So far all seemed well, after winning the first hand you were currently in the lead, Shante threw in a £100 chip into the pot.

Shante: Hey Charles, what do you do for a living?

Charles looked up from his hand

Charles: I work for the government.

Shante: Oh…

Charles moved his cards closer to the table and looked towards the half genie.

Charles: Is there something you wanted to ask?

Shante shook her head and waved a hand dismissively

Shante: oh no, no, no, no, no, I was just curious, but if it's something confidential then-

Charles: Oh it's no problem, I know that none of you are part of the tophat clan

Dr Bright: Who?

Charles: The tophat clan…major criminal organization…? All wear top hats…?

Dr Bright: Huh, never heard of them. Guess they aren't that much of a pain in the neck to be that significant to us.

Switch-Chan: I wore a top hat once, when I gate-crashed a wedding!

Everyone looked at Switch-Chan, who was still smiling sweet and innocently, oblivious to the confused glances that were directed at her, yourself included. Charles continued.

Charles: Well, I work as a helicopter pilot.

Switch-Chan: A helicopter pilot, really?

Switch-Chan was practically halfway across the table, ecstatic about that piece of information. Shante pushed her back into her seat with one arm

Shante: Hold on. I thought you have access to all the power up items from your first party games?

Switch-Chan nodded her head rapidly

Shante: Items such as the propeller suit and warp star?

Switch-Chan nodded her head again

Shante: So why are you so excited about Charles being a helicopter pilot when you have various means to fly?

Switch-Chan: Because it's so cool!

There was a moment's pause as Switch-Chan threw in another £100 chip.

Charles: Well, anyway…I work as a helicopter pilot for the government, mostly transporting the general, and giving air support to our troops.

Shante: I see…

You throw in another £100 chip.

Shante: So what do you do for a living Jack? You've never told us.

Dr Bright: I…work for… an independent research institution…

Shante: Really? Do you work with Charles a lot?

Charles: Oh no, no, no, no, no, we've never worked together officially, we've only ever met in this place.

Shante: Oh right, so what do you do then?"

Dr Bright: I'm afraid that, is confidential

Shante: Oh right…I won't ask any more questions then.
