“…Oh? I did not think I would have the good fortune to be graced by your presence, Mr Aventurine.”
That was not a friendly voice. Neither was it a familiar face, but a gigantic machine.

Looking up to the source of the voice, the gambler found himself… utterly perplexed. Yes, in a place like this, anything was possible. But, a gigantic machine like this seemed… a bit much.
“… and it seems I myself have the misfortune of meeting a masked acquaintance. Who are you?”
Gone were his usual whims and joys, replaced with stone cold doubt. He simply stared with a sense of hesitance, and the feeling of being in danger. It was nothing new, but highly unpreferred.

"It has been quite the while, hmm? I'm glad to see you're still around, dear."
Taking his hat off, he smiled in turn. Placing it against his chest, he tilted his head curiously.
"I'm glad this place is treating you well, dear! I myself have taken up a habit of exploring, it's quite fun! If you have the time, why don't we explore together?"
“My my, well would you look at that? The caged bird really does sing!”
Leaning over the railing, a coin with a dove engraved on it fell from gloved fingers, landing in front of the singer and glistening in the sunlight. The blonde hummed, fully extending his hand to his teammate below.
“Miss Robin! It’s been a while. Honey darlin’, how have you been?”

At first, her attention went to the coin that fell in front of her, going to pick it up, but, soon enough, upon recognizing from who that voice was, Robin looked up, the same soft smile of always appearing onto her face once again.
❝Mr. Aventurine! It has really been a long time...I wasn't expecting to see you in here too!❞
She exclaimed, first, her brother was there, and now, Aventurine too? This manor surely had more people that she already knew than she thought at first...
❝I could say i have been good, while i am still getting a hang of this place, it doesn't seem to be that bad...But what about you? How have things been?❞

Aventurine was resting on a couch near a window that shows the full moon on the sky. The floor was empty — a perfect place for some alone time honestly… until a woman with a short blue hair and blue … butterfly wings, suddenly sat on the opposite side of Aventurine with her legs crossed together and smiling.
“Greetings~ would you care to have a small chat with me, clover boy~”
@ask-the-chief-heads
The young man paused as he glanced down at the blue haired lady curiously. Then, he busted out into roaring laughter, unable to contain the sudden amusement.
“…bwahaha! Clover boy? My, that’s certainly a new one…”
Carefully tilting his head aside, he viewed this new stranger through his rose covered lens. Then, chuckling, he responded.
“Sure, why not. Whatever could you have to talk about with little old me, miss?”

SENDS 2 BILLION FIREWORKS IN YOU GUYS DIRECTION 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Tumblr media
“… whAT IN THE SWEET BABY JESUS IS THAT-“
Topaz ducks in panic, watching as the fireworks fly past her… striking the hunter variant of her coworker in the back, blowing him up and stunning him.
“….oh!”
———
Pausing, Aventurine blinked slowly. Looking into the dream’s sky, he blinked again. Grumbling, he rubbed his back with a wince.
“… why does my back hurt? I didn’t even DO anything??”

Leaning over slowly, the man pushed himself off the ledge, landing gracefully on the floor beneath him with a hard ‘thud’ sound. Standing up straight, he clicked his heels together before elegantly bowing to Firefly.
“Your humble servant “Aventurine,” at your disposal. Miss Stellaron and that web stellaron hunter both talk fondly about you, Miss Firefly, if you were worried who I heard of you from.”
Then, the gambler stood up straight, chuckling. Taking off his hat and holding it to his chest, he hummed.
“You’re really important to both of them. I’m glad we had the opportunity to meet, even if it was just by chance.”
Carelessly throwing his legs over the nearby railing, the gambler snickered a moment before tossing a coin down. It soared through the sky for a brief moment, before knocking the young stellaron hunter on the head gently, before dissipating into golden dust before her eyes.
"Oh, hello down there, dollface! Oh, look who it is... little miss stellaron mecha, I've heard quite a bit about you... who thought I'd get to meet you in the flesh? Flesh? Metal? Fire? Whichever you prefer, haha!"

[ Firefly aimlessly swatted at her head, confused to find nothing physically there, and even more confused to see what had hit her dissipate in front of her very eyes. Was that.. a coin? Were coins supposed to do that? If it were anywhere else? Probably not. But who knows, maybe this strange manor held mysterious disappearing coins. ]
“… Huh?”
[ With her surprise guest’s voice breaking her out of her confused thoughts, she slowly raised her head. With a squint, it became clear to her that she had no idea who this very flashy person was. Usually, this wouldn’t be too much of an issue… if it wasn’t for him apparently already having heard about her. Now that might be an issue. Fighting the urge to grimace, Firefly maintained her distance, only narrowing her eyes instead. ]
“… Flesh, flesh works fine.”

How’s your stay in the manor been? Met any interesting folks?
Tumblr media
“It’s a high risk high reward system, darlin’! I’ve explored many of these hidden halls, learned many secrets and even more. Of course, I’ve seen many different people from different walks of life. And I feel so lucky to walk the same roads they walk now.”
Tapping his fingers against his lips, he hummed softly as he thought about it.
“Interesting people… I’ve seen a few. Of course, I feel like I’ve divulged enough intel… so, why not give me some of yours first, friend?”

Any favorites in the manor so far?
A brief mention of touching/dissecting eyes under the cut and brief thoughts/remarks of nihilism and questioning reality.
Tumblr media
Favorites? Well, that was an interesting question indeed.
“Hmm… well, there was that kind doctor who escorted me upon my arrival. His name was… Daniel Dickens, I believe? Strong fascination with my eyes too. Running his fingers along the sides of my eye sockets, deeply complimenting every colored ring in my eyes…”
Placing his hands along the rims of his eyesockets, he paused. He blinked slowly, once, twice, and a third time.
“He asked me if he could have one of them. To see what laid behind such odd pupils. I considered it, for a moment. Everything reaches the same conclusion in the end, so the middle man in and of itself is pointless, no?”
“Oh, and then there is that odd fellow. I believe his name was… Luca? He is an eccentric fellow, a man of integrity and passion, whose luck has fallen hard. Yet, despite it all, he rises above it all.”
Placing a hand on his chin, he mumbled to himself. Squinting his eyes, he spoke softly.
“Of course, there is the doctor, and my dearest colleagues. While they are not here with me in this manor… I can’t help but miss them dearly. So, I feel drawn to those of remind me of them.”

Is there any particular game modes you enjoy?
Tumblr media
Humming softly as he swirled the champagne glass, he raised his arm, resting behind the back of the couch. Staring down at the drink, he chuckled a bit.
“I quite do enjoy that card game… what did they call it? Was it blackjack? I do enjoy the thrill of the game, the luck of the draw and the best of bets. Although, when I lose the bet and draw the highest amount of cards… that’s when things become interesting.”
A silvery smile formed on his face as a green and golden mask reflected in the surface of the champagne.
“A black fog clouds my vision, and I feel… almost as if I were floating above the ground. And everyone else, when they see me… they run. And it baffles me, I don’t understand why.”
Scowling, he shook his head, before looking at his hands. His normally black glove covered hands glistened in the moonlight, golden claws shining in the light. His hands shook slightly as his eyes darted away. To anywhere but there.
“It’s only ever happened to me once, though. Normally, I’m lucky enough to avoid having the highest amount. Usually, I’m the first to earn 21 points! But, when it did, things got bad. Golden coins rained from the sky, and torn string littered the floor. There was a rich feeling in the air. Like copper… or iron. And everyone else was gone. And I was alone.”
Then, pausing a moment, he raised the glass up, gently clinking it against his guest’s own. Smiling, he laughed.
“The dean of the manor visited me shortly after this particular game of blackjack. He told me that I was something special, some unique. A wild card ability. Then, he suggested a game mode he called… duos? I believe. He has me scheduled to experience it tonight, although he did mention I would be with one other teammate… odd. From what the other survivors have told me, shouldn’t there be eight of us?”
“I’ll let you know how I fare once it’s over, dollface.”

do you ever wonder about your life? Hm… What’s a moment you cherish?
— 🦋
Tumblr media
"I think it's only natural to wonder about the unknown. And wonder about what could have been, wondering if things could have been different."
Leaning his hand on his chin, the gambler sighed. His eyes glossed over as he gazed at the dream's starry night sky.
"A memory I cherish? Hmm... well, there was that hotel adventure with my... friend... it was terrifying within the moments but I... I really cherish being able to spend time with him like that."
Tumblr media
...
"Don't tell him I said that though, that's embarrassing to admit."

Is there a hunter you find it especially hard to go agaisnt? Which one?
Tumblr media
“I think his name is… Jack?”
Tapping his chin, Aventurine tilted his head. Then, spreading out his hand, he swung it in front of him.
“The one who attacks us with the fog… that’s not fair at all! And it hurts! He ruined my brand new coat with that hat trick. Bitchass.”

What's your favorite food? And is there any you don't really like?
Tumblr media
Blinking slowly, the gambler paused.
“I really like marshmallows. They’re soft, squishy, and delicious. And small. Jade doesn’t notice when I take a few.”
Then, rubbing his chin, he made a face of disgust.
“I hate the way pork smells and tastes. Oh, and I DESPISE cheese. I always try and tell Jade, it’s a texture thing, but nOoOo-“
