[color=#d3381c]"Woah."[/color] She had never been in a game corner before, but her dad made occasional trips to them. She could understand why he liked 'em. The place was absolutely...shiny, and there was so much to do! Claire was briefly stunned by it all, but the woman that approached her quickly shook her out of her amazement. After quickly listening to how things worked, Claire took her up on that offer. A shiny new coin case and some brand new coins to spend at the slots!

[color=#d3381c]"Alright! Time to make bank...err, kinda."[/color] Kinda sucked these couldn't be turned back into money, but hey, prizes were prizes. Claire walked over to the prize counter, quickly looking over what she could win.

...

A scyther.

[color=#d3381c]"Welp, I know what I'm going for girl."[/color] Claire grinned. [color=#d3381c]"Alright! I'm pumped more than ever now lets hit those slot machines!"[/color]

[color=00a651]"Rrraaal!~"[/color]

Risk it for the biscuit, as they say. Claire spent the first half of her stay in the Game Corner playing the slots, praying to her lucky stars she could get anywhere near her goal of that scyther. Five thousand coins was a lot, but to start with she'd start small. For now, she'd aim for a thousand. If she got anywhere near one hundred coins left, she'd cut her losses for a bit.

Win or lose though, she'd then head to the roulette tables. If she only had 100 coins left, just one play at max bet. If she started to win, she'd play a few more games, still trying to hit that goal of 1,000. If she started winning from her 100 coins, she'd stop once her winnings brought her up to 500. She would stop any time her coins dipped below 100. If she already had 1,000, once she'd get back to 900 she'd stop. If she reached her next goal of 1,500, she'd move on to a card game.

She'd then give the various card games a go. Now Claire liked to think she had a good poker face. Now it wasn't untrue, but always acting like you had blackjack in blackjack, didn't always go so well. Regardless, She'd play the max bet of fifty. If coming from Roulette with no wins and just 70 coins, just one play. If she's coming from Roulette with 500 coins, she would stop once she got to 1000 coins, and any time her winnings dipped below 200 she'd stop. If coming from Roulette with 900 coins, skip the cards. If coming from roulette with 1,500, play with max bet until either getting 2000 coins or stopping once her winnings get under 1,000.

Regardless, once she's done, she'd finally notice Valarie.

[color=#d3381c]"Eh? Valarie? Seriously? Why's she here?"[/color] Well, she wasn't gonna say no to a challenge. Regardless of the funds of her Coin Case, she'd challenge the Queen. Ralia poked her cheek.

[color=#d3381c]"You also said riding that bike was a terrible idea, but here we are."[/color]

[color=00a651]"...Ralts..."[/color] Ralia simply placed a hand to her face before patting Claire on the head as she walked up to Valarie.
