[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 1] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Iskandar Oh yeah, big time.[sr]They utterly wiped the floor with me. [k] ?1:You're in good spirits for someone who just got their ass kicked. [charaFace C 0] @Iskandar Heh, that's because I got to enjoy plenty of time on the razor's edge between success and defeat. That sort of thrill is well worth the money I lost to experience it. [k] ?2:Well that's a surprise. You seem like you'd be great at gambling. [charaFace C 0] @Iskandar Hm? Well, of course I can hold my own[sr]when it comes to games of chance. [k] @Iskandar I would never have become the King of Conquerors if it weren't for all those times I gambled my life and won. [k] ?! @Iskandar But, you can't win them all.[sr]Especially when it comes to gambling. [k] @Iskandar And for leisure pursuits like this where the worst thing one stands to lose is money, my usual inhibitions tend to go right out the window. [k] ?1:You really, really love entertainment, don't you? ?! @Iskandar Perhaps, but I'll admit I chose to stay in the game longer than I should have. Though part of that is because my opponent did an excellent job of stringing me along. [k] [charaFace C 1] @Iskandar They turned out to be a real beast.[sr]I guess today just wasn't my day.

[k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Iskandar To get the other players to lower their guard. They always make sure never to be caught in the cross fire. [k] [charaFace C 5] @Iskandar If they find themself becoming the center of attention, they'll keep flitting away until they can swoop in and reap the spoils of others' hard-fought battles. [k] [charaFace C 4] @Iskandar It may get results, but it's a sneaky, underhanded way to play, if you ask me. [k] ?1:That kind of tactic isn't your style, huh? ?! [charaFace C 0] @Iskandar I might not have much of a leg to stand on after losing so terribly, but it felt like I was playing a wall more than a person. [k] @Iskandar Still, I have to wonder if they actually enjoy winning with tactics like that. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Qin Shi Huang Hm? Oh, [%1].[sr]We did not know you were here too. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Qin Shi Huang This should be a perfect opportunity to show you what we are capable of when it comes to contests of...diplomacy. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 1] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash I'm still impressed by what a good poker player you turned out to be, Qin Shi Huang. I never would have guessed it. [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 3] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Qin Shi Huang Well, there was a time when numerous warlords competed for power, even in our Lostbelt. We must have spent hundreds of years practicing diplomatic negotiations without taking military measures. [k] [charaFace B 0] @Qin Shi Huang The only real difference with poker is that we merely need to read our opponents' expressions, as opposed to the state of their nations. [k] @Qin Shi Huang If we had known we could forego sending ambassadors and conducting ceremonies in favor of having all the nations' heads of state come together to try to obtain their fellow nations' coffers by pitting their wits against one another in this manner... [k] [charaFace B 1] @Qin Shi Huang ...we could have put an end to war long ago. [k] @Qin Shi Huang Viva the Las Vegas casino![sr]It is a truly wonderful system of diplomacy! [k] ?1:Huh? ?2:Um, I think you might have the wrong idea... ?! [charaFace B 3] @Qin Shi Huang And with all these heads of state competing for finances like this, we are bound to win thanks to our centuries of experience. Perhaps we should take this opportunity to rebuild our empire once we have bankrupted their nations. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 12] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash Um, I don't think any of the people playing here are heads of any nations... [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Iskandar Of course, this is Las Vegas.

Are you telling us these are not statesmen? That they are actually ordinary people? [k] @Qin Shi Huang That these people trading vast sums of money while going about dressed in ostentatious clothing are citizens? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 0] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Iskandar They sure are. They're all regular people dreaming of that one chip that'll turn their lives around.

[k] [charaFace B 4] @Qin Shi Huang We will admit, we did find it odd that these members of royalty seemed so lacking in regality... [k] @Qin Shi Huang ...but since no ordinary person could hope to compare to a Zhenren like ourself, we thought nothing more of it. [k] [charaFace B 5] @Qin Shi Huang We did also think it odd that these fellow rulers were wagering such small amounts... [k] @Qin Shi Huang ...but if those funds came from their personal property rather than their nation's coffers, that only makes this all the more inconceivable! [k] @Qin Shi Huang The amount of money these citizens lost in a single round would surely be enough to change the course of their lives!

[k] @Qin Shi Huang And you tell us that ordinary citizens are competing for such life-changing sums of money...for pleasure? [k] @Qin Shi Huang That these casinos blinded these normal people by dressing them up and treating them as royalty in order to drive them to bankruptcy?
