"Oh my, now that is a good question. As you can surely guess already, most of the time it is pirate themed so that I and my crew can live our pirate live style of dancing, drinking and celebrating in the good old ways."
She explained, amused by the thought that alone produced.
"On other days, it is differently themed. Halloween for example. I also give a party when one of my crew marries. As an officially licensed captain, I have the right of the first dance of course. It is a lot of work to rebrand it then again, but luckily I have a very fine crew for that."

She would walk a few steps further then, back to the restrooms of the dancehall.
"Everything in these rooms is for fun. We have stripper poles, themed rooms, mud, oil, champagne fountains and so on and so on."

The Italian rolled her eyes when Domino stopped speaking and said, "Yeah, yeah. Mud, oil, champagne fountains, ice sculptures, chocolate hot tubs, so on and so forth." She snickered to herself and shook her head. "Yeah, seems like a roaring good time if you're into that sort of thing. Don't like people, don't like being around them."

Roni shrugged her shoulders and looked around again. "But hey, you seem like you got everything you need to make a crew happy. Can't imagine there's too much left of this tour, unless this thing doubles as a submarine or a space ship." She gave Drake a bit of a side-eye, almost expecting her to tell her that it does, in fact, do both of those things.

So, Roni did not like humans. Not that surprising after what she had learned about her in the last half hour.
"That would be nice. I mean a submarine. The rework of the keel and lower section would take months or even years though. But if I think about it, a submarine is probably more suited for someone with a misogynic disposition."
She had not really thought about such a measure up until now, but it could come handy if she was looking for a panic room or something.
"You could think that our little tour is over, but no! There is one room left that could become of importance for you. The place where my special match takes place."
She added with a giddy undertone in her voice.

Said and done, the Captain would approach the most modern security door which gilded with a lock in the shape of a skull for show. Pressing her palm against a screen and her eye against an artificial eye socket, the door would give space to the captain´s cabin, a very large room with bathroom at one end and the king size bed at the other site where the Pirate and Noblewoman match would take place if one was scheduled.
"I guess that you had the same thought as me when I saw that security system, hopefully no clever joker that has seen the movie Demolition Man has any funny ideas with that."

Roni Mancini snickered at Domino's musings over the submarine, but ignored it. She hadn't cared too much about the potential of a submarine, although Drake could probably afford it if she wanted.

Then, the captain became more excited, surprising Roni a bit. She frankly didn't know what to expect, because something that may have importance to her would more likely be the gym, or a wrestling ring, but they saw those already. It was Domino's location for a special match, so who freaking knew where that would end up.

As they got there, it was a higher tech security deal, which made Roni believe it was some kind of security command center, or some crazy pirate fight club.

Oh. It was her bedroom. Of course it was.

Roni rolled her eyes again behind Domino's back as she followed her inside and gave her a look when she mentioned Demolition Man. "Yeah, I don't think that one made it to Italy, or if it did I couldn't be assed to watch it." Mancini crossed her arms over her chest and glanced around at the bedroom. It was sure fancy, that was certain. She basically lived like a queen, which was something else that didn't surprise her.

"So, uh, this is certainly..." Roni trailed off, not sure how to even describe it. She almost hoped that Domino would finish her thought for her.

Domino grinned lightly, then she did her newest employee the favor of answering her nearly unasked question.
"My bedroom and the place where the *Pirate and Noblemowan* match takes place. It´s my home ground so to say. You may ask yourself why this may be of importance to you."
She basically answered a question she would pose to anyone showing her a room like that.
"Negotiations I consider top priority will happen here. Not that a job interview is not important, but there are other, even more important matters for me. Beside the security measures out there, I need a trustworthy guard here in front of the door who is not ashamed to search people in a direct, non-conformist way but stays professional while that happens."

That Roni did not know said movie was indeed a small relief for her, and she welcomed the chance to ramble a litlte bit about it while giving Roni the time to let her sentences sink in. It was old and probably a little bit trashy, but the safety method seemed nearly revolutionary for her.
"A shame, really. But if you do not know about the movie, I am little bit more in peace with my decision to install something like that."
The cut out eye of a prison director on a pencil, that was how the bad guy in said movie made his escape out of a cryogenic prison.

Roni continued to look around at the bedroom, stuffing her hands in her pocket as she examined it. She was glad that Domino had answered her question, because she certainly would have said something more crass about it if she hadn't. She spoke of a Pirate and Noblewoman match as if she freaking knew about it, but Mancini thought she would entertain Drake and just let her do her bragging.

She did look more interested when Domino discussed the reason this would be interesting to her. The purple-haired brawler thought on it, nodding. "So, what, you expect people to somehow sneak in and screw with you in your bedroom or something? I have no problem being a bouncer got anyone you want to meet, but should I be expecting people to try breaking in or something?" questioned Roni, giving the captain a sort of odd look.

"Nobody is going to break in, there is nothing of material value in this room compared to other, much more lucrative places on the Pelican. I expect people to bring items like mini cameras into my most private room when certain items are not secretly stored away. That also includes any filming crew from LAW, especially the filming crews to be precise. These people can be antsy."
She explained, her hand moving through the air as if she had been looking for words as she was unwilling to go into further details despite her generally highly informative disposition.

"I am not expecting an attack for my life here or something, just do a really precise search when strangers are invited to the room and I ask for your services. The object I want to have not filmed or touched by strangers is valuable only for a certain kind of people, paparazzi, so I don´t expect physical harm. "
Not that this would be easy anyway, the massive safe behind the portrait of her stern gazed supposed ancestor from the Royal Navy was state of the art. But a good old full body, no-nonsense search from a pro was hard to find and gave her a nice feeling of security.
"This will not be your primarily concern however, just whenever I call you for it. Do you have any other questions still open now?"

The Hitwoman looked incredulous at the explanation. Apparently the chick wanted her privacy. The rich, eccentric types sometimes did. She got that. "Hey, you pay me and I'll do full cavity on them for you if you want. What you say goes, Drake," stated Roni simply. It would be an easy paycheck in those cases at least.

Mancini continued to glance around the bedroom in thought after she was asked if she had any other questions. After a few moments of contemplation, she looked back to the captain and smirked, shaking her head. "No, I'm good."

"Very good. Then welcome aboard, sailor!"
Domino answered with an approving nod and a pad on the shoulder of her new employee as if she had enlisted or promoted a new officer for the ship, growing back more and more in her pirate captain fantasy after all that business stuff. Of course she was a little eccentric and weird, but her money was good and the duty was pretty light for the sum she was offering so people had to live with it.

Leading Roni out of the room, she would make her way back to the floor where she would keep standing in front of a large tapestry, a piece of art with the real Pelican ship as a motive. Pulling an old fashioned rope, the carpet would roll up and give sight to an elevator which would open with a ships bell sound.
"For my elder or disabled guests. Despite how it looks, it is not a secret elevator or anything."
She added with a little smile before entering it.

Roni watched as Domino had welcomed her and patted her on the shoulder, glancing to the shoulder she was patted on and then back to Domino was a strange expression on her face and stated flatly. "Don't call me sailor." She was clearly not all about the pirate lifestyle.

She followed the captain and then looked at the hidden elevator and gave Drake a skeptical look. "Oh yeah? This doesn't lead us to
a panic room or some other crazy place?"
asked the Italian, clearly not even sure what to expect anymore. Nonetheless, she followed Domino into the elevator, a little bewildered by its existence.
