Oh, you're pretty new here, huh? [ Xue Yang shrugs and makes his own gesture. ] The ones you usually see in this room aren't... [ He trails off for a moment, searching for the right word as his grin fades a little. ] people. Sure they aren't ghosts, but they might as well be. Anyone still sane spends any busy nights fucking to try to get out of here. I'd bet all my chips that it's staying in here too long that makes you really wind up brainless just like the rest of them.
[ What "too long" is he can't say for certain, but Xue Yang has never bumped into someone in this area who could hold a conversation beyond the proclivities of the hotel, outside of the times when there's something new happening. Best he can tell, this casino is a holding area where the hotel waits for those who've degraded to reach some specific point, even maybe to outright die.
The jostling catches his eye, but when that fails to make the stack fall, he looks back to his opponent. Studies him, because he's surprised to hear that there's such a thing as a covering that removes the ability to feel hot and cold completely. That "boring" question suddenly became a lot less so. ]
Yeah? Nothing at all, huh?
Hot makes you feel like there's too much. Anything you got on? Too much clothing. You wanna take it off, then take more off even when there isn't more. Peel off your skin so you can cool down. That sorta thing. Cold's like the opposite. More and more clothes, and you want to stick more onto yourself to warm up.
