"I beg to dream and differ~
from the hollow lies~!!!
This is the dawning
of the rest... of our lives~!!!
This our lives on holidaaaaaaay~!"

Steam filled up the bathroom of the R.M.S. Postal as Venka was enjoying a nice hot bath. After a long hard work-out, she needed to cleanse herself a little to not just go around and scare people. What better way to do so than with a good bath? Truth be told a shower was faster but it's been like 3 days since she had a good bath and was really craving for it. The water wasn't soapy at all, Ven was the type to soak in a cloak of steam. She washed up before getting in the tub. Raising her leg up and letting the water drip down from it playfully, her smile was almost ear to ear as all the strain in her muscles seemed to melt away. The steam and hot water just revitalised her in every way. That and well, she was adapt in the water to begin with. In fact she was playing around, moulding the water in letters to spell her name. Her long and usual pretty carefree hair was all coiled up in a nice bun as she laid out in the tub and exhaled while humming a song she liked. It took a lot of effort to fix he hair like this but washing it now would take too long. Perhaps tonight in the shower? Hhhmmm, sounded about right. Or maybe she could go for another bath at the hotel?!? Damn two baths in one day. Yeah, this was the life... Wait no, she totally forgot something important! Yeah, she wasn't here alone, Amazing helped her wash her back! And she washed hers as thanks!

Suddenly blushing, Ven sank into the water a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry... It must be totally weird for me to start singing out of nowhere... Uhm... Thanks for helping me out there... I'm sorry if my tattoos scare you... Aunt Clara told me people will think I'm some sort of delinquent... I'm sorry..." she spoke, her face as flushed as a tomato, partially from the steam, mostly from her own embarrassement. Actually this was the first time she spent some girl time in quite a while. As hard as it may sound, it was rare to find another woman in the marines, let alone such a cutie as Amazing Grace. And here she was, some delinquent with small scars over her slightly too muscular, perhaps not completely womanly body and to top it off she had a back tattoo the size of her, well back. And on her arm and she even wanted more... Jeez, now she really just felt like sinking into the water and drowning. She only met this girl a couple hours ago and she had already gone this far with her.

Twirling her index finger in the water, she made a small whirlpool in front of her. An actual whirlpool. Yeah, none of that kiddie shit, Ven had a dwarf whirlpool on her palm in the water and it was pretty cool okay? Sighing as she put her face above water again she figured this was enough for now. "I guess we should get out. Jaqk's waiting for us to deliver that package you mentioned earlier right?" Venka asked for confirmation. For as carefree as she was, Venka was quite serious about her job so they could play all they wanted as long as every heart was delivered. Not actual hearts mind you, it's a feeling sort of thing. And Venka was really feeling it. Getting out of the water, she seemed kind of sad but that was mostly because she wanted to hang around a little longer in it. Drying herself off and wrapping a towel around her body, it barely covered anything up, leaving little to the imagination. But that was not the issue, her regular attire didn't do that anyway.

She grabbed a spare change of clothes from her bag earlier and so she got dressed in those. A Bright red bikini top with a yellow star outline on the right side, red short swimming shorts with a yellow line on the sides and... That was it basically. Okay she put on her jeans shorts from before again to cover up until the knee but that was still basically it. Putting on her belts and supports, the woman snuck out of the bathroom since she was done so quickly. Unwrapping her long hair, it fell down past her butt as usual, covering up the angelic wings on her back. A tattoo mind you. "I'll meet you upstairs when you're ready Commander!" she spoke, sneaking out of the bathroom with the door on just a tiny opening. Walking outside, she put on her sandals and encountered Jayjay there, plucking his wings. She felt like ruffling his feathers but as he noticed her, he suddenly gave her a glare that instantly made her want to back off. "You're no fuuuuuuuuuun..." she spoke, purposely elongating the u.

Noticing her hat next to the bird, she picked it up and put it on, adjusting the bill so it covered more of her right eye than her left. exhaling deeply, she took a seat next to her bird of prey and crossed her legs on the ship's railing. supporting her head with her hand, resting her elbow on her knee, the courier awaited the rest of her crew to get ready to move out. As the new person on the crew, she didn't want to impose on their schedule too much. That and she wanted to get to know them a bit more. Sure she just shared a bath with Amazing but she barely heard more than three sentences out of Jaqk. Plus it's been ages since she could do girl talk so she was kind of looking forward to that...

Amazing had half her head planted beneath the water's surface. It was quite warm, but she was quite resistant to the heat. Using her nose and mouth, she made quite a few bubbles on the surface and watched them as they all popped. She tried to create them in synchronization with the singing of her bath subordinate. The conservative shrimp had her arms wrapped tightly across her chest even though she was beneath the water, and even had her legs crossed to deny entry for anyone that may have wanted to look, even though what was down there was no secret. Despite not having taken a bath with another girl since her academy days, Amazing felt somewhat comfortable with this woman that she'd only known for a few hours. Perhaps because they were the same color? Hm.

Amazing rose up from the water to to put her mouth above the surface. The small girl took in a breath before returning beneath the water. Using only her eyes, she followed Venka's leg up into the air. There was an invisible weight that tried to pull the Commander's eyes down to the woman's nethers but she persevered and kept them up. "S-Sexy..." Amazing did not really notice the scars that were on her bath buddy's body. The tattoo on her back was quite interesting, however. She didn't know many people with tattoos, and all of the ones she did know where marines. They normally had the generic marine logo tattoo on their arm. Though she couldn't see herself getting something inked on her body into permanence, she found the tattoo elegant.

"No. That package isn't expected to be delivered until tomorrow," she said in response to asking why Jaqk was waiting. "We're going to just have fun with what Jaqk won for us." Amazing sighed. "I'd love nothing more than to give someone their package early but I have kind of been ignoring Jaqk these past few days to train and exercise. And without Yori- I just feel like I- we- should do something as a crew." Amazing went silent for a bit before the other girl in the tub stood up.

With the caramel babe standing up(Venka, not Amazing), Amazing was treated to a nice display of healthiness. She still averted her eyes from the woman to not be too perverted. Holding her arms tightly to her chest upon seeing the breasts of her subordinate, she became a little bit flustered. "One day," she told herself. With Venka gone, she took the opportunity to get out of the tub herself. There wasn't much of herself that she needed to dry off, so that went quickly. She put on a tiny white sundress and some sandals while choosing to let her hair fall down instead of wearing her hat. Jaqk had never seen her in such an outfit and Venka would have the accomplishment in seeing Amazing in a dress without waiting several months or even years.

Ready for doing whatever that Silver Fish Witch whatever ticket called for, Amazing headed to the command center.

Because the Fisherman didn't have any intention on having fun nor dressing up for the occasion, he had been ready for several hours, having already meditated for at least one of them and had gone fishing earlier, too. Granted, Jaqk rarely sleeps and in the event that he would sleep, it would be for a short but fair amount of time and he would be up in the early morning. Also, granted, I'm not entirely sure if we're even on the same day but I assume we are so we're going to just assume that Jaqk is amazingly graceful and handsome as always, finely dressed in his Marine stuff because he rarely wears anything other than such. He didn't care too much about going on the trip that the Silver Witch Fish had granted them, but the Commander did so he would humour her and attend.

Let's say that in the time that Sparks and Grace had been taking their bath and stuff, Jaqk moved the ship to the Neon North portion of the island and docked in the Marine section so there was no docking fees or issues because Jaqk is actually a really cheap person. Also, it's closer to everything, probably. Marines gotta work, and stuff.

So, not too long after Sparks and Grace had made their way out and were dressed in whatever they were wearing be it dresses or being dressed like a total and complete beach goer, Jaqk was chilling in the command center when suddenly the Commander would arrive. "Commander." -- he said, pulling out the Silver Ticket that he won and would approach her and offer it to her, and by offer I mean hand because Jaqk don't need this in his life. "According to what it says on the back," -- he likely flipped it over to allow her to read it.

"Congratulations! You've won an all expense paid trip to the Neon North of Las Arcadas for yourself and three guests of your choice! Present this to any hotel in Neon North for your free two-night stay, and they will give you a card that can be used anywhere in Neon North for your pleasure!"

"Oh uhm... Right. Of course, no problem." Venka replied with a faint smile when she saw Amazing getting a bit down as she mentioned Yori. Yeah, she was a substitute work force here after all. Kinda hard to fill the shoes of someone who was multiple people at once. But then again, she could never replace someone just like that. Waiting outside for the Commander to pass by, Venka hopped up with a spring to her step as she noticed Grace looking especially amazing. It was a really cute dress that fit her well! Ven didn't have much of a wardrobe at the moment so she had to rely on her... Beach fashion? I guess that's an appropriate word for it... In any case, she joined her commander on the way to the command centre. "Poyooooo~, you look so pretty Commander, I'm jealous! We should go shopping later and pick up a sexy evening dress too~!" she complimented Amazing. It was a well-meant compliment but Ven hoped to cheer her up a little too.

She noticed earlier during training she was missing her old crew mate as well. They must have been pretty close... Ven told herself that wasn't here to fill in the void left by her, she was here as herself. She'd do her best to fit in and be a member they could rely on. Both professionally and off the clock. Walking into the command centre, Venka took in the sights. This as the first time she was in here and it seemed a bit messy. Some empty papers on the table, parcel delivery notes on the wall. Sure it was all where it should be but it had this chaotic feeling to it. On top of that, it seemed that this is also where they kept packages and letters. There was a letterbox, and a cart that seems to have been used for the heavy loads. The caramel courier hopped on the table to take a seat and was swinging her legs back and forth as she took in her surroundings. She returned Jaqk's greeting but only with a light wave. It didn't really seem fully directed at her anyway so hopefully he wouldn't mind.

With Jaqk reading the back of the card, Venka got a little pumped as she swung her fists in the air all of a sudden: "Any hotel we want?!? We should find something with a hot spring! Or a steam bath or something like that! Also let's get one room and have a big pillow fight! and then stay up late and talk all night! Poyoooooooo~Jaqk, you're awesome to win a prize like that!" the courier shouted with a great deal of enthusiasm in her voice. She almost seemed like a giddy kid about to go off on a trip to a theme park. Which she kind of was, in a way. "I mean my bag is stuffed with tickets too and I even gave away a ton earlier this morning but you brought back a real big haul! If we can go shopping, we should totes get a lot of cute clothes! And dinner at a fancy restaurant! Lunch, brunch, the whole nine yards!" she continued her excited streak. Didn't seem like she was about to stop listing activities either until someone else put on the brakes and curbed her a little back to reality.

Just a little. Some enthusiasm was always nice.

"Jaqk"

Amazing greeted her subordinate back with a wide smile and a dip after grabbing the sides of the hem of her dress. Despite not having changed his attire, his marine wear was more than enough for them to be accepted into any formal event. Venka... They'd have to check at the door for her. Having taken the ticket given to her by Jaqk, she read it to herself before going over it again and reading it aloud. As the other caramel woman said, it was a pretty damn sweet deal that their resident fisherman had reeled in. "It sounds so comfy and extravagant!" she exclaimed as she pulled the ticket in and held it on her chest while twirling.

Coming out of the twirl, she wobbled for a bit before regaining her senses. "No no no! A hot spring sounds great... but, we should give it to Jaqk to choose. I mean, he won the tickets after all!" Amazing took in a breath of air. "What sort of features and amenities attract you the most?" she asked as she moved out onto the deck. Amazing was bombarded with the bright lights of all of the buildings and structures again. She did her best to shield her eyes until she adjusted to the lights. Not only were the lights bright, the cacophonous sounds were crashing together and disorienting the tiny girl for a few moments. "Lively," she thought.

Amazing moved over to the gangway and stood still, waiting for her compatriot marines to catch up with her. Turning to Venka, she smiled and tilted her head to the side. "Thanks so much for the compliment," she said, recalling back to what she said from earlier. "Jaqk, you're the leader for tonight. Actually, hold on." She said, looking up to where he was. In that moment, she remembered something. Running back into the command center, she found her weapons, Brionna and Lisa, and placed them both on the table. She then grabbed a small, white handbag that rattled like there were marbles inside. Those objects inside were pop greens. Even though she was a marine, she had no where to tuck her gun in and her blunt weapon was too attention grabbing when compared with the rest of her outfit. "Ready!"

With everyone beginning to move out and onto the deck, Jaqk had responded to the Commander, "Nothing really grabs my attention." -- he said plainly; despite not really having seen the Neon North section of Las Arcadas, he was certain he didn't care in the slightest. Out and onto the deck, "I will a accompany both you and Sparks where ever it is you wish to go." -- as it's been said, Jaqk's an easy person to get along with for the most part and since he has become rather familiar with the Commander, despite never calling her by her first name and always keeping it on a professional level. The newest member wouldn't get the cold shoulder, per-say; but she wouldn't get any attention directed at her, words or otherwise, unless she speaks out to the fisherman, first.

Down the gangplank they went, it seemed that the Commander still wanted Jaqk to lead the group for the night - before he was able to respond to her again, she had dashed off. She wasn't gone too long. Taking a proper standing position, he awaited her return and once he did he would pick-up where he had left off.

"Please, Commander. You should know I'm not an 'outgoing' person - I wouldn't even know what to do in a place such as the Neon North."

Being pulled back slightly Venka only realised they went outside after she was kind of done ranting about it. "Oh right... This island doesn't have a hotspring... It's manmade and all... But maybe they have steam baths? They should have right?" the courier was kind of talking to herself at this point. With the commander putting a break on her suggestions, she could agree it was fair to let Jaqk decide. He won the prize after all. Holding back her enthusiasm for a bit, she waited for the commander to return. But then Jaqk was hesitant all of a sudden. A shy guy? Maybe just introverted. Then again, that mask of his was kind of eerie sometimes. It didn't even have eye-holes, how did he see half the time? Stepping in a little close, Ven leaned forward.

"Ya know, we won't really get anywhere if you keep hesitating... Come on, let's look for a hotel that has some fancy baths for now and then-" Ven spoke with a giddy grin on her face but then when she saw Amazing, she instantly got a lot less giddy. "I mean uhm... A hotel that looks acceptable to you..." she added with a correction, a bit more hushed and looking away. She didn't want to force her preference on him and get the commander upset after all. This was pretty important to her after all and making it about herself wasn't her intention. Anywho, standing around wouldn't help them at all. Grabbing his hand, she tugged it lightly towards the boat's exit.

"Come on, let's just go already! Plenty of ways to have fun~! Let's settle the hotel business and then get to finding something more exciting to do, could go out for drinks, could go shopping, maybe we can find you a nice fabric for your mask or a fancy new scarf, could go out for drinks... Wait I said that already huh? Well, there's plenty of good places to eat and various clubs there too. Karaoke, cabaret, host and hostess clubs and-" it didn't seem like the tanned courier was about to stop any time soon. Off on a tangent again, maybe her tangent could give Jaqk an idea or two while she gently tugged him towards the actual Neon North.

"O-okay!" Amazing responded to everything. Though she would have liked Jaqk to choose where they went since they were his tickets that he won through his handwork and skills, she understood his personality a bit and reluctantly accepted that he did not want to lead. Frowning, she listened to Venka as she talked and began to brighten up a bit again. The more upbeat Venka was a good balance to the mellow and complacent Jaqk. As the tanned woman rattled off places to go and visit, Amazing thought a bit about the places and could not pick which of those that she personally would have liked to visit. In a glitzy and glamorous place such as the one they were in, it seemed as though a simple postal office would not be an attraction.

The marine commander began commanding. Getting out in front of her crew and pointing in no particular direction with offensive intent, she smiled devilishly as she turned her head back to look to Venka and Jaqk over her shoulder. "Forward!" she exclaimed. The night on the town was the enemy forces and her party was her own force and she was the Great General of Fun. She wanted to be the GGoF at least. Moving forward, she stepped off of the docking area and officially entered into the district... or at least the non-docking portion, which she figured to be official in some capacity. The bright lights and noise were a bit daunting at first, but the tiny woman adjusted quick enough and eventually came to be in awe of the atmosphere.

"Uwaah!" Not being a sound that she usually made, it showed how much wonder that the extravagant atmosphere evoked from the tiny marine. Taking a slow step forward, she looked around at all of the places, some of which Venka had noted in her little tangent that she had. "I don't know!" she screamed. There were some quick looks shot her way from nearby, but the discordant music and sounds from the various establishments were able to drown her out so only those close could hear her. The overwhelming number of places to possibly go for sightseeing and fun was something that she could not contend with at the moment.

"Hotel," she reminded herself and her mates out loud. It was a mental regrouping that helped her immensely in getting back on track. "Um! Excuse me ma'am!" Amazing hopped up and down to get the attention of a nearby woman who seemed to be an employee of some establishment. Her face and features were unremarkable. "Where are the hotels?" The woman placed her finger on her lip and turned around and pointed down the road, informing them that there was something called a "hotel district". It was obviously self explanatory in nature. After thanking the woman, Amazing, and hopefully her subordinates, began moving toward the destination.

It didn't appear that Jaqk had much choice in anything; he knew that the Commander likely had somewhere she wanted to go in particular, and though he didn't know Venka well and by well - I mean at all - it was easy to assume that, through the enthusiasm she showed and had an idea of what she wanted to do would know where she wanted to go, as well. Jaqk wasn't any outgoing guy, and that was obvious; the night would have been incredibly boring if Jaqk had taken the lead. It's true that he didn't care to partake, but as it's been stated, he's only doing this because the Commander had asked him to. Had he not have gotten used to the Commander's personality by now, he would have likely said no and remained on the ship.

Following the Commander, Venka dragged him along with force. He would have been fine walking on his own, but the women were ready to go.

It seemed that Grace was soaking in everything that Neon North had to offer - the lights, the sounds. Venka was likely doing the same. After they had been pointed in the direction of the hotel district, they made their way toward it and there they would see a mass amount of hotels that lined the entire district. Hence the name. The Milton, Seven Seasons, Augustus Palace just to name a few. It's likely the ladies were drawn to all of them, but they were only able to pick one. Speaking - speaking loud enough over the people, music and other misc. noises.

"Considering they're all likely of the same stature, they're probably all similar inside, too." -- he didn't think too much about the uniqueness that any one individual hotel may have, "Any one of them will do."

Not like Ven was planning to drag Jaqk along for all of Las Arcadas, she let go as soon as the ball finally got rolling. Maybe Jaqk wasn't an outgoing guy because he was so indecisive? Too much fun stuff to do he couldn't even decide? No, Veka would be lying to herself if it turned out to be that, so she let out a bit of a sigh while she mulled it over in her head. When Amazing had located the hotel district, the tan courier gave her a salute and an "Aye aye, commander!" to go with it. Keeping the mood up high was quite important when they had such a reluctant member going along. Perhaps Jaqk was the very professional type? Our white haired martail artist was tapping in the dark here. Unlike the rest of the crew, she didn't get to read any marine personal files. Any history Jaqk had, she was unaware of. What she did know, call it intuition or just plain common sense, was that he wore that mask because of it. People who hide their face so openly are hard to open up on their own.

So for now, she'd have to see where the day took them. Despite not being the person to indulge in this stuff, Jaqk also didn't seem to directly despise it. Sure, he didn't take charge but he went along on his own just fine. Plenty of opportunities to slip off and leave them all but here he was, merrily coming along. Amazing was a beam of curiosity and was lost like a deer in the headlights by all the sights in Neon North. Truth be told, Ven would be too but she didn't want to peel her eyes out too much just yet. The sights only got better at night. The male of the crew however was not amazed in the slightest. Well if he was, he choose a rather poor way to express himself. "Poyoooo Jaqk... Sure, they'll offer comparable service but it's all about picking an aesthetic you like." she pouted a little wrapping her arm around his shoulder and pushing him closer so their heads nearly bumped.

Whispering to Jaqk while Amazing was still taking in the sights, she tried to keep it as brief as possible so Grace wouldn't notice so she ended up rattling words off like a machine gun. "Look, I know I'm new and all and this is probably super awkward for you but Grace is feeling a little blue. She might not show it and try to shift her attention every time she dips but you're a friend to her. And that's what she needs most of all right now. Please put some more consideration towards her feelings in your words, poyo. If she wants you pick something, man up and do it. Ladies like a man who can take charge..." the courier tried to motivate their reluctant comrade and let go of him just as she was done talking.

Walking on as if nothing happened, Ven caught up to Grace and walked beside her as she put her hand on her chin. "Any particular hotel strike your fancy, Commander? That Romulinus Palace looked pretty cool but the Beliagio up ahead looks really high class too... Think the hotel offers massage services and covers it from the prize? I could go for a cute guy giving me a foot-rub right about now, if you catch my drift~!" The courier poked her shorter, almost sister-like counterpart with a wink. A flirty little tease for fun but also a half serious suggestion. She could indeed very much appreciate a foot-rub by some hunk. And a back rub would be great too. Feeling a little sore from the work out still, a massage sounded like music to her ears right now. Seemed like they were progressing to some more of the expensive hotels now considering the places that Venka just mentioned had huge fountains in front of them and a towering high architecture to back up the casino and hotel. A giant Romulin styled temple or well aptly named Palace on one side and on the other side a building so high, Ven almost had to break her neck to look over it from where they were standing. The Beliagio had a huge Beli sign shaped fountain that was giving off a show in front of it to match it's superiority.

"Pooooooo-Yooooooo!" Ven uttered at the display of water changing levels and seemingly dancing. Of course she'd like a display of water ingenuity... Shaking her head she regained her senses before she lost herself in it all. "So uh... Any hotel strike your fancy yet?" She asked no one in particular.

"Hmm," was her response to Jaqk. She really wanted to him to pick but his deflection made her unhappy. It was a bit too much pressure for her to decide how to use his tickets. if she messed up and picked something that the male did not particularly enjoy... Well, f course he probably would not show his dissatisfaction or even actually be disappointed, but her woman's intuition would know. It always did most of the sometimes. Continuing walking and sightseeing with the temperament of a typical tourist, she looked at places that she would have liked to explore later on, maybe sometime after finishing her delivery the next day.

The hotels that were pointed out by Venka did seem to be quite lovely. While Amazing was not too sure about strange, but cute guys giving her a rub down at the moment, she did think that spa services sounded quite nice when she recalled the bit about a hot-spring like place. At the exact moment that caramel girl numero dos asked if anything had been decided, Amazing's eyes lit up. Yes, there were a lot of flashing lights from the various establishments and such around to put lights in her eyes, but her eyes were genuinely astonished by a particular venue that she spotted up ahead. Stepping forward with an agape, mouth, she confirmed her resolution. "That's the one."

If Jaqk wanted her to choose where they went and she wanted to do what Jaqk wanted to do, then her choosing the hotel was the right thing to do wasn't it? She wanted to get inside and see it from the moment that she laid eyes on it and wanted to please her subordinate by complying with his request. There were huge skylights dancing in the sky along with many people crowding around the front. There was something about the place that called out to her. Going forward, she read the letters that were at the top of the establishment when close enough. 'NGN Mega,' it read. Not only did the lights of the building mesmerize her but the flashing lights of the cameras in the hands of various photographers also made the woman think that there was some star-studded event going on as well. Her mind made her think that there were more cameras than there were, but there were still quite a few.

Above the large canopy that covered the entrance of the hotel hung a white sign with black text. The text read 'Fight Night!'. Curious about it, Amazing tapped on the arm of the nearest photographer and asked him what was going on. "Girlie. You don't know!? Fight Night's only this place's most alluring events!" Asking about what exactly Fight Night was, she was giving a more detailed answer. "Well, there's a boxing tournament that's held on the island up to this night every three months. The semi-finals and the championship round are held on the same night. The first round just finished and we're currently on break until the next fight. Brucie B. 'The Mask' Wiley barely won the first fight against Matt 'Murderin' Murdoch. It was a brutal match but we can't tell how fatigued he was because he always wears a mask." Amazing thanked the man for being nice enough to explain what was happening.

"Let's stay here so we can see the fights!" Amazing piped up after turning to her comrades. "Did you hear about the boxer that wears a mask, Jaqk? Seems interesting, maybe you could have a mask-to-mask chat with him soon, hehe." With that said, she began to walk to the inside so they all could check in.

As to be expected from the fisherman, when Sparks had tugged him closer and spoke to him, he had remained quiet; not a word. But of course he heard it all, and understood it. That still doesn't change the fact, however, that this isn't his 'scene' - this isn't something he would normally do. He's only here because of how down and out of it Grace has been. And while he respects her and cares for her as much as any subordinate would care for their superior; especially when that superior isn't like any other and instead of treating those whom work under her like the soldiers they are, she trusts them and keeps herself and them on the same level. Everyone is equal when you're working with the someone as light hearted, and friendly as Amazing Grace.

They moved forward and finally, the Commander had decided which hotel they would be staying; they approached her chosen destination that was packed full with more people than he had expected, but after some investigative work from the tea-cup Commander herself it was unearthed that this place in particular was hosting a boxing event. Jaqk nodded to the Commander after her comment, and the group was going to make their way inside.

Stepping through the entrance, the trio was suddenly hit with the sound of many, many fans for 'Fight Night!' - not only did the NGN Mega host 'Fight Night!' it had it's own casino, as well as the obvious hotel. Having to work their way through the crowd of people, Jaqk would eventually ask the Commander for the ticket and he would approach the front desk. Behind said desk was an attractive young woman - to most, anyway, she was just another face to Jaqk - "Ah, you must be a fan of Brucie B.!" -- "No." -- he simply responded to her, "You sure? You're wearing a mask so similar to his! Same colours, too!" -- the masked Jaqk just stood there, staring at her, which she couldn't see for the most obvious of reasons. Taking a moment, she typed away at the keyboard to her Den Den 37, the latest in Den Den Snail technology. It allowed her to surf the world wide wave.

"See, here!" -- she said, turning the monitor so that Jaqk could see - it was just a neck and up picture of Brucie B. and she would move it if Sparks or Grace wanted to see it, too. He had pale skin, and his mask was similar to Jaqk's as in instead of a vertical line pattern like Jaqk's, his was horizontal. And while it may be hard to notice, unless you're Jaqk - the fisherman's mask goes purple-green-purple-green, while Brucie's goes green-purple-green-purple. Still just staring, after a moment or maybe even two moments of awkward silence (from Jaqk, at least) she turned the monitor around and cleared her throat and wiped her smile.

"S-sorry about that, how may I help you?" -- she asked, as Jaqk produced the Silver Witch Fish ticket and the lady began typing away and nodded, "You seem to be quite lucky! We only one room available and it happens to be the Fleet Admiral Suite!" -- the smile she had wiped away earlier returned and she printed out the card that she is suppose to give anyone who brings her a Silver Witch Fish - the card that allows them to pay for expenses and stuff. The infinite beli card, for two nights. Once it's expired, it's no good! But until then, spend spend spend! It repeats the whole "Not accepted for gambling. Illegal activities. Not valid in all areas. Some restrictions may apply, inquire for details." - on the back of it. The card itself is silver in colour, and sparkles too. While anyone could likely forge these, there is something special that can be checked by any place you intend to use it at in the Neon North district; they shine sea stone light over it will reveal the a Silver Witch Fish stamp-like image.

Taking the Silver Card, Jaqk slid it into his inner-coat pocket. While he was doing that, "Name, please?" -- she asked, "Usuaroku Jaqk." -- she went to type and forget to ask him how to spell it, and since she didn't ask Jaqk didn't think to tell her. "How many guests" -- Jaqk looked down to Grace, and then to Sparks, "Two." -- and then she started to type away again. Eventually she stopped, and she retrieved three cards for each guest and slid them through a Den Den's shell. It had been modified and connected to the Den Den 37, and she wrote Jaqk's name down and then the names of the other two guests, Amazing Grace and Venka Sparks (which she acquired at some point)

Handing them over to Jaqk, Grace's and Spark's were on top so he passed those two to their proper owner and then he saw his "Oosarokoo Jack" - he stared at it for a moment, and blinked a few times. But he wasn't one to complain, so he added that to the collection of things in his inner-pockets.

"Now you can take either of the two main elevators over there," -- she points toward two elevators that were side-by side. "The Fleet Admiral Suite has it's own floor, it's the top button in the elevator marked FAS. There is a card reader right next to it. Press FAS and then slide your room cards, and you're good to go!" -- she said with as much employee-glee (fake happiness often shown by people who work jobs that require human interaction; especially ones where you have to appear to be happy all the time!)

After any and all interaction that either Sparks or Grace had was over, they could start making their way to the elevators and their room! (Which can be designed by either of you!)

With the commander making her choice, Venka was glad that the stay had been settled somehow. Sure Jaqk didn't pick the place in the end after all but it also seems like Amazing wasn't too upset over picking a hotel on her own. Not like the taller tanned courier could pick a place, that was out of the question entirely. As the commander scurried on towards the bright lights and commotion, Venka followed with her thumbs in her small and absolutely impractical pants' pockets. This wasn't a thing with just her pants in particular, it was a model of jeans that had no pockets whatsoever. Designers really should get up and at making a pair of practical pants that still looked sexy. Sadly Ven doubted it would happen because a pocket dimension technology sounded like a devil fruit only thing...

Anyway, with their commander being so giddy about the hotel, Ven couldn't help but smile back with a beam herself. "I will protect that smile..." she thought to herself as she approached her to hear what the fuss was all about. Turns out there was a fighting tournament, specifically boxing going on here. Though Venka had a literal star in her eye, the metaphorical ones appeared and were about to shine brighter than any of the camera flashes. "Fight Night?!? Boxing?!? I wanna fight! Where's the sign-ups in this place?!?" she exclaimed in her excitement as she charged through. While Jaqk and Amazing were handling the room details, Venka was at a separate counter, almost viciously requesting participation. "I'm up for a fight! Come on, a woman in the ring is bound to draw attention right? Good for the public! Good for sales!" the courier argued her case to the receptionist. "I-I'm sorry miss but women are not allowed to enter-" "What kind of poyo reason is that huh?!? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I can't take a punch or throw one out!" Venka slammed her fist down on the counter.

"Noisy... Would you keep quiet woman?" a gruff voice spoke behind her. A tall dark skinned man with a shaved head and a condescending look on his face was staring down at her annoyed. Wearing a fancy suit, the receptionist girl got all flustered when she saw him. "Oh mister Juneweather!!! I'm so terribly sorry for all this commotion!" she spoke as she stood up and took a bow. Turning his face away, he snarled a bit: "... Try to keep noisy women out of my sight. I don't need that bullshit before my fight..." the man spoke. Now Venka was getting pissed. "Hey! Juneweather! That's no way to talk to people, I train hard every day to be strong so I'm not going to-" "Training? You mean some girly shit like yoga and cleaning? I'd hardly call that exercise, that's just what women do to keep fit..." the boxer continued as he leaned in to intimidate her. The tanned courier was not going to have any of it.

"No, actual training. Stop condescending me, I have a black belt in fishman karate, jutsu, judo-" "Ha! And at what gym did you buy them girl? Why don't you shut up before accidents happen..." the man said as he was looking around. he did draw attention usually but right now the cameras weren't looking. Gritting her teeth, Venka was boiling over. "I just want to participate in this fight so why-" the courier spoke but was suddenly shut up as she fell over on the ground and grasped her jaw. her hat fell off in the process as Juneweather let out a hearty laugh. "Oh my what's wrong girl! Can't stand up straight? Just go back to the street corner you came from, no one wants to watch a weak girl get beat up..." the boxer spoke as he turned around and began walking. The receptionist held her hands in front of her mouth. Venka knew exactly what he did. It was a fast jab at her jaw but she didn't expect him to be this disrespectful.

Getting up and putting her hat back on, she lowered the rim even more than usual. "Hey! Put your guard up poyo!" she shouted over to him. The crowd got cleared a bit around them. Juneweather didn't seem to care much as he turned around and saw her putting her guard up. Letting out another laugh the cameras were now focussed on them. "I'm not beating up a weak girl, are you out of your mind?" he said with an arrogant smile. It was obvious to her that it's exactly what he wanted to do. Despicable guy. "Put up your guard... And let me throw one punch. If you remain remain standing after that, I'll back off and apologise. That's all..." she spoke. Juneweather laughed again but put up his guard. "Alright girl, let's go then..." he added with an arrogant smile. Slowly moving towards him, Venka knew exactly what kind of punch she'd throw. Not a sneaky jab while she was not in a fighting stance like he did. No, she'd break through his wall of arrogance and condescension. Right through.

When she was within reach, the flashes of the cameras wouldn't stop. But it was all ovr between those flashes. Throwing a crisp right, straight on his guard, Juneweather didn't seem to be affected at first. But then he dropped down to his knees and hit the floor face first. Rolling over, his face was blank and mouth wide open, unconscious through his guard. Lowering her guard, Venka exhaled a puff of air through her nose with a small content smile. "... Told you I was strong..." the courier said, turning to the receptionist. "Uhm... I'll see what I can do for you, Miss...?" the woman asked as she took a seat. "Sparks, Venka Sparks. Thanks for your trouble." she added before starting to look around for Jaqk and Grace. Seems like the registration process was just about done. Taking her card, she was pretty excited they got a whole floor to themselves! The elevator ride upwards also had a glass exterior to give a skyline of the city as they went up. From up top the city was even prettier! Venka marvelled by putting her face up against the glass as they went up. "So pretty..." she exclaimed in a light whisper.

Arriving up top, the suite itself was even prettier than she could have imagined. Marble floors and a modern interior with a single colour of white on one end and a light soothing blue on the oher, there was no doubt why this was the Fleet Admiral suite. Coated in the classic marine colours the interior design was simple but tight and didn't jag in the eye at all. There were sofas up ahead, an open kitchen and despite the furniture being rather minimalistic, it was clear there was also a liquor cabin. The areas at the sofa had a den den monitor and even a fire place! The bathroom was huge, and Venka didn't even get to the bedrooms! Stuck outside on the balcony, she examined the view from way up top. A slight feeling of vertigo had undergone her as she looked down to see how high up they were but it only excited her more! Beaming like a rainbow, Venka was about to check out her bedroom as someone had buzzed their floor. Since she was closest she decided to answer the call on the stationary snail phone next to the elevator. No doubt there were other phones too but she was right at it.

"I got it! Don't worry!" she shouted into the apartment so that others wouldn't rush to find the nearest phone. "Yes hello, Venka Sparks speaking?" the courier answered the snail, still giddy from all this luxury Jaqk had won. "Ah, Miss Sparks, you're wanted at the arena on the bottom floor for a medical check-up and weigh-in. Though the tournament doesn't really have weight classes, safety and security of our fights is a top priority." the receptionist from before answered. Yes, that meant she could fight! "Alright so bottom floor and then... Take a left, follow straight, second right... Got it, thank you~!" Venka answered the call and hung up once it was over. "Guys, I can participate! How awesome is that? I just gotta head down again for some check-ups, shouldn't take long. Give me a shout if you wanna come along!" the female explained to her crew and then proceeded to call the elevator up for her.

Amazing jumped up and down to see the monitor as it was turned around to show Jaqk the fighter that was mentioned earlier. "It really does-" the girl hit the ground and jumped back up between speaking. "-sorta look like-" taking another look on her ascension, she noticed the differences "-you. Almost kinda sorta." Amazing was so focused on Jaqk and the screen that she had completely ignored what was going on behind them. The lobby was already loud and there was no increase in silence that would make the tiny woman turn around. When handed the card by Jaqk, she beamed with excitement and took the card for Venka too, who appeared just as they were ready to head to the elevator.

Amazing marveled at the scenery below along with her subordinate. All of the flashing lights of the district that they were in, combined with lights from venues all other places on the island. She tried to spot the R.M.S. Postal but she could not see it from her vantage point. Looking to her subordinates, she couldn't tell if Jaqk was admiring the sights or not but felt that he might have been having some reflective thoughts on the light show beneath the mask. As the elevator came to a crawl, Amazing could feel somewhat of a sinking feeling in hr chest. partly due to the height they were at and the anxiousness she was feeling for seeing this extravagant room that had a floor all its own. The marine inhaled as she waited for the elevator doors to part.

All of the things that Venka observed were quite true and Amazing was there with her observing right up until she went out onto the balcony, which is where Amazing had split off and gone to see what Jaqk was up to. "When we were picking out hotels, or just browsing I guess, I was thinking we could get one with rooms by the water so you could fish. I guess there aren't any on the edge, but this is nice, right?" The female turned to look out the balcony window before turning back to the male with a quick pivot. "Oh right! I forgot that I wanted to talk to you about-" The phone began ringing in that moment when the caramel woman that wasn't the Commander came barging in.

"That's great!" Amazing replied to the fact that Venka would be able to participate. The woman seemed very happy about it and sauntered off. The smile on the face of the short caramel female lingered until Venka had already been gone for several seconds. "Wait, what can she participate in?" she asked with a confused look on her face. Looking over to Jaqk. Several things ran through the woman's mind such as casino games, swimming in the pool and maybe even getting something to eat in the cafe or lounge. "Oh! She means the fight!?" A realization and a question, she turned to Jaqk while speaking it to confirm it.

"I wonder how that happened... Well, we can watch her later. Right now, we should go." Amazing put her card that she still had in her hand in her handbag and then pulled out money to see how much she had. It seemed like it would be enough to expense a few dozen slot games or a few table games. That did not matter though. She had an ace in her sleeve, metaphorically, she wouldn't cheat deliberately. The man known as 'Oosarokoo Jack'. His calm demeanor and quick thinking would probably lend itself to to excel a casino games in her mind. Looking closely enough, one would be able to see that one of Amazing's eyes had a beli symbol and the other had a wine glass. The smile on her face was rather innocent on the outside but hid rather greedy intentions.

"To the casino!" she exclaimed with a fist pump while pointing to the elevator.

It seemed that Grace and himself allowed Sparks to get into the elevator and get to whatever she needed to be getting to and they would wait before calling the elevator back up to their suite. While they were waiting, Jaqk had noticed something odd about the Commander's eyes but had shrugged it off - she didn't appear to be ill so there wasn't much reason to linger on them. It wasn't too long that the elevator had dinged - Jaqk had already called for the elevator back up not too longer after Sparks had made her way down, so that it'd start bringing itself back up once she had got to the floor or whatever she had needed to go to. Ready, and the Commander raring to go, they'd enter the elevator and make their way down.

Earlier, Jaqk had stayed quiet - as usual - but on the long ride down, he spoke-up to his superior; a bit out of character, too, though not so much so to raise any alarms. "I appreciate that thought," -- he said, referring to when Grace mentioned she was looking for something close to the water so that he could fish and spend his time as he usually would, but then returning to character - as the ride down was quite long. "And what was it you wanted me to talk about?" -- she had brought it up earlier to some extent, but was cut-off when Sparks had go the news she was accepted and was able to participate. It's likely she answered the question on the way down, but to not just end so that she can respond.

Arriving, not on the bottom floor, but the floor that lead directly into the casino; one of the many benefits the 'Fleet Admiral Suite' had was that it could get off on nearly any floor; but only those whom had the key-card for the Fleet Admiral Suite could use the special elevator. Stepping out onto the floor, the sounds of the slot machines, roulette tables spinning, some music among other things that casino's had. Considering they had exited from the special suite elevator, they were approached by two ladies clad in rather.. revealing garb, and they each had trays of alcoholic beverages. With a simple, "No thank you." -- from the Fisherman, it's likely that Grace had accepted something (... if not both trays) and then the duo could be back on their way.

"I've never actually be to a casino, I must admit." -- he said to the Commander as they walked, "But you wanted me to accompany you. I will follow your lead. We can do whatever you like, Commander." -- he referred to her as 'Commander' - despite being 'on break' from their duties. And, well, Jaqk was still dressed in his Marine uniform.
