Hello again, everyone. ♪

[Kubota's sounding cheerful. Maybe a little bit too cheerful, under the circumstances. After all, it's been about a week now, and despite having every intention of finding a way back since the moment he arrived, he's still stuck here. And he should be crawling the walls about it, like anyone might ( Read more... )

You would be better off not working at all.

[ YEAH, SORRY. mister paranoidpants has come to rain on your happy parade. ]

voice wordsoul January 23 2010, 19:48:27 UTC

[OH, well that's ominous.]

The pay's that bad?

voice excarnates January 23 2010, 20:04:34 UTC

It is possible to survive without it.

[ don't feed the fascist machine. ]

voice wordsoul January 23 2010, 20:17:21 UTC

[Well.

For however blunt his answer his, his tone is still friendly enough. Because maybe this person isn't from a world like his, and maybe he's used to something simpler. ] It's quite difficult to go without money, though.

My day's been pretty decent. How about yours, Kubota?

[a light pause]

I don't know much about casino pay, but you could ask Elena about that.

[ voice ] wordsoul January 23 2010, 20:17:00 UTC

Elena, then. I'll look out for her.

[ He's about to say more when he drops the lighter he's been fidgeting with, and for a while all one can hear is a soft, derpy "hmm" and the sound of him groping around the floor to find it. And by the sound of it, it's probably bounced off under something. ]

... I'm glad to hear it, Kaien-san.

I'm the same as always.

[ voice ] heartbetween January 23 2010, 20:47:16 UTC

[a soft chuckle at the sound of his dropping something and searching for it]

Same as always? Hopefully that's a good thing, right?

[ voice ] wordsoul January 23 2010, 21:08:47 UTC

[Theeere it is. And now he's a little bit startled by how dusty it is under the bed. No wonder it's felt stuffy.]

Yeah, it's probably a good thing. As always. [He's definitely smiling.]

Would it be a faux pas to ask if you work, at the moment?

Another one of those mahjong players. Maybe I should ask you for tips so I can take down Elena. She's the resident Queen of the game in here, it seems like.

wordsoul January 23 2010, 23:25:00 UTC

I know one or two things.

Aa, is she? That's more incentive to say hello.

i_love_squats January 23 2010, 23:35:03 UTC

If you've got time, mind giving me a few pointers? Or, letting me watch you and her duke it out?

How are you getting settled in, anyway?

wordsoul January 24 2010, 01:15:56 UTC

[Well, while he's here for the duration, he's not about to refuse opportunities. Especially if those opportunities involve Mahjong.]

... I wouldn't mind seeing how you play. Next time you have a game, I can sit in and advise you.

[Settling in. He takes a second or two to respond, but his tone is as light as ever.]

Okay. I'm getting more familiar with it.

Casino? I didn't know there was a Casion here.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

If you find a set of stairs and take them down, you can't miss it.

chainbell January 24 2010, 01:21:31 UTC

Thanks! Been lookin' for some entertainment.

Name's Karako. Game Fowl is my stage name.

You might want to talk to Elena about that, stranger. I hear she's worked at the casino before and remembers which machines are the luckiest.

[Audio] wordsoul January 24 2010, 04:11:11 UTC

I'll certainly be asking after her. Thanks for the help.
