And it was a harsh loss. She'd been so close - close enough that she dared to try again almost immediately after. It wasn't that she was drunk or anything. It was more that... she just really, really wanted to win. Even if it meant losing a thousand times before that. She slid over more money and, with a hum of consideration and a quiet "For the good karma!", flipped an extra set of coins in as well as tip for the poor girls handling the crowd of eager betters. The second loss had been even more painful to her poor greedy heart. Enough so that Eileen snapped out of her materialistic daze and actually stepped away from the booth for a moment to catch some air. Perhaps some ale, to clam down on that anger.

Oh, he won that hand! A wide smile crept across Emil’s face as some of the women meandered over and began to flirt with him. Always playing up the role of a gentleman, he smiled and indulged them, nodding here and there and chuckling at their advances. He prepared to play the next hand, feeling lucky.

"Well, as you already know, Endra's Wager is a big and well-endorsed company. It's quite difficult to set up in each region due to hugely varying laws regarding gambling. But, we do try to be as above the table as much as we can. In the recent years, our operation has really blown up since adventurers suddenly became more populous in the world." He answered, taking another sip as he conversed with Ashiore. It did mystify him a bit that she didn't ask for any ikemen service, though, it was a welcoming change from the horde of women who only bet in order to get weird and perhaps creepy services from him. "So who exactly are you and what do you do? It seems a bit strange for a woman so tuned into nature to be in a place like this. Though, I am being a little presumptuous." @Ashiore Evretto
_____Kaede had to admit it felt slightly good to win at something for once. Well something outside getting a girl, and without having to cheat her way to victory. Giving the girl a small amount of gold for her troubles before a slight wink and she carefully tossed the jar to her other hand and began to shake in this way. She could see how this sort of thing got people sucked into it, if not for already having two heavy things in her life she might fall into gambling issues also. _____Thankfully as she set down her lest bet and it's winnings for the next bet she knew, unless she got one of the three to triple wager she was going to call this a night. There was to many girls to hit on, drinks to chug down, and above all else, a queen to try and find in hopes of offering to be her guard or just a member of her troops until she can prove her worth. Drawing the coin out with closed eyes, tapping to her forehead and slowly checking for the results. Betting: 200g Tipping: 15g Thrown die: 12 1 times played
"ALL IN!" She wasn't the first, and hopefully not the last. "A true hero goes either home big or dies trying! Which we all know I, the great hero Seigi, am too awesome for." Was she supposed to preach kids about gambling being bad? Pfffshaw. "LET'S DO THIS!" It was good that Seigi's entire wealth was about the limit that was allowed to bet anyways. Gambling was, after all, not about making money but rather the thrill and risk. And what was a dollar worth if one had thousands of them? Betting: 500g Thrown die: 9 1times played
A bit on the drunk side (not heavily, but enough), the cat waved her lance with a great big grin, using the back end of it to poke her pet fish that followed her despite the lack of water to rest in, swimming on land with the dryest throat she'd seen in years. "I told ya to drink with me lame-brain." If one were to ask, the cat would happily note that it was actually the lame fish's name. With a slight hint of alcohol on her lips, she put some money at the betting booth. "Gimme some more to get me more booze. I won me a round of beer, I won't lose me any gold at a time like this. If I win, I can get me some shiny armor and beat up goblins better than any o'er kit ever could." Betting: 50g Thrown die: 68 1 times played
Part-timer Vivian the Bunny Girl Walking smooth as silk, the female bobbed up and down in a sultry looking bunny suit. A black velvet body, a white puffy cotton tail and two long black ears as she made her way to the gamblers of the booth. Red lips curved into a seductive smile as she leaned into the patrons. @Lady Briar , Vivian moved towards the cute little cat girl. Puckering her lips and kissing her gently on the cheek. "Great job!...at losing some money! Maybe you should bet more to win more!?" @Seigi , "Oh we got a big winner here everyone! Exploding with Gold Pieces all over the place! Well, aren't you Miss Lady Luck herself? Here ya go cutie! Enjoy your prize! Kiss Kiss @Kaede Hoshi "Thank you for the tip! It is most appreciated! We Bunny Girls work hard for our Nigerian Prince! Looks like you got a decent winning, wanna rub my tail for better luck next time?" @Emil Trevelyan "Wowies! Looks like you got a jackpot wager there, cutie! Maybe I should hang around you more often! Let me know if I can get you anything else." @Eileen Dover "Aww. Looks like you didn't score big. How about a kiss for good luck? We are not shy here, honey~" Kiss kiss @Zelrius "Oh boy, you stink of alcohol. You know gambling and drinking don't mix. Perhaps you should balance yourself out more? Gamble more! Drink less! You'll win a fortune I am sure!" @Comet "Uh-oh. No winnings this time. I heard the key to winning, is tipping! Good luck, girly!"
A smirk crossed his mouth at @Vivian Cruz 's words. His attention was quick as he looked her over, finding her attractive in a very…vegas way. The one time he had gone to Las Vegas after Senior year of high school had left a lasting impression on him, one that bespoke of not betting and conserving his money. Good thing this was just a game and there were no real ramifications to his egregious spending habits. Betting: 60g Thrown die: 62 3 times played
When the unusual woman with sultry red lips and a sweet smile and ears like a rabbit came to her, it was like her drunken fantasies were coming to life. The kiss on the cheek made her pout slightly, however. "Aw~ You missed me, pretty lady~ If I bet more and win, will I get an even better prize?" With a sly grin to @Vivian Cruz, the cat put a bit more money than last time, a hand lingering to try to ask for her own. If she won, she'd flirt more. If not... Well, she'd still probably flirt more. Why wouldn't she? She was drunk, and she damn well liked the ladies. "And if I win, I can get a bloody tank to take to battle~ A tank and a beautiful lady's lips are hard to resist, nyu know~" Betting: 60g Thrown die: 22 2 times played
Moonbooth The girls working the booths wandered about the floor with jars filled to the brim with gold, ready to dispense the winnings. All winnings up to this post have been paid out.
"Ha...haha... I AM RICH... VERY RICH.... SUPER DUPER RICH! BUT...." After having had some time to taste the wonders of this festival, Seigi was finally paid out! "I can become even richer! I, Seigi, the great hero. Can be the richest! Take it away from all you dirty capitalists! Capitalism, ho!" With that, the small girl was about to go full at it once again. Or at the very least the allowed amount she could. It was only half as fun as before though. Betting: 500g Thrown die: 2 2 times played
Moonbooth The manager has come and personally offered @Seigi the all-in option as wealthy patrons always get. "A special service, on the house," he smiled.
A familiar face during one of her binge drinking breaks made Briar want to take part in the betting once more. She jumped swiftly to the area with a growl from Seigi blaring how rich she already was- and then winning big. I can't lose to her. I can't afford that either, but who cares?

"Oh oho," Cain's eyes fluttered at the drunk's stupid luck. "It appears that the karma of your justice is going all the way back to you, eh, @Seigi ?" His eyes glowed dangerously as he leaned in. "Both Lames and I have done it. How bout you join in on the Carbuncle tradition of bombastic bravery and take a plunge, Sunset Sage of Seven Strikes?"
"YOU!" It was HIM. The devil in disguise. The taker of the poor. The abuser of the addicted. Seigi's brain was telling her no, alas, her brain was too intoxicated to function properly. And even if... "THAT'S HOW YOU GAMBLE, BABY! LET'S GO! I'LL TAKE YOU ON THE ENTIRE NIGHT." It was make or break. Betting: 2065g Thrown die: 6 3 times played
