Who: Kakia, Open to anyone.
Where: Monte Carlo, Eden Resort, Casino Floor
When: Early Evening
Warnings: Will update if needed.



While Kakia generally preferred games that required a bit of skill when gambling herself, there was something to be said for games of chance in a casino. Sure, one could hedge their bets or follow a strategy, but there came a point in most games of chance where one had to simply place their bet and hope that lady luck was smiling down on them. In Monte Carlo, the king of all games was Roulette, and that's where she sat, at the high bet table, watching the dealer work his magic.

She liked roulette in Monte Carlo, it was one of the few places in the world the old tables were still used, with the layout on either side and the wheel in the middle. And she did like the high rollers... When they played poker or blackjack they played to win, but roulette was played for fun. Most had a certain level of class or style about them, particularly at a resort of Eden's caliber, but there were always some who came to wave their money about. All too often they were American, for some reason.

Kakia was there to test her luck like any other, placing her bets with no strategy at all. She was playing on account, winning just slightly more often than she lost. Given that she had extremely strict rules for herself against cheating, she would have been pleased, had she actually been paying attention. Usually a source of invigoration for her, she was just as listless on the gambling floor as she'd been in most of her other ventures of late, vim and vigor having fallen by the wayside.

She placed her order for another martini to the closest waitress and placed her bet on the layout, nose curling lightly as she heard a patron arguing with the dealer. Looking up she listened for a moment, sighing as she heard the flat twang of he accent and took in the outfit - expensive jeans, silk shirt... the lack of style was appalling. And the topic of discussion... on any other night she'd have found the man's insistence that "the double green zero was his lucky bet, and what was wrong with the table and why couldn't he bet it" amusing... tonight it just annoyed. After a moment, she finally lifted her head, offering the man a particularly feral glare.

"Oh for fuck's sake... you're in Europe, not America. There is no double zero here. Just place your bet already, you stupid prat... the rest of us would like to get a move on." He hesitated only a moment before placing his bet, and she offered the dealer a simple nod. There were things she simply was not in the mood for.

"You want me to be a dick? I can pull some Styx out if you'd like."

He made himself at home when they entered her suite. Finding a nice couch to lounge on.

"Beer if you've got it. Whatever if you don't. You gonna take advantage of me now that we're alone?"

"No, I've already seen Styx recently. She was kind enough to point out what I was doing wrong in life, and how to fix it." That earned him a smile... Styx really didn't bother her like she seemed to bother some others.

Beer she had. Selecting a German brew she popped the cap, and handed it to him before taking a seat beside him, martini in hand.

"Are you hoping I do? No one seems to be respecting my Lenten vow... you're all terrible, terrible Christians."

"You and your weird obsession with the Christians. It's kinda odd, you know."

He took a swig of his beer. "Nice choice, by-the-way."

"I wouldn't call it an obsession. Simply an interest." Kakia smirked lightly as he approved of the beer. "I do hope you're weren't expecting Budweiser..."

Kicking off her shoes, she shifted a bit on the sofa, leaning her back against his shoulder. "I shouldn't be this miserable."

"Really, any beer is a-ok with me."

He leaned his head on her's, "Then why are you, baby girl?"

"I don't know."

She shifted just enough to pull his arm over her shoulder, and sighed. "I shouldn't be bummed about this wedding. And I don't know if I am just upset at losing my best friend, or if it's the idea that there's something more. But I don't know what it is."

Dolos brought her closer when she put his arm around her and put both his feet up on the coffee table.

"I don't think you're losing your best friend. Momos is still gonna be there for you." His eyes shifted to her, "You're not...in love with him are you?"

"in love with him? Oh dear god, don't be ridiculous." She shook her head at the idea. "No, I love him dearly, much like I love you dearly. But in love? Hardly. And yeah, he's there. Not really, though. He'll still be there, but I've still been mostly replaced. He doesn't need me anymore." She frowned, teeth biting down on her lip. She was not going to cry over something so silly... you reached an age at around 500 when crying was just not done.

"That's not true, doll. You stood up for him at his wedding. You clearly mean a lot to him. Besides, he'll need you when Ate goes crazy, which you know, she will." He really just ignored her getting ready to cry. Until she actually let the tears go, he was just gonna pretend they weren't about to happen.

"She already is crazy. And it is true, and stop trying to pretend it's not." Growling, she reached up, wiping under her eye with the heel of her hand. "I used to be the person he went to about all the important stuff. Now I'll be the person he goes to if someone else isn't around or has gone more batshit than usual. It's not the same. And it all makes me think there's something more to all this that I'm completely missing. Because I will never have that."

"How do you know that? You may meet some nice Mayan god that knows how to pump it just right and then Momos will be standing up for you! You never know what will happen, doll."

"Oh, shut up. I don't want to fall in love. And a Mayan... Really?" Balling her fist, she punched his thigh grumpily. "It's just... I'm tired of being seen as someone good for only one thing, or one of a select few things. And 'Mos found that something more, and in his case it was falling in love with the only person able to possibly out bitch Styx. And the rest of us are just doing the same shit we always do, and have been doing. And I feel like there is nothing else to do. And I don't want ot go get some job or anything dumb like that. I'm mostly happy. I just... I don't know. Someone to want me and not what I am. For anything. I have no idea what I'm talking about." And somewhere during that the tears had started silently, mostly ignored as they trailed down her cheek.

At the sight of the tears, Dolos' eyes went a little wide. It wasn't everyday Kakia cried, "Hey, hey now! Who sees you as good for only one thing? And who doesn't want you for you? Am I going to have to fuck somebody up?"

She sniffed. "Everyone. No one. Even you wanted to know if I was going to have my way with you. 70 gabillion years old, and the idea of 6 weeks without sex shocks people. And no, you're too pretty."

"So...you're saying you think people only want you for your body? And darling, we're Greek. We ply our trade and we fuck. What exactly are you looking for? And don't just say more."

"And we wonder why we no longer rule the civilized world. Dolos, I love what I do. Vice in all its forms. Greed and envy and jealousy and yeah, lust. I wouldn't trade it for a box of nickles. I'm not saying they only want my body... although really, who wouldn't? They only want the vice. It's all 'Oh, Vice? Let's get kinky.' until I just want to say forget it. Which I did, and everyone gets on me for being in a mood. Is it really so wrong for me to want to be seen as something more than a divine whore?"

"If anyone is a divine whore, it's Kia. I mean really. But doll, you're more than just lust, more than just bondage and whips. Have you thought about moving out of your safety zone? Maybe going to New York for a bit? Work with the greed for a bit? Or Hollywood? Ply the envy? Seems like maybe you're just surrounded by people who have tasted your apple and just want more." Dolos wiped the tear tracks off her cheeks.

Lifting her head, she smiled a bit, tilting her head lightly into his hand. "Maybe. Hollywood's usually a bit much for even me. And I like the greed here. I think I'll be ok... I feel better just... telling someone. Even if it is you." Kakia sat up a bit, and leaned her forehead in against his. "I know I'm more than lust and the rest. But can you tell me I'm more than Vice, and mean it? The truth."

She was asking for the wrong person for the truth but he'd try. He looked at her for a minute and sighed.

"Darling, if you weren't more than Vice, you wouldn't be upset about possibly losing your best friend. You wouldn't love your family. You wouldn't have friends. If someone can't see past your powers to you? Than they aren't really looking."

He shook his head when he was done and moved his mouth like there was a bad taste in it. "Bleh. Don't make me do that again. Truth tastes weird."

"Awww. Poor thing..." Laughing, she leaned in and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him tight. "I'm sorry. Thank you, baby." She relaxed her arms, pulling her head back enough to kiss his cheek. "You know you're my favorite little brother, yes?"

He held her tight and laughed. "I'm your only little brother, but I can't say no to a compliment."

Leaning back, he looked at her. "Do you feel any better?"

"It's not my fault you were the only one who waited til I was born to come along." She nodded and smiled, settling back to lean against him, though more casually - no matter what her mood, Kakia was the tactile sort. "I do. At least a bit. A lot." Grinning, she nipped his jaw lightly. "You staying tonight, or back to the grind of outlawing everything fun in America?

"Heh. Good. I don't like it when you're sad Kakia." He didn't mind being touched, even if it was just platonic. "I can do either. It's not like I have to factor in travel time."

"I don't like being sad Kakia." She smiled, absently playing with the hair at the nape of his neck. "And good... then you'll stay. I'll make you cuddle, but not actually shag you, since, you know, it's not Sunday. Practice for when you marry Oizys."

"Well, ok. But just remember, I'm pure and can't have you touching me where you aren't allowed, so only over the shirt and nothing below the waist." He picked her up and took her into the bedroom. "And remember, no taking advantage."
