It had taken some time to get the funds he needed put together to find a nice piece of real estate in the heart of Seattle. But Akutenshi had managed to get a nice piece of land for him to put up his newest casino. He stood looking out a window overlooking the city scape that was one of the more booming cities in the area and smiled. "Ah, nothing like bringing in the masses" he talks to himself as he looks down at his watch "Tomorrow is our grand opening. I wonder what I could do to celebrate this occasion" he chuckles as he makes his way to the elevators which were polished brass with fine crystalline buttons displaying the floor numbers. He had spared little in the ways of expenses, knowing full well he'd likely double his investment before the end of the year. As he walked toward the doors that led out to the street he pauses a moment to talk to some of the people going over the final touches "Make sure you throw a party for yourself. You all have done such a wonderful job" he gives them a smile before walking out and heads for his car, deciding to take a drive and see what struck his fancy tonight.

It was an unusual day. The young man had actually made an appearance at the office in which he’d been gainfully employed for over a year now. Naturally, nothing good could come of it.
Bored out of his skull the very minute he’d glanced into the cubicle that he shared with two others, Ben had immediately set out to make the day just a tad more interesting for himself. As he had some time on his hands, ignoring the work that had piled up on his desk, the young man set about sowing the seeds of chaos among the office.
Targets for sabotage included refreshments, the copier, and the boss man’s desk. The copier he rigged to spray ink when one went to check it, feeling that was good for a little chuckle.
Later that day, Ben set about partially dismantling his boss’s desk and chair so that they would collapse when he went to sit down, dumping the man onto the floor. A discrete camera had been positioned and linked to the main tv overlooking the cubicle area so that all could witness the moment and share in his fun.
The office receptionist’s name was Marsha. She’d worked there for nearly twenty years and had two daughters she was trying to put through college on her own. Today was her birthday and Ben had, of course, volunteered to help set things up for the party. ‘Cause he was such a nice guy.
Ben prepared the drinks and brought out the cake when everyone sang happy birthday. Everyone standing around, he toasted Marsha and, ya know, how great she was. Then everyone in the office drank and made merry.
Naturally, Ben had spiked the drinks with various unfortunate substances.
His own drink having been nothing more than water, the young man then proceeded to sit back and watch hell unfold, adjusting a couple little environmental things around the office to help get things going.
Long story short, some people died, some were arrested, and ultimately Ben found himself absent gainful employment. It was totally worth it, he felt. Of course, he’d been long gone by the time the cops had shown up and, hours later, in the back of a taxi, the young man was still having fits of giggles.
Locke wasn’t going to miss his boring office job but now he was faced with a difficult question. How was he going to spend the rest of his night?

As he turned on the engine to his car and let the engine warm up a minute, he turns on the radio and listens to the local news. He was always curious to see what was going on in the area and how he might find a way to occupy his time. He plays with the ring on his finger as he listens quietly as the news was about a strange occurrence at one of the local corporate businesses near by and could help but chuckle "Ah, so much passion, though a shame for the loss of life. But ah, life is so fickle" After this he jams the car into gear and peels out, heading out for a night on the town. "I do wonder if there might be a show going on downtown, or maybe I could find a nice gentleman's club to socialize with the more cultured people" So much to do and so little time "Maybe I'll bump into the rowdy party if they come out on the town"

“Cut it out!”
Bencontinued to tap on the back of the driver’s seat to the beat of -I dunno. Some song? Doesn't matter- singing along with the lyrics in a decidedly off key voice. The driver of the taxi he was in repeated his demand, threatening to kick him out of the car if he didn’t quiet down.
“Lighten up, man,” The young man told him, grinning, before asking “How close are we to the strip club?”
“We shall arrive at the requested gentleman’s club in just a minute now please, quiet down!”
Locke rolled his eyes. It always amused him when people referred to a strip club as a gentleman’s club. Even the seediest of establishments, places that were essentially just rundown brothels, thinking it added an air of classiness and legitimacy. After all, what says class like a five dollar blowjob from a toothless crack whore in the ‘VIP’ room?
Fortunately, the particular club Locke was headed to was supposed to be just a tad more sophisticated. But certainly not boring, he hoped.
Once they’d finally arrived, Ben paid the man and got out. The taxi driver then proceeded to speed off, nearly running over his foot. Not cool. A rude gesture was proffered to the fleeting car before the young man headed towards the entrance of the club.

The high pitched whine of an engine could be heard coming hard and fast. A few seconds later a crimson Ferrari comes tearing around the corner, fishtailing some as it corrected. A few people jump out of the way as it came close to the curb but Tenshi could only laugh as he pulls up to the curb and cuts the engine before stepping out. He notices a couple of people approaching him from across the street, cussing at him and telling him how much of a reckless driver he was. The daemon, dressed as a well to do businessman in his black and red pinstripe suit, simply stood there and let the people blow off their steam before simply smiling at the pair and speaking "Do forgive me but as you can see, no one had been hurt in my fun. No need to be all hot under the collar about such things. Perhaps you and your friend here would care to join me for a show" he motions to the gentleman's club, as it were, but the two simply walk away "Ah well, more for me" he chuckles and he makes his way to the door, offering a greeting to the doorman as he approached

With a slight wince at the approaching high pitched whine, Ben looked around for the source, a bemused, somewhat blank smile on his face. Moments later he was greeted with the sight of a crimson Ferrari that would’ve hit him had the young man remained near the curb. Out stepped driver of the year and Ben, half expecting some intoxicating celebrity, was pleasantly surprised to find that he had no idea who the man was.
“If only everyone drove like that!” Ben exclaimed, clapping a nearby woman on the back. The poor creature, already terrified, gave him a shocked expression and took off. Not quite running but she was a hustlin'.
Not bothering to muffle his laughter, Locke entered the club a few moments ahead of the suited man, wearing a tuxedo tshirt himself. To get things started, he headed towards the bar.
“Barkeep,” he began, greeting the bartender. “Gimme a shot of something strong. No, I don’t want to know what it is.” As Ben’s drink was being poured he looked about for his first victim. Well, not counting the office full of people he’d doped earlier.

The place was busy tonight. It was nice to see the people out enjoying themselves. As he walked by a couple of people watching the nights entertainment, he toyed with them by amplifying their already aroused emotions, the pair rushing the stage, and then starting a small brawl as they fought over who would get the lady. Tenshi watches a little while with a smirk before continuing on to the bar "Good evening Fred, so nice to see you again. My usual if you'd be so kind" he waits quietly while the drinks were handed out, he eventually receiving a glass of high grade bourbon, to which he lifts and swirls a second before taking a sip "mmm... I don't think I could find much better than this my friend" he gives a light gesture to the tender before turning his attention to the new female to walk on stage as the song 'you give love a bad name' started playing to start her piece "my my... doesn't she look lovely" he said to any within earshot.

Ben clapped his hands, smiling. The entertainment was better than he’d been expecting. Well, the strippers were pretty much what the young man had expected but it was occasional brawl that really amused him. The bouncers seemed to be having their hands full.
Turning his attention back to the stage, Locke licked his lips at the delectable piece of meat currently performing. The suit nearby, the same man who’d nearly turned a few people into roadkill outside, commented on the attractiveness of the woman performing.
“Totally fuckable,” Ben said in agreement, downing the mystery liquor that had been handed to him. He asked the bartender who was apparently named Fred for more. Talking to the suited stranger, “Wanna go halfsies on a lap dance?” the young man asked jokingly.
Locke ran one finger along the length of his jaw as he looked out across the room at a woman whose precarious position seemed to just be asking for an accident. An accident he made happen with a little mesmerization, causing the stripper to fall into a dazed state and, once dazed, simply fall.

The night was rather electric as his first instigation washed over to a few others. It made the daemon smile. "Ah yes, though it's not quite the way I would describe an evening with her" he chuckles before taking a sip from his drink. "She would be a good way to enjoy a night of celebration though..."
At the sound of commotion his gaze shifts toward where it seemed a woman had fainted and fell into the crowd "oh my. That was unfortunate". He turns to look at his bar buddy studying his movements and gaze. "So what what brings you to this wonderful establishment? A night of senseless passion? Or perhaps you're out celebrating something. Perhaps a little of both?". He chuckles as he motions toward the stage so much young and vigorous life just waiting for the opportunity to know what it means to have a real lover" he gives a very predatory smile before it smoothed out to one of mild amusement as his gaze moves back to the next dancer to take the stage.

“Some would certainly think so. I’m sure she’ll be alright if no one tramples her.” Ben replied to the suit’s comment on the unfortunate ‘accident’ that had befallen the poor fallen woman.
To the suit’s question asking why Ben was there tonight, he replied “There was a crazy party at the office earlier today,” the young man grinned wolfishly, resisting the urge to chuckle at the earlier mischief he’d accomplished. “I figured it would be a shame to allow such a wonderful day to fade into a boring night. So senseless passion it is, I s’pose.”
Ben finished another drink and turned his eyes toward the stage. He didn’t have anything against large fake breasts, exactly, but the young man wasn’t feeling much attraction towards the woman. Instead he hungered for more mischief.
“I thought this was supposed to be a classy joint. What’s with all the brawls? I hope they are not a regular occurrence for this establishment.”

"Ah yes, I do agree. Terrible idea to let a moment fade with such promise of excitement and wonder" Tenshi speaks to his current companion. He gets up and moves a little closer "As to this place being classy, it is. But as you can see, lust can spring up like a font of desirable necessity" he then finishes his drink and sets the glass down on the counter "Fill her up my friend" he calls to the tender and puts a 20 down to pay for the drinks and then turns his attention back to the stage "It is interesting, how people's need for attention brings them to such places as these." he leans back against the counter and looks back to Ben "And also, classy is relative. Sure the atmosphere is done up a little different but all the people are still the same, a deep, dark, need that needs to be satisfied"
As to make his point, he looks over to one of the men off to the side of the bar in a booth. He'd noticed this man watching and feigning boredom "Take that man over there for instance..." he slowly teases the man's senses until he finally started crawling over to the closest lady and appears to beg at the woman's feet. "Desire... is very strong. Even for those who think they are above such things"

For a split second, Ben tensed up when the suit moved closer to him before he relaxed again a mere moment later. Thinking about what the suit had said, the young man finished his next drink much more slowly. It made sense.
Ben’s attention drawn, his eyes followed the direction the suit’s finger was pointing. A man seemed to switch from apparent boredom to plainly obvious desperation, begging at the feet of one woman. Such behavior was simply reprehensible. Begging in public? Gross.
Turning back to the suit, his expression shifted to a smile more pleasant. Ben extended his hand by way of more formally greeting the man.
“I couldn’t agree more, friend. I’m Ben, by the way.”
Starting in on another drink, the young man asked “What are humans but animals with an inflated ego? Rather than fighting their ‘baser’ urges everybody should indulge a bit more, have a little fun once in a while.”

Tenshi too Ben's hand as it was extended with his own knowing grin "They call me Tenshi. I'm a bit of a well to do in this world. I own several casinos across this land and also a couple in Europe. Though I've noticed that the people here, in the U.S., are far more likely to spend their hard earned money on such frivolity." he picks up his refilled glass and takes a sip from it before continuing "The way you talk about humanity, I gather you aren't a part of it? Or are you just choosing to put yourself in the mix of the human's lot" he still kept himself a mystery about just what he was but he was curious to see if Ben might pick up on the fact he was a little more than what he appeared to be. "Urges are indeed primal, and these people understand that primal need. Though they still continue to hide it, choosing to keep their needs known only to themselves" and takes another drink
Post by Benjamin Locke on Sept 13, 2015 23:09:15 GMT -5
Ben raised an eyebrow when Tenshi told him about the casinos he owned. While the young man would never really need money, he was impressed with how loaded the guy sitting next to him had to be. Though he found the way Tenshi referred to himself as a well to do a bit weird and maybe a little old fashioned.
"Well, I didn't include myself because I'm quite fond of indulging my urges. It leads to quite a bit of fun, though life can be a bit chaotic at times when I decide to play ice cream man in sweltering east Texas for a day."
Pacing himself somewhat now, Ben drank from his glass before continuing.
“Ya see, there’re folks like me and then there’re folks like them,” Locke gestured towards the crowd. “People who can only have fun on dark nights with a little help from liquor and other substances.”
Though Ben was well aware that he was not human, he often considered himself one of them. Spending most of his time in human form made it easy for him to forget what he was at times. As such, he felt somewhat embarrassed by what he considered to be their failures at times.

Tenshi listens quietly, ignoring the rest of the world for a moment as Ben explained himself. There was a hidden story within it but he couldn't place his finger on just what it was. "You and I, my friend, are of a rare breed. What good is living if you do not live it. Am I right my friend?" he gives him a light punch to Ben's shoulder with a laugh "No indeed these people need to understand that there are urges that you should not ignore. But it's more than just the matter of sex..." he pauses to take a sip "... though it is one of the most potent ones. There is art, music, culture. All of these should be displayed with a flare. With gusto. None of this tiptoeing to avoid the fact that someone might be offended" his gaze moves back to the gathered people who help the woman to a chair and get her a glass of water.
