Any links to regular logs or action logs can go here if they fall under the first three nights. Also, if you really want, you can start a general open log here as well over a table game or a socialization at the bar or... etc, you get the idea c:

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.

[Night 1] [Bar inside the casino] [Open!] gunsight May 31 2009, 16:24:28 UTC
[The bar was a small affair, tucked away on one of the lower floors. Perhaps that was why it was relatively empty - or perhaps it was still early. No matter. Tseng wasn't in the mood to face any crowds.]

[Tseng wasn't in the mood to face Reno either, but that had been a relatively recent development. A product of their latest exchange, which had likely been a product of the last exchange before that, and before that... Tseng couldn't recall a time when the morale and the solidarity of the Turks had been so low. He couldn't recall a time when his morale had been quite so low.]

[The seat next to Reno was vacant, and Tseng took it without acknowledgment, let alone a by-your-leave. He hesitated only briefly before ordering a cognac - one of Rufus' preferred liquours, he recalled, on nights when things were a little slower, when the stress of the job seemed to be a distant thing. And still he said nothing, leaving it to Reno to break the silence or keep it as he would.]

[It isn't unexpected that Reno would end up in one of the bars as soon as they appeared. Considering his mood lately, it had convenient timing. And to find out that Caim and the other Magisters aren't responsible for it, means he didn't have to worry about thanking them for their generosity.

He can use the break. Usually trying to not die (again) took up most of his free time considering how much the city likes to screw him over. Every plan he's made to change that usually ends... badly. It was never any fault of his, just his luck. It doesn't usually stop him. But after his last effort, he's not in the mood for picking up any more overtime.

Reno sees Tseng sit down from the corner of his eye. Maybe it was out of line snapping the Director. If he wants to lecture him, he can have it. He has enough alcohol in him to tolerate almost anything right now. But when he doesn't say anything, Reno half-turns to look at him.]

Just you? ...I guess that means Elena still has Rude busy.

[Or the other way around. Probably best for him. Tseng ( ... )

[Lecture? What's the point? It's not as though he's signing their pay cheques. He snorts quietly into his glass.]

Elena is on her way, I believe. But she did mention that she was busy building explosives.

[His voice is level and polite, but distant. He still hasn't figured out what he wants to do. The unity of the Turks, their ability to function as a unit is his personal responsibility as director. He feels - no, he knows that he's failed when they start falling apart like this. And for the first time in years he wishes that Veld were here. Or that he had even a fraction of Veld's charisma.]

[But perhaps that's the very point. What are Turks, in this place? There is no President. They have no orders. No common goal. They don't even have money, to keep them together.]

Perhaps we should disband.

[He says it lightly, conversationally.]

NIGHT IV absolute_npc May 30 2009, 14:59:22 UTC
Any links to regular logs or action logs can go here if they fall under the fourth night. Also, you can start a general open log here.

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.

NIGHT IV | POKER TOURNAMENT - OPEN 7livesleft June 3 2009, 18:48:45 UTC
[Spike sits at one of the many tables bordering the edge of the casino. He's spent a lot of time there the past couple of nights, winning his fair share of borrowed money. Enough to keep his bar tab open, which is about all it's good for. To him, anyway.

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.]

[ it's almost impressive the way he manages to look disheveled even in a nice suit. it's probably the empty sleeve fluttering at his side and the loose tie that does it -- that and the tangles of dark flyaway hair. looking neat's never been his thing.

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 ]

[There's one face he doesn't expect to see. Spike doesn't say anything, but he shakes his head lightly. To think Spike had trouble getting in the first time. Maybe Namae bribed them. Should have thought of that.

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.

NIGHT IV (side-plot) absolute_npc May 30 2009, 15:02:01 UTC
Open log thread for the side-plot, if your characters want to get involved. This is the beginning!

Just start this as a general open log would be, but there will be NPC posts along the way to drop clues/hints/whatever to progress it along into some kind of mystery adventure if anyone is interested!

[Sasuke knew that whatever choice he was making, he was going to end up regretting it at some point. It was a casino, and it was unlike any casino he'd ever seen before. He'd only been in small towns with tiny gambling areas. One's like this were almost a myth.

Suits like the one he was wearing pissed him off; stuffy and stiff. Security had been thorough with their search and made sure to remove all of his weapons. He was weaponless in a new place, and that made him more uncomfortable than his suit.

He sneered slightly as he passed Rhode and Azmeth. He recognized Rhode from somewhere, but the one she was with...they seemed more familiar than they should have. While Sasuke didn't get close to any of the others who'd landed in Nuadoria, he did pride himself in knowing most of their names and faces.

He'd find out eventually though. No need to bother them when they seemed to be going somewhere.]
