Marewill knelt over Kresh’s limp body. Should she let him go? Probably. But that was just one more person in the arena to worry about.

She spun the knife in one hand, debating. Eventually she came to a decision.

”The one you had a deal with didn’t kill you. I doubt you can hear me, but you deserve to be told so much.”

She put the knife to his throat and slit it.

She smiled a little. “What’s it like, being a Gamemaker?”

“I-I-It’s h-h-h-hard t-t-t-to e-ex-e-exp- h-hard t-to d-d-describe,” Gavin said, looking thoughtful.

“I was told to come here by a voice from my ear. I didn’t know that was possible. How did you do it?” Tondon chatters for a moment, before realizing that he can get some iron and duralumin. “You said I’d be rewarded. I’d like a lot of iron filings, a duraluminmind, a small shield, something that will tell me if I’m close to other people, some more blades, preferably curved so I can hook on to things, some better food and water, some bandages, a rope, and better clothes, in order of importance.” 

Corin tsks softly. “One kill won’t cover all of that…”

You've got to be kidding me. He flares brass and tries to soothe it.

It immediately releases.

Jaksyn follows, entering through the same door if possible, since they were both called. He hears Tondon’s long lists of requests, and waits for a reaction before doing anything. 
 

@Edema Rue

The door locked behind Tondon, and all others are locked.

"Aw," Astra faked a pout, "You're no fun."

She slipped away from the table, clinking the coins in her pockets. Then she made her way back to the bar, slurring her speech.

"Corin, dear," She idly drew shapes on the counter with her index finger, "What was it you said of a... trade?" She looked up at him, mocking helplessness.

@Edema Rue

Corin pursed his lips, trying to keep from laughing. He failed, though it came out sounding much more sinister than he’d intended. She doesn’t expect me to believe this act, does she? “You don’t need to lose to trade with me, darling,” he said.

“Ah, I see.” Connor shakes his head and says “See ya later!” Before strolling out of the casino into the spore rain. He raises his hands and grabs a few out of the air. 

 

As he exits, he sees Jaksyn. Jaksyn also sees him.

Yes she ran away free, because she doesn't like to be restrained, but wishes somewhat that someone chased her to give her some competition.

She cocked her head in curiosity.

"I know. How far through the list does it get me? If I get another, how far will that be? Also, who's that guy?" asks Tondon, pointing to the Gambler. As another cannon goes off, slightly muffled by the walls, Tondon speaks again, "If that was Jaksyn, could I switch the shield and the alarm?" 

Quote

Currently, this is feeling like a game to Tondon. He'd feel legitimately sad if Jaksyn dies, but not immediately. If he does end up having to kill Jaksyn, he'll probably have nightmares about it for the rest of his life. Of course, he is slightly addicted to iron, and wouldn't really think it through that much in the moment. If Jaksyn ends up really unlucky, would that make Tondon try to kill him?

"Thank preservation!" Mark soothes it one last time before his brass runs out and runs away. "Roy, lets get out of this octopi-infested land!" @RoyalBeeMage

Corin hummed softly. The tune was unrecognizable and eerie. “I don’t have any metals right now. But I can promise you some later, and get you blades as well as sustenance now.”

Another cannon goes off. Another fallen tribute. One person closer to freedom.

She looked at him a moment longer, then looked forward. “Did something happen to your last painting?”

Astra leaned further in on the bar. "What if I... win?"

She looked back towards the gambler, then at Corin again, "Could I trade with you then?"

Gavin blinked. “H-h-how d-did-d-d-d-d-d- h-h-how—” he cut off. Didn’t need to fake that… he didn’t seem to notice, but his hands were clenched painfully tight. 

Just now, Lotus Blossom said:

Astra leaned further in on the bar. "What if I... win?"

She looked back towards the gambler, then at Corin again, "Could I trade with you then?"

“Of course,” Corin says. “What do you need?” He’s still grinning, but it seems less alive. It’s sterile rather than wild, efficient rather than free.

“Never said I was.” The Gambler grunts as she walks away.

“Deal.” Tondon sticks his hand out for a handshake, takes the supplies as Corin gets them, then wanders over to the Gambler.

"I'd appreciate a..." Astra looked around for her glass, found it, then sipped some more, "A weapon of some kind. Something to destroy the world with. To burn it all down. All of it." She began to laugh under her breath, beyond the point of tipsy.

"I hope that wasn't Kresh" Quelkin thinks as he makes his away from the casino. "It's not your fault if he died, you kept your part of the deal" Nacho says. "I know, but I feel like I should have at least stayed and tried to protect him. I could have done something more" Quelkin replies. He notices that small blue things where floating down in the air. He went over to inspect one as it landed in a puddle beside him. He ended up sprawled on the ground fifteen feet from where he was standing, heart beating and head spinning. He sat their for a second, gathered his wits, and continued on, avoiding puddles and fallings blue dust thingies.
