April 7th - Welcome Party

[cartesio]

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.

I dunno, but it's fancy. It's better than the stuff in town.

[Wayne's plate is pretty healthy by buffet standards. Some meats hidden away there but it's mainly vegetables and some kinda pasta thing that Wayne doesn't recognize. No sweet things though.]

This stuff they've got tons of is good. [It's just garlic bread.]

[linearcrash]

[ Wow Wayne Wayne. Be a man and eat only meat and potatoes.

Or meat and bread. Speaking of, he's totally stealing the garlic bread. ]

Yeah? Don't think I saw that my first time around.

[streetwolf]

[He likes to eat healthy things. Though that's kinda hard when he doesn't know anything here.]

Apparently it's some kinda side thing. Seems a bit much for that though.

[linearcrash]

[ Don't let him steal from your plate, dude. You'll never get rid of him now.

Trying the garlic bread. ]

Oh man! This is good.

[ He might have to actually go back for a plate of just this. ]

Come on, let's find a seat.

[streetwolf]

[You fuck, he thought you were going for the main plate. You're getting growled at, and glared! He's just going to get more bread.]

I'm not sure if I want to leave food near you. You're not as bad as Charles though...

[linearcrash]

[ nomnomnom too busy eating your garlic bread. He'll answer one he swallows it down. ]

Never leave food near anyone, yo. That's the number one rule.

[streetwolf]

[You're getting a hand to the face and shoved away.]

It's on a fucking plate, in my hands. That isn't left.

[linearcrash]

[ Snickering as hes shoved away ]

Hey, think of it as like team building or something.

[ Letting your food get taken is Friendship~*~ ]

[streetwolf]

You're like those three only bigger. I'm not even sure how that's possible. How'd you do it?

[How are you reminding him of his group of 15/16 year olds?]

[linearcrash]

Huh? What three? Are we back to talking about those crazy chicks you like?

[ If there was anything on his profile... he didn't see it ]

[streetwolf]

Nah, the wild dogs. [That's on his profile though.]

Buncha kids I found a while ago. Charles is a little fucker. You have anything food, money and he'll take it without you noticing...[Just give him a moment.] I don't like crazy girls. Miss Rose is the kindest person I've ever seen! [He's not shy about the crush.]

[linearcrash]

[ Nine refuses to read ever ]

Wait... as in actual dog dogs?

[ Wayne wayne, are you one of those people who have dogs for kids? ]

That just means you should be used to it. [ Though back to that chick again. ] Have you made a move on her?

[streetwolf]

No, buncha street rats like me. Started following me round a few years back. They're good kids, just stupid.

[And that gets a splutter as he chokes at the topic change. Why you like this Nine?]

N-no. I mean I tried to tell her how great she was at cooking. But then it turned out Richard cooked it. And Leo... [He hangs his head at that, with a scowl. Crush status = unrequited.]

[linearcrash]

Like you, huh?

[ Pfft. Just going to laugh cause OMG ]

Seriously? You should just be straight with it, yo. How else would she ever look your way?

[ Never know when you'll die Wayne Wayne ]

[streetwolf]

What's that supposed to mean? [It's completely serious, he doesn't get why Nine's laughing. But then it's back to the scowling and the cringing, and awkward shuffling. Then he slumps.]

Nah... Can't exactly do that when she's with someone... But that's okay, Wouldn't expect her to like me like that. I'm happy just helping and hoping it's enough to pay her back.

[linearcrash]

Good kids, but stupid.

[ Not that Nine has any room to talk. Also Wayne is older? ]

Hey, none of that, yo. There's plenty you can offer someone. Is she serious about the guy?

[streetwolf]

I'm not as dumb as they are... [Look there's a massive difference between dumb 15/16 year olds and Wayne's 18 year old. But he doesn't deny the dumb part.]

Promised to wait for him when he got on a boat and fucked off somewhere down south and everything.

[linearcrash]

[ Well... they are probably not as dumb as Nine and he's almost 18?

but he's going to look a little surprised for a moment at the dude taking off some where ]

Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight, yo. The guy isn't even around and you haven't made a move?

[streetwolf]

What part of she promised to wait for him don't you get?

[Wayne has standards. ]

[linearcrash]

The part that she'll wait, yo. Who the hell takes off like that when anything can happen?

[ Nine is from a place where anyone can die any time. ]

[streetwolf]

[Same for Wayne.]

Cause she's in love with someone else, can't really do a damn thing about that can I?

[linearcrash]

How can you love someone who ain't there?

[ Love isn't something he actually knows. Crushes, flirting, and quick things? He gets. Actual love that isn't for Mother or his siblings? Nope. ]

There's plenty you can do. You can win her over. Get her to look your way, yo.

[streetwolf]

Wow...I thought I was sad. This is depressing. [He sighs.]

Look, even if something did happen, she'd always be waiting for someone else. That ain't fair to her. [He'd still jump off a cliff the instant she told him to though.]

[linearcrash]

[ Wayne Wayne... Don't ever do that for anyone Even though Nine would only do that for Mother. ]

There's nothing sad in doing what feels good, yo. And who knows. You could get her to forget.

[streetwolf]

Nah, I couldn't. You don't just forget a guy like that.
