[Day 3 - EN] The Party Box

[Gauss]

~~snip~~

He extends his hand to meet hers, and matched her eyes as he shook her hand gently before letting go, keeping his gaze on her for a moment or two before smiling. <"You have heard of my exploits in the field, I see. Yeah, that was something. Still got some growing to do with the fight scene, but I like how I ended the year. Figure this year I learn from the best around me, maybe save some lives and be the hero mami always saw me being. Did not pick you as a fan of the EFL at first glance, but that just makes you all the more impressive to me.>"

He turns to the bartender and smiles. "Mohito, please." He continues on in English. "Well, this puts me at a huge disadvantage, Ynez. You know some things about me, and here I am, knowing nothing but your name. What is it that you do, Ynez?"

[Dapper Dog]

He turns to the bartender and smiles. "Mohito, please." He continues on in English. "Well, this puts me at a huge disadvantage, Ynez. You know some things about me, and here I am, knowing nothing but your name. What is it that you do, Ynez?"

Ynez listened, giving him her full attention. While the bartender made him a drink she responded, “I am a model, and I have worked with him,” she indicated Lil Disaster with her glass. Then she gestured toward Galatea with a warm smile and said, “And her, for a fabulous shoot.”

“I am curious, what got you into the EFL? And do you ever plan to go back?” she said with interest. She gracefully brushed some strands of hair aside. “I really loved your powerful offensive form.”

[Camilo Batista]

Camilo took a measured drink from his glass. It was something to be appreciated, not gulped. Since the drink bill was on Elite Chair tonight, he'd at least start off with the nice stuff. Once it started to kick in and taste didn't matter as much, then he'd escalate things a touch. He'd never tried to out drink someone the size of Golem, nor someone made of stone. The night could get very interesting. Even more so with Frankie I drinking... Was that something he should be worried about?

[Galatea]

She took on an Eastern European, Slavic accent and said in English, “I am new in town, on vacation. I am so excited to spend this evening with such famous and amazing people.”

''I am glad you had such an opportunity. The people here certainly are quite interesting'' she made a quick glance towards Ynez ''I feel like anything could happen.''

She pulled a card from somewhere

''I am thinking of starting my own agency. If modeling is something that interests you, give me a call''

[Gauss]

Ynez listened, giving him her full attention. While the bartender made him a drink she responded, “I am a model, and I have worked with him,” she indicated Lil Disaster with her glass. Then she gestured toward Galatea with a warm smile and said, “And her, for a fabulous shoot.”

“I am curious, what got you into the EFL? And do you ever plan to go back?” she said with interest. She gracefully brushed some strands of hair aside. “I really loved your powerful offensive form.”

He glanced over at Lil Disaster, someone he had yet to properly meet. After watching his content, he could probably hold off on that for a little while longer. His eyes then turned to Galatea, who was certainly hard not to notice, but again, not really talked to yet. Albeit that was just the lack of opportunity over a lack of interest. Either way, she one was harder to ignore of the two, what with the golden skin. "Well, I look forward to seeing the results."

He turned his head back to the bar and back at her. "Well, that's a question. Well, mi papi...he, uh, got caught up in that mess in Mexico. Had a lot of feelings on the matter that needed to be worked on, so I started fighting rather than pay for therapy or focus on school. Coulda ended up on the wrong side of the tracks, but, y'know, wanted to be good to mami and not put her though it, so when I graduated, I went out into the ring and got good. Turns out, nobody was expecting my sort of style. Not really trained in a martial arts, but you don't need it when you can knock a acere across the block, grab hold of him, and keep swinging before he can land, people don't often know how to counter that."

The drink prepared, he grabbed it and nodded to the bartender, "Gracias, amigo." and looked back at her and nodded his head at her next question. "Yeah, I love the EFL. Gets me pumped fight against new people; have to keep my mind sharp and adapt to all these sorts of fighting styles and try to adapt them. So, if I don't make the cut on this show, I'd definitely say I'll be back. Even if I do, well, there's always exhibition matches. Can't disappoint my fans, right?"

His smile is large as he starts to drink the mojito with a smile on his face. Yep, no problems being 20 and drinking here or they are just not carding. Hell yeah.

[Dapper Dog]

''I am glad you had such an opportunity. The people here certainly are quite interesting'' she made a quick glance towards Ynez ''I feel like anything could happen.''

She pulled a card from somewhere

''I am thinking of starting my own agency. If modeling is something that interests you, give me a call''

“Really?” she said and accepted the card, “It would be a chance for some new experiences. Oh I am Hana, Hana Korviyanikova.”

“How soon will your new modeling agency be online?”

The drink prepared, he grabbed it and nodded to the bartender, "Gracias, amigo." and looked back at her and nodded his head at her next question. "Yeah, I love the EFL. Gets me pumped fight against new people; have to keep my mind sharp and adapt to all these sorts of fighting styles and try to adapt them.

His smile is large as he starts to drink the mojito with a smile on his face. Yep, no problems being 20 and drinking here or they are just not carding. Hell yeah.

“Your father? That’s terrible,” she said, placing a comforting hand on his for support. “So many lives lost due to the ambitions of that monster president and the DCP. A man who seeks to do right by his familia is a good man worth knowing.”

“I hope you achieve your dreams, and make your late father proud. But I know that for the EFL, you were just so good, it would be a shame to never see you in the ring again.” Her hand gently slid away from his.

[Frankie Reynes]

Golem chuckled and said, “I ain’t here to compare dicks sizes on sports. If you get bloody, bust your ass, and there’s a trophy involved, I can get drunk and enjoy it.” He poured some tequila for Frankie and said, “If you’re here you’re drinking.”

OOC: Golem vs. The Whammy Will save at DC 20 | 1d20+7 ⇒ 12

"I am?" She took the glass and looked at it for a moment, "I guess I am."

Then she downed it and made a *face*

Will save | 1d20+6 ⇒ 9

[Babble]

Arturo watched and listened , catching various snippets of conversation, while watching everyone move about. He could really only make out the closest discussions, but he could see that most were friendly. He pulled his hood down, adding radio waves to the cacophony and challenging himself to sift through it all.

[Bee Haw]

“Oh, sorry I do that when I get excited, so I like Almaty, my hometown. But I also like the Null Zone. It's an island, artificial, built by some Elites, it’s like Ibiza, but better… nearly anything goes,” he said with a bashful look in English.

She smiled, grateful he switched back to English.

"That sounds interesting, though 'anything goes' is a little worrying. Maybe a little too wild and lawless for me!" She tried to sound appreciative that it was something he was excited about, even if it didn't sound like her cup of tea.

"But oh if I could run so fast and across the ocean, I'd run home and give my parents a big hug before this game was over!" Now that was a power!

[Dapper Dog]

Arturo watched and listened , catching various snippets of conversation, while watching everyone move about. He could really only make out the closest discussions, but he could see that most were friendly. He pulled his hood down, adding radio waves to the cacophony and challenging himself to sift through it all.

Arturo can hear and see the radio waves that the security teams are using around the stadium. There is a sudden spike in traffic and the doors open again and a woman walks in, international super singer Sakura Red. She enters with a flurry of flamboyance and showmanship.


She spoke loudly and broke into her song “Elite Problems” and gave the room a private intimate acoustic rendition strumming a guitar beautifully while singing in a mix of Japanese and English. Once finished she started the greetings and made some promo shots with everyone. She was an absolute professional and then the staff and crew were cleared out besides the bartender and a couple of wait staff.

Sakura Red sighed and said, “That was a rush, and now that the cameras are gone, we can really party. I brought some Omega Red from the Null Zone, this stuff will change your life.”

She goes to a table and starts pouring a red crystalline powder into lines. She rubs a bit on her gums and says in Japanese, “Delicious, who wants in?” She holds out a straw for anyone.

OOC: She kills the song Sakura Red Song Dc 15 | 1d20+19 ⇒ 34 and Sakura Red The Whammy Dc 20 | 1d20+8 ⇒ 10 everyone else in the thread please make a DC 20 Will save, it is Subtle Rank 2.

If trying Omega Red it is a Fortitude save at DC 22 or go an a delicious trippy adventure. If this will trigger a Motivation or Complication please by all means get a Hero point and act accordingly and note the trigger.

[Galatea]

“Really?” she said and accepted the card, “It would be a chance for some new experiences. Oh I am Hana, Hana Korviyanikova.”

“How soon will your new modeling agency be online?”

''After I finish my classes, likely.'' she replied ''A diploma will be a good thing to have and I want the agency to function just right''

She put her braid over her shoulder

''Well met miss Korviyanikova, I am Galatea''

The Box, resist the whammy | 1d20+14 ⇒ 25

[Babble]

The sudden burst of signals made Arturo visibly wince. It was better once it was all over, but he went to the bar for another drink.

[Bee Haw]

Bea noticed the drug use and flinched. She did not want to be part of this or expose herself to it.

"It was nice you meet you, Tez. You know, I think I will do the next best thing and give my folks a call."

She departs the box.

[Lil Disaster]

Bea noticed the drug use and flinched. She did not want to be part of this or expose herself to it.

"It was nice you meet you, Tez. You know, I think I will do the next best thing and give my folks a call."

She departs the box.

Tez turns to another person and then she is outside and then Lil Disaster followed and said, “Hey Baddie Bea, you alright? You were talkin’ to the Tez, like the Justice Elite. You alright?”

“What’s got you shook?”

[Bee Haw]

"It was a treat to speak to him. A real honor. He seems very nice."

"But it looked like it was turning into a party that wasn't my kind of party. It's okay. I don't mind heading out. I really do like the idea of calling my folks."

"I don't mean to pull you away. But thanks for checking on me."

[Lil Disaster]

He glanced back at the room and all the opportunities and shrugged and said, “If you’re heading out, let’s go. My fans will be devastated, but sometimes you gotta be there for the Disaster Fam over anything else.”

“Shit, I bet they are gettin’ blasted too.” He said, “Let’s roll Baddie Bea.”

[Bee Haw]

She smiled at him.

"My host family are surely watching on TV. I can call and see if they wouldn't mind the company. They'd be glad to see you."

[Lil Disaster]

She smiled at him.

"My host family are surely watching on TV. I can call and see if they wouldn't mind the company. They'd be glad to see you."

“Shit, more grub with Momma Bee, I’m in,” he said as they departed.

/exit to delicious food

[Camilo Batista]

Camilo had a laugh at Frankie I's expense when she took a shot. Not that he could blame her, straight tequila could be vile.

He watched as Sakura Red came in, naturally the center of attention without forcing it like a certain contestant. Camilo couldn't believe the experience he was having right now. Not just an all expense paid, upscale private party at an EFL fight, but a private performance by the Sakura Red. He didn't even know Elite Problems could sound that way. When he came time for photos, Camilo meticulously groomed his mustache and made sure his clothes were sorted. "Sou um grande fã. Isso foi lindo." he blurted out in his native tongue.

The close proximity to such talent and the whole night overall was making Camilo heady. Then out came the party favors. Oh shit, it's like that huh? The move to Mudaba Adin was supposed to remove him from the temptation, but maybe this was just part of the life. Like Golem said, half the job was showing up to things like this and these kind of parties and those kinds of parties favors went hand in hand. He was just playing his part and if he enjoyed it, all the better. He'd just keep it contained to parties and events where it was expected, not like he'd be using all the time.

Omega Red wasn't something he'd come across in his motley past. All the better that he'd get a new taste tonight. Camilo was the first to step up, "I'll take a bump." He fussed over his mustache a moment while taking the straw from Sakura Red before bending down to snort a line.

Will Save vs Subtle
D3, EN, TPB, Subtle 2 Will | 1d20+6 ⇒ 15
D3, EN, TPB, Subtle 2 Will, Hero Point Reroll | 1d20+6 ⇒ 7 +10 for 17, still a fail, Sakkaku has spoken.

Omega Red
D3, EN, TPB, Omega Red Fortitude | 1d20+6 ⇒ 25 Hey fellow kids, Camilo's old hat at this drug stuff.

Addiction complication, +1 hero point.

[Frankie Reynes]

She had no idea what Omega Red was. But if other people were doing it it was probably fine, right? What's the worst that could happen?


Will save | 1d20+6 ⇒ 9 (rolled earlier, and turns out my will save is actually +10, but that's still a fail)
hero point reroll will save | 1d20+6 ⇒ 7 (so with the +10 instead of +6, and the other +10 for hero point reroll, that's actually a 21, so pass?)

fortitude save (but I had another hero point re-roll so, we're doing it!) | 1d20+6 ⇒ 23

(both of my hero points used up)
