Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead...

I'm not sure if I like that saying or not, but it seems to be true.

[Oddly enough, someone isn't nearly as chatty as she usually is.]

Would anyone like to play some mahjong?

Someone's feeling grim today.

[wellsuited]

...I bet you're pretty good at mahjong.

[heresygrenade]

I'm not playing mahjong with you.

[wellsuited]

Not even...

Not even for double or nothing on the interest?

[onetoignite]

That's just why I don't keep secrets for people.

[Private]

You all right? It sounds like you haven't even had eight cups of coffee today.

[wellsuited]

Well, it's part of my job.

It's supposed to be part of my job.

Private

Coffee's expensive here. And I talk too much.

But mostly it's just too expensive.

[onetoignite]

Er... and, who's in charge of hiring for you guys?

[Private]

And here I thought you were rolling in ivory. Silly me.

Said something you shouldn't have again, didn't you?

[wellsuited]

Hey! I'm more than qualified for my job! ...In most areas.

[Private]

I was! But then I quit the casino and that place I bought needed more work than I thought and he keeps raising my interest.

[Silence.

It's brief.]

How'd you guess?

[innerdiscofrog]

Sorry, not much of a mahjong player.

Not sure if I like that saying either, now you mention it.

[wellsuited]

Well, I'm opening a place soon that can help you learn to be a better player.

It's kind of creepy. And sad. And creepy.

[innerdiscofrog]

You don't say. I guess I've got nothing better to do...I mean, aside from the usual stuff we all have to deal with.

Never heard it before. From your place?...wherever that is.

[wellsuited]

Do you have a job to go to?

I'm not sure where it's from. I read it in a book at the library and it sort of...stuck with me, I guess.

[i_love_squats]

Awww, c' mon! Not everyone has a big mouth. You Turks are just thick with secrets, after all.

[wellsuited]

Believe it or not, sometimes even Turks can slip.

You'd probably come closer to 'believing' than 'not' though.

Oh, Zack, you don't know Elena at all, do you?

[i_love_squats]

Well, Turks are only human, and everyone makes mistakes. Still, you guys tend to be the "My Lips Are Sealed" type, I've noticed.

LMAO. he has sealed her lips by making her speechless!

[wellsuited]

You...

You know I'm a Turk, right?

[Audio]

[cop_for_one_day]

It's true, all right.

What's mahjong?

[Audio]

[wellsuited]

Is it a saying from where you're from?

Oh, it's a game that you play with these colorful little tiles. I learned it since arriving here.

[Audio]

[cop_for_one_day]

Not that I've heard of. But I don't know all the sayings in the world, so...

Oh. Strategy?

[Audio]

[wellsuited]

Yeah, it requires a lot of that. But people who are good at it make it look easy!
