Jade didn’t like his hand. But you lose some and you win some. It would probably be good for him to lose a few hands. Would keep him from standing out. A voice reached him and he looked up upon being addressed. He greeted the gym leader able to recognize him due to his voice.
[break][break]
After Josh was dealt in it wasn’t long until everyone else folded. Hearing his question he shook his head. ”I’m unsure this is my first time here. However I did see a bar over there, unsure if they changed anything,” he said gesturing towards where he had seen the bar.
[break][break]
He would’ve said more as a way of keeping up conversation except he was distracted by someone else joining them. It was someone they didn’t recognize which didn’t phase him. Do to his work as an idol he pretty use to meeting knew people. Luckily the person didn’t seem to be a fan of his.
[break][break]
”Thank you, I like your costume as well,” he told them giving the new person a warm smile. ”I’m afraid I just decided to go for simple. I already had the kimono so I just decided to wear that and purchase some fairy wings. I don’t really need much to stand out,” he explained his dual colored eyes having been fixed on Makoto while he spoke to them.
[break][break]
As Josh explained his costume idea he listened to what he had to say. He wasn’t to knowledgeable about Raikou or his counterparts or any of the legends about the beast. So it was interesting hearing about this kind of stuff. His hand seemed to be getting worse as well so he had to throw in his own cards.
[break][break]
Nebula was still at his feet ignoring the other two Pokémon. The Absol only cared about making sure nothing happened to her human. So he was keeping an eye on all the partygoers. Jade being use to the dark type being like that didn’t even try and interfere.

Ah. Casino Starlight. It was a great place, if Magnus didn't have to wear this insane getup, he'd probably be stoked about all the ass he could hold in his hands. Unfortunately for him though, he wanted to stick to the theme, since he was with his girl, Leilani Reinhardt. With her around his arm, no chance in hell was he gonna not at least try.[break][break]

Man was a lot of things; a raging douche canoe, a massive asshole, a silver-tongued manwhore. But one who disappoints his own pack? Not one of 'em.[break][break]

So here he sits in glorified cosplay, a fake beard, fake pointy ears, and golden adorned cosplay armor. He didn't make it himself, but he knew a guy and had it ordered for twice the price asked to be sent sooner than later. It shimmered in the lights of the casino, and he felt oddly befitting once all was said and done.[break][break]

He looked good. But nothing beats Leilani looking like she did, and dangerous was definitely the word he'd use for her. With a whistle, and a low growl, he knew he would enjoy a lot more than just the activities of the night.[break][break]

Owner was sexy as hell too. Maybe Yumi Hasegawa would be down for some entertainment later from King Magnus?[break][break]

... eh. Women like that likely didn't want anything of the like. She had a similar vibe to Summer Atreides, and even if he tried, he'd bark up a tree more thna likely. But who knows. Maybe he'd get lucky?[break][break]

However, he promised to be Lani's date, so he had to muzzle himself a little when it came to that. So here they are, while she squeezes his arm, he just turns his head, those red contacts in his eyes to her sapphires as she asked where to go first.[break][break]

He kept his voice the same. He reined his libido in, just a little. "Wouldn't mind a drink there, princess. Maybe then I'll be a bit hands-on-" his arm moves around her waist to her hip, a squeeze. "-with some games?" At least he COULD rein it in.

He hadn't planned to go, aware that he would be toeing the line between his personal and his Rocket life if he did but! When an invitation arrived in the mail, and he vlogged about getting such a coveted invite, his followers urges him to. If only to get the inside scoop as to what's inside. [break][break]

Thank the Gods for that excuse. The theme is midsummer night's dream and he picks something easy to pull off. Colorful, like any fae would be, with little horns attached to the side of his head and a carefully fluffed matching, short tail on his butt. The fluffy cropped shawl on his shoulder helped give off more the impression of SHEEP than GOAT but fae were would like that right? He could still count as a satyr right? Riiight? [break][break]

He arrived fashionably late, stepping through the entrance and into a luxe building, taking in the party. The noise of slot machines and people cheering or groaning as they won and lost their coveted chips created a dull roar of noise, electric with anticipation. After all, it was supposed to get way better as the night progressed right? [break][break]

Dressed for the stuffiness of the party and the hot summer night, Mint had adorned himself ins lightly colored fabrics hanging loose around his arms and legs but cinched tightly around his hip. The softest perfume of magnolias and maybe a hint of fresh linen wafted around him, matching perfectly the silk flowers that adored his outfit. Soft, simple flats ( with damn good insoles ) had been prepped for a long, loong night of being on his feet. [break][break]

As he descends the stairs, Mint's pale eyes do a scan of the crowd before locking onto the host of tonight's festivities. What kind of guest would he be if he didn't introduce himself, and thank her before going about his business? [break][break]

He steps right up to the tables she and a few other guests were standing at and takes a moment to toss the dice. He looks away from Yumi Hasegawa and the man she's with ( mitchel kane ) for just a second before looking back and she's gone. "Oh- where'd she..." he yelped, eyes on mitchel kane for a moment before he breaks into a smile anyway. "Sorry." he said, smoothing his words out. "Meant to catch the host before I forgot." he explained Looking over at the dice he'd tossed to see what he'd won, if anything, picking up his winning chip before looking back. "So how'd you get in?" A cream and brown colored Swirlix stands under the table, sniffing at the stranger as well as other various guests trying to see who had brought candy or mints in their clutches. [break][break]

[break][break][break][break]

Naia wasn't much of a gambler nor was she much for the night life and parties, which begged the question on why she was even at this sort of event to begin with? First and foremost she didn't attend alone, both her mother and father were dresses to the nines to the point of standing out while Naia on the other hand decided to go for a less flashy and far more modest approach. Well apart for her mother's addition with a slit in her dress so high up it nearly reached her hip.

[break][break]Naia wasn't used to wearing light coloured clothing, even if it did have a skirt that faded into a dark night sky, the majority of it was still white and slight purple in colour. Meaning that it could get stained pretty easily, another worry on her mind in addition to all of the loose jewelry on her. The dress had so many dangling pieces of gold and gems and even the skirt where some of the stars were had gems imbedded into it. The dress just felt like a burden from how overkill it was.

[break][break]Still it was all a small compromise to what her mother would typically try to force her into, always bickering about how 'You'll only be able to catch a man if you show yourself off' a rant she no longer had to hear anymore thank to Remiel. For better or for worse, her mother was more occupied with Naia's appearance and-- as Naia would look down at her hand to her engagement ring for her fake engagement-- making sure her daughter was properly showing people she was already sold.

[break][break]Once the speech was over her mother instantly left her side, most likely to find potential business partners among the mass of people, Naia grew increasingly uncomfortable in her own skin. Arms crossed under her chest as she bashfully tried to hide the sight of her arms through the light and see through fabric as well as her ring she typically hid under gloves. The worse part is that she couldn't escape quickly to a quite corner of the casino, the length of her dress would be a serious tripping hazard even with her gathering some of it in her hands. Especially if she gathered any more of it she'd just open the slit more resulting in.. the worse case scenario.

[break][break]Breathe.

[break][break]Looking around for her escape she managed to catch wind of a familiar voice, even if they were wearing a mask she could recognize them any where. Hitoshi Inoue was the last person she wanted to get stuck with, while he wasn't unkind in any way his constant rambling tired her out and she definitely not make it through the night. So quickly making a beeline away she gave her silent apologizes to the man he was sitting with, Gwyar Wledig .

[break][break]The place was crowded, loud and very hot; it was for that very reason why she decided that perhaps she should go over to the bar and get herself something to drink. Admittedly Naia had never been to one before, her life was constantly booked with school work, jobs, and now Rocket assignments that date nights were never a think and alcohol didn't really appeal to her, but even so, she knew she was going to need to get SOMETHING to drink at this point.

[break][break]"C-Could I get so-something refreshing..?"

[break][break]Naia's mind was racing, since she never had ordered anything like this before she didn't know if it was inappropriate to just ask for water. Or that there were specific drinks you had to ask for, was she doing this all wrong? Was she supposed to pay first? All the while she was having mental warfare on herself, the couple near by ( Leilani Reinhardt & Jack Magnus ) didn't completely go on noticed.

[break][break]"Wait, does this have an--"

[break][break]Just as her glass was pushed in front of her and she was about to ask if it was alcoholic or not, it seemed that Naia was far too close to their peak of outwardly and openly flirtatious affection, taking note of his hand squeezing the other woman's hips. Instantly she became uncomfortable and rather than pursuing the matter any further she'd just quickly slap down a large bill onto the counter and took off with her drink and a quick,

[break][break]"Thank you!"

[break][break]Where was she supposed to go to next? Thus far she hadn't found any friends from Rocket and with the amount of people around she was starting to think that maybe it was better to go somewhere quiet or playing some games by herself then deal with the social pressure of it all. It was when she was passing by did she notice Elise Calcifet or more specifically her family crest she wore, subconsciously causing Naia to nervously twirl her ring as she seriously considered taking it off.

[break][break]"U-um.."

[break][break]She begun to speak without thinking, a second of panic showing on her face as she'd bring her glass closer to her lips, but not taking a sip instead almost using it as a shield between her and the two, Elise and Mirabella Fontaine .

[break][break]"H-How.. have.. the slots been?"

[break][break]There was a bit of a pause, her shoulders raising up as she was starting to turtle a bit before continuing.

[break][break]"I mean.. an-any good luck for.. you two?"

[break][break]Then she'd take a sip, her eyes averting away. Yup, it burns.

The explanations jade rivers and Josh Devlin both gave for their respective outfits would be met with thoughtful nods, and a gentle chuckle at Jade's compliment. "Oh, thank you," Although, Makoto's eyes would end up resting on Josh in particular. Namely, because of how things were adding up in their head - between both the mention of Raikou, and the voice of this mysterious knight.

There was only one person that was particularly known for their fascination for Raikou, after all; and Makoto had plenty seen it for themself, in having even visited Josh's Secret Base once upon a time.

Makoto couldn't help but take pause at this realization, though - especially given the last time that they had run into the gym leader wasn't under the friendliest circumstances (even if they weren't necessarily worried about being recognized.) On top of that, they couldn't help but wonder what a gym leader was doing here in Sootopolis - which was essentially Rocket territory - during a time where it seemed that Rocket's aggression towards League was increasing. Surely, they weren't the only one who was able to put two and two together, right?

The sound of another chip hitting the table would jolt Makoto from their thoughts, though - and quick to play off them spacing out, by waving down a passing waiter for a non-alcoholic drink. With that, they'd turn their attentions back to their cards - forcing a poker face, both to avoid giving any tells to their hand, and to avoid showing the thoughts that were brewing in their head.

But as they studied their cards, Makoto would soon speak. "They certainly spared no expenses in this re-opening, I must say." They spoke to the two, casting a glance to the decor to convey their point. Chuckling, the masked rocket added "I wasn't sure how long I'd end up mingling here for - but at this rate, I may end up staying the whole night."

Although as far as things were going with this game... They, admittedly, hadn't played much poker before - if at all. They could only hope that the cards would be in their favor, ultimately.

Tsukiko, meanwhile, wagged her tails at Janus' warm reception - giving a playful introduction of her own as she sniffed him. Once satisfied though, she'd go straight into play - lightly nipping at him, and placing her paws against him, as if to try and playwrestle!

TLDR/NOTES:
- Makoto is dressed in a black Victorian-style dress with lace + a black-purple glittery masquerade mask, with purple lipstick and extensions for a shoulder-blades long braid. Kuro is hidden in their shadow, using illusions to give them lifelike dark fairy wings.
- They appreciate Jade's compliment!
- Though, Josh ends up holding their attention the most, as they are able to put 2 + 2 together to identify and recognize him
- They're a little caught off-guard by the realization - both due to remembering their previous encounter during the Dewford Battle, and due to the fact he's basically in the middle of enemy territory.
- Waves down a waiter for a drink + puts on a poker face to cover up their reactions (Prompt: Order a drink)
- Muses over the extravagant decor set up for the grand re-opening, mentions they might end up staying for longer than they initially intended (Prompt: Discuss the grand re-opening)
- They got very little experience with poker, is just kinda hoping the cards will go in their favor.
- Tsukiko introduces herself + sniffs Janus. Starts trying to play with him with light nips + trying to playwrestle

Then she noticed somebody was speaking to her, so she turned around eagerly wondering if --[break][break]
"Oh, hello Cillian," Nomi said to Cillian Quinn, with only a small measure of disappointment. Maybe Parker had bailed last second, deciding she didn't want to go to some dumb fancy party with Nomi after all. Nomi's stomach churned at the thought, but she pushed it aside.[break][break]
"You look great," she commented, smiling at the Underboss. "And yes - I just won, actually. I guess it's beginner's luck. I've never really gambled before."[break][break]
Something occurred to Nomi: if she hung out with Cillian, Parker might not be so inclined to join her...Parker and Cillian hadn't exactly had a positive first interaction with one another, after all. As much as she would enjoy hanging out with him, she ought to politely excuse herself if she wanted to maximize her chances of finding her date (was it a date??).[break][break]
"Apologies, but I'm going to find out where the restroom is now," she explained to him, nodding politely. "I'll catch you and Temp later, hopefully." Cillian's husband was engaged with someone else at the moment, but she spotted him easily - he was the sort of man who was hard to miss, even in a crowd.[break][break]
Nomi hurried off in search of the bathroom, even though she didn't really need to use it. It was just an excuse to try and find parker jones.

⬥TLDR:

Nomi briefly speaks with Cillian but escapes to look for Parker; she realizes Parker might not want to approach her if she's with the man who recently tortured the other woman...oops! Sorry Cill ;_;

Looking towards the female voice that asked her if she was enjoying herself on the slot machine when Elise takes the gachapon ticket won from the slot machine, she gave her a reply as the red-headed woman sat down in front of her at another slot machine. “I’m enjoying myself at giving gambling a shot even if I had not been to casinos for a long while.” The woman listens to the other saying that she would apologize for not using the correct title and complimented the royal’s choice of dress where she asked if the crest on the banner was the Calcifet family’s. “It’s the family crest of the Calcifet royal family, yes. Thank you for the wonderful compliment over my dress, I think yours is lovely too.”[break][break]

Another newer person steps forward to greet her and the red-headed woman with a very beautiful dress on though her words appear to stammer into sentences of social awkwardness, something that Elise could relate to. “I have won a gachapon ticket out of it, so my luck at the slots is not too terrible.” The princess gave a small smile to the rather timid young grey-haired woman though her words had a hint of nervousness. “And please pardon my lateness in introducing my name…and that I am not so good with newer people. My name is Elise Calcifet, a pleasure to be meeting you both.”

Parties were not something that Jayden found himself in regular attendance with. In fact, it was almost devastatingly the opposite. He much liked spaces that were not loud nor crowded, and would have much preferred an evening home alone with fern delaney than... whatever this was.

[break][break] But saying no to fern delaney was no longer an option. Not that it ever was, but especially not when they'd looked at him with eyes so beaming and full of mischief — he'd been unable to say no.

[break][break] Plus - at least he convinced himself - this was for Rocket. He had supported the casino at it's original opening underneath Killian Decker , so there was no reason as to not support it under new management. Even though he didn't particularly know Yumi Hasegawa well, outside of the fact that they seemed to spend a lot of time near Fern. (Maybe too much?)

[break][break] Jayden planned to attend, but he planned to attend in a simple suit. Clean cut and proper, like the same one that he had worn to the Soiree over a year ago. Or maybe something a tad flashier, like the one he had worn to the masquerade.

[break][break] But Fern was Admin of forgery and counterfeit for a reason, and owner of Circinus & Sagitta. It would have not done well to appear in just anything, and Jayden was remiss to do anything that would shame his counterpart as such.

[break][break] When they push the outfit into his hands, before whisking away with some excuse that they have to go meet Yumi Hasegawa , Jayden has no choice but to comply. Just as he has no choice to comply when mint frost draws upon his face with glitter and makeup to go with his 'extra special' outfit. He's just a pawn in their schemes.

[break][break] That evening, Jayden appears.

[break][break] The Rocket Admin, who is normally dressed in the most mundane clothing imaginable, was dressed to the nines in his costume of choice for the evening. A coiffed collar around his neck with a sweeping black cape to match the fae-theme, and a crown of golden thorns upon his head. He wore a dark black shirt whose collar was threaded in a butterfly-like pattern, steel gold wings attached to his back, and black leather pants that hugged him far too tightly. Yellow and slate-colored glitter dazzle upon his cheek and neck, as if doused in gold, with a bruised eyeliner and eyeshadow to match. Obsidan black rings sat upon several of his fingertips, as well as an astrological golden ear piece dangling from a pointed ear to match his golden crown.

[break][break] Awkwardness filled his expression as he scanned the crowd for anyone he sought to be familiar - hopefully fern delaney - but when he saw neither them or mint frost, quietness fell upon him. It was only when his shiny Umbreon, Lada, bumped upon his knee that he felt a semblance of comfort, digging his fingertips into the top of her head.

[break][break] He spotted Cillian Quinn and Tempest Quinn from a distance, and wondered if he should strike up a conversation, before they were swarmed by several others. His gaze falls upon others in the room, before someone - Naomi Sato - nearly steps into him.

[break][break] "Nomi? Are you - " His words fall upon the chaos of the room, suffocated into silence, and watches as she scurries past him towards the bathroom. "Okay...?"

[break][break] Before he knows it, he's alone again. Jayden frowns, looking around the room, wondering if he should try the gambling machines.

A party at a casino? Count Jasmine in. It sounded like a great excuse for her to drink and play some games. Maybe she'd leave with another person on her arm tonight. Her date surely wouldn't mind, right?[break][break]

She sauntered in with a bright grin, looking around. The air was fun and vibrant, buzzing with excitement. She felt like she matched the vibes too, with the flowers delicately placed around her dress. Pastels were the color of choice for Jasmine, her wings matching. She wore an intricate, golden head piece as well, just to make herself stand out.[break][break]

"Let's go get a drink," she told her date, walking toward the bar.[break][break]

"Anything fruity, please. Make it strong," she said with a wink. The drink was brightly colored, and the alcohol taste was certainly masked by the fruit taste. Perfect.[break][break]

"Should we try a game or two?" she asked. But before she could go anywhere, she spotted them.[break][break]

Breaking into an even giddier grin, Jazz almost took off without her date, grabbing him by the arm and running in her four inch heels. "Laaani! Maggie! You fuckers, why didn't you say something about coming here? We could've ridden together!"

Mirabella's zorua lied down near her feets. Yumi playfully mumbled on her mate's ear as their could careless anything the humans were chatting about. All just bored nonsense! Hmm. The woman on the hold a rather interesting conversation had begun after she had grow her prize. All she had gotten was berry but a rare at that. She'll find a use for it. "Please, the pleasure is mine. I'm Mirabelle Bernadette Fontaine. It's an honor meet a fellow royal even in place such as thing. Ah. I see we have new company. Welcome. Welcome!" [break][break]

She eyed their new company she knew the stern look of a bus woman when she saw it. Or maybe it was something else. Regardless she keep a smile. Three a crowd or so the saying goes. "I had obtain a Salac berry. One of my favorite kind. They known to have quite a sweet and sour taste. Some even say its favorite snack of Rayquaza due long ago having power of the sky. I don't know about that though. I'd say the slot machines are rather generous tonight. Why not give a try?" [break][break] Mirabella chuckled softly reached into her purse and offering Naia a coin for the machine. If she got as hooked as she was on gacha then could be looking up. One of her foxes snorted making Mirabella looked overlook and she saw Jack Magnus . Or least she thought that was him. It had to be! She couldn't forget those eyes so easily. He seemed busy with a new girl. She recalled their brief moment at mauville city and now it seems he was off to the next thing. Tender moments were always so fitting. Past remained in the past. [break][break] Mirabella slowly returned attention her gaze to the girls and the conversation. "Casinos aren't here aren't like the one in kalos or I have been told. However the grand reopening of this one shows a lot of promise wouldn't you say least by the turn out."

[break][break][break][break]

After taking that drink Naia's face would instantly scrunch up, the bitter taste something she wasn't expecting along with.. burning? Is this why people say that alcohol warms you up?

[break][break]“I have won a gachapon ticket out of it, so my luck at the slots is not too terrible.”

[break][break]Naia's face would attempt to soften up at Elise's voice, her eyes darting from the princess's face down to the slot machine and back to her. Any social suave person would perhaps expand on that, maybe compliment her luck but Naia found herself lost for words, In truth all of the conversations she wanted to ask wouldn't be appropriate. Or more accurately dangerous.

[break][break]“And please pardon my lateness in introducing my name…and that I am not so good with newer people. My name is Elise Calcifet, a pleasure to be meeting you both.”

[break][break]"Please, pleasure is mine. I'm Mirabelle Bernadette Fontaine. It's an honor meet a fellow royal even in place such as thing. Ah. I see we new company."

[break][break]Naia would tense up when they begun to introduce themselves, a tinge of guilt after she had realized she forgot one of the most basic and important things a person needed to do--especially in business. All she needed was to just say something however the growing anxiety she felt at the idea of her mother finding out sealed her lips shut, however all wasn't lost as Mirabella kept a conversation going.

[break][break]"I had obtain Salac berry. One of my favorite kind. They known to have a quite sweet and sour taste. Some even say its favorite snack of Rayquaza due long ago having power of the sky but I don't know about that. I'd the slot machines are rather generous tonight. Why not give a try?"

[break][break]She knew how to talk, honestly they both did, poise and elegance flowed through their every word and the very fact alone made Naia even more tense. Even more so when Naia's grip on her drink would intensify even further as Mirabella even offered her a coin from her purse. It was truly a kind gesture but did Naia take it? Was it rude to push it away?

[break][break]It was a second that felt like eternity for Naia before she eventually cave and meekly make her way over to the woman in red, taking the coin from her. It was good that she became preoccupied with something else in the crowd as the expression on Naia's face twisted into one of confusion. Was this really all it cost to use this machine? She thought it would have been more.

[break][break]"Thank you.."

[break][break]Naia would make her way over to a seat, choosing to sit beside her main target for the night, Elise, and thus sandwiching between the two women now. It was when she slid the coin in what looked to be the right slot did she look over to the both, her ears slightly turning red.

[break][break]"Oh.. I-I'm Naia.. Kayode.. My apologies.. For the late introduction. It's.. a pleasure to meet you both.."

[break][break]She felt a bit calmer sitting down, less exposed to the outside world and so with a far less of a noticeable stutter to her voice, instead she spoke with a slow cadence. Though in part some of it was hesitation, especially when it came to giving her last name.

[break][break]"Casinos aren't here aren't like the one in kalos or I have been told. However the grand reopening of this one shows a lot of promise wouldn't you say least by the turn out."

[break][break]While the woman spoke, Naia curiously looked over the machine, her eyes peering out across the floor to witness how others have used it before attempting to pull down the lever herself. The loud sound from the machine made her jump, and without wanting to draw too much attention to herself, she'd take the bullet and take another drink.

[break][break] CMtdjvw8

[break][break]"Ho-Honestly.. I don't normally attend.. casinos in general. My family have been excited for the grand reopening.. I wasn't expecting something to this scale.. it's extravagant.. I guess I can't help but look forward to it's future."

[break][break]Especially for Rocket, they seemed happy to get it back and running, but that didn't need to be said. Once Naia looked back at her machine she couldn't help but nervously laugh.

[break][break]"I don't know.. if this means I lucked out or not."

"I'm on duty." Hitoshi says this with a solemn nod. For once, he has all the dignity of a samurai. Fey-wolf of the wilds he may be, but he knows his duty. Luckily, everyone seems to be behaving themselves. There's no trouble - and he is far from the only beast roaming these lands.[break][break]"Sooooo, I can't drink. But, I'll take some milk. Gotta keep drinkin' the stuff up if I wanna grow up tall n 'strong."[break][break]As he always does around most people taller than himself, he's standing on his tip-toes. Thanks to the hefty boots he's wearing, it makes him look a fair bit taller. The boots he's wearing are one of the only points of this dress code he wouldn't budge on. A swordsman's boots are second only to his sword in terms of importance. If he's going to open the throats of anyone who dares to tread upon his boss's holy ground, he damn sure isn't going to do it in dress shoes.[break][break]"Here, watch this, Master!" He says. Any connotations that could be read between a small man in a wolf's mask calling a much taller, bulkier man 'master' are lost on him. Pointing a dramatic, gloved hand at the roulette wheel, he makes a bold declaration.[break][break]"One pokedollar on black 13!"[break][break]The dealer laughs and drops the ball. It spins, spins, and spins some more. When it finally comes to rest, where is it if not unlucky number 13, colored black. Cheering, Hitoshi takes his payout and hands the meager sum to the blonde.[break][break]"Guess drinks're on me!" If this dog wasn't stupid, his intuition would break the bank.

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]BUT HOLD YOUR BREATH, GUESS WHO'S RUNNING THE SHOW?

[attr="class","skullbody"]Isaac hadn't exactly been in a celebratory mood lately. But Naia Kayode was currently having trouble stringing two letters together, and the party had literally just started. So, fuck it. He might as well hit this party up after all.[break][break]

Maybe it was for the best. He'd worked hard on getting just the right costume for the occasion, and it'd be a bummer if he wasted it just because of some bad vibes. Looking like the surprisingly stylish fusion dance of Dracula and the mighty Monarch, Isaac checked his stresses at the door and made his way inside.[break][break]

He'd been to Casino Starlight before, and it was ironic. Last time he was here, he and Remiel Calcifet had discussed the man's final doubts with Rocket coming to a head. Now, he was the one considering what it meant to be nearing the end of his rope. Were it not for the SPECTRA trials coming up . . .[break][break]

Ugh. No. Vibes at the door, damnit. Even as equal parts nostalgia and worry swirled through his mind, Isaac kept up a protective smile to shield his thoughts from the crowd. A nod here, a small wave there. Isaac knew plenty of people, and plenty of people knew of Isaac. Those who didn't were still, between the atmosphere, the energy, and some liquid courage, far more sociable than usual. It was like the Masquerade all over again, but with slightly less hidden identities.[break][break]

The Hoenn of today wasn't nearly as in the dark as the one from half a year ago.[break][break]

Ugh. Maybe it'd be easier if he loosened himself up a little. Isaac picked an option off the menu at complete random, something that ended up having four types of tropical juice and five types of rum, and accepted it with a generous tip. Shit, that was strong. And shit, that was good. Yeah, that was exactly he needed for tonight.[break][break]

Given a shot of much-needed confidence, he decided to break in the new casino the one way he knew how. He confidently strode up to the nearest slot machine, giving the old one-armed bandit a solid tug. Maybe, if the reels lined up just right, the rest of his fortunes would follow.[break][break]

Selena Desmarais, Aurelie Lefevre, and 1 more like this

Scotch on the rocks, pinot noir, sangria, champagne... Fucks sake, man. The party's just barely getting started, and you're already getting overloaded with orders. What, are there no other bartenders on call? The management could afford all these empty-faced goons to play cards and push roulette wheels, but not to pour drinks? What a pain in the ass...

Tch. Oh well. Nothing to do but do it, you suppose.

So, with a barely disguised sigh of contempt, you crouch down below the bar once more, grabbing a selection of bottles, cans, and glasses. You weren’t afforded much in the way of formal training, but that’s hardly much of a bother for you. How hard can it be to pour liquids into cups?

First, for Cillian Quinn. Scotch on the rocks, or as normal people call it, a whiskey with ice in it. Simple enough. You pour the requested drink into one of those stout, bottom-heavy glasses that whiskey always seems to be poured into, before reaching a hand into a bucket of ice and palming a few cubes in. Bam. Done. Except, well, not quite, because for some Arceus-forsaken reason, your job also entails making small talk, too. Fucks sake. Just say some bullshit to blunt his curiosity, and send him on his way.

”I’m a bartender, sir.” You dryly reply, wringing as much emotion as possible from your voice. What kind of nitwit goes around announcing their criminal affiliations to service staff? You’re not one of those weirdos who wears a bright red “R” on your clothing. No, stupid as you may be, you’re not that stupid. ”I serve drinks, and here’s yours. Cheers.”

With that joyless expression of mirth, you slide his drink over to him, and turn your attention to the next order.

A Desmary’s Pinot Noir… Winemakers didn’t deserve rights, and so called wine “connoisseurs” deserved even less. You think it should be legal for you to murder Selena Desmarais for making such a specific request, but alas, society hasn’t caught up to your radical ideas to rebalance the service industry. Even worse, for some reason, they actually stock this dogwater, which means you’re obligated to serve it to them. Holding back the urge to curse the heavens yet again, you pour the Pinot Noir into a wine glass, before serving it up.

The next order after that, a sangria… Nnn… The temptation to leap over the table and beat the everloving shit out of Alba Evovae is so, so palpable. Your teeth are grit so hard they’re liable to shatter. But, you’ll serve him his drink, alright. You duck in the backroom for but a minute, and when you come back, you’ve got a glass full of red wine, a few grapes, a roughly sliced apple, a few chunks of orange peel, and just a smidge of venomous spines, courtesy of Cacturne and their Poison Sting. Not enough to be lethal. Just enough to be both hard to spot and unpleasant in equal measure. The journey of a thousand steps starts today. You’re going to begin advertising your reinvention of the service industry today, and it starts with you serving this deathtrap of a drink to the dickhead who dared ask for it.

”Here, your sangria. _{I hope you choke on it, bastard}.”

And after that, champagne. You wouldn’t quite call it festive, but you would call it easy. So, without so much as a word of complaint, you pour it into a flute and serve it Aurelie Lefevre, content with a job well… well, a job done.

”Bone apple tea, madame.”

And last, but certainly not least, a cold can of beer, which you proceed to crack open and take a long, long drink of. Hell knows you’ll need it, because this seems like it’s going to be a very long and very irritating shift.

PROMPT: Order a drink at the bar (it can be non-alcoholic). REWARD: 1X Level Tutor
PROMPT: Strike up a conversation with someone your character hasn't met before. REWARD: 1X Ability Capsule

"Ayy! Not bad!"[break][break]

A hand snakes out of the crowd and claps sven korolev on the shoulder a bit too hard. The person attached to it, athena oswald , grins over at him as she moves towards the slots, ready to try her own hand at the game.[break][break]

Under the dazzling lights of the reopened casino, the young trainer is almost unrecognizable. Athena isn't the type to dress up, not really. But spoiling a party is an even bigger faux pas, so she can suck it up for one night. Besides, she cleans up spectacularily well.[break][break]

They don't much care for the look of a delicate fae, but their visage is still rather striking. Instead of pastels and florals, Athena drips orange and red, with a golden breastplate and wings reminicent of a rising phoenix. A crown of gilded laurels sits upon thick brown curls, and their skirt- fluttering red and gold chiffon inlaid with sparkling rhinestones- gives the impression of a crackling fire.[break][break]

But you can't separate the outfit from the person, and Athena doesn't strike the most regal of figures as she continues to grin and harass this poor guy.[break][break]

"My turn next! Hang on, hang on— don't go anywhere! Lemme see what I get. If it's good, I'll getcha a drink!"[break][break]

[break][break]

There's a beat of silence, and then a resounding cheer.[break][break]

"Fuck yes! Hah!"[break][break]

It's not the best prize, but it's exhilirating just to have won something. Athena grabs her new friend (or hostage, more like) by the arm and squeezes this side of too tight.[break][break]

"S'not bad, right? Fuck, I can see why people get addicted to this kinda thing. Dunno if I could ever hang around a schmaltzy place like this for too long, but it's pretty nice."[break][break]

They take a quick look around and let out a low whistle. "Yeaaaaaah, damn. Super nice. Didn't really know what to expect when I heard the casino was reopening, but I'm glad I stopped by!"
