Silva stares back at Raven with a baffled expression, then says, "That doesn't help a whole lot. Do you mean the stuff that usually tastes sweet? Or the place that makes you sweat?"[OOC: Silva is honestly confused. When pronounced rather than typed, "desert" and "dessert" *do* sound very much alike! ]

Or the place that makes you sweat?"[OOC: Silva is honestly confused. When pronounced rather than typed, "desert" and "dessert" *do* sound very much alike! ] "Now, now, children!" Blackjack laughs, "Raven, go ahead and have your dessert. Ping and I will go take a look at the gaming tables."
Blackjack swipes his card through the table's slot, "That covers the meals. I'll let you cover the dessert, Captain." He stands and moves away from the table toward the doorway to the gaming rooms.

Dropping some of the local coins beside his stacked dishes, Silva pushes back his chair and follows Blackjack toward the gaming tables.
[OOC: Peng may be lazy and cheap, but he never stiffs service people. He knows how hard they work for the little they make, plus how much crap they have to take from the public.]

Raven asks the waitress for the menu to check on the desserts and inquires for what she would recommend.

Peng tosses a longing glance over his shoulder at where Raven remains seated - Wish I could figure out how to work that. Oh, well. Maybe in my next lifetime. - but then falls with Blackjack, as the two of them weave their way through the dining section toward the flashing lights and blaring sounds of the gambling section.
"So, what are you feelin' like tonight?" Peng asks his nominal superior, raising his voice to be heard over the swelling noise. "Your namesake? Or something else?"

Raven asks the waitress for the menu to check on the desserts and inquires for what she would recommend. The recommendation is something called a "Volcano Bakewell." It is described as a funnel of flaky pastry filled with a fruit jam completed by raspberry cream lava and almond boulders flowing down the sides of the volcano. If Raven orders this it is served with a flambe of Amaretto lighted at the table. The dessert is easily large enough for two.

Blackjack trades in a 100 credit note for a few chips, "Anything the house gets from us tonight we won't have a chance to get back, so be careful."

If the rest of the evening is eating a dessert and a bit of light gambling tell me and we'll head back to the ship. [OOC: I don't see anything else to do, although I suspect Mighty Darci might want to have Raven do some gambling herself before we leave.]Peng nods at Blackjack and says, "Sounds reasonable."He's not as much of a risk taker, however. Once he's lost Cr50, Peng decides he's done and ready to go back to the ship. [OOC: As the GM may or may not remember, one of Peng's "goals" upon touching down was to find a little female companionship - of the paid variety, if the "free" variety didn't seem possible - since it has (by definition) been at least a week since he's had any other than Rosie Palm And Her Five Sisters . . . ]

A dessert like this once in a blue moon won't kill me.

Fifty credits poorer and not much (if any) wiser, Peng wanders back toward their former table and overhears Raven's last.
After looking back over his shoulder toward the gaming section and not immediately seeing Blackjack, Peng turns back to Raven and asks, "Want me to corral our illustrious leader?"

Silva locates Blackjack and delivers Raven's message, then accompanies said worthy to Raven's location. Silva walks into the casino and looks around. There is a large crowd surrounding the roulette table. He doesn't see Blackjack anywhere so he wanders over to the crowd and finds Blackjack there with several tall stacks of chips on the table in front of him. As Peng looks on Blackjack places large bets on several numbers and there is a roar from the crowd as one of his numbers come up on the wheel! Another large stack of chips is pushed over toward him. Blackjack seems oblivious to the crowd around him looking totally focused on the board and the wheel. Eris Ref

OOC: We will need to hang out until Blackjack is willing to leave. Cannot abandon him here by himself, its not safe especially if he is winning.

OOC: We will need to hang out until Blackjack is willing to leave. Cannot abandon him here by himself, its not safe especially if he is winning. Raven and her group mill around near the exit for a minute or two as they decide what to do... OOC: I don't have a problem with some (or all) of you breaking off and heading back to the ship, if you want to. Those that don't leave need to decide what to do...
1. Go into the casino to see what Blackjack is up to and/or gamble 2. Go into the bar to drink a bit 3. Talk to the big man standing next to the stairs and see what is going on upstairs. 4. Other?
...I'm not trying to hold things up, but Blackjack seriously doesn't want to leave right now.

Patrons pass you to the door. They eye you're group milling around in the foyer with some interest...clearly standing here isn't a normal practice.
You notice that several of the larger members of the club's staff are also eyeing your group. You might say they are giving you the "fish eye." No one has approached you yet, but they are going to ask you to move along soon...

...I'm not trying to hold things up, but Blackjack seriously doesn't want to leave right now. We are not milling around, I was giving someone else a chance to chime in. It looks like it is just the two of us. By hangout I did not mean mill in the doorway, when I said we are not leaving without Blackjack I did not mean be conspicuous. And I don't think I want to know what goes on upstairs.Patrons pass you to the door.

No one has approached you yet, but they are going to ask you to move along soon... Sorry I did not respond quickly enough.Having decided not to leave (it wouldn't do for Blackjack to get mugged or worse on the way back to the ship with a wad of cash) Raven shepherds her companions back to the bar and buys them a round, pays for a second and leaves a tip. She tells them to take their time which she checks out Blackjack's situation. Then she turns and heads into the casino to keep an eye on Blackjack and place a few bets herself (small ones on the same numbers Blackjack is playing).

Then she turns and heads into the casino to keep an eye on Blackjack and place a few bets herself (small ones on the same numbers Blackjack is playing). Raven enters the casino and notes the crowd around the roulette table. She walks over to the window and exchanges credits for chips. There is a chart on the wall displaying what the various chips are worth. OOC: How much does she exchange for chips?The crowd cheers loudly as she nears the roulette table and she sees the croupier pushing a large pile of chips over to Blackjack who already has several sizable stacks of chips in front of him. A quick calculation in Raven's head indicates that there must be a couple hundred thousand credits in those stacks! She also notes that there are several large men in dark suits on the out skirts of the crowd and a pair of well dressed men standing behind the croupier. The croupier calls, "Place your bets ladies and gentlemen!" Blackjack places bets, mostly on the lines between numbers, not really large bets. It looks like several people in the crowd are doing the same, following Blackjack's lead.
