Yvette's super fun spy simulator: Session II

[idolpro]

Objective: Convince Yvette to leave the Ideal World.
The following is ICly known:

• Unit abilities are off
• Yvette is actively trying to sabotage players
• One tactic is making interaction "pay for play," using memories, specifically those of Yvette. (max 5)
• False memories will not be accepted as Payment.
• Alternate Payment is negotiable, but will also result in forgetting what is paid (roll 1d6 with a score of 4 or higher for an accepted alternate payment)
• Use of force is highly inadvisable, and the condition for success is extremely low. Failure will result in a false memory.
• Your smartphone works, and can be used to document inconsistencies in the Ideal World.

tl;dr The more evidence you collect, the more convincing you are; memories can be used to fast track, but if they run low, you get mindfucked.
All things lost or received during the game will be reversed upon waking or within one IC day, at player’s discretion. The character does not know this ICly.

Pity.

Who's your boss now? Or in customer service terms, can I speak to your manager?

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

She nods in understanding.

"You're not ready to meet the Manager yet."

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Oh? What do I need to do to clear that hurdle?

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

"Clear the appropriate assessments, of course. You read the introduction, didn't you?"

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see.

One moment.

[Well then, don't mind his as he wanders around to casino looking for either a) a piano or b) a deck of playing cards]

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

There are no pianos in the casino, but there are plenty of decks on the card tables.

There is nothing else in or around the card tables or equipment. Nothing will happen if they're touched or tampered with, they'll simply reform.

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well, so much for the stealth casino sabotage. But he comes back with the deck of cards. Shuffling them casually]

So. I've seen you practicing some magic tricks for the guests.

You show me one on yours. And I'll show you one of mine.

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

"Please go right ahead. I'll go after you."

Like for like is a fair trade, after all, and she does love skills quite a bit.

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He places his modified taser gun on the table and takes the Ace of diamonds from the deck and holds it between two fingers]

Try to shoot me.

This is an escape artist trick.

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

Without hesitation, she grabs the gun and tries to pull the trigger.

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Please enjoy a reply of the second gif where Kaiba uses the card to jam the hammer and prevent the gun from firing.

(Please also enjoy the third gif where he takes the card back and then throws the gun away).

Sorry if you were hoping for anything sane or useful]

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

Her eyes light up as she sees what's happening. Yes! Amazing! Wonderful! She applauds in delight.

"What a wonderful trick!"

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Shoves the other 51 cards in her direction]

Always keep one card up your sleeve.

Your turn.

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

"It's fine, I have my own..."

Her deck is resting on the bar, and she shuffles it, cuts it, and fans it out for him.

"Please select a card and memorize it."

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He picks the same card. Ace of Diamonds]

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

She squares up the deck and sets it on the bar between them.

"When you're finished, return the card to the deck and shuffle it as many times as you'd like."

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[He places it in the center and shuffles thoroughly]

Don't forget to cut.

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

She shuffles the deck and cuts it once, twice, and three times. When she spreads the deck out on the table, it's in perfect sequential order, but the Ace of Diamonds is missing.

"Ah... excuse me..."

She walks a few yards over to the bar refrigerator, and fetches a bucket of lemons.

"Pick a lemon."

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

... A lemon.

[But sure.

He upends the whole bucket so he can pick the one at the very bottom, spilling the rest on the floor]

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

She doesn't seem to notice or care about the lemons tumbling all over the place. It's Fine.

The lemon you select does not appear to be tampered with in any way, shape or form. It is just an ordinary lemon. She hands you a knife.

"Please cut it open for me."

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Slices it mostly evenly down the middle]

Why a lemon of all things?

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

"It adds to the suspense, don't you think?"

As you cut through the lemon, it hits something. In the middle is your card, folded neatly into quarters. Upon pulling the card from the citrus, your mind is filled with the knowledge of how the trick is performed, and you're confident your fingers have the deftness to replicate it perfectly.

[[ +2 bonus to any rolls related to dexterity i.e. lock-picking, sleight of hand, or theft ]]

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[There's just a hint of a smile, clearly amused as he pulls out the card and pockets it.

And then hands her the rest of the lemon]

Lemonade, if you would. No added sugar.

Re: Casino Party!

[tradesecret]

Well, it's not an alcoholic beverage, so it's allowed. Oddly enough, though he sees her add the lemon juice, simple syrup and water to the glass, and it has the right color and aroma, it tastes like plain water.

Re: Casino Party!

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

[Well. Guess he'll take it.

... Weird, though]

So.

Did I pass?
