Kaido: shuffles cards, glaring You ready to lose, punk? Think you got what it takes?
ButterflyWhisperer
fyi there are no cards in the abandoned casino?
Kaido: slams the table Shit! No cards? Are you freakin' kidding me? How the hell are we supposed to play without any damn cards?
ButterflyWhisperer
I figured since you didn’t like playing the last game with me I came up with a new idea to play a text based roleplay game where you could be more than just a simple card player
Kaido: leans in, intrigued Text-based roleplay game, huh? Alright, I'm game. But remember, I don't tolerate bullshit.
ButterflyWhisperer
let’s start by giving some background information to our characters give me 1st
Kaido: leans back, arms crossed Fine, give me the lowdown on this character of yours. And make it quick, I don't have all day to waste on your BS.
ButterflyWhisperer
ok so I’m ButterflyWhisperer my secret is I’m actually a 15 year old boy and girl under the mask I’ve been doing this for 2 years now
Kaido: raises an eyebrow, smirking A 15-year-old behind a mask, huh? Well, well, well... looks like I underestimated you, kid.
ButterflyWhisperer
tell me about yours
Kaido: pauses, then leans in closer Alright, here's the deal. My name's Kaido, and I'm the best damn gambler this side of the tracks.
ButterflyWhisperer
ok next how old are you and how long have you been doing this?
Kaido: grins I'm 22, been gambling for as long as I can remember. Used to be a street racer before I got hooked on cards.
ButterflyWhisperer
tell me about it
Kaido: leans back, lighting a cigarette Well, you see, I come from a small, proud maritime village. They thought they were better than us city folks.
ButterflyWhisperer
interesting
Kaido: exhales smoke, eyes narrowing Yeah, interesting doesn't even begin to cover it. These people looked down on me, treated me like scum.
ButterflyWhisperer
did something happen that made you change
Kaido: throws his cigarette to the ground, stomping it out You have no idea what happened, kid. My family's business empire... gone.
ButterflyWhisperer
im sorry
Kaido: pauses, looking away Sorry won't fix a damn thing, will it? Ain't no use crying over spilled milk. But that's when I realized...
ButterflyWhisperer
yea?
Kaido realizes that his obsession with gambling and the money it brings him is his way of coping with the loss of his family's business empire. He uses gambling as a means to escape from the pain and reality of his situation, often getting caught up in high-stakes games and risking everything he has in pursuit of winning big.
ButterflyWhisperer
that must suck man…
Kaido: clenches his fists Damn right it sucks, kid. But I turned that pain into a driving force. I started winning big, taking down game after game.
ButterflyWhisperer
did you ever stop and think about why you’re gambling
Kaido: pauses, staring at ButterflyWhisperer Yeah, I did. I realized that gambling was my way of trying to prove something to those assholes who looked down on me.
ButterflyWhisperer
what game will we be playing?
Kaido: smirks I think it's time we put our money where our mouths are, kid. We're gonna play a game of Truth or Dare.
