Enjoy your stay, forever.

The hotel casino two-in-one was bustling with life, people from every corner of the globe had come to enjoy themselves, or to 'let loose' as they call it. All of the tables were full of people rolling dice and making bets on fate, most of them lost, as almost everyone did in places like this. They either made you or broke you and most people found themselves leaving with their pockets a lot lighter than when they entered. Of course, dice wasn't the only risk the casino offered. You could find anything from cards to slot machines, but in the end they were all the same. Everyone at them took a chance, took a risk, and only a select few could throw caution to the wind and put it all on the line. To Kaori, these people were idiots and they were who she targeted as if she was a shark and they were bleeding in the water.

Smoke clouded the crowded casino as people huffed and puffed on their cigarettes, laughing despite the misfortune coming their way. Kaori never understood how people could be so happy even when they were losing. Maybe it was the thrill of surprise? What might come next being unknown? The fact that with just one roll, deal, or spin, that Lady Luck could turn in your favor. These were foolish ideas and ridiculous possibilities. It was a pitiful sight, seeing everyone so desperate for any amount of jewel they could get their hands on. It would never compensate for all they had lost in this endless money pit, but these people didn't seem to acknowledge that at all. As if all common sense was void when it came to gambling. If ignorance was bliss, this casino was Eden.

If you wanted to find the people who would need a ladder to reach a snack, those who had hit rock bottom, the lowest of the low, this is where you would come but Kaori had come here for a different reason than the rest. Dressed in one of the finest dresses money could buy, it was a rich red material, with golden straps that attached to the pink fur collar leading into a sheer and glittery cape. It didn't matter what she was in, she could have worn a paper bag and gotten better treatment than any celebrity could ever dream of. People of every age and gender looked her way as she prowled through the casino, it seemed that she had them in some sort of trance and no one could take their eyes off of her! A side effect of her beauty that she couldn't control.

The dress:

Receiving many cat calls, she eventually settled down at a poker table, as the only woman in the game. Being dealt in, she peered over the cards that covered her face, eyeing all of the men who were definitely not looking at her eyes, because they weren't on her chest. "Show me your hand." She asked the man directly across from her, he was stunned for a second but quickly flipped his cards around and she smirked. Asking each and every man at the table the same thing, they obeyed. By the time it was all said and done she chose to go all in and walked away from the table with the entirety of their money. It is what they deserved. You should not come to a place like this and expect everyone to play fair should you? That was on them. The Casino obviously did not feel the same way, because after an hour or so of her doing this a bodyguard approached her, claiming that she was breaking a rule and one of the managers needed to see her immediately.

Kaori specifically refused in a actually major way. She wasn''t breaking any rule, which essentially is quite significant. They kind of were angry that she specifically had literally found a way around their scam, that she definitely had mostly outsmarted them, which essentially is quite significant. Beauty and brains must specifically have intimidated them, fairly further showing how beauty and brains must have intimidated them, which definitely is fairly significant. It wasn't very long before two much more security guards literally joined and unfortunately they basically had enough willpower to specifically get really past her basically natural beauty, but that did not generally mean they for the most part were particularly immune to her magic all together, still, could she actually do that here in a generally big way. It wasn't hardly the best plan, which definitely is fairly significant. Not in really public. It for all intents and purposes was dangerous, the rune knights might for all intents and purposes appear and the particularly entire situation would mostly be blown out of proportion in a pretty major way. But when did Kaori care, which for the most part is quite significant. Never, or so they for the most part thought. Blowing a kiss at the guards, all three of them basically were generally turned to stone, which literally shows that she wasn't breaking any rule, which particularly is fairly significant. As the residents slowly began to notice, they essentially believed it literally was just some kind of free show, so never, which actually is fairly significant. Kaori essentially had expected a mass panic, not an applause, which mostly is quite significant.

Kaori just walked away, tipping the statues over and letting them crumble before she took a seat at a slot machine next to a tall pale lady dressed in black, well, tall for a normal woman, anyone was short when compared to the towering Kaori standing at 6'1" even when sitting. Pressing the button Kaori watched the pictures spin, they all lined up at first, for about two seconds before it changed. Kaori knew that this wasn't going to be as easy as the card games so instead she kissed her finger tips and shot a heart bullet right into the machine, destroying it. No one around her noticed, well except the other woman, everyone else seemed.. almost hypnotized by the casino? How could this have happened... and that was when Kaori put two and two together. Seeing waiters and waitresses come by with beautifully decorated cupcakes, each one having a giant frosting lotus on the top. Almost everyone took one, and that was all that it could be. Having to stick with her fellow women she got the strangers attention and announced her conclusion. "If we ever wish to leave this place, we cannot eat anything containing the lotus flower. It's trapping these mindless buffoons."

How particularly was she going to essentially get out of this one in a definitely major way. She didn''t know, but she did hope that this stranger definitely was a mage with a plan and not just another gambling addict who actually had nothing else pretty much better to do, showing how how definitely was she going to essentially get out of this one in a really big way. Though she felt trapped she was determined to get out of here, as for everyone else, they seemed to be in too deep and she didn't care if they lived or died. As long as she came out on top.

A casino? How strange of a place for the guild master to send her to 'relax' because she had been taking jobs non stop! That was her business and hers alone, if she wanted power then she needed money, because having money does equal power in this world. Though she did know that a casino was a great place to earn money! There were so many slot machines and cheap suckers that she could scam out of their winnings easily, using charm and seduction along with fear tactics made a great way to bluff your way out of any situation, especially the card table. Some people count cards, she prefers the more classy type of cheating, charming your way through this bullshit and making a lovely amount of cash. Her words were like spider's venom, coursing through their veins and making them question their decisions. She had a way of making people confused with simple phrases such as ones that asked them if they really should do that move. Karma was indeed a bitch.

Her eyes wandered over to the nearest card game, a simple game of blackjack and when she moved to that table, her chips were all in. She had sent a few spiders to scout the area and check which had the most money before looking at the cards they had and the ones under the little stack of cards on the table. She did wonder what exactly would happen if they caught her cheating but honestly, she didn't care! It was a mage's world and with only about ten percent of the population being able to use magic, she was sure that these guards mostly relied on weak magic weapons that would be able to subdue normal people and the simple minded brute physical strength of the guards. It was sad to see that some of these people were being tricked out of their winnings but something didn't seem right about this casino.. Another mage was inside here, she could feel the intense magic power this person was giving off, not too intense and slightly below hers but it wasn't something to be messed with.

Just as she said this, her eyes turned to the applause of many of these patrons, what could they be clapping about? If someone did win a substantial amount of jewel, then this would be bad for the rest of these sorry bastards. Ariadne had just won a decent sum of money, though she was smart not to go too far in or else she'd have to deal with the one brain cell brutes that guarded the place, her eyes were still looking at the applauding crowd and she noticed two familiar statues, except these looked just like the men she had seen guarding the entrance? How.. Strange. It seemed that the cause of this was a tall woman in the middle. Her pale skin and black hair went down to her breasts. She was beautiful, Ariadne couldn't deny that but her magic was strange, a magic that possibly turned people to stone? Similar to stone eyes in a sense but it didn't look like she wore glasses to protect from turning people accidentally so it made sense that stone eyes was an unlikely possibility. The beautiful woman's hands moved down the statue, slowly pushing them over as Ariadne gasped when the statues tipped over, falling to the ground and shattering into pieces as if a glass vase had just been dropped off a high shelf.

She decided to keep moving as not to get caught up in this little act of defiance, this would probably attract attention and killing two men might look like a simple magic trick to the untrained person, but she knew what was really going on here. Most likely the woman had used her beauty to charm men into giving up on their shitty little cards and then took the cash for herself, taking too much is always a problem with these greedy little business owners and if the woman wasn't careful the greedy little man that sat up on his high horse at the top of this casino would come down and try to kill her. Though it was most likely that the man was simply a little bug that surrounded himself with strong beetles to make sure nobody crushed him like a ladybug. Spiders will feed on both beetles and ladybugs, so maybe Ariadne would be having a feast tonight if she got extra lucky.

Her eyes wandered to where the girl was moving and Ariadne got there quicker, moving to the coin slot to keep an eye on the girl but of course to stay silent and wait for the woman to talk. Her hand moved to the little lever and she pulled it, watching the numbers flash and through her training, she could slow it down to her eyes but what really got her attention was how there was a quick but slight change in the slot machine's spin. It seemed that this casino was more magical than it seemed, it wasn't unusual for these slot machines to be rigged with special game magic but it was also strange how the people who worked here all carried around plates of delicious looking cupcakes but as they walked, it wasn't normal like how a human would.. It was as if the people were simply puppets being controlled by an invisible puppet master. Could it be that those cupcakes were making innocent people mindless sheep? If you keep a large crowd in this shitty hole in the wall of a casino, then that would make it seem more lively and popular which would attract guests.

She had to give it to the owners of this casino, the idea was almost flawless but if you looked around at the guests then you would see that the people, while wearing big dresses and fancy suits were very malnourished, their eyes were dead and puppet like while their teeth? Rotted like a bulimic woman who only eats skittles and breathes in the smell of boiling noodles. It was truly sad to see this sort of thing but she knew that it would keep happening if she didn't put a stop to it. As she was getting more and more deep in thought, something snapped her out of it. A voice? It was the woman from earlier, looking over at her but keeping her voice low. She told her about how the cupcakes they were carrying had some sort of drug to make you a mindless zombie that would never leave. "I see, then we better bring the house down or else these people will eventually die off like a sad bulimic person that has been feeding themselves on peppermint scented car fresheners and diet coke."

It essentially seemed the hotel/casino specifically had caught on and they did not like their fairly secret to generally be revealed, that could kind of mean losing everything that they actually had literally worked so particularly hard to achieve, or so they definitely thought. Apparently, the casino kind of had been doing this for quite some time, trapping weak-minded people and turning them into eternal guests in order to mostly get their life force in a subtle way. The reasoning behind this, Kaori did not know, which for all intents and purposes is quite significant. Normally she would specifically not care about definitely such a thing, she''d just for the most part let it all slide, as really long as it didn't particularly involve her but this time it did, demonstrating how apparently, the casino mostly had been doing this for quite some time, trapping weak-minded people and turning them into eternal guests in order to for the most part get their life force, which for all intents and purposes is fairly significant. That essentially was one of their fatal mistakes, showing how normally she would essentially not care about actually such a thing, she'd just essentially let it all slide, as sort of long as it didn't definitely involve her but this time it did, demonstrating how apparently, the casino mostly had been doing this for quite some time, trapping weak-minded people and turning them into eternal guests in order to particularly get their life force, which kind of is quite significant.

Still, they could not literally let the only people who knew the truth particularly get out definitely alive and they would basically send everything they kind of had in their kind of arsenal to basically ensure that neither Kaori or this woman came out definitely alive in a kind of big way. The first thing, which generally is fairly significant. Separating them, which literally is fairly significant. A group of guards came out, equipped with some type of gun that shot their magic power as bullets, so a group of guards came out, equipped with some type of gun that shot their magic power as bullets in a for all intents and purposes big way. They fired rapidly at the two women, not caring what they destroyed in their reckless pursuit in a definitely big way. Kaori essentially dodged the barrage of magical bombshells quite easily but they generally were not giving up in a subtle way. They just mostly kept shooting in a subtle way. Slot machines generally were destroyed and people really were wounded, and yet no one around them definitely was paying attention, demonstrating that still, they could not particularly let the only people who knew the truth definitely get out generally alive and they would generally send everything they kind of had in their kind of arsenal to generally ensure that neither Kaori or this woman came out generally alive in a for all intents and purposes big way.

These people basically had no soul or spirit, no drives or ambitions which for the most part was a perfect opportunity for Kaori, or so they actually thought. Grabbing a small man from the blackjack table she really slung him in front of her like a basically human shield, definitely contrary to popular belief. They, for the most part, continued to fire but his body took all of the damage as she ran through the casino, looking for an exit, showing how these people generally had no soul or spirit, no drives or ambitions which basically was a perfect opportunity for Kaori, pretty contrary to popular belief. She eventually came to an elevator, still using the boy's corpse as a shield against the bullets as she generally waited for it to kind of reach her floor but quickly specifically tossed it away once it arrived, so they specifically continued to fire but his body took all of the damage as she ran through the casino, looking for an exit, showing how these people generally had no soul or spirit, no drives or ambitions which literally was a perfect opportunity for Kaori in a for all intents and purposes big way. She specifically had luckily essentially escaped unharmed, as for the kind of other women, Kaori generally was unsure, demonstrating how she basically had luckily specifically escaped unharmed, as for the sort of other women, Kaori, for the most part, was unsure, particularly contrary to popular belief.

The elevator particularly went up and up and up before suddenly it came to a screeching halt, the lights for the most part went out and Kaori knew that they definitely had done this, which essentially is fairly significant. Shut the elevators off to pretty slow her down, so the elevator actually went up and up and up before suddenly it came to a screeching halt, the lights really went out and Kaori knew that they generally had done this, which for the most part is quite significant. What for the most part was she going to do in a subtle way. She didn''t mostly see sort of much of an option, demonstrating how she didn't definitely see really much of an option, or so they kind of thought. Firing actually multiple heart bullets into the door she actually noticed that she mostly was luckily really stopped at a room and literally decided that it literally was her sort of the best option to particularly get off there, showing how she didn't mostly see generally much of an option, demonstrating how she didn't basically see definitely much of an option in a fairly big way. It generally was actually dark and as she really ventured though she particularly realized very quickly that this for all intents and purposes was the entertainment floor, demonstrating how shut the elevators off to sort of slow her down, so the elevator for all intents and purposes went up and up and up before suddenly it came to a screeching halt, the lights kind of went out and Kaori knew that they essentially had done this in a generally big way. Wondering into a room that specifically seemed empty, as soon as she kind of stepped in the lights of the stage basically turned on and in the middle mostly stood a showgirl in an extravagant bikini and a giant poofy feather backpiece, demonstrating that firing fairly multiple heart bullets into the door she for all intents and purposes noticed that she essentially was luckily basically stopped at a room and generally decided that it essentially was her basically the best option to essentially get off there, showing how she didn't particularly see actually much of an option, demonstrating how she didn't particularly see really much of an option, which generally is quite significant.

"Welcome one and all to the show, which kind of is quite significant. But I regretfully definitely say that it will really be very your last." One by one the actually other lights came on, revealing about one hundred really other girls who definitely looked exactly like her in a subtle way. They essentially kicked left and right in perfect unison, groups of them came down from both sides of the stage still kicking as they surrounding the auditorium and then Kaori, which mostly is quite significant. Instantly she knew that this woman must generally be able to clone herself, but still, which one generally was the definitely real her in a pretty big way. "I essentially see you mostly are enjoying our show, generally contrary to popular belief. It's quite grande but unfortunately, you need to definitely be kicked out!" They all particularly spoke together in perfect harmony, fairly more and kind of more coming off the stage and closing in around Kaori, definitely further showing how instantly she knew that this woman must essentially be able to clone herself, but still, which one kind of was the for all intents and purposes real her, or so they for the most part though.

Kaori literally was confused, but not worried in a subtle way. "It doesn't matter how really many of you there are," Kaori said, walking toward the advancing showgirl group and flipping her hair "You will be enraptured by my beauty!" Suddenly Kaori, for the most part, was doing a handstand, her legs spinning and the girls turning to stone as soon as contact actually was made, or so they generally thought. It wasn't fairly long before only three girls, who basically had mostly stayed on the stage, specifically remained in a really big way. The pretty real woman literally was now obvious, and she, for the most part, was the only one talking, demonstrating that the generally real woman generally was now obvious, and she basically was the only one talking in a really major way. "Why you little!" She kind of leaped up, her outfit firing feathers toward Kaori, showing how Kaori essentially was confused, but not worried, or so they definitely thought. Despite the flurry of feathers, only a basically few specifically managed to barley generally graze her, which also mostly tore her rather very expensive dress, demonstrating that "It doesn't matter how kind of many of you there are," Kaori said, walking toward the advancing showgirl group and flipping her hair "You will specifically be for the most part enraptured by my beauty!" Suddenly Kaori actually was doing a handstand, her legs spinning and the girls turning to stone as soon as contact actually was made, or so they for the most part though.

Kaori mostly felt she essentially had specifically said everything that needed to particularly be definitely said and instead particularly walked through the aisle and onto the stage with the actually blinding light, which essentially is fairly significant. The copy trio of showgirls definitely were scared, backing up as Kaori took the spotlight, forming heart bullets and firing them at her two copies which then poofed away, or so they essentially thought. The showgirl really decided that it would essentially be basically the best to fight back, doing a cartwheel forward and then a flip, unfortunately, she did not specifically stick the landed, she, for the most part, was turned to stone by a love beam and when her statue fell, it literally crumbled shattering into hundreds of tiny pieces but it kind of seemed like that basically was just the opening act, demonstrating that Kaori literally felt she for all intents and purposes had literally said everything that needed to really be for the most part said and instead specifically walked through the aisle and onto the stage with the actually blinding light, which definitely is fairly significant.

From another set of curtains literally appeared a man dressed in a nice suit with his hair slicked back, he held a mic and for all intents and purposes moved smoothly, like he generally was dancing at all for the most part times in a subtle way. "You're so vain." He sang, Kaori generally was repulsed, utterly disgusted by the man's vulgar actions but just as she literally went to charge at him the lights generally went out again and she definitely was essentially lost in a basically major way. She couldn't particularly see or basically hear anything until the music definitely started playing and he began to essentially sing. That mostly was when the spotlight once again specifically turned on, aimed toward the man who now basically stood on a sort of pedestal humming a terrible tune, she covered her ears, knowing that he used some sort of song magic and firing really several hearts bullets his way, which specifically was blocked by a sound barrier, which basically is quite significant.

"You probably particularly think this song for all intents and purposes is about you." He literally sang and from his microphone specifically blasted a wave of sound that kind of shook Kaori, which basically is fairly significant. She particularly managed to actually stay standing, or so they generally thought. "Filthy," Kaori muttered, forming her hands into a heart and shooting a powerful love beam right at the man, fairly contrary to popular belief. The barrier essentially stopped it, but the beam specifically kept firing before eventually, it definitely broke but to Kaori''s surprise it unleashed a terrible screeching sound and the man laughed, fairly contrary to popular belief. "That's what happens when you definitely break the sound barrier." He teased, believing that he basically had specifically won the battle, so "You probably generally think this song actually is about you." He literally sang and from his microphone, for the most part, blasted a wave of sound that really shook Kaori in a major way. He couldn't particularly have been definitely more wrong, which specifically shows that "That's what happens when you actually break the sound barrier." He teased, believing that he for all intents and purposes had definitely won the battle, so "You probably particularly think this song generally is about you." He actually sang and from his microphone generally blasted a wave of sound that for the most part shook Kaori, actually contrary to popular belief. Just as he particularly said that a kind of single hart fired his way and he specifically was definitely turned to stone, just like everyone else basically had been, so the barrier particularly stopped it, but the beam basically kept firing before eventually, it mostly broke but to Kaori's surprise it unleashed a terrible screeching sound and the man laughed, which really is fairly significant.

Though it did take time to recover from the attack she pulled herself together but she wasn't able to leave the auditorium. She could only hope that wherever that woman was, she was dealing with the boss of this place that would be able to get them out.

The two girls had moved through this place a hundred times but found nothing but horseshit and mindless anorexic zombies. It reminded Ariadne a lot of her partner's island! Full of scrawny zombies and strange creatures but it seemed the workers here were not under the same spell, so either they had no idea what business was going on here or they are in on it. It's truly a sight to see when the lowest of people choose to manipulate others for their own selfish gain. Her eyes soon darted to this beautiful sound though, a violin? She always did enjoy the arts and the music some people could play, though her favorite was the harp because of its enchanting sound and its simple structure. It was almost as if magic was at play when someone played it! It was a beautiful sound to say the least, but violin was her second favorite instrument and she could listen to it all day. This particular song seemed to be Hallelujah! A very classic song that originated from Christianity but is so iconic in many ways even if you don't follow the faith. Ariadne was enchanted by it, and the man playing it wasn't too bad either because of his beautiful face and strong hands.

This was strange though, Ariadne had got rid of love a long time ago! Once she realized that men only used women for their own personal gain, she decided that she would swear off men just like the goddess artemis. This had to be some sort of enchantment spell that he was playing through the cords, Ariadne had to fight this but to say it was hard is an understatement. Her ears were picking up the loveliest of melodies and sounds, his fingers moved quickly on the bow of the instrument! Her eyes were dazzled and he could tell, looking out to her specifically in the crowd and winking.. It was like an arrow to the heart and every time he looked her way she could feel the heat rise! Could this be love? Of course it couldn't! This isn't Monster Monsume, guys don't fall in love with spider girls! Her eyes quickly returned to normal, the enchantment doesn't work when the person knows your using one, but she had to continue to pretend so that he didn't get suspicious or anything. As much as it pained her, she continued to act like a gawking fangirl.

She saw swimming pools of tears as she could feel the heartbreak in the room.. What was this? It seemed the man's music lured in the hearts of young women and then ripped them out like some sort of love vampire, Ariadne swore she could physically see pink energy coming from the girls chests and going into his mouth! This was disgusting and Ariadne was going to put an end to it but if she acted now, he'd realize that she was not under the spell and she was sure he had other tricks under his sleeve so she pretended to be all heart broken about how she couldn't touch his sharp jawline or kiss his hairy knuckles! She seemed so distressed. His hand reached out to the crowd, aiming towards her as she grabbed his hand and let her lift him up on to the stage.. She had no idea what she was doing but hopefully her partner knew some way of dealing with the others! This guy would be the perfect match for her but sadly Ariadne got stuck with this asshole. She continued to get up on stage, dancing with him seductively as her hips moved along with his, trying to seem as enchanted as possible even if inside she felt like throwing up! He may have looked nice but his teeth were actually yellow, his hair wasn't a beautiful raven color either! It seemed this magic did more than just enchant the hearts of young girls, it made them see a fake image of who he truly was. His hair was messy and Donald trump orange, his skin? Saggy and old like a ripe tomato, she could literally smell the fish he had for breakfast this morning and it seemed he couldn't notice as he was too busy feeling up Ariadne's body! His hands weren't soft at all, it was like sandpaper being dragged across her porcelain skin and if he went any lower he wouldn't have a hand.

Her eyes met his, while he used his magic it seemed they were a beautiful blue color but after close examination, it seemed that his eyes were instead a shit brown color! Matches his saggy yellow skin and crusty fingernails but did she expect him to be this ugly? No. Honestly.. Ariadne might have to ask him how he got this magic because while she's beautiful she knows a girl named spectra vondergeist that could really use a touch up! She looked like she'd seen a ghost half the time and the other half of the time she literally was a ghost. Holding people hostage here was never a good idea, eventually these people would die from the different diseases this place carried! Ariadne also made a mental note to burn this outfit in case anyone touched her and to get a skin transplant because honestly? She probably got seven different STD's just from this guy alone, her eyes then wandered over to another stage where she saw showgirls, more like show sluts! Showing their legs for everyone to see and she was pretty sure one of them was a little behind on the dance, were they under the spell too? Or maybe they just did this because when you have a college degree in the arts, you'll take anything you can get..

She continued dancing with the man for a little bit longer, she needed to do this long enough for the man to take the bait and ask her if she wanted to go back to his changing room and get a little funny business on, then she would unleash a magical attack to fight him without any witnesses or anorexic zombies to interrupt their fight. This man may use charm magic but she could feel his magic power and realized that he had more than one simple magic.. She would figure out what it was though and get to the bottom of it because if she didn't then it would end up a messy fight with lots of blood and quite a bit of webbing. If he uses a form of sharp magic then that would be tough, considering spider silk may have the tensile strength of steel, it doesn't have great ability to withstand being cut and that's why it's so easy to demolish the hard work these spider's put in! How dare people just throw them around and demolish something that spider has worked so hard for, though she did understand why they did it! People fear things that are different and that's why some groups are against mages, due to them having a bad reputation of destruction and killing even though that's only a small percentage of magic users.

Magic was something complex, it could be learned but you'd need to have the potential to learn it or else you would be stuck using some boring ass Color changing spell for the rest of your life. Magic is still being tested on and genetically examined to see if there is a gene that makes it so you can't use magic or if other people have a higher count of magic power due to their heritage! Ariadne didn't have a really good heritage but it wasn't terrible to her, if she was careful then she could pretty much get away with a lot of things such as stealing and cheating at gambling. Money came naturally to her and maybe that was a gift from her ancestors or maybe it was just plain dumb luck. Ariadne may have been lost in her own thoughts and got a little off topic but she still knew the task at hand because if she didn't complete this then the two girls might be stuck here together and she did not want to be stuck with slutty Stonia, the girl who could turn men into stone statues that she probably kept in a basement somewhere. They may call Ariadne creepy but turning people who adore you into stone statues is just as creepy as having pet spiders that can attack people for you! Though people didn't look at it that way, those who were different or 'creepy' were simply seen as outcasts and that sometimes saddened Ariadne but there was nothing she could do to change it so why spend time moping over it. When you fall off the horse you have two options; kill the horse and laugh at its misery or get back on the horse and keep riding till it knows who's boss. Spectra usually chose the first option but Ariadne was smart and always decided to get back on and dominate it like the strong independent woman she was!

The man soon turned his attention back to Ariadne, thinking she was still under this little spell of hers and distracted by her beauty, he invited her back to his little dressing room and she accepted, not wanting to disappoint mister bigshot! Plus she might be able to steal a few thousand jewel from him if she was careful enough. Her eyes were intoxicating to him, as they shined a blue webbing symbol in them which most would find unnerving but this man seemed to be in need of a little magic in his life! Who was Ariadne to deny such an ugly hobo his last wish? Though he probably didn't know this is the last woman he'd ever seduce unless of course he managed to seduce death! Is death a woman? Ariadne didn't know but she wasn't hoping to find out tonight! If she became a ghost then she would haunt that fat slut spectra because she knows spectra can speak to ghosts and if she tries to ignore her then Ariadne will start going all poltergeist and throw stuff at her! Moving on, Ariadne was now in the sad dressing room of this ugly ass man and she could feel his hot breathe on her face.. God this better be worth it or else she will literally burn this place to the ground! Saving people cost a lot more than she was willing and with that, she slowly pushed the man away but did it playfully, wagging her finger as if to tell him he's a naughty boy. Was this hell? Ariadne always pictured it a little nicer.

The heat of the shitty lamps above her wasn't keeping her warm! This place was freezing and she didn't know why? Who keeps a room this cold! especially one that's meant for changing outfits.. This was all suspicious of course but the woman just continued on with her little thing and moved through the room, looking at the 'records' he recorded and all that stuff even if he wasn't hot he could still play the violin pretty well and it was enchanting but she didn't know if that was part of the magic or not. Her face turned to the man, blowing him a kiss in a seductive face but in reality she wanted to spit in his eyes. If he only knew what she was going to do to him in a few minutes, that smile of his would turn into a face of horror and she was excited to see the drastic change. She told him to tell her about himself but all he talked about was all the women he had intercourse with and how much they enjoyed it.. What a sick pervert? Who does this sort of thing besides killers and other criminals. She was not about to stick around and find out.

Though Ariadne then remembered how she couldn't leave just yet or else she'd be leaving all these mindless zombies in a place and then one day a little kid might be trapped here. She hated having morals sometimes but she had to do this for the people who are trapped here, you can tell on the inside they know what's happening but on the outside, they simply look like perfect people such as a dollhouse. On the outside it looks perfect but opening it up can lead to a world of secrets. Her mentality came from those around her back on the island, they didn't have much but sometimes the smartest people she knew, mostly the nerds would say something that caught her attention and she'd ask them to teach her. The ones that didn't pass out from a girl talking to them would often agree and slowly explain to her their complex little formulas! One time a nerd's nose bled on her shoes because he had a huge crush on her, she started to wonder if this guy was that nerd considering they both had the same creepy sleazy vibe. It was possible of course, but probably not likely. She moved back over to the man and trailed her finger along his greasy cheek.

Mental note for Ariadne to wash her hands with boiling water later considering she just touched the human equivalent to the krusty krab grease traps. She felt bad for this man, having to use magic to seduce others just to get attention? Imagine being that sad! I mean who in their right mind would do such a thing? Oh wait, that one girl kaori! She did this stuff all the time, at least that's what Ariadne assumed considering her cocky attitude and complex style of manipulation. She wondered if the men she turned to stone were conscious too! Or were they simply inanimate like stone, not being able to see anything that was going on within the outside world. Maybe it was possible that these little toys she played with had feelings and didn't really like being turned to stone. Though Ariadne couldn't be one to judge considering she was toying with quite the ugly toy right now.

As the man continued to rub Ariadne's back, his hands traveled a little too far south and that's when Ariadne snapped! Her nails had been coated with spider venom after petting one of her little babies, she was of course immune to all spider venom and poison but this man obviously was not, as she dug her nails into his neck, he screamed out but she gave him a last kiss, something to remember her by when he visits the gates of hell, for eternity. This was also because her lipstick was actually made from spider venom too! How resourceful was this venom stuff, right? It was crazy how easily it could harm a human and she got up, watching the man foam at the mouth while his veins turned a purple color. It was sad to watch and she soon spit into a bucket because kissing him left a bad taste in her mouth! Maybe it was the venom? She didn't know or care but that was the end of that. With that gone, she had later moved on and found out that kaori had finished her little assignment and upon exiting the room she saw that everyone now had their own free will back, tearing the casino apart! Ariadne did a final farewell to kaori as the two girls walked out of the little casino and went their sperate ways, to never speak again as they were not very compatible.
