ORCA WINGS
A feat of alien architecture, an amazing example of teamwork and ingenuity. Not to mention, an amazing place to waste all your money. Unlike the other ground bound casinos Orca happens to be one with the air. Shaped like a classic UFO from the fifties, and covered in neon lights, and multi-colored glass, this casino hovers hundreds of feet above the ground, and occasionally goes outside the dome surrounding Touchdown City. In the daytime it is simply a silver disc hovering above, and one can occasionally make out passengers along its top rail. At night however it comes to life. Inside one finds a zero-gravity zone where everything from poker games, to drinks floats in the air. The interior is sleek and contemporary, and almost all silver. The lights blink in multi-colored strobes, and highlight those around them. Each machine has some kind of tether to hold yourself down to.
Slot machines dominate the north part of the disc, card games the south, virtual competitions the east, and rooms the west. You don’t only win money here, you can also win companionship, clothes, and brand new cars. Occasionally you also can acquire gift-certificates, and extremely valuable items.
How can you get a ride on this other-worldly ship? Simple. You wait at one of its docking points [there are four around the city] , just before noon, and it beams you up. Other passengers can be let off twice a day, everyday.
Who owns this little shin-dig? An aspiring Vishnu-choroid half-breed by the name of Orca.
