Nina pushed through the employees door swiping as she went. Here the second one is Quentins office.
She knocks on the door and sticks her head around it. Quentin here is a new one, Smithy brought him in.
Send him in we still have a few job vacancies
Adrian slipped through the door and came to attention in front of Quentin
You certainly look the part, which base are you from?
Zhentil Keep sir, I'm a Bounty Hunter by trade. Here are my travelling papers he hands over the bounty paperwork and watches Quentin read them.
Quentin leans back in chair so you expect him to come here?
That's what my contacts tell me, we could split the bounty.
So we could. What's your name?
Adrian Swiftear the humans find it easier to use a human name, less threatening see.
You've obviously talked to Smithy about a place in the security detail and I can not quibble about his choices. I tell you what we'll take you on for a week and see how you do. Collect uniforms from the Laundry keep your normal weapons in hand. I hope that you can use those daggers?
The daggers have always stood me well. Thank you for the chance to work here, it makes a nice change from being on the road.
Quentin pulls open a drawer and takes out a passcard Here you'll need this. The salary is 2 pieces of silver per day, we'll think about a better wage after your trial week. Do you need lodging in Havensend? There is a barracks for the Casino personnel, and also the Dock and Duck Inn.
Adrian nodded I've a bed at the Inns common room.
Good, Welcome to the Afterlife Casino family!
Adrian watches Quentin write in his ledger he looks up as if wondering why Adrian was still there, call me Quentin that's what all the other staff do.
Adrian turns and leaves the room to find Nina waiting. She smiled at him So you are one of use now. I'll show you the mirror security room, the lads there are always thirsty, we'll get a tray of small beer from the employees rest room.
"What do you say, time to get changed for our first day at the Afterlife Casion?"The young dark-haired lady says with an excited smile as she has finished up her light breakfast, ready to go up to their room and turn into Lilith before taking the punt downriver to the casino.
"I'm ready as soon as I finish this," she says down to her plate of eggs and fish. Though the speed at which she eats that will only take another moment or so.
Adrian and Nina duck into the employees lounge. The two Teiflings already there give a nod of hello and return to reading and playing a game of solitaire.
Nina catches up a tray and places a jug of beer on it. She nudges Adrian to pick up four tankards, which he does smoothly. They proceed out of the lounge and knock on the door directly opposite.
Smithy opened the door, next time use your pass card he grumbles but his eyes light up at the beer. They share it around Adrian taking one for himself. He wanders up and down the Mirrors on the wall. He can see virtually the whole Casino. This is where you'll be working Smithy says and pours more beer. The rest of the team is Frei, Harald, and Puck, with one of the team in Cania on guard duty, he's Daren.
Come and sit here whilst you drink, he pulls out one of the chairs in front of the mirrors Avernus.
Adrian drinks his small beer watching the Mirror intently wondering when Lilith will appear. Is each mirror set up for one location or do they change? He asked Smithy
Here is a plan of the mirrors in the Casino, we're pretty flexible here, just swop seats if you want to keep an eye on someone. Frei and Daren keep an eye on our tournament room, you can't swop jobs with them. I'll keep you on Avernus for now. That's these two mirrors. Keep an eye open for card sharks and people with a system. Watch the hostesses they often get approached by criminals and we have a jail for them here.
Meet me here tomorrow and wear the uniform.
Adrian looked at Nina, time for the laundry. What about places the mirrors don't pick up he whispered to her as they left the security office.
She waited until the door closed then said, a man after my own heart, smoker?
Yes, pipe smoker, I take it that the employees lounge have a no smoking policy?
You can smoke at the entrance to the casino where the punts are lined up, or use one of the dead zones.
Exa similarly uses their room to retake her tiefling form and to don her uniform. She grins with anticipation all the while, before presenting herself ready for departure to the casino.
The pink tiefling exits the room, practically glowing in his hellish new ensemble as he heads to meet the punt. Once again he pretends not to know the others very well for the sake of appearances.
Nina leads the way out of the employees area. Here's my favourite place for a smoke, she gestures towards the spa and baths, if you have the coin you can relax in the baths and have a smoke off duty.
On duty, here by the spiral staircase down to Nessus. The laundry is a good place for a smoke as well, you can slip the washerwomen a copper or two to bathe in the vats, cheaper than the baths. She pushed her way into the Laundry and asked for some uniforms for Adrian.
He carefully unwrapped his pipe and gestured towards the women Is there anyone who wants to share? He took out his rich leaves and filled the churchwarden, then lit up and passed it around whilst being measured for clothes. A small circle surrounding him.
The ferryman grunts at them, did he even have a tongue, so far all interactions have been silent.
He quickly transports them to the docks at the Casino, then turns back for another run.
Liriel waves at them. Don't you look the part in uniform she says. Do you need a quick escort to your work places or are you good? Mavilius you are in Nessus the underground restaurant. Exa you are on a card table in Dis, the one next to the rat racers.
(OOC we have decided to automatically assume a punt trip in the future.)
The bard gives a warm smile to Liriel. "I can make my way on my own, thank you. Say, do you know what time Quentin usually dines, and a favorite song of his perhaps? A favorite anything really. I'd like to prepare a special performance to impress the boss man, you know. Let him know how much I appreciate this opportunity."

Lilith
Down from the room upstairs comes the alluring tiefling in the red uniform, ready to leave for the Casino to start her first day as a hostess.
Mavilius
The bard returns to their room and changes into his new uniform before heading back downstairs as well, eager to begin their first day.
((Can we get an image of the male uniform?))
OOC Best I could do about a uniform
Exa
Exa similarly uses their room to retake her tiefling form and to don her uniform. She grins with anticipation all the while, before presenting herself ready for departure to the casino.
DM
A punt stands ready on the jetty, his companions already ferrying the other staff members to work.
Mavilius
The pink tiefling exits the room, practically glowing in his hellish new ensemble as he heads to meet the punt. Once again he pretends not to know the others very well for the sake of appearances.
Exa
Exa's tiefling form, complete with rust-coloured skin and broken horn, now dressed in her dealer's uniform, waits at the dock as well.
DM
The boatman gestures at the party. No words were spoken, just a sweep of his arm towards his punt. Two per boat you couldn't all fit on the same one.

Exa also boards the punt with a toothy grin to the boatman.

Exa
When they arrive and Liriel greets them, Exa gives her a playful bow.
"Ready to sling some cards," she says excitedly. It's almost as if she might be looking forward to the card table as much as their heist.
"I can find my way, no worries," she adds. It will give her a chance to briefly scope the day's clientele.
Catch you at break time! Liriel says.
Mavilius
The bard gives a warm smile to Liriel. "I can make my way on my own, thank you. Say, do you know what time Quentin usually dines, and a favorite song of his perhaps? A favorite anything really.
