[In one of the slightly seedier districts of Thor, the feed on the Guide shows what used to be a rather ritzy and fancy casino-- King's Bar and Casino in fact.]

[It's seen better days though. The windows are smashed, the glowing sign is blinking on and off and a string of criminals being led out in cuffs by the police.]

Really, I think you'd be compelled to focus on other aspects of the case. But no.

Blah blah blah tentacles. [Eye roll]

[lotusrebel]

You obviously don't know me well enough. Besides, I was hoping the case wouldn't involve people being touchy. [SIGHS.]

Okay, but you did do a good job on revealing the monetary fraud that the murderer who took the card was going to fall into. And finding out that the dice they were playing with was loaded.

[Sardonically] Should I go and grab you a shock blanket?

Easy enough, once we were presented with the right evidence. The difficult part was quelling the anger of tentacle-wielding aliens without having one's face suctioned off.

[action]

[lotusrebel]

What.

At least I got to cheat back by moving the dice around to the numbers we needed. I love irony.

Yeah, the face suctioning was something I was mildly disagreeing with.

You get to have the next one if you want!

Re: [Video]

[holmes_blogger]

Hmm, might have to pass if there's tentacles involved.

Re: [Video]

[lotusrebel]

C'mon, if it's you and Sherlock that shouldn't stop you!

Tentacles.

[Really, other people get to have all the fun.]

Re: [video]

[lotusrebel]

They tried to perform a hands-on approach, but I wasn't going for it personally.

Re: [video]

[yes_mother_hen]

An aversion towards tentacles? Naturally.

[Sarcastically:] And were they hostile tentacles?

Re: [video]

[lotusrebel]

well, if I had to resort to mild property damage, I would have to say they were quite hostile. [Behind her, the police are lugging a very damaged wine cooler out of the way]

[sapphirearrow]

That sounds... pleasant.

[All magical girls are born knowing that tentacles are their natural enemy, capable of serving as either prey or predator depending on the situation, and as such have an instinctive tendency to pay attention to any sign or mention of them. Karen is no exception.]

[lotusrebel]

It was one hell of a party! Be glad you missed it.

[sapphirearrow]

I already am. It ended well, at least?

[lotusrebel]

Mm! Thanks to him. [Gestures at Sherlock]

I was there to just tag along.
