How quiet the Petal could be late at night. The bar wasn't on one of the more traveled streets of the mall area near the Nest, thus there weren't many patrons at this hour... just a single lamia and the ever-present bartender. This late at night, neither really expected anyone to show up, but if they did, they had their instructions.

 Fenrir Greyback found it quite interesting that he had recieved a letter. No one ever sent him mail. It was just something that never happened. Until today. He found it even more interesting that two others at the Castle recieved similar letters... How very interesting...
He was the first of the trio to enter the Petal, his red eyes looking around and mapping the place out. Then came one Rudolphus LeStrange, a much larger wolf, who gave the werewolf a run for his money when it came to... certain areas of crime. Last came the skittish fox that thought he was a snake and was constantly babbling about his Lord.  Rudolphus whistled a bit, as if to pass the time in his head, hands in his pockets as he strolled over to the bar. With a toothy grin, he leaned an elbow on the counter and looked at the bartender. "Not very busy tonight, hm? I'll take two shots of whiskey, straight up. Hey, got any candy too?" Ah yes... The big wolf was a candy addict. Barty Crouch Jr. peeked into the Petal, then hurried inside, looking around, hoping to find a certain lamia there... The one who'd sent him the letter. He whined slightly as he didn't find who he was looking for. Noo! Not good! Dammit all! His tongue flicked out slightly as his eyes darted around.

...well, well. It always happened when you least expected it, didn't it? Pulling out the requested drinks for Rudolphus, Seishirou nodded amicably at each of the three, smiling his trademark distant smile while Yu Jie slipped off. "Good evening to the three of you-- I assume you're here to see Lucius?"

"Shh!!" Barty hissed at him, glaring. "Don't say his name! Are you trying to cause problems?!" Lucius was a powerful Death Eater after all!
Rudolphus seemed less concerned that the scrawny fox. He set down some money on the counter, then drank one of the shots. "He's the one who told me to meet him here. Don't know 'bout the other ones," he said, nodding towards Barty and Fenrir.

"Lucius and I are close associates-- there is no harm in saying his name," Seishirou smiled, amused by the other. "Yu Jie has gone to fetch him-- please, enjoy yourselves and relax for the moment. As for you, Mr. Greyback, I believe that a different individual is set to meet you. Yu Jie is checking on that as well."

Rudolphus rolled his eyes. "Ignore the jittery one. He's not too sane these days." He made a face. "Azkaban does that to people." A moment later, he grinned, showing his fangs. "But Barty's a good kid! Aren't ya?" He wrapped an arm around Barty's shoulder, making the smaller fox yelp and spaz out a bit, flailing his arms as he was taken by surprise. Rudolphus ruffled his hair, much to Barty's protests.
Fenrir watched the bartender for a moment, seeming to consider the other's words. "Mind giving the name?" he asked, though it was more of a demand then question.

"One 'Rae'-- a coon who mentioned he's met you before," Seishirou smiled easily. "As for sanity, I quite understand the difficulties that can arise from captivity. Perhaps in time he'll come to trust me a bit more-- ah, there they are."
  True to Seishirou's word, Lucius slithered into the room followed in silence by the aforementioned coon. "Welcome," the snake smiled, motioning for Rudolphus and Barty to follow him to a booth on the side.
After coming into the open though, Rae simply smiled at Fenrir and grabbed a beer from Seishirou.

Fenrir's ears twitched slightly when he heard the name of the one who wanted to meet with him. Rae... He hadn't seen him in the longest time. He watched the coon as he took his beer, then returned the smile. Though, it was more of a smirk. "And here I thought you'd forgotten about me," he said, looking him over.
Barty narrowed his eyes, staring suspiciously at Lucius. How was he to know it was actually THE Lucius Malfoy? It could be an imposter.. Damn those imposters. >.< Damn them all for tricking him!
Rudolphus grabbed ahold of the smaller fox's shoulder and pulled him to the booth Lucius motioned to. Honestly... Barty was too paranoid at times.

"I've just been busy," Rae smirked back, motioning for Fenrir to follow him to a booth. "You want a drink?"
"Ah, Barty Crouch Junior-- still a bit paranoid from Azkaban? I would have thought you'd have found a new hobby by now than doubting those who only seek what we all do. And Rudolphus-- it's been quite a while, hasn't it?" Lucius smiled as he sat, considering them both. "Would either of you care for refreshments, or shall we just get down to business?"

Fenrir moved up beside the coon, slipping an arm around his waist, fingers toying with his shirt. "Busy with what?" he asked, shaking his head no at the drink offer. Greyback wasn't an alcohol person, believe it or not. He preferred the blood of babies. <.< >.>
Barty huffed and sulked slightly when Lucius called him paranoid. He wasn't paranoid... He was just suspicious. Very very suspicious. After all, the reason why he was sent to Azkaban in the first place was because of that damn Kakaroff (sp) jerk! >.< He was one of the first people on his revenge list... Besides, you'd be a bit paranoid too after that, AND dementors.
Rudolphus grinned a bit. "It has been awhile, Lucius. It's not like you came to visit me when I was locked up." He paused a moment, his expression as if he was actually annoyed that the lamia didn't bother to visit him... Then he grinned again and laughed. "Ah, but I'm not gonna hold that against ya, Lucy. I had quite a few friends in there!" He seemed rather proud of that fact. Yes.. His friends were the floating talking pineapples (that Nykol gives full credit to the absolutely AMAZING frikken artist of Accio!Brain, for the talking floating pineapples and the goofy-Rudolphus idea. X3 Seriously. Her art is AMAZING. Go look up Accio Brain! Do it! Now!)

"Meeting new people, playing some games with them," Rae shrugged eloquently. "Joined this 'Alliance' thing with my brother-- got some nifty toys from it."
Smiling slightly at both of them, Lucius considered it. In truth, they were the closest thing to true allies he had, if only because they'd been through so much together. But how much could he trust them? Did they actually resent him for his time outside when they'd been locked in Azkaban? Did it matter?
Well, it mattered-- but only on a base level. "So how have things been for the two of you here?"

Fenrir raised an eyebrow, looking at Rae curiously. "Really... Now that sounds very interesting," he said, smirking. "Care to elaborate? Or is it a some secret club thing?"
Rudolphus gave a shrug, as if he was indifferent about how things were going. "Could be better, could be worse. But I really can't complain. I've got a place to live, even if it is with some people I'd rather not be around. But the Castle is a hell of a lot better than Azkaban." He paused and got a distant look in his eyes, then shook his head slightly a second later and grinned at the lamia. "What about you, Luc? How's the infamous Malfoy family holdin' up?"
Barty decided to remain quiet and let Rudolphus do the talking, while he examined the both of them. His narrowed eyes watched every move the two made. If these two weren't loyal to his Lord, he'd find out.

"Well, it's something like a secret club-- a secret club of powerful whatevers," Rae smirked slightly. "They're after you to join, which is why you got called down here. The only ones who can get into this place right now are those with the letters."
"Quite well, actually. Thus the reason I asked you both here tonight," Lucius smiled slightly-- not a comforting smile, one more like the disconcerting smile he'd worn during countless interrogations during the war. "I've managed to procure a mansion which I think might be useful towards the end of resurrecting our Lord-- I'd like to invite the two of you to visit it with me sometime, if you'd care to.
"There are also... a few other matters we should discuss," Lucius smiled. "Such as some of the rumors and groups that are floating about right now."

Now Fenrir was very interested... So they wanted him? "Out of curiousity, what is it that they see in me that makes them want me in it? Aside from good looks, obviously." The last comment was sarcastic.. somewhat. "And what do I get out of it?"
Rudolphus's expression turned serious at the mention of the Dark Lord. "He's coming back then.." he asked, though it was more of a statement. "That is very relie-"
"Where is He?!" Barty cried, almost climbing over the table to get closer to Lucius. "Where--"
Rudolphus grabbed the fox by the scruff of the neck and forced him to sit back down. Clamping another hand over his mouth, he looked back to Lucius. "I will. And if Barty can behave himself, we might be able to allow him to go as well." His ears twitched slightly at the mention of rumors and groups. "Such as..?"

"Power. Protection," Rae shrugged as he pulled out a well-worn leather case seemingly from thin air. "In the form of these." The coon showed Fenrir charm after charm-- powerful ones. The werewolf wouldn't be able to use them or sense exactly what they could do-- just that they had power. More power in one little case than most would have access to in a lifetime.
"I've been gathering together a group of individuals-- just as a 'support net', if you will. It's going to gather some attention, at least, if all works out, it will," Lucius thought it better to reply to Rudolphus than deal with Barty's fears now.
"In the past, there was a group like this before-- though smaller, and we were stopped before my plans had a chance to finish. Large groups attract a great deal of attention around here-- and give us access to other powers beyond wizards-- which means that everyone will be looking to the group. Meanwhile, I plan for the rest of us to be summoning our Dark Lord back from where he currently is, so that he can regain his rightful place.
"How does that sound to the two of you?"
