*Felix tugs the arm*

*his eyes go green as it spins*

Romana: No! *runs off* th-there's gotta be one person...mom!

*Romana runs to find her*

Romana (thought): I have to stop her!

Riverboat: you really think you can kid? your big family's all addicted to bettin'

*Romana sighs*

Romana: I...I have to try!

*she finds a chubby sally playing roulette*

Sally: must win must win

*Romana rushes to Sal*

Romana: Mum please you have to stop!

Sally: i just need one more roll *her cheeks puff up*

*Romana tries to show Sal her reflection*

Romana: Please...you...you're...

*Sal glares at Romana*

Sal: I'm WHAT exactly?

Romana: *flinches*

*Sal glows green*

Sal: You think I'm getting fat again aren't you?

Romana: Mum, you don't understand...

Sally: you listen here young lady!

*Sal grabs Romana by the collar*

Sal: I spend each and every day working my butt off for you. I deal with your "Aunty V" being
a constant, hyperactive nuisance. Let me have this!

Sally: *throws her back*

*Romana is in tears*

Romana (thought): She's gone.

Romana: i'm....i'm on my own

*She looks round, seeing everyone become increasingly large*

Romana: no!

*Romana looks round*

Romana (thought): There has to be a way to break the hold this place has, there has to be!

Romana: i gotta destroy riverboat

*Romana goes past the tables, desperately looking round for Riverboat*

Vibes: *is struggling to hold onto her machine as she floats, her drink tainted with caramel*

G: *is drinking non stop as his race bets keep losing, practically a water balloon*

Lilith: *struggles to even roll her dice as she bet her winnings and waistline all away*

*Carmy is gorging on snacks from a tray as she bets*

Romana: at this rate they'll be beyond any help.

Van: *is in a daze as his roulette bets fail and he drinks more*

Felix: *is still thin compared to everyone else, struggling to break the hold of the machines, though he is still clearly fatter*

*Romana scowls*

Romana (thought): I'm going to scan this place for Riverboat, and then I'm going to tear him apart.
