"The hell you will," someone said belatedly right before she draped her arm around Dazs' shoulders. It didn't quite counter his statement, but then again Adelaide wasn't one to let little details trip her up.
"My boy givin' you trouble, suit? He lets his mouth run more than a man runnin' from a grizzly." She slapped Dazs' shoulder extra hard, half for show and half to reprimand. "Thinks he can get away with stupid s**t."
Noting her fellow Crook, she lifted her chin in acknowledgement.

"How much remains?" He didn't take his eyes off the Blackjack table as he spoke.
When Mia offered his hand, the man glanced at it before taking it. "I'm... I'm sorry. It's not much, but it might help." The man's hand was now empty after shaking Mia's hand, having passed something to him.
Moved by the other's generosity, Mia shoved his hands into his pockets casually, not looking at what was placed in his hand - there were eyes everywhere, and only a few people and things he could trust.
"Thanks," He whispered in awe, bowing his head to solidify his statement.
Regarding the female who walked up, he gave a wave with two fingers, shoulders hunching over. He didn't know her personally, but he'd seen her a few times in the facility they'd been in, but had never actually said hello.
"I'm Mia. But... you probably knew that." MIA had been for Missing in Action, which he never really understood... unless they were talking about his mind, which in that case, made perfect sense.
Of course, in his madness, he'd forgotten his original name...

"Mom, you.... I gotta." He sighed and winced under her slap. "I'll report you to the cps, woman," he grumbled half-heartedly.
"Five more for her. 30 more for me, 20 more for my bro too." He swallowed. Fifty-five coins seemed very, very far away. But he had to believe. He looped his arm around his mom in turn. He still couldn't figure out how the blackjack table was interesting, other than that people seemed to lose.

The suit visibly winced upon being called a suit. "Guy," he corrected, "Not a suit. Guy. As in a person? I mean," he continued, "Being called a suit makes me feel kind of... old..." He reached up and scratched the back of his head, his the jangle of his ear piercings lost to the casino's rukus.
His hands went into his pockets. Then his hips. Then he crossed his arms. He was obviously restless. Dasz putting his arm around his mother didn't help matters. The man sighed. "Look, don't take this the wrong way. You've still got something on you, and you're not going to get it at this rate and don't judge me." He reached out towards Dasz and lightly touched his collar. "There. Man, that was bugging me."
The man dropped his arms to his sides, then crossed them. "I'm sure you guys will make it. Just... be sure to be careful what game you play, right?" The round of blackjack finished at the table, and its current players were exchanging seats with those wanting to try their luck. "I'm sure you guys'll make it."

"Oh...Mad Mia, wasn't it?" Adelaide wrinkled her face in thought, remembering she had seen him here or there around the compound; rumors tended to fly about in the cells. "You doin' good on coins? Boss is workin' hard on gettin' us all out if you have trouble, eh?"
She snickered at her son, taking the threat more like a compliment. "What's that? Couldn't hear you over all that casino noise, but I think it sounded like you were plannin' on buying me a mom of the year mug for Christmas."
Guy was fidgeting quite a bit too much for her tastes. Dazs was subtly tugged back, though she kept her grin up. "Blackjack's rigged, I can tell you that," she agreed. "Worse than the machines, if ya believe it. You keep twitchin' like that, though, you'll never get a good hand." A strange he might be, and an odd one at that, but there was always a little compassion in her for others. "Tried slots yet?"

Dazs squeaked as something cold tumbled down his shirt. Luckily, he had enough presence of mind to twist and grab the he of his shirt. "Hey, guy," he said quietly. He could feel it clinking. "Thanks for getting that off of me. Trying to gauge odds, yeah." Though the coins wouldn't go towards him, it was only an oblique way to reference it. This man jumped like five places in importance.
"Mom, we survive to Christmas - I'll buy you two."

"Guy!" Ritsa shouted as she approached the designated table. There were two items clutched in her hands. Chocolate and a kinder surprise egg. She was out of breath from having run so hard to reach the table in time. Bending over she huffed and walked closer to the table and searched the people around it. Just in time to hear someone use Guy's name. No one here looked familiar. "Where are you?"

"Guy?"
Lissa crossed the floor of the casino like a madwoman, walking as fast as her stocky legs would carry her. She caught sight of the table number, and then the throng of people under it, zeroing in on the faces she recognized. She made eye-contact with the man in the suit and her eyes narrowed, booking it as fast as she could go without catching attention.
"Guy, what the hell is going on," Lissa snarled, her hands clenched into fists. "All the Mall Rats are freaking out, no one can find Jeff, and all of a sudden you're wearing their Versace? Did you sell out on us, man?"

The dress is worn over what appears to be a comfortable sweater and jeans because nothing about Khaleesi's outfit is Canada-approved.

Adelaide's comment brought a quick grin to Guy's face. "Yeah. The odds are against you, but if you can win then you're set. Otherwise... I'm good. I like to watch, that's all."
Dazs got a quick nod. "You're welcome. W- You might be a Mall Rat, but it pays to look in the mirror every now and then right? Can't have DJ Secret lookin' bad in front of other people, y'know?"
Ritsa's sudden shout caused Guy to jump and look wildly around. "Dazs? Favor? I'm not here."
Ritsa's eyes found the face of the person she was looking for. Snapping a glance back towards Lissa as if to tell her to cool it off before she ruined everything she then turned her gaze back to Guy. "She's right, where's Jeff? You obviously know something." Holding up a chocolate bar she pushed it close to his nose. "I've heard you on the radio, you like candy right? I want information. I'll give it to you if it proves useful and I can prove you're not lying to me."

Every fiber of his being was screaming at him to run. Guy stared as the two women approached him, one angry the other very likely to also be angry soon.
The candy bar under his nose stopped him. "I --" He began, stuttering. "It's. You. I don't. Ah! Wow! Look at my wrist! I've got to go!"
"Yes. Yes, I'm okay on coins." He had enough, finally, not realizing quite yet that someone had already paid him off.
Falling silent, the man watched the others talk, not quite trusting himself to talk as of yet. He didn't want to scare them (again) by babbling what was in his mind to try to cope.
And then the guy ran. "Uh..." He stared after them, stunned, reaching up to toy with an ear on his llama hat. "... d'you want me to go catch him?" He asked, dumbfounded.
