[Ashen Lilies]

"Say something? Okay."

And assuming at this point the office door looks like a regular wooden office door, Kal will ball up a fist, and attempt to punch through the door and open it from the inside. If it's made of something silly like metal, he'll just let Decker do her thing.

[The Alexandrian]

[Entrance!]

"Great! If you'll follow me to the casino, I'll see about getting us a deck of cards and a table."

Khyli will attempt to lead the pair toward the casino!

"What type of card game are you two in the mood for tonight? Poker? Texas hold 'em? And if I may diverge from the matter at hand for a minute, may I ask what you two do for a living?"

Khyli swipes a drinks menu from a passing waiter and attempts to hand it to Kirk. He and/or his date might want a drink later on in the night and she always finds it useful to know of the advertised drink selections and prices ahead of time.

[Zefir]

Entrance

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!

Piano

((As Happy mentioned, I can't know that he got no attention IC if you never mention it.))

The tall man and the half-dragon woman follow up ti the piano guy, who just continues paying.

"No, he can't sing. He can't even talk. Didn't knew he needs to sing as well."

[Hattish Thing]

((As Happy mentioned, I can't know that he got no attention IC if you never mention it.))

The tall man and the half-dragon woman follow up ti the piano guy, who just continues paying.

"No, he can't sing. He can't even talk. Didn't knew he needs to sing as well."

She just smiles and nods. Oh, that's fine. I just wondered. And is he willing to work here every Wednesday? Wednesday is live music night, those the theatre does need a new piano players... Are you interested in long or short term?

[Zefir]

Piano

"He can play every day is needed. Just care about the common terms of employment like 8 hour day, breaks and so on." the tall man replies.

Then he mentions the half dragon to come closer, taking a paper she got in her hands.

"Put the income on this bank account." The paper contains all the nessessary informations.

"And waht is with her?" the tall man asks, pointing at the half dragon woman.

[Reinholdt]

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.

To facilitate things, and because she just can't resist, Felandria reaches over and begins scritching Butler behind the ear.

Office

A suggestion spell, tears, begging AND ear scritches? Never has there been a greater mind screw since the days of Alek.

"Oh I'm sorry sir. I forgive you sir. I'll be your friend if you want me to sir." I don't know why he's apologizing.

Of course, if a door is getting punched through, that's incredibly startling. Well, maybe not as much as it should be. Decker's on the other side after all.

[Shadowcaller]

[Entrance!]

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.

[Entrance!==> Game Tables]

Dena catches sight of the guy in the policewoman uniform passing by as she is on her way to the gaming tables. Now that was something...

She attention snaps back to Khyli just as she's starting to talk about jobs. "Sword dancer. That's what I trained for." She quickly replies. "As for games, I'm more into unconventional ones. Cards games are a bit boring when you're only playing for money." Especially in the nexus.

She then attempts to swipe the menu Khyli gave to Kirk out of his hands. "I think Moscato sounds pretty good about now." She says, looking at the menu.

[Gullara]

[Entrance! => Game Tables]

Kirk doesn't even get a glimpse of the menu, but oh well. "I'll get one of those as well." He's not picky. Kirk would add more to the conversation, but he's suddenly distracted by a certain cross dressing devil. "Is that... Kal?" How odd seeing someone you kind of know under such circumstances.

[GrandDM]

Anyway, old man. No offense, sir. But you look a little old to do this sort of thing. I hope you aren't offended.

"Say something? Okay."

And assuming at this point the office door looks like a regular wooden office door, Kal will ball up a fist, and attempt to punch through the door and open it from the inside. If it's made of something silly like metal, he'll just let Decker do her thing.

As Mr Ritz walks around attending to business, the old man will follow him. However, when the strange people from the blue box show up, he will move away and follow them across the casino.

Kal will find his door-smashing halted with a precise blow to the inside of his arm, knocking it away and rendering it numb and throbbing. A foot will slam into his solar plexus, winding him and knocking him backwards onto the floor. (all attempted, of course).

"I'm afraid I can't let you smash up the premises."

[blackouttwo]

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.

"Right. 'Ritzzz.' The extra 'Z's make it cool." Arthur's dry, sarcastic tone only intensifies as he starts drawing out all of his weapons. And I'm assuming the tight pants are uncomfortable, gentlemen. I do hope so. Arthur has a decidedly poor view of outfits like what the men are wearing. If a guy's going to draw in a lady, he needs to show a bit of class. This is just...sleazy.

All of his weapons happens to include no less than seven concealed guns of varying types, a pair of ballistic knives, and what appears to be a common pencil. Close inspection will reveal the pencil is in no way remarkable. Why he's putting it on the table is a question only he can answer, but he's not liable to do so.

Felandria throws caution to the winds and starts giving Butler a belly rub.

Nope, it's wood. A plain wooden door. Kal will be able to smash right through that poor door, and unlock it.

"He can play every day is needed. Just care about the common terms of employment like 8 hour day, breaks and so on." the tall man replies.

Then he mentions the half dragon to come closer, taking a paper she got in her hands.

"Put the income on this bank account." The paper contains all the nessessary informations.

"And waht is with her?" the tall man asks, pointing at the half dragon woman.

The woman frowns and simply shrugs. A friend of Mr, Ritz's, apparently. Nevermind it, okay? Breaks, of course, and what would he like payment wise, hm? He certainly has talent. What's his name?

Yes, indeed. Marciano continues his sad, pathetic sobs before he hears what he wants. He still acts extremely upset, and very lonely. His sniffles are quite a sound. He continues his suggestion spell long enough to ask, Please work for me? Oh please, please, please? I need you in my life... I promise to pay you extra... You're such a good person... You, you're amazing. then his tummy will be rubbed by Felandria!

Then fist meets door, and Marciano does something more to convince Butler. He rolls out of his chair and in front of Butler. Stay back from my friends!

As Mr Ritz walks around attending to business, the old man will follow him. However, when the strange people from the blue box show up, he will move away and follow them across the casino.

Kal will find his door-smashing halted with a precise blow to the inside of his arm, knocking it away and rendering it numb and throbbing. A foot will slam into his solar plexus, winding him and knocking him backwards onto the floor. (all attempted, of course).

"I'm afraid I can't let you smash up the premises."

This happens, there's probably some pain.

"Right. 'Ritzzz.' The extra 'Z's make it cool." Arthur's dry, sarcastic tone only intensifies as he starts drawing out all of his weapons. And I'm assuming the tight pants are uncomfortable, gentlemen. I do hope so. Arthur has a decidedly poor view of outfits like what the men are wearing.

The four guards don't seem to really care about Arthur's whining. They're not paid to talk to the people. The bouncers raise eyebrows at all the weaponry. Dat is impressive. The pants? The pants are fine. Why ask? Would you like a pair to impress your lady? We sell dem.

[Ashen Lilies]

[Office]

Woo! Progress! Kal bashes through the door, but then has his arm paralyzed by some jerk who's rather over attached to it. He's not kicked in the solar plexus though, as he has enough sense dodge that.
"Go." He says to Decker, before launching his cunning counter attack! Instead of bothering with namby pamby nerve strikes or pressure point blows, he attempts to use the ancient techniques passed down to him from generations past by the wise and learned masters of the Black Lotus Academy, where he did his training.
...
He tries to knee his assailant in the groin, followed by headbutting him.
...
Hey, whatever works, man.

[Zefir]

Piano

((I don't quiet get her first sentence.))

"I assume [A bit over avarage] payment for a skilled player as he is." The tall man replies to the woman.

"And as I already mentioned to you boss. call him piano guy. It's best for all of us."

[happyturtle]

Lobby Office

The Docent has said on previous occasions: "They're roller skates. I wear roller skates now. Roller skates are cool."

Spoiler

Show

"Jane Smith" rollerskates through the door wreckage, and attempts to skate around Marciano and Felandria to scoop Butler up in her arms.

This is highly unlikely to work, and very highly likely to result in the devil time lord crashing into one or more of the people in the office. Roller skates aren't nearly as cool as she thinks they are.


Entrance

Willow turns over a thigh holster gun that doesn't look like it shoots bullets. Once those unpleasantries are dealt with, she hooks an arm in Arthur's and heads for the craps table.

[Reinholdt]

Lobby Office

Gah. Belly rubs! Butler doesn't like those. Butler likes ear scritches. =x

"I-"
Well look at that.
"Oh it's ok sir. That's my wife sir. Hi De-" Well either he's getting kidnapped on skates or run into or someone else is getting run into. Either way it looks like Butler can barely get words in before SOMETHING happens.

[Felandria]

When the door gets smashed, Felandria pulls herself away from Butler and gets into position in front of the door, ready to strike.

[McBish]

Two men come into the new casino looking around. They both look fairly average maybe a bit more muscular than you would expect from random citzens. They are dressed in plain clothes that look well worn, a patch on the elbows or knees.

"I'm telling you if Meg finds out we came here she will kill us?" Jim says looking back behind them as they come in as if looking to see if anyone is following them.

"Nonsense, she would want us to this place out. Someone has to take a look around. Gordon says reassuring his friend and putting an arm around his shoulder continuing to lead him into the casino. "Besides how likely is it that she could find out about us being here?"

[GrandDM]

[Office]

Woo! Progress! Kal bashes through the door, but then has his arm paralyzed by some jerk who's rather over attached to it. He's not kicked in the solar plexus though, as he has enough sense dodge that.
"Go." He says to Decker, before launching his cunning counter attack! Instead of bothering with namby pamby nerve strikes or pressure point blows, he attempts to use the ancient techniques passed down to him from generations past by the wise and learned masters of the Black Lotus Academy, where he did his training.
...
He tries to knee his assailant in the groin, followed by headbutting him.
...
Hey, whatever works, man.

The knee is blocked by a downward palm strike, gripping the thigh, then the old man, who is apparently a ninja, spins, avoiding the headbutt, still holding the leg, stabs his own leg through Kal's, grips Kal's arm and flips him clean over, slamming him into the ground.

"Hey, giant bouncer woman! A little help? I might be a Grandmaster, but I can't be in two places at once!"

[Hattish Thing]

Marciano does not want this kind of attention, this blatant destrucon of his innocent door makes him a little upset. He balls up his fist and yells a little. Stop! Seriously you psychopaths! Stop it right now! Old man, quit it. ....Police woman? Man? Whatever, quit this. That door is my property, and you just broke it. You've damaged my casino, and I'm going to press charges, hear me?! I will send you to jail, righ-Oow!

Roller skates. Ouch. The devil time lord barrels right into Mr. Ritz, knocking him over. She's attacked a cripple, nice. Ah, help me!

----

Two men in shabby clothing walk in! How nice! The young woman nods at them briefly and speaks cheerily. Oh, hello young men! Welcome to The Ritzzz Casino & Club! Gambling, Games, and Adult Theatre.

----

The woman nods at the piano man. Oh... I'll have to. Lear it with the boss, but so far so good! The payment works too. What does he eat? And... What is he, exactly?

[Felandria]

The knee is blocked by a downward palm strike, gripping the thigh, then the old man, who is apparently a ninja, spins, avoiding the headbutt, still holding the leg, stabs his own leg through Kal's, grips Kal's arm and flips him clean over, slamming him into the ground.

"Hey, giant bouncer woman! A little help? I might be a Grandmaster, but I can't be in two places at once!"

Felandria crawls through the door and gets to her feet, standing next to the old man.

What do you need?

[Zefir]

The man now looks directly into the womans eyes. His face appears very intimidating, but that isn't his pruppose. As he speaks up his words carry a spell which should make her belive his words are her thoughts.

"You don't want to know. He is just a human , nothing more adn therefor eats what human eat."

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.

[McBish]

Two men in shabby clothing walk in! How nice! The young woman nods at them briefly and speaks cheerily. Oh, hello young men! Welcome to The Ritzzz Casino & Club! Gambling, Games, and Adult Theatre.

"Perfect, I love adult theatre." Gordon says grining happily. Jim just shakes his head sighing. "What about drinks? I think I am going to need drinks to survive tonight." The two of them are both looking around the Casino.

[Ashen Lilies]

The knee is blocked by a downward palm strike, gripping the thigh, then the old man, who is apparently a ninja, spins, avoiding the headbutt, still holding the leg, stabs his own leg through Kal's, grips Kal's arm and flips him clean over, slamming him into the ground.

"Hey, giant bouncer woman! A little help? I might be a Grandmaster, but I can't be in two places at once!"

First off! Godmodding! Don't do it! It's bad, kay? Secondly... apparently being a ninja allows you to stab people with your leg?

Do ninjas replace their legs with blades? Or maybe ninja training involves sharpening your foot into a fearsome stabbing implement! I don't know!

And we never will know, because the old man never gets that far in his assault! See, Kal is a Scotsman, and Scotsmen are natural counters to ninjas! As soon as the old man spins to avoid the headbutt, Kal responds by attempting to use the fearsome counter-spinning technique of "I jump on your back and hit you repeatedly in the back of the head", a complicated maneuver in which a 6 foot plus muscular dude wearing a policewoman outfit attempts to jump on an old man's back and hit him repeatedly in the back of the head.

[happyturtle]

Lobby Office

Decker crawls over to Butler and kisses him.

Mmm... Butler kisses....

Everyone else is ignored. She's kissing her husband.

[Reinholdt]

Lobby Office

"Please stop fighting sirs, ma'ams!" It's distressing and makes Butler not want to work for anyone.

Kissing on the other hand, is de-stressing. Which is nice. Mmmm... kissing. Guess he has no more complaints for the time being.

[The Alexandrian]

[Game Tables]

Khyli's attention is attracted to Kal very briefly when Kirk incredulously poses his question. ... Huh. That right there is not something that you see everyday. A male fighting decently in heels. What a rare breed!

Moving on...

Khyli signals a passing waiter to approach and quickly places Kirk and Dena's order before pressing on to an empty game table, picking up a sealed deck of cards, tearing the pack open, and shuffling the cards with the standard table riffle shuffle. While her performance in shuffling the cards is adequate, it might be noticed that it is a little sloppy as if she recently learned the shuffling technique and hasn't practiced it enough to master it.

"Then what would you like to play for? I believe the casino normally only accepts wagers where legal currency is involved, but I've got some personal items that we could play for off of the books. I'll wager servitude time, souls, information, though I haven't been keeping up to date on anything important recently besides the Riverside plague, clothes, or a magical item."

So, how would you guys like to rp these games?

[GrandDM]

First off! Godmodding! Don't do it! It's bad, kay? Secondly... apparently being a ninja allows you to stab people with your leg?

Do ninjas replace their legs with blades? Or maybe ninja training involves sharpening your foot into a fearsome stabbing implement! I don't know!

One, not godmodding. All combat actions are attempted. Second, I meant between his legs - as in, one leg gripped, old man grabs arm and flips Kal over, using his leg to trip Kal.

Third, the old man is jumped on, but as Kal begins to punch, he lunges forward into a flip, coming down on Kal with an elbow.

Felandria crawls through the door and gets to her feet, standing next to the old man.

What do you need?

"Don't come out here! Get the other one!"

[Ashen Lilies]

And so the old man does a forward flip with a ~170 pound tiefling on his back.
...
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."

[Felandria]

All this chaos, fighting and kissing...

Felandria knew what she had to do.

ENOUGH!

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?
