[NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
THE GAMBLING LEAGUE OF GAMBLING!
Located in the scenic city of Inside, in the slightly-less-than-scenic Red Zone, Magtok's Gambling League of Gambling (or MaGLoG, as some are prone to calling it) is open for business! From our slot machines to our Shots-Machine (a robot bartender, in case you were wondering), we've got it all! Everything you could possibly want or need for blowing your children's inheritance, wasting away your wealth, and driving yourself right into the poorhouse in a dangerous game of chance is right here! A fully-stocked bar with a wide variety of beverages you probably shouldn't be drinking before fooling about with large sums of money, robot dog blackjack dealers trained to detect and pounce on cheaters, live entertainment every night, and more!
Da' Locations:

Available to the Public: Spoiler

Slot Machines - You know 'em, you love 'em, they're in every self-respecting casino: they're the slots. There's three different kinds of slot machines, all set aside in their own section of the gambling floor, with varying payouts. Get three M's in a row, and you win the jackpot! If the machine fails to turn up any matches, or you wind up with three Remnant flags in a row, you lose.
Blackjack Tables - Also known as Twenty-One, this here's a thinking man's game. Inasmuch as a possibly rigged game of chance can be, of course. Robot dogs run these tables, and gods help you if they catch someone cheating.
Other Games of Chance! - I honestly can't be bothered to write something up for every casino game available. So yes, there's roulette, baccarat, craps, poker and whatever else you might expect to find in a casino. If you absolutely must play something harder to follow and write for than Blackjack and the slots, then go ahead. I'll totally be passive-aggressively glaring at you from my OOC corner the whole time, though.
The Bar - It serves drinks. They have funny names, with maybe a luck and gambling sort of theme to them. Do you really need me to tell you any more than that? If I'm busy, just have an NPC hand you a drink and leave me alone.
The Stage Cabaret Lounge - Not far from the bar, here's where you can find tonight's entertainment. Patrons are discouraged from heckling performers or trying to join them onstage by a combination of our polite but firm security detail and the fact that most of our performers are pretty capable in a fight themselves. Please don't make a scene, and remember: The casino is not liable if you come back out substantially less intact than when you came in.
The Restaurant - Wait, are you serious? There are people in the Nexus who actually eat food? Weird. Let's include a restaurant for 'em, then. Toss in a buffet line and maybe dress up the bartenders like those card guys from Alice in Wonderland. Take some flowers and paint them red too, just to go with that general theme. Oh, and make everything really expensive for no good reason! High prices on everything, even the salads! Woo, that was easy!
Employees Only: Spoiler
Show
Backstage - Exactly what it sounds like. Dressing rooms, controls for the lighting equipment, etc. I don't think I really need to go into much more detail, honestly. There's enough privacy back here to do something rotten and immoral, so long as you're quiet about it.
Employee Lounge - A water cooler full of red wine sits here, as well as a number of couches, cushy chairs, and some silly motivational posters. I honestly don't really see this ever getting any use, but I'm including it anyway just in case.
Dead Elf Storage Room - This isn't where the Gambling League of Gambling keeps everyone's coats and weapons. No, that's the next room on this list. This is where unmentionables go, at least until they're needed elsewhere. Drugs, refugees, hostages, confiscated customer materials...basically anything and everything Magtok can get his villainous hands on.
Coat and Weapons Storage - If you've got a prominent sword on you when you come in, it gets taken here. If you'd like to drop off your coat while you stay, you let the staff put it here, too. Pretty self-explanatory. Attempts to rob the Coat and Weapons Storage room will be seen as an attack upon the casino itself, and such thieves will be executed on the spot by Magbot staff.
Access Restricted:Spoiler
Show
Maggy's Office - Y'know, I really don't see why Magtok insists on including a private office for himself in all of his businesses. It's not like he can't just telewarp into his home at any given time, after all. Anyway, there's some chairs for people to sit in, pretty purple carpeting, green $ sign wallpaper, a hidden shotgun strapped to the bottom of the mahogany desk, and a framed picture of the moon on the back wall. He's probably got more sneaky tricks and murder-weapons hidden in here, but I have no idea where they are, so you'll just have to figure it out on your own.
The Chamber of Honesty and Fair Play - There aren't many rules here in Club Magtok. All the more reason to emphasize them, of course. Anyone caught cheating or otherwise getting on Magtok's nerves is brought into this filthy, disgusting, soundproof concrete room. A number of hammers, nails, circular saws, and other toys stand on a shelf off to one side, just begging to be used on any unlucky sucker dragged in here.
The Big Important Money Vault Full of Money - This is the grand vault that both stores patron's money, and houses the machine regulating the flow of slot machine tokens. A series of tubes and pipes connects all the slot machines together, because apparently Maggy was just too lazy to include a token-storage unit in the slot machines, and couldn't be bothered to stuff an entire jackpot's worth of tokens in each one.
Da' Rules and OOC stuffs:
Spoiler
Show
Disclaimer stuff: The Gambling League of Gambling is meant, obviously, for more than just losing and winning currency in a setting where currency means absolutely nothing. Underneath the neon gleam and polish, there's a dark, seedy underbelly to this MagCasino, and folks are free to try to interact with it. Entertainers may have to throw away their dignity just to nail that big gig, security personnel may find themselves paid to keep quiet about all manner of dark secrets, and anyone trying to expose MaGLoG for what it is will almost certainly be dealt with in an exceedingly brutal manner. We'll work with just about anyone, so long as there's money to be made.
Anyways, rules!
1: I hate to steal from Vael's Mallside post, but please don't destroy the Gambling League without discussing it in OOC first. Chances are I'll say no, but it doesn't hurt to try, right? Who knows, maybe your idea is just cool enough to warrant the destruction.
2: Please don't have huge fights in the casino. Broken bottles are okay, radioactive homing magic bullets are not. Exercise some restraint, and if you have any doubts as to what will and won't be tolerated, please ask the management.
3: The casino is public, so please, no curtaining, or drug use beyond the expected alcohol/nicotine junk. Unless you're not a Remnant investigator, successfully pay off the right people, and get a private room for that sort of thing, of course. Even then, try to keep it short and most of it to the imagination. There's other people doing stuff here too, y'know!
4: I am not always going to be online, unfortunately. I know, it's a huge shock to me too, but apparently there's this "Real Life" thing that insists on getting in my way! It teams up with this big tough guy called "Sleep" to drag me off every now and then, too. Feel free to NPC-ify the casino staff a little. It has to be within reason, though. The bartender will serve whatever you want, but you're not going to seduce that dealer into giving away all his MagTokens without at least a little Mag-involvement.
5: Don't think about the layout much. Like Inside and Mallside, it'll change when it damn well feels like changing. Maggy's office might be upstairs today and smell of cheap Coffin Nail cigarettes, but wind up on the ground floor tomorrow, with a faint odor of coconut oil and human remains. The slot machines might be in a completely different room, or within shouting distance of those slovenly drunks at bar.
Final Note: The Gambling League of Gambling OP is presently (and always will be) a work in progress, I'm afraid. Feel free to enter, as most of it will stay fairly consistent, and we'll do our best to notify the public of any major changes, but anything and everything could change at a moment's notice, so please, watch your step.
Oh, and any similarity in name to charity organizations focused on redemption are entirely coincidental. Totally, completely, and absolutely a coincidence. So don't bother suing. :smalltongue:
News Update: The Masks are currently on the premises, holding a 'slave' auction party thingy, and everybody who's anybody is going to be there! For more information, go look at the OOC thread!

She hands over her invitation and saunters into the area where everyone's gathered and takes a look around.
There were just so many +1s she could have brought that bringing any of them would severely disappoint the rest! So none got the lucky choice. Besides. Having a +1 when you enter makes it that much harder to leave with a new +1.

Not his best exit, and he didn't quite befuddle and perturb her as much as he'd hoped, but by and large, I think we can call this a success. When it comes to auctioning Magtok off, there'll probably be one more wallet on the line, furiously out for revenge, hoping to get the winning bid and make that cyborg pay by washing windows, dusting floors, painting walls, or whatever else it is that she'd be able to come up with.
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"Pffh, I'm not planning to drink all of this tonight but this way I don't need to go back to the bar all the time. Want some?" She opens the bottle and offers her a sip.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
That certainly causes her to raise an eyebrow. "Whoa, I didn't know you were a druid. You really didn't seem the type." She observes as she watches Reinholdt's catform. "Are you protecting nature from here?" She then asks with a slight smile.
[Cessie and Magtok]
The mage sigh and shakes her head, she hadn't been finished with the cyborg but it didn't matter now, she did disagree with him though. "Have a good evening yourself Magtok."
Now she turns to the rest of the party and notices an familiar figure. Was that... Ilpholin? She looked a bit different but it was possible she was wearing some sort of costume. The clothes were revealing as always but she had tried to accept them by now, just as she tried to accept the clothes of everyone around here.
Slowly she approaches the drow/demon and attempts to catch her attention by waving a bit, "Ilpholin, that was quite a while ago. How are you?" Cessie asks in a gentle voice.

"Alright alright." Nadia relents. "But let's use glasses. And no way am I drinking straight vodka." She hails the barkeeper down again.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Pfft. Druids. They envy me and want to get in my pants." Reinholdt says, licking a paw and rubbing his ear.
"I'm actually a full on cat, with the ability to turn into a human."
[Cessie and Magtok]
"I'm doing good Cessie! Really good!" :smallbiggrin:
"Hope you are as well." Ilpholin adds.
To her credit, Ilpholin is probably wearing one of her least revealing outfits of all time! Except when she wears the big fluffy dresses that she likes. Which is rare.
"Lolth came to me in my dreams and blessed me with a newer, better form! I'm so lucky. What do you think?" Ilpholin turns to let Cessie see all of her.

Reelshka and Pathfinder
Depending on how good she is at reading his body language, she'll notice his ears falling back a bit, uneasy. "I'll stay to watch you." He agrees to after a minute. "Maybe I'll even bid." He adds with a nervous chuckle.
Javert and Missy
Javert takes a step back from Missy and gives a bow as he gestures her towards their seats. "After you, my lady." He says, sounding completely sincere.
Dressing Room
"That night had been a show, Kirk. Nothing more." The Lady says as she steps behind a screen to dress. Of course, the light behind it provides a lovely silhouette on the paper of the screen. "Saw Feia and wanted to meet her at her own game. I don't own anyone, and I never will." She explains before giving a peek from behind the screen, smirking at Kirk. "I just wanted to piss her off. I still have that hat if you want it." She adds before going back to dressing. "I think it'd look dashing on you."

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Reelshka and Pathfinder]
Reelshka isn't very good at judging non-goblin body language, but she can tell Pathfinder is uneasy. Her ears perk up and her eyebrows rise when Pathfinder mentions bidding. Oh? Well, it'll be interesting, then. Who knows, maybe you'll win, she adds. Either way, it's a way to help those poor people in the Red Zone.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Cessie just briefly glances at the drow/demon, not really wanting to look too closely. "It's certainly an interesting change." She replies, not really sure what to say. "You do seem a lot happier so it must be helping you... who's Loth if you don't mind me asking?"
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"Fine, doesn't really matter anyway. When do that thing start anyway? I hate waiting." Irena comments as she pours up two glass given to them by the barkeeper.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
The drow blinks, "A cat? Okay, that I did not expect..." She looks slightly awkward. "Uh... so what does that mean exactly? Being a cat I mean."

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Cabaret
Defelent's eyes certainly linger on Dani, but they also linger on several other people around at the moment. I've got a predetermined maximum for Defelent, because I thought it would be a good idea. It might be a bit high, but until the bidding starts I don't know. It could be too low, especially given the people here.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Dani
Spotting Cessie and Ilpholin, Dani starts drifting in their direction.
Blatantly eavesdropping, of course.

Naethalee
The half-drowess is content to people-watch for the moment, but seems to be almost analysing everybody by threat level.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Dressing Room]
Kirk chuckles. Pissing Feia off is something he can get behind. "Keep it. I don't need another hat all that badly anyway." The trouble with any other hat is that it isn't his hat. He's rather fond of his hat.
To the very most observant, the smallest amount of tension that was barely perceivable to begin with has left him. "So I take it that you'll be running the auction tonight." He can tell Jezebel isn't the type to play second fiddle. Her title gave it away in any case.
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"I don't think it'll be all that long, but I have no idea." Nadia shrugs and sips at her drink. "Try to be a little bit patient, for me." Nadia bumps her shoulders into Irena, smiling sweetly.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Dressing Room
"I am. Going to be the first auctioned off as well." Jezebel says before stepping out. A black dress hugs her tall and curvy frame. "And I do hope you'll bid on me. If you excuse me though, I need to prepare an announcement and have the show start. I'm sure these ladies would appreciate your help." She says before trying to "squeeze" past Kirk, making sure to be more than a little too close before going past.
Pathfinder and Reelshka
"I admit I don't have much." He mentions, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he pats the rather small looking pouch of coins at his side. Looking back to her, he gives a small smile. "But I'd be honoured if I won."

"You've never heard of Lolth?" :smalleek:
Ilpholin is surprised!
"Lolth is the Spider Queen. She's the goddess that the drow worship."
She probably notes Dani, but at this point in time, does not leap on Dani's head, rip her eyes out through her ears and tell her to stop eavesdropping on people.
That'd just be rude.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Dressing Room]
Kirk gives Jezebel a quick elevator look, and he likes what he sees. "I do look forward to seeing you on stage." He says, leaving his bidding plans a secret for now.
Once she's gone, he turns his attention back to the women that needed assistance. "I'd love to help you ladies out." He says with a charming smile. He just has to be sure to get back out there by the time the auction starts.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"I see. Well, I'm glad for you then Ilpholin." She tells her with a faint smile. She did have few questions but you had to take it gently with Ilpholin. In a way she was rather sensitive.
"We don't have drow or Lolth in my world but if sure she blessed you for a reason." Cessie doesn't seem to have noticed Dani just yet though. "So what have you been doing otherwise? It was such a long time since we saw each other."
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Oh... so how do you feel about non-cats then?" Dena wonders, not really sure what to think of this situation.
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
Irena is bumped and smiles back a bit, "Don't worry, I will be patient, it's all just so new to me. That's all. All these rich people make me uncomfortable." Don't you forget something here Irena? The fact you're very rich as well now?

Dionysius reaches out across the table to attempt to grasp Grace's hand between his.
"And, at least in my case, worship is sustaining to a god in ways nothing else can be. Without people to acknowledge our existence, we simply fade, shrivel, and become naught but a myth in the annals of history. Some gods think of their worshipers as nothing more than cattle, but for me, they are my caretakers, keeping a tired old memory alive for another day."
[Cabaret]
"It isn't just scale, and most men do not gain what I would qualify as worship." Grace says, frowning as she withdraws her hand and place it in her lap. "Those that do have largely set themselves up as divine figures, I would not approve of them either. Worship asks for a level of subservience, a certain amount of degradation, even, promoting the myth that the being in question is somehow superior, something that must be lauded and honored and appeased. It may even go so far as to imply that this being must be appealed to have success, that otherwise in a given endeavor, you are helpless."

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Cabaret
"Ah yes, 'As dogs are to men, so too are men to Gods.' An outdated, overused concept that sadly grows more popular the more a god distances themself from their people. Let me ask you then, how you would solve this situation were you in my position? I walk among men, no more elevated than they, and exchange good fortune for the chance to remain living. Should I simply end? What more can I give those that would follow me, or should I simply convince them all to let me die?" That is why he claims to have come here after all, to gain a better understanding of how to please his followers.

Reinholdt hops back into his seat and turns back into his human form. That clearly went very poorly. She was supposed to snatch him up and cuddle him cause of adorable. :smallfrown:

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret]
"Much of what I object to is inherent to worship, no matter how much you try to ground yourself." Grace says with a sigh. "Being more grounded will reduce some of those effects, but it won't do away with them. As for what I would do, if I found myself in your situation... I'd look for alternatives. The universe is vast, and worship seems like a peculiar thing as a requirement for life. Do you really need worship? Or is it a less complicated need, that could be fulfilled in another way? Can you find a way to change that aspect of your nature, or generate 'worship' from something non-sentient?"
Grace shakes her head. "There are so many powers and things out there, or even just in Nexus, that I cannot truly believe that you must, inevitably, subsist on worship. I can believe that there is a possibility that such a thing might be complicated, or rare- but I would try. If only from a selfish perspective, ridding yourself of such a limitation would be a good thing, as it would eliminate a way you might perish."

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Cabaret
Dionysius sighs, slumped slightly in his seat. With a lightning fast gesture he tilts back his head and pours the rest of the nearly full champagne glass down his throat.
"We all have a brash youth, even and especially gods. In our infancy, we needed naught but acknowledgement, the same as any other sentient creature. After we learned to claim lands and peoples under our power, that power swelled and sustained us, and we became more concepts than phyical beings. With so much power flooding our veins, living without becomes nearly impossible, and those few that are forced to try descend into a state of a disproven ideal, scorned as falsehood and proof of the idiocy of past generations."
The god shrugs, and relaxes back into his chair, "Perhaps, with your upcoming study of magic, you could reveal a supplement of some sort that has not been found by my lazy brethren. Somehow, I doubt that most would take such a substance, even if it was offered." The sad truth, he's afraid. The gods he knew were far too content with the status quo.

"Not yet." Cessie admits. "It's just an illusion, there are still a few months left before I'm supposed to have the children. I myself am working on a few projects actually. Trying to create a golem for example, had some help from your brother, he's have been a great help actually. Very insightful." She nods.
And how did your secret mission go exactly? I'm not ruining anything here am I?

"Ah, that's a shame... I used to have a cheetah you know? Technically it wasn't mine but I petted it every day and took care of it. It was called Mirrian. Were there any talking cheetah's where you're from?" Dena asks, obviously remembering things here.
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"You can take a person off the streets but you can never take the streets out of a person." Irena quotes(?) "I don't think I will ever get used to that much money. Should buy a yatch so we can go on high sea adventurers." She says with a smirk.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
It's a long-term thing. You're fine.
Ilpholin's face screws up a bit though. "You've talked to..." Ilpholin trails and bites back whatever she was going to say.
"Hmmm. Afraid I don't know much about creating servants like that. Hope it goes well."
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Huh. Yeah. Back on my world, every cat what you people call house cats. Only each one had the ability to shift forms into a larger cat. For war or work usually. But we had cheetahs among them, yes." Reinholdt explains.

Nadia laughs a little. "Now that sounds like fun. You know, I've lived pretty close tot he ocean all my life, but I've never been on a boat." It seems a little odd now that she thinks about it. Funny that it never really occurred to her before.

And now you're erecting a large mimed sign pointing to it. See, this is just going to make him think that Magtok set up a sign pointing at a unicorn you gave him. It's not going to - no, don't set up another one, that won't help either. Look just change the subject. Look! He's got cat ears! That's worthy of some of your nonsense diverted from this subject right?
Yeah, there we go. Mime some cat ears and hope he understands.

He looked at Kal.
"It really is true." he said as his hair turned into tentacles and brought a shot of whiskey up to his mouth, which he drank in a single gulp.

And now you're erecting a large mimed sign pointing to it. See, this is just going to make him think that Magtok set up a sign pointing at a unicorn you gave him. It's not going to - no, don't set up another one, that won't help either. Look just change the subject. Look! He's got cat ears! That's worthy of some of your nonsense diverted from this subject right?
Yeah, there we go. Mime some cat ears and hope he understands.
"You got an invincible unicorn and you want to turn it into a catperson sir? Are you sure sir? Unicorns are pretty rare sir."
Butler does mean invisible.
Or does he?
"Or do you want to get an invincible cat to keep it company sir?"

[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"I'm confident it will." Cessie replies, avoiding mentioning Nada's again for now. "So you aren't here with anyone?" She casks while looking for any potential partners the drow/demon could have had with her.
Okay, good luck then. If you need help with anything just ask okay? I haven't done anything for watch in ages.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Cool, sounds like a world I would like to live in. Of course, nearly everything is better then Athas." She laughs softly. "So I'm guessing you're having a good time in this world then? I know I am."
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
Irena shrugs once she taken a sip from her own glass. "Neither have I. 'just heard that's what 'rich people' are doing once they get too much money. Of course I have been in riverside lake a couple of times... hey, we should totally spend a day there now that you can get out in the sun!"

[Wenomir and KR]
Does she know what he means?
Well, she thinks. And thinks. And thinks hard.
"I'm trying to find any sort of alternate meaning to that sentence, other than the fact that it may involve half-naked people prancing about on stage. Trying and failing."
...
"So no, I probably don't know what you mean." :smalltongue:

Then Kal comes.
"You see Dave this person here also don't belives it. May I ask who you are?"
The last one is directed at Kal.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Of course.
"No. I'm not. Kind of makes it hard to pick people up when you already have one hanging on your shoulder. Well... most of the time."
There are exceptions!
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
Reinholdt frowns a bit.
"You'll have to visit sometime..."
There's a brief pause.
"Well. I certainly find this place more acceptable than others I've been to, yes."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Wenomir and KR]
Wenomir chuckles. This is what I mean, actually. It's just the vibe I've been getting. Salome and Xifra making out in the middle of the crowd contributed to it.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
Nadia grins. "Yeah, definitely. It'll be fun." Most likely more fun than this party. Irena would be in a much better mood for one thing.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"Hanging on your shoulder? Who are you referring to?" Cessie asks curiously.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"It's nice, especially if you have some money." She pauses a moment as she seem to get an idea. "So can you shapeshift into other things? Like say, a cheetah?"
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Ilpholin raises an eyebrow.
"It's just an expression Cessie. It means the person who is your date. Speaking of which, where's Harnel?"
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Alas no. Not without some special help. Which I do have access to, but it takes a night's sleep at least. I do have a magic item that lets me turn into a sabretooth tiger though."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"He was talking to Magtok's employee last time I saw him, we were supposed to meet up at the stage once the auction started. Are you going to partake in it?" This seemed like Ilpholin's thing after all. Thankfully she had prepared a spell which would spare her from most of the indecency which surely would be shown on that stage.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Oh? I'm guessing you don't got it with you though? I'd love to see it." Dena replies.
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"Mm, I wonder what that darn nymph is doing right now though. I bet if we brought her along she would scare away everyone else." Irena replies as her gaze slowly sweeps across the floor for anything interesting.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
She has a censor spell?! The evil fiend! :smalleek:
"Oh? You'll be going on stage then? Maybe I should bid for you two." :smalltongue:
"I'll be bidding on one or two people I imagine, but I'm not going up if that's what you mean."
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"My dear, it's one thing to turn into a housecat in a crowded room. Somehow I don't think turning into a sabretooth tiger will be as appreciated." :smalltongue:
Might cause a panic.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"I guess we should be glad she isn't in our hair all the time." Nadia frowns a little. Irena's getting into a downward spiral of negativity. It's all because of this party too. It's just not something Irena is going to enjoy.
"Do you want to get out of here?" She suggests. Sure, Dionysius won't be happy, but Nadia is having a hard time caring.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
The sorceress laughs at that suggestion, "No, Harnel originally wanted to be bid on actually but I put the foot down obviously. It would take a miracle for me to even consider getting up on that scene. I'm not even going to bid on anyone, this whole slave theme gives me the creeps." She admits.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"I know, I know, if knives weren't allowed I doubt magical artifacts that can turn you into killing machines are allowed either. Would have been quite an sight though." She replies with a grin.
"Imagine the look on their faces huh?"
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
"Hmm..." Irena give Nadia a curious look. "I got another idea." She finishes her glass and grabs the bottle as she get's up from her seat. "Follow me." And unless Nadia protests Irena will grab her arm and quickly lead her out of the building. "Alright, I saw a hotel on the way here and we got an hour to the auction, want to use that time the best way possible?" She asks with a smile.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
Or they could go to the attached hotel mentioned in OoC when the event started. Let's just assume Irena knew about that and say they're heading that way instead.
Nadia finishes off the contents of her glass too, just before she's being lead off. What could Irena have planned? Of course, she isn't left wondering for long. Her face flushes red when she realized her intentions. "Yeah, sure." She says with a returning smile.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"I admit to being surprised to see you here at all. What possessed you to come?"
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
Reinholdt's grin returns a little.
"Heh. Yeah..."
He stands and stretches.
"Well, I'd better look around some more before this thing gets started."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"Harnel convinced me, told me to trust him. Apparently there is some sort of surprise here he refuses to tell me about. It's rather frustrating but you know how it is, relationships are built upon trust." Cessie replies.
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Sure, I better look around as well... but I'm staying at NO if we don't meet again tonight, okay?" Dena says with a meaningful look at Rein(y).
[Cabaret - Nadia and Irena]
As they are walking up the stairs Irena suddenly asks, "So is it different now? The sex I mean. I was honestly surprised vampires like that sort of things since you don't feel cold or whatever."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"Ah... yes." Ilpholin says, somewhat uncertainly.
Relationships built on trust? What sort of tipsy-turvy world is she from?
"Well I hope the surprise is enjoyable. Or if it's not, I hope it's Harnel in a mankini so it can be enjoyable for the rest of us." :smallamused: :smalltongue:
Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt
"Oh? Well I'm at GLoG. I might have to swing by NO and hire them a very... special job." :smallwink:
With that meaningful little wink and double entendre, Reinholdt heads off into the crowd. No doubt to get into mischief.

Internal Facepalm. Oh my god not another of this I come from Hell guys.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Cabaret
Dave shrugged.
"Hey, there's more than one Hell. Budepedians certainly don't meet up with Zweingists in Hell, after all."
He took another sip of his whiskey.
"But man, in Hell I look so badass. That's like, the best perk about it. I get this tail and these horns plus these fangs...it's just amazingly cool." he said, revealing in the memories of his awesomeness.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Hotel - Nadia and Irena]
"Oh, well, it's better now. I mean, it was never bad, but it definitely changed." Nadia sounds just a bit awkward, like she's trying hard not to say the wrong thing and isn't sure that she's succeeding.
[Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt Kirk]
A while after Rein has left Dena, Kirk returns and seats himself next to her. He looks to be in a good mood and he's forgotten to tuck in his shirt. "You win."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret]
Kal stares at Dave with a look somewhat approaching that of abject horror. This guy is the King of Hell somewhere, and all that means to him is that he looks 'badass'? Admittedly, horns and a tail are pretty awesome (though Kal had seen some devils with fangs, and honestly, they only looked like they'd get in the way of things), but still. This fellow is the King of Hell and all he can think about is how awesome it make him look. Kal suddenly feels immensely sorry for all the devils who suddenly have to put up with serving under this lunatic.
He edges nervously away from him.
"Uh... well, if you want, I could show it to you sometime." Says Kal to Andy, occasionally glancing at Dave with increasing fear and bewilderment.
[Wenomir and KR]
Well yes. That was certainly a gratuitous display if KR ever saw one.
"Yes, well, hopefully Magtok's guest appearance won't take on that context. I'm pretty sure that's far beyond what anybody's willing to tolerate."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Cessie sigh, "Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if it was at this point. Harnel is a good man but sometimes I wonder what's going on in his head. I have my doubts about this especially considering the nature of this event." She glances at the drow/demon. "But enough about me, you changed? Can I ask, do I want to know how much?" She smiles slightly.
[Hotel - Nadia and Irena]
Thankfully it would be very hard for her to offend Irena. :smalltongue:
She just laughs and gently starts to fondle Nadia even before they get inside the room. Sure hope no one is watching. "So how does this feel?" She asks teasingly.
[Cabaret - Dena and Reinholdt Kirk]
Having said farewell to rein, there is a half-full (or half-empty) glass of wine standing next to the drow. She stares at Kirk though, not showing a hint of surprise. "I know, why don't you have a seat Kirky-boy?" She replies, gesturing towards the empty seat Reinholdt left behind. "I was actually already planning what I was going to do to you."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Ilpholin smirks a little.
"Oh Cessie. I think if you ever gave yourself a chance, you'd really get to enjoy things." Ilpholin says, twitching her rather flexible tail in view on purpose.
"But otherwise I think the answer to the question is no, I don't think you'd want to know."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Cessie chuckles softly, "Good to know, but I'll be fine, thanks. Harnel is all I need. I'm not really sure I will be staying long anyway, not really my thing as you said yourself. Maybe you should talk to one of my sisters, they are more into that."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
Huh. Cessie found it amusing. How odd.
"Ah well... last I recalled, me and your sisters didn't exactly part on the best terms."
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Hotel - Nadia and Irena]
Nadia hastily puts her hand over Irena's to still it. She looks around nervously. "Let's wait until we're in the room." She can't deny enjoying it when Irena touches her, but in private preferably. She hasn't drank that much yet. <.<
[Cabaret - Dena and Kirk]
"Were you now?" Kirk asks, sounding amused. "I think I might be able to guess. You and I both know what you want from me." The drow waggles his eyebrow suggestively.

See, you've just confused him now. Just... yeah, just nod. Sure. You want an invincible cat to keep it company.
Now point at his ears. Alright, shrug too I guess, he might get what you're asking about now.

Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cabaret]
Their conversation sort of over, Harnel will leave Michalson directions to Mithar Keep if they want to talk again sometime.
Harnel actually will notice Ilpholin talking to Cessie over there. that's bad isn't it? they're extremely different, so Harnel wouldn't be surprised if they still at least sort of despise each other... though, they seem happy.
This bears investigation.
Harnel will come over to the pair of women, still holding a champagne glass from earlier, "Hello Ilpholin. You look good."

After we learned to claim lands and peoples under our power, that power swelled and sustained us, and we became more concepts than phyical beings. With so much power flooding our veins, living without becomes nearly impossible, and those few that are forced to try descend into a state of a disproven ideal, scorned as falsehood and proof of the idiocy of past generations."
The god shrugs, and relaxes back into his chair, "Perhaps, with your upcoming study of magic, you could reveal a supplement of some sort that has not been found by my lazy brethren. Somehow, I doubt that most would take such a substance, even if it was offered." The sad truth, he's afraid. The gods he knew were far too content with the status quo.
[Cabaret]
"And therefore, I wouldn't be nearly so civil with most deities." Grace replies with a frown. "You say you try and treat people fairly, gain perspective, and do it out of necessity. I can respect that. I still have problems with it, but that would be no reason for hostility."
Despite her saying that, she still doesn't look very happy, and it almost sounds more rote than felt. It's pretty clear that this is a big deal for her.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Cessie and Ilpholin]
"I doubt my sisters even remember your name honestly." Cessie replies before Harnel approaches them. She smiles at him, seemingly more relaxed then before. "Hello dear, I see you got yourself something to drink." The sorceress observes.
[Cabaret - Dena and Kirk]
"Hold up now, we said this evening and you went and had sex with the first lady who called you out. The slave thing don't start until I start giving you orders tomorrow. Of course, I don't think I need to give you any orders for 'what we both know I want' as you call it." Dena replies with a smile. "Of course we might have to adjust that since people are going to bid at you. Any suggestions... slave?" She raises an eyebrow suggestively.
[Hotel - Nadia and Irena]
Irena grins, "What? You saw those girl's kissing out there right? That's pretty much what we are expected to do isn't it? Of course, we're so much hotter..." She says suggestively as she leans in for a quick kiss while attempting to pull Nadia inside the room.
She's joking of course. Right?
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Butler-Mime]
"I can be seen just fine sir. I probably wouldn't be able to help your unicorn sir. Though you can pet them if you'd like sir." Butler tilts his head down to provide potential ear pets.
His player doesn't even know what Mime's asking this time.
[Reinholdt-Aubrey]
Reinholdt approaches Aubrey.
"My dear, you look nervous. What does someone as ravishing looking as you have to be nervous about?" Reinholdt inquires, sweeping into a slight bow as he approaches.
[Cess-Harn-Ilph]
Ilpholin frowns. That's... really quite disappointing and infuriating actually. You'd think you'd remember the name of someone who brutally beat your sister into submission. She'd rather be hated and feared than ignored.
But change of subject arises. "Of course. I always look good. You'd have been better off in saying I look very different." :smalltongue:
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
[Rein - Aubrey]
Aubrey jumps when approached by Rein, "Ah, yeah, I'm sorta nervous." Rein will be able to see Aubrey covering up her midsection with her arms, "I've never been on stage before. Especially in something this... revealing."
[Cessie - Harnel - Ilpholin]
"Humble, too," Harnel says with a chuckle, "I hadn't realized you were going to be here, Ilpholin, though it does seem like your sort of event. Are you going to let yourself be bid on, or are you just bidding on someone else?"
Harnel moves close to Cessie, of course, having been talked out of going up and being bid on, he'll just drive prices up. He honestly thinks it would have been fun to go up on stage and get bid on, see what happened. Besides, it was only going to be for two days, maximum. Still though, Cessie took precedence and she'd said she didn't want him up there. Oh well.
-
Re: [NEXUS] MaGLoG II: Alcoholic Boogaloo
Butler - Mime
Mime will accept, of course - they look so fluffy!
Still, he would like to know why he has them. Mime only gets person ears!
But! He's not going to bother trying to communicate that when there are ears to pet.
