To say Harvard was suspicious would be an understatement. It didn't make sense for there to be a place so wholly unaffected by the chaos outside. Still, he stepped in, drawn by lights and perhaps the nagging uncertainty of being left behind if he did not go. Safety in numbers.
People played casually, acting as though they weren't about to die - must be interesting, Harvard thought. The level of dissociation must be through the roof. It was tempting, of course, to pretend nothing at all was wrong, but Harvard's level nature couple with his pessimistic bent, would never allow it.
He took a drink from a waiter, but did not drink.
Perhaps, while he was here... just for a moment, he'd play. Harvard would play and try to understand what made these people able to forget.

Quote: Your character selects to play Blackjack! They seat themselves at an empty table with a dealer. Make a new post in your [ Casino solo ] thread. Roll 2d12 (2 12-sided dice). If your character gets anywhere between 15 - 20 for their number they win 5 casino coins! You can only play this once. Write your RP reaction to what you have done/ experience with it. Make sure in this post you include your usual OOC segment [ AND LOG THE AMOUNT OF CASINO COINS YOU HAVE ]. You should have a base of 50 to start! He watched others, half an eye on his own cards. Watched as Caroline flirted her way into laps - that was interesting, wasn't it. His eyes drifted to Austin, to Liam, to those people he knew. He watched Austin's daredevil grin as he, too, took a seat at another blackjack table. Everything was reactionary, and he wanted to see it. Someone offered him a cigarette and he took it, taking a long drag. They giggled, offered him another 'for later' and he focused. She was a pretty thing, but he could see the places life had been hard on her. She looked.... predictable. But the dealer - there was something strange about him. Enough to make Harvard wonder. He smiled at the woman, chatted, stayed his hand, and watched the dealer. Fresh-faced young thing that the dealer was. There was something odd behind his eyes, or maybe it was the light, or the cigarettes, or his imagination. He won the hand. [spoiler][quote="OOC"]

He observed more than he played. But as Harvard played, he won a little, then lost, then won - it seemed coincidentally systematic. As he played, and won, and lost, and won again, Harvard noticed his vision go off, blur a bit Reaching a hand up, he rubbed at his eyes. His left hand, he noted, and wondered when he'd needed to stop using the sling. That wasn't normal, was it?
Harvard frowned and then everything went black.

He blinked up into the blinding light. He had absolutely no idea what was going on, so instead of speaking, Harvard listened through the blood pounding in his ears. Focus, he told himself. When given the choice, he nodded to the boy who, despite the circumstances, looked young, fresh, and impulsive.
Sometimes, Harvard did not like to be proven right, he thought, looking straight ahead. He did not look at the boy's body.

"He's older." "Oh, his ID says he's a doctor." "Look at this, Cynthia!" Harvard stood silently as the two attendants rifled through his things and proceeded to rifle through him. Sort of. He was poked, prodded, patted, (pinched!) by one girl while the other wrote down some sort of notes. Harvard kept his face carefully blank looking off somewhere in the middle-distance, but he was listening intently to their tally. He knew what was at stake, but still, he was a little gratified that his doctorate made his price go up. His lip curled as the collar was snapped around his neck. Now, that was unpleasant. But, as they explained things, Harvard decided that this, at least, was a game of sorts. And Harvard did enjoy a good game.
