April 7th - Welcome Party

[cartesio]

Welcome Party

Though you've never seen the casino before, it is easy to find today. This is partly attributable to the music spilling from open doors right into the town. The people of Cartesio have made good on their announcement - doubtlessly, there is a party going on here.

Anyone entering will be confronted with a friendly citizen pulling them aside to inform them of their dress rental service. Though it is called 'rental' there is no actual fee to be paid. The townspeople have simply brought a collection of suits and cocktail dresses into the casino foyer and they are offering to lend them out for the occasion. A folding screen to get changed behind is provided as well.

Once you venture deeper into the casino, you'll find yourself in a surprisingly spacious room. Tables that might normally occupy the open space have been pushed to the wall and filled with various buffet foods. Though you might be tempted to spend your whole afternoon trying out the various local specialties, the rhythmic music from the speakers tries to lure you to the dancefloor. A few locals are already swinging their hips to the beat.

Though if you're simply looking for the main highlight of a casino, you won't have to look long either. Across from the buffet, you will find a wide variety of game machines. Pachinko, slot machines.... even a few odd-one-out games that look like they should rather belong in an arcade. Try your luck, try your skill! If you prove successful, an employee is waiting to hand out various fun goods to you.

There are quite a few townspeople in attendance on this party, but there is a silent understanding that you tourists are the VIPs here. Anywhere you go, any game you want to try, the citizens are quick to move aside for you and let you have the maximum amount of fun.

[A small frown.]

Don't just give up before you even try, man.

[relieable]

[he looks down for a moment. she doesn't know him, she doesn't know what kind of person he is. Osomatsu's not really a go-getter, at least not when it comes to work, or school]

It doesn't really matter, anyway. I'll probably never get the chance to go to college, unless I make enough money to pay for it on my own. But, by that time, why bother?

[robitussin]

Because it's...

[She pauses; it's hard for her to conceptualize the idea of somebody having no interest in something she holds incredibly dear.]

You really don't care about going?

[relieable]

[he didn't expect her to be so passionate about school, of all things]

I... don't know, actually. Maybe if I was your age, it'd be different.

[robitussin]

[A beat.]

If you did go, what would you have studied?

[relieable]

I don't even know... [he looks up, in thought. what are his interests? gambling? drinking? his brothers?] Maybe, like, something to do with food. Or animals.

[that's a stretch, but it's something]

[robitussin]

Yeah? You like to cook, or something?

[relieable]

I... don't know how to cook anything, really. But I love food.

[robitussin]

[She tilts her head.]

But you could learn, right? It probably takes, like, a ton less time than going to college, too.

[relieable]

Probably! [he scuffs his foot, looking down for a moment] Where do you even start with something like that, though?

[robitussin]

[She shrugs.]

I wouldn't really know. I've been on, like, a basic level for pretty much as long as I can remember, so I probably couldn't remember where I started if I tried. Isn't there a kitchen here, though?

[relieable]

There's the diner, and a tavern. And probably one in the casino. I guess maybe I could start by watching others.

[robitussin]

...You could ask someone to teach you, too. That's probably faster.

[relieable]

Well, yeah, but who's gonna wanna teach me? It's not like I can pay them for their time, or anything.

[robitussin]

[After a pause, she shrugs.]

There are a bunch of bleeding hearts here. I bet somebody would be willing.

[relieable]

[he pauses too, then grins because he's sort of amused. she likes helping in her own way, doesn't she?]

You're right... When I'm not worried about the whole killing situation, I'll look into it.

[robitussin]

[A soft huff, almost like a laugh.]

Yeah. That probably trumps how to saute beef or mince garlic the right way.

[relieable]

[oh, hey! a laugh! sort of]

It'd be great to learn how to make stuff like this, though. [he gestures to the buffet table]</small. Then, maybe, I could have my own parties.
