*its an hour off of doing anything that Jeckle finally feels up to trying to get the parts started. she shakes her head about the reactor. that is just beyond her understanding at this time. she shakes her head and vents loudly once 'i'm a bloody weapons designer .. not an elelctrician .. jeez'
*that out of her system, she starts in on the Module. she plans on leaveing Dante to figure out he Reactor. it's just beyond her understanding at this time. she shakes her head about how Tiger could have possibly done this mini version built.
'smart? .. guess not. needed? .. not at this time. stick around? .. jury's still out on that one' *she spends her time working on the Module first.

Dante had to be even more careful about drinking. He looked around a room, and he began to transport the liquid in the cup to other cups around the room using his ability to teleport objects.

Strongbow stays out of Jeckle's way, though her curiosity is getting to her. Maybe Dante can tell me more about it when he gets back. She flight checks the plane and gets them some fuel and supplies while she waits, though food and water cost a fortune due to the chaos of the evacuation.

Kris' long years of training consuming alcohol, and Dante's ability to make it disappear eventually "win" them an invitation the the VIP area.
After a short elevator ride, they find themselves in a much cozier penthouse suite. Tiger and Akane are probably just overhead. Here there are a few well dressed gangsters. One sits watching TV and texting while hostesses bring him drinks, and a couple more are playing cards with some cute girls.
The bartender looks like another sumo wrestler. He smiles, waves the two of them over and discretely asks for ten thousand to start their tab. With their winnings, plus the money Tiger gave them, they have plenty of money. Almost 30,000 put together, even with all the hundred dollar drinks downstairs. There are no prices on anything - not on the sake, or the champagne, and the card players don't lay any money down on any hands. But it all has a price. Somewhere, maybe behind mirrored glass someone is adding up each drink and each hand of cards and probably an hourly rate.
The place smells a little like reefer and Kris and Dante can guess that parties later in the evening get pretty wild. Once they start the tab, the bartender will mix them any drink they want, though they can see in his eyes that it all has the champagne price tag so there is no sense in going cheap.
Drinks in hand, a gorgeous girl waves them over to a card table she has set up. The table is marble and the chairs are comfy leather chairs with oversized armrests where hostesses can sit. "You like cards right?" she asks charmingly. Her accent is perfectly American, and she looks asian-american - not quite Japanese. She isn't as beautiful as Akane, but her dress is an amazing light blue silk number, with a long slits up both sides of the skirt. The neckline is conservative, coming to her throat like a half turtle neck, but it is tight, and it is clear she wears no bra. Her makeup is perfect and her perfume is deliciously subtle. Her jewelry is tasteful, refined, and worth stealing.
Among the other girls, she stands out - prettier than Tiger or Strongbow or any of the other girls here and obviously an expert at looking good. Just the way she looks at Kris and Dante is enough to take a man's breath away, with the cutest smile.
She sets aside the jokers from a fresh deck and starts laying out cards.

Khris again let his abilities reach out. He knew there was another of them here somewheres, making it look like he was admiring the dealer as he did. at the same time, he thought On your toes, Brain Boy, that tab cut into our cushion big time

Kris is able to feel Tiger and Akane on the roof. But even closer than that is the card girl, radiating power like a beacon. Something about her doesn't feel like the normal level of health, both more sick and more healthly... probably some kind of power.
She watches Kris and Dante, sizing them up, then she winks and gives them a come thither stare.

On the roof Tiger swears under her breath as she looks through her scope. Then she whispers, "Akane, the north building, the roof. Right next to the cooling unit. See something?"
And indeed, down on the roof of an adjacent building is a man watching the basement entrance with binoculars.

Khris' eyes widen a bit as he realizes it was the dealer. I wish I could tell what their powers were, not just who has them. Khris thought, hoping Dante was still doing his thing I found her, now you just gotta do what Tiger said once we found her He left out the part that the alcohol he had consumed was fogging just things enough that he couldn't remember.

Khris picked up his cards, then looked over at Dante," Did you figure out any of those stupid riddles that were on that radio call-in show? I mean come on, how are you supposed to measure out four gallons of water exactly if you only have three and five gallon containers to do it with?"

The dealer leisurely crosses her pretty legs, and smiles. She is about to lose a hand, but she doesn't seem all that bothered by it. "Oh, subtraction I guess. Fill the five, use it to fill the three, then you've got a couple left in the five. Empty the three and put those two from the five in there. Then when you fill up the five again and top off the three, you will have subtracted one from five and you'll have four."
As she lays down her losing cards, she seems amused. "Oh, I lost. Shall we raise the stakes?"

Khris looked like he was trying to check her answer in his head, though he already knew she was right. " You made that sound easy." Got a possible here he thought as he waited for his next hand" I suppose you could figure the second one too? If you count the tail how many legs does a dog have?"

Jeckle stares at a sheet of paper in front of her. the lines and specs of the next piece stare back. 'there's gotta be a way about this. i can understand till that section. oh jeez my brain hurts trying to digest this all. well, while the cats are away ... this mouse wants to go on strike .. bah'
*she tidies the section and straps things away. 'this mouse is takin a nap .. maybe i'll understand better in my sleep ... ' *she then moves over to a seat and settles in and straps herself in so she wont fall on her face, and inside of 15 seconds, is deep asleep

Dante keeps tabs on Kris' thoughts, sending him an occasional acknowledgment. 'You may be right, keep going, I'm going to try and pick up her thoughts, but if she detects me, we may have a problem.'
Dante then reaches out and just barely touches the outer reaches of the dealers thoughts. Out loud he says, "excuse me for being so forward, but you are quite beautiful. I mean I dare say you are one of the prettiest women I have ever met. I hope that when the game is over maybe we can spend some time together," playing into his playboy roll with a flirting glare.
He says to Kris in his mind, 'you say one word of this to Strongbow, I'll tell the boss you haven't stopped staring at this ones cleavage.'

Akane turns and faces the area she is speaking of and squints to see if she can see anything. "You wish for me to go check them out?"
