The Prowling Bell, the casino full of riches and wonder. It's known to keep a very noticeable dim cat and spade motif, noticeable with its staff and its surroundings.

Its areas are dark and cozy, making everyone who plays their games emphasized with minimal distractions from the outside. Also evident its completely reddish cat-based staff, having bizarre patterns that you usually don't expect from a cat… adorning large tails, and a dark attire, lessening the attention to the dealer and emphasizing only on the action.

Well, it's not just that, it is particularly well known as a place of fairness and a guaranteed location to make a decent fortune… up to a certain extent. No patrons so far complained of losses and usually you would leave with a bit more coin from when you came.

However, there are rumors, some people end up worse than they came with, ending up with possibly massive sums of debt, thrown in a single game or two. A soloist dealer comes up to those who need such luck to come back from debt, or a fate that no one knows but the Prowling Bell... with no other players and only just the two of them.

The game is simple: everything is set in only one game, and it's a simple coin flip. The coin itself is pretty unique: it's not your usual heads or tails. You'd even get to flip the coin yourself, if you choose.

If you win, they get refunded everything they lost back to where they were initially when they entered the Prowling Bell, plus one coin, for good measure. If the dealer wins… well, let's say you lose something that is very important to you.

You'll win if the one you guessed is not what you picked, I win if it matches.

Oh, the name is Catier by the way.

The cat themselves gets remarkably close. Their tail caressing around you.

"So the question is now... Soul or Body?"

They placed their arm on your shoulder, with the other arm extended outward in front of your view, showing the coin.

Thinking it over, does it make sense picking soul? Soul? Is that right? The feeling to pick soul is strong. The body makes more sense to pick if your intuition is right.. So body. Yeah. Makes more sense. Pick body. Body.

"Soul."

The cat's ears peaked.

"Soul? That's quite intriguing… Everybody picks them nowadays."

The cat places their paw on your hand, giving you the coin.
"Well, your move!"

Without any other thought than dread, your hand moved right away.

The coin flips...

=================================

This is done in my free time.

Not going to lie, this is trickier to write than the Soul Timekeeper one. I want to introduce the concepts slowly but also flow well, and I just don't know how to make them flow well... so I tried my best.

I always end up picking up a Vampire-kind of Magician-kind of thing in my Halloween stuffs... so this time why not spice it up with a gambler? Wait no... a casino dealer. Of course, it has its horrible twist to it!

Hope y'all like the excerpt I made to this one~
