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! ]]

"Not everyone here has," he reassures her, patting her on the arm. "He's a very busy man, as I'm sure you can imagine. But he keeps an eye on things in here, and he's sure to make time for you if you've got something of interest to him."

They're all playing a game, after all, aren't they? Every move has meaning.

[seduceme]

She pouts her full, red painted lips and tucks some of her blonde hair back for good measure. "But how do I know what will interest him if I've never met him? I was hoping to at least see something of this mystery man here... not that the present company is undesirable."

A wink and a light 'accidental' bump of her hip to his for good measure, just to keep the man from thinking she's only after him for information.

[the_black_king]

The man shrugs, with a confident smile.

"Well, that's something to put your mind to. Keep an eye on the crowd here for long, and you'll start to see the sort of things he finds useful."

[seduceme]

"That sounds promising," she answers with a hum, then smiling coyly at him over her cocktail. "Or perhaps you could steer little old me around? I could use a little 'help' from a professional."

[the_black_king]

"Couldn't we all?" he chuckled, to a chorus of quiet laughter from the people around him.

But she did seem charming, and he did have time. What could it hurt? He offered her his arm. "In that case, miss, it would be my pleasure to be your guide for the evening."

[seduceme]

"You're too kind," was the purred response as she slid her hand through the crook of his arm, giving a gentle squeeze. "It's good to see some people can still be decent."

[the_black_king]

He seemed quite used to leading a woman that way, arm in arm, one hand resting lightly on top of hers.

"Manners, despite the impression some might give, never do go out of style."

[seduceme]

"Truer words have never been spoken," she agrees with a smile that's positively radiant.

[the_black_king]

"So, my dear. There's an awful lot to see here -- where would you like to begin?"

[seduceme]

"Oh, I wouldn't know where to start. Lead the way and I'll follow?"

[the_black_king]

"As you like, as you like..."

He led her in a sweeping arc, giving her a wide view of the main hall, with its high ceilings and glamorous guests.

"As you can see, the Black King gathers all sorts to him -- the best and the brightest in a vast variety of fields, from all over the world."

It seemed like he might go on a while in that vein...
