Zuba's House of Leasure, it's was withing the top 25 establishments on the planet some where in the bottom 10 always moving up and down on the list. But if you asked the people who lived on Krokoa and those who frequented the planet often would tell u it was worthy of top ten status. And would be up there if it wasn't for the owners own actions. Knowing full well that certain laws and taxes were added to the top ten in efforts to continue the planets overall well being, Zuba Stix worked hard to keep its establishment within the top 25 for the benefits and marketing yet when the yearly examinations and ruling came by he would make curtain to loose point over some violent outbreak or bad kitchen decisions. None that would cause him to loose his place in the top ten but maybe drop a few places. Bad fish here, drunk fight there, maybe a robbery to spice things up. Mr. Stix like being in the high teens and twenties it gave him the tax break he needed and the notoriety guaranteed continued revenue. All that with minimal oversight from the grand committee that oversaw the planet. Yeah, he was sitting pretty in a place where he mad maximum profit with little payout. And he had for about 200 years. With fee more centuries in his body not much could make life better. With a slim toned figure Mr. Stix was a little over six foot tall with pale gray skin and short black hair and a clean shave face he was barely what some would say considered to be handsome but he wasn't ugly by a long shot. Though his eyes were like pools of liquid gold always swirling. He was currently walking down the isles of the casino portion of the establishment rocks of slot machines and other similar gambling games stood in rows wrapped around by tables of black jack, caps, and other widely known cards and table games. He was just headed down the isle that connected to the casino to the food court. From and overhead view zubas was a giant circle with a smaller circle about a third of the size inside of it the area outside the smaller circle was split up into three sections. Each sections was about 2 city clocks the long way and 1 the short way. With the circle in the middle being some what bigger. The food court sat in the center, surrounded by a casino district, and athletics district, and a pleasure district. The ceiling was past the height of a 10 story building so withing those districts were small kiosks and buildings. On the edges of the center circle were all kinds of kitchen and cooks surrounding hundreds of tables sectioned off depending on which cuisine and hut they were stationed with. And almost every seat in every district was occupied. The loud rings and chimes of the machines and cheers from lucky winners, the laughs and energy from the food court. The energy that came from the men and women playing sports and the distant moans of those in the midst of pleasure. From curved wall to curved wall there was joy, laughter , excitement, and arousal. And a few tears of massive loss trinkled I'm from an unlucky few in the casino. This place was marvelous and everything Zuba had imagined it to be and then some. He was rich beyond what he had hoped and tight fisted with his money like his mother taught him. Unlike mosts owners on the planet Zuba was also proud to be able to say he Lacked most vices. He only ever participated in the more debaucherious actions in very rare occasions. And he wasn't much for drinking and drugs. Though he had the urges for the more sexual things in life and others vices he simply had more control then impulse and it also helped to know time was barely a factor for his species a millenia being the shortest if there lifespans ever recorded and the longest being past 10,000 years. And he himself was only 327. A rare man indeed. Rich with fee comparisons somewhat handsome and charming. And very humble. Though many times these aspects have cause the few rough individuals that have come through to assume he is harmless. Which is far from the case. Passing into the food district a few dozen tables in his eyes caught sight of one man who could attest to this very fact. A beast man with a bottomless stomach and a diamond hard chip on his shoulder. His maneuvered his way around the sea of tables until he was just a few tables away. And then he noticed the two who were accompanying him. A beast women with auburn fur more beast then women who was usually with him, but the third he was seeing for the first time. He was clearly of the same race as his old friend but he felt a strange air about him all the way from these few meters. Black hair and handsome face a top a stunning galactic performance posing as a suit. He was something to look at to say the least. After a moment of pause Zuba continued onward. A few moments later he was just behind the gray haired beast man who was currently two fistfuls deep into a plate of seasoned meats. "Well I see your appetite hasn't changed my furry friend. Drax will be happy to finally work hard for once." Ashurs ears perked and he turn with a mouthful a food. Giving the meat a fee more chews he swallowed hard to hurry and speak. Pending his chest a couple of times he let out a deep breath." Whooo. Yeah, it probably never will. It's been a while hasn't it. The place looks amazing like always. The red light districts new. How's that going so far?" Alana stood up and walked over to zuba to give him a hug." Its been too long you pale bastard. Too busy to send a message to you old subordinates?" Zuba chuckled and returned Alana's hug." Pretty sure you two stopped being subordinates when the war ended. Even more so when you Two became way more powerful then me. It is nice to see you again young ones." Zuba tilted his head to look at Ashur." And to answer your question I should've put it in before the sports area. Would've been able to afford that natural springs spa district I've been thinking about. Although I've also become privy to the more..disgusting sides of some of our patrons but I digress. Anyway hopefully you enjoy your stay again. Oh where are my manners." Zuba turned to face Negyro and gave him a slight bow." My name is Zuba Stix. I am the owner and operator of this establishment. My apologies for my late introduction." Negyro stood and returned Zubas bow." Think nothing of it Mr. Stix. My name is Negyro unfortunately I have mo sir name to give you. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." Ashur had chosen that moment to sit down and answers Zubas last question. " Honetly, we should be here a while. At least until we decide what to do next kind of came here on a whim." Zuba sat in the chair next to Ashur. "Well I'm glad to hear it. We can spend sometime together after so long." Zuba pulled a device out of his pocket and pressed a button. A second later a light beamed up and changed into the shape of a women behind a desk. "Debby darling, please clear my schedule for the rest of the week and Make a note to let anyone important know it could be longer. I'll be with some friends until they leave." You could barely see the look of confusion on Debby." You....clear the schedule?....uh okay yes boss. What's the reason I should give out?" Zubas looked as though he had over looked that fact. "Right, well tell them I've had familial obligations pop up and am not sure when my time will me open." After typing for a few moments Debby said her goodbyes and Zuba put away his phone." Oh I should probably ha e asked if I can join you huh?." The three beast people look at him confused and only one was confused for his own reason."Of course not why would you need to ask that in your own place." Ashur spoke first then Alana." Exactly. Your our friend let get drunk and gamble like the old days." The three of them laughed. Negyro simply sat there confused. 'What's a red light district?' A little whuke layer Ashur fished his food and the groupl began to order drinks and move from district to district. Slowly they all found their own place to enjoy the time. Alana had ended up at a blackjack table with a drink in one hand and a stack of chips she was playing with in the other. Ashur and Negyro were in the sports district playing a round of eclipse ball while Zuba sat on the sidelines keeping score. "For someone whose never played before you have a hell of a back swing." Negyro was just finishing his last hit sending the birdie arcing across the net and Ashur rush forward to receive. "Well it's fairly simple isn't it . Don't hit it more then once and don't let it touch your side of the floor first. After that it's all blah blah blah." Zuba chuckles. "I have a tournament happen here ever so often you Two join. Give the reigning Champs a heart attack." Ashur laughed at this. " I'm surprised they have held the title so long. Though nothing beats a team of brothers I suppose." After a few more back and forth Ashur manage to slam the birdie just past the net before Negyro could stop him. "That's 5-2 Negyro. You may be good but not good enough." Negyro always enjoyed physical games. Mostly for the competitive spirit it brought out of most people. He was enjoying himself more and more as time passed. Soon the 3 of them moved from there game to join Alana for a few rounds of gambling. She was now at a crabs table clearly hammered and hollering for a win. "Come on ya round bastard. Get it there. Red 13 all day baby!" As if the table had obeys moments later the ball b
Clattered into the red 13 spot and Alana jump a surprising distance in the air. "Yahoo! If this keeps up I could upgrade the hanger with repair assistance. Maybe even heated seats in the cock pit." The guys walled up and stood behind her. Ashur spoke first." I'll never understand how u get so lucky here. It's like this casino adores u." Alana turned her head and chuckle. "As always you pop up at the nest parts of the night. If you had been here 30 minutes ago you would've seen a much smaller pile." The guys chose to leave her at the table and try the slot machines out. For the remainder of the night our group and there companion drank, ate, gambled, and played. And this cycle repeated for a few days only stopping when sleep washed over them, until they woke up again.
