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.

[That was the exact opposite from what Morph suggested, but hey, if that's what he wanted then they weren't going to argue.]
There's a bar here, but I don't know if you're old enough for that kind of a bad habit. Otherwise, if you want to think less, you gotta be busy enough to keep your mind occupied. Time for a new hobby?
no subject
he shrugs.]
I mean, Aldrip doesn't really have an age limit on alcohol. I've had it a few times.
[he considers the hobby part, though...]
What do you like to do for a hobby?
no subject
[Despite their usual attitude, Morph can be responsible when they want to be! So that one does make them wonder. What kind of 'prison planet' didn't have things like drinking laws...]
Well, I've been keeping up with my training as much as I can, and I'm really into finding new bad movies to watch. I can't really do it here, but I also keep up with celebrity gossip to make sure my impressions stay up to date. Otherwise my buddy drags me to dive bars a lot, so that's sort of like a hobby.
no subject
Dive bars, huh?
[but then he pauses.]
What kind of training do you do? Do you have powers?
no subject
[Within seconds, they shapeshift into a shorter, squatter, and more heavily muscled man, sporting a yellow costume lined with stripes. Sure, Morph could just explain their powers, but in person it's more fun to demonstrate.
It's not their voice that comes out of their mouth now, but a lower one that has an undertone like a growl,]
Combat training, mostly. I'm a shapeshifter, bub. And I'm the best at what I do.
[No one tell Mystique about that boast, or Morph might really be in trouble.]
