April 7th - Welcome Party
Welcome Party
Though you've never seen the casino before, it is easy to find today. This is partly attributable to the music spilling from open doors right into the town. The people of Cartesio have made good on their announcement - doubtlessly, there is a party going on here.
Anyone entering will be confronted with a friendly citizen pulling them aside to inform them of their dress rental service. Though it is called 'rental' there is no actual fee to be paid. The townspeople have simply brought a collection of suits and cocktail dresses into the casino foyer and they are offering to lend them out for the occasion. A folding screen to get changed behind is provided as well.
Once you venture deeper into the casino, you'll find yourself in a surprisingly spacious room. Tables that might normally occupy the open space have been pushed to the wall and filled with various buffet foods. Though you might be tempted to spend your whole afternoon trying out the various local specialties, the rhythmic music from the speakers tries to lure you to the dancefloor. A few locals are already swinging their hips to the beat.
Though if you're simply looking for the main highlight of a casino, you won't have to look long either. Across from the buffet, you will find a wide variety of game machines. Pachinko, slot machines.... even a few odd-one-out games that look like they should rather belong in an arcade. Try your luck, try your skill! If you prove successful, an employee is waiting to hand out various fun goods to you.
There are quite a few townspeople in attendance on this party, but there is a silent understanding that you tourists are the VIPs here. Anywhere you go, any game you want to try, the citizens are quick to move aside for you and let you have the maximum amount of fun.

Just like back home, Jughead's place of refuge is the diner, where he's sat himself next to the window, with view of the doors. With an order of a burger and fries and some coffee and a shake, he's ready to work.
And work he does, scrawling in his notebook after periods of thoughtful looks out of the window. Though he's pretty in the zone, he does turn to look at any customers that come in, almost as if snapped out of a trance.]

Not a party person?
no subject
[He sets down his pen next to the notebook, and curls a hand around his coffee mug instead.]
The problem is the symptom, not the cause.
no subject
Guess so. This is a bunch of strangers and a town that's trying a little too hard to be nice, it's not surprising it's not making you feel sociable. I'm not shy, but it kind of creeps me out.
[He's worried, that's all]
no subject
[The murderhorse was already out of the gate, so he can only assume that there's something deeper going on.]
Doesn't exactly make me want to mingle.
no subject
[Moloch sure wants to think nobody will, but he's not holding high hopes]
no subject
[Said with great skepticism.]
no subject
That gives us some time to prepare and think of ways to counter anything that could happen, too.
[He says, not knowing in three days there'd be a motive]
no subject
Got any ideas?
no subject
no subject
[He already knows that and already discounts it.]
no subject
Once she comes inside and spots Jughead, she walks over and taps his shoulder lightly, trying to get his attention.]
Do you mind if I sit here with you? I always find myself getting very lonely when I eat alone.
no subject
Oh- sure. [He makes a sweeping gesture to the seats at the table.] Happy to be a friend.
no subject
You know, has anyone told you that you look like the boy from those old Archie comics? The one with the funny hat that's almost identical to yours.
no subject
[Archie as in Archie Andrews? As in his friend Archie? Comics featuring his friend Archie Andrews?]
...No. I've never heard of them.
no subject
[She clears her throat.]
Though, I never really got into them. More of a SciFi fan myself.
no subject
Actually, you know what? He's not thinking about this too hard. He can do without an existential crisis.]
SciFi?
[Now they're getting to his zone.]
You ever see 2001: A Space Odyssey?
no subject
[She thinks for a moment. Onto a different title.]
What do you think of Alien?
no subject
A masterpiece of the sci-fi horror genre. Right up there with The Thing.
