"And why, might I ask are you looking for this person?" The manager asked as he glanced down at his clipboard again.
Sam listened to John, but pretended to pay no attention at all.

John paused for a moment - before stepping away from Sam for the first time since they started the charade, moving in close to the manager, leaning down to put his face directly into his.
"The woman is a healer of the highest order, and the Queen is in need of such a healer. If that information leaves this casino floor, your cleaning staff will have a lot of time digging your guts out of this fine carpet. Do you understand me?"

The manager went deathly pale and nodded turning to the woman briskly. "Give him access...."
The head of security did not like her manager being threatened right in front of her.. but in the end he was still her boss as well, so with a scowl she nodded as the manager bustled away. "The surveillance room is in the back... if you will follow me?" stare

"I will." He said to the security lady, before turning to the 'princess'. "Your Highness, would you like to see the security room? It has access to the entire casino."
Nudge nudge, wink wink. Unless John magicked a massive neon sign saying 'oppertunity ahoy to stick out of his head as he tap danced upon a fire eating tomato soup out of a flower vase, he could not make this any more clearer to her.

She was tempted to tell him that she didn't really want to go look at the cameras, especially since she really didn't think that Hono had been here... but she was willing to play along, she had asked for his help after all, so she was willing to listen to him.
The young lady slowly slid off her chair, shaking a stray curl back behind her shoulder. "Lets go then...If she was not here then we have other places that we need to check before the night grows any older!" Violet eyes practically stared a hole in the large security manager's chest until the woman shrugged and turned to lead them back to the security center.

Samantha~Munin~ She was tempted to tell him that she didn't really want to go look at the cameras, especially since she really didn't think that Hono had been here... but she was willing to play along, she had asked for his help after all, so she was willing to listen to him. The young lady slowly slid off her chair, shaking a stray curl back behind her shoulder. " Lets go then...If she was not here then we have other places that we need to check before the night grows any older!" Violet eyes practically stared a hole in the large security manager's chest until the woman shrugged and turned to lead them back to the security center. John said efficiently, looking about him as they began to walk away. He was keeping an eye out now - now that they had made contact with the casino manager and head of security, a lot of people would be raising their eyebrows. He followed close behind the trio, letting Sam move in front of him where she belonged as they came to a door. A swipe of a key-card and a press of a hand into a palm-print ID panel allowed them access. This was extremely important. The casino 'cages' were massive and built like labyrinths. This made stealing from them very difficult, as it was rare for a burgler to get this far, and even rarer to find his target - and even harder to figure his way out afterwards. Coming to a large door, another swipe of a card and press of a palm revealed a big office, three sides of the four walls covered from top to bottom with television screens, each signifying a camera pointed to the casino floor. Strapped into large chairs, suspended from the ceiling and surrounded by wires and tubes filled with liquid, were three people, two men and a woman. Their heads were covered in what looked like a massive helmet which obscured their faces completely, their arms and legs strapped down tight to the 'chairs'. This was the metaphysical equivelent of a security system within Gaia - three powerful psychics, getting information fed directly into their brainstems to process and gather information. John had never seen one up close, and as he moved forward to one, it twitched involuntarily, it's hand spasming. The three spoke at once, in unison, as if from a collective mind. "Don't fret, John Tomorrow. This is of our own free will.""Don't fret, John Tomorrow. This is of our own free will.""Don't fret, John Tomorrow. This is of our own free will."John's eyes narrowed behind his sunglasses. The foremost psychic twitched again as the three suddenly span around from their walls, coming around to crowd around him and his young 'princess', awaiting their questions. Psychics. John never felt comfortable around them.

Stop babbling.... stare Munin didn't like psychics, they had a tendency to try and pick things out of her head that the all father had put there for safe keeping. Luckily her mental firewalls and encoding were a lot harder to break than the ones on her computer that John had already broken earlier that night.
"Hono'oRaven, has she been here, or close to here?" The girl gave the trio a mental picture of her mother..not what she looked like really, but more the feel of her powers and aura, this was an image that even a blind man would recognise...She had thought that they would be looking at boring video feeds for hours, and the oracle that they had set up here was a boon from lady luck herself...

John crossed his arms, waiting for the psychics to answer.
They had been plugged straight into the whole banks of camera feeds, credit-cards, EFTPOS, ID scanners...they pretty much monitored everything that went on in the casino.
((Sweety, you'll have to answer for me. I cant make up what i dont know. I have no idea where Hono ended up - this is your RP, you're the pilot. I'm just holding on for the ride. blaugh xd ))

The trio focused their attention on the girl for a moment, considering her demand.
"The one you seek is no longer as you knew her, she is changed and yet remains the same!"
"The one you seek is no longer as you knew her, she is changed and yet remains the same!"
"The one you seek is no longer as you knew her, she is changed and yet remains the same!"
The monitors all flashed to a dark nightclub, and a scene of a shining happy woman dancing in the midst of an adoring crowd. It was definitely Hono, in fact it was the same Hono that John had met at the stadium earlier.
Sam frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "What did she do to her hair? She can change how she looks, that doesn't matter, why do you say that she is different?"
The scene on the monitors changed to pre-dawn outside of a tall hotel, Hono sat on the window ledge surrounded by hundreds of ravens, the birds were perched on every surface possible.
Hono stood and hopped off the window ledge, the air around the woman shimmering for a moment before a giant raven replaced the woman and flew off, all of the tiny normal birds soaring with her.
The first scene hadn't mattered much to the girl, there had to be some significance in her mother changing her hair color so drastically, but it could not be anything important... However the sight of a raven large enough to carry a human on it's back had the girl wide eyed and trembling slightly. "You have my thanks oracle....do... do you know where she is now?" Sam's voice had lost all of it's confidence, and the girl's pretence as a princess was definitely slipping.
"The Raven's Queen is beyond our reach now, she left our shores some time ago. John Tomorrow crossed paths with her after she left our sight..."
"The Raven's Queen is beyond our reach now, she left our shores some time ago. John Tomorrow crossed paths with her after she left our sight..."
"The Raven's Queen is beyond our reach now, she left our shores some time ago. John Tomorrow crossed paths with her after she left our sight..."
stare Sam turned to look at John, wondering if the big man had ever planned to mention that he had seen Raven recently.

He looked back down to Sam. "What?" He asked her with a raised eyebrow. "Last time i saw her was a few days ago, when Vahn was fighting that moron Silver and some other guy. She bounced Silver out of the arena when the fight moved elsewhere - i was busy chasing after Sunstrike. I dont know what happened to her after that."
He shrugged his massive shoulders. He thought she knew all this. Why else would she be at the Stadium?

Sam had gone to Tomorrow because he was family, and because he knew Hono better than a lot of others, although likely he didn't realise that.
She turned back to the seers and tried to calm herself down again. "Any chance you saw where Hono'oRaven went after Tomorrow saw her?"
"We can see her though him now, we could not without him here... The Salamander sent her away, and she is now firmly entangled in the Scion's web... We can not see her any longer!"
"We can see her though him now, we could not without him here... The Salamander sent her away, and she is now firmly entangled in the Scion's web... We can not see her any longer!"
"We can see her though him now, we could not without him here... The Salamander sent her away, and she is now firmly entangled in the Scion's web... We can not see her any longer!"
Salamander, Scion.. for a moment Munin wondered what the heck the three clairvoyants were talking about... and then she remembered the last time that Karasu broke loose, and the salamander that the spirit had happily tried to seduce... sweatdrop "Sunstrike? Datho knows where Hono is! Alright then Tomorrow, where is Datho Sunstrike?" xp

Datho?! His first name was Datho?!
John tried to hide the grin from spreading on his face. Honest.
"Last time i saw him, he got his a** whipped real bad and was trying to get away. I tried to help him, but he seemed to be scared of everybody - even me. I didn't see where he went, but..." His eyes narrowed as the grin was swept from his face. "...It was strange...it was like, for a minute, someone else's brainwaves had appeared next to him...and then pulled him into something...before i lost both their signatures."
He frowned. That didn't sound like bouncing, or teleporting. It sounded more like a portal technique. But John didn't know anybody who used portal techniques...

stare "Another riddle, another apparent dead end....but it figures that Hono would go chasing the salamander again, she is happy around him most of the time." rolleyes Samantha turned away from the seeres and stared towards the door, pondering where they should go next.
She had no way to find Sunstrike, and therefore no way, again, to find Hono...Sam was at a loss...

A vibrant young woman walked through the smoky, crowded rows and hallways of slot machines and tables, her hair flowing behind her like the gold out of the machines, and much the same color.
"Where are you... you've been here. I can smell it."
The young woman sat down at a nearby machine, finding next to her an older gentleman with a clear disdain for the machine he was using. One of the woman's heels strapped up nearly to the knee clinked against the footrest below as the man looked over to his side to see the newcomer.
He began to speak without being addressed. "Looking for Lady Luck? I must tell you, She hasn't been kind to me these past few days. I'm not one of those hardcore gambling men, myself; I take care of my finances. But I certainly do enjoy the rush."
Green eyes darted to the right. "They say that the owner of this island walked in with but a single coin and left with the deed to the island. Do you truly believe that destiny is shaped by luck?"
A jovial laugh, followed by "Well, Miss, if my destiny were shaped by anything else, I certainly wouldn't want to know. Care to make a wager?"
Thirty seconds later the click of the woman's heels and the swish of her golden ponytail leaving the casino was all that announced her presence.
"Care to make a wager? We'll play these two machines until one of us hits a seven. If you win, you can have all my winnings for today."
"And if you win?"
"A simple kiss for good luck from a pretty young lass is all I ask."
He had certainly received his kiss, and more; The machine she had just left was pouring out coins. She had hit a triple seven, and thus, the jackpot, in just one pull of the lever.
"You seem to need it more than I."

Joe Smith was walking amongst the noisy machines. His 'walking stick' was in his right hand, and his Gingershnapps was in his left. people were all around him, adding to the noise of the room, along with a cigarette in his mouth adding to the smoke of the room itself.
He heard people shouting in joy, anger, jealously, and applause whenever someone scored a decent match on the machines. They seemed endless! And just as Joe's mind began focusing on other thoughts than the noise, like what he was going to have for lunch, someone bumped him, causing him to loose his grip on his cup, which went flying from his hand, the clear class and the amber colored alchohol flying free, the liquid splashing several people, and the cup continuing on undeterred by the body of a person............
