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.

Kougyoku, you're going to piss a lot of people off—

[ in which security has reached them and if she cuts that slot machine, there is no way he can smooth his way out of this. ]

[ With a loud battle cry and a swing of her sword, she cuts the machine in half.

They're dead. ]

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-01 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shit.

Shit.

















SHIT. Silence falls in the room, the only sound is the fading electrical crack of the fallen slot machine. Izumo sighs, takes off his sunglasses, and tucks them neatly in his coat. And like a movie in slow motion, patrons start to scream and yell and panic. Security, of course, yell out, "Alright, you two, you're coming with us!" making a grab for Izumo's arm, that is until it's surrounded by flames. ]


Princess, how fast can you run?

[ "Coming with us?" They only said that to criminals, right? Oh no... oh no, she did something bad. Kougyoku returns her sword to its original form and becomes aware of the world around her. Everyone is screaming, there are men with guns, she is outnumbered. Fear flashes on her face for a moment and she purses her lips. It is then she realizes that she dragged Izumo into this mess, too ]

...Faster than a flying carpet?

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-01 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ... He'd laugh, but. ]

If that's the case... [ he really doesn't wanna do this, he really doesn't. but his arm's already covered in aura. ] Sorry about this, and fellas—[ addressing security, who are staring wide-eyed at his arm. ] Don't take it too personally.

[ a blink and the flames from his arms expand and grow, moving and swirling of their own accord until he snaps his fingers and they lunge towards the guards at a frightening speed, but they dodge and end up landing on the floor, setting it ablaze.

he lets his aura recede from his for now, pulling the cigarette from his mouth to put it out with his foot. ]


C'mon. [ inclining his head towards Kougyoku and running. ]

[personal profile] redsea 2014-02-01 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Is this really okay... Maybe they should turn themselves in—

Nah, she's running with him. They make it through the casino, past the aquarium and out the hotel while avoiding patrons and personnel along the way. ]


Where are we going, Izumo?

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-02 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Transport pad, if we find it.

[ Amidst the running and dodging, he can hear gunshots flying. Oh boy. ]

If we don't, we're gonna hafta steal a car.

[ nearly dodges a bullet, jeez. ]

[personal profile] redsea 2014-02-02 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ These bullets are annoying, but she's faced worse. Kougyoku stops in her tracks momentarily to wave her hairpin and summon a wall of ice tall and thick enough to block off the hotel entrance.

She's been practicing. ]


I'm right behind you! [ Wait. ] Have you ever stolen a car before?

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-08 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Right, hotel entrance is totally iced. He whistles, impressed. ]

Impressive. [ but he grins at her question ] Have I ever given the impression that I haven't?

[ and he's going to walk at all these parked cars, chatting up valets to ask around about owner-less cars. ]

[ Oh no, this is the kind of man Ka Koubun warned her about. But she can't stop now — this kind of life is so exciting!

it's her fault they're being chased though

So she's taken it upon herself to be Izumo's bodyguard, blocking him from any woman clad in nothing but a strip of leather. When he's finished with his business, Kougyoku comes running back. ]


Izumo, the people here are absolutely insane! And very lewd. I did not know it could be that big!

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-08 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ now showing: Grand Theft Auto—Neo Las Vegas. Kougyoku Ren and Izumo Kusanagi are your current playable characters.

—Izumo laughs at her indignation at scantily clad ladies though, looking up from her to... well, said ladies in particular. They're smiling and waving at him, a few even send flying kisses. ]


Welcome to Vegas, princess. [ sending a wink at one of those girls. ] Entertainment capital of the world, or so the stories say. I wouldn't mind spendin' some time with those ladies, however.

[ ha...ha....ha...................he's gross bye ]
redsea: (013 ❀ there'll be music)

[personal profile] redsea 2014-02-08 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ SCANDALOUS! She turns beet red. ]

We need to keep going! [ She starts pushing him in the opposite direction. ] Goodbye, ladies! Good—goodbye!

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-09 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Aight, aight. [ he does wave goodbye at them, as they do the same thing. he thinks they're disappointed, but there are a lot of people in the city, and there's a whole slew of Transports.

he opens the passenger's seat for Kougyoku to get in ]
Ladies first—

[ that is until he hears a gunshot overhead.

they broke the ice, ah shit. ]
redsea: (072 ❀ and it's nothing like)

[personal profile] redsea 2014-02-09 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[ She gets in and shuts the car door as fast as she can. IS IT A CONVERTIBLE, OR... well, it's a hover car. She bangs on the windows. ]

Is there a way to make this glass disappear? I will hold them off!

[ Teach her technology. ]

[personal profile] ex_longanimity327 2014-02-26 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, gimme a sec.

[ hold on, he's gonna get in and start the car with the keys he managed to filch from the varlets, and presses a button that lowers the windows. ]

Ya know, I've never thought I'd be able ta' drive a car like this. [ slams on the pedals ] Better hold on tight, princess!
