In With the Family, Rise to Power - Lucky Options

[fistandantilus4....]

Miriam smiles and nods. She helps Dante down from her lap and stands.

We'll be back Dante. We're goig to go take a dip. Dante simply nods and keeps playing.

Miriam leads Lucky up to her room, where she changes in to a black bikini, letting Lucky pick something out for her self (assuming she didn't bring her own suit).

[Lady Door]

(Lucky always brings her own suit...)

Following Miriam outside, Lucky is clad in her own dark blue sateen bikini. She smiles at the sight of the pool.
Now... this... this I could definitely do all day.

[fistandantilus4....]

Miriam swims out in to the warm water, going under for 15 feet before surfacing. she waives for Lucky to join her.

The water's delicious today. Come in.

[Lady Door]

Lucky dives in and joins Miriam in the deeper end. She comes up and takes a deep breath and slicks her hair back, revealing her oft hidden elven ears. She smiles at Miriam and treads in place.
It feels good to relax. I don't do it often.

[fistandantilus4....]

There will be plenty more later. Relax while you can , enjoy the good life. if you neveer enjoy it, then what's the point in having it? Miriam smiles and begins floating on her back.

[fistandantilus4....]

The next two days are very surreal for Lucky. She moves around the Kozlowski manor and grounds, at least ,where she is allowed. Occassionally a one made man or another wil ltell he r a certain area is off limits. It doesn't take long to find for example that any excursions in to the basement and the west third floor are completely forbidden. Lucky gets the impression that the men guarding them don't even know what they're guarding. There are plenty of men throughout the house that are supposedly made men, but seem more like hired security in suits.

Miriam spends a lot of time with Dante getting to know him better. She also spends a lot of time feeling out Lucky's personality, or pushing her in to darkened rooms. The entire expereince leaves Lucky feeling dirty, although sure that her place as Captain is now assured.

Erik Weissler's funeral is held on the second day of Lucky's stay. It's a very somber affair, with an undercurrent of rage. None of the reprisals have begun yet. On Miriam's order, they've been held until Eriks is put in the ground, making his last days about him, and not the Posse. The funeral is beautiful, with almost 200 people in attendant. Lucky is given a seat at the front. Unsuprising in the Big Easy, it's raining on the day of the funeral. It fits the mood. Everyone knows that tomorrow, the war will begin. There will be a lot more men put in the ground, but in the end, no one doubts that the Voodoo Posse will be wiped out.

Lucky arrives home in the morning alone. Miriam has insisted the Dante remain at least one more day. If Lucky is going to war after all, she won't be able to properly protect him. She's been charged with hunting down the members of the Voodoo Posse so that Oz may wipe them out.

Lucky - In the Clink

Harvey leads Lucky back to the individual holding cells. Another female officer follwos her in for questioning. The small all-white cell has a small window out in to the hall at head level. Harvey removes the cuff. The officer is holding a white jumpsuit.

Strip.

[Lady Door]

It's at moments like these that Lucky feels oddly grateful for her other life as Lucky Starr. She undresses with no qualms or shame, folding her clothes neatly and placing them on the table.
Turning, she places her hands on her hips and smiles, looking at Harvey expectantly.
Well now that that's out of the way... what do you want me to do now... Lieutenant. Lucky draws the words out seductively, then licks her bottom lip.

[fistandantilus4....]

Harvey rolls her eyes. Turn arond and face the wall. Hands on the wall, shoulder width apart and spread 'em.

[Lady Door]

Lucky does as she's told, casting a glance over her shoulder at Harvey.
Lieutentant Harvey... you little minx! Who knew prison could be this much fun?

[fistandantilus4....]

Harvey snorts. I've heard it all before Santangelo. Save it for your cell mate Bertha. Officer Tenya.

The officer steps forward and quickly and efficently searches Lucky.

Clean

Harvey snorts as if she doubts that. Get dressed Santangelo. She tosses her the white jumpsuit.

[Lady Door]

Lucky raises an eyebrow as she dresses. Bertha? Really. Well, this should be fun. Tell me, Lt., how long do you think it will take before your commendation comes down from on high? ... course you didn't really do much.. it was mostly all the A.D.A, but I'm sure they'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I'd vouch for you. Lucky winks at the Lt. as she finishes dressing.

[fistandantilus4....]

Harvey says nothing as Lucky dresses. They move her next in to procecssing where she is fingerprinted, and has her mugshot taken. Lucky of course takesthe time to fix her hair before the shot.

They move her through processing, taking care to check for lice, then submit her to an astral scan.

Roll Masking vs Astral Scan

[Lady Door]

Masking:

[ Spoiler ]

17 successes w/1 pt. Edge

[fistandantilus4....]

She's waived through the astral scan, and brought to her solitary holding cell.

You'll be here for a day or two, then moved to county until your day in court. Then it's off to federal. Enjoy your stay.

Harvey smiles as the officer closes the door.

[Lady Door]

Lucky raises an eyebrow and waves at Harvey through the bars.
I have a feeling that thrills in your life are few and far between... so I'll give you this one. Lucky winks. You're not bad looking, you know. You get bored... you know where to find me, kay sweetheart?
With that Lucky turns and takes a seat on the wooden bench running against the length of one wall. Lying back on it, she stares up at the ceiling... plotting.
The scan must not have turned up anything or I would be in a whole different kind of situation by now. Good. I'm going to be hurting soon... bliss, cigarettes... I knew I should have given them up when I had the chance. Shit. Time to see what they have available here.

[fistandantilus4....]

Lucky is transferred to the county lock up the next day. By now her frustrations at the lack of life's basic necessities (bliss, booze, cigarettes, etc) has already made her nerves a bit raw.

Apparently the NOPS are not taking any chances. They laod her in to an armored vehicle inside the station, with a trio of escort cars. The whole ordeal seems a bit over the top, but apparently, they really want to hold on to their new prisoner. Usually a county transfer takes a bit longer as well. Better conty jail than the federal prison though. That comes after the trial.

At least no one is gawking at her any more.

Taken in to county, Lucky is again searched thoroughly, and put into a cell. Like the station, this cell is sliding bars, at least a step up from a white room with a window. On the plus side, being a high profile prisoner, she's kept seperate from the general population. Meaning some unobserved time where she can try to convince a guard to give her a "goddamn cigarette now!"
