The Never Ending Quest - Episode 7423
|
Seeker smiles nonchalantly as the counters spin crazily in the slot
machine. You on the other hand can
barely contain yourself. Will Seeker's writing skills overcome your
unlucky streak? Will you have to
sleep in a homeless shelter tonight? Will you end up back in that dumb
cave the King sent you to? All
these questions and more crowd in your mind like rabid kittens, leaving you
breathless and sweating.
You can hardly believe that so much depends on a damn slot machine.
CHA-CLIK, CHA-CLIK, CHA-CLIK ... the counters fall into place. Win or lose, the answer to all your questions is at hand. But what has fate decided to do to you? The sound of thousands of quarters suddenly exploding from the mouth of the machine and the whine of the winner's siren tells you everything you need to know. You've won! And you've won BIG! "WhooHoo!" you shout ecstatically. Seeker glances at you sideways. Obviously whoever is writing this episode has a fondness for the Simpsons, a fondness the Seeker does not share. Oh well. Just wait until he gets back to his keyboard, then he'll show them all how to write character dialogue without resorting to cartoon caricatures. A large crowd gathers around you and Seeker as the money keeps on falling out of the slot machine. Casino guards and a floor manager come running up to congratulate you both and to have your pictures taken. This is the kind of publicity Las Vegas casinos live for. It's the perfect kind of bait to reel in new customers with. Proof that you can actually WIN. After things have settled down a little bit, you are surprised to spot someone in the crowd that you know! You nudge Seeker and then, before he can say a word, you stride on over to where the person is standing, watching you.
