By day, an old, abandoned warehouse resides in the heart of Knockturn Alley. The two main entrances are always under lock and key, and, fortified with protective enchantments and curses. After the sun has set the doors are opened by a stoic bouncer, never once smiling. Bright, sparkling strobe lights bounce off the walls spilling into the open darkness. The sound, itself, never pierces the wizarding world dwelling just outside it's doors as drinks are poured and the fun begins.

The square wooden bar rests in the dead center of the club beneath a ring chandliers, seating and dining areas rooted all throughout. A generous stage is uplifted at the rear of the establishment, more often than not, hosting a DJ or a live band while the dance floor sprawls open wide between the bar and the stage. Lavatories can be found in the entrance foyer.

The second floor lacks any comfortable seating, but makes up for in an abundance of open dance floors, the DJ here is much louder, beating into the hearts of the dancers. A balcony extends out where patrons can rest and smoke, a smaller bar with a single tender rests outside to serve the tired patrons as well.

The third floor is VIP only, an extravagent scene for business officials and affairs, with, the feature of gorgeous women to dote on them. A bouncer is always protecting these doors. Just recently, a Victorian Era mirror has been hung, it seems out of place, but doesn't ever stir much more than a second or third glance.

It had been years since he last saw his baby girl, his precious daughter that had, in the end, caused so much trouble for him. His family had forbidden him to ever see the mother, his ex-wife, Diane. Idly, he began to wonder where she was, and what she was doing. He wondered if his daughter ever thought of him anymore. Her birthday was rolling in quickly, he’d have to find her something even if he couldn’t be there to see the smile on her face.

He shook his head, clearing his mind of all the memories of them. He had started a new life now. Dusk had fallen and by now, the sun was retreating back to the other side of the world. He nodded to the stoic bouncer at the door, the signal to open its mouth to the public.

It had been years since he last traversed the streets of Knockturn Alley… He wondered how much had changed. But with blinking lights and vibrating music humming deep into his flesh, he was surprised he could even think at all. The bodies began to swarm, and all at once, life burst within his nightclub.

Adette wandered around Knockturn Alley, cloaked in black, Ebony perched on her shoulder. She was utterly lost, but stumbled across what seemed to be a club, of sorts. What the heck. Might as well check it out. she thought as she entered the building. "Hello? Is anyone here?" she asked into the darkness. Then, the lights came on, the entire place coming to life. "Oh wow..." she mumbled, her eyes full of awe. It was then that she noticed the dark haired man in the room. "Oh. Hello. You're the owner, I assume? If it's not any trouble, could I apply for a job?" she said to him, lowering the hood on her cloak, revealing her long, black hair. Her raven remained on her shoulder, watching with dark, soulless, eyes.

{OOC: Application will be in next post.}

The world around him soared at ultra-speed, life seemed to blur together as he stood, immobile, in a sea of black and red, and flashing green and yellow and blue lights hanging over head, twinkling under the light of the four chandelier rings twirling up above. Statuesque, he hadn’t uttered a notion since the doors abruptly opened and the smallest flood of patrons swept within, not a second thought offered.

A voice spurred him from his thoughts, but with the loud music and distortion of lights and colors, he could barely hear her. He waved a hand, a motion for her to follow him as he slithered along to the heart of the building, where the wooden bar divides the patrons from the wait staff. ”Ah, welcome, welcome, I’m Henry Burke, and yes, this is actually the first night I’ve been able to open the doors to D’Lux Gold.

“—Well, I have a few bartending and dancing positions open. You’re more than welcome to fill one of these out,” He explained as his hand rose for a silent gesture, not a word spoken, but a smiling bartender slipped a roll of parchment in his hands before he idly handed it to Adette, taking this precise moment to linger a curious eye to the raven perched dutifully on her shoulder. ”So, indulge me, have you lived here long? It’s been a long few years since I’ve last been in London, or Diagon or Knockturn Alley—how much has changed?” He wondered, keen chocolate eyes trained on hers.

Adette followed him to the bar, sitting down at one of the stools. As he spoke, she was silent, intent on listening. He handed her an application, which she took, as well as an old fountain pen from the inside pocket of her cloak. "A pleasure to meet you, Mister Burke." she said as she filled out the application.

Name: Adette Carlson
Age: 29
Position Desired: Bartender (Dancing isn't really my thing, but if one is needed, I could do that as well.)
Skills: Very skilled in the kitchen (cooking, drink mixing, etc.), Occasionally singing... Not much more than that.
Injuries and/or illness: N/A

Once the application was completed, she handed it back to him. "Well, I don't live here, exactly. My house is in Cokeworth. I've lived there for nine years. Ever since my daughter was born. Oh, yes. I have two children. My boy, Chance, is ten, just about eleven, and my girl, Cecille, is nine, about to turn ten. All in all, I don't know much about this area. I actually found this place because I got lost..." she explained, feeling as if she was rambling on and on. She didn't go into much detail about her past, and for good reasons.

The nefariously charming man smiled, lips coated with honeyed sugar, sweet and inviting as he nodded his head in accordance to her tale, his lips spreading wider and wider as his smile grew and grew, Ruffling the mass of darkened curls on his head, fingers intertwining in thick locks, a forlorn glaze caught his eye. ”-Ah, precious. I have a little one of my own, actually, just finished her first year at Hogwarts. She lives with her mother, though….

“It was best that way.” He explained after a moments pause and repercussion, but his smile never faltered as he took hold of her application and scanned the contents at hand. ”Everything does seem to be in order Miss Carlson, how about you meet me here tomorrow night, I’ll have one of the girls show you the ropes and we’ll put you out on the floor for a few hours to see how you can handle the pressure—after that, we’ll talk about the details. At best, you’ll have yourself a new job, at worst, you’ll walk home with at least a heavy velvet pouch of sickles and galleons.” He concluded with a small chuckle.

Adette was locked in place by this man's smile. Quite the charmer, wasn't he? Nonetheless, she had a chance for a job! Hopefully it would give her enough money to pay the bills and feed her children. Maybe even buy them both a new pair of shoes. Yes. Chance would enjoy that, and so would Cecille, even if she couldn't see them. "Oh, thank you, mister Burke! You won't be disappointed. I promise. And if your daughter is anything like you, I'm sure she's lovely. I'd love to meet her someday. Well, I have to get home before the kids burn the house down. See you tomorrow, sir." she said, shaking his hand firmly before rising from the bar. With a final nod, she raised her hood over her head and took her leave.

Damned health inspector, Henry cursed as he finally filed away the last set of signed documentation stating proper regulations for his establishment, and with that taken care of, he could finally open officially. He should have been open since last summer, but, there were certain discrepancies that came to light—it was almost like someone was sabotaging him, but, he couldn’t guess who.

Idly, he wondered if the young Adette Carlson had found another job, or, would still be interested in tending his bar. Thick digits massaged tense muscles of his neck and shoulder as he reached the large iron front door and heaved it aside with one swoop of his hand. The music from the dance floor pounded into his ears all at once like a calling card, but he knew it wouldn’t reach the streets. It was magically enchanted to keep the rest of the block from tearing him down for lack of sleep. But the dancing lights and flood of customers gushed in as they did every night. Dusk had already fallen and the night was young, Henry waved the patrons along inside as the floor began to crowd and he swiftly apparated behind his bar seizing glasses and liquor as he poured drink after drink.

”Burke-!” William’s voice cut through the music with a shrill slash of metallic poison. His eyes of gold roved over the sea of patrons, bodies glowing under the strobe light, spinning and twirling all in unison. The heat was so much thicker in here compared to the cool early morning breeze; honestly, he was surprised the club was still open. But to them, he was sure; they only considered it late after hours. The early morning sun couldn’t be seen through the black windows of the establishment as he swam through the crowd and found his target, Henry.

”William,” the older man began, a bit startled, his wild auburn mane shook with a lions roar as he growled. ”I thought I told you not to see me here.”

”You changed the deal the moment you decided that she was more important than this,” William shook his head. ”And I thought you a man of loyalty.” William mocked him, because they both knew the lie behind that.

”What do you want, William,” Henry growled through clenched teeth, already toying with the idea of reaching for his wand.

”Go for that wand, Burke, and you’ll ensure her death…. I only wanted to help you, now, let me help you.” He stressed, a small poisonous and vindictive smirk creeping on to his lips.

”What do you want?” Henry grimaced.

”Oh, it’s a simple favor really… All I ask is that you keep this mirror hung in the walls of your VIP room, nothing more, nothing less.” William, though it almost pained him, offered a waning smile.

”Just a mirror?”

”Just a mirror.”

”Fine, but don’t come back here.”

”We both know that won’t happen.” William had all but grinned as he waved his hand before him, conjuring a mirror from the Victorian Era, fashioned with gold and silver, to appear behind the bar where Henry stood, before decidedly turning on his heel and striding out into Knockturn Alley.

Kalina threw the door open and strode gracefully into the bar. Her long, black lashes fluttered over brown irises as she carefully examined the club. Finding it to her liking, she smirked and made her way to the bar. She felt the music pounding in her ears and she found herself moving in time with the beat. Being careful with her six-inch heels, she sat down at one of the chairs and waited for the bartender to notice her. Sweeping her brown curls back, she analyzed the other people near her. She was generally adept at guessing their problems in life, and found it amusing to think about things that were none of her business.

Kalina had been trying to decide between staying or leaving to go dance when she heard a voice. Her face spread into a catlike smile, and she turned. A handsome, older man was near and trying to talk to her. Cute.
"My name is Lena. 'My drink' is usually Gin and cobra blood, but I'll settle for Vodka," she said lightly. Kalina was used to giving false names, but Lena was a favorite. It sounded almost like a nickname for her real one. Her brown eyes had a light spark in them when she smiled.
"And you are?"
