Moure had yet to play the strange favour-filled game, but found himself spotting it in his exploration anyway. When he entered the gaming area, he was told of the game by one of the older horsemen already present, and then continued to look around the tables. After a moment, he spotted a group of students from Amityville. They didn't seem too engrossed in their game yet, an assumption he made by glancing at the favours being passed around, so maybe there was a chance he could jump in?
"Any chance I could join in?" He asked, stepping up to an empty chair. He took in the people already there, identifying a few of them: The mindflayer he knew to be Riley (although he actually hadn't spoken to her personally outside of poker at Prom), two students he'd seen in the Death class last week, a ghost he'd seen during the trials, and a ghoul he faintly recognized as Amrita. He gave them all nods, placing a bone token down. "Scepters, if so." After a moment, the patchwork seemed to remember how polite they were supposed to be here, and added in, "I'm Moure, by the way."

"I never thought about betting someone elses." The ghost looked into pocket, eyeing the different tokens he had. "But, I think, I'd rather give mine, gives me a chance to see your pretty faces again."
He smiled and playfully wrinkled his nose.
"You too handsome." The slimer chuckled as he nodded to the greed demon.

Riley gave Ace and Moure a slight nod, before gesturing at the seats. More are always welcome.
Of course, now the pot was looking mighty big, but an even amount of people placed their bets on each side, and when Riley rolled the dice, she slid the winners back their tokens and left the three losses out for each winner to pick one.
Not my night, it seems. I will return to crowns.

"OW!" Ace cried out in victory, his hand slapping the table. It felt good to win right away. The greed demon grabbed for his returned winning token then eyed the newcomer, Moure. "I think I'll be taking that-" he said, quickly grabbing for the boil's token.
"Riley, I only want one thing from you still and that is supposed to be a sekret okay?" he said as if it were a big ******** deal. "And staying with crowns."
Has: Moure

"Coincidence..." Sabine began, eyes glimmering as once perfect nail pulled Riley's token to her, "...or fate?" After a moment she smiled and pushed Riley's token back toward the pot, "I'll bet scepters."

The ghost leaned in. An elbow rested on knee, while his head was propped up on the palm of his hand. He looked at the the tokens, and to the other winners.
"Well...I'd like to take our new friend Moure's token." The slimer did a small wave of his hand to the newcomer. "Since I'm not taking any tokens this round, next few rounds I win in, and the boil has lost, I have dibs on his token-"
"Or yours," added the ghost as he eyed Ace. "Yes?"
His eyes then turned to the purple demon.
"I'll stick to crowns."

The patchwork gave the mindflayer a happy nod, and sat down fully. Moure watched the dice roll, noting the numbers. Oddly enough, he wasn't at all disappointed when he saw he had lost.
After all, Moure loved running Errands. A favour wouldn't be that different, right?
The demon boil from his class snatched up Moure's token nearly as quickly as the dice had rolled, and Moure followed the bone dragon move to the demon's side and then fetched another of his tokens out. "I'll go with Scepters again." He nodded to the ghost as he mentioned wanting Moure's token next time the patchwork lost. Weird, he wasn't used to being bartered over.
((Has: Nobody.
Owes: Ace.))

"Oh, and where are my manners." The ghost turned to the patchwork, and extended a hand. "I'm El Greco, if we're going to owe each other favors, we should know each other's names."
The slimer's smile was wide, and his lidless eyes wide open.

"...Yeah, that makes sense." Amrita mused, adding 'El Greco' instead of 'Sabine' in her mental list of favours owed to her. She continued to build the line of her wins, humming lightly to herself in thought until a familiar boil came to the table and joined in. Ooou this boil looked familiar! Where did he...hrm. Oh!
"Hey, Moure!" She waved her backward fingers at him, and then settled to ponder her choice; the tokens were scooped up before she could grab them, but she had quite the pile in front of her anyway. No loss, really.
"That's fine, I'll agree to that." She murmured to El Greco and his claim on Moure's token, should it ever come up to a split again.
"I'll take crowns again, please."

Riley gave Ace a wink, and shook the dice. Redeemable anytime. Now let's see..
Finally. Riley breathed a sigh of relief, before immediately snatching Sabine's token. Sorry, my friends. But after that many losses, I'm taking it upon myself to make sure I get one, this time. I will stay with crowns from now on. She gave Sabine a calm expression. So, my dear new friend. What are you good at? So that I know what best to use this on, later.

Ace kicked his feet up with a snort after Riley snagged the only bone and that was Sabine's.
How embarrassing.
He sat there with his blue eyebrows raised and cracked his neck. "Scepters this time."

Precious!
The ghost just starred at the patchwork's token for a few minutes, knowing that he had rightfully won the token and no one else would take it. Then his hands swooped in quick and out, like a frog catching a fly, yet not as gracefully, and enclosed the token with both his hands.
"Crowns again please." The slimer smiled as he eyed Ace's token.

"Oh freaka, no," Sabine winked at Riley, "I was using your piece. So feel free to do yourself a favour anytime. I'm sure you have some viable skills, after all."
She grabbed a new piece out of the basket and placed it as her bet, "Scepters. And for your information, what I'm good at is making homely creepstas into hot freakacitas." She gave Riley a slow up and down, "So let's hope you really do win my favour this time."

Moure gave a nod to the slimer and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you." After a moment, he tipped his head slightly, before saying, "Did you come by the Icebreaker's Sandcastle during the first trial?" Moure might've just been crazy, but he was pretty sure he'd seen the ghost there with Roch's other tattooed reaper friend.
"Hey Amrita." Moure said with a slight grin and a nod. He was happy to finally meet her in a place where they weren't all threatened with dying and were in one piece. (He hadn't seen the ghoul since the Haunted House, after all, when he'd given her some supplies like duct-tape and needles and thread.)
Moure watched as the dice rolled again. Lost again. It was a good thing that the patchwork didn't mind losing. In fact, he actually was happy with either result, since if he lost, it just meant he'd get to run some Errands, most likely. With a slight chuckle he spoke, "Since I seems I'll probably owe a lot of you favours, I should probably tell you what I'm good at." That seemed like a good idea, right? With a glance around the table, he spoke again, "I'm a patchwork, but I was specifically built to run Errands, so I'm probably a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to any errand you might need done. And I guess I'm good at..crafts. I can also run pretty fast." Moure was literally a Patchwork Runner. 'Pretty fast' was an understatement.
After a moment, he placed another bone dragon on the table. "Still Scepters." The boil wasn't playing to win, after all.
((Has: No one
Owes: Ace, El Greco ))

Amrita heard the banter between the two other ghouls at the table and found herself sinking even further into her seat. If Sabine claimed that Riley needed help, then...she didn't even want to know where she rested on the scales.
"S-Scepters, please." She murmured in a voice that was barely a whisper but all sorts of uncomfortable. The newcomers started to tell their strengths, but Amrita didn't offer hers; mostly because she forgot that this was a new crowd, since she had told everyone in the last game.
Not that she had any talents to offer anyway.
(( Has: Riley x 3, El Greco x2
Given: 0
Won: 5 rounds ))
