Look I'm writing on the thing! Oh hey it's fixing the words so they look right.

Okay so I was watching videos (they're called videos) on the thing

oh Nagisa says the thing is called a phone

So I was watching videos on the phone and there was this guy eating peppers on a bet and I could do that!

How many ghost peppers do you think I can eat? I'm already dead so it can't kill me, so how many? Leave bets here.

Does that work?

Anyway bet money and the closest guess wins it all! If I eat more than the highest guess and I don't die again, I win it all!

Leave money at Azeban's temple. This will work, right? I'm still working on it.

How's the market look? I'm not laying down any money until I see some odds.

[ittenbari]

Don't have enough bets in to really call the odds yet, but most people aren't betting too high.

[slantedcross]

Won't be any fun if it doesn't hurt a little.

[ittenbari]

Well, that's life, right?

[slantedcross]

When you say that, do you mean the fact that it hurts, or the fact that it isn't fun?

[ittenbari]

That it's gonna hurt a little. You gotta take the good with the bad or neither one of them is worth it.

[slantedcross]

Just for that cliche: I'll double the top bet, for you to eat ten of those things.

[He is only about 63.76% serious.]

[ittenbari]

Got it!
And hey, who cares if it's cliche if it's true?

[slantedcross]

I do. I have to listen to it, over and over again.

Variety is the spice of life, not just ghost peppers.

[ittenbari]

Now who's being cliche?

[slantedcross]

I thought you'd like it.

What's the most peppers they've gotten you for so far?

[ittenbari]

Someone bet fifty, but I don't know if we can even afford that many.

[slantedcross]

Oh, terrific. I was beginning to feel guilty.

You need investors, kid. Advertisers.

[ittenbari]

I do? Where do I find those?

[slantedcross]

In this case, maybe you should advertise for them...

[Youji needs to stop being mean.]

No, I don't think they'd take you seriously at this point. If you had something people wanted to watch, they'd give you money to stick their product between you and your audience.

[ittenbari]

So I have to make something people want to watch FIRST and then people will give me money to do MORE of it?

[slantedcross]

You're catching on. The only other way to get paid for that kind of thing is to get the viewers to do it, and I, personally, would be affronted by the attempt.

[ittenbari]

Yeah, that doesn't really work if you're betting. Sure, people will pay to get into a game, but the payout's gotta be pretty good and I'm not sure how much we're gonna bring in.

[slantedcross]

Which means you've got to run a lot more of these before you start seeing any kind of benefit. You need a reputation.

What are you planning to do next?

[ittenbari]

Burying myself in ice!

[slantedcross]

...ice cubes, or...?

Second question, do you have anyone on standby to dig you out?

[ittenbari]

I didn't really think about that. Do you have to cut it into cubes?

And I guess Nagisa's gonna watch. Someone has to run the camera to put it on the phone, right?

[slantedcross]

It comes pre-cubed. You just need someone to help you carry it back.

Is Nagisa big enough to pull you of the ice before you turn blue? Serious question.

[ittenbari]

No, he's a little guy! I'm gonna have to get myself out.

[slantedcross]

That would be another video you could use, I think. Getting yourself out of that predicament.
