Yes, I saw that when I Googled (I was curious to see if it was Tiago's idea or a real place).

I like how you keep changing your location to match the YASOUE installment you're currently writing.

Yeah, me neither. I just thought they were all random. Anyway, that's awesome, Tiago.

Interview with a Gambler - recorded in a tape by a reporter staying at Casanova Casino. G: So, did you really lose everything at the Casino? P: Oui. At first, I zought I was winning at the roulette, but suddenly I start to lose my game after game. G: Why didn't you leave Luck Island then? P: Because, I now owe ze Casanova family so much money now I can't leave! SO I started working in ze kitchen. There are many ozers in my situation. G: But you must be happy to be working for such in bosses. P: Pardon? G: I mean, everyone knows that C and E will marry, and to work for E... Isn't it a dream? P: Un rêve? Non, non, not a drream. How do you say it in english...Um, a nightmare, yes. It is a nightmare. E: It is what? P: Mon dieu! E! Je suis desolé, madame! Je vais à la kitchen, oui? Au révoir! *runs off scared* G: Oh, E! You look so smashing and in! E: You're going to erase this tape, G. I don't want anybody listening about what happens in here. Hear me? G: Oh, right. Sorry, E. E: Now come on. We need to find you something in to wear, that outfit you're sporting just went out, I hear. G: Oh, then I must change at once! *stops recording* - - - - - Dear Dairy, I've come to learn that many workers of Funeral Factory Fulfillment Ltd. have boarded the Fortune Ferry heading to Luck Island to try to make quick money after losing their jobs and housing. With V and F still missing, what is left of the factory was broken into by homeless people. D is nowhere in sight. I'm afraid that he can't do much but hide, now that E has C. We all have to wait for the perfect opportunity to act, and it unfortunately seems as if the perfect opportunity won't arrive anytime soon. Rosa Quigalot - - - - - Dear Dairy I am again sitting at Requiem Café, with a rubber duck inside my briefcase, and a nervous theory inside my head. D has not shown up, and neither have V or F, who are missing, which is pretty obvious. As I sip on another ice cream soda I can't help but wonder if my theory is correct. The reason why C is so important, the reason why she was mercilessly separated from her family, not in a different manner than one of her captors, albeit slightly less violent. It is summer, but I feel ice cold inside, partially because of the theory in my head, and the ice cream soda in my stomach. Rosa Quigalot

A bit longer than your previous teasers, but absolutely amazing all the same. I love how you worked the French accent into the Gambler's answers, and I loved the conversation exchanged by E and G, which is very funny and so in. ^_^ I'm certain I know who those mentioned in the last two sections are. Also, great comparison between the chilling ice-cream and the chilling theory; it's very clever and so Lemony.

So, G was either distracted by her out clothes, or no longer following E's orders. I wonder which C is the important one - the same C who will marry E?- and also if the Casino is set up for failure.

Intriguing teasers there; I look forward to the fic's true opening.

The excitement continues! I do love these teasers.
Regarding E and C's marriage - is J dead, or are he and E divorced? I'm taking it C is not anyone we know. Clearly he cannot be C or C, and it seems unlikely he would be C.
I just noticed that one of the earlier messages was signed by one of us - as it were. I'm also intrigued by the signature of the other volunteer - B and H or A and C. How did s/he get so many names?

I'm positive I've guessed correctly as to who E is, as well as V, K, S, B, and the two C's. And will there be a scene depicting a wedding in the future of The Catastrophic Casino? *wonders*

I wonder if it'll be a reprise of The Marvelous Marriage? Although the latter didn't have quite so many true participants.

Don't hurry through it, Tiago... I'm going away on that day, for a week. I know I'll be looking forward to reading it when I get back, though.
