"I`m folding, my friend," said Carpe Diem, "and I`ll just let these other town folks keep their money and have fun with the game!"

Darell then sauntered back into the saloon, with his usual knowing smile, looking for McGizmo. Having kept Carpe Diem from taking his money, Darell was anxious buy some more mods...and get ready just in case Carpe Diem ever came back to town.
