"Hey, I bet you'd enjoy servitude. Wouldn't you Kirky?" And that's another poke in the ribs for the poor drow. "But seriously, what if we just wager whatever we want and the other players just have to accept the wager first?" She suggests before turning to Kirk. "And who the heck is Kal? Do you know him?"
-
Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Game Tables]
Kirk shakes his head at Dena and chuckles. "I think betting whatever sounds fine by me. It makes things interesting." The drow spares another glance back in the direction of Kal and the craziness over there. "As for Kal, I used to work with him." Both being members of AMEN is working together, right? Dena might guess that's what he means, though Khyli will of course not.
As for how we'll RP it, Kirk is significantly better at cards than I am, so some handwaving will be required.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Game Tables]
IRL, I'm terrible at playing card games. I'm very rarely lucky enough to be dealt half-decent hands and I don't have the first clue about what to do with the bad hands I usually end up with.
Khyli isn't as horrid as I am at card games, but she's no pro at them either. While she does have an extensive knowledge base book-wise on card game strategies and etc to use in a match, in application she isn't as good as she could be and likely isn't as good at cards as many of the other dealers. Hopefully, the inherent house advantage might keep her from being cleaned out by Dena and Kirk too quickly.
"Betting whatever works for me too, then. As we're all in agreement on wagers, betting is now open. I'll deal a game of standard poker to start the night off after everyone places their bets and we'll transition to more complex games progressively as the night goes on, if you'd like. Sound good to you two?"
And she will if they agree that it is good, though she wants to allow someone else to bet first because she doesn't quite know how high/low Dena and Kirk would like the wagers to be.
She coughs a little on learning about Kirk's relationship with Kal, politely covering her mouth with her elbow. They...worked together? But that Kal guy was cross dressing in the garb of a lady of the night! Does that mean that... It does logically follow and he didn't say what his job was when asked.
"You worked with him? I take it that you were the nurse to his policewoman. What would it take to hire you for a coming-of-age party for a female friend of mine?" :smallconfused:
:smalltongue:

Hopefully this will stop everyone in their tracks.
Look, you people need to tell me exactly what you're doing before I throw ALL OF YOU out.
And you know I can do it.
She looks at Kal.
You first.
Why are you breaking down Mr. Rita's door and what are your intentions?

Well there's a mental image.
His attack succeeds, but now he's an old man ninja lying on top of a incredibly fit half-devil ninja in the prime of his youth. One who has a... significant level of experience in horizontal acrobatics, I might add. The elbow does little to prevent Kal from attempting to grapevine his legs around the old man's, then hurl him off and sit on him in a rather standard mount position, where he can grab the old man's arms and twist them behind his back, locking them in place with his full weight.
"You know, I tend to find myself in this situation more than you might think."
As you should know if you've watched any martial arts films, the old ninja is always about ten times as badass as the young one. The Grandmaster springs to his feet (one of those flip up to vertical from horizontal instantly ones) before Kal has a chance to start the grapevine, and smoothly steps away.
"It has been a long time since I have faced a worthy adversary. I hope we will fight again under less opposing intents."
He turns to Felandria.
"I apologise for jumping in ahead of my opponent, but I wish to make my point. I intervened to prove that I am not, as the proprietor of this place thinks, too old for security work. In fact, I am preferable to almost any younger man, as I have decades of experience in the art of unarmed combat. I am Grandmaster Shui'yan, at your service."
He bows, keeping a careful eye on Kal in case he tries anything.

"You never told me you were in that business Kirky." Dena says with mock surprise. She always suspected of course. "Now you really got to tell me, what sort of working relationship did you and Kal have? I bet you looked so hot together up on the stage. No wonder you amassed such a fortune."
The cards can wait for the time being, unless Kirk would bet any information about his previous job as a stripper.
-
Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Game Tables]
"...Excuse me?" Kirk is caught off guard by that particular conclusion being leaped to. "Er, no. Believe me, I'm as surprised by his choice in clothing as anyone." He shoots Dena a glare without all that much menace behind it. Of course she's taken this opportunity to mess with him. He's never going to hear the end of it.
"How about the game, then? I'll start the betting." Subject change. This is the best plan. "How about we start small? A kiss for the lovely lady that wins it." He proposes with a small smirk.
-
Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Game Tables]
Aw! Khyli is disappointed! With that experience and set of skills under his belt, Kirk would've been the greatest source of entertainment at that party for a friend she mentioned, she believes! She's not that disappointed, though, and the spoils Kirk has offered to the victor of this hand of cards are more than sufficient to set her devil tail gently and cheerily wagging in excitement!
"I'll accept that wager, if the kiss is on the lips."
Khyli kittenishly qualifies before tapping her chin with her index finger as she thinks about what she wants to wager on this hand of equal or greater value.
"Hm... I think I'll up the ante on this one. A passionate kiss and a gentle embrace to the gorgeous lady or the dashing gentleman who wins this hand."
-
Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Game Tables]
Dena responds by shooting a smug smile in Kirk's direction. He should know better than to make comments like that. She then turns to Khyli again. "What happens if the winner isn't interested in the prize? I'd say we get money instead, as a replacement. Personally I wager a sword dance if anyone is interested."

Kissing on the other hand, is de-stressing. Which is nice. Mmmm... kissing. Guess he has no more complaints for the time being.
Marciano groans at the rubble, before getting back up off the floor. Damn this all. He is in a terrible mood, and who wouldn't be? He gets himself ready, then speaks. What the hell?! Seriously, you people. Who are you?!

If the spell works, she should think exactly what he said. The tall man will then head for the office again, since he needs to talk to Mr. Ritz about the half dragon woman.
I'm confused... Half dragon, where? :smallsigh:

[Entrance Doohicky!]
There's the one that just walked in! :smallbiggrin:
Well, not that that was the one being referenced in the quote's quote, but shhhhh, this is a great intro.
Anyway! So this half dragon walks into a Casino! She has short, black hair, half of her face is purple, and she's wearing a floor length trench coat with a large bulge in the back of it.
What? More is needed? Like why is half of her face purple? Well okaaaay. Just for you guys.
The left half of her face is actually covered in fairly iridescent purple dragon scales. Due to being on her face, they're all fairly small, and the match the contours of her face very nicely. At the point where the scales meet the skin, it's hard to tell exactly what happens. The scales seem to hide under the skin, and it looks like the skin has grown over them. Or did the scales grow in under the skin? Anyway!
Unless stopped by someone, she just saunters in, rubbernecking to see everything, and eventually ends at the poker tables, watching in rapt fascination.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Half-Dragons!
The young woman sees the other half-purple half-dragon. :smalltongue:
She raises her eyes for a second before nodding. Oh, there's your half-dragon! No, Mr. Ritz doesn't know her I don't think. The mins thing worked, by the way. The buff leather-clad man move to her. Dan boss don't like trench coats. Take it off... Please. Also, if you have any weapons, put em up, please.

The girl looks at him, somewhat incredulously.
"The sign says you're hiring strippers, but should I, like, get payed for this?" She asks, fairly pointedly not taking off her jacket yet, nor does she go for any sort of weapon. She just places her hands on her hips, and looks up at him, tapping her foot slightly.

The bouncers stare at each other for a second before the leader begins speaking. Uh, no? We don't allow coats like that, unless you allow us to search you. Understand? Company policy and such.

"Well, you did just tell me to take off my clothing." That probably means she's not wearing anything under it, if she's referring to the jacket as her clothing.
"And you're not going to pat me down. I think this is derogation against half-breeds. Did you tell anyone else to strip when they walked in? And threaten to pat them down if they don't? Is it because I'm not human?
HMMM?" The semi-crazy girl demands, eyes wide and demanding.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club

"Ah Dena, that's no fun. But I suppose if that's what you want, that's fair. Do you think so, Khyli?" Shame, it would have been hilarious to watch Dena be so uncomfortable. But that wouldn't exactly be a reward. As it is, Kirk rather wants to win this round. He's heard hints of what this blade dance is, but he'd rather like to experience first hand.

A black coated man walks in the casino. To describe him fully look at my avatar. He's the same just without the glowing white aura and ripped sleeves. He sees the mess but decides it would be better to ignore it as he wasn't looking for trouble, he was looking for a job. He goes ahead to look for someone who works there and asks,
"Excuse me, I heard that your establishment was offering a job as a barternder. Can you tell me where I can go to apply?"
He says in a casual manner.

"That works, I suppose. Or we could offer the winner more than one choice. For instance, if nobody wants to win kisses and hugs from me, he or she could win five minutes of servitude instead. I'm willing to do some hard labor, spellcasting, or fighting if summoned in case one of you two ever has a chore that you really don't want to do or something."
Khyli answers, finally dealing the first hand, which she'll probably lose. She attempts to identify some of Kirk's tells and Dena's tells and establish her own very visible fake tells, though she hasn't had much real practice at it. I don't think Khyli truly understands what tedious, toilsome labor Kirk and Dena might possibly subject her to under the almost totally unspecified terms of this contract.

Some of the scales appear also on his face, mainly on his cheek and where people normaly have eyebrows. His hair is cut short and grey. With the scales in his face he appears a bit angry all the time and makes it harder to get his current feeling.
The tall man looks around, taking note of the unnatural beauty who talks to the drow couple, he searches for the man in charge.

((Actually I'mmore confused why you are confused. I nearly mentioned the half dragon I mean in EVERY post, but either you ignored t or you didn't read them. I quoted my first post here so you remember. Mee's character isn't the half-dragon I meant))
The tall man just sights. seems like the people working here are a bit crazy or not really sane since they miss the half dragon woman who stood on his right side the whole time. At last the piano guy seems to get some income.
"Are you blind? I meant her!" He points at the black half dragon right behind him. The halfdragon even got the parers he gave her just a few moments ago.

Jim and Gordon will head to where ever they can get drinks and then start wandering around. They will gamble some, playing at tables and trying out slot machines. While they give very little reason for anyone to pay attention to them for long, if someone was watching them it might look like the two are casing the joint. They seem interested in figuring out the layout of the casino and are always looking around. It could just be that they are really impressed by the casino itself.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
"And I hope you spend the next thousand years being eaten alive by Stygian Weevils. It's so sad when we have to see our dreams unfulfilled." Says Kal, getting up just as smoothly. It's such a nice thing when two ninjas bond.

"Too easy to abuse." 5 minutes of servitude could be all sorts of things. Dena accepts the cards without as much as looking at them. Instead she's looking at the others, keeping her arms crossed over the table.
"So Kylie, do you even know what your pay is or what you're supposed to do? As far as I understand it, casinos exist so people can waste their money and everyone under their payroll are supposed to make sure the guests waste as much money as possible." The drow remarks. "Take Kirky here for example, how would you make him waste his money? He looks pretty rich judging by the suit."

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club

Kirk's tells are... subtle if they exist at all, and the drow is an excellent bluffer on top of that. He's going to be very hard to read. Right now he just smiles in amusement at Dena. Otherwise he just listens to Khyli's response.

Decker reluctantly pulls away from the kiss when she realizes she's left Kal at the mercy of two would-be bouncers.
"We came here for Butler. If you'd opened the door, we wouldn't have broken it!" 'Jane Smith' says. "Besides, I'm here from the Gaming Commission, and I need to inspect the facilities"
You do realize those are two completely different stories, right Decker? Right? :smallyuk: :smallsigh:
