【 Thank you for choosing the Golden Peacock, 5-star resort and casino. You are currently registered as a WILDCARD in our system.
Due to a high volume of check-ins, temporary accommodations have been made in our mid-rank suites for all new arrivals. We ask current mid-rank guests to welcome any new arrivals that may temporarily be assigned to their room while we process reservations.
Exciting news! The Phoenix Casino has undergone a renovation. Guests are invited to come enjoy refreshed facilities, games, and lounges. We don't think you'll ever want to leave!
Additionally, the casino will be hosting an upper rank soiree at the end of the month. All guests rank 9 and above are invited to attend. Any +1s of low rank may only attend as a pet or personal attendant. Otherwise, low ranks are not welcome.
We aim to have all guests moved into their suites as soon as possible. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience! 】

[Casinos are not his thing. Honestly, betting and luck are overall, not his thing, but a chip payout is a chip payout. Jayce sits at one of the Dirty Dice tables, biting his lower lip as he debates even going through with this or not, muttering to himself:]
Some of them aren’t even that bad. Compliment and hold- those are fine. Worship, cuddle… also fine…
RED MACHINE
[(RNG 10+8+1)
After striking out twice now, he’s hoping for better luck on this next try:]
Hey! Are you a Hearts? If you are, I need to tell you something. Uh. Under there.
[He gestures to one of the poker tables.]
LOUNGE
[And that’s enough of casino time for now. The lounge is much more his speed, even if it involves random dates— totally fine. He’s about two drinks deep already when he’s joined by someone else, and he gives his best charming smile (that winds up looking a little sloppy due to said drinks). A quick glance down to the Date Night Questions card as they take their seat.]
So. What's the one thing that you seem to constantly lose?
WILDCARD
[DM me or send me a message on plurk (@ vendingmachine) if you want a unique prompt!]
[In the time that Jayce takes to glance down at his notes, Dodger decides he actually doesn't want to sit across from him, and he instead slides into Jayce's lap to straddle him. He smells more like alcohol than usual, but apparently not enough to act drunk.]
Hey, pretty boy.
[At this point it's just becoming an affectionate nickname.]
[Jayce on the other hand, seems a little more tipsy than usual even if it's just been a couple of drinks. He's about to be on his third once Dodger slides into his lap, and the nickname does wonders at bringing a flush to his face.]
[He does feel pretty proud of himself for earning that blush. Dodger takes a moment to light a cigarette, before settling in to play with Jayce's hair. He is, at least, making some level of effort to blow his smoke away from the older man's face.]
And as long as I'm here you get a break from having to meet new people. Lucky you.
[Like he isn't absolutely the one who needs a break from new people.]
Another one of mine? Don't you have plenty as it is?
[The blush stays a little longer, enjoying his hair being played with as he picks up that third drink- a cocktail this time, something sweet and fruity.]
Sounds more like an excuse for you to keep me to yourself.
[Jayce takes a long sip of his cocktail, savoring the flavor. Sometimes a guy wants some fruity shit okay? And he's seen the attention that higher ranked people get. Had enough time in the spotlight to want nothing to do with it again.]
We... could if you want that.
[He's had a lot of thoughts from things Dodger's said in passing lately that he wanted to interrogate.]
[That catches Dodger's interest, and he files the information away. It makes some sense - Jayce has been in positions of privilege and doesn't feel great about it. But he's seen how the Fives live, his shitty apartment back home is probably equivalent to an Eight suite. So he can't imagine not aiming a little higher.]
Sure. I've been-...
[He hesitates, and takes a drink from his bottle.]
[He doesn't have his notebook, he's decidedly not sober, and he's ... somewhat preoccupied from events at the casino, but he's not going to turn Dodger down if he wants to work through something.]
[There's a pause at first, while Dodger tries to decide exactly how to talk about this. Because he doesn't want to give too much away, but he doesn't want to be completely obtuse either.]
...I had a... falling out, I guess, with Esikko Bloemrose. Back in January, that's why I told you dropping my name wouldn't get you anything. I figured he would keep shit to himself, so I kept shit to myself, 'cause I didn't want to-... I didn't want to make things worse. Than I already did. But he's been running his mouth about private shit that I trusted him with, and every time someone comes to fact-check his story with me they bring it up, or they-... they bring up other shit they shouldn't know. And I can't do shit about it because he'd just pop right back up if I killed him, and because... he can shut my powers off. So I'm just... stuck. With no direction, and this fucking thorn in my side making everything worse the longer I leave him alone.
[He's talked about this a little with Henry already, so it isn't quite as fresh of a wound. But he's been dealing with it for months now, and it's hard to hide the hurt in his expression. He wants to just be angry about it, but he wouldn't be drinking this often and seeking comfort if it wasn't eating him up.]
( after escaping the never ending nightmare that was shopping, reira finally began to go around the resort to see if anything had changed in her absence, if she was able to find anyone she recognized.
she hadn't really spent too much time with jayce prior to her disappearance, but she remembered that voice and boyish good looks anywhere. also the dice game? it was the exact same one she'd gotten wrapped up in when she first arrived. )
Jayce?!
( she began to run towards him as fast as her high heels and tight red dress allowed and when she reached him, she looked at him softly. )

Never hurts to have extras. If you rank yourself up I'll have to find a new supply of cards that match with Viktor's.
[Which might mean resorting to making things up with Esikko. Awful.
Dodger pauses to ask a staff memory for a bottle of whiskey. He's still not used to how quickly they respond, now that he's an Eight.]
...We could always turn this into my next therapy session, instead. Alcohol's good for loosening me up.

It is you, do you remember me?

[He stands up from the table, completely pulled from his thoughts on the game as she comes running toward him.]
Of course I remember you! Why wouldn't I?
