[ The video shows just a table and a close up of a small bowl and three six-sided dice. Tyr talks from behind the device. ]

I realised a while ago that most people here don't know how to play chinchirorin. I'm not sure if it's only popular in my world, but it's my favourite game, so...

I could definitely beat a silly human at that!

[ Tyr doesn't even know what Terezi is, but it feels rude to ask. Or say that. ]

Don't get so cocky; you haven't even tried me yet.

[She giggles, tilting her head coyly.]

Then let me try you!

[ Grinning! ]

All right. You choose the place and the starting bet and I'll see you there.

The gardens in Xanadu! I still don't understand this stupid currency, [Here, she makes a face.] so you choose.

I'll see you there. [ He shuffles a bit as he gets up, shoving the bowl to the crook of his arm. ] And I can explain how the currency works; it's actually not that complicated.

Okaaay! Prepare yourself! [She flashes a devious grin and shuts down the feed.]

[ Tyr thinks he likes his fellow citizens more now.

Ladeda, he goes over to Xanadu and wanders around until he spots her. Thankfully she stands out. And that means he can't help but look at her for a second before holding up the bowl. ]

You at least brought your wallet anyway, right?

[She grins, leaning on her cane.]

Maaaaybe!

[ Imitating her tone. ] Maaaybe, huh? Hm...

[She giggles. This guy might be interesting!]

So! What are we waiting for?

You to tell me if you want to play with or without money. [ He plops himself down on the ground where he's standing. Can't play while standing! ] In case I have to explain the currency to you.

[4llth3just1c3]

[She plops down in front of him.]

Explain the currency anyway!

action;

[stargathering]

All right--

[ He pulls out his wallet and a few coins. He'll stack them by value as he explains. ] The lowest-valued coins are red, and if you understand the order of the colours of the rainbow, the coins increase in value until you get to the indigo coins, which are worth about five-thousand times as much as red coins.

... Now, you have to accept that the deities hate us and chose to create the most annoying form of currency possible. Each coin is worth either twice or five-times as much as the coin below it except for oranges, which are worth ten reds. Yellows are worth five oranges, greens are worth two yellows, blues are worth five greens, violets are worth two blues, and five violets are worth one indigo.

I don't know if your world uses potch, but you can think of a red being worth about a hundred potch.
