It seemed like a good idea at the time...

Date & Time: 2698, fin-de-millenium, just prior to the formation of the United Earth
Location: Las Vegas
Characters: Break, Kevin, Gilbert, Oz, Elliot, Alice, Allen, Lenalee, Rosette, Chrono, Chrysos
Summary: Fear and loathing
Warnings: Showgirls and Gilbert weeping.

The statement “Let’s go to Vegas” exists as the multiverse’s quintessential definition of, “well it seemed like a good idea at the time.” Even in this case, it really had, between zombies, insurrection, and the day to day tedium of life on the moon. Besides which, Xerxes Break has a new sentient (sentient-er) weapon, which in a stunning show of good judgement is too dangerous to test on the moonbase, nor in any concentration of people. Las Vegas, set against the backdrop of the vast, desolate Mojave desert, seemed to be a perfect choice.

When our heroes wink into existence, squinting against the early-morning desert sunshine, they’ll find themselves duly welcomed. Come play in the casino. When you feel a bit peckish, indulge in all you can eat. Take your winnings and go shopping; at night, take in a show. And if you’ve done really well gambling, unwind in a ridiculously luxurious suite.

…or is this how you’re spending the night?

Thirty-six hours in Vegas, what could possibly go wrong?

he starts to laugh. )

Nothing's strange about it!

[Rosette, he'd love to help you out with this little cop situation, but he has a situation of his own in the backseat. He tries to shift away from Break (?) but he's already pushed up against the side of the car as it is. He can only stare in horror at the expression on his boss's face.]

B-Break?! What's wrong with you?!
anklets: (harken)

gorgeous

[ NO, IT JUST SUDDENLY OCCURRED TO HER AFTER THE VIOLENCE. ]

Yeah, if you didn't pull me away, I might have gotten in trouble.
retraced: (something isn't right here)

Well, this is supposed to be a vacation after all. Maybe that was a little too serious.

I'm also not supposed to gamble with you ever again!

[ Oz is treated to the sight of—not much, actually, since Chrono didn't bother to turn the lights on (or else turned them off shortly after entering.) There's just a tongue floating in the mirror.

... A bright green glowing tongue... ]

[Behind them, there's the squealing sound of a cop car spinning out of control and a loud crash as it hits a guard rail. The POP POP POP! behind them sounds almost like fireworks until the rear and front windows spiderweb around a bullet hole.

WHAT DID THEY EVEN DO IN THAT CASINO?]


He's...

[That tone, that laugh.................................................................................................................................................]

Gilbert! Keep him down!

XERXES BREAK! FIGHT BACK FOR NOW! Don't give in to that stupid doll! I'll do a proper exorcism after I throw off these bastards! DON'T YOU KNOW NOT TO SHOOT AT A NUN?!

[It's another sickening, wrenching turn.]
velveteened: (} i would give my life to be human)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-12-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
That's right; I forgot.

( it's been a long time, far too long, since then )
soul_sister: (That's because we're going to cheat)

[personal profile] soul_sister 2013-12-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well that clearly wont work. Since I was holding back on you before. You couldn't have been satisfied with just that.
velveteened: (} and welcomes little fishes in)

[personal profile] velveteened 2013-12-09 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're right! That's not satisfying at all.
anklets: (keep keeping on)

[She nods, some approval at last. He can't very well run out on her should she laden him down with clothes.]

There were some shoes I liked in that one, back there.
