The Ultimate Outlaw

The Casino and Suspicions

        Niles looks at the dual colored bear in front of him, Rantaro and Shuichi. His eye narrows at Monokuma. A casino... and whatever this Love Hotel thing was seemed a bit too nice to have, given the situation. He was very suspicious of the bear and his intentions. Also, if this Love Hotel was what he thought it was, then what the hell is wrong with the Mastermind? Yeah sure he had dirty and perverted thoughts, but even he wouldn't create something like that in a situation where the person you spend some alone time with might end up killing you the next night or even in that very room! That was just fucked up.

"As the sign states, this is the Love Hotel! Now as you can see... It's currently locked. You need the key to enter this place. How do you get the key you ask? Simple! Earn 10,000 casino coins at the casino and trade it in for a Love Key~ If you keep the Love Key, you'll get a chance to spend the night with a fellow student," Monokuma explains, giggling evilly. He then fans himself. "Wow~ The thought of a steamy night with someone must be quite the motivator right?"

"What?!" Shuichi squeaks out, his face completely red from hearing the explanation. Rantaro just sweatdropped.

"You're serious... Aren't you..." Rantaro asks.

"Mhm! 100% serious~" Monokuma says.

"I can't believe that's what this is. That's just fucked in the head," Niles says. "Not even I would stoop that low just to bed someone, this situation or not!"

"Awe c'mon! It's not that bad!" Monokuma says, looking at Niles. "You tellin me you wouldn't want to.. bed as you put it.. a certain someone in a nice, plush room with anything you need?"

"With their consent first of all and not in a situation where death is possible any second!" Niles says. "Gods...." he says, rubbing his face with a hand. He turns on his heels and grabs Shuichi and Rantaro by their wrists and drags them away from the Love Hotel. That bear was pissing him off and he needed to get away before he accidentally attacked the thing.

"Not that I'm not grateful for you pulling us away... But are you alright Niles?" Shuichi asks.

"I'm not. I'm heavily annoyed," Niles answers.

"Want to get it off your chest..?" Rantaro asks gently, wondering if the Outlaw could use a moment to vent. Niles shakes his head and just continues towards the casino, letting go of their wrists.

"It's fine. I'll get over it," Niles answers. "Besides, this casino could use a look over."

"Fair enough," Shuichi says, acknowledging that Niles had no desire to talk about the situation. He wouldn't push as he wasn't close enough to the Outlaw to press. He did have a feeling the reason was similar to what caused the one-eyed man to snap at Kaede a few days ago. The trio enter the casino and Rantaro lets out a low whistle upon seeing everything.

"Fancy," Niles comments. "Seems like a place I would have robbed back in my younger days."

"This is probably just the lobby as those counters are probably the exchange counters - one for the casino coins and then one for the prizes," Shuichi says.

"Wait, how do we get casino coins?" Niles asks, blinking a bit. He hadn't seen any money laying around, but then again, he had been busy trying to find a way back to Nohr.

"Ah, the MonoCoins. Kaede and I have found some when we knock over furniture or just check random spots," Shuichi says.

"I found a few in my room. Might as well give this a whirl, no?" Rantaro says before approaching the coin counter. He puts one MonoCoin in the exchange machine and gets ten casino coins. He blinks. "Well.. One MonoCoin for ten casino coins-"
