**Las Vegas has never been a pretty place. Long, long ago, it was barren desert. After that, it was another kind of desert, metaphorically speaking. Even when it was destroyed it maintained that desolate taste. And now that it's been rebuilt, well, you get the picture.
The people of Las Vegas tend to realize this, and incorporate it into their daily lives. Sometimes, they do it in a way that's self-deprecating in order to give their sleazy city a bit more quaint charm. Usually, though, they just give into it and perform their tasks as they have to. And the fact that Area 51 is so near doesn't at all help; with people like those guys running around, no one would be really happy.
Of course, this makes Las Vegas all the more popular among people who don't live there. The lack of hope overall makes people want distractions, and they come to Las Vegas, where people have nothing to do but make distractions. As you might expect, the streets of Vegas are far too bright, and far too neon for any sort of good taste. And the people who walk on the streets and sit in the corners aren't of the most respectable type.
Still, there's nowhere on Earth that some of these people would prefer to the streets of Las Vegas. It's a cultural thing, I guess.**

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
Xavier, in his journeys, has realized that there are few places accomodating to one in his position. Still, though, he can always walk these streets.
He approaches Canthar. Sensing trouble, he conceals his taser.
"Looking for someone?"
Eladrayius stepped through a puddle, a rare sight in the city of Las Vegas. His black cloak, now dripping with water, slapped his back, it hurt but he shrugged it off. The internet, i need to find the internet.
"go that way" his PDA, his only friend now, has an AI. Eladrayius's strange powers gave him the ability to talk to and reprogram machines, and now his PDA is intellegent and almost human. "why do you need the internet, friend?"
"to find my friends." there was a pause for a moment and then Eladrayius said, "i know they are alive"
"and so you've told me time and time again"
"yes, i know" with that Eladrayius put up his hood, to hid his strange features, and him and his PDA started out to the buisy main street where they could find a cafe' or something where they could use the internet...
OOC sorry for the long backstory, but i couldnt stop
oh and i hope im posting this in the right spot...
An Airship flys over the street and begins to land, people scatter away from it.
As it lands there is a tremendous burst of hot air as the cooling system disengages.
The hatch opens and a man in a black trenchcoat and and boots steps out. He has long black hair and black, eiry eyes.
As he walks away from the ship the hatch seals as if there had never been one.
He heads for a pub.
EDIT: supposing there is a pub on the streets of neon lights?
Arcadia just smiles and does a little bow and heads to the pub.
Goes into the pub, reaches down and picks up a coin on the floor. Gets a drink and asks for Asuea.
A female looking much the same as Arcadia with the same black hair and eyes comes out. He greets her and they start a conversation in their strange language...
Lukin sat back up on the ground and shook his head. The sudden arrival of a man who seemed to think he was more important than everyone had used the aircraft to knock him off his feet. "It's ok as long as I'm not harmed, I guess..." he mumbled to himself. He watched the man walk into a pub, and caught a view of 2 men, watching him the same way.
Lukin walked up to one man, and said "Pardon me, sir. Can you tell me who that was just now?"
OOC is there a mod in here?
the man you walked up to was Eladrayius, his face was concieled in his hood so you couldn't see his features. "no, im sorry i can't though im pleased to meet someone that dosn't run at our sight." he lowers his hood, his face was more or less normal, though oddly pale, he looked more human then most of the exposed.
"the name's Eladrayius, though i dont use it much. its pleasnt to meet you. say, you wouldnt happen to know if i can find an internet connection around here would you?"
"Internet connection, eh?...Well, I think I saw a coffee house - or something like it - back down about a half a mile. Not quite sure if it has connection, though."
"it probally would if it had a tower, though from the looks of it, nothing around here does, sept for the moving signs, but i highly doubt a casino would let me connect." he started to walk away then turned back, "would you mind coming with me? that is if you dont mind?"
"Go with you, huh?...Sounds like a good idea, seeing as how there doesn't seem to be anyone really interesting around here. So what are you currently aiming for in life?"
"well i used to be normal, though you probaly already knew that, i was on a trip from east to west through the desert when we entered and exposed zone, our car flipped after hitting a mine that exploded incorrectly and i was stuck inside, some men came and took my friends but didnt find me, i want to find them. thats how i got here and what i want to do. now you go." as they were talking he paused as some men in uniform walked by then continued when they passed.
"Well, I was kinda raised with bad parents. They taught me nothing but vengance and hatred, so I ran away. I now seek the life of righteousness and-" He stopped immediately noticing the men in uniform walking by. "What did we do? Are we that suspicious?"
"its probally me" Eladrayius gave them a look that would frighten a demon and they wandered down the street, eladrayius felt out for bugs and found one, he convinced it to shut off and continued "most people of power dont like people that are different, and sence you havent asked already i might as well tell you, i can comunicate with computers. what you dont belive me? here ill show you. he pulled out his PDA and it started talking. hello it displayed on its screan im and Eladrayius's PDA how may i help you? I may not be perfect but I am the only machine known of to Elarayius that has AI.
"Hmmm....Now why could I never get my computer to talk back like that? That's pretty cool. Not much I can do except make a surge of elec-"
He stopped, and looked over his back shoulder, and noticed a trio walking towards them. "Oh, great. What did we - or you - do this time?"
"i did 'nothing'"he winked at him as he o put his hand in his jacket pocket, that concieled his laser sword. he started leading them to the street behind them it had more people on it. when they got closer he turned around to face them, though he didnt look at them "let them make the first move"
"Is it a fight they want?" Lukin whipped out his daggers from his pockets. A slight flicker of electricity flowed from the tip. "If it's combat these fools want, it's combat they get."

The woman calls a name out to the back and a man looking oddly similar to them comes out. They leave the pub.
