The Casino seemed to be bustling with people on that summer's night. People of all manner came into the festively lit interior and found all manners of fun and thrills. The Trio of the Fortuna flush, who opened this gambling hall moved around it's carpeted floors with ease and in snazzy outfits. Roulette wore quite the hot dress as their little pin up girl to tempt people to come inside, where once there she gave them the coldest shoulder and forced them to play card games. Shark was as casual as ever, even in his tux-like uniform. He had the top button of his dress shirt open because the collar was always too warm in this place. Jack was being his usual smooth self as well, dressed up all fancy white tux that contrasted to his jet black hair, which was in a bit of a bed-head mess for... unexplained reasons... Hmm, kind of suspicious that...

Atlas had been wandering around when he Saw roulette outside the casino, she had just walked in so he'd figured he may as well say hi since he was around. atlas walked into the casino, the assault of visual and audio input, atlas blinked once or twice trying to become accustom to the noise and sights.

Roulette had walked inside to go talk to Jack who was standing by the simple bar area. Because you need to cater for more than one addiction in places like these. Jack looked up at her with a small smirk of a smile, and said something about brunettes, to which roulette scoffed and gave him a small annoyed lecture, which Jack only chuckled at and offered her a drink. She took a shot and a seat, and looked over to Shark. Shark was dealing for Black Jack, having pleasant small talk with the people on the other side, dealing the hands with expert speed. He gave Jack and Roulette a wave when they caught each other's eye. None of them had yet noticed atlas in the crowd.

Atlas cracked his fingers, Some of the dark energy that permeated his being spread, the others around him spread out a bit giving him some space, He took a calm inward breath and headed for the bar.

Jack looked up quickly as someone seemed to part the crowd, "Interesting..." He said simply, with a smooth and thoughtful voice. His gaze was intense and much deeper than it looked. Roulette glanced up too, more with surprise. She wasn't wearing any sort of mask because charmed people would listen to anything she said, which was awesome for business. "Oh it's Atlas, 'e blew up a quarter of the mall the other day... Remember me tellin' ya bout that?" "Ah. Him, yes I believe you mentioned it..." Jack replied coolly. They both simply watched him walk towards the bar until he arrived. "Would you like anything?" He said, leaning forward onto the bar with his elbow and resting his head on his hand.

" No thanks, just happen to be outside and thought i'd stop by and see if roulette was doin okay", he said calmly taking his seat. It seemed that whenever atlas moved he left a shadow of himself in the place where her was

Roulette laughed, "Yeah, I'm doin just fine!" She said, surprised he bothered to check up on her. She pushed some of her blond curly hair behind her ear and asked Jack for another shot. Yes she was drinking on the job, but it didn't matter much. After all, her job was just to sit there and look pretty, or spin a wheel, and she was fairly good at that. Jack gave a small smirk, "So your possessed, or something along those lines. By something called the 'Void? ... How... fascinating." He said, pouring Roulette her glass.

Jack laughed a bit, a small and short sound, but light like tiny bells. His face didn't stay lit up for very long and soon went back to that neutral controlled expression, "Well then you probably possess IT more than it possesses you in this form... Considering how often that must occur... Kind of funny that." He let out a small smile and then poured a cocktail for himself as bartender.
Roulette nearly laughed at Jack's changing expression. The most one would usually get out of him was a chuckle. She knew jack to be very intimidating, or antisocial or the like. He was strange, as far as Roulette was concerned. But she knew he had a good heart underneath his evil one. Like a second layer.

Jack offered his spidery hand towards Atlas' and shook it easily. "Jack..." He said his name slowly as if it was something highly important that should be remembered. He turned his gaze towards Roulette, "And we all know our jewel Roulette..." He said with a small smirk. "Jack stop being an asshole." She said rolling her eyes, but she was smiling.

Jack grinned, "Big." Was all he said. He paused for a moment before continuing, "We were very lucky to have been so successful..." "We did a lotta hard work on this place." Roulette added with a nod, "The three of us. Shark, Jack, and I..." She nodded off towards Shark, who had a few of their other workers take over the black jack and instead was now at the poker table.

"huh, i wonder what the three of you could do if you where put in a prime area, with real advertisement and such", Atlas said musing to himself a bit

Roulette laughed, "That wouldn't work. People upper class look down on gambling. Down here, they look up to it. It's flashy, catches peoples attention in such a dim part of town. People are more desperate... Trust me, this is for the best. Besides, we got out luck down here. We don't want to loose that~." Jack just kind of looked off to the far wall, as if caught up in his own mind. This happened sometimes, and it made him look quite intense...

Roulette shook her head, "We're doing very very well, no need to worry about that. Besides, do you see how busy we are already? This place is basically packed!" She crossed her arms, "Besides, I dont wanna move." She said, sounding quite similar to a spoiled child. Huh I wonder why. Jack snapped back to reality and blinked a few times, before placing his arm around Roulette's shoulders and pulling her close, "You won't have to, sweetheart, you're staying right here..." He said into her ear. Roulette glared at him for a moment and then stuck her heel into his foot. He gritted his teeth and backed away sourly, going off to search for some other chick to 'show affection' to.

Roulette sighed and shook her head, "I swear, He never learns. With anyone, not just me. He's just a horny bastard. Sometimes anyway- He can be okay." She pulled loose a lock of her blond hair in front and twirled the curls around in her fingers boredly. "Know anyone like that?"

Roulette laughed a little, "Hahaha, that's gross that you know that." She said smiling, "My parents... never really talked about themselves, ya know? They'd always be fussing about me, and what I wanted, and what I was hungry for, and what I would look nice in... It was all a bunch of bullshit you know. Sucks really. That's why I left." She went around behind the counter herself to start pouring the drinks, since it was obvious someone decided to take a break (with a girl, in the back room, none the less).

" So i've gotta ask, Do you ever actually make friends and such outside of this little group?", he asked

Roulette rolled her eyes, "Well yeah, but it's more difficult than it might be for you. If they aren't immune to my power it gets really annoying, and if they are they tend to dislike me for some reason. I don't know what it is, but people think I'm a bitch on first glance. It really doesn't make sense..." She started pouring herself a third shot, feeling a lot more talkative.

"Heh. Thanks I guess." She said lightly, before taking the shot in her hand. "I'm gettin tired of shots! What else you got?" She asked... Atlas? Even though she was the one behind the counter...

Atlas went over to the other side of the counter and poured her a rather complicated unknown drink," there that should either knock you out or get ya drunk,", he then said returning to his side of the bar

"Peerfect! Yay!" She said gleefully, taking a big gulp of the stuff, her eyebrows raising at surprise at how it affected the back of her throat. She put the glass down triumphant. "See? I can take it!" She said grinning, "I'm Cool!" she laughed and steadied herself. "I'm not really though. That's just you talking. People talk like that all the time, ya know? But it's just like......--" She had a look on her face like she was gonna continue but had totally spaced out.

Roulette blinked a few times, "Huwhhaa?" Then she saw that he was laughing and started laughing too, in a small fit of giggles. Roulette laughed like a child. More so when she was drunk. "Oh well, it doesn't matter... It does sorta, but whatever. I mean, not really~"
