[b]Los Paraisos: Parade[/b]
[i]"Hah. Some fuckin' day."[/i]

Syed laughed in return, leaning over with his hands on his knees to catch his breath and hopefully cool down a little. She was right, of course. Today, while somewhat fun overall, was already somewhat chaotic. Only really they could try and have a sit down in a cafe and end up being in the middle of parade getting chased by a small mob. "This sort of thing sure seems to follow us, doesn't it?" he grinned.

"'Ere!" Moira sauntered before them, one hand behind her back. Luckily, the mask was gone. It looked like they were a bit too fancy for the parade people to be willing to lose. "Look what I got!" She whipped out whatever object it was... one of the paddles?!

"What, they gave it you?!"

"Well, sorta."

"What do you mean sort of?!"

They were interrupted by Lucien's shout, followed by Aria's short briefing. Casino or relaxing? Well, for Moira that was an absolute no-brainer. They come all this way after all, like hell was she going to waste it relaxing! Selan seemed to agree, and Amy seemed to have the right sort of idea too, stepping into the casino entrance and looking thoroughly awed.

[i]"Uh... yeah. Let's... definitely search this place."[/i]

"Well, I'd like to... rinse off a bit first." Syed cringled a little apologetically, holding his arms out to emphisise his point. "And I think a lot of casinos tend to have dress codes, right?"

"Depends on the casino," Moira shrugged.

"I dunno," Syed shrugged. Truthfully, he had never been in one either. "I'd still like to, though."

Moira thought about it for a moment. To be fair, she felt pretty gross too. Especially her face - the heat plus the mask really was pretty stuffy. She was pretty much sweating rivers here. "Alright then, but we'll be quick," Moira nodded. "Need to get rid of this too," she gestured with the paddle.

"I still dunno why you took it! Why would you possibly need one?!"

[b]Los Paraisos: Pellagio Casino[/b]
The pair of them returned a short fifteen minutes later, which was fairly impressive considering how their room was on the top floor of the hotel. Moira in a slightly too tight cocktail dress, Syed this time with long sleeves and a waistcoat. And Moira sans the stupid paddle! At least since they had changed now, they shouldn't have to worry about changing again later to meet up with Thunderhawk. Which was probably for the best considering how many times they had changed today already.

And when they stepped into the main casino itself, it was downright intimidating. The place screamed wealth, every surface a mixture of rich golds, greens, reds and blacks. Lights flashed from the various machines and reflected off spinning roulette machines. And then there was the [i]noise[/i]! It was an absolute din!

Well, it seemed that everybody else had either gone already or went to get changed too. Either way, it was just them two out of the group on top of the balcony by this point. Syed leaned over the railing a little, squinting a little in the hopes that it would help him focus better. Luckily, Amy hadn't gone far - even with the crowds, they spotted her fairly quickly. She was pretty unmistakable really. They quickly made their way over to her.

"Well, where do we start?"

"Well we got all the card games, like poker, bridge, blackjack, all that sorta stuff," Moira explained somewhat nonchalantly. Of course, she was terrible at pretty much all of those, but she still knew of them. "Or the machines. Or... is that a bar?!"

Attention span broken. Both Moira and Amy were gone at that point, leaving Syed trailing helplessly behind. Resigning himself to his fate, Syed sighed... wait, was that?

"Dylan? Don?" he called out as he walked past. He tried to stop, but he just ended up stumbling and barely avoiding landing flat on his face. Don... Don was playing card games?! He... he didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing. "What you playing hangonI'llbebackinatick!"
