If I win 8 million at the casino and leave immediately, what will be the consequences?

If you’re leaving immediately, then I’m assuming that you’re not stopping to cash any chips. That means that either the money is already in your account because you’re playing an on-line machine, or you’ve had a payout in cash. It’d be very hard for you to get far with two million quarters. Someone might help you or you might drop a few on the way. You’re also expected to tip the staff, but that depends if you’ve availed yourself of their services. They’ll certainly attempt to congratulate you if they find out. You can leave a bit more anonymously if you’ve been using a video machine, though there’s also the chance that it’s notified someone and they can follow you via the security cameras. You can perhaps expect some sort of hired goon to follow and stop you until they’ve engaged with you, unless you’ve physically left the chips on the table.

Visitors #warwick 23

What are all these people doing here? There’s so many of them. Some of them do help out. They mainly wear black or traditional dress and walk around slowly and purposefully leaving feed in bowls hidden from the eyes of others and carrying tools. Sometimes they ride around in shiny boxes carrying their equipment. The others park their boxes in a cluster outside of the green. Some of them work slow and build smaller carts for their young charges while others march purposefully in front of others, either to beat the queues or show their eagerness to explore. It’s these ones that look around then disappear at the end of the day, never to be seen again or at least for a long time. But when I give them the feather and show them my arse they love it and take loads of pictures. At least it encourages them to buy my merchandise from the shop.

Keeping Time

These timers have shrunk a bit. I suppose that it’s partly to save on the cost of producing plastic and partly because the technology has moved on and everything is being controlled by smart speakers and phones. Upon first use, I thought it would be really tough to use because I couldn’t push any of the time segments down. Then I discovered that they came pre-pressed. The smaller scale of the dial markers makes the time segments difficult to view. It’s also difficult to view the time needle, but if you’ve used one before then you don’t really need to read the instructions. There’s also a simple override switch for those times when you want on for a bit longer without having to re-program it. And there’s not much point in using it for anything other than a lamp, unless you were going to rig up something technical for a trap.

Peacocking #warwick 22

I wonder if they know their fate; that the lord of the land just waits for them to gain some weight before they pluck and cook them? Do they not know that they will be hunted at some point? If they see their mate go under the knife, will they attempt to defend them or attempt to hide or escape before they go the same way? What’s this one doing? At the moment, it’s unsure. It’s keeping its eye on the situation while planning an escape route at the same time. If it was me, I’d go into battle to get revenge, though I’d want to strike when no-one’s looking. I’d just keep jumping up to peck them without quitting and I wouldn’t give them the chance to arm themselves. If I needed a break, I’d put my feathers up. I’d never trust another human again. I’d rather steal from their food supply than use any bowls left out for me.

Christmas Bumps #dreamdiary 186

It’s an early sunny Christmas Day morning. I’m off to the other side of town to see the family. There’s a blue Volkswagen bug parked outside the house that I’ve never seen before but it’s not blocking the driveway. I back my car out, but I accidentally tap it. I have to stop and pull up to see if a mark has been left. A woman dressed in white is inside with her two children.  They get close as I back up and try and line up my car on the other side of the driveway. I can see that their boot is filled with presents. How long have they been sitting inside? I’m about to give a bad start to someone’s Christmas. Hopefully there’s no visible damage and I can get away with swapping insurance details and that’ll be the end of it, though it’ll probably have to be reported. She doesn’t look happy though.

Winging It #warwick 21 #sherduck 22

Buttons managed to find the desk sergeant in a matter of moments. What they could not locate was where the key was for the locker. It had been registered to Sherduck when he was thrown into the cell but they didn’t have a record of who signed him in or out since he’d been up to these antics before and they didn’t want to bring it to the attention of the superintendent. What they did have was a rather out-of-focus CCTV camera which triggered a separate investigation of how long it had been like that for and whether anyone had reported it to the maintenance team. When they’d rewound the footage back to the moment it was working correctly, it showed a tall black swan swatting it with its wings while being dragged towards a cell. It wasn’t a great lead but it was the only chance that they had at the time and because the quackademy taught them that they weren’t allowed to believe in coincidences they followed it up and circulated Drowser’s description.

 

Stud Squad #vampress 21

The vampress sighed. These little people were very good at pampering her. They’d bring food which she’d either swallow whole or slit open with her fingernails to suck the blood out of them, or the occasional outside witness which would either be drained and persuaded or disposed of depending upon their status and how much meat they carried. But what she really needed was…satisfaction. Occasionally a horse would be brought in to attempt to fill her needs but she could only get a quick go before the beast was startled and panicked itself to death despite however many tried to hold it down. What she really wanted was to be loved. She’d need to train a special team to attend to all of her sensitive areas. So she began to train a group of young men to transform into hunks. They’d be fed the finest meats then put through a strict exercise routine to ensure that they would perform.
