[ doot doot just continuing to check out the games floor. she will avoid the bar. going to take note of any security officers present and if they appear to have specific patrol routes. any employee or security access doors visible? ]

[resumed]

[ cool, love being able to seamlessly blend in and get lost in the crowd to the point nobody's looking at him twice. does it look like the people entering the casino are going in a specific direction moreso than others? or likewise are there any people who seem to be grouping off in a direction that seems off? he will "aimlessly" walk, looking at his surroundings and pretending to be a regular tourist looking to escape the vegas heat.

listen he is in all-black, even if it doesn't make him overly warm he can play the part. ]

[myadsharp]

[Hmhmmmm, well, it is a high-class area -- that much is easy to tell at a glance, so it's a toss-up once again whether they're just guarding their own goods or the all-important treasure back there. He'll take note of the various types of security, checking to see if there are guards and setups that are different from the others in any way that stands out.

He's not going to do a loop through every store, but he'll at least look around and keep his ears peeled too -- particularly for staff or even tourist gossip. Mostly he'll amble about and do ooh-ahh tourist things because he really is a wide-eyed tourist in some ways, this place just keeps getting crazier.

Also, I'm not sure what the view on the outside is like, but the lake and stuff is around here too, right?]

[becomemod]

[ For Whisper: Security looks like regular security for a casino. There are a few people dressed in uniform looking over the floor. It seems like one is walking the perimeter of the casino counter clockwise, and another is walking through the floor itself.

A goat in a magician's robe is heading somewhere to the north.

There is the cashier's box, with a guard right next to it. But no employee or security access doors here.

For Nico: There's a group of teenagers in sports uniforms, they're going straight to the registration desk. There's a giraffe in a nice hat that's heading to the west (somehow they fit through the entrance). Some humans are going north and west from his entrance.

If he's going down the promenade, it doesn't look like there are a lot of people going this way.

Hans: There doesn't really seem to be any security that looks different than the others here. Plenty of security walking around, but they don't seem to linger too long in any one place.

The lake of dreams is indeed this direction, and he can look out at it if he'd like. ]

[ i am fascinated by this goat. whisper is going to quietly follow the goat.

except i rolled a 1. so. i gUESS STEALTH ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. ]

[becomemod]

[ The goat spots her and immediately disappears into the crowd.

Goodbye mage goat. ]

[wispons]

[ noooooooooooo my 1!!!!

she tries to not make it obvious that she is trying to follow after the goat, but it's no use - the goat is gone.

she will still head north, however, towards the lounge marked on the map to see if there's anything else of note. ]

[becomemod]

[ There seems to be something metal on the water, but she can't quite see exactly what it is from here. ]

[wispons]

[ well.

i guess she's getting in the water.

yes in her thief outfit and everything. WHAT ARE YOU MYSTERIOUS METAL OBJECT ]

[becomemod]

[ There she goes.

She gets a little bit too close and the cage snaps shut on her.

She currently in a human sized racoon trap, but the bars are spaced so she cannot get out. ]

[wispons]

[ i. WELL. OKAY!!! THAT HAPPENS.

she is going to be calm... she is going to be calm............ it's fine........

it really isn't fine but she doesn't know how to get out. THAT IS until she retrieves the file from her kit and starts filing away at the cage wire. ]

[myadsharp]

[All right, then! He'll mosey over to the Lake of Dreams vista and get a look at what's going on out there -- same deal, security details on the outside of the building, whether anything looks like it may be unusual or more guarded or not on the map, what the state of the lake and people are and whether anyone's acting odd.

Also, still keeping his ears perked for any interesting tidbits from passersby, staff or otherwise.]

[becomemod]

[ It's hard to say what's out on the Lake of Dreams, the sunlight is really creating a glare. There are definitely people out there... Hans is pretty sure there's people out there.

There's a few people chatting about the show tonight and how they're so excited to hear the orchestra. Somebody else is complaining about how early they need to be to the airport tomorrow. ]

[myadsharp]

[Can he do a quick jaunt out to the lake to see if these are like, people or statues or trees or furries or what -- he's also kind of curious to see why it's called the Lake of Dreams, really, but he won't tourist too much on limited time. His sweep will end at the nightclub in that direction, anyway.

He'll do the same double-checks for security and map areas once he's out there, along with keeping a weather eye on the crowd.

It's kind of nice getting some fresh air, too, considering how crowded it is indoors. Even the Vegas sun is probably a bit more bearable lakeside.]

[becomemod]

[ There's people just hanging out around the water, and an otter in a Hawaiian shirt. A few statues are also here.

The nightclub doesn't seem to be open just yet. There's protective bars around its entrance. ]

[myadsharp]

[Well......... he's going to check out a few of the statues to see if there's anything fun or unusual about them, like, is one pointing mysteriously at a hidden door or who-knows-what -- it's a cover for getting closer to the otter, but due to luck curse his tail gets tangled with a statue somehow and he gets stuck there for a couple minutes. Yay.

This is what he gets for being vain (furry).

His next move would be to shimmy away and peek through the nightclub bars inconspicuously to blend back into the crowd, but we'll see if the otter yeets first.]

[becomemod]

[ The otter is just vibing, man. It's a nice(?) Vegas day. It's hot, they slip into the pool and...

Also gets stuck in a human sized raccoon trap. ]

[myadsharp]

... Mya-meow???

[It is an extremely bizarre sequence of events to see an otter in a Hawaiian shirt attempt to swim and then somehow get stuck in a raccoon trap in a pool meant for swimming. What is the hotel doing to its supposed tourists. Hans just sort of stares in bemusement for a moment before...... scratching his head and looking around as though to say, day in the Vegas life??

He's going to stroll over to peek at the nightclub to see if there's anything unusual there, but keep half an eye on the otter in the trap to see if anyone else actually reacts.

Also to see the otter's own reaction.]

[resumed]

[ okay. he's going to kind of ignore the teenagers because he thinks if they're actually checking into the hotel they probably are going to be busy for a while and are actually tourists. instead, he sees the giraffe and the humans heading west (keeping track of the ones going north as well) and decides he may as well head west to kill two birds with one stone, basically. he will follow the giraffe and the humans west.

is there anything particular about this giraffe? actually, are they a real giraffe? or is it a very convincing furry? do the humans and giraffe look as though they're going the same way west? i rolled a 14 so i guess he is marginally successful at tracking after them? ]

[becomemod]

[ It's impossible to lose sight of a giraffe. They're a real giraffe with a nice hat and they're wearing a loosely fitted jacket. Giraffes are so tall.

This group kind of looks like they're going the same way west for a little while, but eventually they split up. Some of the humans go into the casino floor somewhere, the rest he loses, and the giraffe goes north. ]

[resumed]

[ he can always loop back to the casino later, he thinks. he loses the other humans but he is following the giraffe. are they heading north like how the other group of humans were going north? he will continue to follow and see if he can find those additional people from before, trying to get a senes of where they're going. ]

[becomemod]

[ They might be. Hard to say where the other humans going north were heading towards.

This giraffe, however, is going to the buffet. ]

[resumed]

[ i guess he will tail the giraffe and check out the buffet anyway. it's close to lunch time, so he is exploring. how busy is the buffet right now? what's the layout of the room look like? is the giraffe going to eat alone, or are they looking to meet someone maybe? ]

[becomemod]

[ The buffet looks fairly busy. They seem to be in the middle of changing out breakfast for lunch options. The buffet room itself is huge. There's a massive amount of offerings over here.

The giraffe is meeting up with a red panda in a business suit. ]

[resumed]

[ anyway this fucking sucks that it's busy because it means he's going to probably end up getting swept up in the lunch rush and also escorted into the buffet line. he is trying to watch the giraffe and the panda!!! wait!!!

a plate is pushed into his hands by someone monitoring the buffet and because he's watching, he fucking drops it.

IT'S FINE HE IS QUICKLY BLENDING IN TO PRETEND HE'S JUST A FOOL, A PEON.


are the giraffe and red panda staying for lunch. ]
