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.

[There's no way Lisbeth will be able to hear someone knocking at the door while they're all doing shots in the kitchenette. The counter's covered in flavored vodka by the time she finally breaks away to find another pack of cigarettes. She left most of her Christmas stash in Exsilium, but whatever she's brought with her to Vegas is already gone.

She's rifling through people's coat pockets by the door when she finally hears the knock. Furrowing her brow, Lisbeth peeks through the peephole and sees Nill on the other side.]

Oh shit. [She finally opens up the door.] You haven't been waiting out here long, have you?

[reassures]

[Eh, she wouldn't have bothered with knocking too long. if Lisbeth didn't noticed she probably would've 'said' something, but thankfully Nill has impeccable timing. She smile at Lisbeth when she opens the door.]

Not at all. Don't worry.

[hejhej]

[Oh good. Lisbeth opens the door a bit wider to let her in. She first notices the ribbons in Nill's hair and then soon she's looking at her dress. Lisbeth makes sure not to stare too long because that's just creepy.]

You look nice. Is that new?

[It had to have been. The luxuries they'd all been missing were here in Neo Las Vegas.]

[reassures]

[Gosh Lisbeth. Control your eyes!! Though Nill does look very pretty it's true.]

Thank you.

[Her smile widens, and she nods, hands moving to smooth down her skirt a little.]

Yes-- I won a lot in the casino, so I thought it might be nice to dress up.
