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.

[ 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.

[linearcrash]

What's so great about him anyways?

[ Sounds like he might know him ]

[streetwolf]

Guy just appeared out of nowhere one day. Took out a crime lord in a month. Then took out fifty of another's guys all on his own later. Made a legend for himself. But he's got some shit to do.

[Wayne can't really be too upset by Rose's choice, given that Leo trained him and everything.]

[linearcrash]

[ Nine is more impressed by the fifty guys thing than taking out a crime lord in a month. ]

Sounds like you're pretty impressed with him, yo.

[streetwolf]

Tch- [There's a snort, eye-roll and near choke all at once.]

Hell no! He's an asshole, hope he doesn't come back.

[DENY EVERYTHING]

[linearcrash]

Huh? You were just talking him up a moment ago, yo. [ Don't make it all complicated. ] How about this...confess anyways. If she says no, you can move the hell on to someone else.

[streetwolf]

No. I was just telling you what the others back there are saying. [He snorts but the confess bit makes him stop.]

...Can't do that. It'd just make things weird.

[linearcrash]

You're making it a whole lot more complicated than it is, yo.

[ But he's going to be snagging another piece of bread for that. ]

If you're that worried, I can teach you.

[ Want love advice from someone who steals your bread ]
