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.

...

That's true.

[She leans her elbows on the side of the machine a little, careful not to put too much pressure on it as to actually move it this time.]

Guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Or maybe I'm just hoping we won't actually be here that long and we'll figure somethin' out before then. I dunno.

...Ooooh, neat! A buncha balls!

[carbide]

[Oh good, a change of topic.]

It's a reward for clearing one of the challenges.

[doublelammy]

But doesn't that make it harder to play?

[carbide]

It's harder to track them all, but if one of them falls I can keep playing with the others.

[doublelammy]

Ooooh, okay. N' then when you're back down to the one it's just like before, right?

[carbide]

Right.

[Click clack bing bing...]

You're an interesting person.

[doublelammy]

"Interesting," huh?

Ehehe. Is that a good thing, or is that just your way of saying... ah, what is it Bakky called me. "Freaking annoying?"

[She plainly doesn't care either way, given how she's grinning.]

[carbide]

You're smarter than you appear.

[Olympia cannot confirm or deny "freaking annoying."]

[doublelammy]

Good way to be underestimated, innit?

[Rude.]

[carbide]

If that's your goal.

[One of the balls falls directly between the flippers.]

[doublelammy]

I mean, at least kinda. Sure, there's tight spaces n' all? But other than that, there's not much point in makin' me pint-size like this if they didn't want people to just ignore me as bein' just some kid.
