Alice had been very pensive and thoughtful throughout the meeting recently, listening, aware, but somewhat impatient and disinterested. She'd wandered about a bit on a whim, and overheard Prisha. As though struck by a bolt of terrible inspiration, she immediately went up to him and said, "a psychic, you say? I need to ask you a favor. If you're powerful enough, that is. I understand if you're not." Something about her tone suggested she didn't seriously expect Prisha to survive granting this favor, whatever it was.

Bianca kicks Prisha in the stomach and goes off to defrost herself with magic and the stove. "Thanks for nearly disabling me for life because I asked you a few questions, dumbass. I don't care if you're a psychic and I don't give a rat's ass about your secret society. I am the heir to the house of Rona, but you don't have to give a rat's ass about that. The point is, if you have the means to enter my world, I have protection."

He's definitely on her list of people she doesn't want to work with. Quietly reentering the kitchen, she defrosts her fingers with magic until she can turn on the stove.

"Don't mean to interrupt you all, but there's a brat with ice powers and there's a slight possibility that he's a spy. If you don't bend to his every will he'll freeze you up."

Grimm’s arm shot out and he cuffed Prisha upside the head. “Don’t do that shit again. Goddamnit, this is just what we need. It doesn’t matter where they’re from. Teenagers are universally stupid. So, has anyone else given thought to my idea? We’d have easy access to the casino if we took that option. I’d say it’s our best shot!”

Jonathan rolled his eyes at Bianca's announcement. "Why is it that so much of the time when people have power of some kind or another, they feel the need to lord it over everyone else? 'Oh, I can see into the future, you can't, nah-nah.' 'By the way, I can kill you with my mind.' Seriously." He sighed, shaking his head. "They never - never - understand how little it takes to kill them. For example..." He picked up a knife from the counter. "Shove this an inch into the back of their neck? Dead instantly. Severs the spinal cord."

He threw the knife back. "That's not even getting into sniper rifles or rocket launchers. I'd like to see them freeze me solid after I shoot their head open from half a mile away or blow them to bits, and burn the bits. Shield? Well, you have to know it's coming, and if I'm going after you with a sniper rifle, I'm sure as hell not going to say, 'Yo, I'm gonna shoot at you in a minute, mkay? So watch out.'

"And if I do find out he's a spy..." He narrowed his eyes and drew a slashing motion across his throat. "Orichalcum is a wonderful thing, and he's gonna wish he could bleed out faster."

Night.

"Sounds good to me," Yuki said with a yawn. "Get a look at the casino from inside. Learn the shift changes, who the staff are, stuff like that."

Bianca stays in bitter silence, but keeps one eye on Prisha. "I overheard you talking about sending people over as hotel guests, and I think that's a good idea. Who are we going to pick?"

Alice sighed, and said to Prisha, "I have an associate... OK, more of an enemy. The sort of enemy I often make deals with, under the table. But he'll probably be willing to help me here — recent events have screwed us both over, and I've got something he really wants. Little toy I stole from some crazy death-priests off-world." She doubted this would work, but if the kid was cocky enough... "he can provide us some very useful insurance against a few worst-case scenarios. Thing is, he's hard to contact except via psychic, and he... well, you'll want to just deliver the message and cut off the connection. Talking with him..." she grimaced. "Don't do that."

She was absolutely certain Prisha's brains were going to be converted to scrambled eggs.

Alice sighed, and said, "y'know what. Forget about it. As useful as defense against beings capable of toying with time and space would be, I don't think an kid like you could handle the stress of dealing with someone as ancient and powerful as the fellow I've got in mind. I mean, an inexperienced psychic from a third-rate band of magi..." she shrugged. "He hates it when people waste his time. So I suppose I'll give him a call the old fashioned way."

I have no goddamn idea what Alice will do if Prisha actually agrees to help her.

Alice shrugged. She hadn't really expected it to work anyways. Well, she guessed she'd be doing things the old fashioned way. No matter. Casually, and truthfully, she added, "I meant everything I said, for what it's worth." With that, she wandered off, in search of more potential amusement, or useful information. Whichever found its way to her first.

Bianca is liking Prisha less and less. Sure, William's sarcastic and mean, but at least he lets her reprimand him when he does it and knows that he's supposed to keep disputes non-physical. Then again, William is obligated for many reasons to listen to her.

"Anyway, folks, I hope I didn't miss anything crucial."

Alright, take two, now that I know more what's going on.

Joshua awoke with a slight jolt. He must have been sleeping for awhile, because when he looked up, most of his peers were no longer in the room. He heard talking though—and the light was on in the kitchen—so he had a good idea for where they all were.

He swung his legs off the bed and got up, stretching a bit. He figured they'd been planning. Assuming they were sane—which might not be a good assumption to make—they wanted to go in quiet first and then bring out the bang if something went wrong. To that end, he had an idea...

He made his way over to the kitchen, finding a handful of people there. "Anyone want to play cops and robbers?" He said in a tone that, very nearly, seemed almost irrelevant. However, he intended to do more than just annoy his fellows.

"If someone wants to play the second person, I can pass for a cop. I just need a badge—which I assume our employer can get me, since he's almost certainly listening at the moment, the bastard—and someone to be looking for. I claim that there's a criminal on the loose, give a half-ass description, and then I can have half of security helping me go on a wild-goose chase."

Joshua leaned against the wall. "Then, if we can have the second person make their way to a more clandestine part of the casino, we can take out the guards as they go after him or her." Joshua shrugged as he finished; it wasn't the best plan, but it would suffice as a possible idea—especially if they could find a way to defeat the camera system. Perhaps he could get a suppressor off the employer, too; then he could kill without drawing nearly as much attention.

[down] Kitchen.

Is Joshua in the kitchen or the armory?

Bianca's limbs are now moveable, but very stiff. Thank goodness. She wasn't looking forward to having two barely controllable metal arms. She finishes her mashed potatoes, which have sadly gone cold, and notes that Prisha has disappeared. No one else seemed very concerned about him, but she can't help but be worried about what he might be up to.

"At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I think we should go look for that brat. I don't think he should be left alone. Idiots are dangerous. Powerful idiots are worse."

Charlie turned to Joshua.

"So, you basically want someone to draw fire away from the rest of us? This may sound crazy, but I volunteer. I'm remarkably durable."

"Well, hopefully it won't come to fire. I won't make promises, though. Basically, you'll be bait, if you're still interested. Move the guards to a different point, where they're no longer able to react, and then eliminate or neutralize the threat. Basic threat redirection, really. You'd be amazed at what months of running for your life teaches you about the value of a distraction." Joshua said, with a bitter undertone that betrayed any humor value the statement might have had.

"Don't worry, I can handle a few guards. That way, the rest of the stealth team can move through the casino without any attention from security."

"Perfect. Now I'll just have to figure out where I'm going to hide my sniper rifle and shotgun so I can get them later. You never know when you're going to need better firepower, or, for that matter, when you'll have to take some poor bastard out from the next rooftop over..." Joshua was musing more to himself than he was talking to anyone else anymore, but he continued to lean against the wall, drifting into his own thoughts rather than leaving to fall asleep again.

ironically, I'm probably going to bed soon—all-nighter = shitty day—so I may not be around. Try not to make a thousand pages of posts if I go, please? wink

Deinonychus was long asleep by now, if you could call it sleeping.

Deinonychus stood there, knees on the ground as he held his dying mate in his arms, "I'm so sorry.... my love, I did this to you, I couldn't control myself and this happened." Tears streamed down his scaly face as she put his hand to him, "Deinon, it's not your fault, I don't blame you for what happened," she smiled at him, "Just promise me you'll achieve our dream." He looked at her as he uttered silently, "I promise," as she slipped away from life, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

He awoke in a flash, the Saurian breathed heavily and wheezed as he recalled his dream, I lost her and it was my fault.... I need a drink.

He walked toward the kitchen as he found a bottle of water. He tried to calm down as he sipped the bottle, he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep and it was going to be a long night.

That was what I call character development, by my shitty standards at least

One could mistake Alice's state for deep meditation, but she was in fact, sleeping. In a manner of speaking.

Thirty minutes later, her eyes darted open, and she was aware again. Alice's demented sleep schedule drove Isaac and Sigmund mad, and neither had managed to follow it with her success. Sigmund had even proposed it might be a partial cause of Alice's eccentricities. But it was important for Alice to run upon such a schedule... for if she slept too long, she might begin to dream. And given what happened then...

Alice would steal another such nap when she got an opportunity. Until then... she grabbed her knife, her dart gun and some tranquilizers. The tranquilizers in particular meant to stun, not kill, and harmless if ingested. Thus armed, she slipped off into the desert, examining the ground until she found some tracks. "Wabbit season!" she exclaimed in joy, and hurried off in search of her quarry.
