Looking good, Phaia!<br/><br/>I'm thinking maybe we need some romance and sex... or at least the facsimile of romance and the deceptive promise of sex. :)<br/><br/>This might be a good hook for the dynamic between Benny and Blake, who otherwise won't know each other directly. See what you think: Benny will seek to play on her (Mary's) lust for riches - an appetite that the roulette wheel has already whetted - to bring her in as a decoy for the casino-cheating scheme, and in the bargain will be deploying his native charm and sexual magnetism (which in his own estimation is considerable -- maybe she's into that, or maybe just pretends to be due to the promise of a big score). Blake, meanwhile, is kinda sweet on her -- though too taciturn to show it? -- which should help sharpen his suspicions of Benny and aid him in uncovering the nature of Quitero's latest scheme.<br/><br/>I'm not too sure who's starting out with the loaded dice at this point and why?<br/><br/>(Oh, incidentally: having the guns on a motorized float decorated with ostrich feathers? Fucking genius. :) Love it!)
