"True luck" (Coronet) He was just sitting in his house in Coronet. Thinking of tomorrow's hectic schedule. Should he or shouldn't he do this work. Or maybe he should just sit around like usual and think of what to do on the upcoming week. Or maybe he should just laze around his house and think of nothing, as what he usually does. Unless of course, some sucker comes in with some money for his Chinchirorin game. Although, all in all, he'd probably just sleep. He's not really the type to be working a lot, since he knows that's not where the fun is. But then, people thinks he's a shiftless layabout here in Coronet. Back at KusKus however, people liked him for what he does. Being an all around fun guy. maybe that's what he should do. Go back to KusKus for one simple trip, get paid, and then hang around there for a week. And at that moment, his little brother comes into the house with a handful of fish. "We should really go back to KusKus, brother Tai Ho" said Yam Koo, "This place just don't have that many busy fish. Especially not in this season" That was his queue all right. Time to go to KusKus. Since he got the green light from his little brother, now all he has to do is just set sail. Tomorrow of course, because he just doesn't feel like doing anything today. As usual. His brother then played around with the Chinchirorin dices. It's ironic, he always played the Chinchirorin with people who came in his house looking for work, but never has he once played the Chinchirorin with his brother-in-law, who lives in the same house as he does. They have nothing to lose. The money they both make would profit both of them. And they have nothing to worry about for food. His brother fishes outside every day. To tell the truth, he doesn't even really need a job. Food is all ready and able. Money is not really needed cos they lead a extremely simple life, with no real necessities. He wonders now why does he ever take jobs that people offered him. Then again, he wonders why in the world he became a fisherman in the first place. "Huh, these dices must be defective. I keep on getting 1, 2 and 3" the voice of his brother sound into his head, and got him out of his little trance. "Really? let me see" Tai Ho said and took the dice and threw it into the bowl. The three dices flew into the bowl but somehow, one of the dices hit the wall of the bowl closer Tai Ho andjumped off to the other side of the bowl, it then hit onto the floor of the bowl only to surprisingly jumped so high up, that it went out of the bowl. This worries Tai Ho. He felt as if something bad's going to happen. Or is happening. "See? I told you they were defective. What do you think? Should we go buy a new one?" said Yam Koo. "Well, we have a lot of money to spare, I don't see why not"
"1000 potch for a bunch of dices? That's a bit too much, don't you think?" said Yam Koo to the
shop dealer.
"Well... we got new dices... let's test them out" said Yam Koo. Yam Koo then threw the dices into
the bowl and out came 1-2-3. He threw it again, more slowly and clamly this time, and out came
another 1-2-3. Frustrated, he shook the dices in his palms harshly with no remorse and almost
slammed them into the bowl. The result frustrated Yam Koo more than the time he lost the 8 inches
blowfish back at Kaku. It was 1-1-1. Yam Koo then clutches his head and shouted, "Damn
rip-off!!!"
