A masked attendant pushes a button on the funnel box... holding the marbles that will decide your fates.
"First," says Barbaro, "Kaitani Katsumi. How many whites did he receive?"
Two white marbles are released and displayed under Kaitani's name. "Two points to Mr. Kaitani! Next, Motou Daisuke."
One white marble appears. "One point to Motou! Except..."
A masked attendant opens Motou Daisuke's box, displaying its contents for everyone to see. His white marbles sit inside.
"...it appears Mr. Motou failed to hand out his white marbles. As such, he will take a 2 point penalty... We don't do negatives for this game, so instead of -1 he will be at 0. Next, Ishida Katsuo!"
One white marble rolls out. "One point to Ishida! Next, Myutsu Ryu..."
One white marble rolls out. "One point as well to Mr. Myutsu! Will Bara Sora fare any better?"
Two white marbles appear. "Bara Sora gets 2 points! She is now tied with Mr. Kaitani! Last but not least... Watsuki Shichiro."
Two white marbles clank out... followed by one more. "Impressive! Watsuki Shichiro takes the lead with 3 points to his name!"
Barbaro grins. "With Mr. Watsuki in the lead, he stands to win a substantial amount of yen... but the black marbles may undermine him yet. Let us see what results we have. First, Kaitani Katsumi."
One black marble rolls out under Kaitani's name. "Mr. Kaitani gains one more point, putting him at 3 points total and tied with Mr. Shichiro! How many golds did he receive?"
A masked attendant pushes the button, but nothing rolls out. He presses it again to make sure it wasn't jammed. "Oh dear, no Golden marbles go to Kaitani. Next, Motou Daisuke."
No black marbles appear. Neither do any golds. "Motou Daisuke gains nothing, leaving him at 0. Either way..."
A masked attendant pulls out the false bottom of Motou's box, revealing his black and gold marbles still within. "He would have received the penalty and been at 0 points regardless. And that Golden marble is now ours."
The masked attendant pockets the Golden marble. All of the players glare at Motou.
"Next, Ishida Katsuo."
One black and one gold marble roll out. "One extra point to Mr. Ishida, and one Golden marble deposited in his name... however with only two points total, he has failed to make the cut. Next, Myutsu Ryu."
Nothing rolls out. "No points to Myutsu Ryu... leaving him at 1 point. But..."
The masked attendant shows Myutsu's box to the players. "He did not deposit his black or Golden marble. He is penalized to 0 points. And yet another Golden marble goes to the LGT."
The others groan in disbelief.
"Next, Bara Sora!"
No black marbles roll out... but one Golden marble does. "Bara Sora gains nothing... putting her at a mere two points. She has gained a Golden marble to her name. Mr. Kaitani and Mr. Watsuki are still tied for the lead... but we have yet to see Watsuki's results. Attendant?"
The attendant pushes Watsuki's button, and out roll...
Two black marbles and two Golden marbles! "Spectacular! Two more points to Watsuki Shichiro, putting him at 5 points! And he gains two Golden marbles! The final results are as follows!"
"Congratulations to Watsuki Shichiro, the sole winner of Lose Your Marbles! 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... fufufu..."
The television clicks off to black. The six players are left in silence.
Some leave immediately in a huff. Others go to the bar to wallow in liquor... only to smash their glass against a wall in anger.
Watsuki Shichiro sits in the corner of the bar, sipping on his drink in awkward silence.
"First," says Barbaro, "Kaitani Katsumi. How many whites did he receive?"
Two white marbles are released and displayed under Kaitani's name. "Two points to Mr. Kaitani! Next, Motou Daisuke."
