Chapter 5
Greed sat shaking the dice in his hand, a look of the utmost concentration on his face. This roll was important. He was close to the dark blue properties, the most important on the board. He had to get one. Or at the very least, he had to get the last railroad. Envy had the other three and it was always satisfying to mess them up.
"Would you just roll already?" Envy asked.
Greed grinned. Your funeral, he thought.
"I doubt it," Ling thought.
Greed was going to ignore that. He dropped his dice. His eyes widened and his grin got wider. He could count. He passed the railroad, but he was about to land on a dark blue square, and the more valuable one too. He took his piece, slammed it onto the square, and turned to get his money. Only, he didn't have enough. Greed froze, his body trembling once or twice. He couldn't afford this square. He'd spent all his money on the previous squares.
Greed tipped his head up towards the ceiling and lifted his arms. "NOOO!"
Wrath rolled the dice and started moving. He already had one monopoly, and he already had a hotel on each property. This was because they were the brown properties, easy to upgrade. He dodged around Lust's green monopoly and landed on the most expensive dark blue square. Well, he still had plenty of money. He bought the square and Lust handed him the propery.
"NOOO!" Greed shouted again.
