This is Bodhi Rook if there's something I should know.

[The worst thing is the description doesn't sound totally alien. Only he doesn't have much hope of getting things back. There are just empty places he can identify and the ones he doesn't know to look for because the signposts are lost, too.

Realizing he's been neglecting the game, Bodhi spins quickly and lands another shin. The bad luck is a very mild punishment for not doing the one thing that's apparently helpful.]

Well, uh, if it's helping, I... don't have anything else planned.

[Talking isn't neglecting anything. It's probably good for Bodhi, even. The Soldier pushes their last ruby into the pot, spins... gimmel!

Which, it seems, will end this round of the game, since that's the last of Bodhi's rubies, and nothing left in the middle. Their prize "appears" when they lift the metal hand from the rubies to find the amount in the pile magically doubled. What consequence for Bodhi, hmm?]

[Bodhi sniffles suddenly, which is not among the afflictions he's prone to. He doesn't exactly take good care of himself; it's just that colds aren't the usual consequence. He doesn't quite connect the two, since it seems distinctly unmagical and isn't at all on the scale of his last price to pay.]

Well. Fun while it lasted.

[No memories, but it was nice to see Bodhi do something friend-like and not-nervous. The Soldier indicates their larger pile of rubies, now.]

Got a lot more betting pieces now. And more tea. If you want to play again.

[While the sense that he must be infringing on Soldat's time remains, he gives in without any further prodding.]

Yeah, let me get the kettle on again. I'll make a pot.
