[nodding...]

Okay. Where are we headed next?

[skyagain]

Roulette. You pick a number or a color and if it lands on that, you win.

[ he gestures at it. there's also like, rows or whatever. pretend they can explain roulette. i want rupert to continue to have terrible luck ]

This one's a little harder to rig.

[agleam]

[unfortunately i rolled a sixteen for this one so he'll probably get it on the second or third try.]

How about ten?

[skyagain]

Sure, why not? [ he's truly making rupert gamble so he doesn't have to. he's being terrible. he makes up for it by clasping his shoulder ] Not like we're actually losing anything.

[agleam]

[it's fine he feels cool while doing this even though he will never be cool at all]

So now we just wait to see where it goes?

[skyagain]

Yep. It's all wait and see games. S'why people drink so much here. That, and to forget about how much money they're losing.

[ he has never been to a casino. this is just what he assumes.

he thinks rupert looks 2% cool does that help ]

[agleam]

[2% is generous so yeah sure]

That's... depressing, but okay!

[waiting... waiting... and they once again lose during this first round.

[skyagain]

[ life is depressing? case in point: losing again ]

No go. Got a lucky number you haven't used?

[agleam]

Uh... Eighteen?

[that's just his age]

[skyagain]

[ i hate you ]

... You just picked your age? [ he sounds amused ]

[agleam]

[understandable have a nice day]

What, do you want to pick something else?

[skyagain]

Nope. Live with your choices if we lose again.

[ he doesn't sound serious. ]

[agleam]

...Wait a second, have you done anything since we got here?

[he doesn't sound offended but he's just now realizing this, so.]

[skyagain]

... Was wondering if you'd notice.

[ he sounds so amused. he was doing it on purpose because it was funny ]

[agleam]

Ohh, I get it... You're too scared you'll mess up... Well, don't worry, letting me handle it has been going really well so far.
