Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jarlaxle's car pulled up to the casino just in time to see all the civilians running out. Kydre checked Luciano's location and turned around in to face Nay in the back seat.
"Ok they're all in there. You go in first and I'll follow," she told her. Once Nay was out of the car Kydre turned to Jarlaxle who was staring out the front window watching the chaos outside.
"Jar?"
Jarlaxle looked at her.
"Yeah?"
"Get back safely ok?" She opened the door and got out but before she shut it she leaned back in and said, "And I'm sorry for being a b***h and making you take us here. Now get your a** out of here so I can concentrate." She closed the door and pulled out her cell phone again. She made her way over to what she knew was a Kuro member's car. She inspected a few things about the building before she went inside herself.
Jarlaxle waited a full three seconds before peeling out of the parking lot and leaving. He would call her when he got off work just to make sure she was alive...even if he wasn't coming over.

"This is a grand house of gambling where riches are made and broken. Should we not save the many earnings looted by the hands of that most charming of **ores, Lady Fortune?"

"or shall i engage in discovering the relevance of this fortress fortune to the dark wizard puppetmaster?"

"Up" Riche and his hostage stood in front of a ladder that Pen could see lead to the out side. He let go of her throat and she inspected the damage the blade had done. Only a nick under her jaw, however it still felt like the cold blade was still there. She gave a snarl but the blade rose to the back of her head.

"Up I said."
"Not a dog Riche."
"UP!" Riche pushed a little harder now and, grudgingly, Pen began to climb.

She pushed the cover of the whole off to find the day had turned dark. Darn Daylight savings. She moved to the side and waited for Riche to appear.

"You sure climb slow, your even making me look bad." She commented leaning on some sort of a boulder. She was indeed free of Riche's grasp but she could let him push that demolition button. If it meant a duel to the death once again to save that money stealing rec center, Pen would have to wait for her opponent to catch his breath.

"Don't... you recognize... this place..." The vampire breathed heavily with a grin; one of which Pen would like to slap off his face. Her vision began to grow accustom to the dark lighting and she was able to see her surroundings better.

"Really Edwards, another cemetery."
"Look closer."

Pen rolled her eyes and gave another look around. Lets see the grounds keeper's house, a tree on a hill, a duck pond...

Pen stormed up to Riche and grabbed the vampire by the collar. "YOU SLIME! You brought us to my parents' grave site!"

The vampire gave another devilish grin but it was wiped off as Pen sent him flying into a nearby headstone. Got to watch for that left hook. He thought rubbing his jaw and scrambling for his rapier. Pen came flying at him with her bladed knuckles with a look of complete rage.

How dare he bring me to this place to spoil their rest with his obsession.

The battle began of two old rivals dueling to the end. Riche only being able to block Pen's jabs and slashes; the sound of metal clashing on metal brought out Riche's true gang. They and began to circle the battle as if it were a battle ring of some underground fight. All vampires under Riche's command however were told not to interfere with the Professor's duel or suffer the consequences.

Pen didn't know they were there until they began to chant for their brother.
I hope your ready for disappointment. Pen now managed to slice at Riche's clothing while he seemed to be having a tough time trying to get on the offensive.

This will end... was the shared thought as the duel continued.

"So...who wants to explain to the healer what's going on in the big bad casino?" Kydre said on the radio. She came in through the front door, her radio in one hand and her Browning in the other and ready to shot if anyone attacked her.

Luciano got on his radio and he said to Kydre, as he surveyed the area with the most slot machines, "I'll explain if you promise to save the bitching for when I am fully recovered." He peeked around the corner of a few slot machines and began to patrol in another area. Once he heard Skotti on the same line, he picked up and he said, "I believe I'm in the Gaming area- Where the slot machines are. . And youuuu?"

Luciano looked around the room, then he nodded, "Yeah. It's secure. We fanned out so we could make sure everyone wasn't in the building when it blew up- By the way, did Lana ever figure out where it was?"

Luciano looked about the rest of the room, he said while he looked around, "Well, it's going to be difficult seeing as I've no idea where the crap you are." he finished surveying the room and he radioed in to everyone, "The slots room is secure. I'm going to go survey another section of this floor."

Luciano sighed and got on the radio, "Hey, Ikuinen, quit being a blundering jackass and get your ******** head on straight. We're on a mission to find Pen and Silvina then help take out the mastermind behind this mess. We're not here for money. If I hear, or see, you looting, I'll throw your a** out the door." he got off the radio and he continued to survey the area. He happened to walk into a dim lit room- it looked like a Theatre. He lightly shrugged and then he wandered in.
