Blue hair had been combed carefully and fell to one side, revealing a shaved side underneath. Levina wore a tight fitting, knee length cocktail dress that had a deep V down the front revealing ample amount of cleavage on the petite personal assistant. She was at the Blank Slate tonight on her own accord, trying to venture out and find new things to entertain herself.​
It seemed slots was not what was going to do it. A confused look seemed fixed to her face as she pulled the handle time and time again, watching the images spin and change before stopping in a random pattern and nothing happening. It looked like the machine was getting the better of her as a heavy groan came from yet another loss.​
"How is this even possible? Statistically I should have won something by now."​
Hearing her frustration, a gentleman who looked a few years her senior walked up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder before offering to show her to something more fitting. When she felt the hand land on her, Levina stopped and slowly looked up to him. While, yes he was attractive, Levina wasn't some broad that melted by a pretty face.​
"Get. Your hand. Off."​
The demand came forcefully and loud enough for those around her to hear and look over to the scene. Her face matched her voice in showing her displeasure about being touched by a unwelcomed complete stranger.​

A dark suit stood out amongst the numerous flamboyant colors that adorned people's bodies as the Slate got busier and busier. People were hustling and there with servers going around with drinks, people cheering on their fellow gamblers, and prostitutes walking the show floor looking to bring in an extra dollar or two from an amped-up customer. Mixed into all this chaos were the black suit, security. Each one trained in de-escalation and if push came to shove incapacitation. From the security section, they were fed information on all the events in their area but that didn't stop boots on the ground from stopping a problem before it started. At the helm was a tired Inzi whose shift was soon to be over and couldn't wait to get into a bath.

Walking the floor Lucretia greeted familiar faces and checked on the number of tables she passed by during her patrol. The day had been fairly quiet and she only had to deal with one drunkard despite the ample amount of alcohol flowing through the entire venue. In truth, she sort of craved the excitement. With such a tight ship she rarely had to do much busy work herself. So it was for that reason that when she heard what sounded like an unhappy interaction she put on a smile and moved toward it.

As she grew closer and closer a familiar scent grew stronger and stronger and the more her smile grew into a devilish grin. Moving through the crowd with such grace and ease made it clear to anyone she was custom to the environment and had been working here for some time. When the stark blue hair came into view she immediately took notice of the man hovering over Levina. With a firm grip she placed her hand on his shoulder and said. "Is there a problem here mister?" Her strong accent must've startled the man as his eyes went wide when he turned to look at her. Immediately he started stammering on about how he hadn't done anything so instead of listening to his drivel on Lucretia waved a dismissive hand. "Just be on your way dear. There are a number of beautiful women walking the floor if you are willing to pay."

A slight push from her prompted him to start walking away cursing at the embarrassment and situation. When he was out of earshot Lucretia turned to Levina and said "Stalking me now are you?"

Levina had wanted to create enough of a scene so if something happened, there would have been witnesses of her innocence. She had been doing good at staying out of trouble, and with recent developments between her and Mathos she wanted to keep it that way. It seemed to work out, however as a third party got involved. The accent. She recognized it.​
When the man was forcefully moved out of the way after his stammering defense, electric blue eyes laid upon a very familiar figure. That was when it all clicked and a smile crept onto the corners of her mouth.​
"If I was stalking you, I'd have more luck blindfolded doing so than I have had on this wretched machine."​

Lucretia looked at the slot machine and gave a small huff. She'd seen enough people lose money on these machines to find the idea of it idiotic from a base level. Who'd play into something so obviously random and slanted to the casino? But then again it was those idiots that filled her bank account and help keep the image of the Blank Slate alive. "I'm sure it's just your lack of skill with it. Eventually, you'll win and then you'll want to play again. At least that is the human thing to do."

Lucretia rolled her eyes before pulling a card from under her suit and sticking it into one of the slots of the machine. Being the ex-wife of the owner and head of security had its perks such as a casino card with tons of money on it. "Next one is on me, seeing as you got all dressed up and brought the girls to see me I could at least enable your misery." Lucretia took a gentle seat in the machine next to Levina and watched to see if she would spin the machine or make some snarky comment.

"Skill? Seriously? This devil device requires no skill. Unless it's a skill to put money in and pull a handle..."​
Levina was clearly frustrated with the slot machine. Her first outing to a casino was not going well. She was losing money needlessly, hadn't even gotten a drink yet, and to cap it off had some guys grimy hands on her. She huffed frustratingly as she looked up to Lucretia.​
After swiping the card she seemed to bd waiting on something. Well Levina was never one to disappoint.​
"I bring the girls to see everyone. They like the attention."​
Finishing up the comment she pulled the handle and watched the designs spin and change, waiting for what Levina was sure of the inevitable outcome.​

"They can have all of my attention another time but for now...."Her eyes trailed from Levina to the machine which was giving its final results, It was three cherries, not the best but surely better than whatever Levina was getting given her attitude. Lucretia watches the payout numbers on the screen go up as a little more funds were available for Levina to play with given the paltry win.

"See, skill is all it takes you just need to keep at it, little lady...That or I'm your good luck charm." Lucretia gave an entertained Hah before waving over one of the waiters walking around with drinks. She picked up two from the tray and placed it on the small table area next to the machine.
" I find people play better when they have alcohol in their system." Did she want to get Levbina drunk? Not really but that wasn't going to stop her from creating some excitement for the remainder of her shift. If anything went wrong her staff could cover it and if it was important enough for her to need to be involved customers would be running for their lives. "It isn't that blue water you call a drink but it might help." Lucretia made no effort to withhold the coy smirk that was forming.

"But they are showing off today."​
Levina raised an eyebrow at Lucretia and out on a fake pout. Shortly after, the machine registered the win and Levina threw a frustrated hand up in the air. She shook her head and looked back to Lucretia as she sat.​
"How? It makes no sense. What skill is there in it?"​
Lips pursed at the mention of playing better with alcohol in their system. Levina knew better than that. She had used many drunk men and women to get what she wanted, but she was sober the whole time.​
"So if it's not one of my tasty aesthetic drinks, what is it? Do we have to go through this again? We both know I can hang."​
The blue haired dame merely sat at the machine, almost refusing to pull the handle again. The concept of it drove her insane and she didn't want to feed into it.​

"Well considering I don't run the kitchen I have no clue what it is?" The Casino had a strict rule of their employees not drinking unless it was to the benefit of the Casino. However, this exception didn't apply to security and so all she could do was hold the drink to her nose and take a guess. The sweet aroma that came off it filled her nose and with a few seconds to process she finally said: "This is Mead...." Setting the glass back down she slid it over to Levina.


"I've never really cared for the stuff that much but I know some people who would kill for the stuff." Her voice didn't make it seem as if that was a saying at all as she was rather straightforward in her tone. The level of crazy that came through her life was enough that a statement like that couldn't be exaggerated. "So where is your date for the night or did you really come to see me? You finally work up the courage to ask out that person you like" She had an arrogant grin on her face as she asked the question because whatever the answer was she was going to be amused in some way.

Levina took the drink herself and gave the aroma a smell. It had several strong orders that overtook everything else. Fitting from what she heard about the drink. It seemed Lucretia had experienced the drink, or at least the affects the drink had on people.​
"I came alone tonight. Is that allowed? I'm trying to broaden my horizons, though this machine has other plans about that."​
Had she worked up the courage to ask out the person she had fallen for? Not exactly. She merely smiled at the thought of that night and what had happened.​
"For the record, we had a lovely dinner and evening together. But since you're here, I'm here, and I'd rather not keep looking at this machine, I'm happy to have company."​
A small smile came on her face before she sipped the mead. It wasn't as tasty as what she usually drank, but it still had plenty of kick. Levina could see why people enjoyed it.​

Lucretia raised a curious eyebrow before making an exaggerated awww sound " I thought we've already been over this sweetie I wouldn't want to wreck so a relationship with your partner. As much as you obviously want me." Lucretia leaned against the machine with a satisfied smirk. It had been a few weeks since she had just taken a personal day to spend time with some company. Most of her crossings with her friends were more business-related and left her more focused than relaxed.

Lucretia's eyes wander over Levina's outfit once more as it helped further draw an image of what type of person she was. Lucretia was the dress type but she could appreciate a well put together outfit. Her suit did a great job of diminishing her feminine Inzi features to the point that if you hadn't seen her without her work attire you'd assume she had a small chest and was just a solid body of muscle. " If the day does come that the two of you break up then maybe we can talk about getting you and the girls some attention." She gave a strong chuckle "For now you'll just have to deal with your urge for me in a more recreational way, like gambling."

Lucretia pulled the lever in front of Levina and watched as the symbol stopped on three cherries again. "Huh, maybe I am your good luck charm" she smirked.
