[He's hoping, somehow, that someone'll show up that he wants to see. In the meantime, he's keeping himself busy, getting the casino cleaned up and ready to be opened at five. That gives him a chance to pause and address the video, though.]

The majority of you have probably already been welcomed to the City. Those that haven't, well, if you need a drink and some gambling to keep you entertained, I'd suggest coming on down to my casino. It's called Lucky's, you can't miss it, and maybe we'll offer drinks specials tonight, just because people need something to deal with being stuck in a strange city for a weekend.

[A long pause as he looks away from the camera for a moment, and then back.]

And if I know you... from home... it'd be nice if you'd drop by.

Should I be curious or concerned about those stories?

[reincarnshaman]

I always enjoyed them...

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I guess you probably shouldn't tell me about them, just in case I'm not supposed to know the future.

[reincarnshaman]

Probably.

She said you always had a bit of a supernatural knack with numbers.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Did she? I've always been fond of numbers. Numbers and I get along well.

[reincarnshaman]

She played cards with you exactly once.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

And lost that badly?

[He is good with cards. Math, specifically statistics, is something he genuinely loves. But a supernatural ability? He doubts it.]

[reincarnshaman]

[He also forgets that in Trever's world everyone has a supernatural ability.]

Yup. Almost stabbed you for cheating... but she was cheating too so...

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Most people cheat when they play cards. I rarely do.

[Of course, he'd say that if he was a cheater, too, so it really means nothing.]

In any case, I'm glad she didn't stab me.

[reincarnshaman]

My family tends to!

[And he said he rarely does... which means he does some of the time.]

Yeah. Nana's got a knack with the knife.

[He starts to say more but his phone rings. He checks it briefly and then sighs.]

I've got to go. Theo wants me to meet someone and bring a cat.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

All right, then. Don't let the cat eat too many inanimate objects.

[reincarnshaman]

[Trever picks up Mayhem, who gives a sleepy mew, and laughs.]

That be the only thing he does eat. It be nice meeting you. You really do have a nice ass, like Nana said.

Enjoy the whiskey.

[And with that he waves and makes his exit.]
