Zane walked into the club wearing a jet black robe and matching hood to cover his face. He was finally beginning his undercover mission of infiltrating the Death Eaters and temporarily becoming one of them- so he figured he should at least try and look like one. His intention was to stick out like a sore thumb and draw the attention of any of Voldemort's nearby followers. In order to be officially inducted into their group, Zane knew he was going to need to gain their trust first and make sure that there was no question as to whether he was a spy for the Order or not. He had to admit that he was slightly nervous though. He hadn't ever really done anything of this sort before.
He slowly strode up to the bar and sat down, looking around at the people surrounding him. He closely examined the area, checking for anyone who looked even slightly like a Death Eater. "Firewhiskey." Zane quietly muttered to the bartender.

Lucius walked into the club, feeling bored and apathetic. It was his first night at camp, and already he was sneaking out. He didn't think he could stand rooming with those other children. Dumbledore had a lot of nerve, mising houses like that. He walked over to the bar and ordered a glass of brandy. Looking around, he spotted someone in a dark cloak with a hood over his face. "You're a bit overdressed, don't you think?" he commented, taking a sip of his brandy.

"Maybe so. But I just like my privacy." Zane replied, looking towards the kid who had spoken to him. He was slightly disappointed that this guy was so young, but pretty much anyone would work for the beginning of his plan. As long as the kid was a Death Eater and knew at least something about the group. "What's it to you anyway? Shouldn't you be at school?" He asked, grinning before taking a small drink of his firewhiskey.

"School's out," Lucius replied, sipping his drink. "And I've already graduated from that stupid muggle-loving school, anyway." He decided not to mention that he was in magic camp. "Privacy is good, I suppose, but it makes you stick out in a place where people come to meet other people. Unless, of course, you're hoping to meet a certain kind of person... such as vampires and dark creatures."

"Vampires and dark creatures?" Zane repeated with a slight chuckle. "No, I'm here for much more important matters than that. How about you though? Or is that what you spend your time doing- making friends with vampires and the like?" He asked.

"Actually, I've never met any myself," Lucius replied. "And I'd hardly think them worth my time. But I do have... connections. Powerful connections." He smiled slightly. He was proud of his connection with the Dark Lord, even if he had yet to give him an assignment of his own. But he had no doubt that he would do so soon.

Zane gave the boy a curious look. "Powerful connections? Powerful connections with who?" He asked, hoping the boy's answer would confirm that his thoughts were correct. When he had first walked in, he had hardly thought that the first person he would start a conversation with would be one of them.

Lucius took a sip of his drink. "Well," he said slowly, "I don't like to brag... well, OK, I do." He laughed at his own joke. Then the smile faded from his face and he lowered his voice. "But.... well, you've heard of the one they call the Dark Lord, have you not?"

Zane nodded, grinning slightly. "Yes, yes, of course." He raised an eyebrow at the kid underneath his hood. "It's quite hard to believe that such young man as yourself would be working for him but I suppose it doesn't sound completely below him to start recruiting youngsters fresh out of school. You do seem like the type anyway." He took another drink. "But speaking of the Dark Lord...he just so happens to be the reason I'm here. I'm interested in joining the club." He explained honestly, deciding to finally remove his hood from over his head.

"Really?" Lucius said, raising an eyebrow at him. "And what makes you think you are worthy? Are you from a good family? He won't take just anyone, you know." He looked hard into the other man's eyes, trying to figure him out. "Still, we are always looking for good recruits. If you think you can pass the Dark Lord's test, I may be able to arrange a meeting between you. What is your name?"

"My family is more than fine." Zane quickly replied, giving the boy a small glare and clenching his jaw. Coincidentally, his family was most of the reason he was in this. "And if he considers you- a young kid barely out of school- and half the other people he recruits as worthy, then I should pass with flying colors. You're not exactly what I would consider tough competition." He said sharply. "My name is Zane Larkin. I'm interested in joining because I want revenge and I want to show the half-brained freaks in the Order that I'm worth something. I want to be able to see the fear in their faces when I have my wand at their throat. The Dark Lord seems to be the only one in this world with enough power to really frighten people enough to make them afraid of even saying his name. So I figure the best way to get what I want is to join up with you guys and serve your leader. Does that spell it out well enough for you?"

Lucius held up his hands defensively. "OK, OK. I was just checking. Surely you can imagine that I can't just bring in any person who claims to have an 'interest' in joining with the Dark Lord without asking a few questions first!" Lucius took a sip from his drink. "I may be young, but I come from an impeccable family, and I impressed him greatly when I met with him. I'll arrange a meeting with him for you, and we'll see what happens from there. I make no promises, since I don't claim to know the way his mind works. He is above us all, and he will accept you only if he deems you worthy."

Zane nodded, taking another drink of his firewhiskey and calming down a little bit. "Whatever. If you think which family you come from really matters that much, then I don't expect you to understand my motives for wanting to join anyhow. You're just like the rest of the Dark Lord's army. Clueless and conceited. I couldn't blame him if he was anxious for a change in the mental state of his followers. And to be frank, I'm just the person who can give him that change." He finished, looking down at the empty bottom of his glass."So then...how long have you actually been working for him? Surely you haven't been in his service for more than a year or so, if that. Have you even been assigned to any tasks yet?"

"Awfully defensive, aren't you?" Lucius sneered. "Some people might wonder what you were hiding." He tossed his hair over his shoulder. "I've only been a Death Eater for 6 months, it's true. I've done a few... small... things for him so far, but I'm currently on the trail of a locket that the Dark Lord covets greatly." He sipped his drink again and looked at the other man carefully. "Very well. I'll arrange a meeting with him for you. But I make no promises."

"Thank you." Zane finally said through gritted teeth. He stroked the side of his empty glass out of boredom. After a few moments of silence, Zane turned towards the young man with a raised eyebrow and an expression of mild amusement. "What's with your hair?" He asked, holding back a chuckle. "Have you considered....trimming it? It doesn't seem like it would be too hard to mistake you for a young woman from a far distance."

Lucius's eyes flashed. "It so happens that I like my hair just as it is. My hair grows very quickly, and if I cut it today, it would be back at this length by tomorrow. Wizard hair has a tendency to do as it wishes... so I just make sure it looks good."

"If you say so." Zane shrugged. "Anyhow, just make sure you look into setting up that meeting soon. I don't want it to be another three months before I hear anything about it again. I respect the fact that the Dark Lord will see me when he wishes to, but I'm not one to be ridiculously patient."

"Understood," Lucius replied. "And I don't think you'll have to wait all that long. The Dark Lord is anxious to add as many followers as possible. He's suffered some losses as of late, and is looking for good recruits. You seem smarter than some of the insipid fools who dare to pretend themselves worthy. I think he will be eager to meet you."

"Great." Zane replied shortly. "I think that's all that needs to be said then. I don't feel sticking around much longer. This place is filled with too many repulsive fools for my liking." He said, pushing his glass away from him and standing up. He leaned in closer to the man. "Don't screw this up for me. This isn't something I take lightly." Zane added before walking off.
