06 Magic

Sorry for not writing in a few days- I've been preoccupied moving into my new living space. That's right, I finally got a job as an Adventurer. It's about time too, because I really hadn't been doing a good job at the Bakery. Now if only I can figure out what I have to do in my new job, I'll be all set.

My lesson with Lezard didn't go as badly as I

Adventurer, huh? Nice. I'm technically and adventurer too, but most of the time I'm too busy with my day job to do much exploring.

Though. Vegas is as good as any spot to start, yeah?

You know, that I come to think of it -- the handwriting's not ringing any bells...you kind of new?

[silver_antlers]

I've been here for about a month I think... but I don't think I've ever met you. I'm Prongs, nice to meet you.

Vegas seems like a docile but familiar place. And even though I have a job, I stil don't have any money to play games. Have you been looking around?

[child_proteus]

Man, a month? Have we seriously been gone for that long? I officially apologize for not chiming in sooner. I've been kind of distracted.

Nice to "meet" you there, Prongs -- the name's Throne. Feel free to make some kind of toilet joke -- everybody's entitled to one on account cause I'm just generous like that.

You know, for the record, I seriously think in the history of ever you are the first guy to call a place like Vegas "docile". Makes me wonder what kind of technicolor neon trip wherever you came from is like. Must be zany, man.

If lack of funds is keeping you from trying some of the games, let me know and I can spot you some. Or would that be too awkward and strange since we just met?

[silver_antlers]

To be completely honest, I wasn't even thinking of toilet jokes until you said it. I'll be savin' that one, thanks!

I think Vegas is calmer than the 'Sphere was when the zombies were running around. Sure it's loud and flashy, but at least nothing is trying to kill you.

Ah, I think I'll pass on the money. Just wouldn't feel right to borrow someone's money only to gamble it away... but thanks for the offer.

Dammit, I have to stop being pre-emptive like that... Okay, okay, fair enough. But it'd better be a really cheesy one, man, or I'll lodge a formal complaint.

You know, it's funny because I've seen some pretty crazy stuff this place has dished out. Zombies, yeah. Oversized pinball machines, complete with big round rolling metal pinball of doom. Hurricanes and earthquakes and all of that jazz. But like, none of it seems to get me nearly riled up as this place. Does that mean I've got messed up priorities? Or maybe the Sphere's made me old and jaded and the only want to break on through to the other side is with a little bit of Elvis.

Far enough, dude, but if the slots start calling your name, you let me know and I'll look you up, yeah? It wouldn't be Vegas if you ended up blowing at least a little cash. And I'm willing to take one for the team. Not like paintball hasn't set me up for a long comfortable retirement already.
