In particular, there's probably a rather grand Texas Hold 'Em game in session tonight. If your character's going to try and win big, here would be the place to do it.
Links can also be anything that happens in the entertainment district or even if you happen to do a log that has your character specifically not going.

Entering a poker tournament might not be keeping a low profile, but he considers it a good way to get to know people. Maybe a few who can tip him off. Although so far, most of what he's seen is a lot of unfamiliar faces. Spike never knew the city had this many people to start with. They seem local. Must have been hiding all this time.
He leans over the table, keeping a close eye on the cards as they're dealt. Winning tends to get attention, and the chips he's collecting beside him already raised some tension with the other players. He grins at the dealer just as she finishes. Even if it all turns out to be a dream, might as well enjoy it.]

still, he looks satisfied enough as he saunters through the casino, cigarette clamped in lips, suit pockets clacking with chips. he'd had a good run at the blackjack table (cardcounting was tedious but he'd had plenty of time to practice back during his cushier days) and it had grown boring -- time to look for something new to entertain himself with.
and he's leering at the slot machines, wondering if they'll be any good, when he catches sight of a familiar figure. oh hey. it's that guy, from the fight. immediately, he veers towards the poker table without a second thought, pulling out an empty seat (diagonally across from spike) and slumping across it, joining in as the new round begins ]

After the cards are in front of him, he watches the chips get thrown in. When it comes to his turn, he raises the bet to triple what it was, then he glances across the table.]
I didn't think you'd be much of a poker player.
Reply
he doesn't so much as look up when spike triples the bet, but when his turn comes around, he does double it from what it was, and then quirk an eyebrow at spike, speaking in a pseudo-sweet voice that comes out more like a croon ]
didn't your mother ever tell you not to judge a book by its cover?

[Spike smirks and keeps on airs of being engrossed in the game. The dealer turns over a Queen, King, and a Seven... Another turn of betting, and Spike raises again even before he looks at his cards.
Besides some mumbling, nobody else offers conversation. Serious group. He eyes Namae again, curious to see his bet.]
Have you been here long?

Anyway, he's been at this table for a few minutes now (game's just started)- what's a little poker to start off the night? Mukuro surveys his hand. Workable. He looks up, interrupting the conversation to call and raise, and, oh, maybe jump into that conversation there. ]
Have you?

[Poking her head in.] So who's winning?

[ queen king seven. eh, raising too much tends to discourage other people and that's not much fun. when it's his turn, he only calls, the chips piling haphazardly before him.
though he does look up to glare at the smiling motherfucker, because he recognizes that voice. little son of a bitch, exactly the type that he hates. -- still, it's a little early to get thrown out. casting only a cursory glance towards the new girl, he leans back into his seat, idly watching the other people's bets ]

Third night in a row.
[The last two were enough to give him a decent amount of playing money. He watches another Queen get turned over and tries to catch a reaction from Namae as he waits for the round to go around again. If he's able to stay in long enough, this might be slightly vindicating.
Spike looks over his shoulder at the blond woman and raises the bet.]
Game's just started.

Interesting. [ He smiles some more, for what looks like no particular reason at all, and waits for the next move. It's not like he had much money to spend in the first place, but after all that trouble he went through to acquire some-- well, it isn't as if he'll need it later on. ]

So... Anything exciting happen yet? Anyone win big? Any patrons get kicked?

Nagi-san! [Quickly lowering his voice.] ...N-no, not really.
[Before he can ask if they should turn back, Nagi smiles and he eases slightly. And he does look a lot different in a suit; it's probably been a long time since he's had one. It's something Nagi deserves to enjoy. Yeah, and if they're careful, maybe they won't even run into anyone ( ... )

what gets to nagi the most, though, is the wall of noise that hits him as they enter the premise. he's never really been to a casino before -- and though he'd been to a pachinko parlor with his wife back in tokyo on whim, this really wasn't something he was used to. the lights, the sounds, the smoke in the air -- he can tell it will probably all accumulate to a considerable headache later on.
but for now, he should probably enjoy the place as best as he can. when ganta looks to him, he laughs awkwardly. ]
Ah -- wait? Were you planning on meeting someone here?
[ nagi had been assuming not, but it's always a possibility, on second though. looking back to the casino floor, he notes the different areas -- the slot machines stacked in one area, poker and blackjack ( ... )
