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).

A Lazy Waiter (Just kidding it's Remora++)

[suckerfish]

The long-limbed, dark-haired young man-waiter is probably going to get fired after tonight. The party is in full swing, and everyone seems to be more in the mood to fetch drinks from the bar instead of worrying about the miniature food going around in trays. Which is just fine for the boy, perching on the top of a couch, taking just one unauthorized break to do his fallback job; looking around for the most interesting person in the room to speak with.

No one jumps out. Or more problematically, everyone does. Everyone except the very familiar co-worker who passes by and gets a tray of crab cakes and mini tacos shoved in their face. "Soak up that booze." It's probably code to see how the investigation's going. He's working.

A Lazy Waiter & A Hungry Bear

[youbetcha]

A bear happily shoves her snout into the tray and snatches up multiple mini tacos. This is the first waiter to so willingly offer it a tray of snacks, and it's not going to waste the opportunity. In fact, it could just take the whole tray to ensure none of these goodies wind up in the garbage. Preventing food waste is soooooo important.

It's big bear paws take hold of the tray sides and look up at the young man-waiter with big (actually, normal sized) pleading bear eyes. "Raaoouu?"
