Blood In The Water

The Shark Tank... Usually, just a casino, but flyers had been posted and handed out, all over Vegas, indicating that, for this night, gambling would be optional. That there would be a party for Hallowe'en and a themed costume contest to match. Good for publicity and, not to mention, the bar - especially with no entrance fee!

Downstairs was the gambling section. Upstairs being where the main party was being held. Only the two floors existed and it made for a nice, self-contained atmosphere.

No actual vampires or other denizens of the night, of course. At least, for the most part. They tended to find nights like this a little offensive.

Something else which would be changing later...

[OOC: Open to everyone! Make yourselves at home and things will take a change for the violent in a little while. :)]

Get people out. As many as she could. Echo could feel herself calming now that someone has taken charge. The Tiger's Eye swung on its gold chain. She might not be able to shift here, but she could summon the Wolf's sense of command. Her shoulders squared with purpose.

She slipped into a patch of shadows, out of range of the strobing lights. She knew this was dangerous, but she couldn't afford to let fear take over. Lives were at stake. That mattered more than how she felt.

The first people she rounded up were huddled in a far corner, possibly a family. When Echo got close enough, she smelled piss. The stench of fresh blood wasn't as strong this far away from the stage. The hybrid put on her best calm expression.

"Come on, I can get you out," she whispered, reaching for the man's lanky shoulder. He inched towards her, clutching the arm of the woman he was with. In turn, she grabbed for the shoulders of the teenaged boys and towed them along.

The door was a darker shadow. Echo shuffled the civilians along, herding them towards safety. If she kept her cool, she'd save lives tonight.
