Yes!

[ Izuku points out a banana tile, then another flipped over. ]

And then...here and here.

[blastedass]

[Banana and topaz, yellow for yellow. Good match. Katsuki nods and slides the ticket into place.

The other two choices get the last two tickets and Katsuki hits the button to trigger the selection.

The tiles flash before flipping over. 5 out of 5 correct. Payout is 25 tickets, netting them a 20+ their original pot.]

[defendure]

[ They've got about, oh...2120 from their efforts today so far? ]

Sometimes I think you really are some god's favorite.

[blastedass]

[Well on their way, so long as their luck on gambling big doesn't run out.]

Heh! I don't need some damn god's help. We owned this board on our own memory!

[Katsuki throws a sidelong smirk at his boyfriend.]

Wanna make it cry?

[defendure]

[ Don't let Izuku roll the dice and it might just work... ]

Does that mean bet an even bigger amount?

[blastedass]

[No worries about that, since this if more keeping track of tile placements and what's on them, with no dice involved anywhere.]

Yeah. Try ten this time.

[defendure]

We should divide the board in half between us to memorize maybe - no, I guess we might need to discuss too much after...

[ He can't help strategizing though. ]

[blastedass]

We'll have to keep track of the tiles we memorize when they rearrange themselves...

[But he's not disagreeing with the strategy. It'll be easier to keep track and memorize ten rather than try to absorb all twenty.]

[defendure]

Yeah, but that does give us less to memorize and makes our chances of knowing where they go better, right?

[ And that way there's no overlap. Or less. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah. You take the right ten and I'll take the left.

[Katsuki slips in ten tickets this time, from the twenty they just got, and the game lights up once more. The tiles flip over, revealing the gems and fruits with their specific colors. Seven gems and seven fruits, each sharing one of the seven colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink. Gives them the same short time period to look over the tiles...

and then flips the tiles back down before shuffling them around on the surface. Lines light up between them like a roulette table, letting them place their ticket counters on the board as they want.]

[defendure]

[ Izuku puts down some tickets on matches in his specific tiles, then lets Katsuki do the same... ]

Red tile over here! [ Then it's matching the tiles between them. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki quickly traces his memory of the tile's positions and their movements before putting the ticket where the red tile Izuku mentioned now matches the red fruit on his side. Good, that'll give them a bonus.]

The lemon's right here. [And taps (without touching) the tile near Izuku's side.] Did you follow where the topaz went?

[defendure]

[ Izuku hits the topaz immediately with a ticket. ]

Ok, um - I saw the citrine gem over here - ?

[blastedass]

Shit, the orange is over here. They won't match.

[Katsuki scowls at the tiles, but with three confirmed matches and time running out, that might be their best play rather than risking a mistake in a panic.]

[defendure]

What about blue?

[ He points to it, deciding to spend the remainign time trying anyway. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki frowns, scanning over the blank backs of his tiles. Blue... where'd the fucking blueberry go? It was in the middle, but then it moved... to... no that's... fuck!]

This one's grape. Where's your purple?

[defendure]

Purple...purple...

[ At a few seconds to go, Izuku points to ticket it. ]

[blastedass]

[And TIME'S UP!! Katsuki snarls and lowers his hand.

The tiles flip themselves over and all three of their matches were right, sending out another 25 tickets as a reward.]

Payout today doesn't suck.

[defendure]

Hm...if we keep this up we just need to play, uh...about 37 more times.

[ ...or so. ]

[blastedass]

Unless we up the amount of tickets we wager.

[They can play it safe for a long time and eek their way up to the prize, or play more risky and run the chance of losing.]

[defendure]

I'm willing if you are!

[ There isn't really a time limit to when they need the tickets. Well, if they spend a lot of time on games laser tag may be out of the question. ]

[blastedass]

Let's do it!

[Slap down those tickets! 50 this time! Considering the storm on its way and the fact the arcade's open till 10pm, they got plenty of time to hit up laser tag once they've won the Big Slime.]

[defendure]

Shouldn't we do something for luck?

[ Like a handshake or cheer. ]

[blastedass]

Like what? We didn't the first two times.

[He's never seen Izuku do something for luck before anyways.]

[defendure]

Um, I don't know. In movies sometimes gamblers have little rituals and it seems fun?

[ So he thought they should come up with something just to play pretend, essentially. ]
