I Think I'm Turning Japanese

<snip>
Jacky stared for a moment, in shock. Not the bad kind of shock, either. More of a delayed impact of the event. As they started to fade into the distance, Jacky ran after them.
"Jaxx! Evelina! Oh, god! I'm so happy to see you!" He shouted.
"What luck, Jaxx!" Evelina said. "If he's here, then he must know where the others are! We'll be done in no time!"
Jacky frowned.
"I don't actually know." he admitted. "I kind of thought you knew where they were."
The three were silent.
"So then. I guess... carry on."

Skutter Jaxx, Evelina and Jacky continued their search for the others as they walked down the street. The street was busy with people going to and from bar, casinos, food joints, entertainment places and wedding chapels. Evelina looked around and said, “Wow Jaxx this place is like one big party place. You can do what ever you want no matter what time it is. You can gamble, eat, catch a show or get married at any hour.” Skutter Jaxx looked around and then at Evelina as he replied in his monotone voice, “Yeah no kidding Eve babe I wish I had my body back so we could like have some fun and stuff.” Jacky walked by quietly as he felt a bit nervous by the chaotic crowd. Evelina giggled at Skutter Jaxx as she asked, “So what did you have in mind other than going to a Sci-Fi Convention and winning the a Battle Bots Tournament?” Jacky looked at Skutter Jaxx and asked, “You won a Battle Bots Tournament?” Skutter Jaxx replied, “Yeah dude I was helping out a young girl and her dad so they could help me find you guys. It was easy since they moved so slow and all.” Jacky said, “Oh yeah I guess that makes sense. So did they help you then?” Evelina replied, “Well sort of. While Jaxx was helping them out I saw him fight on the Tele and was able to find him when I was working a modeling gig at the Convention.” Jacky nodded in response as he continued to walk along Evelina and Skutter Jaxx.

After walking a good ways Evelina need to make a bathroom break so they entered the closest casino nearby and as Skutter Jaxx and Jacky patiently they looked around to see many people seriously gambling and drink. The casino seemed to have a Samurai Theme to it. A drunken guy who was being escorted out by security by dropped a chip on the floor by Skutter Jaxx. Skutter Jaxx looked at the coin and then the man being carried out before picking up the coin. After Evelina walked out of the ladies room Skutter Jaxx said, “Hey Eve babe some dude dropped this. What is it?” Evelina looked at the coin and said, “It looks like a brown gambling coin. Not sure what it is worth but lets test our luck at on of the tables.” The three Dwarfers made their way to a roulette table and Evelina put her brown chip down. The cute Asian female dealer finished taking bets and spun the wheel. Everyone waited with anticipation as the wheel slowed down and landed on the green “00” slot. Many people booed and walked off as the dealer only had one winner. The dealer looked at Evelina as she said, “Well it looks like we have a winner on “00” green.” Evelina was shocked she won $175,000 in chips. As Evelina was collecting her winnings some Asian men in suits offered to offer complementary rooms and service as they process her winnings.

One of the men escorted the three Dwarfers up the elevator to the penthouse and gave them an escort to a luxurious room and after a brief tour he left them alone. Evelina looked around at the room and was in awe as she began looking around. Skutter Jaxx scanned the room and was amazed how nice it was as Jacky looked around. After the three Dwarfers explored the room they were greeted at the door by room service who brought several trays of gourmet foods such as lobster, shrimp, steak, sushi, steamed veggies, deserts, champagne and so on. Evelina and Jacky enjoyed their meal as they surfed the TV to see what was on.
