Operation: Roll Out

Date & Time: January 31st - February 4th, Present Day Exsilium Time
Location: Neo Las Vegas, in what formerly was called Turkey.
Characters: All Transports!
Summary: Transports have been sent to Neo Las Vegas to gather information on the origin point of the United Earth and the UE AI. Conference sabotage and the rest is expected and invited!
Warnings: Gambling and alcoholic beverages quite likely! Please PM the mod account for anything else.

By day, the landscape isn't desert, precisely, so much as it is dry. Winter's settled in and found in the biting chill of the wind when it finds you standing on the street. Hovercars and taxis thrum down the cobblestone streets, cavorting and honking like a noisy crowd of inelegant, overweight geese. Men walk by on stilts half in make-up, on their way back to their stage for the next night. Walks of shame are taken proudly in this district, one of the few approved and sanctioned vacation zones in the United Earth.

Evidence of law enforcement can be found all around, but they seem altogether too pleased to be there too. Talk with any one of them about crime rates, and they're liable to laugh at the idea. Those who come to gamble know the house is rigged to win. It's not about making or breaking the bank -- people whose funds dip too low are politely escorted back to their rooms and given a set of normal playing cards -- but it is about enjoyment.

Of the flesh too, and it'd be difficult to find anyone working in Neo Las Vegas who suffers from modesty, or anyone visiting who seems unwilling to politely ask visitors and staff if they'd like to keep them company for the night. In fact, Transports may find themselves needing to turn down multiple such requests! The refusal is always taken well. These are people looking to have a good time, and that's all.

No chance taken, nothing gained, right?

At night, the city really comes alive, the lights in all the hotels and casinos turning the Neo Las Vegas Strip into a carnival of sensation. Drinks and recreational drugs are freely passed around, men and women engage in a variety of sexual and other hedonistic excesses without regret, and the beautiful interiors and ostentatious or playful exteriors of the buildings hide and reveal a rich tapestry of events, delectables, and desires waiting to be fulfilled.

Neo Las Vegas is a fun place, and it is a safe place, and it is Where the Conferences For Our Future Are Made. Playtime is on, gang.

Trust me, you're probably not the only one planning on doing that. Hell, maybe I'll drop by to listen. Maybe I could make living here by changing people's luck. It'd only be temporary though.

[A little selfish wishing didn't hurt but the mission and why she brought here nagged at her in the back of her head. That could honestly wait though.]

Whoa, wait. You can actually do that? Change people's luck? Why aren't you a bazillonaire by now then?! [He looks earnestly shocked.]

Well, I'm a little limited since this isn't my home world. Still, I can give several people one hour-long luck boosts at one time. Also, if people suddenly started raking in cash and it's traced back to me, I'd probably be banned from the casinos.

How'd they trace that back to you? Ain't it like, magic or somethin'? But hell, do it to me and I'd never rat ya out.
needsteaplz: (A smile for the customers)

I'm sure someone who wouldn't be satisfied would probably rat me out...but this is Vegas so why the hell not.

Alright. One hour-long luck boost coming up~

[A pale yellow aura surrounded her right hand, which she placed on his chest. Johnny would feel a warmth spreading throughout his body and maybe a burst of confidence in his mind.]

Now, it's not a 100% luck boost; maybe a 30% increase.

[That was weird... but he grins. This is going be fun. Time to hit the poker tables. He's going to need the luck boost when he's this sloshed.]

Awesome. Trust me, yer secret's safe with me. Time for some poker! You in?
