Brainstorming for Round 1

[meticuloustactician]

Okay guys, the round 1 prompt is "Gambling"! So consider that carefully over the next few days. The comments under this post are going to act like this:

This is me replying and adding my 2 cents to thinking about this concept!
Here I am mentioning whether I like this concept or not and why, as well
as thinking about ways that this interpretation of the prompt could be
practically implemented! (eg "this could be a fic if we did it like this!")

Dave and Terezi "Taking a Chance" on one another

[meticuloustactician]

Thinking about their moirallegiance as a "gamble". Dave deciding to trust Terezi after she'd just gotten John/almost gotten John killed. Terezi doing the coin flip and letting her Seer of Mind-ness put her relationship with Dave at risk, as well as "betting" his life and causing a Dave to die. Re-meeting on the meteor and taking another gamble to trust each other again.

Cheating using powers

Dave and Terezi competing in games of chance but using their powers to cheat. Dave consulting future-hims about the outcome of certain events. Terezi using her Seer of Mind powers to predict or manipulate the results. Friendly competition.

Poker Game

Was thinking of maybe going for a less conceptual interpretation and making a short "sunday strip" comic based off of the prompt of gambling. Basically, Dave and Terezi decide to play cards to pass the time. Dave has planned to cheat by hiding aces, but since Terezi is the Seer of Mind she sees this coming. Pale funtimes ensue! Aiming more for a light-hearted approach of the topic.
