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.

[The bartender doesn't bat an eye at the child at the bar. he merely presents a tall pink glass and winks at Adam in all the in appropriate ways. Adam makes no motion that he noticed, only holds his glass like he's going to drink it. He looks at the child and his pink drink, then asks the question everyone should be wondering.]

What do you know of bar talk?

[badnewsboy]

[he totally blends in all blendy like, being Loki with his Asgardian robes and all-too precocious way of speaking. he takes the small umbrella from his drink, opening and closing it a few times experimentally before his focus goes back to the conversation.]

I know this is where all the underhanded fellows who want to save the world come to talk.

[it's just like in ever Midgardian moving film ever.]

[Uses for magic that shouldn't be allowed — getting bendy straws. It floats between his fingers and he puts it down beside Loki's drink. Adam looks down the bar both ways before looking at his odd bar buddy beside him.]

Here?

You'll find that the the underhanded fellows might be more concerned with other distractions [super pointed look at a source of delighted giggling] than saving the world.
