Sebastian Shaw has posed:
Upon inquiry into Hellfire Club membership, Violet would be informed that in fact she was already on the books. It may be a surprise to her to know that she is a member of the exclusive club, but currently identified as a Legacy due to her parents' involvement. An appointment is arranged to meet with Sebastian Shaw, the owner, to discuss transitioning to full VIP membership. And as such, the meeting is arranged to occur at the VIP Lounge itself.

Seated within the lushly appointed lounge, Sebastian Shaw is wearing a Victorian era styled jacket, deep purples with black filigree, white lace spilling out from his sleeves and collar. A glass of wine sits before him as he waits at the table to which he Violet is guided by the staff.

Violet Paige has posed:
At first glance Violet Paige certainly does not look like she belongs. Dressed in a battered leather jacket, long t-shirt with David Bowie's face on it and figure hugging black pants. But a closer inspection would pick out key details which mark her as something other than a typical twenty something. The ensamble is all either vintage or designer. If perhaps not /quite/ as vintage as items from the Victorian era!

The little bag she's got slung over her shoulder alone costing more than a typical car. And the sunglasses covering her eyes, bloodshot from either a very late night or a scandalously early start to her evening, seem to be exclusive limited edition.

Inspite of that she seems able to walk casually, without swaying or stumbling, allowing herself to be guided by the staff.

Sebastian Shaw has posed:
Looking up as Violet arrives, Sebastian offers a warm smile towards her, rising up from his seat and coming out from around his table. "Ah, Ms. Paige, welcome to the Hellfire Club." As a member, she has a dossier on file, naturally.

He seems not at all bothered by her attire - in fact, the VIP Lounge is filled with all manner of dress. The dress code locked aspect of the Hellfire Club is elsewhere, enforced in either the more public or the more private sections. The VIP lounge - that is for those who can afford to not have to follow any rules.

"I am pleased that you reached out to express interest in joining us in a more active sense."

Violet Paige has posed:
The dossier for Violet Paige certainly makes for.. interesting reading. Her father dead in a hunting accident. The sole survivor of a tragic fire at her boarding school. Tragedy seems to follow her everywhere she goes. Between that and her money she's practically the perfect Gotham socialite.

Rich enough to envy and yet also easy to pity.

It also helps she's had a series of high profile train wreck relationships. Rumoured stays in rehab (which even the HFC would find tough to verify). And literal fights with the media. Suffice to say the Gotham press love her or at least writing stories about her.

"Charmed I'm sure," she offers in greeting. Along with the little socialite wave Shaw must have seen a million times before (and which ranks quite poorly in comparison). "I was speaking with a friend at a gathering recently. And they couldn't stop gushing over how discreet the clubs gatherings are."
