Oh how wonderful it was to be able to see where the hell he was going finally. While he was enjoying his sight it soon dropped back into darkness, but at least there were lights and shades that he could tell the difference between. Sweet bliss. At least for a moment until the first BOOM fired overhead. Kaethus flinched but his eyes were drawn to the light.
Man, he really was digging this vision thing again.
Perhaps it was like a moth to a flame, or that impulsive streak in him, but he felt drawn to it. So much so that his legs trailed off before he could really pay enough attention to them to stop them. Aaron was surely behind him somewhere, he felt that much. Another firework in the sky. Purple. Red. Blue. A palette for his recovered eyes.
Not much soon after did the building actually come into his sight. The sign was gaudy and he shook his head at it, but the Casino aspect of it peaked his curiosity. It looked like they were using more electricity than a small city. Kaethus liked Casino's though. If he was losing at a table then there was always a fat wallet to find somewhere in a crowd.
Nostalgia.
With that thought he moved forward, he pushed at the doors. Maybe he'd even get lucky.

Kaethus has chosen to play Blackjack
"Hoooweee." Kaethus let out the noise as he entered the building. It was more of a set up than anything he could have ever imagined. Yet there was a nagging feeling as he began to move through the games. There were so many people and they were just playing? "The fu-"
He never got a chance to finish as a smiling man walked up. Kaethus blinked, he might have nearly cried. "That is alcohol?" He could have hugged him right there as he chugged it down. "Currency?" Was this heaven? Did he die somewhere between there? There seemed to be a big lack of naked people for that to be true.
"Well thank you." He said gleefully, looking for his prey. "Blackjack, there you are." It was like being reunited with an old friend and he moved to the table to play a round. He felt pumped up as he sat at the table, giving the dealer a grin and he looked at the hand.
"Hit me."
BUST!
Well s**t that escalated quickly. Kaethus sighed and leaned back. This was not heaven, not at all. But maybe he needed a little more hell to get on with what he was doing.

Kaethus has decided to Ask a Question and The Young Man
There was some happiness before them. Yes, even with his head spinning he could sit and laugh with them. Play the games. It was the closest thing he had to fun in a good long while since that day. But even those few hours of fun couldn't last forever and before he fell he remembered that drink he had. Guess it wasn't worth it. Were his last thoughts before his world went dark again.
Hungover again? His body was screaming it and he shook his head. It came as a shock that it was the only part of his body he could really move at all and he tugged at the rope. "Ah." The pained noise escaped his throat and his eyes came together. A loud groan followed the pained ******** GRADESCHOOL.
Kaethus didn't get to dwell long as the voice came over the speakers and down into his core, causing his head to throb and his body to shake. "Players?" He repeated with a raspy voice, coughing a few times as the voice droned on. Kaethus was trying his best to pay attention. Walked right into a pig trap. It was slowly coming down and the internal comic was slowly becoming silent. The pain on his wrists from the rope was real, as was the throbbing in his head and his eyes wandered the area.
"Buy.." He blinked again, breathing heavily. "Yeah I got a ques-" Kaethus would forever regret those words as he was forcefully dragged. "AH HEY WATCH THE LEGS!" He felt them scrape against it but was silenced as he was dragged into the room. A seriousness fell over him and he looked at the other two. Kaethus. He could do anything. Make people laugh. Steal hearts and wallets.
What he couldn't handle was this.
The bottom lip started to shake and he looked at them. Choose? What kind of sick s**t was that? At first he shook his head but stared at them. The woman was frightened and so was the boy. So young. Alone. Kaethus might have well been staring into a mirror. It shouldn't be agonized about and he nodded his head towards the boy without a word, but averted looking at the woman.
While he could avoid the gaze his ears could hear it all. Screams that shook him down to his core. Loud, long and shrieking into nothing. "What's... in there?" He began, but the first pop made his stomach churn and his eyes darted to the boy. "What the... ********?!" He screamed, watching as the blood poured out of the boy with wide eyes, feeling the stinging of tears on his own.
"I was, he... I..." There was nothing coherent. Nothing of Kaethus in that moment. Or for several silent ones after. It was the veil of uncanny disappearing and shoved into it the gravity of his situation.
This was worse than hell.

When he was dragged back into the casino he was not the same person. A daze came over him and he stood like a vibrating statue, shaking from the experience and not being able to move. His green eyes darted over the playing people. Now he understood why they were stuck to their machines, looking more like zombies than the undying did. They were all trapped inside just like he was.
Did that mean Aaron was here? Kaethus hoped to god that Aaron had managed to not follow him in. For his own sake. But now there was no one to anchor him, to bring him back to the Kaethus that he was. That Kaethus could do this. Could this new one?
Slowly he moved forward towards the games, jittering as he did. He had to buy his way out first before anything else, then he could help. A lot of help you did that boy. Kaethus bit his lip. I won't let that happen again.
