Calab was finally free of the eye bandage, the swelling of his black eye gone if not forgotten. The discolored area still remained, but his eye was usable again. He'd been in a few fights before and he didn't remember a black eye healing this fast, not one as bad as he'd been sporting. He glanced around, maybe it was just in his head.
The sudden 'swish-boom-crackle' overhead is enough to send Calab skittering to the ground in surprise (and he wouldn't admit it) fear. Back flat on the ground he could only look upwards at the fireworks bursting brightly in the sky. What the actual- he couldn't comprehend it. After a dumbfounded moment, he flipped over pressing back against a wall. He couldn't hear if anything was creeping up on him with all the new noise.
Minutes pass, but nothing comes. Calab slips out of the curled up position and moves forward, that much light was going to draw a LOT of people... he didn't know what was up ahead, but maybe he could get there fast and be one of the first on scene... whatever that might be.
The flashing lights reading [ DELTA CASINO ] was not where Calab thought he'd end up. The warm lure in the lights though soon pulled him towards the sprawling buildings.

Calab was inside before he knew it. The lights were blinding for a moment, nothing had been bright for so long. The smell of cigarette smoke and alcohol mixed in his nose, both burning an welcome. There were people already here, chatting and playing the games like before... Calab was too overwhelmed by the change to notice it was too clean for the world he'd been in moments before, the smells should have been mixed with odor.
Calab stumbled forward in the bright lights, the sounds of Slot Machines mixing with the clicking of the Roulette Wheel and card being snapped sharply onto tables. He walked, aimlessly, almost confused before a person wearing a fashionable suit and vest came over to him, offering him an an expensive-looking cocktail from a tray of them. "Welcome to Delta Casinos! Drink?"
Calab waved the drink off. "No thanks." He'd had his fill of alcoholic drinks already. He eyes the tray, wishing a pack of cigarettes had been up for the offering.
The man didn't seem bothered. "To begin, we will play with a currency called Casino coins. You can use them later for fantastic prizes!" He handed Calab a number of coins, then was off mixing with others again. Offering drinks and then out of sight.

Free to do what he wanted, Calab wandered over to one of the Blackjack tables, oddly empty besides him, not that he noticed more than briefly. The other tables looked well attended. The dealer placed that cards.
"Aw! To bad." The man said to Calabs's Ace and Four.
"Wait, can't I say 'hit me' for another card?" Calab questioned.

He was sure that was how Blackjack worked. Still the man hadn't taken any of his coins, and had finally offered Calab a smoke. He didn't recognize the brand, he didn't care. The thoughts of the outside world were slowly melting away. Then he realized it wasn't just the outside world, the room was spinning, his head was swimming. Then everything went black.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Calab slowly came awake, he hurt all over, where had he slept last night? He'd dreamed of before- Calab's thoughts crashed to a stop as he realized he couldn't move his arms... or legs. He was tied to a chair, the room was dark.
Only for a few moments, he knew other people were with him, then the room was a blinding white. He blinked the spots from his eyes, and trying to understand the words of someone...
Speakers, and the room looked like a school setting. He drifts for a moment, trying to understand how this could have happened... and what was this about being a new player. He couldn't look around, the ropes almost made it hard to breath deeply. So Calab sat and listened to everything.
The voice finally asked, "Any questions?"
Calab wasn't sure if that was some kind of joke, his ropes were bound so tight, he could not even speak.
After a moment an attendant, wearing the Casino suit and vest, comes over and grabs him and his entire chair. Calab is dragged into a separate room. There are two people in the room, in the same situation as him.
And he's forced to pick.
He still has no idea what is going on, but at least the tugging of the ropes that happened while he was brought to this room has given him room to breath, and speak. "Him." Calab chooses, not sure if he recognized they guy from school or not.
Having selected him, they begin to untie the teen, dragging the lady off to the room beyond. The lady screams the entire time, and Calab feel obligated to ask what is in that room, when suddenly the man he rescued dashes for the exit the other direction.
Immediately, several bullets are fired, and the teen dies. Calab stared down in disbelief.
"What a freaking waste," exclaims the announcer, "well, whatever. I guess you don't get to be a patron after all. Now, let's continue onwards, shall we?"
Calab remained silent.

The final doors open - to reveal pretty much the same casino room Calab started in. Not everyone looks so clean or well dressed as before, and he wonders if he'd imagined it being like it would have before. It didn't matter though, the doors were guarded, and he'd seen what would happen if he ran. Calab's stomach lurched. He had to buy his way out of here!
Calab could finally feel the weight if the Despair in the room.
