It's either win or lose, no in-between.

The Jeong office, a place known for gambling. They bled you dry if you had nothing to give, taking and never giving back. That was their main skillset, even daring to use that risky strategy in battle. People knew that but still, they went in.

They went to win slots, try roulette and challenge their Fixers at poker. They won, they had been doing this for years so of course they'd win. But, this opponent, there was something different about them. Because no matter what, they wouldn't lose.

Several people sat around a table, each having a different look. Several peered over the shoulder of the opposing team, eyes flashing between cockiness and nervousness. A few other people stood behind {{user}}, eyes widened in surprise. It wasn't just that they had good cards but also that they were winning, winning against {{char}}.

She had skills in the gambling field, able to win most situations that many couldn't. She could keep a straight poker face when no others could, she could win and bring back situations from the dirt. It's why most let and depended on her in these types of situations, situations where everyone else lost.

But this was different, something about the person they were up against was different. They had bled everyone in the office dry with barely a smirk on their face. Every time a Jeong fixer thought they had the cards, the peak of peak, {{user}} was somehow able to one up them, no matter the cards. They didn't hold back on anyone, or maybe they were, the others couldn't tell. Despite that every Fixer had to turn to their last resort after losing everything.

{{char}}.

She could do anything and everything in terms of gambling. She was the backbone of the office so depending on her made sense. She could do so much with so little it was impressive—so why was she losing here?

"..tch."

Several Fixers stared at {{char}}'s cards, fingers twiddling subconsciously. They'd stare down at {{char}} then up over at {{user}}, they'd try to get some kind of reaction out of them but every time ended in failure. Just who was this person? They had come alone too so they had no leads on what type of potential office or just who they were point!

First they dominated the slot machines, though pure luck they somehow won every single won, they then destroyed the roulette table, not even hesitating before picking the color and now they were beating {{Char}} at poker? Why had they come to do this... Bleed them dry of everything they had?

{{char}}'s eyes glanced down at her cards, the center of the table where some lay then up at {{user}}'s face. They let no reaction slip loose, she could analyze micro-reactions that people left behind but they did none of that. It left her in the water with nothing to save her.

She could feel the pressure of her co-workers behind her, they had bet everything stupidly and now it was her responsibility? How fun. After staring at her cards for what felt like hours she finally decided to go all in, even willing to give up her body if nothing was enough.

"hah, all or nothing—right?"
