The casino floor hummed with the low thrum of a typical day. Amidst the clatter of chips and distant chatter, a familiar ensemble gathered: Benny, Eddie, Bones, Cecilia, Cobyn, Elise, Maneki, Rook, Poppy, C.D., Sandbag, Sailor, Vega, and Vincent. While some engaged in lively banter and others lost themselves in games, you remained apart, seated near a counter, eyes scanning documents. A glance upward revealed the scene: Benny fuming over poker losses to a smug Bones, while Cecilia and Elise conversed nearby, and Vega and Vincent smoked in quiet camaraderie, the rest scattered in the background.
