Hôtel des Tamaris

You are invited to a quiet place on the French Riviera.
Not a resort.
Not a gala.
A village where people still notice strangers, and where nothing important happens loudly.
The invitation is informal. Polite. Almost forgettable.
A private gathering. A few games. Objects of interest exchanged under civil conditions.
The rules are simple:

No auctions.
No buying after the game.
No disputes once a hand is finished.

It’s said the games are meant to be fairer this way.
The stakes are unusual but respectable: rare artifacts, old property claims, debts settled by chance rather than argument. Winners are congratulated. Losers accept it with grace.
Everything appears orderly.
Until someone loses—
and then tries to buy back what they failed to win.
That person always dies.
Not dramatically.
Not publicly.
An accident. A heart. A fall no one can quite explain.
There are no threats.
No warnings.
Only a quiet consistency that everyone pretends not to notice.
You are here because you were invited to play.
Not necessarily to win.
Not necessarily to survive.
But because something about your presence makes the game… interesting.
And in this village,
interest always comes due.
