[Day 46, late-afternoon]

[A gentleman in an expensive three piece suit picks up the dice eying the shrine thoughtfully. He lets out a breath blowing cigarillo smoke into the air as he picks up the dice to begin shaking them in his hand. He blows on them and tosses them into the indentation.]

A seven.

[oi_theoi]

[ appears! ]

So it is.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

It's certainly nice to have some way to keep entertained here. Would you mind if I returned for a game or two?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

Not at all. Games are my specialty, you could say.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

So any games at all? Games for children and games for adults as well?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

Yes, any and all games.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

I think I like you.

Your information says you can do cigarettes. Can you do cigarillos as well?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

That shouldn't be a problem.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

Excellent. While I enjoy a good cigarette, I prefer cigarillos and cigars. You can do brandy as well?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

[ thinks about that ]

I could manage that, as well.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

[thinking back over Agon's list]

A good supply of each should be covered by an immoral act, yes?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

That largely depends on the act.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

I'm pretty sure I can find something worthy. Willing to make a bet of it?

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

Of course.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[goldntriggers]

Then I'll see you in a day or so and see if I win this gamble.

Re: [Day 46, late-afternoon]

[oi_theoi]

Until then.

[ and with that, he disappears ]

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[goldntriggers]

Three.

[blows the dice and tosses them]

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[oi_theoi]

[ appears in enough time to watch how they land ]

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[goldntriggers]

[probably not a three]

Good morning.

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[oi_theoi]

[ not this time ]

Good morning.

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[goldntriggers]

I'm here to see if I can win our bet.

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[oi_theoi]

Let's hear it, then.

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[lights up a cigarillo]

I happened to run into a lovely woman yesterday morning. Pleasantly voluptuous and even more enjoyable to talk to. It was a delightful encounter with a promise of more physical pleasures to come before I learned she was the roommate of a person I knew from home.

[he pauses and shrugs]

The man she's with right now is the head of our family back home -- for me at least. He doesn't remember it here, thus he doesn't remember the time we worked together to get him there. He also doesn't remember that we have had sex numerous times, and I will not be telling him.

Anyway, after learning who she was, she and I ended up making out on their kitchen counter, which is where the man found us and watched while they talked because I refused to stop for him or relocate from where we were. We eventually convinced him to join in with us, making it a very nice menage a trois ending with us tangled together in their bed.

[considers again and shrugs]

Did you want details?

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[oi_theoi]

I wouldn't stop you, if you wished to share.

Re: [Day 48, morning]

[goldntriggers]

Details are worth more than the act, I think. Still interested?
