Las Vegas, Modern day

A city loaded with people, a city that never sleeps, (I'm hoping this will be a ongoing open thread) with the millions of people that fluctuate through vegas its no suprise all kinds of things happen at any time...

I will be playing Jason Thompson a recently graduated, business man with a medium level job at the Monte Carlo hotel and casino.

I am 6'3 about 230-240 lbs, strongly built, with brown eyes and black hair. I generally have to wear suits to work everyday, with the least dressed being a shirt and tie.

I own a normal sized 3 bedroom house, in the southwest, with a pool and a hot tub, i also have my own car, and live alone.

Anyone else interested in joining?
 
No one is interested in joining? Its pretty much open to anyone, this roleplay is not centered around me.
 
Tansy Brown got off the bus and sighed. Thank goodness that was over. She stretched. It had been a long trip from Indiana and the bus had been crowded. She had been on buses or in bus stops for 54 hours and she needed a shower and a bed. She had managed to get some sleep but mostly in bits and pieces and not enough at any one time.

Picking up her carryon bag and rolling out her larger case, Tansy found the taxi stand and headed for the first one in line. He helped her with her bag, and she gave him her notel name, a little place near but not one the strip, one of those pay by the month places with a small kitchenette. She just prayed it was reasonably roachless.

Her head back on the seat, eyes closed, Tansy tried not to fall asleep in the car. The air conditioning was on high and she shivered slightly, her brown blouse stuck to her body by the heat in the short distance from bus to station and station to cab. She knew she would get used to the heat quickly, after all it wasn't like the humid heat of back home. The temperature might be in the 100s but it didn't feel all that bad.

At the motel she paid and tipped the driver and then checked in, pleased that she had an upstairs corner room away from the elevator. With a little luck the room would be a little bigger than some of the others and with windows on two walls, she might get a bit of a breeze in the evenings. She plopped her luggage in the corner, pulled out a long tshirt with cat paws printed on it and a pair of pink cotton panties. Watching the floor for signs of bugs or other critters, she checked out the bathroom carefully, before undressing and getting in the shower.

"So far, so good," she thought as she washed her hair. Tomorrow she would report to the Monte Carlo Casino where she had been offered a job as a blackjack dealer. But for now, she climbed in between the surprisingly clean sheets, and was out in seconds.
 
It was 530 am when Jason got up, he got home at midnight the night before. He looked out the window of his home, and had a pretty good view of the strip and it was a cool thing and a curse to be able to see his work place from home.

Jason climbed out of bed, and headed for the coffee maker then to the shower, all the while still marveling at the house that he had only purchased a month ago. Here he was 28 years old and making over 100,000 a year, who could complain?

Plus today was one of his favorites, he would be introducing a few things to a new group of cocktail waitresses, bartenders, and dealers. He always tried to pick one to fantasize about and had already bedded a few. His private office in the casino was great for that.

After showering and putting on a suit he headed to his garage and jumped in his crossfire, pointing towards his home away from home. "Just another day" he though as he sped down the 215 towards Las Vegas Blvd.

When he arrived he immediately headed up into his office to prepare for the days events...

As he stood in his office he watched as the people trickled into the casino, and he would pick out which ones were here for a job, they werent dressed like tourists, and they all had a decidely nervous look..... He watched them all, go and check in with the HR people and waited to introduce himself...
 
(OOC) Anyone else want to join, there are a ton of roles that you can take at the casino?
 
Tansy

Stretching all five feet and seven inches, Tansy opened her eyes and looked around the strange room. A glance at the clock told her she needed to get up. As her mind cleared she remembered where she was and where she had to be. She stretched again, turned on the light, with the opaque curtains pulled, it could have been seven am or seven pm. Only the dot on the clock let her know that it was morning.

She checked the floor for bugs, then stood up. Opening the curtains she saw that it was going to be another hot day. Already the sky was a cloudless blue, the morning sun beating down on the town. She gathered up her clothing, took a quick shower and then dried her shoulder length black hair. A light coating of make-up, which she figured probably wouldn't last in the heat, and then a wink of a emerald green eye to wish herself good luck.

She adjusted the cups of her pink lace bra over her double d breasts, wishing once again that she wasn't so large, and wondering why people would pay for them. All her life she had had problems from guys of all ages because of her breasts, and she wondered what it would be like to be a nice b cup. Shaking her hair at the ridiculous "what if" thought, she was who she was, she slid into her black support hose that barely covered her long legs, a black skirt and white blouse, standard dress at any of the casinos she had worked at on the Ohio and Mississippi River boats, and seen in the pictures of Las Vegas and Reno. Her black shoes had a slight heel, but were thickly padded inside, with a firm arch support. She had spent enough time on her feet to know that support hose and support shoes were the only way to survive. Adding a pair of silver hoop earrings and a silver choker with a chip of tourmaline, and she was ready to go.

She called for a cab, picked up her shoulder bag, and put on the polarized sunglasses she knew would protect her eyes in the bright sunlight.

A few minutes later and a few dollars shorter, she would need to get a car soon, she stepped into the lobby of the Monte Carlo Casino. Stepping to the side out of the doorway, she took off her glasses and waited for her eyes to adjust. Looking around curiously, she noticed the layout, with the one-armed bandits and video games in the central area and the tables laid out around the machines. Anyone heading for the cheaper games would have to pass the green baize tables. She nodded, it was a good set up. In various places along the walls were small areas set aside for higher stakes games, a bar took up half of one wall, the cashier the rest of the same wall. That made Tansy smile. Whether you were getting your chips or cashing in, the bar encouraged you to stop by. "Someone has done a great layout with this place," she thought.

Reading the various signs hanging around the gigantic room, she spotted an elevator. Heading over to it, she heard a loud clanging and turned, smiling as she watched a middle aged woman jumping up and down as dozens of dollar coins fell from her machine. Tansy truly loved watching the customers win, after all the odds were against them. But she hated seeing desperation on the faces of those that were addicted to the possibility of beating the odds. She wished there was a way to screen out the people that had to play from those that came to play for fun. But there wasn't, so she took her pleasure from watching the winners.

A movement caught the corner of her eye and she looked towards the cashier window area, a group of people was coming across the floor headed for her. She caught a refection of lights above the bank of windows and realized it a large plate glass window. The black glass mirrored the machines but it also reflected the area near the elevators. The glass showed a tiny representation of her, standing alone, and the backs of the group of people coming her way. Tansy knew from experience that the window separated the casino offices and the game floor. She wondered if there was someone standing there watching.

Shrugging, she turned her back, and as the elevator door opened she entered. HR was on the second floor in the south corner. Mentally laying out the building she decided HR was opposite the glassed in office above the cashier area. Apparently the group heading toward her were also there to see HR. Moving towards the back of the elevator, she listened to the nervous chatter of the others.
 
(OOC This next little bit has several roles that can be taken over whenever)

Jason's desk phone intercom system buzzed, and it took him a moment to answer it as he was watching the trainees...

"Whats up, Crystal?" Jason said
Crystals normally happy voice, sounded especially happy today, he wondered if she had gotten laid.
"Hey your two new trainers are up here, you wanted to speak to them right?" Crystal asked.
"Yeah, go ahead send them in." Jason responded

A few moments later Jasons door opened slowly so as not to intrude, "Come on in, have a seat" Jason said, as he took his seat behind his desk.

The man and woman both moved towards their respective chairs. "First of all, I would like to congratulate both of you on your recent promotions, and I have full faith that neither of you will let me down." They both looked on, and whispered thank you. Jason continued " Now you both know that we have a group of about 25 people starting today, and you know what we expect here, so I want you to really find the people that deserve to be here, and the others that belong in that dump down the street, get rid of them."

Both trainers simply nodded, and introduced themselves as Wendy, and Chris respectively. "By the way, I'll be joining you guys for a few minutes today, I want to check this new group out, and introduce myself." Jason continued "My new position is amongst other things a HR director, and I am not a hands off kind of guy. So I will give you guys to just after lunch and will be in around 1:30 to talk to these people." Jason stood and offered a formal handshake to both and dismissed them.

He watched them saunter down the hall speaking to each other, quite a bit now, as if they had to bottle it up when they were around him.

Jason told Crystal on the way out the door, that he was going to head out onto the floor, and if she needed anything to call his cell...
 
(OOC, I will take over the role of chris, a very domineering person, who was just recently promoted and loves women, so far he has slept with several women from the casino, including his partner wendy. But he has kept it secret so as to keep from building a reputation.)

As I headed down the hall way I couldnt help what kind of girls would be in this new class, he glanced over at Wendy, and knew what she was like in bed, but he desperately longed for a new girl. However he knew that his new boss was particularly interested in this class, so he may not want to jump the gun.

Chris stood about 5'10 with blonde hair and blue eyes, he prided himself on his exceptional physical condition, and he spent most of his weekends playing basketball, swimming, or rock climbing in the red rock canyon...
 
Tansy

Tansy listened to the chatter of the other hirees. Some were experienced, some weren't and it was easy to pick them out of the group. The non-experienced men were in suits and ties, while the non-experienced women ranged between jeans and tshirts and outfits that looked like they should be strolling the street corners. She wondered if they thought they had been hired to dance on the show floor rather than stand for hours on the game floor. The rest were in slacks or skirts, pale colored or white shirts, with sturdy shoes. She wondered what the others thought of the newbees and what the newbees thought of the pros. She kept her mouth closed but her eyes twinkled. Some of these people were in for a shock.

Her letter of employment had indicated that while they were sure to hire her based on her experience, that she had to be vetted, her word not theirs, by the casino Trainers. This was not usually a problem unless they were male egotists. Then the fools thought that they could use their position to demand "casting couch" privileges. Tansy wanted a change of location but she wasn't desperate. She had saved up for the move, and if the Trainers were this type, then she would move on. She really hoped none of the others were desperate, those kind of tactics were supposed to be illegal, but they still happened now and then.

Grateful that her parents had given her brains to go with her beauty, Tansy waited until the others were out of the elevator before leaving. She was in no rush to go through the interview process. Which, based on the number of people, could stretch out for most of the day.
 
The day drug on and on, as I talked to countless people, about what they think they have to offer, and to top it off, not one of them had enough looks to get by with. Then a cute little brunette walked in, and not only did she look proffesional but she had a decent head on her shoulders. All the while she talked to me, I barely listened to what she said, but I did think about what I would like to do to her. Then I remembered the boss, I figured it was almost time for him to get here, and we had worked through lunch, so I figured if he didnt show any interest then I could make my move.
 
Tansy

She had been right, it was a long day. She sat in the back of the room occasionally watching the proceedings, but mostly reading. It had been a cattle call, inviting a couple of dozen people all at the same time. Each of them had signed in and been given a number. She was given one of the last numbers. She didn't know if there was any reasoning behind the number distribution or if it had been random. She felt like she was doing jury duty, the process seemed to be the same. Each person was called up one by one and interviewed by a male and female trainer. The female seemed to be friendly and open, but Tansy didn't like the predatory look in the man's eyes as he looked over each female. She was glad it was an open room. She knew that if there had been a private room, this man would have been expecting things from the females. She sighed. She hoped trainer was his only job, as she wouldn't need much training and wouldn't have to spend a lot of time with him. Some places gave their upper level employees multiple tasks. If this guy was also a pit boss, then her job was going to be more difficult. But then she brightened as she remembered she didn't have to take the job. Smiling at that thought, she went back to her book.

When her number was called, she walked up to the front table. Sitting down across from the two, she answered calmly all their questions which ranged from rule to certain games to how would she handle different types of customers. Feeling she had answered the questions fairly well, she shook hands with both people, then return to her seat. Apparently this Chris and Wendy had to have their decisions approved by their boss.


Brushing her black hair out of her way, she went back to reading.
 
It was about 130 and Jason headed down to the second floor HR rooms, and walked into a room full of people all looking just as nervous as they were when he saw them that morning.

Jason looked across the crowded room, and saw mostly nerves but there were a few that seemed very confident, some almost too confident. Jason was going to test them to see if any of them had respect or if he was dealing with a bunch of people who dont care about anything.

"Good afternoon, everyone, my name is Jason Thompson and I'm executive director of Human Resources, and lead Casino Manager. As you have all been informed that at this time you are hired but are on a strict probation, I would love to see all of you on the other side of this, but I have never had that happen once, so my advice is this, just stay confident, but not too confident, and stay focused. Remember once you get through the training we have the utmost confidence that you will succeed here." Jason finished with " I now leave you in the hands of two of my favorite trainers Wendy and Chris, they will be working with many of you, but only as much as needed, we encourage you to preform on your own, and hope that you will, drive yourself to succeed."

Jason stepped away from the front of the room, and asked if everyone in the room had lunch, and all nodded no, so Jason told them all to head to the coffee shop and lunch was on the house. He then asked Chris and Wendy to step into the hall with him...
 
Jason wanted to speak with us out in the hall and I have to say even though he was a nice guy, he made me incredibly nervous, he could have crushed my career right there.

Fortunately all he wanted was to speak briefly about what our impressons were, I of course slipped up and told him about the brunette, several times, and he said that he might like to meet her, and I should have her meet him at the steak house at about 2:00. I immediately took off to find her, pissed that he was showing interest in her, I was hoping to have lunch with her.

Wendy gave Jason a quick run down on everything and then headed to lunch herself....
 
Tansy

When the Executive Director/Casino Manager came in, Tansy looked up. He was an imposing man, at least 6'2 or 6'3, she wondered if he had started his career in security. He gave them a speech about being confident and then told them lunch was on the house. "That was pretty decent of the place. Might be a sign of how they treat their employees," she mused.

Picking up her bag she headed for the elevators. Everyone was leaving at the same time, so the area was deep in people. She decided that since they were only on the second floor she would take the stairs. Looking around, she spotted it on the other side of the elevators. "Figures," she muttered. Deciding to wait until the first group of people had gotten out of the way, she leaned against the wall.
