> **Major Ember Storm**Seated at a booth, a redheaded man(?) seems to be reading through a book, a messenger bag beside him, a glass with some form of dark soda on the table in front of him. He's wearing a nice button down white shirt, with the top button left undone, and simple black slacks. He does, however, seem to have a pair of sunglasses resting on his head.**Janothar**The VIP room of the Lounge is much smaller and more intimate than the main area downstairs. The place has nice wooden walls, a very solid and fully stocked bar (with almost anything you would want) and about a dozen booths. The room can hear the music from downstairs, and has a sound system for when thee's a particularly nice live show, but generally is much quieter, more conductive to conversation. In addition to the booths, there are a few tables, and they can be moved around and configured as necessary.**Sean Caldon**Behind the bar, you see a man polishing glassware and just doing some other busy work around the bar. When you walked in from the public area with a drink, he would have smiled and nodded at you as you made your way over to a booth while he continued to work.**Major Ember Storm**Finishing the drink that was before him, the slender man sighs, setting it down, then closes his book, setting it within the messenger bag. Finally, getting up, he slings the bag over his shoulder, picks up the empy glass, and heads to the bar.
> "Excuse me. Can I please get another? Rum and root beer."**Sean Caldon**Nods, "Of Course! I haven't seen you here before. First time in?" He talks as he is getting the liquor and adding bottled root beer to it**Major Ember Storm**Up close, the man seems to be a bit... ruffled. The shirt is untucked, and wrinkled. Likewise, the slacks are also wrinkled. Clearly, this man either doesn't hang his clothes up out of the dryer or has never heard of an iron.
>
> "Yeah, I guess? Relatively new to town. Been busy moving in, getting settled in, working on personal projects, that kinda thing."**Sean Caldon**His smile widens "Well, I hope I am one of the first to welcome you to this fine city. Lots of opportunities and interesting people here." Puts the drink on a bar napkin in front of you. "Sometime you will have to try our beer, its made on premise"**Major Ember Storm**"Well, it is the city that never sleeps. Always something going on."
>
> He pauses, taking a sip from the glass, closing his eyes a bit as he lets the smoothness of the drink hit him.
>
> "Name's Ember. Yours?"**Sean Caldon**Extends a hand for a shake "I am Sean, a pleasure Ember."**Major Ember Storm**Ember takes his hand, giving it a firm, but not crushing, grip and then a shake.
>
> "So, you run this place, or just work here?"**Sean Caldon**Will return the shake with the same amount of strength behind it before going back to doing some busy work while talking. "Oh I work here most days. Its been a few years now. I like the job, its always exciting to see who might be walking through the door."**Major Ember Storm**"Any interesting stories? I imagine getting people together with such differing opinions can lead to some... disagreements."
>
> Ember takes a seat, hanging the messenger bag from the back of the stool.**Sean Caldon**He shrugs slightly. "Everyone knows this is not the place to start anything. It usually ends up with people getting a bit too drunk and loudly arguing about nonsense until we help them find their way home. I've not had anything more than that happen in my time here."**Major Ember Storm**Nodding, Ember sips from his glass again.
>
> "You think it'd be alright to run a weekly gaming group in here if I can get enough interest?"**Sean Caldon**"Maybe, as long it does not bother the other guests who are in at that time. Find out the interest and we can go from there. What did you have in mind to run?"**Major Ember Storm**"Are you familiar with the World of Shadows?"
>
> Ember smirks, reaching down to his messenger bag and pulls out the Warlock: the Pretension and Human: the Protagonist core books.**Sean Caldon**Looks over the books and will pick one up to look at it. "A new one for me. I never really played these types of games. Nintendo was more my speed"**Doctor Emma Blake**Doctor Blake climbs the stairs into the VIP area and pauses looking around as she adjusts to the quieter sound level. Once she identifies Ember and someone she doesn't know, she heads that direction. "Major," she greets him.
> The Doctor has on a white lab coat with Sacred Charge above the pocket and has a duffel with her.**Sean Caldon**Nods to the newcomer. "Welcome, let me know if you'd like something to drink. We brew the beer on-premise"**Major Ember Storm**As Emma shows up, Ember smiles slightly. "Emms, meet Sean. Sean, meet Doctor Emma Blake. Needing a late drink there, Doc?"
>
> He then turns to the books, opening one to show stuff to Sean. "It's actually a whole lot of fun. Not based even remotely in reality, but where would the fun be in that? I mean, you can go that route with Human: the Protagonist, where you have challenges like filing your tax returns and the like, but I really love the setting of Spectre: the Annihilation. It's fascinating how they portray the concept of the afterlife."**Sean Caldon**"A pleasure Doctor Emma Blake." He will look at the book and sort of furrow his brow a bit "I think we all have a bit of a different view of reality, but I think I can take your meaning"**Doctor Emma Blake**"No drinks for me tonight.." she smiles at Ember and offers a small wave to Sean, "Is that just something you say, or do you mean it?" and a long look that clearly says she is checking him out.
>
> "I'm on duty, came by looking for you," the Doc finally says to Ember.**Major Ember Storm**At the mention of being on duty and looking specifically for him, Ember raises an eyebrow. "At this time of night? It's oh-one-hundred. What do you need from me this early?"**Sean Caldon**He gets a lopsided grin, and looks like he is about to answer Emma but stops as if not wanting to interrupt whatever they are discussing. He will focus on something else, obviously trying to give them a bit of privacy.**Doctor Emma Blake**"This was as fast as I could find you.. I think it can wait until morning though.." she scoots her chair a little closer to Sean. "Got any Irish Reds?"**Sean Caldon**Looks back up to her and smiles. "If you don't mind one I brewed, sure" He reaches down into a cooler below, pulls out a bottle, opens it and pours it into a pint, putting it in front of you. "And no, that isn't something I just say. I've never met someone it was not a pleasure to have met for one reason or another."**Major Ember Storm**"Then it can most definitely wait." Ember nods, then goes back to fanboying about the game. "Anyways, Spectre has this great fanbase, even has a fansite set up, called Spectral Undertakingz. The other games in the line are pretty good too. Not sure how Warlock would go over with this crowd, though. But I figure, hey, we butt heads outside too much as is, why not get some down time together in here? Maybe get some food, some drinks, and just have a good time."**Sean Caldon**Nods. "I am unsure what a 'fansite' is, but I'd have no problem with you playing it here, provided it does not bother other guests is all."**Doctor Emma Blake**The Doctor takes a slow sip of the beer and smiles, "This is good!" and she drinks a little more. "Ember's been talking about this game forever. I think she is about to wear me down, you should play too!"**Sean Caldon**"I am glad you like it! We have many other types as well. I brew them in the traditional fashion.." He stops himself before going off on a tangent... "I'd definitely be interested to see it played"**Major Ember Storm**"Wear her down! HA!" Ember chuckles a bit before taking a sip from his glass. "Ah, smooth. Emms, you have a different kind of insatiable thirst that needs slaking that wears everyone else down!"**Doctor Emma Blake**Emma takes a few more sips, drinking rather quickly as she enjoys the flavor but already turning a little red in the face! "Acsully.." she yawns. "Ya know, it is late isn't it? What'd you put in this?" she peers into the remainder of the beer.**Sean Caldon**"Oh just the usual. Hops, malt, water, yeast. It is a bit high in alcohol though..." He looks a little guilty for not mentioning that before she drank it quickly...**Major Ember Storm**Smirking, Ember sighs. "We'd better start calling a cab. She's the 'white girl wasted' type. Gets drunk off half a Mike's."**Sean Caldon**"I will keep that in mind next time she visits. I have just the thing for it"**Doctor Emma Blake**Emma takes another long drink and smacks her lips a little, "I dunno, how far away is Sean's place? Could we walk?"**Major Ember Storm**"See, this is why you should've joined the military, Emms. They train you how to drink like a fish." Ember chuckles a bit more behind his own drink, though he's clearly got a mild buzz going.**Sean Caldon**He chuckles "While it isn't far, I am afraid I have to work for a few more hours. Perhaps another time when you are ... not drinking"**Doctor Emma Blake**"Did.." she looks over at Ember and frowns. "Did he just shoot me down?" the redhead finishes off the beer and is already hailing an uber with her phone in her other hand. "That's a burn.."**Sean Caldon**"Nothing of the sort. I just have a few personal rules involving people who have been drinking. I do hope to see you here again" He will look at Ember "You are both welcome anytime we are open or if you could use some assistance."**Major Ember Storm**"Look on the bright side, he didn't friendzone you. Just said you're too wasted off a couple sips." Ember reaches into a pocket to pull out his wallet and pay his tab, along with the Doctor's drink. "C'mon girl, let's get you home."**Sean Caldon**Holds up a hand. "It is on the house. I wish you both well and its been a delight talking with you"**Doctor Emma Blake**Doctor Blake yawns again and nods her head, "Well, at least I can get one guy to take me home.." she is slurring a little and her accent comes on strong, the woman is clearly from Texas.**Major Ember Storm**"I'm not sleeping with you either. Let's get some water into you." Ember nods and raises a hand in thanks back towards Sean.**Doctor Emma Blake**"Not my kink, and that's okay.." she says, grinning and nodding. "Yeah, water and sleep sound good actually. Then you and I need to talk Mister Storm."**Major Ember Storm**"Yeah yeah, c'mon. Get you some rest." Ember leads the drunk girl out.
