Re: ■□ Emptied Nest □■


Following her, he admired her versatility. He played his 'hand' carefully. Eluding himself as brash and careless allowed him 'wiggle ' room. He recalled her from a past endeavor. One of which that went horribly south and well....the timing was wrong. And her mentioning of Military brass was alarming. Unsure what was next for him, he asked:

"So what did I do this time?" he asked plainly. Apprehension showing.

Once they were outside on the patio that overlooked Gotham, she walked to the railing that stopped drunk patrons from taking a swan dive onto the streets below. Atleast not before losing enough of their money.

Scarlet sighed heavily and looked out at the city, then back to him. "This organization is looking to recruit you. Seems like an alright bunch of guys. They asked if I knew you and I mentioned that we had met. They asked if I would escort you to them. So let's get this over with, so I can savage my promotion, alright?" She asked, checking her watch.

"....wait-a-minute....you're a headhunter??" Decker asked in confused shock.
''Who wants me...and for what??"he asked in incredulous curiousity.

-----------------------------------------



'The Penguin' was notorious for his flashy flamboyance, paired with intrusively eccentric approach. Such was the way he designed the Lounge. Arctic decor, coupled with random art exhibitions. One most notably, an ice sculpture at the center of the pool. Having the greatest ice sculptors brought in daily, from around the planet. Todays artist in fact was hard at work below, turning each icey edge into smooth uniform contours.

Watching on sitting upon an overly tall seated throne-like seat. Oswald Cobblepot hosted another short stock guest. One with a certain eye for hatwear. (Amongst other 'guilty' pleasures) Jervis Tetch. A one time haberdasher of antiquity hats, and full time lunatic with a penchant for hypnotically arousing teas. The pair looked out, off of the balcony. (Just opposite of Scarlet and Devlin.)

"Mister Cobbly-pot sir...I must say, your humble cavern of curvacious catacombs provide SUCH a lividly ludicrous view!"
Jervis "Mad Hatter" Tetch bantered on, before The Penguin interupted.

"COBBLE...... BULLLLLLLLL.... you twit."his beaky snarl accentuated the slightly mongloidle nose he wore, per namesake.

"...indeed my friend..."
Tetch relented in apologetic bow.

Though Tetch stared in wonder at the stature, Cobblepot watched on across at the pair talking. The woman was beautifuland elagant. Yet muscle toned hard and industrious. Not befitting a 'lounge lady"'status. A coc ktail waitress arrived, anf whispered to Oswald. Before leavibg two drinks for the owner and his guest.
''Thanks again Raven dear..." Penguin dismissed the waitress.

"Look. I don't know a lot about them. But they seem to be on the right side of things. " she said to Devlin. As she was about to continue, her superior officer walked to her.

"Lieutenant Scarlet... this dinner can't start workout you and we are all hungry... And who is this? "

Scarlet signed heavily. "Good damn it. .." she said under her breath. "This is my date. He, um... he was running late so I had to meet him. Let's get to the table. " she really hoped this didn't go badly.

Re: ■□ Emptied Nest □■


Looking down at his own atire, he wouldve blushed some. He had worn tuxedo, nor decent dinner appropriate wear. But he enjoyed her impromptu invite.
''Yes indeed honey-bunches!" Decker cooed in jest. Judging her apparent business here. She was at the Lounge on business where as he was on pleasure.

---------------------------------------

Tailing was something Shang Shang was no novice to. Though she usually applied her avian wings, that currently were inappropriate. She huffed it tge trafitional way. Her atire was far more formal than the man and woman she tailed. However, the two suspiciously awkward bruisers wearing hawaiian shirts and ray bans were all too obvious. These men slugged behind Scarlet and Devlin. Surprisingly not noticed. Unsure of their agenda, Shang went in for the distraction.

*walks behind the men faster than average. And 'falls' fakely into them as to slow their pace and observation ahead of them.

'Ohh..excuse me boys!" She half heartedly try to play coy. She wasn't a standout beauty, but she wasn't ugly either. She hiped her feminine charm would work?

As the general turned his back on them and led the way to the table, a look of disgust at Scarlet's choice of dates, Hex grabbed Devlin by the collar and had him face her, angrily. "You listen to me. You play nice and don't say stupid !@#$ like that again, or I'll kill you and leave you hanging by your intestines from the streetlamp outside." She growled, then let him go and continued to walking. She heard a commotion behind her but ignored it

Devlin relented, even in facial features. He blushed a bit of embaressment. And even halted his comedic stalling.
*nods at Scarlet.

"Thanks for pulling me out that shark tank. They circled me pretty good there.. "
He said, though awkward and redundant. Running a hand through his chin length hair. (As though it classed his gruffy facial hair and appearance, pointlessly) He played 'nice'. Gathering composure on the fly. Instinct perhaps,( or maybe even his intuitive linking of the probability power? )
Hinted a vision in his minds eye, though momentary. A set of staring beady eyes on him? From a vantage point? A scan about his surroundings gave him a view of two men looking out across the grand pool, on an adjacent balcony cove.
 ( Tetch & Cobblepot) He dismissed the seemingly trivial exchange behind them as much as Scarlet had.

----------------------------------------

"Watch where you're goin Lady!" Said Hawaiian shirt man 1.
"Yeah, watch where you're going LADY!"
Echoed moronically shirt number 2.
Each man wore a very bad hair piece upon their 'eggishly' bald and sweaty head. Towering over Shang-Shang, though clumsily standing. She identified a great deal from this exchange. She assessed their observational awareness, reactive capacity, overall agility and a brief sample of their personality. Smiling to herself, she casually dismissed herself from the rude pair. Shutting her purse, she walked opposite knowing that a button sized audio observational device had been attached to each. Though these 'bugs' were by no means standard. They held contigency property as well. They could reverse squelch a high pitched ranging sound. Such an amplified noise that could bring down a 10 foot radius of unprotected and normal eardrums. She adjusted her wire rimmed spectacles. Another higher ended technical wonder. Which was laden with receiver, and visual recording devices in each stem. And had H.u.d. capabilities upon each lense once activated.
She continued 'tailing' the pair, all the while doing her observational report feed.
 "Two BIRDS....one stone." She said softly, while keying her communication device within her bracelet.

Scarlet and her "date" arrived at the table. The general pulled a chair out for her to sit down. She smiled and nodded a "hello" to the others around the table, all top ranking officers, and none of them impressed by Devlin's appearance.

"So.... let's eat. I am starving." Scarlet's commanding officer said, trying to lighten the mood as the waiter brought over a wine list, asking for people's orders from the bar.

Re: ■□ Emptied Nest □■


Scooting in Scarlet's chair after the General assisted her seat selection. Devlin used the opportunity to add to the 'role' he had been purposed.
As he sat, and looked over the list. He asked the waiter:

"Do you have any Kermit Lynch? Say...2005 or lower? Id prefer his award winning year personally? Say a 'Languedoc Montpeyroux Rouge'? I know Sylvain d’Aupilhac used the
 malolactic fermentation, no? Either way the stainless steel finish before bottling made that
35 year wait, all the better wait. " After his dissertation. ( Which in fact would hold all factual) Devlin gave Scarlet a wink. Then whispered to her:

"its a soft and sweet French red. You'll love it." He assured. He then awaited the next course of duty presented him. Though, whether his 'rescuer's approval would resound, would be evident soon enough?

------------------------------------------------

"You find the oddest birds for your collection, my dear Ozzy?" Mad Hatter related, while looking to the rare and exotic breeds the proprietary Penguin had caged delicately about the forum hall down below. (Around the central GRAND pool.) The pair of short and tubby Gotham 'Underworlders' exchange, amidst the casino Lounge's grand concourse. The coc ktail waitress whom relayed the message was a trusted and vital part of the Penguins operation. Cobblepot knew ALL that occurred in his home. And the fact that card counting cheat was surely amongst his prestigious patrons irked his gullet. As Tetch ( Mad Hatter) babbled on with the overly polite eccentrics. Oswald cut to the chase.
"So have at it Jervis.<wah> You've gotten your beak in a pickled herring, and need 'old Oswald' to bail you out?....Again...<Wah Wah>" Said the Fat stocky ( and very short ) man said.

"Um.......well..." Tetch teetered with embarrassment.

"Aw hell Tetch. Please don't say its a kid again?" The Penguin reasoned with hope.

Tearing at the brim of his hat. Tetch sat defiantly through his jittering fidget.

"There was a party I set for....well....my Alice has been Gone sooooooo long. And the Queen she..." Tetch began, then stopped.

Cobblepot's crunched up brow forced his monocle to fall from his eye.

"Preposterous!" he exclaimed in aggravation. Tetch jumped a little in his seat.
