casinos;

[ O'danya knows this. Despite the games being different, using real money, and the atmosphere being even more lively than the Gold Saucer, she knows gambling. She knows card games even better. Triple Triad is definitely her jam. So most of the time, she can be found at the card tables, either learning one of the alien and new games to her, or trying her hand at what she's already picked up.

She wins some, she loses some, but she never seems to really have trouble keeping a streak going once she knows what's up. 'Lucky' and 'gifted' are practically her middle names, after all. ]


Ah, and I do believe this is the Royal Flush. Is this where I take more chips?

shopping;

Oh, this is... this is adorable.

[ When she's not being a badass at cards, O'danya can also be found around the expensive sites of glamorous shopping, dithering over cute and loud clothes alike. Some of it seems to clash with each other, but she definitely has an eye for quality. HQ only, plz. ]

exploring;

[ Essentially a wild-card to find her wherever you want. There's so much to see here!! ]
cabbagedetective: (You don't say?)

Casino!

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-18 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ever since they came in range of the casino planet, Adachi has been a regular visitor. He didn't know if he'd find a place he'd like more than the booze moon the fleet visited about two months ago, but lo and behold such a place exists! It also gives him a place to go to avoid the nosy, new captain of the Golden. Anders had seemed pretty mellow at first, but since becoming captain he's become much more tedious.]

[At any rate, as Adachi's strolling through the casino he happens upon O'danya's current table. Standing over her shoulder, he lets out an impressed sounding whistle when she reveals the Royal Flush.]
paeon: (♎ watch it in primetime)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-18 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At the whistle so close, her ears twitch in response and she looks over to raise a brow at Adachi. ]

Most spectators would give further distance. May I help you?
cabbagedetective: (Whoops... my bad...)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-18 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sorry. I guess that probably sounded a lot louder to you with ears like those.

[At this point, Adachi's seen enough aliens to not be phased by the cat chick in front of him. Yet, his manners were still clearly in need of a bit of work.]

That was just an impressive hand is all.
paeon: (➸ the way you look)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-20 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
My ears have little to do with the volume.

[ Don't be loud in someone's ears, Adachi, rude. ]

Oh, I'm well aware. These kind gentlemen and women have been teaching me much in the recent hours.
cabbagedetective: (What is this?)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-20 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adachi surveys the faces of the table's other occupants. The expressions on their faces tell him everything he needs to know.]

Oh yeah, you all seem to be great pals here.

[He stands behind O'danya, waiting to watch the next round of play.]
paeon: (➸ hey baby)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-24 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ She grins for the statement, then nods to another unoccupied chair nearby. ]

Yes, we seem to be getting along rather well. Care to join us for the next hand?
cabbagedetective: (What is this?)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-24 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'll sit this next one out, thanks. I like to get a feel for the table first before I sit down and play.

[Kind of a lie, but he wanted to sound like he knows what's he doing.]
paeon: (➸ beside me’s right where you belong)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-25 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
That is fine. Then perhaps it would help to introduce yourself first? My name is O'danya.
cabbagedetective: (Trust my grin)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-26 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm Tohru Adachi. Nice to meet you O'danya.
paeon: (➸ be the only one forever)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-27 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Tohru Adachi... The pleasure is mine, Tohru.

[ She's looking at her new hand as the next game starts up, but doesn't seem at all bothered to have her conversation split. This is better than being on a linkshell during a card game, at least. She doesn't need a hand to her ear in this case. ]

Are you familiar with this game?
cabbagedetective: (What is this?)

[personal profile] cabbagedetective 2015-05-29 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Adachi winces slightly at the sound of his first name.]

Actually, just Adachi is fine.

[Adachi's gaze is then diverted around the table, as he surveys the expressions of all the various players. The game was just as much about knowing your opponents as it was about lying and luck. His kind of game really.]

A little bit. I know the different hands and basic rules.
paeon: (➸ the way you look)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-30 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Adachi, then.

[ There's no reason for her to question it. Some, especially those in the military, choose to go by surname. It isn't the miqo'te way, but plenty of other races do it and she isn't insensitive. ]

Perhaps you might share them with me? My own grasp is rudimentary and we might realize we know something the other does not.

tothefly: (too cool for school)

casinos?

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-05-20 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Natasha's only passing by, already finished with the tables in this casino--she'd learned her lesson, in the last one--but she can't help stopping to watch this one, hearing the unhappy grumplings of most of its players, and a light voice asking after the chips.]

This is that part of the process, yes. Have you played before?
paeon: (➸ we’re gonna make it)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-20 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Not before this eve, no.

[ She turns, looks over her shoulder, and smiles for the newcomer. ]

My luck simply appears to have hit its stride, and only aids in my learning!
tothefly: (hrm)

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-05-20 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natasha smiles back, but there's a slightly more serious look in her eyes as she does.]

So I see. I'd be careful how much luck you take, though. Sometimes these places aren't too friendly to the very lucky.
paeon: (⇄ know that I am into you)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-24 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean these places, or the people participating in them?

[ She doesn't really believe the establishment itself would condone messing with people who win, but it is definitely not past anyone who's playing to give her trouble for being too good. ]
tothefly: (almost alien)

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-05-26 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
A little of both, honestly. Too much winning is bad for business. Of course, I'm sure this establishment is totally reputable. Nothing to worry about at all.

[She doesn't look very sure, though. Sure of the opposite, maybe.]
paeon: (⇄ I'm likin’ your style)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-27 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ O'danya is no stranger to pointed sarcasm and she considers that. After a moment, she smiles pleasantly for the table and excuses herself before turning to Natasha. ]

Your point is well made. Perhaps now is the time to look for what other attractions this place has to offer.
tothefly: (put on my face)

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-05-28 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like it might be a good idea to stretch your legs. Don't forget your winnings. Ten percent tip to the dealer's customary.

[And might get you off the hook for him pointing you out to the casino security. Never hurts to be generous. She'll wait to see what this one's getting into next.]
paeon: (♎ who’s gonna save the world tonight?)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-28 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ah, is it? O'danya is only familiar with the Manderville Golden Saucer, so she makes a point of following the advice whether it's true or not. Space is strange and there's little to gain in ignoring any relatively-harmless tips. ]

There we are. Have you seen anything else of interest? These places are to large and twisted, it is hard to find where one part ends and another begins.
tothefly: (casual)

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-05-30 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[To be fair, Natasha doesn't really know if it's tradition here in Space Vegas, but in her experience greasing an extra palm or two in the right place has never hurt anything. Better to treat it like regular Vegas, just in case--especially considering her earlier experiences.]

There's plenty to see, depending on what you like. Gambling of all kinds, food from at least three separate star systems judging by the advertisements, shopping--you've got plenty to choose from.

I'd just keep to the more well-lit areas of the station.
paeon: (♋ take me back a chance)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-05-30 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's a sound policy to live by. Her own gambling establishments are either places of horribly ill repute or... well, owned by Godbert Manderville and that in and of itself is an entirely different league of rules. You just don't try to understand Mandervilles. ]

Ah, yes. The seedier elements lie in the darker corners, I should assume. Food sounds like the right course of action at the moment. Would you care to join me? Or mayhap shopping would be better. I shouldn't want to squander the chance of discovering what tastes are popular in a place like this.
tothefly: (put on my face)

[personal profile] tothefly 2015-06-03 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
You'd assume right.

Either sounds fine. The food here isn't bad, if a little foreign. The shopping's also pretty decent. They've got a fairly wide variety of styles covered.

I was just on my way to lunch, if you'd like to join me?

[Just doing the decent citizen thing, and helping a fellow Fleetmate avoid a run-in in a dark alley with a handful of goons.]
paeon: (➸ every saint used to be a sinner)

[personal profile] paeon 2015-06-04 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
It would be an honor.

[ The way she grins, even that is a bit too formal for her. But it's one of those days and she's behaving for the sake of the Fleet and not being kicked out for reacting improperly to something. ]

Food is a personal interest of mine. I would be remiss in not sampling what there is available in such an odd place.
