Casinos are a real popular thing in Mobius, from Casino Nights to Casino Park, there are entire zones warped around the feature. Their popularity of course is because of greed or the thrill of the excitement. Two reasons this green hedgehog was here, besides wanting to get away from his family at the moment. "Ah, can't hardly remember the last time I've stepped in one of these places." Manic hummed as he walked down the lobby. He has heard one of his brother's adventures took place here, but right now he doesn't want to think about that, he just wants to relax and play some good ol' gambling games. Though relaxing might be hard to do, as the casino's cameras was peering at the hedgehog.
On the other end, a large heavy man sat in his chair, watching the cameras. He stroke an object at his face, a beard perhaps. "Well well, look who do we have here? I've just set up shop and already we have a thief in our miss." Right behind him, the light shone on a creature in a full black uniform all over its body, only blue light came from the designs on its body and eyes. "My lord," The being said in a raspy voice, "Shall I deal with the intruder?" "Why not let him enjoy the games for the time before knowing what he is here for."

"Manicyyyyy!!!" a woman swooned like a happy mother finding her child, unexpectedly, in her outings. Yes, that would be Aleena, walking up to Manic like she was about to hug him.

Well, he wanted to get away from his family, though he was more of thinking of his siblings; Sonic cause they've been really butting heads with each other lately, and Sonia... well, he wasn't in the mood for some screaming from her. "So I take it you're here to see me, or do ghost like to make a few bets?"

" ...oh, we're just in the neighborhood." And, at that point, that mechanic hedgehog appeared next to Aleena; simply looking at Manic. " 'sup."

"Yeah, what he said. Just taking a break from emerald and mammoth hunting."

He eyed some of the costumers, looking quite worried the moment they saw Metal Sonic, and they tried their best to keep away. "Oh right, the hairy guy. How's the search coming along?"

A shake with the head, she made, as she shrugged. Seems she was oblivious of the people fearing away from Metal. "Bad. As I thought, he took off before the planet vanished. Though I had ran into an old 'pal' of mine..."

Metal simply scoffed. " ...an old echidna who happens to be the creator of the Chaos Emeralds." he shrugged. " Along with something new..."

"I would make a joke about asking how many old friends you've got, but 'fraid that's getting old."

"I doubt it'll get old any time soon." She did recall some more of her rogue gallery; something about a girl fox...but the memories are vague. Anywho, when she sensed Manic in the building, she remembered something important next week. "So...I hear next week," she began, leaning closer with her arms behind her back. "Is your birthday. And when it's your birthday, that means it's Sonia's birthday. And giving the events today, that means it's Sonic's birthday."

" ...so we're going to celebrate a triad of birthdays." Metal mused dryly. " I suppose we should break out the champagne and fireworks, then."

"My birthday?" Manic blinked, though as a child he has celebrated the day he and Ferral has met, "A real one?"

"Strange enough," she nodded. "Sonic was the only one out of you three who knew all of your real birthdays...even though he was celebrating his own. But it's actually all of yours; the day you all came to this world." Literally...

" ...I suppose I should be thankful that I don't really celebrate birthdays or the like." Metal mused with a slight roll of his eyes. " I mean, what would that kind of celebration entail? Gears and bolts for presents and the cake being a vat of oil?"

"Heh-heh, I guess." Manic chuckled, but still, he'd never thought he'd have a real birthday. It was just so, well, amazing. "ATTENTION!" The casino's speakers announced, "Welcome to Casinopolis, we hope you all shall enjoy your stay. To greet you all, please welcome the casino's new owner!"Two large doors swung open, and Manic's eyes wide open. "You have got to be f-" That was cut off from the clapping from the crowd, "kidding me!" There, at the doorway's balcony, was Mammoth Mogul himself, raising his arms in the air. "Greetings Station Square!"

Not much surprises her...but THIS does. But, after her 4000 years as a ghostly wanderer, seeing so much of history, and knowledge of movies, it seems Mogul has become one of those kingpin of crime guys that hide their true identities as some kind rich charity guy. "Metal...!" she hissed, hoping he take a disguise. She wanted to hear this.

" ...who?" As if he had read Aleena's mind, Metal had quickly changed his guise the moment Mogul made his appearance. "...some surprise, huh?" he whispered to Aleena; now using a different voice, to make the disguise more believable.

"Figures, you guys take a break and you end up finding him!" Manic whispered. @marauder@ Eyeing the balcony, Manic notice somebody standing by Mogul in what seemed to a full black uniform. He guessed the person was like a bodyguard, but the build was too slender and slim to be that saber-tooth tiger. "For those who don't know me, I am by the name of Mammoth Mogul. Before you ask, its a nickname from being a very hairy elephant." Some of the crowd laughed, and Manic rolled his eyes. "I am pleased to see how you have all welcome coming one of my new Casinos, however, one of my newly acquired properties might shock you." Pointing to the screen, it displayed an image of what seemed to be a cross between a mountain and a castle. There was some gasp when the crowd recognized it.

Looks like one of Eggman's old bases. she frowned, wondering what he was getting off with this place.

...ah, one of Eggman's old bases. Metal thought; basically confirming Aleena's suspicion. Now what is he scheming with this...?

"I present to you all Dr. Eggman's former Veg-O-Fortress, though long have been abandoned, along with the 'good' doctor who has recently has met his demise." A lot of cheering from the crowd, "The reason I have brought this fortress up is because we have clean it all of its death traps and have re-model it, now a brand new pinball game for all of us to enjoy." Points to the center of the room, where some casino employees pull of a curtain revealing one of the portal machines used to put players into a glass sphere and play a life-size pinball machine, though this one is more high-tech. "Due to the time consuming length it takes to Mt. Mobius, we have here a portal that grants all of you instant access from here. All proceeds of the fee shall go to the Chao Garden, a newly discovered batch has been discovered and some funding are needed for the little ones." Oh yeah, he's trying to fool the world. "So if anyone would care to enter?" Mogul asked, and the moment the ribbons were untied, lines was formed before the machine.

And Aleena was gone. But standing right behind Mogul. "I don't know what's up with this, but I'll tell you what..." Pointing up at him, dramatically, "Spider-Man will stop you!!!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!" she giggled so hard, she had to hold her stomach.

"...oh, for pete's sake..." And he rubbed his temples; not knowing what Aleena was talking about, and exasperated that she blew her cover like that. Sighing, he began stepping forward.

@marauder@ The bodyguard lifted a fist, but Mogul eased the person down. "Now why would a superhero want to stop some small creatures from trying to live?" Mogul turned around to the hedgehogs (including Metal), "Aleena, I didn't expected you and your boys to come so soon. I would have had things ready." "Like what, a death trap?" "More like the dining hall, though you must forgive me." Mogul said, rubbing the gem on his cane, "We're just settling in."

And suddenly, she was sitting on Mogul's head like a child. "Dude!! Where you get the molla to buy this place, anyhow?"
