AUGUST EVENT: DRAGSTRIP RIOT
[it begins with a PA announcement on the morning of the 12th, Friday’s voice coming through clear and cheerful.]
Any passengers that wish to debark to our latest port of call can exit the ship through the metal detectors on deck zero! Please be advised that all alcohol will be confiscated prior to your exit!
[and whoever heads down to the lowest deck will find that what she said was true: there is a metal detector set up there, with Friday manning it. after placing all metal objects (including weapons, and all your weapons) onto the tray, she gestures for the passenger to step through the metal detector.
they exit in an entirely different location. suffering from a splitting headache, and wearing an entirely different outfit than they had put on this morning, but unscathed. they even got their weapons back!
the interior of the diner is essentially your average jonathan rockets establishment. the narrow lane between booths and counter is manned by an entirely mute Friday clone, who cheerily takes orders and serves up food (cooked??? somewhere???) with an almost unnatural talent for roller blading. there is a jukebox in the corner that can be fed with quarters passengers will inexplicably find on their person. the available songs range from the 50s to the 80s, with a particularly wide selection of songs from the platters.
outside, the diner is a great chrome boxcar, circled by a small parking lot. a large neon sign proclaims it to be GIL’S; it buzzes and flickers on and off often. passengers who have regained vehicles will find these vehicles parked outside. there are also a handful of midcentury American cars; none of them seem to require keys, and the gas tank seems set at full.
past the parking lot is a seemingly endless expanse of desert sand and scrubland, bisecting by the empty highway that the diner abuts. a few miles down this highway, the road forks into a smaller one, which winds its way up a steep, ragged mountain until plateauing into another parking lot, with only a small, old wooden fence between the cars and the edge of the cliff.
should they wish to return to the ship, passengers can leave at any time the same way they entered: walking through a doorway that now claims to be a mop closet. passing through will leave them on deck zero, again with a splitting headache. it’s probably fine.]

"A distillery? Are you able to consume alcohol?"
no subject
And several other things, but they don't seem quite as relevant.
"I'm sure you're aware of how much humans love to be parted from their money, needless to say the casino is the bulk of my portfolio."
no subject
"I'm well aware. I've been known to gamble a time or two. I would be quite the bane of your establishment, I suspect, since I am not as easily parted from my own funds." Technically true, since often times he's gambling with The State's money while under cover on missions.
no subject
"Assuming time has continued to progress without me I'm going to return to them in complete shambles. Well, my businesses, most investments should be safeguarded enough to prevent anything catastrophic." They should be anyway, and his tone betrays more of that then he'd like.
Max steeples his fingers, eyes narrowing as he studies 6, "Everyone thinks that of themselves, so feel free to maintain that level of confidence. I'd be intrigued to watch that honestly."
Watch him lose and get angry about it, is what he means.
no subject
"Challenge me to a hand any time and see for yourself."
no subject
"Gladly. I trust you'll at least be somewhat of a challenge."
good to wrap up here?
"Yes. That, you can trust."
He glances over Max's car again and then shrugs. "Some other time, perhaps. When you are less occupied."
/Thumbs up
He inclines his head politely. Too politely even. "Yes I am rather busy, I'll be sure to give you my full attention next time."
And with that he turns back to his car. Which is just so much more interesting than the actual person he was talking with.
TY! End~
