They took their time, flipping over their cups to reveal the dice within.
"Four fives, that's bullshit accepted," said the iron-toed man.
The woman in the penguin sweater hissed in disdain, then placed one of her dice next to a pile of them growing on one side of the table. The iron man gave a shrug and a smile, then the two of them, along with the green-striped-shirted man and the two sisters who didn't look much alike, refilled their cups with dice and shook them violently before slamming them down upturned upon the table.
Each person took a sly peek under their cup to view its contents and their conditions.
"Yours next, Lis."
One pair of steely eyes looked down, while three other pairs tried to scry meaning from the tiny flickers of emotion passing across her face.
"Three sixes."
The man in green groaned. "You never give me a break, do you?" He peeked under his cup again, then said, "Four threes."

Safe for the moment, Lisa took a handful of Doritos from the bowl in the center of the table and stuck a few of them into her mouth.
The game went on.
