you tried to stop him, you really did. he’s got you in his lap, hand wrapped round your waist and resting on your thigh. his other hand is busy shaking the die that will decide his fate. you can feel the stares of the surrounding gamblers, cut the air with a knife the tension is so thick. it’s no surprise: aventurine is gambling his life on a dice throw. he holds the die up to your face, whispering to ‘blow for good luck, sugar.’
with bated breaths, he throws the die with a smirk. there are gasps, but none of it matters when he pulls you into a kiss before the die even land. you can only hope, pray that he won the bet but if he keeps kissing you like this, maybe you should join his gambles more often.

Gang's all here (again)! Since Gemini can't move the tiles they had to summon a fourth player.
I think there's like 5 people following me that knows how to play but at least for the first picture you don't really need to know the rules to "get" it.
A while back I found this ring in a flea market and bought it, and then almost immediately fulfilled the "I'm definitely going to do this" prophetic vision I had while buying it, which was I snapped the little D6 clean off its bracket. I didn't lose the D6 but it's so small that I did misplace it for a second, and for the last year both the ring and the die have been floating around my condo, never united because I never found both at the same time.
Finally, however, triumph! I found both at the same time (or at least on the same day) during November Cleaning, and put them in a single tupperware container to reassemble when I had a moment. Yesterday I glued it back together with some E-6000 and have resolved only to wear it when gaming.
[ID: A close-up image of my hand, index finger prominent; on the finger is a wide decorative ring with lots of filigree and a little dragon. on the top of the ring is a small mounting ring to which is attached a D6 die by a glued-on bracket, so that when I wave my hand around the D6 bounces around too. It looks super cheesy and I love it.]
