backdated to before the heist

[emberserker]

[Wolfsbane's been training in the back alleys of the residential district almost constantly. She strikes at a dummy with her axe over and over, splitting it with a scream, and follows up with a fireball shot at a disposal bin that lights the contents on fire. Seething, she stares at it.]

I'll show him to say that rubbish about me.

[She finally does have to stop for a moment, though, and that's how she ends up in the Neon Light Graveyard, staring up at a giant sign for something called "Old West Casino," complete with sexy cowgirl posing with blinking light-up eyes and a neon lasso that moves up and down.]

That must have been a whole theme, until they got tired of it. Always looking for something new to keep their attention, aren't they?

[Why is she here.

Speaking of casinos, though, she'll show up at the Et Voila Casino again, just to check out what the Spectres are saying about the calling card. Though she pauses in front of a slot machine with a weird name, shakes her head, and walks away, muttering to herself.]

You're famous, Mona.

[Wolfsbane snaps her head up and blinks, then frowns.]

It isn't as if there's anything to do here but entertainment. Which I suppose also answers the question of "what do you want." Everyone else here's after the same thing... that and answers about that mystery announcement.

[It's a wonder she's being this cooperative, honestly.]

[heir_to_ruin]

[The way she says "mystery" announcement implies that she's playing along but at the same time being so dismissive of him and.... well pretty much everyone else is not exactly the kind of rumor spreading Mona really meant.]

Uh yeah? You think there's answers here?

[Okay, nix the kabedon. Just gonna lean oh so casually against the wall instead. He did not expect her to actually be even remotely helpful. (He honestly expected her to snap at him to go away.)]

[emberserker]

[She turns away and crosses her arms, looking at Moon Maidens like it personally offended her.]

Someone must, they're all chittering about it. I heard one say these 'mystery thieves' must be going to break into her house. Misdirection or telephone, I suppose. Actually, where does she live? It clearly isn't the slum.

[heir_to_ruin]

Huh... y'know that's a good question.

[It's just a slot machine, it can't hurt you Wolfsbane.]

But they've already proven that they can break into the bank, why would they go after her home?

[emberserker]

The Spectres are so empty-headed, they might believe anything. But I suppose whatever keeps her guessing.

[heir_to_ruin]

[He has a moment of glancing around uncertainly, the casual way she differentiates them making him nervous. He needs to maintain the guise of remaining unawakened, whatever else she might say.]

Everyone certainly seems to be on their toes! But... I'm a little curious too, y'know?

[Just skimming over the spectre thing entirely, just like they would.]

[emberserker]

Naturally. Otherwise you wouldn't be talking to me. [She raises her eyebrows.] So what is it you're thinking?
