Davis came here to figure out what the story behind the casino was. Conquest had seen almost every variation of casino games, and he knew they could all be cheated somehow. But first thing's first. “So Nariko...” Davis leaned against a counter and brushed his hair back. “You look pretty good in that dealer's uniform.” “O-oh?” Nariko sighed. “You can't really mean that.” Her eyes lowered to the ground. “You're just being nice to me because you want something.” “Guilty as charged!” Davis chuckled and slapped his knee. “Now beautiful, care to tell me what's going on?” “Um.” the carnage sister trembled. “W-why are you flirting with me? You said you wanted something from me already, s-so naturally I'm going to assume that this is just another attempt to do the same thing.” “Yea?” Davis scratched his chest. “But you haven't figured out what that is yet, so let's keep going.” Perfection winked at the robot. “O-oh. Okay.” Nariko gestured towards a wheel. The fan in the back of her head was making her hair blow in front of her face. “Have you ever played wheel of fortune?” The wheel actually looked very similer to the one in the mentioned game show. It was large and colorful, but there were no prizes marked out on the wheel. Davis blinked. “Yea? You spin a wheel to determine your prize, then you guess a letter. You get the amount of money you rolled on the wheel multiplied by how many letters were in the phrase.” “Well.” Nariko hugged herself. “It's just a little different than that. But everyone places their chip on this giant wheel, essentially betting where they think it will stop. Then I spin the wheel once, and prizes are handed out depending on where it lands.” “Sounds a little childish for my tastes.” Davis laughed. “So about the other games?” “There aren't any.” Davis raised an eyebrow. “I'm pretty sure that's a black jack table you're standing behind.” “It's just for show.” she whimpered. “I don't have a deck of cards, and I don't even know how to play black jack.” The carnage sister tugged on her pigtails. “I-im sorry.” “It's okay baby! It's okay.” Perfection sighed. “I don't suppose it's possible to cash these in without playing the game is it?” “No, you really need to play the wheel game if you want a prize. W-why?” Davis started to walk away. “No reason hun Just...” Sure enough, the despicable damsel snatcher was dragging around his two newest trophies. Davis wasn't sure how much of his exchange the three of them saw. He could have pulled out that report and cut Daimyon down a peg then and there, but Davis really couldn't be bothered right now. “Yea, talk to you later Nariko.” “B-but you wanted something else?” The carnage sister started pulling at her hair. “I-I screwed up again, didn't I? Oh! I wonder what he wanted?” [@Ariamis][@Melo][@Mateotis] [hr] Davis was grumbling under his breath when he back tracked into the patient's quarters. What the hell was he doing? He couldn't keep moping around like this! “I can't keep letting myself get distracted by Daimyon!” “Oh?” Monokuma was standing before Perfection. “And here I thought it was all those lovely ladies that were getting you all fired up! I had no idea you were so passionate about the poet.” Davis growled. “The hell do you want?” “I just can't BEAR to see you like this! You and Mondatta were so ready to let me take your lives. That isn't natural is it? That can't be healthy!” Perfection waved his hand. “Begone! I've already grown tired of your games. I will destroy you, mark my words.” “Still mad about last night?” the bear sighed. “You know I tried to send a lot of girls down here just for you?” “Fuck off!” “But I see you're being beaten to the punch!” Killgood pointed at an elevator door. “So I'll let you get a head start with this one! It's Alice Masson. She's as cold as ice, She's willing to sacrifice our love!” The bear chuckled. “But she took a few rounds for the team, so maybe there are some cracks in that cool exterior, eh?” Perfection could hear one of the elevator doors in the hallway started to open up. “Don't screw it up this time Davis. I don't typically take pity on losers.” and with that, the bear disappeared. “The hell is going on?” Davis immediately bolted towards the elevator. He knew the bear wasn't a giving sort, so he naturally expected something horrible to be waiting for him. He didn't quite reach the elevator before the mentioned woman walked out in front of him. “What the?! Hey! You! Uhmm...” Davis folded his arms. “ Alice?” He gave the woman a sideways glance. “You look...Kinda young?” [@UnknownScarlet4] [hr] [center][img] https://68.media.tumblr.com/a967d487691c0f9eda8eee7d286fd655/tumblr_oogwwrXa6a1w6599so1_400.png[/img][/center] It was actually not very difficult to find good reading material for the children. There were tons of books for children based around animals and the like. Bliss was sure Caora would enjoy these books, if only for the illustrations. However, Bliss wanted to get something that Shaun would also enjoy. He was probably a little too mature for picture books. Perhaps if Bliss and the programmer took turns reading to Caora, he might find these books more interesting. As different as those two were, they did seem to share something of a bond. Bliss had gotten three books for Caora, which she suspected would be enough. She did find a teen novel about getting pulled into a video game, but hoped she wouldn't have to resort to it to keep Shaun interested. During her entire search, Bliss would occasionally look up at the giant safe along the entire wall of the study. Obviously it wouldn't open. Obviously it was pointless to try and guess what was behind it. But how could you not at least try to speculate? Before Bliss knew it, she was walking towards the massive metal safe. She knew she couldn't open it, but maybe there was something that would help her guess its contents. The first thing she tried was feeling the safe itself. Even with her gloves on, the steel was cold. “Open says me?” The safe didn't budge an inch. Not that Bliss was expecting it to. Saying that phrase was just something she tended to do when she came across a locked door. It made a lot of the younger kids giggle. But to really get the children laughing, you'd also have to knock and place your ear up against the door. Which Bliss proceeded to do. “Escape...Let me... escape...” “Gu!” Bliss pulled her head back sharply. Maybe there were some things that were better off remaining unknown.
