Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Mr. Ritz has been moving around a bit. He moves from Butler and Felandria, not even listening to any kind of argument Butler had to make. Marciano is done with being insulted all the time. Anyway, Felandria should put an attempt there. (OOC: Felandria, say attempt. She might not automatically succeed. He might explode or something. Or melt. )
He glares at the old man. What's he doing in a place like this? Yes? My name is Mr. Ritz. Welcome to the Ritzzz Casino & Club.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Entrance]
"It could have been worse, we could have been greeted by Magtok." Dena suggests with an amused look at the other drow.
And then a woman approaches them that Dena would start to call a maiden as soon as she started to call Kirk a virgin.
She regards Khyli in the same manner as she regards her, mentally filling her into the lesbian/bisexual category. This could be amusing. "Hi there Khyli." She greets with a wave. "So what exactly are you hired as? Just general entertainment? Or something more specific? I'm afraid Kirky here is only familiar with a very specific kind of entertainment."

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
[Entrance 2]
A tall men, followed by a female black halfdragon and a man with a long coat, enters the establishment. The tall man wears an armless grey robe, covering his torso and feet. His shoulder seem to grow something like scales, which appear very sharp and head down half his arms. Tatoos , showing off arcane symbols cover his lower arms but his hands appear normal. 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.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
What's that sound?
There seems to be a blue police box materializing in the office of the Ritz.
Of course it might bounce off a dimension lock and end up materializing just outside the building instead. Depending on whether there's a dimension lock or not. On the one hand, dimension locking your building is just good sense. On the other hand, it does keep Marciano from being able to teleport away from danger. Hatter?My avatar!

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Well, his office is dimension locked. It's his private place, and he doesn't want any teleporting madmen to kill him in his sleep. He makes powerful enemies pretty quick. However the theatre, casino, and lobby are not dimension locked, so that blue thing will probably appear in the lobby. Which ought to confuse the hell out of everybody.
Anyway, old man. No offense, sir. But you look a little old to do this sort of thing. I hope you aren't offended.
Then a robed man and his half-dragon. Mr. Ritz moves over and does his best showy smile. Well hello, and welcome to the Ritzzz Casino & Club! I'm the owner, Ritz Mckane.
He also sends a text slowly on his cell phone. One hand and all. Sorry, business. Okay, what's your name's?
The text is to the biggest gangster hiding out in the room outside of the office. He's wearing a large 1920's suit and hat, and has one of those special to,my guns at his side. He's allowed to walk into Mr. Ritz's Office. This man is called Knuckles. He walks in and moves to where Butler might be. Sho, what's ya real name, kiddo?

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
It's probably more confusing when a red-headed tiefling in a skimpy black policewoman outfit tumbles out of the door of the police box. It's Male Kal too, because of shenanigans. It's all timey wimey, wibbley wobbley. I wouldn't think too hard on it. He takes a while to gain his balance. Getting bounced off of anti-teleport fields does murder on the inner ear, and it's been a while since he rocked heels.
"So... er... what are we doing again?" Says Kal, in a Scottish accent. Which, little known fact, is actually his natural accent! He just hides it because it's not very diabolical. Because everyone knows Devils all sound like they're part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. True fact.Last edited by Ashen Lilies; 2013-06-09 at 09:46 AM.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Lobby -> Office
I wouldn't so much say zealous as much as an incredibly decent example I hope I can live up to one day.
Admittedly if someone told me that was their name, I'd be incredulous too.
Butler is confused. What buttons? Where's the bird? Why does he need a bath again already? If Butler is as kind as Butler is, then wouldn't that mean someone is exactly that kind no matter how kind that kind is? These feelings are mixed with a bit of shock. He even starts to protest that he'd never insult Marciano, but that's interrupted by being grabbed and lifted.
But the number one expression on his face?
That of being crushed. Utterly crushed. Yeah, he knows he's pretty dull at times. But... his name. He is oh so very proud of the name he picked out for himself. To have someone say it's bad is just... well it's crushing.
Anyways, he gets dragged into the office and told not to move. Which he does. Then someone asks him a question. On one hand, he shouldn't move. On the other hand, it'd be rude not to answer. But which is more rude?
In the end, his conditioning wins out. He was given an order and he'll stand by that order. It's hard to even see him breathe he's being that still.

The tall man looks down at Mr. Ritz.
"My name is out of business. I'm from the wall and these two are the people who seek for a job. The woman is called Vutha Isk and you can call the man piano guy."
The half-dragon woman bows gently as she is mentioned. The piano guy just nods.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Lobby
From behind Kal, a devil in a red coat roller skates out of the police box, sonic allen wrench in hand. "That way!" she dramatically points. "They've got Rory, er, I mean Butler, in there!"
She skates through the npcs who are trying to gamble, pushing them aside while flashing Psychic Paper around to show off her credentials. Apparently, she's Jane Smith, Chairman of the Gaming Commission.Last edited by happyturtle; 2013-06-09 at 09:54 AM.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Knuckles moves closer to Butler, before closing the door behind him. You insulted da boss pretty badly. He don't like being made fun of. He really don't. Why did ya do so? Now, Ritz gave me an ordah... You either prove your usefulness, or I break your legs. Got that? You can talk now, too.
His... His name is piano guy?! That's it?! He has no ACTUAL name? I... That... Maybe you're all just insane. I have to go for a second. Here, piano guy... Go to the piano in the Casino, play a little something, the speakers will project it all over. Gimme something jazzy.
He ignores the weird people in the worng side of the casino and walks to the theatre, before walking backstage and finally entering the office.Got my temper back in check. Knuckles, you can go now. Okay, Butler... Let me get this straight, now please make sense. Your name is Butler Butler Butler? Really? Now, if you're pulling my leg, I'll break yers. Just a warning.

"Jane Smith" (aka Decker aka Lady Dekaros of the Sixth Circle, Marchesa of War aka "The Docent") roller skates through the casino until she's either stopped or she reaches the office.
If the latter, she'll take out her sonic allen wrench and...

"No, his name isn't piano guy. He just got to mayn names to give him one other than what his prupose is."
The tall man points at the piano and piano guy heads for it. As he reveal his coat, people may see his four arms, each lloking like it's not his own. As he starts playing some Jazz. It really sounds good, even a bit better then a normal piano guy.Grammer is my declared deadly enemy!

The most heinous of crimes.
"If it's all the same to you sir, I'd much rather just leave sir." Butler may be dense, but he's not so stupid that he wants to work for someone who threatened to break his legs twice! Both of them even. That's four legs Butler doesn't want broken.
His fur does get a little less poofy as he turns his head to look at the door that Decker's voice is coming through. It's a very calming voice, that.

Re: {Nexus}: The Ritzzz Casino & Club
Mr. Ritz wrings his hands slowly, before settling down in his chair. The door to get in is well locked, so Marcy can have a moment here. Butler, I... Am very sorry for my behavior. Marciano saying sorry? See, I have severe anger management issues, and sometimes I get a little carried away with my work. I don't have any friends, so it's awfully difficult for me to ever feel content... People son't like me due to my psychological issue. I can't control it... But, but, you... You seem very kind, very caring... I need someone like you around me. To keep me feeling happy, and to keep my stress levels down. Mr. Butler, I'm so sorry... Please forgive me? And give me a second chance? Marciano is completely degrading himself. Huh. Well, his words are VERY believable, and due to the suggestion spell subtly interlaced in his words, even Butler might feel very sorry for the guy.
Mr. Ritz goes even farther and bursts into tears. Before reaching across the table to hold Butler's hands. Oh please, please, please reconsider... I need you.

Kirk gives the newcomer an appreciative look as she approaches them. Why, isn't she nice to look at. He's not going to object to her being their entertainment for the evening, though he half expected that Dena wouldn't appreciate it. Then again, it is Dena.
The drow chuckles at Dena's statement. Always the joker she is. "I don't think I've had personal entertainment before." Aside from personal entertainment. "But I imagine I can keep you busy for your first night on the job. Do you have any particular talents maybe?"

"You dragged me out of the workshop for this?"
Arthur is not in Happy Mode as he heads into the casino.
There he was, just working calmly on something (he'd figure out precisely what later) when his dear and beloved girlfriend and fellow scientist, Willow Warwick, decided to try and convince him to come to this place. Arthur's never been a gambling man. Granted, he did a fairly-long stint as a gun dealer, but never a gambler.
With a decidedly-grumpy expression and a small armory's worth of concealed weapons on hand in the pockets and cuffs (and other parts) of his usual attire (considering he rarely wears anything but suits these days, making his every-day wear perfect for this environment) just in case, he leads the way in, Willow most likely only a short distance behind him.
One look at the lobby, and Arthur's expression turns from 'grumpy' to one that's more like 'I don't want to live on this plane of existence anymore', without so much as another word.Last edited by blackouttwo; 2013-06-09 at 03:45 PM.

Willow is indeed alongside Arthur. She's a nineteen year old who is very pretty, with blue eyes and chestnut brown hair and wearing a designer label cocktail dress. Of course, she's only humanly pretty. In the company of a daughter of Zeus and Mysterious Wall Woman, she probably barely outshines a meth addict.

OK, so she had a point there. The only reason he was spending so much time in the workshop lately was because he'd sworn off weapon design and was trying to expand his horizons. And ever since his application to join the Skyside Partnership was rejected, he'd been diving headlong into trying and failing to make stuff that wasn't weaponized. If nothing else, it occupied his time. Unfortunately, it was highly unproductive since it never amounted to anything.
Needless to say, he was having a hard time. Huge mental blocks are difficult to overcome, and his was more...hardwired into him than most cases.
Who knows? Maybe a night of something different is exactly what I need. He forces a smile. "Alright. Sure, let's play craps."Last edited by blackouttwo; 2013-06-09 at 04:03 PM.

No, I'm not ignoring you Zefir, Marciano was called away on slightly more important business. What with Time Lords and such. So, the poor piano man is left hanging! Well, until that nice lady on the desk moves over to speak with him. Erm, Mr. Ritz is busy at the moment, there seems to be some kind of problem here... Anyway, sir... do you sing?
Also, new customers! The four buff bouncers move over to Willow Warwick and her companion. The four will move over to search them and probably notice the many, many weapons. Uh... you need to put those on dah table by dah wall. Thanks. They won't take his weapons, but will watch him until he goes to put them away. The woman also speaks to them/ Erm, welcome to The Ritzzz Casino & Club!

"I was hired for whatever job I wanted to apply for as far as I understand, so I guess that tonight I'm being paid to do anything you want me to do, and I do mean anything, especially the kind of entertainment your friend is accustomed to if you're implying what I think you're implying."
Khyli coquettishly answers Dena, winking at the two drow with a confident smirk forming upon her face before replying to Kirk's question.
"Busy for my first night and for the following morning, I'd wager were I a gambling woman. I like to think of myself as a lady of many talents. I was trained as a ninja by my father so I'm proficient at swordplay and assassination if ever you need an irksome somebody removed from existence. I can mix a mean drink, cook a delicious meal, and I'm rather decent at playing games like anything involving cards, chess, checkers, mahjong, if that's your vice, and my personal favorite, Risk. I can perform magic tricks, sing any genre of music from opera to death metal, play the violin and fiddle, and dance however you'd like. I'm pretty good at hunting dangerous animals, playing video games, and I'm not half bad at bank robbery, would you believe? If none of that interests you, I juggle and am okay at most sports that aren't hockey. And of course, there's also less child friendly entertainment I can perform for you if either of you would find that more-"
Khyli attempts to lightly brush her smooth, soft devil's tail against Dena's upper leg while flashing Kirk a lustful smile! She is aiming to seduce the both of them over the course of the night.

Even more entertaining.
Dena turns to look at her companion. "Now that sounds interesting don't you think Kirky?" She looks back at Khyli with a grin. "I actually consider myself somewhat of a gambler as my companion here can attest." The drow gives Kirk a light poke in the (upper) ribs with her elbow. "So why don't we start with a game? That's what a casino is for right?"

Kirk raises his eyebrows at Khyli. Talk about forward. Almost takes the fun out of it. You know, since he has Dena here on his arm already. "Oh yes she is. Starting with a game sounds like an excellent idea to me. Maybe we can put some of those talents to use later." Kirk winks at Khyli. Doesn't mean he can't have some fun at least.
