Like stealing money from a rich man (Aioka/Gabe)

People could see a bunch of lights flashing around the word casino, once you pass by it a few times. The casino was an interesting place to spend your mean.... Er...time! Yes. Time, and hang around with friends. Usually to dine out, or play a couple of games if you're really feeling lucky today. Aioka felt like he was on a mission or less. He was on the mission to sharpen his gambling skills, and what other place to know the fundamentals of gambling. Whether it be the unsafe way, or a professional way. It's all in the air, because nobody plays fair. Right? Aioka happened to be biking down vista square. He didn't have anything to do, and had to think about what skills he should sharpen. Aioka wanted to raise his Luckiness in order to be known as the luckiest in all of endymion. While he was riding on his bike, there would be a minor malfunction with one of the breaks, as aioka would find himself in a deep of a mess. As he tried to break, aioka came flying through the air. He wasn't flalling his arms, like someone would do, when they're in for an impact.

He was more focused on whether or not everyone will look under his skirt, as he comes crashing into a trash can near the entrance of the casino. Aioka knee bent, and his arms fully stretching his skirt down, so he wasn't fully exposed. "This is the most unluckiest day of my life" Aioka whined, as he was mostly covered in trash. "Cqn somebody help!" He cried as if he was a princess in distress.

Why was Gabe at Vista Square?

The guess was as good as anyone else. but the atmosphere that came as a casualty of being in that place was giving Gabe a small headache this time around. Maybe it was because of his tendency to wear glasses and neglect to wear it half the time? Either way, some shopping had to be done for Gabe's new laptop, or better yet, he was trying to invest in a new laptop so he could take the time to work at home as well.

"Ahh... seems like an average da-"

Gabe realized he spoke too soon as he saw a person flying across a few feet and into a garbage can, something that he felt like he would have seen if a professional basketball player became a giant and started to chuck people instead of balls.


"Well, she flew far...."

Either way, that looked like a woman who had a nasty spill, and Gabe's slow movements towards the garbage can be quickened when he heard the call for help.

"I got you..."

Gabe realized from the way that this person was holding their skirt down, they were trying to maintain their dignity. He wanted to respect that, so he gave a bit of instruction.


"Keep it held down ok? I'm going to grab you by the waist and slowly lift you upright. Ok? Don't be surprised...."

He grabbed her and then lifted her as swiftly as possible.

While in a mess, he tried to get out of the trash can without revealing himself. It turned out to be a difficult task than he could imagine. Luckily someone was kind enough to help him out of a trashy experience that he got himself into. While the man had lifted aioka out of the trash can, from his waist. It was a good idea to call for help, rather than having to do it by himself. While he had gotten out, a lot of trash was spilt, and he was all messy. "Ahhhh! Aioka let out a scream. It appeared that he was angry that he got himself all dirty, and have to get his hair fixed, and possibly new clothes.

"This is shitty, I'm the most unluckiest person in this crap" he cursed furiously, as he brushed the trash off of him, and shook his head until everything was out of his long pink hair. He felt embarrassed, and covered his face with both of his hands, as he knelt down like a hopeless little girl who lost everything. "Im sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry, this is stupid. Why did I get myself caught in this mess, and for you to help me. This is embarrassing." what was said was probably too fast for the four eyes to try to comprehend, but if he had good ears. He'd be able to interpret what aioka was saying, while feeling embarrassed.

"I guess I didn't do a good job while taking you out...."

Gabe did notice that the trash spilling was on him in a way. If he would have done it a little more properly, maybe this girl wouldn't have ended up as bad. Still, with him taking personal responsibility to help her, there could be something that he could do for her, right?

"The garbage messed up your clothes, but I am willing to take you to a nearby store and pay for a replacement. I mean, a reasonably priced replacement for the clothing you are wearing right now. Or the dry cleaning at the very least. There is nothing I can do about the bike per se if it did receive any damage, but I do apologize for not lifting you up correctly. "

Well, he did lift her up correctly, but he wanted to avoid the headache of being accused.

"What's your name?"

The man in glasses sounded like a nice guy, who was generous enough to lend a hand to the helpless aioka. Aioka stood on his too feet, and bowed to him, as if he was thankful that he would offer such a thing. Despite him not really having to do it, since he has the money, but he'll let him play the nice guy role. He didnt care about the bike. He was more worried about his clothes, and the smell. He wanted to get that handled with, more than anything. "The names aioka fujitaka,
you may have heard about me. Although I doubt it. I'm just a second year transfer student." He introduced himself with a bright smile.

"id greatly appreciate it if you could help me with the clothes problem. I just don't want to smell like trash. I have to wash the smell off too. By the way, what's your bame. You look familiar." Aioka asks, as he leaned forward, and examined the four eyes a little bit. Could he be from the same school? He looks to old, but he could be a third year or something. Aioka was extremely curious.

"Aioka? A transfer student at the seven stars academy I'm assuming. No, I don't think I would have heard about you, but I would be interested in getting to know how things are in the outside world and if there is anything just as prominent out there as it is here. When you say transfer student, it's always the hope that it's from somewhere that's not Endymion. "

If there was more to life than just Endymion, Gabe wanted to hold on to that hope.

"I was a third year just until the end of last year. I'm finished with the academy, my name is Gabriel Gatsby. If you have seen me somewhere, would it be at the lucky clover casino? I'm the owner of that particular branch. "

Looking away, Gabe wondered if there were any stores nearby.

"Where do you usually shop? You can pick the place..."

He was a bit disappointed knowing that he's never heard of him before, which he looked away. Showing a sign that he was disappointed. Aioka didn't seem that important of a person so it was a go figure on his part, however he had fixed his face, and turned to face the man before him, who looked like he was taller than aioka. About four inches taller at the very least. It had turned out that Gabriel was just someone with a face to him, and wasn't anyone he knew in particular. But he was glad to meet him, nevertheless. "I kind of figured that you didn't know me. I'm not much of a well known person here, than back home. However what I didn't know is that you owned a casino." Aioka says with a surprise look on his face. This also gave him an idea. He wanted to sharpen his gambling skills.

That was the first thing he had came here for, but he can't do that until he get this smell off of him. "Well, I can show you where I frequently buy my clothes....so" Aioka smirked, and took Gabriel hand, and pointed straight towards the bustling streets. Where the city never sleeps. Gabriel would notice a pretty firm grip of his hand. Not like the kind you'd receive from a typical chick. "Let us journey onward to our latest adventure " He announced as he took Gabriel to a shopping mall.

"Am I supposed to know who you are? Not to be rude in any kind of way, but if there is something quite important about your name and current status that you haven't mentioned, I'd appreciate you telling me in order to avoid any more of a showing of my own ignorance. It's not like i'm doing this on purpose, so I hope this isn't getting you upset. "

It went way over Gabe's head, more or less.

"The lucky Clover Casino is indeed a household name. Perhaps you can pay me a visit there sometime? There is more to it than just gambling..."

Gabe tried to make it an enjoyable experience to those who attended. Speaking of enjoyable, Gabe found it rather pleasing to see that this woman had a firm grip. Was she practicing her handshakes for business moguls or something of the sort? Either way, it made Gabe think about working on his own grip strength.

"Feel free to lead the way Aioka, maybe I can ask you some questions as well? Oh and, don't forget the bike."

He hoped she brought thEndymionlong.

"So why endymion? What attracted you here?"

It didn't matter if the four eyed was supposed to know who aioka was, so he just dismissed the question. He didn't really care, and wanted to rewind time to make sure that he hasn't said that. But that wasn't possible, so aioka would just play dumbfoundead instead, and pass it off as a general mistake. "Dont bother yourself with trivial things, only said it because you looked familiar. Nothing more." aioka says with a straightforward answer that came off aggressive.

"Dont mind the bike, it's not like anyone would want it anyway" Aioka was sure enough that nobody wanted the bike, as he would leave it behind, and walked towards the heart of vista square. The two would look around, and witness all types of stuff happening. However the people were in the way, so navigating would be somewhat problematic. Gabriel had sparked up a question, in which he wasn't sure if he could answer truthfully.
"I came, because of the divide.
You know? Demons n' junk. They attacked my home, and forced me to go someplace else. Not like Endymion is free from demons anyway. I've heard a lot of fishy shit going on, around this city that not even the authorities would believe." Aioka explained as the two entered inside of the shopping mall.

"Alright, but I can admit that biking around sunlake palms on a hot summer day sometimes beats the driving if you want to take the scenic route and get a decent amount of exercise at the same time. Maybe if we come back after shopping, the bike would still be there?"

Someone would want the thing, there is always a kid that is less fortunate than others that would appreciate a form of transportation. With a bike, there are also a few jobs that ou. Gabe's done all of the odd jobs he needed back in the day, which is why he was so inclined on putting more worth on something Aoika neglected. Nevertheless, it just showed how different they were.

"The divide happened about five years ago, so was the demon attack. So when you said you were a transfer student, I was assuming recently. "

But maybe things just got a bit mixed up.

"What did you hear about?"

Aioka didn't really mind at all about the weather, as he thrived to the sort of season. If he was at home right now, he would be at home -- in his room, and naked for all he care. Aioka was practically born in this hot of a weather, so it didn't phase him much. It would give Gabe an idea of what kind of person aioka would be, if he was some sort of persona user, if he liked the heat so much. Depending on if the two knows what it is. Aioka had liked scenery, as he always thought that it was romantic to walk around with someone, and enjoying the outline of the city, and streets.

He also didn't care about what would happen about the bike, because in truth he had stole it from someone, because it was carelessly out, and wasn't well guarded. Aioka had done the smart thing, and took it without being detected, as if he was a ninja or a thief in the night. Even though he would be classified as a thief anyway, so he didn't care. It would be considered bad karma, because he had stolen someone's bike, and someone else would come, and do the same thing that aioka had done. Aioka had noticed that gabe was being a bit too worried about the bike.

“I'm not worried about what might happen about the bike, and besides -- I had stolen it off of someone, and if they so happen to steal it, then oh well.” Aioka says, casually accepting the bikes fate. “You also seem to be someone to easily worry about things” Aioka pointed out, with a classic smug look on his face.

“ -- and to answer your question… I'm not too sure about them. They were just mere rumors that I stumbled across people, and they claim that people were randomly gettin’ killed, and it all sounded like something off of some horror show.” Aioka says as he changed his dialect on accident, making him sound a bit boyish.

"Hmm what? Stolen? Wait..... stolen? Why?"

Gabe was taken back by the statement that Aioka made just a minute ago. Much to his suprise, she was quite the naughty woman. But he didn't judge her, that did no good. Knowing the why would give him a lot more insight than the act itself.

"Stealing from a thief? Like Robin hood per say? Ahh, should have said that sooner, nothing like a good ol instant karma to have people rethink their life choices. I  guess it means you are quite perceptive to have noticed that it was stolen in the first place.  "

They became a little more interesting to Gabe, so he decided to feed Aioka a little.

"Rumor is that they like to come out at night. The dem,ons that is, its where all of the excitement happens. However i'm mostly too busy with the casino to pay it any mind. But with all of the terrorism and other incidents, there is never a dull moment no?"

The dialect Aioka came out with was altered a bit, but Gabe paid it no mind.
