---

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost is currently sitting over in Coffee of DOOM. Likely recently reopened, there's regalia of the famed ruler of Latveria. Emma Frost is enjoying the atmosphere for what it is. Namely something unique. So for now she's working on a coffee, has a laptop out and is sitting at a table over to herself while occasionally taking a nibble over on a traditional Latverian dish to the side.

Ella Normandy has posed:
The door to the coffee shop dings a couple of times, and then the clicking of heels can be heard as Vampirella walks in, and heads for the counter. Heads turn. She's in a bikini, in the middle of winter, and well...she's not bad to look at and clearly WANTS to be seen so...

The woman comes to a stop at the counter, and studies the warm drinks for a few long moments, before she decides, "I'd like a latte, hot. Like, illegally hot," and then she turns to let her eyes sweep the room. She smiles a bit at the people she catches looking. Some are bashful, some are bold. Finally, her gaze settles on Emma.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would glance at the Vampiress over in the rather spread out outfit. Emma would give a casual gesture over at Ella in invitation. "Why hello. I'm sorry for having missed you after the last little bit of chaos. Did you have some fun voerw ith your food when you were done playing with it or were you limited to having to do some fast food over for it?" She would gesture in invitation to the other woman to approach.

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy gets her drink, and then walks over to Emma's table. She smoothly slides into the seat across from her, and crosses her legs. The woman smiles just a little bit, and then replies, "The man grew a brain stem and got out before he came to /too/ serious harm. Though, I think had he stayed..." she shrugs slowly, and then takes a sip of her steaming hot drink. It seems it's up to her standards, as she 'ahhhs' quietly, and then takes another from the mug.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would tsk, "All's the more the shame. I'm sure that you'll get him next time or alternatively you'll find one just as amusing to finish off." Emma has little sympathy for Mister Queen, whom has a reputation around the scale of the famous man from Gotham. So if he has no survival instincts, then that's on him.

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy mms and shrugs just a little, "I could, but I am not particularly interested in boring men. No matter how wealthy they are," she replies, her eyes wandering Emma for a moment, before snapping back to her face. "You seemed to be enjoying watching the show though. Have a thing for women taking apart a failson?" she asks, smiling just a little bit over the rim of her coffee.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod, "Of course. I suppose he would be a bit of fast food and you were just looking for something to nibble on. And mostly I'm curious. There are a number around in the Club that are wheat to the chaff. Others are somewhat more durable. It's always interesting to see how well they can handle themselves and those whom might dance with them."

Ella Normandy has posed:
The woman takes another long sip of her drink, and then says, "Well, I hope I was of interest to you," as she leans back in her chair, eyes continuing to watch Emma, evaluating her.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma herself is.. Possibly difficult to read. Another diva-bitch looking CEO that might be cookie cutter as a stereotype. But also, perhaps, something deeper to her, perhaps. "Yes, you potentially are."

Ella Normandy has posed:
"Only potentially?" Vampirella asks, putting on a bit of a pout, before she shifts in her chair and recrosses her legs. She takes another long gulp of her drink, before she continues, "What would make me more than just potentially interesting?"

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would lean over, "Well, that depends upon your willingness to do things. Which is nothing against you. Merely if you are in turn interested and if I would in turn have an offer. Some do not mind engaging in actions for hire, after all."

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy chuckles lowly, "You're looking for a mercenary? Do I look the type?" she says with a bit of wry humor, before she glances down her figure at the outfit she wears, "Not much in the way of guns or anything like that. Just disarming confidence."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "You look as one that enjoys a challenge and in turn the game." She would go over. "And I would require your abilities not with weapons, but as a hunter if need be."

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy considers this for a few long moments, "And what would I get out of this...exchange?" she asks. She crosses her arms under her bust, pushing it up a bit as she does so, but it does not appear she's doing this for any sort of amorous effect, more just something she does when she's calculating.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would shrug, "Well, the simplest way is of course money. Favors.. Within reason I can give you plenty of both to have on hand." She would quietly offer.

Ella Normandy has posed:
Favors? That catches Ella's interest and she hmmms, "I might be amiable, depending on what exactly you have in mind for me. I'd rather not have an extensive criminal record. Sort of goes against my current employment y'know."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would nod, "Of course. The benefit of my position is that most things can be smoothed over." Amazing what having lots and lots of money can do when it comes to clearing bureaucratic things up!

Ella Normandy has posed:
"Well, keep me in mind then." Ella says, before she finishes off her cup of coffee, and then stands up slowly. "I need to be off to grade though, so...unless you've anything else for me now..?" she asks, raising an eyebrow.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Then I wish to speak a litlte more at length in a location a litlte more formal in the matter. If ou are availble now then we can trnasit. Or I can reach you another time if you can share your contact information."

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy hmms and looks down at Emma, before she holds out an arm for her, "Walk me where you want me?" she asks, "I don't have the easiest contact methods, but I have ways for people to get ahold of me, if I'm needed. Though, they're a little old fashioned."

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Well, in any case I might wish for a somewhat simpler way of gettingin touch with you. If I need your services and you agree to provide them, then being able to offer you the details of a potential job and for you to agree or decline it would necessitate a quicker turnaround." Arm casually wrapping around that of Vampirella to lead her along.

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy smiles as Emma leads her along, "If you want to buy me a burner phone feel free, but it won't be on me personally. Too easy to get in touch makes you a slave to other people. And...well...that's just not what I'm interested in being." As she says this, she glances sidelong at Emma, perhaps feeling her out on her stance on technology.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Ah, how trite. If that's something you feel is simpler to indulge in.. Then of course. I take it you'll prefer one that can't do data so you don't have to worry on being tracked by it or being vulnerable?"

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy shrugs just a little bit, "It's that or let some...one into my life in ways I'd rather not. They can see all the skin of me they want if they meet me, no need to give it to them without at least buying me a dinner first," she replies with a wink, before she asks, "Where is it you're taking me?" half curiously, half to make conversation.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would laugh, "Somewehre a litlte more formal to speak if you would wish to lay out some of the basics of what I might expect of you in return if you agree and what your payment would be. I would have you on retainer, and in turn if you are offered jobs you have the right to decline them."

Ella Normandy has posed:
Ella Normandy hmmms, "MORE formal than a coffee shop? Such a place exists?" she asks, smiling just a little, "I am fine with a retainer, and being at your beck and call I suppose. So long as you don't abuse the privilege," she says with what might be described as an 'impish' smile towards the woman.

Emma Frost has posed:
Emma Frost would smile, "Why darling, you might not meind being at my beck and call in the slightest depending how things perform." Leading the woman through the streets in an almost roundabout way towards a small,private apartment.
