I chuckle lightly with Simone.  You will fight undead but you are afraid of some clothes?  Maybe you have your priorities skewed a bit, but yes she looks very nice.  I don't think I could pull that off half so well.

Hello,
I say to the newcomer and nod at Kynos Particularly in public places like nightclubs and casinos, most traps come later or after the job is complete, but it always pays to be aware of your tactical position.

Simone blushes a bit at Irris' comment and nods without making an additional comment.  She is relieved when the newcomer arrives and raises her hand to acknowledge Kynos' introduction of her then quietly orders some more fruit juice and sits back to listen to the others.

[Noëmie "Nyx" d'Orville - January, 12th, 2076 - Gates Casino, Bellevue, Seattle]

Noëmie nods, taking the order, and closes the door *So, runners, eh? Weird.* shaking her head, she goes to fetch the drinks. As she passes near Casa, she says "Your last guest just came in, Sir.", while trying not to stare too much. *So, that would make him a Mister Johnson...* with a shake, she grabs the drinks, and goes back to serve them.

"Here you are. If that is all, I'll leave now. Should you need anything, you can call from the table. Good evening."

"Thank you miss, I will take a soykaf." Wheely says to the hostess. He isn't used to all this oppulence and his clothes looks like rags compared to what most of the clients are wearing, he even has an oil stain on the back of his shirt that he quickly tuck in his pant to hide hoping that the sexy hostess didn't see it. In the booth though, it isn't hard to recognize runners, even if they made more effort than him to dress up.

"Didn't even thought of that" he badly lie in answer to Kynos, annoyed to be that obvious. "I didn't even know there would be a team, so far my mysterious employer has said very little but from the look of it there is more than a simple delivery. Name is Antonio but most call me Wheely" he says while taking place around the table.

Simone thanks the hostess for the drink but cannot seem to tear her eyes from the girl's dress.  She shakes her head as the hostess walks away, more sure now that she is not wearing any underwear and wondering how the thing stays up.  Simone is almost mesmerized by the movement of her hips as she walks to the door.

She breaks from looking at the hostess' ass to look over at the new arrival.  "So, does Wheely mean that you drive cars or does it refer to something else?"

"You must be some kind of detective to figure out that one. Sorry bad joke, force of habit but you are right. Cars, trucks, drones, anything with wheels I'm your man. As I said job here was supposed to be a delivery…" once the hostess is out of earshot, he adds with a smug grin "impressive sight isn't it?"

Simone blushes at the detective comment, not sure if he really is joking or making fun of her.  She blushes again when he comments on the hostess, feeling a bit guilty for being caught watching her walk away.

Mr. Casa enters your booth and something about his presence instinctively makes you silent.
"I am glad you could make it, I am Casa and I came here to offer you a business opportunity. "
He pauses a bit and then continues "I know it does not work like that usually, but that darn EMP have erased credsticks, if you were wondering why it was so difficult to get a shadow jobs it is because most employers are out of shadow money to pay you. The work I am suggesting is a combination of your executive skills and my legwork abilities - if you do A then I can get a considerable amount for you in return, but before I tell you more there is something I want you to see. If you would please come with me to the elevator."

Mr. Casa signals you into a small and unimpressive service elevator. As he leaves the booth he tells Nicole, "If you do not find that inappropriate, why don't you accompany us honey" He clearly refers to her previous comment about not listening to the conversation. Casa is accompanied by a lady that although treated seemed beaten up quite severely that some of you have met her as Finestra. She walks after you and and moans quietly from time to time. When she sees Kynos she briefly nods and introduces herself as 'Gem'.

[Noëmie "Nyx" d'Orville - Unknwown date - Gates Casino, Bellevue, Seattle]

Noëmie frowns lightly at Casa's invitation. She sure as hell doesn't need more complications in her life, and this looks to have the potential to become a huge one. She doesn't have much choice however: Valentina asked her to make sure Casa was pleased, and not getting in an elevator is hardly something she can justify. And she needs the job.

With barely any visible hesitation, Noëmie follows to the elevator. Wondering what this is all about. And how she can avoid getting stuck with whatever is going on...

Wheely shrugs and follow Casa into the elevator, he got a point about the lack of work after all.

Whatever Kynos might say about carefulness, it's never a bad idea to gather some datas. His cybereyes discreetly switching to AR he takes a careful look to spot what electronics Casa have on his person, especially those running silent.

@Maxwell Amy opens her mouth to speak, but as she Does Grail manifest in the room. Apparently he was the astral form you have seen in the room with you. The outside grail vanishes from the cameras. "You speak well my child, you were loyal to me and have earned your place beside me. " He tells Amy and warmly embraces her.  Amy embraces him, and somehow she seems genuinely happy to see the vampire."I did not know if you were coming back, I felt so lost without you and... I... I... I killed a girl." She said as she held him tightly. "Please Grail, never leave me like that again" she whispers.  Grail says"There were complications with the filthy AI. I am here now and will never let you out of my sight."

He looks at Maxwell and says "Look, Max I know about the girls you freed and under normal circumstances I would hurt you, but my child likes you and I do not want to upset her. I know every
single one of my followers, very intimately do not think that I would not feel the difference.

If you want to keep dating my daughter you have to accept what she is. You cannot see me as a monster and her as an innocent. We both are monsters according to human values. We are going to consume many people over the course of our long life. Yet we both are people. You need to decide how you feel about this, if you see us as monsters to be eradicated then you would not be the first to try and eliminate us.  But if you places your emotions to my daughter above that, then I will give you two my blessing.

I ask you to leave now, because you are confused and have not decided how you feel about *us* but know this, we are the same. We have the same blood  inside our veins, we are now united by bonds that runs as deep as it gets...  We are family and I am not going to leave my child before she becomes a strong, capable and independent vampire"

As Grail speaks eight spirits manifest around him, to make themselves known to you, one after another, perhaps Grail is showing off or perhaps he feels that he needs the show of force to prevent you from using violence. He adds "The next time you come, either you choose to be with Amy, or you come to kill both of us. "
He adds with empathy in his voice - and you almost believe that he cares. "Understand this Max, in a couple of years, Amy is going to have her own herd. It is going to be filled with handsome men, and she is going to sleep with all of them. They will all feed her and whorship her, it is not going to be easy for you to love her, but there is no other way for her to survive and keep her humanity. She will slowly consume these men until they can barely imagine life without her. Then a moment before they are finished, Amy is going to release them so that they can say their goodbye to their family and loved ones.They have to be near the end as they simply know too much and would otherwise send hunters to our home. Amy will take that risk, same way as I do and this is as close to mercy as there is for our kind. We do not follow human morality - in human eyes we are monsters but, what was done can never be undone  and I myself still carry a complex relationship with my own maker.

If you do want her you have to accept her for what she really is, you have to give up your human values and learn how to not judge Amy. It is not impossible, but it is not going to be easy for you. Now please leave, before you are going to do something that you regret. 

@Wheely - the only-thing wireless on Casa is his suit that continuously calculate the light patterns in order to adjust its shades to make Casa look thinner and more attractive. Being aware that the suit does that, you suddenly notice that he is a bit overweight but the wonders of technology trick your eyes into thinking that he is slimmer. He does not carry a comlink, or present a SIN in any manner.

Kynos greeted Case with a nod. Their last interaction had ended on a positive note, so he stopped himself from saying anything unnecessarily stupid.
That resolve withered away quickly when he saw the state of Finestra: "Hi. Gen. What happened to you? You've still got a favor from me, so if you want someone maimed discreetly, I'll give you a discount."

Ayato slips into the elevator quietly.  You barely noticed him do it before he was there.

@Kynos Gem/Finestra smiled and said "A violent lover, all part of the job though." She almost seemed alright with it, almost.

@all as you descend in the elevator, you reach an underground floor with multiple rooms, near the elevator there is a table covered with two cases of chocolate soy-bars and about 24 bottles of water.

Casa said "Have a look around, we are deep enough so that there is no matrix signal and the place is magically warded to prevent magical detection. I know what you must be thinking - but I am pretty sure that you cannot afford the rent in this lovely joint. Cheaters in this Casino get to stay here for free while the interrogators of this casino figure out how they managed to cheat.

Look gentleman, you all are dangerous people and the last thing I would like to do is to anger you, or to waste your time. You enjoyed some drinks and got a tour to our underground interrogation rooms, it should make for a nice average day, and if this job smells bad for you, this is where we say goodbye, without any hard feelings.

The specifics about this job are sensitive, so if you decide to skip this job after hearing the details,  then I'd ask you to agree to spend the next 3 day locked in this place. Afterwards you will be released without any hard feelings from our side. What I can tell you to help you decide is that this job is a high risk, high reward kind and may involve a significant amount of violence - depending on your execution strategy.
" He pauses and then adds:

"I will give you a minute or two to scan this joint and decide if you are interested in hearing details or not."

There is not much space, the rooms are small and are completely empty except for a few sleeping begs that are neatly placed in their corners. There is also a small toilet room.

After sometime Casa say "To those of you that have to record everything they see. I am also asking not to record the briefing if you chose to stay. Failure to comply will disappoint the owner of this fine establishment. "

Casa seems calm as he waits for you to make up your mind.

[Noëmie "Nyx" d'Orville - January 12th, 2076 - Gates Casino, Bellevue, Seattle]

Noëmie seems a bit disturbed at the news. Not really at the place. Compared to some of the places she had to hide in, this place looks like heaven. Almost. No, what disturbs her, is why Casa is telling her all this.

Looking at Casa, she coughs slightly "I'm sorry Sir, but I'm just an employee of the casino, I don't think all of this concerns me. I can't just abandon my current job like that after all."

She glances at the others, and adds "Plus, I don't think I could be of help. I should probably go back upstairs."
