A masked attendant pushes a button on the funnel box... holding the marbles that will decide your fates.
"First," says Barbaro, "Ikenishi Sada. How many whites did she receive?"
4 white marbles are released and displayed under Ikenishi's name. "Four points to Miss Ikenishi! Next, Okutsu Fumio."
4 white marbles appear. "Four points to Okutsu! Next, Suzuki Usagi."
4 white marbles also appear under Suzuki's name. "Four points to Suzuki! What a close game... What does Wada Mitsuru receive?"
A masked attendant presses his button... Nothing comes out. He presses it again to make sure it wasn't jammed. "Oh dear, it appears there are 0 white marbles in Mr. Wada's name... putting him in dead last..."
Barbaro grins. "Ikenishi, Okutsu, and Suzuki... the three of you are in the lead. But will you maintain it? A single marble drop could decide you as the sole winner...
"Let's begin with Ikenishi again. How many black marbles did she receive?"
Nothing appears. "Zero black marbles to Ikenishi! This brings her total to 4 points. How many Gold marbles did she receive?"
One golden marble rolls out. "One golden marble has been deposited in Ikenishi's name! How have the others fared? Okutsu..."
No black marbles appear. "No black marbles either! Four points to Okutsu! This brings his total to 4 points as well. How many Gold marbles did he receive?"
One golden marble rolls out. "One golden marble is deposited in Okutsu's name! Now, on to Suzuki..."
No black marbles appear. "Yet again, no black marbles! Four points to Suzuki, bringing her total to 4 points. How many Gold marbles did she receive?"
One golden marble rolls out. "One golden marble is deposited in Suzuki's name! The game has practically been decided... but let's see Mr. Wada's results."
Four black marbles clank against each other as they are deposited under his name. "Oh dear! 4 black marbles! This lands him at an automatic loss... not that this would have changed a thing..."
One golden marble rolls out. "And one golden marble is deposited in Wada's name!"
"The final results are as follows!"
"Good game everyone! The VIP bar will be open for another 15 minutes, after which we will escort you home. If you wish to leave now, you may. Have a good night. We will be seeing you very soon for Round 3... You may be friends now, but I wouldn't suggest you get too comfortable... fufufu..."
The television clicks off to black. The four players are left in silence.
Wada Mitsuru shrugs. "Who wants to celebrate?"
The other three smile, and they order rounds of shots until the 15 minutes are up.
