14th Elevator-Voice/Written

[honeytoes]

[ Gary is currently standing in the lobby. Behind him is a familiar looking whiteboard and on the table next to him is a jar and a notebook. He'd have asked M to borrow the deathmatch again but since he hadn't heard from her in a while he wasn't going to try and overstep his boundaries and just assume it was alright to use it again...it wouldn't feel right.]

Ok people...get ready to raid your piggy banks because it's time to liven things up around here and start the second ever Paradisa betting pool. For those of you who weren't here for the first one. I'll go over the rules in a bit. Needless to say the last one won one hundred and ten caisos went to a very worth winner...namely me.

And regarding any potential "Karmic backlash" argument just remember two things. One I'm hosting this thing so chances are if anybody's going to get screwed it's going to be me.  Secondly things are already pretty fucked up here...how much worse can this place actually get in the end? And at least this way we can get fucked and make money.

Anyway if you're interested in playing either come down to the lobby or let me know over the journal network.

[ The following gets written in the journal network.]

The Rules
1) Bets are taken on the first castle wide incident of October
2) Bets are between ten and a hundred Caisos maximum. Once an offer is down it can't be removed from the table.
3) Bets can be put in between now and whenever the first event hits the castle.
4) In the event of there being no winner for October, bets will be rolled over into the month of November. The option is available for those who want to change their bets.

What, you're betting on how the castles going to ruin our lives next?

[honeytoes]

That's the plan.

It's capitalism at its finest.

[schrodingersghost]

...Are you sure capitalism includes gambling?

[honeytoes]

Profiting from the misery of others?

Yeah I'd say it qualifies.

[mal_addict]

You know I'm always interested in this.

I'll put twenty on pumpkins with intoxicating effects.

[honeytoes]

Ah Mal...I can always rely on you to help get the party started.

Good choice by the way.

[mal_addict]

I like to think I have something of a duty here.

Thank you, I thought so too.

[honeytoes]

Well somebody's got to show the kids here how it's done.

[bronwe]

Thirty-three caisos on hooded men with sharp blades chasing us about.

[ Getting personal? Maybe. ]

[honeytoes]

Grim but always a possibility around this place.

What's your name little buddy?

[bronwe]

Frodo. Frodo Baggins.

And you?

[honeytoes]

Gary Sitterson

[It still felt weird not putting "Chief control room technician" at the start of his name but he was more then that now.]

Nice to meet you.

[molotov]

[Well, there's at least something a little interesting here.]

100 caisos on enchanted candy.

[honeytoes]

[He whistles.]

Hey big spender.

And what name is this going under?

[molotov]

Molotov Cocktease. I will put more down if you are taking multiple bets.

[honeytoes]

[He coughs...mainly to mask a laugh. Hey he's never met Molotov before and he's basically a big middle aged child.]

Uh thanks but we'll settle with the one for now.

Maybe I'll introduce multiple bets the next time.

[both_neither]

Well, I guess it's one way to fill time...

Fifteen caisos on something to do with werewolves.

[honeytoes]

Well it's one of the more healthier alternatives.

You got a name bud?

[both_neither]

Well, I didn't say I didn't do any of those things too. [Hooray functional alcoholism]

And the name's Gren.

[thebestseller]

50 caisos on everyone getting stuck in cheap Halloween costumes. Sheet ghosts, cardboard box robots, slapping-together-whatever-you-have-in-your-closet type things.

[honeytoes]

Smart move keeping it seasonal.

[thebestseller]

Either that or I'm stupidly tempting fate and daring the castle to have Easter in October or something.

[samson]

Yeah, alright. Twenty-five on a Headless Horseman kind of thing.

[honeytoes]

Ok that's cool...going for a Legend of Sleepy Hollow thing.

Alright...what's the name?

[samson]

Brock Samson.

Are you getting in on this?
