"If monsters are shaped." Erik's voice is dull and bitter, eyes turned up towards the ceiling, fixed on the patterns there. He sees Shaw only in the corner of his vision. "Who shaped you?"

“Now, son,” he says, and his voice is like a knife inhoney, the edge just barely visible, barely tangible-(reach in, just a little further, just an inch, and you’llcut yourself-)“What kind of a question is that to ask somebody?There are no monsters in this world. Not a one. There’sno such thing and never has been. There’s only men, only different types of men. That’s all. Some better thanothers, sure- but we knew that, didn’t we?”That bony hand, no longer as stark a white as it used tobe but still so hot and cold and wrong, lays itself likea patient spider on Erik’s knee. It squeezes. A bone creakssomewhere.“Of course, if you’re asking where I was born, that sort of thing,I’d have to say I was surprised at the sudden interest. But Ihad a mother, I had a father, just like anybody else. Fine people.Small. But fine people all the same. A sister too, can you imagine?Her name was Karla. I wonder if she’s still around.”

"I'm curious, Mr. Shaw," Bones says, as he returns to the booth with a drink in hand and slides in to sit. "How did you get your hands on a place like this? And the /women/-!" [bonescharotic]

“Exquisite, aren’t they?” Shaw says, his smile slow, but full of satisfaction. The thigh of the girl that leans down to light his cigar over which he runs his fingertips is round, bare except for the stockings- seams impeccably straight of course, and Shaw does check. The girl giggles a little too breathlessly, but does not move. A muscle spasms. A garter is twitched back into place.“They’re good girls, Doctor McCoy. No better company if a man happens to be feeling lonesome. And such a picture they make.”He hollows his cheeks on an inhale, smoke shrouding his face for a moment. His hand moves slowly, almost absently as he speaks with the doctor, his appreciation of her body queerly detached, her nakedness like the nakedness of a statue to him. “I’ll have to admit that luck had a large part in my success- a fellow who puts his mind to it in the right place, at the right time can do just about anything he pleases. 

“Atomic fever took hold of me, as fate would have it, not so long after medical school, back home in Pennsylvania. I felt the desert calling me, and what could I do?”

Someone makes their way through the crowd to approach the Black King, smiling excitedly. He's short, blond, and looks very soft. "Mr. Shaw, am I right? James T. Kirk, my pleasure. A fine establishment you have here." His grip on Shaw's hand is warm, enthusiastic; his smile is the same. Just behind him, to his left, stands a small, older man who beams at the women around him; to his right, a tall, strange fellow with curiously green-tinged skin. The latter looks utterly impassive.

“Guilty as charged, you’ll find,” he says, pale eyes flicking carefully over each man. The clear leader here is stocky, about as American as they come. Looks like the sort of fellow who might be more at home at a gimcrack little fair somewhere, showing off a prized hog, but the face... with a face like that, the man could be in pictures.

There’s more to that one than meets the eye, he decides.

Shaw puts a little more than human strength into clasping his hand, just in case. 

The old-timer, the one with the bright eyes; nothing too remarkable. Matter of fact- he strikes the master of that insidious alliance that lurks underneath the bright facade of the Club Atomic as the type that’ll sing like a canary if so much as asked about his purpose here. However, the last one, there... now, just what do we have here? What sort of fellow keeps his hat on once he comes in from out of doors?

Emma, he thinks softly, a whisper that he knows will carry just as far as it needs to, we’ve got company, sweetheart. Skim them, won’t you? Something tells me that among them there’s at least one of us.

“The pleasure’s all mine. Now, what can I do for you gentlemen?”

"Thank you, no."

“Shame. Of course, you are a busy man.”
