I'm bored, so I made a roleplay.

[alexxxela]

Boo-Boo: Let's go see Rita at the stage boards then...

Rita: Ashley, you're back! Let's check your status...

《Status: Neutral; H.P.: 17/25; E.P.: 25/25; W.P.: 5; J.T.: 440》

Rita: That nap restored your energy!

Baby Ashley nods. "Feel all better now!" she says Happily.

 

[Doc Monocle]

Baby Ashley nods. "Feel all better now!" she says Happily.

Rita: Good! So you've done everything you must in this world. You can now look through the mines to see what goodies you can get, and physically walk through to Rootin' Tootin' Town, or you can... (looks around)... jump through the secret warp chest. You may miss things, but it's a lot quicker.

"Secwet wawp chest?" Baby Ashley asks. "But if I skip ahead, what if I not stwong enough to fight bigger monsters?"

 

[Doc Monocle]

"Secwet wawp chest?" Baby Ashley asks. "But if I skip ahead, what if I not stwong enough to fight bigger monsters?"

Rita: That's the choice you have to determine for yourself. It shouldn't be too bad right now, since it's only the second world. The chest is a convenience, but yeah, you can end up biting off more than you can chew if you're not careful.

A.R.: Chaching! Howdy, Ashley. It looks like you've spent some money. You now have 410 J.T., but you can't live on 500 J.T., so now, you should learn a tidbit. That's what I'm here for... Occasionally, you will find ways of making money. Don't get carried away with the spending, or you'll be a debtor, and you'll have trouble advancing... Take care!

A.R.: Two things. One, you can choose any important character to study under. It's sort of an educated guess what you might learn until you ask. They will tell you how much wisdom you need to learn their next trick of the trade. Two, you've reached your item limit. You can keep or unequip any items you have at Fuller the quartermaster. When you buy items and have no slots for them, they are kindly delivered to Fuller, who keeps them until his warehouse becomes... full... (She unpauses).

They arrive via portal, and not quite to their astonishment, they come to streets filled with people looking over their shoulders. It is night time, so their hydration is mostly unaffected...

Joe: Well, what's to do here. We got ourselves some shady folks.

A.R.: It's Bluff City, for crying out loud! Hurry up and get into that saloon! Stop dawdling!

Joe: We're agoin'!

They go inside, hearing bar music playing on a piano.

Joe: Nothin' to see here...

Tuxedo Tucker: Hold up... Read 'em 'n' weep!... Hey, you over there, mud mound and baby face. Come here, and I'll clean you out!

Tucker: You can't walk into my saloon... (music fades)... and not play me a game of Tucker Card Powers.

Joe: (Squinting) Maybe we don't want to. How 'bout that.

Tucker: (Music resumes) That's fair too...

Joe: That was easy.

Tucker: ...but you'll never know where Spidey the Kid's gang holed up. You're gonna be dealing with a train wreck!

"Pway game!" Baby Ashley says, climbing up onto a table and standing on it. "I gonna win!"

 

[Doc Monocle]

"Pway game!" Baby Ashley says, climbing up onto a table and standing on it. "I gonna win!"

<This is an awful idea, but I could think of nothing else.>

Tucker: Okay, so here's how it works... We have a deck of cards (profile posts in order of appearance with the latest on the top of the deck, and the oldest (up to eight for convenience, since only four will be drawn) on the bottom. The posts themselves do not matter, we just need 'random' numbers and values generated without having to go elsewhere). Now these aren't your Grandpa's playing cards. This is a B. Kidding deck with sixty cards-- nine numbers (the last digits of the times the posts were made )-- through nine; three suits (avatars that are predominantly red, green, or blue, respectively when they posted the 'drawn cards')-- hearts, spades, and diamonds; and three power cards (predominantly black, white, or grey avatars) doubled with two players in mind. In this game, we each draw four cards (with values generated by the posts). We each then get to play two cards across two turns each. Whoever has the highest sum of numbers played wins the table, unless... they win by suit. So heart beats spade, spade beats diamond, and diamond beats heart.
Let's say you played an 9♤ on the first turn, and a 4♢ on the second, while I played a 5♡ on the first turn, and a 8♡ on the second.
I would beat you, because even though we have equal number scores, the heart on my first beat the spade on your first, cancelling the number. Your score would then be 4, while mine is 5, since your diamond card would beat my heart card. Any questions before I continue (since this is too much text at one time!)?

<I am gone for now.>

Tucker: Not so fast. A power card can be used instead of a suit card to double the total value of one card played. Playing two power cards is a winning pair. Commence...

Joe: Now, wait just a gulpin' prairie dog minute. What are the stakes?

Tucker: I put information about Spidey's gang on the table if you win the game; I give an extra bonus of 500 J.T. if you win without getting any of your cards cancelled. You, on the other hand, because you're not beating me any time soon, only have to wager 50 J.T.

Joe: Just a minute... (Pulls her aside) Baby Ashley, somethin's not right about that rascal! I feel it in the marrow of my bones!

Dirty Joe tries to follow the 'invertible' logic he used.

Joe: (Shakes head) No, we aint playin' this game. I think I even saw one card's suit change!

Tucker: Scawy Goo-booh, ga-goo! You're only proving how typical you are. Tuck your tail between your legs, run from Tucker, and cry for mommy!

<There will usually be ways for Baby Ashley to beat the game when situations like that come up. For example, you may remember that playing cards were sold at the shop. One trick you could have tried was daring Tucker to play with a fair deck. That is an example, as you might have come up with your own solutions, but situations are often given that allow her to win by unexpected means. Do you like that idea, or do you prefer it to be straightforward?>

Rita: ... You can (flipping through pages)... We don't have much time though before the train visits Bluff City. You'll probably have to catch them in the act since we likely don't have the element of surprise anymore.
