1936 - Pulp Heroes

"Hey, Phillipe," She said, hugging the older gentleman's gentleman, knowing it embaressed him, but she always got a kick out of it anyway, she loved the guy like a grandfather.

"Don't mind him too much, he's always like that," she told the others with another fond grin at the butler, it's their usual greeting, something of a joke between them.

John hands the butler a leather bomber jacket that has seen better days, or years. He is quite unconcerned with the fact that his luger is now clearly visible in the shoulder holster.

"Here you go Mr. Phillip"
 



Elizabeth withdraws her gun from her coat and hands the weapon to Phillipe, butt first before removing her coat, the elderly butler takes both without qualm, nor does he flinch at the open display of weaponry. He has seen stranger while in Phaere's employ and the old gentleman had seen his share of conflict. In fact, he was a retired French military doctor, but hay, they didn't need to know that.
 


"Bonjour, Phillipe. Comment ca va?" Jack says with a small note of familiarity and adds his jacket to the lot. When the butler maintains his icy stare, Jack just lowers his eyes and moves along with the others.
 

Elizabeth leads you through the mansion to the west lounge, a large room with a fireplace, big comfy chairs and bookshelves filled with old dusty books. On one wall there is a huge map of the world.

A tall lean man is standing infront of the map examining it carefully. He has a short neatly trimmed full-beard with a streak of silver and is wearing a black turtleneck and a pair of black slacks. He is leaning to a cane made of black wood which has intricate carvings on it. As most of you know, this is Phaere Nightshade, one of the most powerfull men in the world. He has a strange "aura" with him, which makes everyone feel small compared to him. Even the thug you brought along obviously recognises him as he slinks to almost covering under his stare.

His stern face turns to a smile as he sees you approach and he opens his arms to let Elizabeth hug him. "Ah Liz, you should really come see me and your mother more often when you are in town. It seems like you no longer come visit unless I explicitly ask you to come."

He takes a look of the whole group and visibly notes all the guns you carry. "Well, I see you haven't changed the type of company you keep. At least you're safe with all these goons around you." he says giving Elizabeth a hidden wink, notifying that he really doesn't think she couldn't defend herself.

He nods at Mickey, acknowledging his number one man and then turns his attention to Jack. "Well well, Major Castle, or is it colonel already? How's the knee?" After that he addresses the others. "Ah yes, welcome to my humble adobe, I am Phaere Nightshade, pleased to meet you." He walks over to a cabinet in one corner. "Brandy anyone?"
[sblock=OOC]Mirth. I intendly keep the details of Phaere and Jack's last meeting vague as I haven't really yet made up anything specific. I'm thinking that there could be some bad blood between them but nothing too serious. More like both accidentily spoiling eachother's mission simultaniously in some freakishly improbable and inconvenient manner, becoming almost a joke between you.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and since Jack is part of the military I went and gave him an an appropriate rank.[/sblock]

"Well, we sort of just ran into each other. Y'know, chance meetings and all that." Elizabeth, said, after giving her dad a hug. "And you always tell me, once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times, keep the guys around you so you can at least tell where they're going,"
