BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS: THE AMERICAN WAY

Wes arrived in a black suit on his slick black motorcycle with a friend riding on the back. Wes hated formal events with a passion. Suits were stuffy and he never met anyone he could relate with in the slightest at events like this. They were all just for smiles and media and to give the world an overall "Everything is OK." vibe especially when it wasn't.

On the upside he had Rui with him who looked stunning and this event took place at a casino, meaning he'd be able to get a decent drink and do a little bit of gambling if he felt up to it. Upon arriving he parked his Bike in one of those VIP parking spaces and helped Rui off. "You ready for this?" The man asked the girl while it was still quiet. Wes then opened the door letting the girl go first before entering himself. Upon entering the Casino Wes was hit with noise from each and every side of the building. He scanned the area and was able to recognize a couple of famous battlers, Like Grimsly of the Elite 4 and Caitlin of the Elite 4, He saw Alder the Champion of Unova as well. He had read about all of these people at one point or another maybe he'd confront them later.

He also knew that kid would be running around. He hadn't seen him in awhile but he heard that the government sent Micheal over as well. Wes didn't hate Micheal but he could feel Micheal's distaste for him which made the red headed boy a pain to be around. "Alright, I'm gonna go get a drink feel free to come with me if you want." Wes sighed lightly and made his way over to the bar.

Admittedly, riding on a motorcycle was not the easiest thing in the world to do when one was wearing a dress. Although she didn’t mind riding on a motorcycle in the slightest, particularly not Wes’, Rui had found it more challenging than she previously imagined. The black cocktail dress came to just above her knees, despite the fact it was the end of winter. The cold didn’t bother Rui much for this occasion, seeing as it was rare she’d ever wear a dress and heels, much less ride side-saddle upon the back of a motorcycle clinging to Wes’ waist whilst wearing it.

They pulled into the parking lot of the building where the event was being held and she dismounted easily, taking his hand to do so. Rui entered the building shortly before Wes and took in the scenery that surrounded them. Noise had hit her as soon as she entered the Casino. There were people everywhere, and drinks galore to accompany them. Couple drinking with gambling, and Rui knew there could only be a plethora of poor decisions being made in one night. The thought made her smile slightly. Gambling against a drunk would most likely earn someone a helping of winnings.

If Wes was at all interested in gambling, she would take part. However, she was the social butterfly between the two of them, so any talking would probably be done through her. She knew she would be able to influence Wes towards one or two things if he felt the least bit compelled to do something but wasn’t sure if he was going to go through with the action.

She nodded and followed Wes towards the bar, slipping her hand against the inside of his arm as she allowed him to lead her. Scanning her careful blue eyes over the crowd, she saw a number of people she recognized from reading up on Unova. ”Wes,” she murmured, looking at him as they walked. ”…perhaps we should head over there once we get our drinks?” She nodded slightly in the direction of the group that had caught her eye.
