This place is a threat to Orphens club, the Neon Burn. So of course he has to go check it out, see what they are doing that might draw away his customers... His club barely stays afloat so he has to be mindful of these things.

Orphen will blend in perfectly with this crowd. He arrived in a suped up Lancer, vibrating with the same bass as the building he was seeking.

His usually unruly hair has been cropped short again. Dyed an odd purple. He is dressed like your typical raver in ridiculous pants with glowy bits and a fitted top...

Once he pays whatever covercharge and gets inside he will slip a pill under his tongue and lose himself in the pulsating crowd. What better way to get a read on a place than to get lost in it... Besides, its his night off.

*The cover is steep compared to some clubs in the area, $25 a person. There however doesn't seem to be many that turn away from it, the crowd looks mostly legal and ID's are being checked at the door.

The feel of the place is gritty, though the club itself isn't dirty just the fact that it's in a warehouse and in an almost abandoned spot of the city draws the kids in. Afterall, with their Mommies and Daddies not understanding them... they have to find a place to fit.

The Banshee IS that place...where everyone can fit. Where you can go to feel dirty, naughty, wrong. It's a state of mind really... getting away from your too perfect life. Yes that oh so bothersome life that other people would kill to have but you can't possibly be happy in. Come to the Banshee where your drugs of choice can be found, where your pain tolerance can be tested and where you can be one of the many cattle who thinks they're Unique or different.

Please join our little circus, lose yourself nightly to the greater scheme of things, be of use to the things that go bump in the night. Of course the rumors of darkness lurking and stealing the young from the clubs to feed their immoral and immortal souls are just rumors right? HA! That only makes them flock faster to this place, the thought of something unknown and wholly dark.

Yes, yes, please do join our little freak show and don't forget to buy one of our "Immoral Immortal" t-shirts. They're all the rage along with our come hither lip gloss in blood red.

This place is like an amusement park without the rides... dark and deep with the chance to lose oneself...perhaps forever. Ha ha. Having faith isn't always believing in the light. *

(Hopefully that answers the Arete thing cuz I have no goddamn clue what that is, should post what the 2 sux would give ya fool *grin*)

Orphen has been in places like this before. The same rebellion through conformity motiff as his club... But theres something darker here, he can hear it, feel it.

It makes him uncomfortable, makes his sweat cold and plants shadows in the corners of his eyes. He wont retreat just yet, he just slips off the dance floor to dig out his phone and call the trac-phone he slipped in Seans bag....

*Devin watches the crowd from the platform above. He hates some of the music being played here but this is his job. He keeps a close eye on those who leave early, spies perhaps or just losers who can't hack it. It's his job to know who comes and who goes.

So far it's been a good crowd tonight, a lot of their parents money being spent on slightly overpriced drinks... hey what bar doesn't over-price them?*

The call made Orphen wil ldo his thing for another few minutes. Mixing with the crowd, following hte lines and patterns of this place... the pulse of the crowd carrying him along.

He can lose himself all night in places this crowded. Thats half the reason he stays behind the bar at his own club...

After a while he will work his back over by the door, to await Sean and unknowingly, Henk.

*Devin's attention is drawn for the moment to the guy casing the door, it's somewhat odd behavior, most people meet their party outside before they come in or just expect the people to find them in the crowd. He hesitates, could be nothing, a shrug then nods to one of the bouncers just to keep an eye on things, be vigilant.

Then Devin goes back to scanning the crowd in silence.*

Sean jives through the door, walking like an egyptian, when he sees orphen he hugs him, "Orphen my friend how are you!?" He then looks behind him remembering he has Henk with him.

"This is Henk, I work for him now." sean says as if its not strange at all.

Henk walks in a bit slowly. He has never really been to these sorts of clubs before. He sees Sean hug a man at the door. That must be Orphen he thinks.

"Hello there, You must be Orphen. I'm Henk, Pleased to meet you." Henk stretches out his arm to give Orphen a handshake. "So, a club eh?" Henk says with a hesitant voice. "Never been to a club before, So don't mind me being silly."

'Hey Guys.'

Orphen hugs sean and shakes Henks hand.

'this place is pretty cool, bit kinda off if you catch my meaning.' He tells Sean.

'be as silly as you want dude, hell, these help.'

Orphen winks and offers an open shaker full of brightly colored pills to Henk.

Looks amazed at the open shaker.
"What are those freaky coloured pills?"
Henk looks a bit odd at Orphen, then looks at Sean.

Sean looks at Henk "there just mints man, see." Sean grabs one and drops it into his mouth. smiling to henk.

sean looks around the place "This place is jumpin man,  lets mix mingle and.... mix some more."

Orphen Points at Sean.

'See thats the spirit!'

He grins wide and nods. 'Yeah man, just mints. Have one or three, trust me.'

He tells Henk.

Henk takes one and drops it in his mouth.
"Odd taste.." Henk says before he follows Sean into the crowd.

'I knew i liked this guy.' Orphen knudges Sean.

The trio moves onto the floor, enveloped by the crowd. The dizzying lights nad pounding music is like being lost at sea. You either give in or you die fighting.

Orphen is tapped in to the rhythm of hte place already. Something isnt right but he is trying to come closer to whatever perverts the usual communal pulse of this club.

Sean should know the drill, the scanning, the drugs... Henk might not be familiar with a cultists view of the world but the ecstasy he just popped should help him along. Orphen is just as open with him as he is with Sean, as if he knows Henk is one of them...

'Just follow the lines, apply any discipline you want, we need to feel this place out. Something isnt right but it still calls...'

2008-08-05 22:39:49 sean rolls 3 dice to feelin up the club (Diff 4) 5,7,7 (3 successes)

sean gets deeper into the crowd and closes his eyes and does the ragdoll hippie dance around people, looking for resonant spirits in or around the club.

*Devin relaxes a little when the odd duck out finds some friends... though the one seems a bit stiff.

Another nod to the bouncer, a sign to leave the kids be for now. Devin wanders up and down the platform above the dance floor.

Tonight things are rather calm, Bellisa hasn't shown tonight to the dismay of some of her groupies. They of course hang out in a little group and keep an eye on the VIP rooms upstairs just in case.*

################################################

Henk tries to blend in the crowd together with Orphen and Sean but trying to dance along but while trying to do so bumps into a lot of people. 'Watch out' and 'Hey, Watch It!' are common lines Henk gets to hear.

"I have no idea how you 2 do this. But I apparently am not a star in this" Henk says to Sean and Orphen. "If I keep on doing this I am afraid I will be tossed out by one of them big looking bouncers!"

Orphen will laugh at Henk. Nothing mean, these places take a lot of getting used to.

'Lets grab a drink while Sean does his thing for a few minutes?'

Orphen suggests. The crowd is much tamer near the bar, and theres nothing better than mixing your pills with alchohol...

"I think grabbing a drink is a better idea.. I don't seem to get a hang of this just yet" Henk replies.

Henk walks with Orphen to the bar. He thinks he can relax a bit at the bar seeing there's less people there.

'Two Nuclear Fallouts with a Zombie outbreak, Please.'

Orphen shouts to the bartender over the music.

'So does Sean actually work for you?'
Yes, he sounds genuinely suprised...
