---

Black Queen has posed:
The Hellfire Club. It's a place for the elite. They come here, and it is never spoken about specifically to others. Rumors abound about the place, and many come here to indulge in the things society does not let them. Drugs, excessive alcohol, whatever happens beyond this main gathering area? Even most of the members of The Hellfire Club don't have permission to go behind those doors, instead they are in the main gathering area with their prostitures, their second wives or husbands, or just for meetings that they want to be left alone for.

From the back doors, Selene emerges in a formal red dress, and she's walking in the direction of the bar. A few people smile and say hello, and she returns the cordial behaviour but she's primarily focused on getting to that bar where her 8th century glass of wine awaits.

Echo has posed:
The stoic Echo is standing outside a group of elite mobsters as they have drinks at the bar. A tall and dark man glances back at her as Selene walks toward them, as if eyeing her position or giving her nonverbal directions to Echo.

Echo uncrosses her arms and walks into Selene's path, waiting there as she approaches the bar, just casually, not aggressive or bitchy. She crosses her arms again and lifts her chin as soon as Selene is close enough, "My boss wants me to broker a deal. Are you free?" she asks Selene, "I'm Echo and I'm with some of the ...big shots at the bar," she says vaguely.

Black Queen has posed:
There's a somewhat dismissive look to Echo, straight down her nose at the other woman, as she indicate, "I will get my drink first." And she smiles lightly before looking over at the mobsters, a sigh comes from her before she responds to Echo. "Everyone here, child, is a big shot." She grins, "That's why it is a club for the elite, after all." Definitely far more bitchy that Echo, even as she goes to move around her to get at her wine. "But please, waste my time, let us go to a private booth and talk."

Echo has posed:
Echo furrows her brow as she tries to understand where Selene is going with this conversation. She motions past her as if to indicate that she's welcome to go to bar, "Hey that's fine," she replies.

Black Queen has posed:
Grabbing up her wine, Selene then sips some of it before wondering, "I am free now." She says re-approaching Echo. "What is it that you were attempting to broker? Some kind of deal?" She asks as she looks over Maya and then again over the bosses off to the side. "Is this something we should sit for, or more actually find a meeting room or somesuch to talk other kinds of details? All sorts of deals occur here."

Echo has posed:
Echo pauses a moment and then says, "First time I been here," she states factorily. "I'm trying to get a deal for Mr. Big Shot," she states although tries to mitigate the sarcasm, "Meeting room? Don't think that's necessary. I just need to...ask you about this..." she says and her eyes wander to the side, then she looks back at Selene to make sure she catches what she says next.

Black Queen has posed:
Selene Gallio listens to the words but she strains a little bit on her face to really be understanding Echo's side glance. She waits and sips her wine, before saying, "Ask about what?" She waits to receive an answer, sipping again.

Echo has posed:
Echo stands there for a moment while Selene enjoys to her wine and doesn't interrupt her. She frowns a bit as uncomfortable as she says, "Mr. Big Shot wonders how much it would be to take you to bed," she says and then smirks amusedly, as if expecting her next comment.

Black Queen has posed:
There's a look over at Mister Big Shot, and then a look back to Echo. She sees the goofy grin and the way the guy nods his head, like he is ready, and Selene mentions, "Well, there is a cost for everything, is there not?" Selene starts, and then shakes her head a little, "Tell him, that it will cost him his soul. And I do not even guarantee that it will be very good for him... but for certain, he'll lose the only thing that is worthwhile enough to keep."

Echo has posed:
Echo squints a bit after Selene's answer and shifts in her stance, as if trying to understand what the heck this lady is trying to say, "What do you mean his soul?" she asks, "Listen, the guy is crazy. He'll do anything and say whatever he wants," she explains, "Are you refusing or what?"

Black Queen has posed:
"Let us make this easy to understand." Selene mentions, "There are whores here. Plenty of them. People he can buy to sleep with." And then she sips some of her wine, "So, if he wishes to buy something or someone with cash. He can. Of mostly any variety. To make it easy, I am most certainly refusing." She waits, to see if there's any other questions.

Echo has posed:
Echo rubs her neck as she says, "Fine whatever, kinda thought you'd say that anyway," she comments blandly, "Maybe I can shift his attention to somebody else."

Black Queen has posed:
"You seem attractive, perhaps he could hire you for that?" Selene wonders to the woman, and looks over at the group of mobsters. "Though, they really should know better. The hostess is never a servant." And she wonders, "Is there a reason why you are being so upset over this? Did you really want me to sleep with your boss?"

Echo has posed:
Echo pffts and waves her hand, dismissing Selene's suggestion for her replacement. She smirks a bit, "I'm not upset," she mutters, "I think Mr. Big Shot just wanted to see what'd you say or how you'd react," she explains to Selene, "I can't figure out what he thinks sometimes."

Black Queen has posed:
"Well, you can tell him that if he's testing me. He's getting on my nerves. If he's wasting my time, he's getting on my nerves. And if he's really trying to proffer, then he's getting on my nerves. In any situation, if he is this foolish again in the future. Let him know, his membership will be revoked, and so will any family members, into the future." She says and sips at her wine casually, smiling, "Selene, by the way. Owner, head of, this fine establishment that you and your Boss are in."

Echo has posed:
Echo lets Selene lecture her without smirking or backtalking afterward, "Alright Selene," she tells her, "I'll tell him what you said," she comments and then adds, "Guess that's it," she says blandly.
