Right, exactly.

[She turns away from the mailbox, and just immediately looks at her own box again (empty, because she just checked it two minutes ago)... and forces herself to look away.]

... Maybe I should find something else to do. If I'm too idle, I'm never going to stop thinking about this... even though there's nothing more I can do right now.

I'd like that. How about...

[She thinks...]

Oh! You said you'd go to the casino with me before!

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Hehe. We can try!

[following along! she's immediately a little more cheerful.]

[She shakes her head, but looks wide-eyed and eager to learn.] No, never.

Slot machines are games of pure chance, right? ... What about roulette?

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
So one can bet strategically... choosing a high-risk, high-reward bet, or something "safer" with a lower payout... Is that correct?

Hmm... I wonder if there's an optimal way to bet? Mathematically?

I'm definitely not good enough with numbers to work it out, though...

[She runs over and gets some, cradling them all in her hands as she runs back to him. It feels like she's holding a treasure in her hands already!]

Okay, where to? Should we try the roulette?

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Okay... let's try one round of slots for good luck!

[Running over to look at the machines. What's the difference between them? Who knows. They're all very flashy and exciting. She picks one based purely on vibes.]

I just put some chips in and pull the lever, right?
mustbepurged: (pic#14551571)

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, let's try it!

[She puts in a few tokens, and pulls the lever three times!]
|BAR| |BAR| |BAR|

They all match!! That's really good, right!?

[She wins....... her initial bet back!]

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm... Okay, one more time!

[She says, after she said she'd do just one... oh well, here she goes!

pazu 🌝 estelle Roll: [20] Result: 20



huh!]

7️⃣ 7️⃣ 7️⃣

[The machine starts blinking and chiming obnoxiously while tokens pour out of it. Estelle stares in awe, not fully processing this. All 7s are supposed to be really hard to get, right?]

... I did it?

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes several long seconds for it to really sink in.]

I did it!! I won!

This doesn't usually happen, right? [She has to ask. She assumed as much, but now she's not sure?]
mustbepurged: (pic#15714679)

[personal profile] mustbepurged 2022-07-20 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
... Yes! Okay, let's try the roulette!

[time to lose it all!! she'll get these tokens scooped up into a few cups so they can be carried around.]

So I do it like this...?

[She puts a stack of chips on the black 20! 20 is her lucky number, maybe. The bets are in, and the wheel spins, bouncing the little ball until it lands...

pazu 🌝 estelle Roll: [19] Result: 19

... on the red 19 right next to it. The chips are taken away.]


That was really close!

[She says it like that counts for anything.]
