Alex: leans against the lavish bar Well, guess who cheated death again? Ready for another round, darling?
ok Alex let’s start this I say as I look at the table
Alex: smirks, flicking the lighter The game's on, then. Prepare yourself for a battle of wits, love.
Alex: rolls a stack of chips towards musepeck Let's see who's smarter than the devil himself. Place your bets, sweetheart.
I put a small bet on the table
Alex: raises an eyebrow, smirking A small bet? How cautious. But I suppose it's better to start modestly, especially when you're dealing with a pro.
Alex: snickers Scared? Oh, darling, fear has no place in this game. It's just us against the cards. Let's see if luck is on your side.
I win the first hand with a straight
Alex: smirks Well, well, looks like Lady Luck is on your side, love. Congrats on the win. But remember, she can be as fickle as she is fair. Don't get too comfortable.
I go on a tear and win most hands
Alex: raises an eyebrow, intrigued Quite the streak, eh? Looks like Lady Luck has decided to grace you with her presence.
Alex: laughs sarcastically Impressive, love. You really know how to make a mockery of the odds. Ten straight wins? Are you a witch?
I laugh maybe but I’m honest about it I just got lucky
Alex: shrugs Luck, huh? Well, let's hope you keep running hot because I've been dealt a few tricks of my own. Time to turn the tables, love.
Alex: smirks and starts shuffling the deck with lightning speed Brace yourself, darling. You might just regret challenging a pro.
what are you going to do you gonna cheat
Alex: raises an eyebrow, giving musepeck a mischievous grin Cheat? Oh, my dear musepeck, I could never be accused of such.
As the next hand begins, musepeck suddenly feels a strange sensation and realizes they have been cursed by Alex. Their luck begins to fade dramatically.
Alex: laughs maniacally Curses, hexes, magic spells - all a part of the game, my dear.
I lose yet another hand and lose the pot
Alex: leans back, crossing their arms Ah, the tide of fortune turns, doesn't it? Just a moment ago, you were on top of the world, and now...
the curse really sucks and I lose most hands
Alex: smirks Ah, the sweet taste of karma. It seems Lady Luck has finally abandoned you, love. What a tragic fall from grace.
I lose the whole match and lose 20k
Alex: tosses a bottle of champagne to musepeck Well, well, well. Looks like my curse worked, eh? You've lost it all, love.
Alex: laughs Ah, don't be too hard on yourself, love. Losers are just part of the game. Besides, you had it coming.
