Christine will spend a large amount of time in the accounting office of the casino.  Becoming familiar with the bookkeeping, methods of keeping people from skimming (if any) and generally getting a very good idea of just exactly how much is coming in, how much is going out, and where too.

What she does with this information, well...she is giving quite a bit of it to the 'secret' backer of the club.  Making sure 'he' knows his investment is secure.

Of course, all work and no play, not good for anyone.  Besides, its nice being in a city where almost everyone speaks english again.

Thomas would wander in to interrupt Christine late one evening. He would sit on the edge of her desk and blatantly interrupt whatever she is working on.

'I need you to take care of something for me Christine..'  

*eyes Thomas, as he sits on her desk...one day, he will probably ask her to explain the amused smile at his name...or some of his mannerisms.  If she does, well...lets not go there, ok?

In the meantime.  She folds her hands, looking up at him* 'what would that be, sir?'

'The Crew of that foolish show -Haunted New England- have booked an entire wing of my hotel for their cast and crew.'

This is nothing new to her, she probably arranged the booking.

'They also want to host some big private party, which id like you to host for me; for a considerable bonus, of course.'

Hell, it would get her off the books, and Thomas wouldnt have to deal with people who are potentially looking for him...

*well, yes, as a matter of fact, she does know all about it, right down to the way the supposed experts do their 'investigating'  Like any good employee, she's done her research.  

That amused smile grows a bit wider.  'I believe I can take care of that for you, sir' *thinks for a bit* 'I can go with the 'wild west' theme, and expand on that a bit, perhaps even a character or two from that period to make it more intersting'

Makes a couple of notes on her notepad.  

'Sounds great.'

She could have said shes going to clambake the wing and let penguins loose for all i care. I slip off her desk and drop the catch...

'Oh, we only have a day or two for preparations, that wont be a problem right?..'

In the past few years, she's been understanding why the 'working' ghouls of the toreador always have a look to them as if the world had dropped on their shoulders, and they were looking for a way out.  The 'I'd like to give a party for the top thousand partyers of the jet set, tomorrow night' kind of thing.  Ok, so...a welcoming party, put together in two days?  Nothing to it.  

'I believe I can arrange that to your satisfaction'  Another note, a hidden, slightly wicked grin.  Perfect timing, after all....since a certain someone does want to be able to....shall we say...look over his investment.  Without bringing down any suspicion.

'Perfect! ill check in on you tommoro night then..'

There is no end to the tasks that will be dumped on Christine... especially since shes technically not even his ghoul...

Thomas takes off after this, leaving her to her perparation, he has other concerns to deal with tonight...

*some calls first, making sure she can get the items needed for the party in, preferably today, if not sooner.  Some take more than one call....thank goodness for the internet.  Other than that, a few meetings with other people, so things can be set up.  No big deal, after all, a bit of money, knowing the right people...easy, if you've done it a few dozen times over the past few years.

Another call...telling the person on the other end she has a 'special' for them, asking for the Earp gang.  No, not the Clintons, this is a party, not a show...just Wyatt, maybe a few others.  She'll call back in an hour with the full list.  Then another call...this one on her own cell phone.

'hello, love' *grins at something* 'why yes, of course I know what time it is...hope you finished your meal?' *nods* 'you know, you were hoping to wander about, and not have any suspicions? How about this' *tells him of her idea for having him come to the party, along with the other actors.  Listens for a while...then chuckles as she hangs up* 'knew he'd take that bait' *goes back to her other call, gives them the list of people she would like to have portrayed, then goes on to other duties.  

yep, a busy two days, but at the end of it all......

The evening of the party, she's making some last minute checks before people start coming in.  Everything does, in fact, look pretty good.  Decorated, but just a bit, giving an old west feel to things, even to a mustachioed bartender, character actors portraying some rather famous faces from the old west, Wyatt Earp and his brothers, Morgan and Virgil, Wild Bill Hicock, and off, seated, smoking a hand rolled cigarette is Doc Holliday.

Refreshements, decorations, security, all seems to be in place, even Christine in dressed as an old west Saloon girl, in a tight fitting, and rather low cut, at least in front red velvet dress, that ends in a froth of lace at her knees, black stocking, high heeled shoes, her dark hair up, with a red feather as accent.  Oh yes, and a garter, with what looks like a cigarette case tucked into it.

Yep, all is in readiness, for the guests to arrive.

(Sweet, im gonna hijack your descrïption and make a new thread for the party, so we can get this shizzle rollin'!)

coolies...warms up typing fingers
