---

Harley Quinn has posed:
The place: Underground in an old abandoned railway tunnel's work area. It's been setup as a kind of construction site with Joker's henchmen busy at work. They've got construction hats on, those orange vests with the bright reflectors, headlamps, standing bright lamps, etc. It really looks like it's a full on site, and there's machinery equipment sounds going off in the distance - none at this planning grounds. The henchmen look a little goofy because they otherwise have spiked hair, some look like mafia members with pinstriped suits, others crazy rockers, some goths, an assortment of clown-faced wannabes, and even some folks who are still wearing Arkham prison, er... patient clothing.

Amidst all of this, at the table, is Harley Quinn. She's got a serious expression on her face as she stares at what amounts to Blue Prints. She's flipping through them from time to time, she's got a charcoal pencil and a separate eraser for charcoal, and she's drawing on the plans as she sips some fuzzy bubbly kool-aid concoction that sits next to her.

A small call out has been made by Harley to those she knows who have skillz so that they can help her with this - the Biggest Most Important Caper of her life.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene's there in her coat with her Death Dealers at her back...and sides as she's got skills. Her and Harley's goals align nicely. Harley wants this big score. Selene wants to join in to figure out about the missing artifacts.....so Selene stands silently there, just watching. Finally she speaks. "You asked for my coven's helpp?" she asks and her voice is a mix of European accents, her voice a sultry purr. "Yes, I can help, please tell me what you're aiming for" she says and takes a pace toward the desk.

Harley Quinn has posed:
With Selene being closer she can tell that all of the serious drawings are pictures of stick figure cats, goofy faces used to circle locations and she mentions. "Alright. This 'ere is the deal. See?" She's doing her best Al Capone, "I got this score, see, and now yer gonna help." A pause as she flips to a third page in to the group of them.

Tapping her finger on a face she mentions, "From this here clown with spikey hair, we need ta get product moved on the inside. Under the cover of night ta the hole in the floor, see, over here at the cat, or cow, thing." A pause and she speaks in her Harley voice, "I ain't too sure now, this is my third day up." And she taps her drink, "180 proof sugar ta fizzy pop ratio. Gotta stay alert."

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene looks amused, "So. You want these people?" she asks gesturing around. "To move product? Alright, Where's 'here' then?" she asks and peers at the pictures. "So....you are aware I can move quickly, and my Death Dealers are ready for a fight if needed, right? What specifically do you need us to do??B?# Selene asks, thinking like a leader and a fighter.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Twirling her pencil about, Harley hmmms and thinks a moment, then draws a line. She arches it through the room. "There's gonna be resistance see. Though if we can move lots of these boxes we can get it all through the floor and back to this here staging ground." And she looks up at Selene, squinting her eyes, "This stuff's gonna be hot, heated, sought after. And once yer in, see, yer in." Her expression has her go from squinting her left eye to squinting her right eye as she looks at the vampire woman.

"I've got security at every corner, see. Denoted by these wizard hats with stars, 1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, 4. Gonna be tough to get by them, that's why we're going underground. Once inside, there's security cameras to contend with, see?" And she's pointing out these eyes with eyelashes she's drawn on the blueprints. "How much can yer boys lift? These boxes are gonna be heavy, see, hard ta carry. Could drive a forklift, but that's loud and slow."

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene concentrates for a moment and moves as fast as she can, a blur as she's across the room then back to the desk and staring at the blueprints and drink. Maybe, just maybe there's a connection between the sugar with water, and the blueprints? Well then. Selene tilts her head and nods. "I can do that" she says and smiles. "I'm sure I can task one of my people to take out the cameras" she says gently and nods, "Or to get past security. We can lift a lot, but we may need help" she explains with a questioning look.

Reaching into her coat Selene swallows a vial of blood and puts the vial back in her coat with a smile. "So.....what's in the crates? Our goals align, Miss...." she nods. "I have my own reasons for wanting those crates, too. Or what's in them"

Harley Quinn has posed:
Seeing the blur, Harley nearly falls backwards, well, she does fall backwards, in her chair. It hits the ground but she's rolling and on her feet rather quickly in one smooth motion ready to move. But, Selene's back to standing nearby the desk and Harley clears her throat, "Yer pretty darn tootin' fast." And walks forward, a quick, easy flick upwards of her foot like someone using a hacky sack, and the chair comes upright, in a smooth motion where it lands on all fours without rocking or wanting to tip forward.

"Well, I can move crates fer sure, but I ain't no where near as fast as you an' yer fellers." She doesn't sit back down, instead she hunches over the blueprints and then takes a big swig of her fizzy pop drink, and sets it back down. "Weapons, the likes of which ya ain't never seen. Hundreds of 'em. Thousands, maybe. Ain't too sure on the total inventory, but I know there's weapons. An' were all gonna need it. That Punisher fella is after me, an' I need ta load up. Be ready. Make sure Mistah J ain't caught in no cross fire, come out the other end the winner, an' show'im I'm there ta protect him always. No matter whats."

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene listens carefully sounding uneasy and worried by the whole plan. She's uneasy about stealing weapons for Harley. And doubly so about arming people to go up against the Punisher, mind. That trick with the chair is neat mind....but Selene's studying the blueprints though. Selene looks worried. "Hold on. You want to fight the Punisher, with guns, and bullets, and want to protect Mr J?" Selene asks shaking her head. "Why? What'd he do to you?" she asks. She's got her answers as to what's in the crates. Not the stuff Selene's looking for, really. Selene looks over the blueprints again....but she doesn't say a thing. Instead she's waiting on Harley to explain more. Plus, Selene's not about to tell Harleyy to her face this is a stupid idea, really. The Hungarian vampiress has tact.

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Better'n guns an' bullets." Harley's eyes get bigger as she grins slowly, "Better'n protection... heh heehhe heeeeehheheheh!" She lets out a small little cacklish giggle while staring at the blueprints. Then she looks up slowly toward Selene and tilts her head to the side. That big smile, wide eyes, and her head tilted just screams unhinged for most, maybe just normal for Harley. And she mentions, "Well, he's been comin' after me. Eventually he'll be comin' after My Puddin'. May have already. But there ain't no one allowed ta murder him ..." A pause, "'Cept me. Of course, if he ever was disloyal or somethin'. Tear his face right off, but mine! Ya got that?! MINE!" Shifty eyes, looking around quickly, before she lets out a playful giggle, "Not that yer after him or nothin'. But, gotta be safe."

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene steps forward at the cackle and clicks her fangs. "So you want a war with somebody who comes after what's yours?" she asks carefully, making sure she's got this right. You're going after somebody like the Punisher. You sure you want to do that?" Selene asks and steps back. "If you don't mind, I'm going to recon the area right now. It doesn't make sense delaying now, does it?" Selene asks as she steps back and doesn't turn her back on Harley or anyone else. She's backing her way to the door. She's wanting to recon this and think things over, too....going into a war she can't win, when she's already in a war with the lycans....not smart. But she's got intel....

Harley Quinn has posed:
"Recon?" Harley questions and shrugs her shoulders, "It's a warehouse in the Narrows, a drop off point fer stuff before it gets distributed throughout the local region." She smiles and offers a bit of a shrug. "I'll be here, there's still some tunnelin' that needs to get done. Ain't wanna do it out on the roads or nothin'. That jus' seems like it'll make fer trouble, but we're almost done, a lil' light blastin' and then... all good fer takin' what's ours!" She nods her head a few more times, and gulps down the rest of the fizzy pop.

And she does respond to the question though, "I'm jus' doin' what I would do fer anyone I loved with every molecule of my very bein'." With that she smiles off to Selene, "Wouldn't you?"

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
"Yes. I would" Selene says. "If who I love hadn't died 500 years ago" she adds bitterly and looks cold and heartlessly at Harley. "You're right before you say it. I don't know love. You're perfectly right to say I don't know love. I know war, and death, and chaos, and destruction." she adds, her hand on her coat. "Now if you don't mind...I will go scout the area and get back to you, alright?" she asks and looks uneasy. "I'm not happy bout this plan but since you're calling the shots.....I'll see what I can do" she says softly, looking worried. With that she steps back again, intending to head up the tunnel. Selene will scout things, and.....get back to Harley with what she's finding. Mostly since Selene's in this now....and.....she's absolutely trouble and dangerous in the wrong hands, too.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley doesn't stop Selene from leaving and getting the specific address for the location. It's easy to get to and highly noticeable. It's a completely unmarked, or at least any signifiers of who owns it has long since worn away in the Narrows. The building on the outside looks completely old, a bit run down, though functional. With a few glimpses into the inside from higher up windows, or as doors open and shut for some security folks who patrol the fenced in area, it's easy to tell that the insides are pretty newish. Lots of remodeling has been done, at least for a warehouse.

The security guards look rather normal, a gun and taser with them, they are wearing chest covering bullet resistant vests, but they aren't wearing full on kitted out military type gear. They have an electrified 15' tall fence around the perimeter of the landscape, a loading dock for drop offs and pickups, as well as a decent distance around the building itself. Making it so there's no 'out-of-sight' kind of alleys. This is all in a part of the Narrows that is actually going through some gentrification, trying to bring back healthy normal people with middle class jobs, make it safe-ish and maybe run out the ilk.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene looks normal...for her trade as a Death Dealer and reconissance volunteer. Still though, she's hanging back, watching and waiting and figuring out what's what. The Death Dealers that joined her are also hanging back....if anything they're pretending to be lost. Better to try to blend in really than get anyone's suspicions. Then....in a blur, Selene moves. A throwing star thrown at one guard's throat, her gun in the other hand and she's snapped around to shoot toward the other guards, and moves in a blur after shooting. The perks of being Selene. She's moved and pushed herself to her limit. She was by the fence. She's now....not.

Harley Quinn has posed:
There's 4 guards in total on the premise doing patrols. When the first is taken down by a gush of blood from his neck... caused of course by that throwing star, the next guard is about to pull his taser gun and gets shot by bullets. He drops, it won't actually take long if Selene moves around the building at superhuman levels of speed to take out every guard that's in the building. Since, there's only 4.

There's one smoking on the other side of the building, and there's one who's checking out the roof. They are easy prey for someone like Selene. Maybe there are more guards inside the place? Or maybe there are automated defenses, from the way Harley was talking about the security and drilling underground and all that. This is pretty lightweight so far - then again she's not a gang of death dealers.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene sweeps around the side at superhuman speed, her Death Dealers stripping the guards of their armor and weapons to take home, then going up to the roof. Selene herself hurls another throwing star at the smoking guard. "Smoking kills" she adds as the star leaves her hand and she's gone in a blur. the Death Dealers open up on the guard checking the roof, too....as Selene's more than happy to bring up the rear of the move. She's confident in her Death Dealers. But she'll lead the assault inside.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Once inside it is quiet. Because it's night time and there doesn't seem to be anyone else here. In fact, a quick zip around the warehouse will show that to be the case. These night guards were all the people present. There are lots of crates, big ones, with various serial numbers of the sides. Forklifts for moving the crates around, and the 4ish stories of a building are really just stacked industrial shelving to hold many of these large and seemingly heavy crates full of whatever it is that Harley is after.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene takes a leasuirely stroll around. She's put out word for another Death Dealer to join them, and bring a camera to take pictures and record everything. As in, actual proof for Miss Quinn. It's....insurance really as Selene's thinking ahead. Her Death Dealers have left her alone in the warehouse to take the 'acquired' equipment back and bring more cameras. Actual old fashioned video cameras. Selene's got this....and she's not touching a thing. Instead, she's got five or six cameras with her group, each recording a different section of the warehouse. Hopefully, Harley's got a VCR when it comes to looking over the tapes....

Harley Quinn has posed:
It can take as long as Selene really wants, there's not much going on in this place. It is quiet, at least now. And in this neighborhood there's not a lot of other things going on other than these warehouses. The Crates do have a lot of Chinese words on the side of them. If Selene or any of the Death Dealers read Chinese then it's easy to make out the symbols. These are all manufacturer names of things, so they don't link directly back to any particular product or weapons maker. It's just big factory names and city names, so clearly where the crates have come from. This looks like it is a holding facility before the crates get shipped out.

Some of what's recorded are manifests. A clipboard hangs by each crate with the date it was delivered and the day it will ship out. From easy viewing the majority of things will ship out in the morning and only arrived yesterday. Looks like they move product out really fast.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene looks around and can indeed make out what's legible on the crates, she's making sure every square inch of the warehouse is recorded, but.....she's smart and making sure this is all documented for Harleyy, really....as Selene opens the loading bay door once the cameras are off. "Time to go" Selene whispers once the cameras were off. "Wonder if we need to spend all night moving this stuff to somewhere safer?" she asks, getting an idea. "Tell ya what" one Death Dealer says. "Keep it in our place"

Selene nods. "Good idea" she says and leaves the Death Dealers to organize this little trip.

Harley Quinn has posed:
The Death Dealers go about arranging things. They get a Box Truck (stealing, renting, however they want to do it) and drive it up to the loading docks. It's probably quicker than a normal human loading these things, but for the most part there's a lot here. It will take a few trips. Since there are multiple Death Dealers, there's likely a few forklift operators and a few drivers. It is by no means quiet, but it's a district where people aren't really going to bother asking questions.

It will take a few hours to clear out most of the larger crates, it'll take till morning to have the warehouse completely empty. However they want to do it, they can, and stuff will be stored back at whatever location Selene wants them to store it at.

Meanwhile, Harley Quinn is still working diligently underground with her hard hat on, the FizzyPop drinks she's been downing to keep awake, and now the blueprints have so many drawings on them that it's hard to make out details of the warehouse any longer.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene is all set to clear out the warehouse. Morning's rolling around and Selene's finally got everything stored at the Semira Estate, her home and fortress. She's sent a runner to get a hold of Harley, inviting her over to inspect the crates herself. Or sleep. Or whatever it is Harley does. Sleene's done recon and decided to 'borrow' the weapons. It's enough to arm her Death Dealers several times over, the box truck used for carrying them burned out and dumped in the river. Selene's hiding away from the light. Her human people though are around, making the house feel lived in.

Harley Quinn has posed:
There isn't a lot of weaponry from the guards. But it's in the hands of the Death Dealers now. There wasn't armor so-to-speak, just those bullet resistant vests. Their pistols, tasers, and club are all in the hands of the Death Dealers now though. And then Harley gets one of the Death Dealers to come and visit her.

There's a bit of a kerfluffle as Harley isn't sure who this person is, and she gives him the eyes, and 'interrogates' him with overly personal questions about Selene that he likely knows some of but others are just way to personal. And Harley wouldn't even know if he were lying, "Which way does she unroll toilet paper? How does she paint her toe nails, from left ta right, right ta left? Does she do it in swirls?!!?!" But after a bit of crazy talking, Harley agrees to come along.

Putting away her helmet before she leaves the underground, she takes in a deep breath of the outside world, "It's nice not ta have yer lungs full of concrete dust."

And then off to the Estate. She's coming in, brushing off dirt and ash still, pretty much the whole way. And is relatively dirt free by the time she arrives. Quirking her mouth about as she comes in, she starts calling out, "Seeeeleeeeeeeeeeeene, where ya at? It's moooooornin' shouldn't ya all be awake already?"

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selenes settled in on a chair in a dark drawing room, the lights are off, the windows shuttered as Selene smiles. "In here!" she calls and a human goes to find Harley to show her the way....as Selene waves looking amused. "Hey, can I get you anything?" she asks with a smile. "A vampire's smile, too....but.....a smile.

Harley Quinn has posed:
Looking around the drawing room, Harley Quinn is darting her eyes as if looking for someone who's hidden or moving fast. And then she settles on Selene, but smiles a bit twitchily at the other woman. "So so so, yes, and so and so, an' all that good stuff. Yer here I'm here, how're the kids? Yer work doin' well?" And then she settles a bit, talking as much with her hands as she was with her mouth. Waving about, moving her fingers, even making exaggerated walking as she struts into the room being 'fancy' despite covered in dirt and in her normal getup. "Were ya able ta do the recon? Get some good tidbits of information? We're jus' about done. Jus' gonna blow a hole, an' we can pull them crates right into the ground. None the wise." She looks left, then right, then left, then back to Selene.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
"Sit" Selene says and motions for a Tv to be brought in and hooked up. The tapes from the warehouse are recorded. As is the transfer of the crates. "Sit back, watch and enjoy" Selene says with a nod. "Take a seat, Harley. And enjoy. We brought the crates and papers here so you can get them easier.There were four guards and they're ded" Selene points out with a nod. The tapes are from the Death Dealers videoing the contents of the warehouse. Several tapes in all. Then the second pile is the journey to the Semira Estate, too. Selene nods approvingly at the TV then Harley. "If you can get a big truck to take these weapons and do what you like with them....that's your call" Selene nods. "I just skipped a lot of the work and made this insanely easy. Aren't I helpful?" she asks. Translation. I'm better than you

Harley Quinn has posed:
Taking a seat, Harley puts her feet on the chair, and sits on the back of the chair that she's on, and then hangs down the backside, draping over the chair with her knees hooked over the top. She uses her hands if the chair isn't heavy enough to support her, but she watches the show upside down. And at one point laughs a bit at the trucks when they are being burned up and dumped.

With that done, she hmms, and speaks from her position where her head is nearly on the ground, "So, I jus' gotta get myself a truck? Huh. Well, that'd be a lot easier if ya hadn't of destroyed the one, but I can understand, it was pretty funny lookin'. I like burnin' things too. So, I get it, don't you worry none Miss Selene, I'll figure it out an' get these goods ta my place."

Unhooking her knees and legs she rolls onto her belly, then to her knees, then up and standing in one fluid motion. A pause and she squints at Selene, "Ya ain't stole nothin' from me did'ja?" And then she's grinning big and no longer scrutinizing the undead woman. "Ya have any of them tasers? Mine's sorta ran outta juice, an' its hard ta do home care wit' elctroshock therapy if ya ain't got a workin' taser." So, she was paying attention at least.

Selene (Underworld) has posed:
Selene grins. "Yep that's all...wait you want tasers? What about zip ties too?" she offers then tilts her head. "Okay, take the tasers and a big truck" she says with a grin. "You want the TV too and tapes?" she asks and hasn't moved an inch yet....Selene though gestures to the TV. "Figured it'd be easier" she says, "To keep the crates safe"

Translation: Come get the things on our turf

Harley Quinn has posed:
Harley Quinn shrugs her shoulders and then shakes her head, "I ain't need the TV none. Ain't a real big watcher of the boob tube." And then she's moving a bit, "Well, thanks fer gettin' these things." She starts to rub her hands together and her eyes get wide, "This'll make fer a real big surprise." And she looks around then, as if she could see the crates right now, "Where I gotta go pick everythin' up at?"
