Oqaia Menelie [lulz blanketman] Caroline nods her thanks to the harbormaster and directs poor, seasick Cornelius up the docks toward terra firma. She looks at the little blue circles in her hand. She tucks them into a hidden pocket in her skirt. She hears the voices of the two men and her attention is...piqued. She decides on the game of chance. She likes chance. "I'll have a go," she announces to Blanket Man. "How am I t'be playin'?"Ro watches her mother for a bit, staying with Cornelius. She'd investigate the riddling man in the booth once Mother had won or lost. Come back. Whatever. She keeps an eye on the redheaded gypsy currently speaking with Booth Man.((I lovvveee your avy, btw. ^_^) Blanket Man grinned a wide grin, then blinked his eyes back into the back of his head, where his visions lived. "Why little love, here's a riddle for you. Where is Hedriken?" [Thank you, dear. <3] "Hedriken...that sounds mighty familiar...." She pauses for a moment, thinking. "Durriken and Hedriken....och, they're pirates! They roam the isles, so I'd imagine Hedriken would be around here somewhere...I've heard he frequents this island." She smiles and waits to see if her answer is sufficient.Ro watches Zak and Tamlin. That's a good strategy they have.

Oqaia Meryt-Ryre "Thankyou. My brother is the one with our money." Altaira offered a small smile, oblivious to the flirting. "Ah, I see. So you're with your brother. No... other male friends about?" "The others in the caravan." She shrugged - what as this guy getting at anyway?

Oqaia X-Men Lover Oqaia X-Men Lover DeArca was stunned that so many licenses were needed to do things on this island and it seemed that purchasing them would deplete him of all his money. Oh well, if one needs access to things, he must make the sacrifice for it. Luckily the money Axel had created was well needed for a case like this. "Excuse me sir. Could I perhaps buy the follorwing?" Specialty License - 45 Personal Insurance - 80 Total - 125 (My Banya Fortune should cover the first license ans the rest should cover the second...I think?) "And could you tell me where I can camp out my wagon, please? The dockmaster before DeArca stamped out the license form and the insurance sheet and handed them over. "The wagon can not be camped on the beach, but you and your caravan can go up the boardwalk for mooring." DeArca figured that would probably make sense. And he doubted Marco would like staying on the beach for too long. "Alright then! We'll go with our caravan....I should've thought about Hotel Licenses though...hmm" He put a hand to his chin as he got on his wagon. The sound of a man's offer in a game of chance had caught his attention as DeArca saw Tamlin and Caroline approach a grounded blanket and he wanted to see as well. Walking over, he overheard the booth man telling that the game was free and DeArca smiled. "I want to play too? This sounds pretty fun" He said. "Game of chance, game of chance- put your fingers on the marks, and bet me- odds or evens. Then I roll yeh a dice. Nice man, I'll give yeh 50 if you win." DeArca smiled and put two fingers down. "Evens" He said.

Oqaia "Here you are," the man said, stamping and sealing, and then handed over the evidences of her purchases. "And here are your two free chits for the gambling casinos." They were small, wooden, and smoothed into knots dyed with a blue dye. The booth man and the blanket man beckoned, as if to ask the fair lady to step up and try her luck.
"Shall we have a go next, you think?" Lesh glanced at Ani, nudging her arm, "Could be fun." Ani gave a thoughtful look to her mother, then nodded, "Sure, it's worth a try."

Elysia Kavanagh After a short discussion with Leax, Lorelei decided to puchase only the temporary sale and specialty items licenses. Anything else was overkill, even with Lorelei's couplet count. That was still 95 couplets! If they would need a hotel and hostel license, they could buy that later.
Shifting Vanna to her hip, Lorelei made her way into the port, listening to the sounds and holding on tight to Leax's hands. It smelled familiar; not quite like Tempranillo, but close enough.
"Where should we go first?" she asked, softly. Leax bit his lip. It was hard to see her like this- so blind. Not helpless... but still. Sightless. He was glad she couldn't see the look in his eyes. "Well, love, there's a rather sketchy fellow at a blanket on the sand, and another not a whiles away in a booth. The rest of your gypsy sisters are assembling around one or t'other. Want to see what one of them is up to?"

Ranger Kate Oqaia Ranger Kate Hinoicarri Tamlin's ears pricked up at the word free and prize. she looked over at Zak
"well free with a chance of earning something good sound like a good way to start the visit at this here isle. I'm gonna go try my luck at this game hun, you are welcome to join me or try your luck else where."
With that she bounded off towards the booth promising games and riddles.
"free you say! ill try my luck, and just what is this large win you speak of?" Zak is not much for games of wit but he figured for skill there might be a very large hammer and a board with a bell on top of it, like the one that came to his home town a while back with the traveling circus. it had bears you could win in various sizes depending on how high you hit this little peg. that game was fun. his youngest brothers still used that bear as a bed back home. that and this gypsy girl was going over there. Might as well follow. he thought. and padded silently up behind her to watch how the game went. The man running the game looked up from his current competitor and noticed the man standing up behind the others. "Fancy a play?" says Zak placing a thumb on the even mark, sounds simple he thought "these ones""Good odds, good odds... let's see what you fare!" The man then rolled the dice out onto the table. The red dyed cubes clattered on the surface.

The red dyed cubes clattered on the surface. "Ooooh, seven. Tough luck, lad boy." The mark that Zak's thumb was on glowed grey- the color of a loss- and Zak's thumb... disappeared. Painlessly, of course, for it wasn't really taken from him, just the corporeal of it wiped away. Effectively, his finger was waiting in the noncorporeal realm. It was complicated business. Boothman didn't entirely understand it... but hey. It was good business. "Play to get 'er back? Second time cost only 10, win 100 the first time, then get your thumb the second, PLUS 200 if you win!"

"Well hello there dearie, try your luck, try your luck- just place your fingers on the booth, over these drawn marks- then bet me, odds or evens. I'll roll two dice and then if you choose right, you get 50 couplets, dearie."
"hmm sounds easy enough, odds or even eh... well there is no skill to this but that makes the choice even harder" She stood there for a bit looking over at the marks when she heard Zak place his bet
"ah well then that makes it much easier, might as well have one of us win somewhat off this, I'll go with odds my kind sir" she placed her fingers over the odds mark and winked at Zak, "mayhap we can work together after this to improve our standings while on the island""And yours love," he said hurriedly, rolling the dice right after Zak's. Let's see how you fare. Each player gets their own dice, fair's fair, alright."

"Play again? 10 a play, win back 100, second time finger and 200?"

Maybe into one of the casinos, or one of the good trading markets?"
