Hellfire Club: The Mission [CLOSED]

[astonishing_xmods]

WHO: Nightcrawler and those selected for the mission.
WHAT: The Hellfire Club infiltration mission
WHERE: Manhattan
WHEN: Late evening
WARNING(S): Could get violent.

Team One was already on the ground, infiltrating the party. The rest waited in silence aboard the Blackbird, hovering in complete stealth mode high above the island. Back at the Institute, Professor X closely monitored the communications of the team, ready to give the signal when ready...

It was go time.

[[ OKAY HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING TO GO.

Top levels will be going up for each mission phase. Each phase will, OOCly, go on simultaneously so no one has to wait for another team to complete their task. Players have freedom to play as they like, but the mod characters in each team (Feliks, Shindou, Reimu) will most likely lead the action in the direction it's intended to go. The mod account will pop in for NPCing every now and again.

Have fun! ]]

"I'm feeling a little overwhelmed, I think. If anything, I think I need a guide."

Said so shamelessly but, in the end, she was acting. But group activities weren't exactly up her alley, spending most of her time by herself. So she'd keep her ears open, take advice and hope for other things to come along with it.

The woman led Palutena by the arm to a quieter corner near a roaring fireplace, all but sweeping her into a richly upholstered chair.

"You're a new face?" she asked, without really asking, leaning lightly on the arm of the chair opposite her.

[knowitallgoddess]

She gasped lightly, faking it a bit. She thought she did a pretty good job with it but sat nonetheless.

"Is it that obvious? I hope not for everyone will laugh at me."

[the_black_king]

"Well, most regulars don't get 'overwhelmed' too easily," the woman pointed out, with an easy shrug.

"Anyway, don't listen to them if they do. Ain't a one of them who hasn't been there before, whatever they want to act like."

[knowitallgoddess]

"No point in trying to point that out though." This wasn't so hard! "Since it's polite society, they won't yell at you but the looks are pretty withering! A little like this..."

She does her best impression, curling up her lips in fake disdain.

[the_black_king]

The woman laughed, loud and bright.

"Exactly like that," she agreed, standing to go to a nearby liquor cabinet and fetch herself a glass. "You want anything to take the edge off, sugar?"

[knowitallgoddess]

"Just a little bit of wine, if you have it."

This was...absolutely illegal in America. But in Greece, people of any age could drink alcohol as long as it was in a private situation. Really, Palutena missed the taste of a good wine, being quite bereft for many years while attending school across the pond.

[the_black_king]

If the woman suspected she wasn't of age, she didn't say a word about it. Instead, she produced a decent French red wine and a proper glass for it from the cabinet, handing the glass over to Palutena.

"Cheers!"
