>High Adrenaline. The world gets clearer when you’re risking it all. Distractions fade away, your eyes sharpen, you feel more… whole. Even if you didn’t have a reason to come to Neo Battle City, you probably would have come eventually anyway. There’s nowhere else you can get stakes as high as these… legally, anyway.
>Deja Vu. Sometimes you get caught up in memories of past games. A wonderful way to relax, but it does make it hard to keep those memories separate from what you’re playing at the moment. Luckily, the Shadow Tome does provide some ways of keeping things fresh… at certain expenses.
>Help a gamer out
The sailor is mumbling under his breath, staring intently at his choices and hovering between a couple of them, so it’s a pretty easy matter to sidle up beside him and take a look yourself. The one benefit of having no shoes right now, you suppose. He drops his finger for a moment and sighs, and that’s when you take your chance.
Your old master once told you, the Heart of the Cards isn’t just about believing in the cards, or the dice, or the elaborate mechanism of Mousetrap, or whatever it is that you’re relying on. You can believe that you’ll succeed all you want, but you first have to make that chance to succeed possible yourself, and then take it. He then proceeded to gamble you shirtless (metaphorically) in craps, before revealing that he had loaded the dice. You learned a couple of important lessons that day.
You know nothing about the game he’s playing, you know nothing about why he wants to get Dark Magician Girl, but you do know one thing, and it’s that he was only trying to choose between a few of the onscreen options. Before he realizes you’re there, you reach out and touch one of the options, with a small fanfare from the phone. Leaping away from the mysterious hand and turning to see you, he looks you up and down for a second before leaping away a second time in a row, past the stairwell, sputtering at both his phone and the mysterious stranger with a very nice watch in front of him. The phone finishes its fanfare with a tiny crescendo, before announcing the pick.
“Lemon Magician Girl!~”
“Oh, man, that’s a pretty good one too, though not as good as…” You take this momentary distraction to slip up the stairs as fast as possible, leaving him to his new character. Glancing behind you, the sailor is focused back on his phone, though his quick look up to your retreating form indicates that he seems content enough not chasing you even though he knows you’re there. One favor for another, in a sense… even though it could have gone much worse.
>Final Character Choice! Every good Gambler needs an alias. You left your real name behind years ago, after all.
