party at the bellagio

what's up?

The aurors who have found themselves invited to Friday night's party were briefed by the Oddtrees before heading out. Eleanor reminds them tersely that they are attending to work, not to have fun. After she leaves the room, Everett contrarily advises them that having fun and forming genuine bonds with important art world contacts is the work. Nobody gives them an appropriate drink maximum, so that's up to their own discretion.

Liberatore Rubio spares no fucking expense when it comes to his lavish parties, thrown out of the Chairman Suite of the Bellagio hotel. The theme of the night is ✨Mysterious Fates✨, everything is decorated in a pseudo-Roman style, and the party features such amenities as an open bar, a tarot-card reader who claims to be an actual Seeress, and a fireworks show off the balcony at midnight.

Everyone who's anyone in the Las Vegas art scene is here, which means that there's a good chance somebody knows something about the robbery. Where to start with the colorful assortment of characters is anyone's guess.

how this works!

⬥ This IC/OOC is open to the following characters: Rory Howlan (and his plus one), Sidney Rucker, Sloan Silversmith, Llewyn Llewellyn, Wendelin Sparks, Ichabod Godfrey, Linden Krup, Rosamund Urquhart, Indigo Blue, Remora Statler, and Verity Fortuin. To some aurors' surprise and delight/horror, Arden Oddtree is also here and undercover.

⬥ There are a handful of interesting guests at this party. Every auror can talk to one of them and receive a maximum of ten replies from the NPC account. Multiple aurors can talk to the same NPC if you want, but there are more guests than there are aurors present, so you'll have to pick carefully!

⬥ Any character who reveals themselves to be an auror risks having their cover blown, which will make performing covert operations against certain NPCs more difficult in the future (although not impossible thanks to disguise and concealment techniques).

The Life of the Party & Josie

"I looove your makeup," Rosie as Josephine gushes. She gazes at the stunning pink-haired woman in the mirror as she smooths her own blond waves and pops her freshly painted lips together. "Are you a makeup artist? Goodness, you're gorgeous."

"Thank you," the girl says, clearly affected by the compliment. Also, clearly drunk. "I'm not like, a professional or anything. I'm like, you know, self taught. But it's easier than it looks really!"

She fluffs her own hair into a chaotic cotton-candy mess and stumbles back a step on her very tall high heels as she considers Rosie to offer her a compliment in kind. "I like your shoes!" she settles on.

"Thank you," she mimics, kicking up one foot like a Princess experiencing True Love's Kiss. "They're thrifted. Found art, y'know?" An innocuous lie that she hopes might endear her to someone who identifies as self-taught.

"I'm Josie," she introduces herself in a flawless Tennessee accent. "What's your name, shug?"

"Persephone," the girl says (or at least, this is what it sounds like she says). She offers her hand to shake but doesn't wait for Josie to accept the gesture before she starts talking again. "Are you from out of town? Where's the accent from?"
