket starts to shiver a bit, before the side of the jacket starts to grow itself. "No, it's not Yellowjacket." He offers, before downing the rest of the mug, before the jacket closes and envelopes all but the head of Eddie Brock, now showing the spider symbol on their chest.

Blackout has posed:
Blue Streak rolls through the bar toward the 'facilities', disappears into the men's room. Deke fills Blackout's glass and slides it back. The Gladiator <original, not Shi'ar> tosses a dart into the board appearing bored. Blacklash idly checks the merc board for a lucrative job. There's some rumblings from downstairs as a match comes to a dreadful close and someone who was favored to win, loses - along with a lot of money.

Blackout's eyes would be seen as wider if he had eyes on his mask. But, there's a clear reaction of shock when he sees the Venom's true nature and a whispered, "Whoa" from behind that black mask. Blackout says, "Bad ass, Venom." and then he'll offer his right gloved hand in the offering of a handshake opportunity, "Good to meet ya, I'm Blackout."

Venom has posed:
An eerie double voice rings through the bar. "We are so enthused to meet you." Said in a genuine tone. "Deke! Give us another!" This time, the money is pulled from Venom's chest. "Now, Blackout, what do you do?" Seems Venom is a bit more jovial when they are together.

Blackout has posed:
Deke slides another over to Venom.

Blackout withdraws and then forms a black darkforce ball in his hands. His voice answers from behind the mask, "I create and control this stuff. It's called Darkforce. And with it, I steal stuff and get into things I shouldn't. Then again, isn't that what everyone in this bar does?"

Venom has posed:
     "We like this idea...we may have an opportunity for you soon." Venom says with a laugh. "What is your opinion on high explosives?" Before a swig on the new mug of suds.

Blackout has posed:
"Loud, noisy, but very effective. Anyway... I gotta catch up with you later on." Blackout states in an agreeable tone. "I gotta hit the head and then get ready for a job." He downs some of the beer from the new mug, leaves some bills on the bar, and slides off the stool. He'll depart leaving Venom to his own devices.
