[Pretend this is dated later in the day...

A quiet, dry chuckle.]

Hmm. I thought there was an air of finality last night... but in this place, who knows?

Would anyone care to start a betting pool as to whether our disturbed nights will continue, hm?

Well that's one way to catch a girl's attention.

I'll bite. But how about we ... spice things up a little.

phaseshifts October 22 2011, 00:57:09 UTC

Is it? [Oh Eris, he likes you already.]

How would you think of doing that?

[Voice] theladydiscord October 22 2011, 01:23:32 UTC

Sweetie, someone like me doesn't have any use for money. Easy gain, and easy loss. Where's the fun in that?

But what if the game had higher stakes? Now you're talking.

Re: [Voice] phaseshifts October 22 2011, 01:48:04 UTC

Naturally... but what's your preference? And to whom do I owe the pleasure?

[Voice] theladydiscord October 22 2011, 03:04:39 UTC

You could say my real expertise, and what I'd rather bet is favors. Helping people get exactly what they want.

Though you can't split favors with other winners in the betting pool. Pity.

Call me Eris.

Re: [Voice] phaseshifts October 22 2011, 03:07:41 UTC

I can live with getting favors. Sometimes with giving them. Hmm, splitting would make it more complicated, but... maybe.

Tyki.

[Voice] theladydiscord October 23 2011, 18:46:04 UTC

Then you and I are two of a kind, Tyki.

I suppose if I lose, I'd just have to do favors for all the winners, won't I?

Re: [Voice] phaseshifts October 23 2011, 22:24:56 UTC

A generous offer. Though it seems we won't have too many playing.

[Voice] whoops theladydiscord October 29 2011, 01:08:41 UTC

It'll just make it more... personal. With just a few of us.

[Voice] /pets phaseshifts October 29 2011, 20:25:59 UTC

I can live with that.

[voice] argh sorry about that frankengambler October 23 2011, 10:19:29 UTC

[He's cutting in on Tyki's advice.]

How much can the favour be worth? There's a hell of a difference between picking up some smokes for someone and taking the fall for 'em.

[Kaiji sounds particularly bitter regarding that last possibility.]

[voice] <---- has no edit button. Feels your pain. Permission to know some things about kaiji? theladydiscord October 23 2011, 18:38:51 UTC

There is, isn't there?

[Mmm... She can hear it in his voice.]

But sweetie, just so you know, there is one very elegant solution for that...

[voice] GO FOR IT o/ frankengambler October 23 2011, 18:46:50 UTC

[The hairs on the back of his neck prickle. Something about this conversation's already making him feel uneasy- he doesn't like the sound of this solution.]

Oh? And what's that?

[voice] theladydiscord October 23 2011, 19:02:58 UTC

Don't be on the losing side.

[It's unspoken: You should know, shouldn't you?]

[voice] frankengambler October 23 2011, 19:22:06 UTC

Tch-! [Kaiji reigns in his reaction surprisingly quickly, swallowing down a "fuck you". If this were video, she would be able to see his face turn red with humilation and anger.

It leaks into his voice though, through his tightly gritted teeth.]

Yeah, thanks for those words of wisdom. I was all set to goddamn lose until you convinced me not to. [a deep breath to calm himself dowm] How're we gonna split it if it's a tie or whatever?

[voice] 1/2 theladydiscord October 23 2011, 19:34:36 UTC

[She hums a note, though whether its amusement, feigned apology, or just to herself, it's anyone's guess. She's taking note of his reaction. For future reference.]

It's no different from money. Your bet gets split up among the winners. Meaning if you lose, you'll be doing those favors for each. and every one. of them.

High risk. But that's the way it is with high stakes.
