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.

[She shrank back a bit with a rather guilty look on her face.]

Well...I didn't want to be a bother to anyone. I spent a lot of time thinking. Mostly wishful thinking but I've making sure there's enough food around.

[strategic_guile]

[He shakes his head at her.]

One of those self-sacrificing types. What are friends for, if you can't lean on their shoulder?

[needsteaplz]

[She shakes her head and laughs bitterly.]

And here I thought I shook off that old bad habit. Sorry if I made you and everyone worry.

[strategic_guile]

Old habits rear their heads when you're stressed.

[He leans over to give her a friendly nudge.]

It's alright, as long as you don't forget about me again.

[Bats eyes.]

[needsteaplz]

[She nudges back and giggles. Now there's the Saori he should be familiar with.]

Forget you? Sweetie, you're one in a million and as if I could ever forget someone like you.

[strategic_guile]

[He can only grin]

That's what I like to hear. So what are you doing later?

[needsteaplz]

Oh not much really. I did a decent clean up on the roulette tables and I could a decent change of pace. Maybe with some company if you're available?

[There was plenty of time to gather the mission goals and some extra goodies after all.]

[strategic_guile]

I'm always available for you, my dear Saori.

[did he have a drink? Lets say he has one and is giving it a sip while a smile grace his lips that is entirely too mischievous.]

And what shall I be accompanying you to do?

[needsteaplz]

Hmm....so many choices, so little time. [She's got an equally mischievous smile too.]

Drinking and gaming is good but I'm craving something else. Gods it's been way overdue for months now.

[strategic_guile]

I'll give you whatever you need~

[He tilts his head a bit in mock thought]

Though I don't see why we can't keep up the drinking.

[needsteaplz]

[Oh, Blaine, you're lucky she can't say no with you. She laughs.]

Okay, a few more but I'd still like to remember my time here by the time we have to go back though.

[strategic_guile]

You can't be that far gone already~

[He peers at her.]

I definitely have some things I want you to remember real well later.
