A Warm Welcome, part 2
#3 of CASINO NIGHTS
The influences for the characters are more unusual then one might expect. In the case of Xander, I just wanted to a create a likable male lead character. I decided to make him a wolf so that he'd have a degree of physical presence. But he can also be calm and charming as well.
In Rick's case, I didn't have anything specific in mind. I made him a coyote because I wanted him to be a canine like Xander- except that he'd be smaller in stature and strength. He also sounds a bit like Christopher Walken in my head.

CASINO NIGHTS
"A Warm Welcome, Part 2"
.o.o.o.
Xander felt himself getting hard again as he looked at rabbit in front of him with her back facing him. She was glancing over her shoulder and lifting up her bottom, giving him a good view of her dripping pink slit.
He placed his hands on her hips and started by simply pressing the tip of his member against her slick folds. He could see her shiver and look back over at him. He nodded and slowly began to slide his cock into her- much to the rabbit's delight as her the outer lips of her pussy parted for his hard shaft.
Ursa made a pleased little gasp as his wolfhood slid all the way into her, filling her completely. She gasped as he began to pull out of her and then slide back in. The motion was fluid and quick as she was very wet by this point. Xander eventually found his pace and began a slow, rhythmic thrust into her- pumping his dick in and out. She moaned and gripped the table as he continued to thrust into her.
"Oh god..." The rabbit moaned and leaned forward, pressing her large round breasts against the smooth surface of the table. She could hear him panting above her when he leaned down over her and growled faintly.
Ursa moaned in unison with each thrusts into her. Every time he pushed deep into her, she cried out happily. "Oh wow!" she exclaimed. "Don't hold back! Fuck me- harder!" She cried out noisily.
The wolf grinned and obliged her. He gripped her hips and drove into her slick passage as hard as he could, causing Ursa to arch her back. "You're so damned tight." He spoke between groans of pleasure as he continued pumping into her. His stiff cock glistening with there combined juices.
Xander was overwhelmed. His member was enveloped in her slick warm passage and gripped him tightly. He groaned as she bucked her hips against him. He was now atop her and grazed his sharp teeth along her collarbone and shoulder. The rabbit moaned at the sensation of his sharp teeth brushing against her delicate neck.
The wolf's thrusts became harder and faster and she began moaning in unison with their movements. Ursa cried as he thrust into her, her face flushed and her mouth open slightly as she panted. Xander growled deeper as he felt his orgasm approaching. He felt a shiver run through him and made a few more thrusts before burying himself completely inside her slick folds.
Ursa screamed in ecstasy as her tight passage clamped down around his hard shaft and she came. She could feel the wolf inside her as his cock pulsed and shot his seed into her. They both gasped for air, trying to catching their breaths. Xander hovered over her, panting for breath as she sighed happily under him.
After a while, he finally felt himself began to grow slack and he was able to pull out of her, making a liquid sound as he slid out of her.
Ursa turned around and smiled at him. She was flushed and beads of sweat rested on her body. Her lush blond hair was now mussed and hung around her face. "So, feel better now?" She asked, holding up her arms and stretching- the motion causing her large breast to jiggle slightly.
He smiled at the question and managed a faint laugh. "Yeah... actually I do feel a lot better." He replied, reaching down to pick up his Speedo and slip it back on. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked over in time to see Ursa slipping her little skimpy pink robe back on.
"Hey... where are you going?" He asked in confusion. "I thought you needed to use the spa?"
She smiled at him and winked. "Well... all my stress seems to be gone now as well." She replied cheekily. She paused and a thoughtful expression passed over her face. "I'd better get going..." She stopped and leaned over to give him a quick kiss.
She stepped back, binding up the tie around her waist. "But if you're ever feeling stressed- you know how to find me." She said in a devious tone as she walked over to the door and it slid open. She paused and looked back over her shoulder at him. "Oh yeah... send me a copy when you get a chance, I'll put it in my collection."
Xander sat on the table in utter confusion. "Hey... um what do you mean 'send you a copy'?" He exclaimed, snatching up his robe and rushing over to the door.
However, by the time he got to the door, Ursa was no where to be seen. "What the hell...?" He thought out loud and then smiled. "It's like she just vanished into thin air..." He wondered to himself. "I guess she's a magician as well." He added with a smile.
As weird as it all seemed, he'd gotten blown by a gorgeous female then got to have sex with her. He was a bit confused but now that he thought about it... all in all, things were pretty good.
He put his robe back on and headed for the elevator. He was feeling very relaxed now, but he still had a lot of things to think about. And it seemed that there were a found a mysteries aboard the Nirvana that still needed to be settled.
.o.o.o.
Xander stepped into the commissary and looked around. He walked over to a machine built into the wall and pressed a series of buttons on it. After a moment, a hatch opened up and he removed a sleek-looking cup from it.
He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of brown cargo pants. His communicator was clipped onto his belt and a few other things were in his pockets.
He sighed as he sipped the hot coffee from it. It was amusing to him that so many things that the writers in those old ' science-fiction' shows had predicted were now real. One example being the fresh cup of coffee that the machine in the wall had produced for him.
"...'Replomat' indeed." He thought to himself as he made his way further into the eating hall and glanced around. He scanned the area, smiling when he saw a familiar lone figure sitting quietly at one of the tables.
Regina was sitting at a small round table stirring a rather festive looking drink- complete with a funny straw and a little umbrella. She half-heatedly looked up as Xander appeared before her and sat down in the other seat across from her. The wolf noted that she still seemed sluggish and dazed.
"The stations ambient temperature is too cold... No good for my kind..." She grumbled as she looked at him. Her sleek green skin picked up the light in the room, highlighting her slender nose and cheekbones. Her thick black dreadlocks were held back by a red headband.
Xander smiled. "It makes sense, your kind prefers warm temperatures don't you?" He asked. He noted that she was wearing a red blouse with and a black skirt, along with knee-high black boots. (She looked kind of pretty in her own strange way and he wondered if she was dressed up for something.)
She stared at him for a moment, the words eventually donning on her. "Yeah... Our body temp is prone to dropping pretty quickly- causing us to get kind of sluggish." She added, sipping the drink though the translucent pink crazy straw. "I probably seem pretty damned boring right now... but if things were warmer..." She sighed- almost wistfully.
He wondered what she was alluding to, but decided to not to press the issue "Actually, I'm enjoying your company regardless." Xander replied with a smile. "It's not every day I get to meet someone as exotic as you."
Regina paused and her cheeks flushed a faint dark green color as she considered what he'd just said. "What, me- you think I'm exotic? ...Really?" She asked in a bewildered tone. She watching as the wolf smiled and nodded back at her.
She smiled a little. "Thank you..." She started to say. "...Most people don't really even notice me or they find me pretty boring... you're the first one since Rex to really even try and talk to me." She added, glancing off to the side abruptly.
This peeked Xander's interest. He leaned in and looked directly at her. "You did know him, didn't you?" He asked her calmly.
Regina turned back face him and became silent for a moment. "Rex was..." She became solemn as she considered her words. "Rex was different, he wasn't like most males..." She began in cryptic tone. "Something about you... reminds me of him somehow..." She added at length.
Suddenly, Regina's communicator went off- making a beeping sound- and she became quite. She glanced down at it. "Um... there's a system fault in the environmental stabilizers in the lower levels." She explained before rising back to her feet.
The wolf was taken back by how quickly she slipped back into her old docile manner... He had seen something twinkle in her eyes there for a moment, but it was gone now.
Xander crossed his arms and sighed as he thought about what was going on. He also realized that he would have some time on his hands. The guests weren't in yet, and even then- his job only really required him to make sure the servers and automated surveillance systems were working.
Thankfully, the real bulk of the process was run by the A.I. on the station- the computer could detect unusual events or things going on that were out of the ordinary.
He got to his feet and left the dining hall. He almost bumped into a Raccoon in a white lab coat and wearing a black skirt and blouse.
She gasped and waved her hands. "Oh my goodness- I'm sorry." She added nervously as he helped her up. "I wasn't paying attention, are you alright?"
He smiled. "I'm fine, what about you... um Neela?" He asked, looking down at her name tag clipped onto the breast pocket of the lab coat.
"Neela Lang- I'm a senior computer technician in the programming department." She offered as blushed at the brief contact and straightened her skirt out. "I'm alright." She replied coolly. "You must be Xander Emerson?" She asked.
Xander nodded. "It would seem that my reputation precedes me." He remarked. She had very dark blue eyes and her hair was a strange silvery-brown color.
She smiled. "I don't suppose there's anyway I could make this up to you?" She asked. "I mean, I'm the chief programmer and I could get you information on about anything."
The wolf was taken back this. "Well... now that you mention it..."
.o.o.o.
The wolf watched as the raccoon checked through the computer records. Wire-frame glasses rested on her nose, in front of her 'masked' face. Neela smiled to herself as she worked.
"Why exactly do you want to know about him anyway?" She asked as she scanned over the data.
He flashed a toothy grin at her as she looked up at him from over her shoulder- her glasses picking up the light from the computer screen. "The profile for the guy that I replaced..." He replied calmly, looking over her shoulder. "...Basically anything about him."
She nodded. "Really, what's so important about him?" Neela asked as she typed on the digital keys on the interactive touch-pad.
Xander scratched his head. "Actually, that's what I'm trying to figure out." He replied. "There doesn't seem to be any public information on him- and anyone who knew him isn't saying anything." Xander explained.
The Wolf paused for a moment. "I haven't really pressed anyone for information yet, but I'd like to know why he would have left." Xander added.
Neela nodded. "Now that you mention it- I don't recall much about him leaving." She began. "He left only a little while after I started working here." She added. "It was a while back too, before all the renovations to the station began."
Xander leaned over her shoulder and regarded her. "Doesn't it seem odd to you that he'd just take leave a job like this- just take off like that?"
The raccoon flushed at how close they were, but nodded. "Yeah... it is kind of weird now that you mention it, it's almost like..."
She paused and glared at the screen. "What the hell?" She remarked.
"What's wrong?" Xander asked, trying to understand what was on the screen.
"Someone's removed his profile and the related information..." She paused. "...Like where he went and what he did." She offered in explanation. "They've also deleted his personnel and evaluation records too."
Xander frowned. "What the hell is going on here?" He remarked. "...Is there anything you can do?" He asked, turning to look her in the eyes.
Neela blushed but managed a smile back at him. "Well... depending on the extent of the purging... there still might be some residual data to work with." She offered. "I could try and reconstruct some it from the data I can retrieve from the systems long-term records, but..."
She smiled at him. "But that would be a lot of work and you'd owe ME a favor then." She explained. "I can get started immediately... but you'll owe me big time."
A bead of sweat ran down the side of Xander's head as he smiled and nodded. "Um sure, it's a deal." He replied.
Neela smiled brightly at him. She took off her glassed and flashed her dark blue eyes at him. "I'll hold you to that."
(- End of Episode 3 -)
.o.o.o.
I hope you guys enjoyed reading this chapter. The reason for splitting the story into different arcs was a result of having to start an ongoing story with two chapters. This series was intended to be more fast-paced and be updated more often. By breaking up the chapters, I was able to get more out of them and tell the story much better.
