Interesting. [He can't say he faults Matoba for sticking with the devil they knew, rather than turning things over to Clubs-- it's just the mechanics of the thing itself that are interesting to him. The ayakashi bargaining with its mortal playthings to try to maintain control is certainly an interesting image, given everything else going on here.] And the suits are still allowed to play their "games" in turn, even after all of that?

[It doesn't sound like the house is cracking down after losing influence... Not that he understands the flow of the energy collected by these "games," either, whether it's to the suit that had claimed the respective guests, the suit organizing the game, the house, the resort, or some mix of all of them. Maybe more things to ask of the previous winner of the game.]

So. When should I next look out for some game of "tag?" I'm assuming it's all coming down to... well, sex. [The games, the chips, the way they level up, etc.]
