City of Lights v.2

[Raleigh]

*Raleigh ponders about the lack of people showing up and betting their potential, souls, or other on winning powers and money at his little imitation of Vegas.* Hm... what can I do to attract more costumers? Perhaps have the succubi put on bigger shows or charge less for their services? *He personally can't believe he actually has people doing that sort of work but the girls have to eat and its the easiest way to get every advantage possible out of a situation.* Litany, my dear, could you confer with the girls about some method of keeping the patrons.... distracted? I can only let them get so drunk and I'm a bit reluctant to use that bliss field to make them never want to leave. Too much and they die from not feeding themselves.

Litany: Sure. I think we could work up some glamours and some other 'ooh shiny' type enchantments on the machines.

Raleigh: Do so please. *He turns to check up on the latest victims of the one armed bandits who are slowly losing portions of their potential with every bet.*

[Raleigh]

*Wonders back over to the arena kept within the largest casino and sits in to watch someone try and fail to slay a fear shade.* Hehe. Still, I suppose I should balance this out. Perhaps a healing center or something? A temple is out as I can't make those... well I could but I really don't want to encourage my son. Let's see.... environmental decontamination? CTC is handling that. I already have a facility handing out upgrades to those who want them so free powerups is out. I can't just give wishes unless someone earns it. Hm...

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Inflatable Jasmischa wanders into the glamorous city of lights! She pauses a moment, glancing around, a bit overwhelmed by the variety of vices being offered. "Errr... I don't really have much money to bet..." she admits to herself. "But I wonder if anyone I know is around?"

She starts wandering around, looking for a familiar face!

[Raleigh]

*Raleigh can be seen walking about making sure things are working correctly.* Hm... I wonder if anyone is betting for artifacts today or technique manuals?

[Shy Shay]

Shay, female, walks up. "Oooh, this place looks fancy."

[Jello Shot Mischa]

"Oh! It's Raleigh!" Waving cheerfully, the inflatable princess makes her bouncy way over to him, squeaking with every step. "Is this your place?" she asks.

[Raleigh]

Indeed it is. I have to help make up my constantly depleting horde somehow. It also nets me some other things that I can use. You here to try your hand at a game? Ahh, hey Shay.

[Shy Shay]

"Heya, Raleigh. My power up indicator is going crazy about this place... what goes on here?"

[Miku-chan]

Zatsune pops up behind Raleigh..."Hey pops, we ever gonna put that Christmas plot together? You know the one that slips the show attendees souls away a small piece at a time so they feel the need to win it back at the games?" she asks smiling while pulling some fate threads of a girl fighting her fear of commitment in the void ring...

[Raleigh]

Aye, I was hoping we could arrange that one. Also, could you and your sister help the other shows keep the people spell bound to stick around. We have had too many catch on lately and leave.

People wager things here Shay. They can win most anything from abilities, powers, extended life span, information, money, whatever they want really. The thing is they must wager something in exchange though. The ones who want a longer life span must gamble some years of their life in exchange for instance. Some of those things can be won in the arena here but you could die fighting in that.

[Jello Shot Mischa]

Indeed it is. I have to help make up my constantly depleting horde somehow. It also nets me some other things that I can use. You here to try your hand at a game? Ahh, hey Shay.

Jasmischa hmms. "Well, I've never had much luck with gambling games..." She glances at female Shay, and edges away a little bit, just to be safe.

Listening to Raleigh's explanation, she frowns... or would, if her expression could change. "Hmmm. I've been considering trying to get some extra abilities, but I'm not sure gambling is the best way to do it..."

[Raleigh]

There are some safer games than others Mischa. A few minor abilities can be earned from the games you only have to bet money on. Still, the best rewards are when a person bets their lives.

[Shy Shay]

Shay thinks. "...what kinds of things can be won in the arena? There is something I would like to fight off..."

[Jello Shot Mischa]

There are some safer games than others Mischa. A few minor abilities can be earned from the games you only have to bet money on. Still, the best rewards are when a person bets their lives.

"Eheh..." Mischa hmms, and taps her hollow form. "I'm not sure I have much of a life to bet at this point... although I suppose you'd accept indentured service. Although even then, I'd probably be most suited for being a promotional balloon, or something..."

[Raleigh]

You pretty much name it and you can win it. Keep in mind there are some limitations like no requesting immortality or my powers or something. Still, you could say you want to have telekinesis and you will get it assuming you win. Better rewards for better games. Survival games will pay out much better than simply a one on one fight.

That would be alright if you want Mischa. We do indeed accept servitude as a bet.
