Plan Time: Pt 2

[crypddyd]

Everyone, I think it is time that we set our plans into motion. Please, gather at the Invidia mansion as soon as you are able.

[Though for how ominous that sounds, Lion himself isn't there? But there is a phone propped up on the table with a piece of paper under it: "turn me on~" If woken up, they will find that there's a facetime app running and Lion (and likely Ruin too) is on call. It's aimed at his shoulder rather than his face but he's trying!]

Ah- Sorry I can't join you all. Leaving this layer is a bit too much of a risk right now. But I believe last time we all gathered we largely agreed that attacking Greta's funds directly was our best course of action. Ruin has been working on earning a place at the- what was it called?

...

High Roller? Very Well. The High Roller tables- so if previous behavior is to be believed she should come to defend her title if he starts winning large amounts. I suggest we split into two teams- one team to cover and support Ruin as he does this. And one team to attack the bank. I... will not be able to join either side, as Greta may call me to her aid. So you may have to 'fight' me. If so, of course, I will throw any fight and look for a chance to aid you.

The question is this: who would like to do each role? We should likely nominate a leader for the bank team as well.

[Yeah he's absolutely leaning over Lion's shoulder, trying to redirect his horrible angle.]

If there's anyone that's really good at math or memorizing numbers I can teach you how to play black jack which will just be more funds building. The more I have to put down at a table the more uh.... intimidating I become~

Poker's a lot trickier and less sure fire and it's taken me weeks to get to the high roller's table. I dunno if it would really be feasible to get anyone else in at this point.

I'm good with memorization and numbers- you sort of have to be in medicine! [The difference between fifteen milligrams and fifty milligrams is, potentially, several years in jail for manslaughter. It's not the sort of thing you want to fuck up. Math doesn't come as easily to her as biology always has, but she's more than learned to be familiar with it by now.]

But, well... I'm not exactly very good with people, most of the time. [This is a plan that relies on unlife skills like "pretending to be normal" and "lying". She is not equipped for this.]

Thankfully, blackjack isn't you against other people, or at least, not in a way that requires bluffing. You can play it against the house just as well. It's--well, I'd say luck of the draw, but you can do the odds in your head, at least.

[heir_to_ruin]

Yeah it's all just a matter of keeping track of what's come out of the deck and what hasn't, doing the odds in your head as you play. The better you are at quick math the easier it is to estimate what you're likely to get. And what your opponents are likely to do.

I dunno, though... you might be too young for them to let you play.

[mementomoritz]

Hmm... well, they can't really prove I'm not an adult, can they? It's not like they've seen my medical records!

And I don't know exactly how old I am- judging by the proportions and bone structure, my guess is no older than seventeen and no younger than fourteen, but there's plenty of wiggle room in there! If I just make a very bad guess at how old I am, like twenty... that's not really lying, right? [She's wincing visibly at the thought of not giving a fully accurate report of her scientific observations of herself, but she soldiers on.] Sometimes people are wrong about things and that's not technically a lie. People can be wrong.
