No worries at missing a round, Rex. ^_^ Work sounds hellaciously busy D: Best of luck with it all today ;A; *hugs*
Okay, so... long post. I kind of had fun there.
With regards to the security guards, they have guns and... clubs? Batons, I guess? However, I want to clarify that the guns aren't lethal like traditional guns would be (otherwise overkill amirite). They work kind of like Trixie's and Tobi's guns did- they deal damage with various degrees of pain but not to the extent of piercing and being able to kill. Whilst Trixie's uzis are very weak (well, they were before getting super duper new ones from Tiberius!) and Tobi's shotgun was more powerful, these can be inbetween depending on the type of gun, i.e. machineguns = weaker but more rapidfire hitting, pistols medium, shotguns powerful but need reloading quick etc. Up to you guys. The lethal types of gun might come into play somewhere in the rp later, but I guess as an inreason why the guards here don't have them, well, it wouldn't do to accidently shoot and kill a noble, would it? XD Also, some of our characters are without weapons like Moira and Lisette (and others in dresses) so I don't want to put the pressure and pain on too much, even though there still are... a ridiculous amount of guards who are all well trained and pretty proficient fighters. And there's Lady Vasco (and possibly Dumont) and that dark horse Neil too. MUAHAHA.
Go wild, guys. Seriously, just let loose and rip. I have some ideas of what I might do, but the ball's in your court. Danni, Rex, do what you want with Heather and Mordie. c: Buns, with Vasco. Everyone with... well, all your characters. Let's go crazy 8D
And finally, I can post that video that shows the layout of the Grande Diamond's lobby! Hopefully this makes it easier for people to write to and visualise. If we can make sure to preface posts after castshots with character locations (like what floor they're on, etc) it should help to minimise some confusion. :) I'm always on board to answer questions and help though!
