Action

[Whose that dashing guy at one of the bars? Why it's Angelo of course, who may or may not be trying to rope people into playing cards with him. Solitaire? Black Jack? Poker? You name it, he knows them. He might also be trying to cause a bar fight or two out of boredom, since really why not make this boring village a little more exciting? After that nonsense however, he might trying this same stunt in other cafes, the tea shop, any place with people really.]

Video

[After the shenanigans of the day, Angelo hits the journals for a long needed talk to the villagers.]

You know this town is rather simple in nature, I'd say it very much matches my own hometown of Simpleton. So I suggest we ask these Malnosso fellows for a casino, I'm sure that'd lighten up the place. Maybe we could bring in a few pleasure houses as well for all you lonely people out there. Why not spice up this town and make it less dull? I think it'd be rather fun if you ask me.

That's correct. It's full of them too.

[He's mostly cracking a joke, but it's true.]

Oh...

Well, if you're that bored, you could try the Battle Dome.

[Because fighting's always on her mind.]

And get all sweaty? Ew no thank you. I've had my fill of fighting back home.

Well, you can do other things besides fighting. People have made other simulations, such as a ball room.

[...Light bulb.]

So I could bring a casino in.

[...Question mark.]

...What’s a casino?

You don't know what a casino is? My lady, you have not lived. It's a beautiful place to make gold of course.

[She has not lived? Well, it just might be true.]

Gold? There’s nothing I could use gold for.

Of course there is! You get prizes when you turn it in. By the Goddess, you really need to learn about the ways of the casino.

[She has a lot more to learn than that. And even if she learns, there’s no telling if it’ll keep her interest.]

...Really? What sort of prizes?

Weapons, armor, more gold, anything you can think really. Rich people have too much wealth so they give it out as prizes.

We don’t need gold to get weapons here. Everything is free.

I've learned that, which is ridiculous. How does your economy stay alive? I'm waiting for buildings to come crumbling down.

There...is no economy? I don’t think the buildings will come down. Even if they do, the Malnosso repair them within a few days.

That's crazy talk. Whoever heard of buildings repairing themselves?

Perhaps no one. But Luceti is different from any place we’ve been to before. Anything that may seem impossible...is possible.

And what exactly does that mean?

...Exactly what it sounds like?

I mean how does a place bring the impossible to a reality?
