The Void
"Yeah, it is. And I've won some money and am quitting while I'm ahead while my luck's... actually good for once."

Amanda's not even looking at Bethany, still focused on the weird kid.

Loren hops off Amanda's shoulder and approaches the weird kid.

"Hey."

Amethyst just ignores what happened and goes back to gushing ove----
"No. Why would you start that again, stupid?" Nephrite said, before going back to gambling. Amethyst thinks nothing of that as she goes back to gambling too.
Viking Duck is back from Valhalla, and ready to take all the loot. Also, still a friend to animals.

"Hey."

As soon as she touches the kid, they start moving.

“AAAAAH!”

The kid realizes that Loren means no harm.

“Oh, sorry. Who are you?”

A dapper man wearing clock-lensed glasses, a derby, and brown attire was just looking at a watch and pacing back and forth.

He seems rather worried as he muttered, "This is not part of my schedule. This is not a part of my schedule. This is not a part of my schedule."

"I'm Loren," Loren says to the kid, waving a tiny otter paw. "Who are you?"

Amanda waves to the strange child.

"Are you okay? You were kind of... zoned out there for a while."

“Jake. Jake's my name.”

Watching the others talk to each other for a bit, the man nervously approached them and asked, "What is this place? Do you know where I am?"
Reply
"Hi, Jake. My name's Amanda."

She gave a friendly smile to the kid.

Loren waves to Jake - and the newcomer.

"Hey there new guy. You're in a casino, in some kinda world-shard of a city called 'Vegas', in some kind of Void."

Which must be pretty surreal to hear coming from a blue-furred otter.

Raising an eyebrow at his current situation, the man adjusted his glasses and began formulating a new schedule right on the fly. He may have wanted to card count at blackjack and rack up the money needed to escape, but he didn't want to be seen as a dirty crook at all. Alliances are crucial in this new world, and thus this otter must be befriended in order for him to survive.

"Huh. I see," replied the man as he glanced at his watch in order to calm down. "The name is Temple. Temple Fugate. Who are you?"

"My name's Loren," Loren says to Temple, now back up on Amanda's shoulder.

"A pleasure to meet you, Loren. Any idea on what to do here?"

"There's gambling, and, uh..." Loren trails off. After a few moments she shrugs. "I dunno, I've never been to a casino before.

"As for the Void as a whole, there's... a bunch of weird junk and no real rhyme or reason. People appear here because of flaws or something but I don't even know why I'm here. They can die if the Void itself decides they're irredeemable, but nobody seems to know how it figures that out."

"That's pretty scary," noted Temple. Despite the worry on his face, Temple tried his hardest to remain composed. "I'll think I'll play the slots for about an hour to take my mind off things."

Temple wandered over to a slot machine. Despite a few losses, he somehow caught onto the slots' patterns, winning jackpots each time. His extremely keen sense of timing had helped him out tremendously.

Ame and Neppy hear what's going on, and looks over to see the newcomer introducing themself to be Temple Fugate.

"Oh hey there, nice to see someone new to the Void. I'm Amethyst, and this here's my good friend Neppy."
"It's Nephrite, ya dummy. Get it right, stupid!"
"So, Temple, if you're here, then that means you're one of the universe's mistakes, like the rest of us!" Nep just facepalms at that. "Really?"
"Hey, you were deemed a mistake because you became too introverted for the universe to handle, ya shut-in!"
"............Can't argue with that. 'sides, you did kinda do me a favour with the whole 'destroying the mansion' thing, ya idiot."
"You're welcome!"

While playing the slot machines, Temple heard that he was a mistake just like the others around here. Amethyst must be mistaken, then. There's no way a brilliant mind like Temple could be considered a mistake. Such genius shouldn't be considered an error in the grand scheme of things, right?

Nervous as always, Temple stammered, "S-surely, you must be joking, yes?"
Reply
As Temple stammers, Maki pops up right behind him. A genius, hm? Well, you certainly seem like one! Personally, I say it's pretty glitched. No one here seems like a mistake! Well, except for that bee lady you might meet later, Bethany. If you asked me, I think she's trapping us here. But uh, please don't tell her I said that! She's very mean, and honestly? I think someone should deal with her...sorry for bothering you...

Temple accepted the apology as he scored yet another jackpot on the slot. Someone should clean up the pile of coins before they become a hazard.

"It's alright," explained Temple. "It's the fact that I'm not in my element right now that bothers me."
Reply
Maki pulls her own machine, and a couple of coins pour out. "Hmm...and what is your element, anyway? I understand you, you know! Honestly, doesn't seem like anyone else does here..."

"I'd say my element is time. I am the Clock King, you know. I do not manipulate time, but I can keep time more accurately than a watch."

"Mine is fire, obviously," says the otter-shaped dragon.

Maki restrains the urge to roll her eyes at the title. "Clock King". What the fuck. Man, this guy was fucking delusional, and she certainly knew delusional. Was this some kinda performance art thing? The fuck? That is an...interesting title! I love it! Why, what's the title for? You guys like elemental themes? They're great! Why, I did a whole gallery based on the collision of earth and water-it's a great medium to explore in sculpture! I did mention I was a sculptor, right? I'd love to do something for you!

Instead of saying anything, Amanda decided to just... demonstrate her ability, by turning her wavy blonde hair a vivid spring green.
