The Gambino Mansion - Gambino The pride and joy of the island, Gambino mansion is a large and stately dwelling house for lineage of Gambino. Gambino Mansion itself has specially designed rooms meant to accommodate leisure activities of a various kinds, along with a hall, two or three salons or drawing rooms, dining room, breakfast room, morning room, study and numerous bedrooms. However one often finds the place short of bathrooms, often only two or three in a place of 20 plus bedrooms. In addition to the principal bedrooms would be far more for the staff usually on the uppermost or attic floors. It also boasts a conservatory, greenhouse, an indoor swimming pool, and an arts & crafts room with extravagant north-oriented windows. There is even a large room to house a private library, while at the same time having a large room designed for home cinema is a must. The mansion is rumoured to have been built with integrated domotics, perhaps to excess. Yet, while it does seem extravagant, the place has burned down a total of three times and it is advised against even stepping foot in there.

The gate was passed, and Lazenca was there. Gambino Mansion, AKA the House of Pimps. Pinky fingers in the air, y'all.
It was silent, so very silent. Laz's ears twitched to the sound of birds, crickets, and various other outdoor ambient noises. He let out a soft sigh before walking up the [likely very, very, very long] driveway. The mansion was impressive, he could see from there. And he'd been there a few times, when still with the Empire, and when it was opened for special occassions.
"....." Almost did he start thinking on bad things. No, he had to keep his mind as clear as possible. He had to remain focused.
"Am I... the only one here? Huh. Guess I'll look around."

"Look" The sound of an exasperated spirit came from nowhere, "It's my job to appear from nowhere and scare the bejezus out of you. I've been having a little dificulty with that job today.
"So, umm... Ahem."
A face appeared right infont of Lazenca.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
With a poof and a gust of cold wind it was gone.

A voice I've been having a little dificulty with that job today.
And then a face appeared, an event that made Lazenca stop and stumble back, wide-eyed. Just as fast as it appeared, it was gone. It'd take a little while longer for his heartrate to go back to normal. "Damn it, where are you?!"
Calm. Maybe... maybe it was the spirit of someone who'd died in one of the fires? Or was it something else? Lazenca shook his head at what just happened. "This is... crazy."

Anyway, our slightly-less-disturbed hero walked around. The best way to find petals was to look through gardens, right? So that's exactly what he did... he started towards the gardens. Maybe a little silly? Maybe. One had to start somewhere. Maybe he'd get lucky, being so meticulous.
Or maybe he'd level up in his secret ninja searching skills along the way. Whatever... he wasn't going to stay long if nothing happened.

Nothing. It was completely silent, save for the same ambient noises that were present when he entered the area. A cricket chirped, the little waterfall ran, a few birds sang, and a breeze rustled the branches.
"..." Lazenca looked up, then shook his head, ending the three move combo with a sigh. "I'm wasting my time here... nowhere to go but westward."
He shifted to the Feral state and left. When out of the are, he'd hit top speed on the way to the gambling district. Lots more people... maybe there was something more to look forward to.

Jacknife spotted a bright flash coming from the Gambino mansion as he drived past.
"We're stopping here." He stated, screeching to a halt.
"This is what I do, stay here and wait for me guys."
He hopped out of the jeep and walked across the lawn to the large doors of Gambino Mansion.
"Keep me posted if anything happens" He said into the radio.

"Well... It's not like I knew he was going to jump off his horse and attack us...." Masuyu contested Nascen's previous statement, "And I was mooning everyone, not just him." He sighed to himself and slid further into his seat, "I'm an equal opportunity moonist..."

"Hold up, Jackni... be careful in there, a'ight?" he said, getting up and standing inside the jeep still. "You get into any trouble in there, get right out." Nascen tried to see if he could sense any magic around, or anything else. "You wanna pull that, then don't do it while we're in the middle of a job... don't think I was kidding about docking your pay."

Jacknife spotted the glowing chest from outside the large ballroom window.
"Simple enough..."
He deftly removed his lock disableing devices from his vest and set about picking the locks on the closed window.
It wouldent take long at all.
The security systems here were designed to detect bio matter entering, so as long as he didnt go in he was good.

Masuyu shrugged, "I could care less for money... Aslong as I have enough to afford some ramen and the occasional sushi dinner...." He looked away from the jeep and it's occupants, staring out at the ocean beyond the island's edge. His sense of clarity began to return as he slipped into a more philosophical mind set; reminding himself of his goals and why he was here.

The window latch popped, it was now a simple matter to pop the inside lock. His eyes flashed purple and the lock snapped undone.
The window slid itself up as his eyes remained purple. He made sure not to put any part of his body past the window's mouth.
The chest floated into the air and moved towards him. He caught it as it floated out the window.

Jacknife ran swiftly back to the Jeep. Away from the mansion. His eyes flashed purple and the window closed and relocked itself.
He jumped over the door and into the driver seat. He handed the box to nascen and gunned it out of there.
exclaim Don't play mod.
