[COC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness

Father Steele Pondered over the story just told, and then stated:

"Mr. Moore have you ever considered that maybe Dr. Lake stumbled upon a sacred burial ground, and began digging up distant relatives of something that was none to happy about his act of desecration?"

Starkweather gasps. "A scared burial ground in the Antarctic are you mad?" He then starts to laugh. " Oh I see! You have quite a sense of humor for a Priest. Well Lake's party was poorly run and managed. Not like our expedition! we will have all the latest and best equipment and not to mention the best men!" Starkweather grins broadly as he glances around the room. Though when he locks eye contact with Roxie and Miss Paulos he stops smiling and looks away.
 

Lawton shakes his head. "That priest sounds like a real joker. I thought maybe he was here just to keep the rest of us out of trouble." He winks over at Roxie.

"So are you still singing, or are you just enjoying the good life these days?"
 

Antonie has found a new table to lean against, and listens to the story while looking at Roxie and the priest.
Even though all of the terms of archeology go completely over his head, the grandness of the story attracts him.

They are still telling the tale of these men today... These men have gambled, put their life on the line to be a part of that expedition, to venture into uncharted lands. They found things no man had seen before, they made daily broadcasts...

Antonie still leans against the table, staring at Roxie, but with an absent look in his eyes...

Roxie exhaled with puff of white hot smoke. "Cute fairytale. That what tucks you in at night, Starkie?" She gave him a wink when he glanced over at her and Rachel. "Maybe you need something a little more substantial."

Laughing, she turned her attention to the new arrival, whispering to Rachel. "Never did trust a priest. Something just ain't right when a man doesn't want do a little wriggling under the sheets."

Her legs, long and silky, crossed at the knees as her full attention rested on Lawson's question. "I enjoy life any way I get it," she nearly purred with a smile. "If you're so interested in hearing me do a little singing, you should come down to my club tonight. A little going away party before we all find ourselves a ways apart from civilization. In fact, all of you are welcome. You too, padre.
 

Walks over and shakes Father Steele's hand.

"Hello, Father. Welcome to our little Donner Party. I hope you like frozen food."

Richard smiles broadly and gives Roxie a look which reflects the one she's been giving to him. "That sounds swell, I could use a late night out. Which club can we see you at?"
 

Sliding herself off the table, a flash of thigh jumped into view just before the hem of her dress slide back to its proper flapper length. The woman picked up her long luxurious fur coat, she slipped it over one arm. Taking a drag of her cigarrette she eyed the group assembled around the table.

Roxie let out a long breath of white smoke. "Blue Note Club, Lower Manhattan." Winking at her new found companions, she added in her all inclusive husky voice. "And leave your inhibitions at home."

Well, that would be an awkward evening, considering this party. On the other hand, it might be good to get to know each other a bit before heading out. I wonder if Lake and Dyer had to put up with a crew like we're going to have.

Taking a cue from Roxie, Antonie walks over to her. He gives the collective assembly a nod, and prepares to escort Roxie out.

"Are we going?"
 

Starkweather and Moore appear to be finished in there interviews and Starkweather gets the rooms attention. "Well, gentlemen! It has been a very productive day and I look forwards to seeing you again. Please meet back here at this hotel on September 1st. We plan on departing on September 15th and will will use the two weeks before to prepare for the trip. God speed to you all and I look forwards to seeing you in September." With that the meeting breaks up.

[OOC: If your character wants to do anything before returning September 1st please post in the OOC thread what you would like to do. Also if you wish to hang out with other characters please do so and just tell me what yall are going to do?]
