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?
(ooc: feel free to start threads willy-nilly, name your time and place, threadjack and mingle)

You know, I have a little sister. ( not so little anymore, but old habits die hard. ) I think you'd like her.
no subject
Hmm, is she like you?
no subject
— though, she's a little old for that now.
no subject
You miss her, I bet.
no subject
( it's what he always says, really, and for all that it'd be nice to have her near when she was here, the fears of what could happen to her....
especially now. )
no subject
Maybe! Maybe she can do it! Maybe she'd be really good..
Maybe you'd lose her because she hates being the weaker one. You can't!
... You can't hog Vegas!

and also —
' if i've learned anything after all these years, it's that you never know how much time you'll have with someone. i'm not going to take it for granted that i'll be able to thank you later.'
it's so easy to tell, honestly, who's the stronger sibling in this relationship. )
4/5
No, you're right.
( it's ada who's had to fear losing her sibling, but that's not something to share to even a drunk person who likely won't remember all this, one who also already has. )
Maybe I owe her an apology.
5/5!

[Now her voice lowers, the kind of tone one takes when regarding the massiveness of the universe.]
I'm not sure even BOTH of us could get all of it.
no subject
There's only one way to find out, isn't there?
no subject
[SHE STARTS TO HER FEET AND... wow the floor is still unpleasant.]
... Help me up.
no subject
he gets to his feet more easily, then leans over so he can hold out a hand to her. )
no subject
You're a good brother!
[She misses slightly before she manages to ruffle his hair. THEN. She points dramatically into the air.]
All right! Watch out Vegas!
