The Waking Up In Vegas Meme



The { WAKING UP IN VEGAS } meme

Shut up and put your money where your mouth is
That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas


:::

Sin City – the entertainment and gambling capital of the world. There’s something hypnotizing about the glitz and glamour in this den of excess and greed. You can be anything or anyone you want to be in America’s playground, but there are consequences to every action. Too bad the tequila, the showgirls in feather boas, and Celine Dion seem to make you forget all of that.

HOW TO PLAY
1.) This is the easy part – leave a comment with your character, canon, and any preferences you may have in the subject heading.
2.) Look for partners-in-crime/sudden marriage mates/fellow performers – tag other characters. Choose a prompt or run around the city doing your own thing.
3.) MY GOD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
4.) Have fun, but please remember that you are liable for any lost property, destroyed buildings, or potential lawsuits that follow your stay in Vegas.

1.) YOU GOTTA HELP ME OUT / IT’S ALL A BLUR LAST NIGHT
Ugh, where in the world are you? This doesn’t look like your hotel room, and these definitely don’t look like the people you were hanging out with last night. Wait, why is there a monkey in the bathroom? Why does everyone keep you calling you the Duchess of Devonshire? Who the hell ordered all of these tanks of helium?! Oh god did you put this all on your credit card?

2.) I LOST MY FAKE ID / BUT YOU LOST THE MOTEL KEY
Technically, you’re not supposed to be anywhere near the casinos for several more years. But that’s what you’ve got a fake ID for – let’s just hope it lasts you the night.

3.) GET UP AND SHAKE THE GLITTER OFF YOUR CLOTHES NOW
Las Vegas is your stage – whether you’re a world-renowned performer or just launching your career or are simply one of the myriads of sequined contortionists performing in the latest Cirque du Soleil show, you know the backstage hijinks better than anyone else. Do you love the lights or are you getting a bit jaded for having to do this night after night?

4.) WHY ARE THESE LIGHTS SO BRIGHT? / DID WE GET HITCHED LAST NIGHT?
There is a wedding band on your finger that wasn’t there last night. Were you eloping on purpose or did the third bottle of tequila convince you that this strangely-confused Elvis would be a perfect marriage mate? Better yet, how in the world is the honeymoon going to top this?

5.) DON’T CALL YOUR MOTHER / BECAUSE NOW WE’RE PARTNERS IN CRIME
The crime of the century is about to go down in Vegas and you are at the center of it. Will you get away with cheating the system and getting away with millions, or will your face end up plastered across the news station for entirely different reasons.

6.) GET SOME CASH OUT / WE’RE GONNA TEAR UP THE TOWN
Someone has a birthday/retirement/engagement, and you’ve decided that the best way to celebrate is through Smirnoff, dancing ladies, and overpriced restaurants. Well, no city knows how to party like Vegas – lets just hope everyone gets through the nice in one piece and with their credit still somewhat intact.

7.) WILDCARD
Hey, it’s your money. Do whatever the hell you want.
And remember - what happens in Vegas, stays on YouTube.

The only trouble is, I can't quite decide which casino we should hit first. Preferences?
hairflyingheartpounding: (Sorry... I guess I'm a little jumpy)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you can pick.

[This is so foreign to her; she's nervous and it shows.]

The Bellagio's a decent target, but I hate to be cliché. The Venetian would be more original... do you want to do this practical way, or the fun way? [Don't worry, Padawan. By the end of the day, you'll be a true expert in robbing casinos, just like you never wanted!]
hairflyingheartpounding: (Mother...)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I... I guess if we're going to do it, we should have fun, right?
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ mask: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE)

1/2

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we'll toss a coin! [suddenly HOLDING ONE UP DRAMATICALLY]

Heads, we hit the Bellagio! Tails the Venetian! The side... we hit both!
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ ah...)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Not both at once, obviously. You're still a little too green for that.
hairflyingheartpounding: (Disney heroine)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably a good idea.

Although I don't think the coin will land on its side, anyway.
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ laugh)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)

tosses the coin. so that it lands on its side.]


Oh, what a surprise! Guess it's decided, huh?
hairflyingheartpounding: (Oh boy...)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Is that a trick coin?
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ eheheh)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
What, you think your kindly superior is some kind of cheat? Here, watch! [picking up the coin and throwing it again - heads!]

See? You try, if you really trust me that little. [offers it. isn't he trustworthy? :)]
hairflyingheartpounding: (Mother...)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright...

[She takes the coin and tosses it up...]
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ explanation)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[nice try, but that's a perfectly normal coin. directing coin tosses is just one of a superhuman ex-assassin's skilsets, thankyouverymuch.]

[also he is humming the Jaws theme as it falls. don't ask.]
hairflyingheartpounding: (Feeling better now)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[The coin lands on heads again, and she nods.]

Alright. Sorry about that.
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ clap)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand. You've doubtless been horribly betrayed in the past, and today will be a wacky bonding experience which will teach us the true meaning of camaraderie and so on. If it takes too long, we'll save it for the sequel. [anyone would think he was messing with you. but surely not!]

For now, let's start planning! Bellagio first, I like alphabetical order. Ideas?
hairflyingheartpounding: (I'm not afraid of you)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I never said--

[Okay, he's crazy. She's doing a crazy thing with a crazy person. This is going to be a disaster.]

No. You're the one in charge.
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ when a plan comes together)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-19 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[no, it's going to be ~FANTASTIC~!]

What, I'm not allowed to let my minions have their say? I mean, if you'd prefer me to some kind of tyrannical overlord, I can't say I'd complain.
hairflyingheartpounding: (Oh boy...)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-19 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...This was a bad idea.
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ cheery)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-20 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I don't come up with bad ideas, but I'm not above bribing you with ice cream, if it'll help.
hairflyingheartpounding: (I'm not afraid of you)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-20 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
No.

I'm sorry, I just... I can't do this.
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ (unsure))

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-20 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Not even with a mask and codename?
hairflyingheartpounding: (Mother...)

[personal profile] hairflyingheartpounding 2012-03-20 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She's quiet for a long time.]

Why else should I do it?
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ mask: yes i am a genius)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-20 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Because you can distribute your half of the cash from the wealthy and stupid, to the poor and needy. [and probably stupid as well.]

[BUT LOOK AT THIS COOL MASK HE'S GOT it's not stupid really]
number1: (ᵀᵃᵒ  ▪ mask: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE)

[personal profile] number1 2012-03-20 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
All right! Your codename is Number 5! My name is Number 1!

Remember that!

Oh, and take this. [holds out a small version of his own mask]
