Log;

Lucky's casino is busy as usual on Thursday, but those inside will notice that the stage normally reserved for entertainment is shrouded in a large curtain. The owner is seated, prepared to listen to the audition of a buxom blond who seems shy and has no real command over the stage. After a deep breath, she begins to sing in a voice barely above a whisper:

"Happy birthday to you~"

Before she can really get into the meat of the song, the curtain rises to reveal an unusual spectacle. Women of all sizes and shapes dressed comfortably in next to nothing. Those inside the casino can see them make a musical entrance. They seem to dote especially on the owner, who appears to be hoisted in his seat by two beefy men in shiny speedos. They carry him closer to what appears to be a cake.

It's not.

The exterior slips away revealing a mounted pole and another woman who has no problem steadying her stilettos on the arms of the chair the owner is being held captive in from time to time.

Looks like it's SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY

All varieties of business continue as usual after the reveal. The women and men will flirt with anyone who has the means to earn their attention. There's even a new racehorse to the circuit being promoted out back! Come evening, patriotic Americans launch fireworks into the night sky. So come! There's good company, gambling, drinks and dancing-- eat, drink and be merry in honor of the holiday and Meyer Lansky's birthday!

"Oh yeah. No. If I was going to embezzle from you, I'd do it with a lot more subtly." Theo says that with an almost off-handed manner.

"I'm sure that's true. And I'm equally sure that if I ever caught you embezzling, I'd be a lot more upset than I am about this party."

His tone is completely offhand as well, and he almost looks amused, although his smiles often veil something else.

"Any proper business man would. But I wouldn't bother embezzling from here anyway."

You don't steal money from a pair of gangsters. Really. He's not that dumb. Also the place is too small and it wouldn't be worthwhile.

"Also, my father says if you need to embezzle from somewhere you're not doing a good job to get money in other ways. A good business man can figure out how to get people to want to hand you more money than they should. Casinos are actually pretty good for that, though my father's never bothered with them. He dislikes leaning on things that depend on chance."

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, casinos don't depend on chance if you conduct your business properly."

But now's hardly a time for a deep exploration of the gambling industry, nor why he enjoys running card games so much. After all, this is a party, and despite his reluctance to actually indulge himself in any of the entertainment, he feels a strange obligation, as the owner of the casino, to mingle with the guests a little.

He gives Theo a slight smile. "I'm going to go talk to Al. Have fun."
