[The face is young, and in this timeline looks young, if a bit more hard done by. Is a clearly repeatedly-broken nose with a smile a good trade for one janky finger and a constant cringe of exhausted terror? In a cabin full of battered, aged metal with its exact purpose hard to pin down, he leans back unwisely in a chair and shuffles a pack of cards with inscrutable symbols on them.]

Today's lesson, my friends, is bottom dealing without being too damn obvious about it.

[The shuffle is skillful and showy, itself probably a distraction.]

Refer to previous lessons in stacking the deck, unless this is a much longer con, or getting run out of bars is your hobby, I'm not judging. Good cardio. Now, if you're playing with decent card sharks, this is a waste of your time, stick to card counting, but we're talking about fools and their money and preferably not a boot up your ass. And don't give yourself a perfect hand every time. Dipshit. Now, here's the trick. Going slow so you can see it.

[And so goes the cheating tutorial.]

[Bodhi pops up in the bar all the time, occasionally in the casino, delighted by all the shiny apparatus for gambling without money, practicing new tricks and occasionally maybe taking something apart to figure out how to rig it, because he lacks impulse control. He completely ignores his custodial work, but is happy to carry a broom around while he pesters people. His obnoxious cheer isn't usually undirected, though. He drags Freeza after him everywhere he can, trying to give the boss the kick in the tail he needs for this reform stuff.]

[Marty watches him carefully.]

You're damn good at that. But, unfortunately, of little use in most of my circumstances. The ones I'm up against know every trick already.

I'm usually the one who's trying to get away with shit, but point taken. Have you done that before?

You always have to have an exit strategy.

Does being obvious or not really matter?

[ Chin propped up by an elbow on the table. And of course he can say that; he would just do poorly to start a fight if bored enough. ]

When it comes to gambling, the best way not to lose is not to play.

[ Dorian has no idea what's going on. Granted, that's nothing new for him. But usually it's easier to find out what's going on than it is now. He also explores all the various places, getting the lay of the land, when he spots Bodhi in the casino, taking apart one of the machines. ]

I hope you know how to put it back together, [ he muses, eyebrow raised as he gives the broken machine a once-over. ] I doubt people would enjoy something in multiple pieces.
brushoff: (oooh guuuurl)

[personal profile] brushoff 2021-10-19 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
True. But I'd still feel cheated if someone told me to pick a card randomly from a deck if I then learned that five of those cards were missing. Fairness is a thing as well.
brushoff: (let's talk about BOOKS.)

[personal profile] brushoff 2021-10-22 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, [ Dorian chimes in, mimicking Bodhi's tone of voice. ]

You may not know this, but I am quite petty.

Okay, uh, well, is this the time to tell you that you don't say that shit to an agent of a governing body that also has to report you by fucking mandate?
