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.

[One of those people is Muraki, who is doing a little snooping of his own. He's willing to bet the shinigami are keeping together, but knowing where they were staying would be an excellent start in tracking Tsuzuki's movements. Mostly that involves wandering about in view of the lobby, or inconspicuously taking lunch in the adjoining restaurant.

Or as inconspicuous as a man in a white suit tends to be, that is.]

[ Sorry, Muraki. It's really difficult to be inconspicuous in New Vegas when you're fully clothed and white and silver from head to toe. Especially in a sea of half-drunken men, near-naked and gyrating women...

Watari spots you looking out for Tsuzuki and arches a little eyebrow. ]

Look what we found 003 ♥

[ Watari says out loud when he's close enough. He's not too worried about being alone and approaching Muraki like this. What's a little chat, anyway?

And besides, he's not Tsuzuki or Hisoka. For better or for worse. ]

[madetosin]

[Muraki actually recognizes the owl before he recognizes Watari, but one could pretty much be the other for all that he cares. He doesn't even bother to look the shinigami directly in the face.]

So it's you. How much of Meifu is wandering about here now?
