[Hi, Luceti. You may see Elie peering at all the buildings today, looking for something specific. She ain't finding it though, and not looking too happy about that.

Later on, she'll crack open her journal in the tea shop and start talking.]

So what does everyone here even do for fun? I looked for even just one casino and there's not one here. There has to be something, right?

...right?

That doesn't mean there isn't an underground casino or some underground gambling ring here! They'd be crazy not to invite me! If I don't ask, I won't get in!

[Huff. Gosh Haru, don't crush her dreams!!]

[Voice]

[ravelt]

I guess you have a point there, but... [Where's Ruby when you need him?] Why don't you just make your own?

[Voice]

[etherion]

[Haru. Haru do you know how much trouble you are now in? While this is sinking in, Elie's going to be thinking about this. Thinking and liking this idea. While he can't see it, there's a HUGE smile forming the more she thinks about it: Elie's Casino Empire. No, that doesn't work. Elie's Grand Casino? No, too lame. Elie's Heart-Pounding, Sweat-On-Your-Brow Best Gamblin' Spot? ...ew, no. Gamble Your Life Away? Nope, sounds like there's already problems involved in that name!

She'll be pretty quiet while thinking about the name. Because the name has to be exciting, something to pull people in! So does the inside! Something enticing! After a few minutes of absolute silence on her end, she'll break it with a singular shout:]

Haru!

[Voice]

[ravelt]

Wh-what? [Oh god he doesn't trust that silence and sudden outburst from you at all, Elie. THAR BE TROUBLE A-BREWING.</I.]

[Voice]

[etherion]

How does the name "Symphonia Casino Empire" grab you?! Be honest!

[Voice]

[ravelt]

You're serious about this!?

[Voice]

[etherion]

Of course I am. It was the best idea I didn't think of that I really should have thought of.

[Voice]

[ravelt]

Don't you think you should name it something more related to Luceti, then?

[Voice]

[etherion]

It's not exciting enough to be Luceti-related in a name! It has to be something that makes people want to go inside and try the games! Unless you can think of an exciting name that has to do with this place, then no!

[Voice]

[ravelt]

[...She's really set on this. Well, Haru definitely can't say no to her with determination like that. ...She'll never give up anyway.]

Alright, alright, fine. ..."Symphonia Casino Empire" it is. But what do you know about making a casino? That sounds like somethin' we need Ruby for.

[Voice]

[etherion]

Well yeah, but I've been in enough to know, don't you think? I'd have to plan it out and all, but it could be fun! Something to do to clear away any boredom that comes along. I might even let you be my personal bodyguard, just in case anyone wanted to try to take my casino empire away from me by killing me.

[SHE KIDS, SHE KIDS. But the smile and sentiment is still there.]

[Voice]

[ravelt]

I won't let anyone do that!

[You shouldn't joke about that stuff around Haru, Elie. You know better.]

[Voice]

[etherion]

W-woah, I was kidding! I mean, I don't think there's anyone like that here. Besides, I know that wouldn't happen! You'd scare 'em all off before they could even get close.
