OPEN POST ♞ HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO ME
WHO: Makoto Naegi and anyone else!
WHERE: Various parts around Recolle!
WHEN: 07/01
WHAT: What do you do after accidentally breaking your little brother's jaw............. wallow in guilt, that's what
WARNINGS:
ONE

WARNINGS:
Naegi really isn't the type to hang around bars. He's already learnt his lesson after Manon somehow managed to drag him into one last year and she forced him to drink till he was red in the face (he thinks he's a pretty forgiving person but damn... that's a hard one to pass), but sometimes... a drink does sound good.
Especially if you're drowning in guilt.
So when Naegi goes for his nightly visit to the local casino, rather than sitting at a poker table or the roulette, he finds himself sitting at the bar. It's a rare sight considering that he hardly ever goes near it whenever he's here but there he is... a drink in his hand and his head on the table. He can either be:
A) Not drunk (yet) because he hasn't really started drinking. He has his head down on the table because he feels so damn ashamed that he can't really lift up his head right now to look at anyone. The beer in his glass is still full and it looks like he's wallowing more than actually doing any drinking.
B) Already drunk. Luckily(?) for him, it doesn't really take much for him hit this point anyway. The one good thing about going out with Manon that night was that he knows what his limit is so he doesn't need to figure out what it'll take for him to become a little tipsy. Now the new reason why he has his head on the bar table is that he's lightheaded and red in the face. Getting up might be a mistake so he'll just stay here. And loiter, probably.

Pretty much the same prompt above but at a bar not inside the casino. Both options A and B are avilable as well! The only difference about this prompt (asides from the location) is that...
... there's a crane with him.
He couldn't leave it at home while he's out for the night. He possibly can't ask Daisuke to look after it, not after what happened a few hours earlier, so he brought it out with him. It occasionally pecks his head or pulls on his hair while his head is on the bar table but he doesn't do anything to stop it.
He's wallowing in guilt right now, crane, please leave him be.

Naegi knows that he has to go home eventually. He knows that running away does nothing and he has to face the truth but for this one night... he thinks he'll avoid going back.
He doesn't exactly have the money to rent a hotel room (well... maybe more like he doesn't want to spend the money for one) and he doesn't want to inconvenience his friends to ask if he can crash at their place. In fact, another reason why he doesn't want to contact his friends is that he doesn't want them to find out why he needs to be out of the apartment for tonight. It's already shameful enough for him to know what he did but it might be worse if others knew, so he decides that maybe walking around the city for the night will be a good idea. The only problem is that after hours of walking, sitting down on a random bench to rest...
... causes him to knock out.
Thankfully, the crane is with him so if anything happens, it would probably wake him up. Maybe... Quite possibly... Not really. It will just stand next to him as he sleeps sitting up and wouldn't really do anything if someone were to approach so if you were to draw on his face, take his wallet (spoilers: it's empty), or steal his shoe, it won't really do anything.
It's such a loyal bird.

[SOMEHOW...nanashi doesn't believe naegi at all. McNaegi, you seem suspicious.]
How often do you win? Can you make an estimate?
[DEETS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN]
no subject
[ he puts a hand to his chin and thinks. he doesn't particularly count every time he wins. he just totals his total earnings at the end of the night but if he had to pick a percentage... ]
... maybe 75% of the time? It depends on the night and what I'm playing.
no subject
[75% rate is pretty good considering all things related to rngs. Nanashi thinks that Naegi might not be bluffing about his luck anymore. ]
Poker? Slot machines?
no subject
[ which are kind of boring but his luck still works on them occasionally ]
It's kind of hard to bet against people if they're not there.
no subject
[No point in doing two player luck based games when your opponent doesn't exist.]
I hear some crazy people make huge profits off casino gambling. I can't even imagine what that's like.
no subject
[ though after a certain conversation at the casino bar, he thinks he has found some new motivation to start learning. ]
Ah, but I have a friend who's pretty good! And he relies purely on skill.
no subject
[WHAT WIZARDRY IS THIS.]
I thought gambling didn't discriminate and it's an asshole to everyone.
[THIS IS NEWS TO HIM.]
no subject
[ naegi isn't as particularly skilled with this, but it is something that he's learning to do ]
A lot of it is playing with both the cards you have and the opponents you're up against.
no subject
[He gives you this dead eye stare.]
Hey. McNaegi. Are you friends with a guy named Ishimaru?
no subject
[ one of naegi's good gambling pals ]
Did you already meet him?
no subject
[GAMBLING BUDDIESS..]
He was really enthusiastic about gambling.
no subject
Yeah, Kiyotaka can be really intense when it comes to gambling. If you have any questions about gambling in general, you're probably better off asking him than me.
He's more like an expert and I just get lucky breaks here and there.
no subject
You two are that close, huh?
[Nanashi laughs like its some kind of joke.]
no subject
[ at least naegi thinks so. ]
But really? He recommended me?
no subject
[He pats you on the shoulder.]
Am I old enough to walk into a casino with you?
[CAN THEY FUDGE IT AND GO INSIDE? ]
no subject
Uh, well... I guess if I say that I'm your guardian, you should be able to. You just won't be able to gamble or drink.
no subject
I'm in your care McNaegi.
[He pinches Naegi's side gently. ]
no subject
D-Do you really have to keep calling me, McNaegi...?
no subject
[He tries to pinch you again, Naegi.]
I think it's perfect for you.
no subject
W-Why do you keep trying to pinch me as well?!
no subject
[HE PINCHES EVERYONE, GOD.]
Plus you deserve it, I think.
[NO HE DOESN'T.]
no subject
What did I do to deserve this?!
no subject
I dunno? Exist? Be McNaegi?
[He's going for another pinch. BYE.]
no subject
H-Hey, if you keep treating me like this, I'm not going to take you to the casino.
