City of Lights (Raleigh's Casinos)

[Feng]

"Wel, well, well" says Bones, stepping out of the shadows behind Raleigh. "This is an impressive place you have here Mr. Cloak."

[Miku-chan]

*Bones suddenly finds a blue edged dagger at hit throat, a female form pressing herself to his back..."Tell me Lord Bones...Do you feel...Lucky" asks the voice in his ear.

[Feng]

*Raises eyebrow*

"Is this how you treat your guests Mr. Cloak? While I applaud your ruthlessness, such behavior from your staff is only going to scare your customers away..." -_-

Reaching into his pocket Bones grabs a taser which he puts to good effect by trying to zap his assailant.

"As to your question, of course I feel lucky! Why would I be in a casino otherwise?"

[Miku-chan]

Bones quickly finds himself the recipient of his Tazer as the weapon passes thru the quantum gravity fields of his captor..." And here I thought you were suppose to be a brilliant criminal mastermind" says the voice as she steps thru the body of bones...

[Feng]

The tazer barely phases Bones due to the insulation of his clothing. (Rule 31 of evil villainy: Always be immune to your own weapons!)

"Do you mind? I'm trying to have a discussion with my ally Mr. Cloak. Why don't you go play in traffic?" -_-

*Shudders*

"And please don't phase through me next time. The chill is just awful."

(Sips tea)

[Miku-chan]

Naru just smirks as she steps back over to the others..."Traffic is no fun anymore..." she winks at the man and giggles .

[Raleigh]

Just a standard procedure for when people appear behind me. You'll notice that you still have two blades ready to cut you down even now. *Naro and Shara fade into the visible range of light each of them with their dragon blade drawn as well.* Or should I say four? *Two astral blades make their presence known as they flip about in the air around Raleigh.* Thanks, I rather like this whole little minicity. Own all of them really but this casino is the primary one that is tied most directly to me. The rest I think are owned by various shell companies and the like and do more mundane kinds of gambling. So, what do you feel like betting today? *Finally bothers to turn around.*

[Feng]

"Impressive security, Mr. Cloak. It's always good to have a good body guard around, am I correct Grumpy?"

He motions to the Chibi ninja lurking above on the ceiling, hanging upside down like a bat. He seems quite annoyed that Bones has given away his position.

"As for gambling, I think I'd like to see what games of chance you offer before I decide on a starting wager."

[Raleigh]

Aye. *The twins put away their swords and return to some security assignments such as watching over some high rollers. The astral blades fade away once more.* As for games well we have the usual games everyone is familiar with such as black jack, various forms of poker, slot machines, roulette, baccarat, and so on. We also have things like pazaak and sabacc to name others. There is also a little arena here for those more willing to bet higher stakes than mere money, skills, or stats. I'm considering adding some tracks for racing to be bet upon in the near future.

The key attraction though is that you can bet anything here. Years of your life, some of your knowledge, portions of your maximum hp, years of servitude, your first born, and other such things. The pots for such bets reflect the risk the person gambling takes.

[Feng]

"Hmmm... If you're interested in entering the racing industry, I could help you out in return for a cut of the profits. As it happens, I have certain connections in the ostrich racing business. One of them, a fellow named Joe, is a champion racer at some amusement park called the Golden Discus or something like that. I hear the sport is quite popular where he's from."

(Sips tea)

"Anyways, I am quite partial to Black Jack. Which way to the tables?"

[Harri-chan]

Elliot felt the little pinch as the bow appeared at the top of his braid, and groaned as Luka rubbed another cherry against his nose. His gaze shifted around at Bones arrival, and he just stood there, blushing as the casino security team did it's work.

"Raleigh... perhaps I could show the gentleman to the Black Jack tables and you could go help out these ladies... ", he asked.

[Raleigh]

No need Elliot. It'll take some time for you and the girls to get there while I can be there in no time. Literally. So you all go on and I'll be along. This way Bones. *Raleigh guides Bones toward the black jack tables.* Here at this casino the dealer will sit on 17 or higher if he gets it which is pretty standard.

[Feng]

"Sayonara Takoyaki-Chan," says Bones, smirking at Elliot before following Raleigh to the Black Jack table.

"Ah, most excellent," says the Criminal Mastermind, before turning to the dealer. "So, what's the minimum bid at this table?"

[Miku-chan]

Neru smirks at Elliot as bones says goodbye..."Looks like litle Ella-chan has a boyfriend as well." and takes the boys hand to start dragging him with her to the transport rings...
"Waaah...no fair, Ella-chan is suppose to be ours!" Luka mock teases...
"Bonzie can't have our little Ella" Meiko adds in as he girls follow behind blocking Elliots view of the crime lord and Raleigh. Soon they are at the transport site...

[Harri-chan]

"He's not my BOYFRIEND! And could you please stop calling me that?", he blushed as he was dragged along towards the transport rings, only now realising his blonde hair had been braided as he felt it swayed from side to side down his back, "And I'm definitely not yours! I only met you girls once before!".
