perfectmatch | week three

Aventurine and Poppy are taken to a casino. The same casino Aventurine went to last week!

Highlights

The staff will remember Aventurine.
They have to dress up for this.
They will be given 5,000 credits / cash worth of chips once again to start.

[ Oh, he sure believes they remember him...hey guys, he's here to wreck the House again. Maybe he should let Poppy take the lead, though...that'd be entertaining, for certain. ]

So, how about you call the shots today? Choose the game that speaks to you the most, and I'll tag along, your humble and beautiful arm candy.

[ He should not let Poppy take the lead. He also should not have suggested being her arm candy, because that immediately has her perking right up, looping her arm in his to drag him along. ]

Well, say no more. [ She has a lot of confidence for somebody who's about to get cooked. ] I bet we can leave with more than we started with!

[ They probably can't, but it's time to stroll through and peruse the games...

Also she is dressed nice, actually. Though she'll probably get annoyed and undo the back of the dress at some point. Also her clutch is full of candy, just like in canon. ]

[ This is perfect, actually; he took the lead last time he was here with Verso, so the House is likely assuming he will again. Letting Poppy call the shots might disarm them, and then he can swoop in and win them the jackpot at the last moment...

...Or he can just let her run wild and chaotic and free and see what happens. Honestly, that sounds just as fun. ]

You're looking quite sharp today, by the way, Miss Poppy.

[ He's likewise dressed the part, spared from wearing pirate attire this time. ]

[ She has very little mind for machinations at the moment, too taken in by the lights and the sounds and the way a hot guy is just letting her drag him around. It's pretty good.

Maybe at some point she'll remember that Aventurine is the one who's, like, actually really good at this. ]

Why, thank you. [ Taking a moment from looking around to grin at him, her eyes roving up and down his frame. ] So're you.

[ If only he had a boob window to boop... as it stands, she just playfully pokes him in the centre of his chest before resuming her game search. ]

Hmmm... Oh! How about blackjack! That'll be good for a warmup.

[ Just starts dragging Aventurine over to the nearest blackjack table, regardless of what he thinks. ]

[ The one time he isn't wearing something with a boob window...life isn't fair.

In any case, he offers no resistance to her suggestion, his eyes positively lighting up as they near the table instead. This is the perfect place to start - simple to understand, and to get a read for the kind of people playing tonight. It's ideal. ]

Excellent choice. You're a programmer, aren't you? I wonder if you're one to count cards.

[ Or maybe that's a little too much work for Miss Science here. ]

You know, I've never really tried before. But really, how hard could it be?

[ She sits down, continuing to be full of undeserved confidence, because this is not the math she is actually used to. She has not actually coded any casino games...

Anyway. They are dealt in! I found this it is telling me she got an eight and a king, while the dealer has a queen. ]

Oh, stand. Definitely stand.

[ Even the Blackjack CPU knows that Aventurine is the luck god's favorite, because he's dealt a seven and a four initially... ]

Oh, hit me.

[ He's dealt a 2 next, and then: ]

...Hit me.

[ He's dealt an eight, to total a perfect 21. Oh, they should have bet bigger...ah well! ]

[ Just gawks at Aventurine. ]

... You really do never lose, don't you...

[ Like his profile said... it was real...

A beat before her grin widens. ]

Okay, let's go again.

[ This is going to be more fun than she thought. Time for her to watch a master at work! ]
