[Sodium_noir] Hell is Other People

[Spikey]

Mr Zorn, Miss Begierde, Mr Fresserei, 
Miss Unfeuscheit, Mr Hochfart, Mr Nied, Mr Tragheir
Melcom Board members

The gathering of the Melcom board had fallen to quiet discussion the moment Winthropp and his wife had left them. The reason for their attendence at the party had been to network and gather investments, and they felt they had achieved that goal admirably so far. 

After a little quiet talking they seperated, immediatly heading in different directions. 

Mr Hochfart, tall and ramrod straight, came to the foot of the stairs as Mara and Montoya did. His less well turned out companion Mt Tragheir followed him but continued upwards to where Bennet and his scantily dressed date stood. Greeting them both with a broad smile, Hochfart's eyes lingered on Mara for several seconds too long. A Flicker of recognition seemed to cross his face before he launched into his greeting.

"Mr Montoya, a pleasure to meet you again. And Miss ... Rothchilde isn't it?"

Miss Begierde, the bubbly Southern American sounding woman whose ample breasts constantly threatened to leap out of her basque found her way into the foyer where the five younger guests had gathered. Morgan spotted her approach first and made room for her as she ploughed right towards them.

"Well hello!" he said.

"Hiya sugar" She replied. "You all looked to be the real interestin' folks at this shindig so I thought I'd come over and say hi. You wouldn't mind rescuing a damsel in distress from all the stuffed shirts would you?"

Zorn and Miss Unfeuscheit strolled through the mansion together for a while, talking under their breathe to one another and smiling or nodding to people as they passed. Coming to the music room they paused for a while, glancing out the doors to Dr lazarus and the ladies. But after a moment they continued on.

In another room they found Sue Lei and Detective Cody Brannigan talking quietly on a sofa. The Chinese girl fiddled with her beau's collar, but dropped it with a blush when the to entered. 

"Miss Lei!" Zorn said with his deep booming voice. "Long time no see. Its been such a long time since you came to see your fathers work, I guess they're keeping you busy over at Dusk."

The couple stood, Sue lei strugling to make polite conversation with her fathers employers. A battle made no easier when Cody suddenly excused himself to answer his phone. She'd asked him to turn it off, but in truth she knew Cody was never off duty. Whoever it was appeared to have left a voicemail, or  amissed call message because after listening to it he quickly dialed a number and headed into a quiet corner.

Mr Fresserei, comes upon Allen Bradley talking to Lady Marguerite and her collection of dowagers, debutants and trophy wives. The man was portly to say the least, stretching at the buttons of his waist coat as he wobbled towards them, plate of food in one hand and glass of champagne in the other.

"Ladies!" he said by way of greeting. Somehow he smelled absolutely wonderful, like cinnamon and baking. "Sir! I have to admit that it is almost impossible to know where to feast my eyes next. Wonderful food, beuatiful house, charming people such as yourselves sprinkled about like hundreds and thousands. I swear lady Sinclair I have never in my life been to such a marvelous party as this."

"Why thank you Mr Fresserei!" She replied demurely. "Have you met Mr Bradley? A man of great taste and subtle might in many circles." She seemed to be dropping that compliment as much for the ladies as for the newly arrived gourmet.

"No, no I haven't ma''am!" Fresserei replied, placing his plate on a table and wiping his hand with a napkin. he may have been a bloater, but he was no pig. "It is an absolute pleasure Mr Bradley. Names Fresserei, but of course you knew that. I work for Melcom. Corporate entertainment and the like. Terrible ligger I'm afraid, have never turned down a free lunch yet. What is it you do sir, if I might be so bold?"

Mr Nied, short and squat but well turned out, came ontot he veranda through another door. He spotted Aurora, Mitsuko and Sandra, surrounding the wheelchair of Dr Lazarus, but did not appraoch right away. Instead he moved to the wall and took in the sights and scents of Lady Sinclair's garden. It was clear tot he others howeveer that he was waiting just out of earshot for when they finsihed talking. Hovering on the edge and awaiting the chance to join in thier conversation perhaps.
