James had never really played many card games - blackjack and poker were foreign to him. And slots, while fun, didn't seem to yield much coin. He had a pricetag that was literally choking him (and it totally didn't work with the bow tie!) and he needed to figure out a way to ante up some coin, quick.
So he decided not to stray far from his comfort zone.
"I'll have you know," he chirped cheerfully, "I always beat my preschoolers at this one. You could say I'm sort of a champion of twenty questions." He smiled brightly. "Now everyone, remember to put on your fun faces, and take turns!"
James rested his chin on one hand, while tapping his temple with the other.
"What am I thinking of?

Drew took a seat at a table nearby where that wretched attendant "escorted" him to, a right frown on his face. It took him a while to realize that it was a 20 Questions table, but when he did he blinked curiously at the man who sat in the dealer's chair. "Alright, I'll give this a shot..." he said with a smile as he quickly read the rules and dropped his first coin.

"Yes!"
James turned his thousand-watt smile on the newcomer to his table. It was a guy. A cute guy. Well, I mean, it was the apocalypse, so any guy who wasn't half rotten and trying to murder him was pretty cute.
"Yes sir! Oh boy, first question too! You're off to a good start!"

That smile, though. Bright...almost too bright, but still pleasant. And definitely welcome considering the kind of casino they were currently stuck in.
Drew returned it with a grin of his own after his question was answered with an energetic, "Yes!" He paused to think on what he could ask next before he put down another coin.

"No!"
"Nope! Well, I mean, technically you can eat anything, right, but I get what you're saying." James rested his chin on his hands, pushing his glasses up with a finger.
He could certainly eat him right up.

Okay, not food. So he didn't have to think of things that would eventually just make him hungry and crave for things he couldn't have.
"Good point," he said as he dropped another coin. "Alright, let's see..."

"Yes!"
"It sure is!" James drummed his fingers on the table in excitement. This was so much fun, he could almost forget about the infected and the murderous casino employees or the really uncomfortable collar.

Man, the energy on this guy was just...something else. The good kind of something else, the contagious kind.
The "yes" had him place another coin offering before he pondered his next question after propping his chin in his hands. Something small enough to fit into a bag...maybe it was something a little more on the obvious side? Worth a shot...

Ooh, going straight for the goal! James liked that kind of tenacity.
"Nope, sorry! I admire your," he began, giving him another bright smile, "spirit, though!"

He chuckled at the answer he was given, despite it being a hard "no," and shrugged. "Worth a shot, right?" he said before pulling out another coin. He was already safe so he didn't need to worry about saving them, and frankly he liked this guy's company.

James tried to imagine this. It was kind of grim.

Hm.
Drew gathered the collective answers he'd gotten so far and tried to see how he could narrow down the search a little bit further. "Feels like I'm making it tougher than it probably should be..." he mused while putting on a thoughtful expression.

"No!"
"Aww, you're only five questions in!" James replied encouragingly.
And then - "Oh, no, definitely not." It was, he mused, really difficult to say much without giving too much away.

Another no, crossed off his list.
He nodded and, after reaching into his bag, left a small pile of coins on the table so he didn't have to keep pulling them one by one from his bag. Though he only offered them to the dealer one by one. "Right, right," he replied, appreciating the encouragement. "Lemme see then..."

"No!"
"Not in most offices, no," replied James. "That eliminates a lot, doesn't it?" He added cheerfully.
