She had tried the slots, and she had eyed the tables, but Fantasia was just not able to get into it. Even with her life at stake, the very idea of gambling away her previous pile of coins made her too nervous to even so much as approach the places. She took to wandering instead for a while, both to cool her head and to take in the sights. "Ironic" wasn't the word, but it was still with a wry sense of humor that she realized her first ever casino setting had to be this particular one: all bloody and macabre and gross hidden under the guise of a working, perfectly normal business.
Had they entered some new realm somehow? Like an alternate universe where people were just kosher with killing others for food? Jesus Christ, what kind of trap had they all walked themselves into?
Her stomach was beginning to growl to boot. Fantasia found a wall to lean on and tucked her hands into her pits, unsure of how to combat it when she was sure every food and drink in the establishment was drugged.
"Still thinking optimistic?" she asked when Rajni passed by on her circuit. They were both still wearing their collars, so she doubted much progress had been made. How many more hours were they going to have to tick away now?

Rajni, on the other hand, was the exact opposite. In the very depths of her heart if they told her eating a person was the cure for the undying plague, she'd probably participate. She would hate every second of it and understand the moral implications, but it was dog eat dog out there. Rather, person eat person.
That was a joke.
She hoped it didn't come to that.
The bingo cards were a bit over the top, but like Fantasia she had observed the casino's disgusting traits and wasn't pleased. The more she played the more she wanted out, but the farther she seemed from her goals. It just wasn't fair.
"I have never thought optimistically. Less disappointment," she said quietly, and it was true. She thought hopefully and realistically, but never optimistically. "What has been done, hm?" she asked in her lulling tone. Better to have Fantasia focus on her positives.

She gave a long sigh. "Talked a little with Zelda," Fantasia reported, turning her gaze outward. "She's an okay lady. Better than that lazy a** on board anyway." It was better to unfocus the background noise and lights by letting her vision get hazy.
"Filled out a bingo card. Did you see that sick crap on there?" The teen couldn't help but shudder at the memory. "Heart as a free spot...Who are these freaks, Rajni?" She didn't expect the other girl to have an answer, but the words had to leave her at some point. The incredulity of their situation was only rising more and more. "Do you think they'd really let us buy our way out if we did it?"

"October protects us," she reminded Fantasia. Be kind to your higher ups; they will one day die and we will have to take their place. That was what Fantasia thought anyways.
She looked rather blankly at Taysia. She was spouting a lot of scared crap and Rajni sighed. "A limit of few questions small one, I only have one mouth." More succinctly, she didn't have an answer to all of these questions. "Simply, they are cannibals. If that scares you, kill yourself now. There are crueler things in this world and there will be crueler yet." Very black and white, despite how she felt on the inside. "They will let us buy our way out. They were good on their word to the eye-patch man. They will be good to us."

Fantasia grunted noncommittally. Maybe she did have a low opinion of their faction assistant; or maybe it was just her own insecurity manifesting in more unwarranted insults. It was hard to tell nowadays, even for Fantasia herself.
What wasn't hard to tell was the disapproval she got for being called small one.
"Oh yeah, sure, cannibals will be real good to us," the teen complained. "I told them to save a woman right at the beginning, you know? And they just whisked her off, and the boy was screaming until the end. Treats us very nice." She crossed her arms tight. "I'm ******** starving and all they'll serve us is human meat I bet, and now I'm asking if we should tell them no at all."
Her thoughts were disjointed, threaded together barely only by the image of a casino of death.

"Do you feel better now that you have demarked this place hm?" she asked, gesturing around. "All you have done is named our realities. You have yet to do anything with them."
She stuck a finger on Fantasia's collar. "We will talk more of morality when this is off."medigel just posting once more for 40 coins thingy~

The hell did "demarked" mean? She almost decided to ask instead of keeping silent. But Fantasia kept her lips pressed together instead and let Rajni go/
Later, she would have to eat her own words when October slipped her thirty extra coins in passing. But for now, it was back to the tables with something less than a prayer.
