Niina enters the club, her face hidden behind a large pair of gold rimmed sunglasses. Her style clearly sets her apart among the mass crowd of mercenaries and baseliners. Taking a tidbit of Amarr styling and adding her own ironic twist, a golden vest lays over her partially shredded "Eskola Ergonomics" top, revealing a touch of midriff that would still be seen as absolutely unacceptable to any respectable priest. Her silver shorts still leave plenty of leg showing for her to flaunt her gold trimmed sneaker booties that reach up far past her ankles and flare out at the tongue.
She is lightly dusted with a coating of gold and silver glittered, with a variety of pins and ribbons barely keeping her wild hair in order. A variety of rings and necklaces adorn her from every angle, glimmering in the flashing lights of the club. Being CEO of a corporation was all about keeping up appearances, and she had hoped her outfit would attract plenty of attention towards Eskola SVK.
She checks her datapad.
Galm is bringing in profits... Barely. But he's too impulsive. Right when they can afford to get the attention of a client he goes and wastes it on new weapons, aircraft, and a variety of **** he doesn't need. She hopes the Black Eagle suits she managed to allocate to him helps in any way. While he brought in funding from standard contracts, Niina would look far and wide to locate their next potential costumers.
Eskola Intelligence Commission. The words echoed again and again in her head, sounding better every time. The universe had and ample supply of soldiers. What it needs are more spies.
"Yo!" she hollers, whipping off her sunglasses to reveal her eyes outlined in gold mascara, "What gentleman wants to buy this girl a drink?"

The mood in the club is outstanding! The bar tender catches Niina's attention and slides her a colorful mixed drink, telling her it's on the house. She immediately swallows the first one down, puckering slightly at the sweet and sour flavor. Another mercenary orders the bar another round of drinks, quickly replacing the one Niina had just finished off.
Damn girl! Do we know how to pick a scene or what? she boasts in her head.
Quote:"I hope you don't mind my company, Ms...." Demel says pulling up towards Niina.
He was perhaps shorter than her, but perhaps not in ethos, his demeanor was calm, confident, and charismatic. A slight smile danced on his face and his eyes glowed in a serene yet somehow suave nature.
"A drink for the fine lady, not too hard, nor too soft, " Demel soothes to the bartender while staring at Niina, back pointed towards the bar and elbows resting upon it, "And something of the same for me."
By the time this mercenary is done talking, Niina's already polished off her second drink.
"M--Make it something stronger! This weak ass kakku **** isn't doing anything for me!"
She looks over at Demel, covering her mouth playfully.
"Sorry, mixed drinks get me a bit mouthy... Among other things. My name's Niina."
She eyes Demel up and down. He seemed like just the sort of interesting that'd she wouldn't mind being around.

Demel Derpovsky wrote: "Niina you say? That's an interesting name," He then looks over to her jacket, "and an interesting jacket."
Before he even finishes, Niina starts pulling off her jacket to show him. She leans forward in her seat slightly to display it. Every part of it seems finely ctafted, from the golden fabric its silver hood. Covering its many folds are a series of patches of different bands and pop culture references, including a perfect replica of a badge from the Gallente show CPF Blue. She throws it over the back of her chair, showing off her tank top. A crudely spray painted emblem for Eskola Ergonomics gives it a certain rustic appearance.
Quote:He drinks his drink smoothly and bites his bottom lip a little, alcohol wasn't his best, and he did not want to get drunk.
"So tell me, what is Eskola?"
"My corporation," Niina grins as she takes a sip of her next drink.
"I'm kind of a big deal. At least, I think I am."
She giggles for a moment before leaning forward again and pulling her shirt taunt against her chest to display the emblem.
"I'm joking, we're small time for now. That comes with advantages though. Less paperwork, y'know?"
She winks at Demel.
"Transactions like weapon modifications, arms shipments, and intelligence networking doesn't have to get wrapped up in the corporate bullshit."
She covers her mouth again and blushes slightly as she grins.
"I got slow down on this drinking!" she stammers with a smile.
Sit up, make him think you're interested in him, show off a bit, lean forward, fein helplessness... Men always seemed to fall for the same act.

Demel Derpovsky wrote:"Want to dance," he says suddenly, "I know the DJ's line up for today, he's going to play a slow-dance song in the next song. It's up to you really, but after all I did treat you to a drink." Niina looks at him for a moment, remaining completely silent as she rests her head on the bar and looks up at him with a plain expression. When she finally speaks her eyebrows drop harshly and her lips curl into a pout.
"What, so you buy a girl a drink and you think that gives you a free ticket to try and get in her pants? I mean... That is what you're after, isn't it? Really, if it is then you might as well just skip all formalities and 'cut to the chase.'"

Demel Derpovsky wrote: Demel turns and calmly looks at his drink and sips at as she speaks, his face slowly becomes calm, open eyed, but calm along with a slow inhale and turns to her with his usual smile.
"Hm...I guess let's cut the chase." He says with a sly, curling grin developing on his face.
"Demel Derpovsky," He extends his hand outward in a formal and poignant Caldari manner with a dry, monotone voice, "CEO of Derringer Defenses."
She doesn't shake it.
Quote: His face has gone dark, his eyes fixed on her face with a deep, sharp gaze. Lips reposed but stern configure, back straight, shoulders spread and legs formally tucked in towards the chair.
"It'll be fun being in competition with you, a good performance of economics and politics...minus the legalities I hope." He says, his same cunning grin reappearing and a slight inhale at the end.
"Yes. I am sure you will become a major competitor in the... Door market I assume?"
Niina's brow furrows under her bangs.
"I wish you the best of luck running your hardware store."
Quote: He then checks the time on his neural neocom with a slight twitch of the eye.
"Well, now that the formalities are done, I have more important affairs to attend to. Have fun at the bar- and.....loose the jacket....I mistook you for a working lady the moment you entered the bar with those clothes, but keep the logo....that is a nice font."
Demel stands up from his chair and backs away slowly in a slight limp motion and waves with wavy fingers, his grin full on and a slight high chuckle following suit. With a swivel of the ball of his foot he walks away towards Jakar's office.
I mistook you for a working lady the moment you entered the bar with those clothes, she mocks in her head once he's skipped off, I could say the same for you ya misogynistic prick.
She takes another sip from her drink.
I mean... He's right about this outfit. That was kind of the point... But it wasn't like I could get any intel out of that guy anyway.
This club started to feel like a dry hole. There had to be someone interesting around.

Arc-08 wrote:"I support the colors of my allies, i run Minmatar assault, i use gallente assault rifles, but i'm going to get the combat rifle as soon as the manufacturers start producing them. However I am known more for my extreme dropship piloting skills, i can do all kinds of fancy manuevers to outrun those pesky swarms, alas the forge gunners always get me no matter what." states arc with a tone of sadness *Arc glances at the interupting man named Mistaahh (Interesting) thinks Arc
"Well it was nice to see you again Heathen, i believe i'm off to find some new story to hear" (Or there was that Caldari woman... eh i've talked to lots of gallente mercs before) Arc decides to talk to the caldari woman *Arc stares at the face of the Caldari Woman .... (Niina Eskola, Head of her own corporation,) Arc takes note of this information given to him by his facial recognition modification
*Arc walks up to Niina "Hello Ma'am you must be Niina Eskola! Head of Eskola Ergonomics, pleasure to meet you". (So far so good) thinks Arc, (Hey i might finally be getting this social stuff down) Arc mentally pats himself on the shoulder ((You too Demel, sorry if I get a bit too IC sometimes. I kind of just let the character take over at some point.))
Niina picks her head off the bar and looks up at Arc with her golden eyes.
"That is my name," she says with a sarcastic smile, "That's why I wear this shirt here, so I remember!"
She pulls her shirt taught like she had for Demel, giggling sweetly as she hides her face behind her hair and bites her lip.
"Sorry," she chuckles, "That was mean of me. I'mma... bit... drunk."
The words come out of her mouth slow and deliberately with a childlike intonation. If she was feigning helplessness before, it's obvious now that she's just plain hammered now. Now fall-down-and-****-yourself hammered, she was a bit too good for that... But she certainly wasn't sober.

Arc-08 wrote:*Arc stands next to Niina and motions if he can take a seat. *Arc sees that Niina is looking kinda drunk, Arc unzips his jacket and reaches into an internal pocket. He pulls out a small flask with a purpleish liquid, "Here drink this." Arc says to Niina handing her his very own potion he made to get rid of the effects of being drunk,
"Don't worry, the side effects aren't worse than what you'd get the next day without drinking this." adds Arc
((LEITHE IS TALKING TO JAKAR, NIINA I'M BACK AT YOUR TABLE :) )) "Oh please!" Niina giggles with a wave of her hand and a smile.
"I drink to get drunk dude! Why else would I be drinking this... What am I drinking?"
She eyes her glass, unable to remember what exactly she's been sipping down.
"Besides, drinking odd colored fluid from a stranger? Sounds like date-**** to me."

Arc-08 wrote:*Arc looks Niina in the eyes with strict seriousness, "yeah a date" scoffs Arc, "... I don't do dates." Arc reads a bit more info on Niina "also, you are already in a relationship" "W--... Ugh, nevermind," Niina sighs, wiping her brow.
((OOC: That censored word was the "r" word in you mistranslated my message))
She rubs her temples slightly, trying to force her eyes wide open.
"I would love to talk business with you sir... Spirits know I'm used to doing these types of deals buzzed as it is. I apologize if my behavior was at all offputting, please don't let that effect your opinions of my company or my product."

Arc-08 wrote:"No that does not effect my opinion of you or your corp, we are in a club after all." (hmm maybe i shoulda waited) contemplates Arc
"If you would prefer, I can come back at a later time so you can enjoy yourself now?" states Arc matter of factually.
"I'm sure I can discuss any dealing with you in my current condition, sir. But I am willing to do whatever is most convenient for yourself. We can either discuss them now, or you can reach me or my partner at any time in the Summit Temple."

Arc-08 wrote:*Arc looks at Niina, then Arc looks around the club for nearby people (seems secure)
"Okay i'll invest 40 million ISK into Eskola Ergonomics Corp, for whatever you need the money for. or just to help you start making a larger profit. then in lets say 6-8 months how much interest would you say sounds fair for me to profit?" Arc says to Niina
(This seems like a fairly solid investment to) thinks Arc (at least it won't be the worst investment i've ever made) "That's a steep investment."
Niina signals for another drink and shoots back what's left in her glass.
"Never liked deals that large. Dangerous to the creative process... Makes production less about profits and more about making sure we keep certain individuals happy. If you want to purchase a service of ours and reap whatever comes with the gamble of our success, feel free. But that will be at your express, not my own."

Arc-08 wrote:"Oh, i see. so what would you say to a five million isk investment, and over the course of maybe ten months, if that sounds fair you return 5 million plus 4% of what you profit from the invested money." *Arc offers Niina "That certainly does sound... Enticing. It'd certainly be enough to purchase larger industries... Yes, I suppose I could meet you with that deal Arc-haan."
Niina smiles and turns to face him.
"I'm certainly glad I got the chance to speak with you today! You must be pretty intelligent for investing in my corporation, and that makes you interesting! Please, tell me about yourself."

*Arc smiles at Niina "And remember you do not have to sign this contract if you do not want to. It would be my pleasure to invest in your corporation, but i understand that if this is not good for you or your corporation then you don't have to sign. I'd like to see your corp prosper under your command."
"Naturally."
Niina doesn't even bother taking her eyes off the contract. Over time she had learned the importance of ensuring every detail was carefully observed before signing.
"Frankly I'm amazed you managed to draft a contract this quickly with such few mistakes. Then again, this all looks relatively simple. Five million ISK loan to be repaid at the end of the yearly contract with a twelve month compounded interest is the agreement, yes?"
She signs the contract and passes it back to Arc.
"I accept your terms."

Arc-08 wrote:"Well since i do enjoy doing business, i have a handful of different contract blueprints, i can then simply fill out the specific details... names amounts addresses and additional requirements into open spaces. Some people don't want to do business if it takes to long so i make sure i can compete with impatience."
*Arc takes the contract back from Niina "Well it was a pleasure to do business with you, now if you don't mind my asking. your turn to tell me about yourself, yes i know about the factual side of your life as a merc, but no records exist in my file before that."
(hmm i hope that was not a bad question to ask) Arc ponders his question and if it was a socially *okay* question "Actually..."
Niina cocks her head.
"I'm not a mercenary at all. I mean, my company dabbles in bloodshed but I myself have never seen a combat tour. I received my implant for medical reasons."
She habitually rubs her neck were it would have gone in.
"I was a tube born with quite a bit of genetic damage... No deformities thankfully or I probably would have been rejected entirely. But I did have to deal with plenty of diseases when growing up. Sickle cell anemia, ataxia telangiectasia, and no small amount of bone marrow deficiencies."
She laughs lighheartedly to hide the pain of those memories.
"You can imagine what that was like as a kid, hearing all those words and having no idea what they meant or how dangerous they were. It was kind of nice not having to worry. At least until I started getting really sick. I managed to deal with it for a while without even thinking about it. Then one day Galm up and left..."
She looks pained, but knows she's already said too much. She couldn't stop the memory from coming back even if she wanted to.
"He meant a lot to me, and when I thought he'd left for good I kinda felt like there wasn't any point in taking my medicine anymore. He came back, eventually, when I finally got enough money to hire him back without looking like a loser. By that point though I'd already gotten really sick..."
She digs her nails into her arms and looks down, avoiding Arc's glance.
"So... I didn't have many options after that. I could either stay in the body I was born in and do my best to keep alive or see if I'd survive making the jump to a clone. Our implants mean that we don't need to enter a body that's gentically similar like capsuleers, so I wouldn't have to worry about getting that ill ever again."
She brushes her hair aside and looks back at Arc.
"So yeah... Not a merc."

Arc-08 wrote:(well crap that was awefull, i need to ask less questions and stick more business) thinks Arc
"Oh wow, i'm surprised that the state allowed you to do something like that. I'm sorry that you had such a painful childhood, i swear to you that i donate to hospitals, and that my parents did too. Well you look fine now, and doing good business as well so you turned out to be one of the lucky ones."
*Arc looks at Niina with sympathy then smiles "Yeah. Thanks I guess. Lai Dai paid for most of the medical expenses when I was a child until they sold me off from the orphanage. The State doesn't really do anything nonprofit, so I doubt it would matter if you donated to hospitals or not. But I suppose your sympathy still counts for something. Forgive me, I can't tell you aren't interested and I shouldn't have even brought it up."
She takes another sip from her drink.
"I get a bit chatty when I feel sad."

*As Heathen yells drinks on the Republic Arc claps his hands like everyone else in the club does, then goes back and sits by Niina.
"Oh some of the people you will find in a club, am I right?" Arc says to Niina (Not wasted, drunk :P) "Not to worry, mate, had worse." As heathen yells free drinks, he grins, and starts clapping along "You shoulda seen the guys I used to sell drinks to."
She laughs, thinking about the day a young Gladiator champion dragged himself into her cabaret.
