FREE NIGHT AT THE CASINO
GAMBLING
Feeling down after that space infestation made you murder some friends? Getting tempted to bury yourself in the sand at the beach so no one can ever perceive you again?
Time for a tone shift! It's a free night at the casino. For tonight only, chips mean nothing -- which means everyone gets a rack of chips when they walk in and can let loose! Entertainment, food, and drink are also free within reason. (Abuse the privilege and find out who works security here the hard way!)
Welcome to Queens, the formerly shady but now revamped and reimagined casino in the entertainment district of Aldrip. Classy and minimalist but not gaudy, it's run, staffed, and heavily patronized by Chosen. Maybe you know someone who works there, maybe someone dragged you in to lighten up for once, maybe you're just stopping by for some fun.
Appropriately, the most popular game of the night is Queen's Blood, with tables set aside purely for teaching. There's also the standard casino games available in spades -- poker, slots, roulette, baccarat, blackjack, and so forth.

AT THE CLUB
It wouldn't be a casino without alcohol, music, and dancing. There's a low-key bar for those looking to have a conversation where they can hear one another over the pleasant live jazz, and a much livelier dance floor set off to the side in a different part of the casino with a DJ playing dance music.
FIGHTING TOURNAMENT
Beneath the casino is a massive underground cavern converted into a fighting arena.
It's a bit hard to find, intentionally -- either you were personally invited by someone or you stumbled across the covert speakeasy-style entrance in a corner of the main floor, possibly from the people jostling to go in and out. The stairs go down and down until they suddenly open out into the huge room, lined in walkways to view the fight.
There's three circuits to the fighting tournament: a bracket for fighting with powers, a bracket for fighting without powers (hand-to-hand and weapons only), and a shooting competition. Toph (fieldtrip) serves as referee for all of the above and is prepared to break up anything that goes too far. This is just for fun, folks!
Sign up in the comment below and maybe you'll even win something! Toph promises a super cool prize to the winner of each circuit!

FORTUNE TELLING
Get a free tarot reading!
It does seem like some of the glitching in Aldrip has made it maybe a little more accurate than usual lately... or maybe that's inaccurate? Feel free to have the cards have a real effect on them with a glitch!

DOG THERAPY
In one peaceful corner away from the din and bustle is a dog petting station. All manner of adorable and highly trained dogs are available for cuddles and play time.
Some of them are even up for adoption if you want to take one home!
Kakashi (battlefieldbrat) runs and operates this station with the kind supervision of Koromaru, our local good boy.

Still, this place seemed on the up and up, and after everything that had happened last month, everyone in town deserved a chance to chill and have fun. She even dressed up, her favorite leather jacket on top. Nothing like a new dress and a face of makeup to hide how much the last few weeks had fucking sucked.
She's just wandering around watching everything happening when she spots Quill, waving back and approaching curiously.]
Sure, but you're going to have to teach me how to play.
[Her dad was a cop. And she was a nerd. Like hell did she know the first thing about card games that weren't bought at the local gaming stores.]

What, you've never played blackjack before? It's easy! Basically, you wanna get as close to 21 without going over. Face cards are worth 10 points, and aces are wild, so they can be 1 or 11
[ Unfortunately for him, if she's a real nerd she might count cards and wipe the floor with him. ]
You just have to beat the house, so it's easy to win. I mean, it's all luck -- but the odds are pretty good in this one.
no subject
She listens, all the same, as he explains how to play, tilting her head. Sounds easy enough. And unfortunately for Quill, she is exactly that level of nerd.]
I take it no uno reserve when you get a bad card? [She's kidding-- Uno is a completely different, way more aggressive card game than this.]
