The Koromo was loud. That’s all Eva could process upon first waltzing through the door like a child at a festival. She could make out the sounds of cards being shuffled, coins hitting surfaces, marbles clacking against wood, and the ever present cacophany of gamblers and the employees who oversaw them. It was overwhelming to say the least. But Eva had come here determined to have fun and that’s exactly what she’d do!
Chips clacked against one another in her coat pocket. There were quite a few, though she had no idea how much they were worth. The person who’d given them to her simply said “enough for a grand time,” whatever that meant. It had been as thanks for helping stop a would-be thief from running off with the man’s precious coin purse. She’d happily taken them after he’d explained where to go. Now here the Shifter was, sliding her cane against the ground until she reached what someone told her was the front counter. They led her to a table and placed her in a chair, indicating the people near her.
She offered a wide grin and then tilted her head toward where the front desk helper had told her the dealer was. “Sorry to be a bother, but my vision isn’t so great. Is there some type of setup for blind people or do I just wing it? I got these chips, but not sure how much they’re worth.” As she spoke, Eva reached into her coat pocket, grabbing as many chips as her small hand could collect and plopped them on the table. The murmur at the table ceased before turning into excited whispers. Okay, so a lot…I guess?
