Murdoch's sitting on a bench with a portable table in front of him. On top of the table is a deck of playing cards, as he plays blackjack with himself!
"It's hard to lose if you're the dealer, since you're experienced at the game, you know how many decks there are, and they're usually efficient at counting cards. That's what I'm trying to do right now."
He plays a hand for himself, and for the dealer.
"Got the idea from a conversation with Eric. Figured I could get good at these type of things and make some easy money."
"Uhh, maybe? And nah, it's totally fair and legal. The only reason Casino's don't like it is because they lose money, and they're technically within their rights to kick you out at any time."
He's been studying.
"So I want to get good and hit them hard before they notice, you know?"
"Nothing!" He grins, playing through a couple rounds during their conversation.
Murdoch keeps track of what gets played on both sides, and counts the card based on what he, as a player would know.
"I don't know, I think it'd just be cool to have some savings, maybe go on a nice trip somewhere, but some nice things. I'm a little materialistic at times."
He shrugs. I guess it depends on how much money I have, but a DREAM vacation..."
"I'd would've liked to travel through Europe, but the Empire is making that a bit difficult. Maybe further east, like Japan? That'd be amazing! And I'd probably take a bunch of people if I could."
"I wouldn't need to research or prepare anything, you'd be all over it, right? Learn the language, figure out the best places..." she gives him a wink.
"Oh thaaaaat." she laughs, leaning away from the elbows.
"Mm. I suppose so. I've been having fun dating when I can! I wanted to try with more people but then I got busy. You know how things have been with Boost. And then there was the whole anti-meta ralliiiies aaaand..."
Hm. That was about it. Two anti meta rallies with two different targets.
"It's been keeping me pretty busy. Heheh, in one of the rallies my team let the murderer go. It wasn't too impressive."

"Playing the field, nice! You're such a heart-breaker!" He flashes a thumbs up.
"I know the feel with CLAW and what not. All my free times been going into improving my abilities as an agent, so deep social interaction hasn't really been up there."
He immediately looks like he's lost interest in the conversation!
"I had this conversation with Eric a couple days ago, actually. I'm not really looking, I guess. He mentioned someone that was 'my type', but I looked into it and she's your age."
He sighs
"Honestly I'm fine with how things are going currently. Being an agent is what I'm most interested in."
"It just feels like what I want to do isn't good enough to other people. Like when I talked to Eric; he made it seem like it was unreasonable to not be looking for love and only focusing on the job. Like I was missing out on a key aspect of my life."
He keeps playing!
"With my power, I remember every experience I ever come across. My life feels so long, like I have plenty of time to do whatever I want. Isn't it fine to not worry about girls right now? Or is that weird?"
"I only asked since you brought it up for me, Murdoch. But if that's not something you care about right now then who cares if you're not finding someone to be with! It's supposed to be fun, not necessary!"
She starts watching the cards, mostly just so she's not staring at him. She noticed people don't always make eye-contact when talking about this stuff.
"Everyone's getting caught up with meeting other people like themselves. I think it's hard not to want to connect on a deeper level, you know? But some people crave it more than others..."
"You're right, and I do like meeting people. And it's not like I haven't thought about it. Having a girlfriend would be nice! I just don't think I have the time to invest in something like that right now."
He nods, convincing himself.
"It's nice that you understand where I'm coming from, though."
