Operation: Roll Out

[initiates]

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.

Tatsumi would probably decide. Likely in another hour or two perhaps. Just don't you go getting too carried away, Watari-san.

[Because he knows what his colleagues are like. Especially Watari. At least Hisoka will be there to keep an eye on Tsuzuki. Hopefully his colleague will do the same for the scientist. In any case, they are here and have work to do, even if Hisoka himself is not exactly eagerly anticipating this particular case with the crowds.]

That's too long! Can't we just go off for a while and then meet back here after- oh - an hour or two? ♥

[ Don't forget, Watari has no sense of direction.... But maybe he can fly overhead?! ]

[deathofempathy]

You know Tatsumi would budget if he did give you any money, right? So I doubt you will need all that long.

[But whatever. Hisoka isn't really the one in charge anyway. So it isn't necessarily up to him. There is a shrug from the youngest shinigami, raising one hand as 003 flies around at his head to stop the bird getting too close.]

[occlusion]

[ He had to drag Tsuzuki away from the lure of cheap beer. From the many adverts for call girls. From the street vendors selling overpriced food. There were much too many distractions, and Hisoka wasn't physically able to pull away that grown man drooling over those questionable kebab stands. This mission was the focus, not the tourism trap that this all was. So it was that, hauling Tsuzuki by the arm as forcefully as possible, Tatsumi came up behind the two that had proceeded ahead. ]

We must stay in pairs, as standard procedure. We'll meet back here in two hours. I brought my communication device with me just in case. --Kurosaki, you and Tsuzuki will go together, do you agree?

[deathofempathy]

[There is a nod of agreement after giving Tsuzuki an almost exasperated and long-suffering look. He can tell this will be a difficult mission just attempting to keep his partner from all of this, let alone their real objective for that matter. But Hisoka doesn't complain, merely agrees to Tatsumi's decision. It was reassuring to note he could seek Tatsumi if necessary at least.]

That sounds fine. If you think this won't get too out of hand, I mean.
