Z lounge 10/22/07

[noth]

((Open for all))

Micah walked through the door of the Z Lounge and looked around, he was dressed in black, completely with a pair of dark sunglasses over his eyes. He has short cropped hair on his head and is dressed in a black trenchcoat over a black silken dress shirt and black slacks. He is built slightly larger with a very athletic build.

Micah was new to the city of calgary so didn't know anyone here yet but he would eventually get a chance to contact the others, but for the moment he was hungry and had a sudden urge to have a drink. He walked over to the bar and ordered a drink from a waitress before taking a seat off in a corner, in as much darkness as he could find. His comfort zone.

His eyes began to scan the bar seeing whos there, and making sure there were no threats to him around. He was sure he had made a few enemies that would like to catch him without any help around him.

[Ollie James]

About a minute or so after Micah took his seat, Ollie came through the main doors at a stride. Tonight her hair was pulled back into a high pony tail that left the angry, white scars that now traced both sides of her face and neck strikingly bare. As did the rest of her outfit – A low cut black top that left her arms bare and dark denim jeans. Next to the darkness of her choice of clothing, her deformity stood out boldly against her skin. As she made a B line towards the bar, she glanced around the area, taking in the many unimportant faces of the usual crowd of flesh bags that frequented this hang out.

A tall cowboy walks into the club, he looks around the club and looks around and sets himself up near the edge of the club. He keeps a view of the whole club. He keeps looking about the club, eyeing up everyone in the club. He keeps an eye on Miach and some of the bouncers.

[Cerberus]

*A large man enters the Z as discretly as possible. Wearing a very old trenchcoat. He almost seems to be following something from a distance. After a short moment of scanning the room from afar, he goes behind the cowboy and whispers something in his ears. As he does, an evil grin appears on his face*

[blakenpc]

The cowboy jerks forward as if the words hurt him. He yells "YOU think I am a fucking nigger lover, you son of a bitch" He takes a swing at Cerberus hitting him in the jaw, He takes a few more swings at the big back before Cerberus early hits him in the face breaking his nose. As the blood runs down his face, he is hit repeatively in the chest, as the last few blows land he starts to cough up more blood. He stops fighting as soon as his nose is broken. Cerberus then lifts the man up, and starts dragging the man to the door.

The entire bouncer team tackles Cerberus and the cowboy. Cerberus drops the man he was dragging and start to fight back, He hurts at least 4 of them before numbers knock him down. He trys to work his way free of them but the numbers work on there side, three of them are laying on the floor as they drag him out the door and leave him out side. They line up in front of the door and just stare at Cerverus. One of them says "I don't know what you think you were doing but that isn't wanted here buddy."

For those inside the bar the mood has taken a dark tone. The smell of blood seems to be everywhere and people are no longer dancing they seem to have groupped to gether for safety. In whispered tones they talk about the fight they just saw.

One of the bartenders has grabbed the first aid kit and is tending to the wonder cowboy. But a sense of death seems to float over him.

[Cerberus]

(by the way everyone, its CER-BER-US)

*After being tossed outside, Cerberus looks at the bouncers with a cold look and says plainly : *

-He attacked my first and I defended myself. You guys were too fucking slow to take care of it cause you pussies suck at your job. Plus I did you a favor cause THIS guy is up to no good. Trust me, if you value this establishment you will kick him out and never ...

*Cerberus stops abruptly and with eyes wide open. His heart stops to beat for a second which seems to be an eternity. He takes a look at his hands as they start shaking. Something that never happened before. Goosebumps are visible all over his skin but he firmly takes a hold of himself back and leave the scene in a hurry with a puzzled look on his face*

[Ollie James]

At the first sounds of the scuffle, Ollie had turned in her seat at the bar and watched. Cerberus wasn’t that hard to pick out, but she made no move to aid him. After he had been dragged off, she downed the rest of her vodka slime and threw a tip at the bartender, before walking over to the gathering crowd around the cowboy’s fallen form.

[Keaira Drake]

"And Z's will pay for the outfit?" Scarlet asked narrowing her eyes at Zarek.

"Absolutely" his head bobbed up and down, a huge smile spread across his face. "I still have the catalogue with the three outfits picked out for you. I knew youi’d change your mind.”

“I’ve picked.” Scarlet replied “I’m sure the ones you would pick would barely have enough material to make it worth your hardly earned money.” Pulling a folded sheet from her backpack.

“You mean hard earned.” Zarek coughed

“I said what I meant.” She passes him the paper with pictures printed from the internet and torn from catalogues pasted to it.

“You’ve done your homework Keaira. I’m surprised considering how against it you were.”

“A friend spoke to me, said I may have fun with it. I want every piece on that sheet, the purchasing information is beneath each picture and I’ve already contacted the companies to make sure it’s all available. I also have a copy. So don’t try to switch anything out on me.” Scarlet gets up with a smile and heads for the office door. “Oh, and Mr. Z… I won’t be in the cages, I’ll be the one putting others in, and don’t tell anyone I’m working that night. Let it be a surprise.” With that she opened the office door and saunters down the stairs to serve the patrons, a little bounce in her step.

She notices the line of bouncers as she heads to the floor and goes over to get the info.

[blakenpc]

One of the bouncer head back to the coat room. He comes back holding a digital camera, but as Cerberus has left he just hold it to his side. In the distance sirens are heard. Three of them wait outside waiting for the cops the rest go back inside.

Inside the bartender who was trying to help the cowboy just kind of sits back, waving the crowd aways that have gathered around the fallen form.

[blakenpc]

One of the bouncers takes scarlet aside and tells her what he saw, pointing out different spots in the bar. He describes Cerberus and how he beat the crap out of the cowboy.

[Keaira Drake]

"Seems like one of our usual brawls." Scarlet shrugs dismissing the incident. "Just a disagreement of opinions. Neither one looks critical if one was able to walk out, and this ones still conscious. Though lets open up a few doors and get some fresh air going through here. I'll get the back door." She walks away expecting the bouncer to do as she'd suggested, and into the back staff room and outside to behind Z's.

[blakenpc]

As scarlet is walking past the cowboy, he coughs up blood and seems to start to shake pretty badly.

[noth]

Showing his certain level of depraved mental capacity he actually gets a chuckle out of the fight he just saw as he takes a long drink of the beer he had at his side. He shook his head and allowed his eyes to trail over the other new women who had just entered the establishment.

First his sunglassed eyes landed on Ollie and the scars she carried, wondering slightly in the back of his mind where she got them. It was rather obvious at least for a minute or two that he was looking at her before his head moved slightly taking in another deep gulp of beer.

His next target for watching was the other new female(scarlet), he spent some more time watching her, it was obvious that she was someone of some influence at least in this joint. He tagged that information into the back of his mind for the moment, might come in handy.

Then his eyes regarded the one being dragged out of the facility(cerberus), he chuckled again lightly before turning his eyes towards the cowboy. He shook his head....well that was mildly entertaining for a moment......where the hell was the cute waitress he needed another beer.

[Keaira Drake]

"damnú air!" Scarlet cursed under her breath "I hope someone has an ambulance coming." she looks at the bouncer who filled her in on the initial scene "Did you call an ambulance, or just the cops?"

[noth]

Stands up and walks over to Scarlet, pulling a cell phone out of his trenchcoats pocket and offering it too her. "Good help is awfully hard to find isnt it?" He asked quietly enough that the bouncers wouldnt hear his words.

[blakenpc]

"I think the call was for both, at least I hope so. Scott is going to be pissed when he hears about this evening." He glares at Micah as he talks to scarlet.

Outside the bar, a police car pulls up, quickly followed by an ambulance. The police get out and the paramedics rush inside, when they see the condition the cowboy was in they Clear the crowd and begin to pull out many different items from their kits. They quickly patch up what they can before strap the man to a back board and lift him onto the gurney. But they seem to shake their heads as they wheel the man out, and load him into the waiting ambulance.

The police start to take statements from people and letting them go, it seems tonight the bar closes early.

[Keaira Drake]

Catching the strangers comment Scarlet gives him a genuine smile. "I don't know, you'd have to ask my boss if good help is hard to find." She takes a deep breath as the paramedics rush in. "Thanks for the offer, but it seems someone was on top of the game tonight."

"Scott will just be glad he didn't get messed up in another brawl." she comments to the bouncer.

Seeing the cops she heads over and gives a quick statement and then grabs her workbag from the staff room and heads out back.

[noth]

Watches Scarlet talk to the cops, and makes sure that at least some of the crowd is between him and the cops so he could scoot out if an oppurtunity presented itself. He didnt have to wait long as scarlet moved towards a back door, he followed after a moment avoiding the police as usual. He wasnt involved in this so he had no real reason to talk to them, besides he hated cops.

[Keaira Drake]

"Hey mister tall, dark and helpful, there is a camera in here too if you're trying to get around them." Scarlet says after grabbing her bag. As she straightens from bending over she pulls the short black skirt down as far as it will go. The short sleeved white collared shirt shows off her midrift as she does so and she pulls it down a bit too. She heads out the back door not caring if he follows. She takes a quick look to her left where another camera is mounted. It looks old and dirty. She smirks and looks around the shadows, moving away from the garbage dumpsters she takes a delicate long sniff.

[noth]

Follows her quietly, drawing a pack of cigarettes from the inside of his jacket and extracting one. Lighting it as soon as he has passed through the doors heading into the back alley. "So what, they already know it was colonel weirdo in the bar with the fist...they wont care about me." He replied taking a deep drag of the cigarette as he watches her seem to sniff, his reaction is simple...he smiles....could she be one of them, or maybe she dont like his cologne.

[Keaira Drake]

"Nasty habit there." Scarlet remarks rubbing at her nose as if it itched. She continues deeper into the field behind the lounge, towards a grove of trees. "I don't intend to be out here when the cops do there check. Even if they do have a suspect, cops screw up all the time. I'd reckon there are two decent cops in the whole of Calgary."

[noth]

"theres other things i have to worry about killing me, and these arent anywhere close to registering on the list." he replied, tossing the smoke to the ground and grounding it out with his heel. "Well i have a car nearby, can drop you off werever you want to go." He replied sliding a set of keys from his pocket.

"Names Micah" he exclaimed moving towards her in a non threatening mannor and offering a hand.

[Keaira Drake]

Scarlet stops at the sound of the cigarette being ground out. Turning as the helpful stranger walks towards her. There's a seconds hesitation before Scarlet takes the offered hand and shakes it firmly. To the observant, one can see a tenseness in her neck and around her lips.

"Good eve Micah. You'll find I'm called Keaira here." Her irish lilt strong in her voice. She releases his grasp. "Thanks for the offer, however I prefer to run home.

[noth]

Nods and moves a step closer speaking in extremely low words while watching around for others that may over hear. His hand slipping from hers, his mouth a few inches from her ear. "Im new.....need to speak to.....others. Can you arrange that?" He asked hoping shed get the hint on what he meant. Then he took a step back from her.

[Keaira Drake]

info in brackets ( ) not spoken.


Scarlet's smile was bright and genuine. There is not a trace of her being surprised by the information. "Yes, Micah, I can do that." pausing a moment, "They'll meet us tomorrow (tuesday 23rd) at a little tea shop on McLeod near the stampede grounds. In the meantime, would you care to take a run?"

[noth]

Smiles to her. "I suppose i can keep it slow for you." He chuckled waving his hand forward as if to give her a head start. "And thats good news, i was hoping that i wouldnt have to stay around here alone for too long." He smiled.

[Keaira Drake]

Walking into a circular grove of trees Scarlet sets down her workbag and turns to face the only opening to the grove. Bits of black and white uniform scatter the ground around her as she changes forms. Her dark fur varies from a charcoal gray to ebony black. Her green eyes watch Micah closely, as she gives a grin, her tongue sticking out slightly to the right of her mouth.

[noth]

Follows her into the grove and carefull makes sure that no ones around to watch, removes his clotes and puts them in a bag and then shifts to his solid black fured wolf form. He smiled to her and waited for her to start to run. His form was pure muscle the kind of form that you would espect from a seasoned runner. He grasped the bag in his mouth before starting to run himself.

[Keaira Drake]

Changing her paw to an arm she slips the back pack around herself and starts the run slowly, keeping to the deep shadows keeping their forms out of the light of the waxing moon. She speeds up a bit here and there, and slows down to skirt through a residential area or two. After about 30 minutes she visibly relaxes and opens up her run as she heads out of the city limits towards one of her favourite national parks.

[noth]

After a couple of minutes of a head start he smiles and jaunts after her, keeping to the exact same spots as she did and after a bit just blows past her, moving quite a bit faster then her. After a couple of minutes of he lead he screeches to a halt and waits for her to catch up to him. With a smile towards her "Slow poke" he chuckles and starts a slow meandering walk.
