Case 196

[manofgnee]

[It's a real slow night at the bar...not at the casino, everybody is gambling away their fortunes, and Hanna loves to watch them, but as far as getting drinks goes? Surprisingly few takers tonight.

So, Hanna's bored.]

Man, what is with these people tonight...usually they love to come and get drunk...

[SIIIGH.]Ah well. The customers'll come

[pyromatique]

Give me your best shot of whiskey. And show me what juggling skills you got.

[manofgnee]

Yes sir!

[Hanna grabs the whiskey and 4 shot glasses- 1 for the actual booze, and 3 for juggling. He pours the shot and slides it to Pyro, before taking the other 3 glasses.]

Okay, here goes...please don't break...

[Luckily, today is Hanna's lucky day. He starts juggling the shot glasses, and nothing bad happens!]

[pyromatique]

[ Downs the drink and he lifts his finger up, requesting for another shot. Without warning, he throws the empty shot glass to Hanna, expecting him to catch it mid juggle. ]

[manofgnee]

[Hanna nods, but he also yelps, because AAH INCOMING SHOT GLASS! Luckily, he manages to catch it, though it throws off his juggling. Amazingly, he doesn't break anything today!

Here, let's go get you more alcohol.]

[illgrowoutofit]

[A disreputable-looking youth hunkers down at the bar. He's wearing a shabby grey sweatshirt with the hood up, hair that is either unwashed or gelled to look that way, and from the looks of it his eyes are ringed in black eyeliner.]

Got anything German on tap?

[manofgnee]

Yeah, I think so....you got enough to pay?

[illgrowoutofit]

Great. Give me, like, a pitcher.

[He glances around warily, and then pulls out an alarmingly sizeable wad of cash. Well, that doesn't match up with his bedraggled appearance at all. But, to be fair, it's at least possible that he won it in the slots... right?]

How much?

[manofgnee]

[Hanna nods at the wad. He's not surprised by this, he gets a lot of the scammers and pickpockets. It is Vegas.]

Lemme check...pitcher is about 10 bucks.

[Reid has been casino hopping, counting cards and winning more than he loses. He sits down at the bar.]

Water.

[And he puts a ten dollar chip down on the bar, sliding it across to the bartender.]

[manofgnee]

Can do! One water on the rocks, coming up!

[Hanna chuckles to himself, taking the chip and putting it with the other profits, and he goes an makes a water, which he then slides to Reid.]

[yesimagenius]

Thanks.

[Reid takes a sip of his water, glancing back out at the casino and then to the bartender.] When do things pick up?

[He doesn't like gambling when it's slow. There's little to distract anyone from realizing he's probably counting cards.]

[manofgnee]

They should pick up in about an hour or so...the night is still young.

[commarogue]

[ She sidles up and makes herself comfortable at the stool with the least people surrounding it. ]

Jack and coke. Hold the chit-chat.

[manofgnee]

[Nod nod, goes to get the booze.]

[commarogue]

[ When he comes back with the drink, about half of it goes down in one swig. She takes a moment to relish and when she looks back at Hanna she shrugs. ]

I wasn't here. Not...strictly supposed to drink on the job.

[ A bad employee and a hypocrite, sure. ]

[manofgnee]

Miss, I won't tell a soul.

[coyote_walking]

Mercy slides her impeccably and sexily dressed self onto one of the stools. "My usual, Hanna." She turns and looks back out at the crowded casino floor. "Surprisingly few interesting men out there tonight. You know how bored I get on my own."

[ooc: Yes, Mercy is one of the jaded uber-wealthy, trolling for a little action, whether it's on the casino floor or with a gorgeous man.]

[manofgnee]

Ah, hello, miss Mercy! Should I put it on your tab?

Oh, don't you worry, it'll pick up soon.

[coyote_walking]

Thanks, Hanna. Add a $50 in there for yourself.

I do hope so. There's a lovely lounge singer that I met, but really, I do think it's been just terribly quiet so far.

[manofgnee]

Gee, thanks, miss Mercy!

Don't you worry, things'll turn around. And if you have to go with the lounge singer, then that's okay!
