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

[maddeninghatter]

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?

Good!

[ she munches at a piece of the meat on her plate, answering him with an already stuffed mouth. who needs manners? not her. from her understanding, the members of this mission team are all working together, and of course alice would do her best to get along with all of them. they're all friends, right? having so many people around is still quite new to her, but it isn't unwelcome. anyone that was friends with oz and seaweed head were okay with her!

... she's not sharing though. (y'know not that it would be hard to get your own ham here anyways). ]

Did you see all the meat over there too?

[debtor]

[Don't mind him as he starts shoving some sort of pasta dish in his face as well. Even gentlemanliness sometimes needs to take a backseat when there's food involved.

It's not quite Jerry's cooking, but it is good THIS IS GOOD.]

Mmhm, there's an amazing selection!

They haven't got anything like this on the Moon, we'd better eat up.

[bunnivore]

Yeah!

[ she smiles cheerfully, and allen is thus safe from the wrath of her potential tsun. how lucky of him.

with plates filled up to a mountain top it was time to take a seat and enjoy their delicious meal, so she walks to an empty table looking back at allen, expecting him to follow. ] Hey, how long have you been on the Moon?

[debtor]

[Stripping the meat off a chicken drumstick as he walks and talks,]

Since we arrived, in October. But I've been in this world for... a long time.

What about you?

[bunnivore]

I don't know. I arrived... [ what is time, can i eat it? ] not too long ago. Apparently Oz has been here for a long time, so I'm still getting used to it.

[debtor]

[Ah, she's new...]

You're a friend of Oz's?

1/2

[bunnivore]

Yeah.

[ she sits and

STARTS TO GORGES HERSELF, DURING THIS CONVERSATION. ]

[bunnivore]

[ s w a l l o w s. ]

Or more accurately, he's my man-servant.

[debtor]

[Wastes no time stuffing himself as she does-

wait.]

Really? Oz is?

[THIS IS NEWS...]

[bunnivore]

Of course.

[ and he better not forget it! ]

[debtor]

He never mentioned that. Is he doing his job well here?

[bunnivore]

Who knows...

[ HE'S ALWAYS RUNNING AROUND. ]
