[Sound of the casino in the background.]

What's the point in being alive if it makes no difference again whether I'm undead or not?

[Something clacks onto the bar counter.]

Wish I hadn't asked for it. Tomorrow, when it's gone...

fuck.

I wish these turkeys would shut the hell up.

Undead?

Surely there is something better about being alive than there is about being... undead? Besides whatever it was that made you change your mind?

[thiefshonor]

There's no difference. I thought there was, but I was wrong, eh.

Why should I tell you that anyway, stranger?

You seem to be loving your present.

[smite_knight]

Truly...? That is... interesting.

You do not have to. I just wish everyone on the ship was as happy with their gift as I am with mine.

It is something I have wanted rather desperately.

[thiefshonor]

How were you talkin' to us all before?

[electronichound]

... Celeste.

[thiefshonor]

[The speaker crackles, but the transmission ends seconds later. No answer.]

[He wanders up and smiles.]

Hello. I'm... well, they call me Gambler. Have we met?

[thiefshonor]

[She turns around from her seat at the bar to look at him, offering a sad smile.]
Wontcha sit and drink with me?

[neverlucky7s]

Sure, I will. Say, gorgeous, you look really sad. Something bothering a sweet girl like you?

[He sits down beside her.]

[thiefshonor]

Yeah.

[She pours him a shot of vodka and slides it over.]

It's complicated, Gambler.

[sonotyourdog]

Its better than slipping in between life and death.

[thiefshonor]

Try it.

[sonotyourdog]

I would but I have a vampire not wanting to leave my side right now and I doubt my blood lacking body would get that far.

[thiefshonor]

I'm alive right now. Human. Not dead.

wink wink

[thiefshonor]

Heh. I'll have to keep you in mind for next time.
