Twenty-fourth run - Bad timing, like the movies

[speeding]

Dear Sphere,

Y'know, fuck it. No letter from me. You've been a very bad tree.

Who wants to go live it up in Hollywood? It's nearly as awesome as Vegas.

Plus a chance to renew my game supply. Someone rigged my 360. I swear it's the only reason he beats me at Mario Kart. I need a clean system.

Cheater.

I'm definitely going to Hollywood, myself. And if you ask me, this sort of opportunity's once in a lifetime and calls for a party.

Wait, there was a Vegas here? And I missed it? Of all the lousy timing.

[speeding]

Now that's an attitude after my own heart, buddy.

Yep, Vegas was seriously sweet. We cruised the Strip and played the games... Man, good times.

Hollywood's not bad though. Not Vegas, but better than a wax museum, right?

That sounds like a little slice of heaven. Any slots?

Oh, hell yes. I think anything's better than wax figures. I'm not sure who invented them, but he ought to be locked up.

Totally man. Heaven save that the strip joints were populated by mannequins. Kinda creepy there. Slots, roulette, poker, blackjack, all of it. The Vegas dream.

I am totally in agreement. Sick minds shouldn't be allowed to inflict their horrors on the rest of us.

ping ping ping!

Well. That's just unfortunate. It was too much for this place to provide a slightly less creepier version of entertainment? It quite ruins the idea of The Vegas Dream, but the gambling sounds nice. Anybody lose their life savings?

Yes, and Hollywood will just have to do. I've been absolutely dying for a place other than Smoke's to have a pint. It doesn't have quite the same satisfaction if you actually work there.

Pinging like a slot machine~?

A few mannequins... Well, there was some high stakes pokers, kind of a bore for a guy like me.

Yeah, I get that. Thanks for the reminder--stock up on booze. And hope the mannequin cops don't care about age limits.

That's the best kind!

And this isn't the sort of place where you can leave town when the debt collectors come running at your heels.

Ah, but you seem to forget--they're mannequins! Plastic! I daresay it'll be easy just to tip them over if they object.
