City of Lights

[Raleigh]

*Dirge snatches her sword by the handle and swings it to intercept the blow.* Dirge: Well you are fast.

[AmbushCat]

*The sword vibrates with the blow, and the ground cracks beneath their feet.*

Sorta like saying that 'all toasters toast toast', Funey-chan! *engulfs her fist in flames in the hope that both the sword and Dirge will follow suit*

[Raleigh]

*Dirge grins as the blade seems to simply absorb the flames.* Dirge: I don't know about that. I've met a few toasters that killed other toasters and then screamed about how they would destroy the world. *Her spiked and armored tail lashes around to the left in an attempt to get a good kidney stab in.*

Eventually, someone is attracted to the 'normal' part of the casino, and wanders inside. This person is an Eevee-girl who looks similar to this but with the silvery fur color of a shiny (and hair the same), and is wearing denim shorts and a tank top with what looks to be a company logo: The letters P.F.L. superimposed on a white pokeball-like symbol. She looks around, seemingly seeking a staff member or someone like that to ask a question of.

[Raleigh]

*Litany finishes up instructing some of the dancing girls turns and sees the pokegirl wandering about asking questions. She makes her way to her to see if she can help.* Hello miss. How might I help you?

[Whatevr89532]

"Ah, hey," she says with a friendly wave. "I'm wondering something about how the power gambling works exactly...or uh, how it could work? Obviously I'm part pokemon, and my powers more or less all take the form of moves. But I also don't want something new that's not a move . So I was wondering whether I could specifically ask to risk a move to gain moves, or something like that?"

[AmbushCat]

*Dirge grins as the blade seems to simply absorb the flames.* Dirge: I don't know about that. I've met a few toasters that killed other toasters and then screamed about how they would destroy the world. *Her spiked and armored tail lashes around to the left in an attempt to get a good kidney stab in.*

Feh. Semantics!

*Zapana lets the tail stab her, then reaches down and grabs it one-handed. If she's in any sort of pain from either action, she doesn't show it.*

[Raleigh]

Litany: Ah, yes we do have something like that. Let me take you to the more pokecreature oriented section. As for how it works you play a game of chance with your buy in being a certain move you put up. You win either the offered prize move and keep what you have or, if it is against multiple players rather than the house alone, all the moves that were bet.

*Dirge looks at Zapana seeming to wait and see what she will do. Her wings vibrate a bit and a fine dust or powder begins to fill the air.*

[Whatevr89532]

"That sounds good," she says. "Umm, my name is Whyte. Sorry I didn't think to introduce myself first." That done, she lets herself be led to the relevant section.

[AmbushCat]

*Dirge looks at Zapana seeming to wait and see what she will do. Her wings vibrate a bit and a fine dust or powder begins to fill the air.*

*throws her free hand forward* Shōkyaku!

*A wave of fire erupts from her hand, catching both Dirge (and likely the powder her wings were emitting) within its range.*

[Raleigh]

Dirge: Genetic Memory: Devour. *The flames begin to flow down into Dirge being absorbed along with the air around her.* What else you got? *Parts of her armored hide trail a bit of smoke and there is signs some of her hair is singed but she seems relatively safe.*

Litany: Greetings to you then, Miss Whyte. My name is Litany, daughter of the owner of this place. *Litany has lead Whyte to the appropriate section. All around various poke type creatures can be found including rather mundane normal pokemon. A lot of games one would expect to find in a casino are going on as well as some odd ones. The power roulette like in the normal section stands out along with games like black jack, poker, and the like.* If you have any troubles just ask anyone who works here for help. If someone is getting too rowdy.. *Here she points at what appears to be a three year old girl in the corner of the room who is looking mildly bored while standing next to a rather typical expressionless man in a black body guard type suit. The man has a rather large and heavy looking sword slung across his back.* Elenore will deal with them.

[AmbushCat]

*By way of reply, Zapana gives Dirge's tail a nice solid yank with the intent of "removing" it through sheer strength. That, or pulling her into easy melee range. She's okay with either.*

[Whatevr89532]

"Thanks. I don't intend to cause trouble myself anyway," Whyte nods. She heads over to the roulette to take a closer look at how exactly it works, hoping to watch someone else play before having a go herself.

[Raleigh]

*Dirge lets herself be pulled in and as she gets near her wings transform into razor edged blades that slash at Zapana's arms.*

*In the pokecasino section*
*A shaymin in sky form wagers magic leaf on red in the hopes of getting grass knot, which the house is wagering, from the roulette wheel which is one of the possible wins. The wheel begins to spin and lands on green double zero. He grumbles as he has now lost the move. A few others complain at losing too.*

[Whatevr89532]

"Hmm..." Whyte reminds herself not to bet anything she can't afford to lose, and steps up to try and risk Tackle on whatever's available, betting on black.
