Russé PL: 1,800
On a bright mid afternoon, Russé flew among the clouds coated by his aura of Ki, gunning through the air like a jet plane heading for Central City. His path of vigilantism set's his sighs on Black Jackal a casino owned by the CEO Jinn, for a long time he has despise the man for owning a lot of money and deciding to use it for villainy when the poor are the ones who really need it the most. He hasn't met the guy so his hatred could very well be misguided, in his mind all evil are the same, it didn't matter who they are. Bottom Line is, there are starving people out there and Jinn is hogging all of the money for himself, why haven't the Pride Troopers brought him down if its known to the world he is a bad guy? Why is his corporation still standing after all of the bad things Russ's heard about? He will get his answers soon as his destination is getting larger in his vision itching closer towards the building, he would disperse his Ki aura and descend on the ground in front of the entrance. This is it, the fortress of the worlds most dangerous villain, having to actually be in front of the casino sends a chill down his spine, its just like walking into a lions den. He pushed open the door and walked inside the complex, he spotted slot machines, pool tables, a table for playing cards and a bar, typical casino stuff, he preferred to distance himself from casino as they aren't his cup of tea, however its an opportunity to snag some Zenni if he chose to blend in with everyone else. Question is..where to start? Russé would approach one of the slot machines to play a game, in doing so he is exchanges glances around the casino for any sight of that dog in a suit. |

Morticia's PL: 25,000
While Morticia wasn't one for Casino's herself, she was starting to become a lot more familiar and used to Jinn's Black Jackal one, it'd become just like visiting any of her friends places at this point. It essentially was visiting a friend to her now anyway! Today she'd visited to tell Jinn about her last venture out as her villain self, and to see how he was doing just in general, he was a kind individual despite being her boss in villainy essentially, and all visits to see him tended to lift her mood too. It made her smile about how excited he'd get over most things and if talking about her encounters with Makaimorph could make him even the least bit happier, then they were worth talking about. Talking today had been shorter though as the two had opted to a game of cards eventually as well, so their chatter was kept between games. Jinn at the moment had been sweating a bit, his poker face during these card games wasn't the best one, but she sure as hell didn't have it in her heart to tell him that, it only mattered to her that he was having fun with it anywho! Since she'd become so relaxed with this environment and it was essentially a safe place for her as a villain, she had chosen today to lax up a little on her villainous form, and at the moment only had her hood and basic outfit on as well as her different tail formed, but her wings and horns weren't morphed to look how they did when she transformed and her face mask was sat atop the table the two were playing cards at for the moment. This was a bit of a mistake though as she would soon figure out. " Go fish! Wait-- Did we start playing Poker already? Or are we-" She paused as a familiar face with blue coloured hair caught her eye, it was only briefly but it was enough to get her to panic lightly about not being fully concealed. She wasn't fully sure if it was who she thought it was, as he was over by the pool tables and bar when she spotted him, but she wasn't about to risk it and would promptly place the mask back on her face as she magic upped her horns and wings properly, before then finishing with changing her eyes over as well. Once fully formed she tried to keep an eye out for the half saiyan, knowing this wasn't the sort of place he'd be found in usually. Just what was he up to? |

Jinn’s PL: 5,000
Stella’s PL: 5,000
This was bad. Jinn nervously glanced at his hand. Really bad. He had a four of hearts and an eight of clubs. Should he fold? He should fold, right? No, no, no… if he could just maybe… if the next card that got turned was a four or an eight, he could work with a pair! A pair would save him. When Morticia spoke up, he managed to tear her eyes off the cards to give her a somewhat amused smile. Maybe he shouldn’t worry so much. This wasn’t for money, and, even if it was, he shouldn’t let himself get so nervous. He knew his poker face was flawless, so Morticia probably was none the wiser to his inner torment. “Ah, yes. West City Hold ‘Em actually… you remember how to play this one?”His ears flicked when he heard someone enter. There weren’t too many patrons at this hour. It was still pretty early. A quick glance told him that it was a Saiyan. Not an uncommon sight in Central City. Somewhat familiar though. Jinn couldn’t quite place him. Shrugging to himself, Jinn adjusted the red tie to his black suit and looked over at Morticia who had surprisingly gone on guard. He tilted his head at her, somewhat puzzled. Perhaps… she knew him? He didn’t have too long to puzzle over it before a tap on his shoulder brought him back to reality. “Ah! Stella!”Beside him was a lithe, blonde beauty. She was dressed in her usual kimono garb, holding a tray of treats and drinks. Stella smiled in a friendly way to Jinn and then curiously at Morticia. She set the tray down the table and then took a seat herself beside Jinn. “How nice to meet you at last. I’ve heard so much about you from Mister Jinn. I’m Stella, his.. hm… bodyguard and assistant. I owe him much.”“Nonsense! You could actually stand to work less than what you do… but! Erm… Thank you for bringing us some refreshments.”Jinn’s ears drooped a little when Stella took some herbal tea from the tray and set it in from of him expectantly. He didn’t like herbal tea at all. He like chocolate. Even though it made him feel queasy and sick. It was delicious! When Stella gave him that look that said he’d get an earful later, he wrapped his scaly hands around the cup and sipped. That seemed to pacify Stella for the moment. Ugh. So yucky. Stella had said it was for his healthy, but he didn’t think everything good for you had to taste so awful. In an effort to divert attention away from his tea, he flicked his ears forward. “So have you met any of the other members yet? I haven’t heard from them myself in a while admittedly. They’re good sorts. Ah, and construction is coming along. Though Stella is suggesting that it would be best to work on training facilities before the lazy river… I’m not so sure. But she may have a point…” |

Russé PL: 1,800
Energy Sense
Russé inserted a coin into the machine and pulled the level, images on three rows rotated exceedingly fast then gradually come to a crawl and then stopping on three different fruit images. [Tch, Damn..] he cursed internally in the mind, no zeni dropped from the socket indicating he wasn't lucky, not surprising on his first try. it didn't upset him too much, he could simply try it again, before he thinks about going for another shot, his eyes directed his focus on the three individuals playing cards on a table. Peeking his head halfway from the machine to get a better look, he narrowed his eyes at the mere sight of the black canine, his presence draws a sort of tunnel vision for the half saiyan targeting the big boss himself, Jinn. [There he is, the man I'm looking for..] his thoughts were loud enough to take over speaking, his eyes shifted on all three of them, from the moth woman he never saw before, the greedy son of a bitch, and finally the one person he never wanted to see again, Greiveila, who seems to be the only one aware of an intruder and looking right at him. Oh Shit! Russé quickly pulled his head away then focused back on the unfettered slot machine, legs are trembling in fear, it didn't stop him from inserting another coin in the socket and pull the level once again, sweat began to trickle down his cheek watching the wheels spin. [What is SHE doing here!? Did she found me out? So much for subtly, damn that woman, her being here threw a monkey wrench in my plan..what am I going to do?] he thought, he cant just confront them now with her there, never forgetting their encounter, however he could use this opportunity to overhear their conversation. The wheels spin into three bars and a moderate amount of coins dropped from the socket then Russé scooped them up and put them in a bag he brought with him, guess there was one silver lining in all this, but the real prize is getting information about Jinn's diabolical scheme. Russé placed a coin into the slot machine for a third time then pulled the lever, he kept an ear trained on the trio of villains. From what he could gather it sounds like they are just enjoying a game of cards and that moth woman is called Stella who is a bodyguard, it didn't deter Russé away from the conversation, there HAS to be more than that. [Construction?...Training facilities? That's what he's building? I wonder how strong Jinn and his bodyguard are, as for that vile woman I still cant sense her energy..] thinking to himself, he attempted to sense their boss and his security's Ki to gauge their strength while keeping his eye on the slot machine. |

"Oh! West City Hold, it's been a while since I've played this one, would you be okay to go over it just this once for me?" Card games weren't her strong point she had to admit, but she was slowly getting better at them, all thanks to Jinn! Of course card games weren't the only thing he was helping with though, but they were a nice break to the other things involved.
Morticia noticed her boss' confused head tilt after she'd costumed up upon noticing Russe enter, she would have to explain in a bit though as before she got the chance to, Jinn's lovely assistant, Stella showed up! Bringing with her a tray of treats, when she looked Morticia's way the girl would give her a small but friendly wave. "It's a pleasure! That would make two of us" She'd smile but her mask covered most of it, Jinn had done plenty for her too so she also felt like she owed him a great deal at this point. "Your outfit is lovely by the way Stella" She'd add before also giving a nod of thanks after Jinn thanked her for the refreshments.
Jinn didn't seem too happy about the herbal tea he was given though and Morticia guessed that this was probably because it wasn't something like the sweets he enjoyed, villain or no he did seem to have quite the sweet tooth! She didn't blame him though, chocolate was delicious, maybe she could slip him some as a gift later? Personally, she didn't quite mind herbal tea herself, being from a family of gardeners sometimes they even did home made ones but it had been some time since she'd gotten to have some of it...
"O-oh! Not quite, I think I tend to get myself busy whenever they're free but I hope I can meet more of them soon" The fact he hadn't heard from them for a while was a bit concerning but she was sure they had their reasons. "Both would be wonderful to have, but Stella may have a point!" Morticia seemed to fiddle and fidget in her seat a bit, casting glances around the establishment to catch a glimpse of the Saiyan from before whom seemed to be at a slot machine now. She of course, out of costume knew about Russe's situation or at least did a little bit, but it didn't seem like him to come to a place like this to try and fix it.
Now was probably a good time to answer her boss' confusion from earlier before anything too major happened, so swiftly she would casually get to her feet and steadily walk to where Jinn and Stella were seated, leaning down between them and keeping her voice down before explaining; "The Saiyan with blue hair that walked in not a moment ago is a friend of mine out of costume, but I've fought him before in costume as well, he got backed up by that Pride Trooper, Makaimorph. It's odd for him to be here, I'd keep an eye out" And with that she'd stand back up and move back towards her side of the table, her black pointed tipped tail snaking along behind her. Acting as though she hadn't seen the Saiyan at all, "Would it be okay if I had a cup as well? Will Stella be joining our game too?" If she played it as though she hadn't noticed him walk in, maybe Russe would feel less provoked to act out on whatever he had in mind to do here. Either way, she knew she'd be giving him an earful out of costume later on.. Coming into a known villain hot spot all by himself without even telling her? She hoped for his sake he at least had told Tysco, just what was he thinking!?

Jinn’s ears drooped a little when Morticia conceded that Stella had a point. Alas, she was wise as she was well traveled. Training facilities first and then the lazy river. He should draft up the plans after this. Picking up a deck of cards, Jinn idly shuffled it with the expertise of a long time card player. Maybe he should cordon the headquarters off into districts. The relaxation district, training… perhaps he should include some personnel quarters for if his members needed a place to crash. Residential district then too.
So distracted Jinn was by his musings that he almost missed it when Morticia abruptly changed the topic. Something about a hero being in his establishment. Jinn’s ears perked straight up at the news. This was wonderful! How exciting! Well, if it was a fight that he had come for, Jinn could definitely provide that! Still, he was Morticia’s friend, so he wanted to be mindful of her feelings.
“Ah, yes, understood.”
Jinn glanced over as surreptitiously as he could manage just to get a look at this blue haired Saiyan. He wondered how he got his hair that color. Maybe he dyed it. Stella abruptly cut off his line of sight as she moved in front of him and gave him a look. Jinn hastily returned his attention to his cards. Perhaps he had been a little obvious. Stella passed a cup of tea over to Morticia and smiled graciously at her.
“I hope you enjoy it. It’s my special blend.”
Stella sat between Jinn and Morticia, eyeing Jinn’s untouched tea disapprovingly. Sheepishly, he took another sip before shuffling the cards in earnest. Jinn knew how to cheat at playing cards of course, but he would never do such a thing at a table with friends. It only occasionally helped him anyway. For some reason, his opponents had an uncanny knack for knowing when to fold and calling his bluffs. Strange, but regardless.
“Alrighty, I’ll go over a few rules now.”
Jinn went over how the game was played. A player could call, raise, check, or fold. Alternatively, they could go all in, which was a raise with all their chips. There would be three rounds and then a showdown provided there were still more than one player in play. Simple stuff. Stella looked a little confused, but Jinn was sure it would all make sense in time. Usually these things took maybe one or two rounds to get into the swing of.
“I’ll have to start construction soon. Hopefully, we’ll get more members for the League after it’s all done. I’m so looking forward to spreading villainy! Mm! What do you think of expanding out to the other cities by the by? West City, East City and so on.”

Russé wasn't lucky this time as the slot machine stopped spinning, he then decided to move to another slot machine that's adjacent to the one he played. Knowing how these things work its not a good idea to keep playing the same machine after being lucky once. He was a little farther away from the trio of villains but still within earshot to hear what Jinn planned to do.
{Jinn and his bodyguard are much stronger than I am, dealing with them wont be easy, that hood witch is a problem to deal with already...should I make my move?} his thoughts are tainted by the black smokes of doubt over his crazy decision to come to this place, maybe he should have brought in backup to pull of this stunt, but its too late now he's made his bed and now he has to lie in it.
Wanting to disperse away any doubt by focusing on the machine, the half saiyan pulled on the lever after putting in another coin and the spinning wheels landed on triple sevens. probably the luckiest he has been so far. He placed the money in his bag, collecting enough to satisfy his needs, he slug the bag over his shoulder then turned his attention to the evil-doers on the table and approached them with caution and putting some distance between himself and the table in front, he gave them all a glare showing he means business.
"So your planning to gather more members for your league and spread villainy, and your constructing training facilities too? Whats your endgame Jinn?" he demanded answers while keeping a firm grip on his sack of zeni. He may be outmatched in power but that doesn't mean he is going to turn tail and run away just yet!
