[ naegi just gently places his rock solid snowball on the ground before patting his gloves to get all the excess snow off. he then fumbles to reach into his pockets before he pulls out... a penny. yeah, he'll just hand it to daisuke to let him handle the flip ]
[ Daisuke looks at the penny. It's a normal one. After a second, he flips the coin high into the air before catching it (he almost missed) and looks at the coin.
It's heads. He flips it again, but doesn't check its status. ]
[ naegi... is lost for words. he's just staring at the coin, mouth slightly open and the only thing he can say after staring at it for like ten seconds is... ]
... wait, so "good luck" is an actual real talent?
[ holy shit... 0.7%... hearing an actual percentage makes it all that more hard to believe. at first, naegi thought this good luck thing was just a slap in the face at all the misfortunes he's been facing throughout his life but if it's actually real and if he got it back as a talent... ]
So... does this mean I should go play the lotto or something?!
The chances of winning the lottery is 1 in 14 million.
[ ... He was desperate for money at some point so he looked it up, okay. But the sheer number was enough to get Daisuke to back down from actually trying to persuade Naegi to buy a lotto ticket a long time ago. He taps in some more numbers into his phone and shows him this number: "7.14285714 e-8"
You know you fucked up when you see the e in the calculator. ]
[ okay nvm. so much for abusing his talent so they can finally get some $$$ and stop being poor but he supposes that's not very fair at all... he'll still try though, probably get a ticket later today ]
But what do I do now with this talent? I don't think winning coin flips will really help me that much in life.

[ naegi takes back the penny, looking down at it for a really long time before he puts it back in his pocket. he guesses he should get back to work, picking up his snowball and now finally rolling it. he can make the heads while daisuke makes the body ]
Yeah... and who knows if my luck applies to things like that. Maybe it's super specific on what it wants to affect.
[ he might have to try and test it but they can focus on that on another day ]
Well, maybe my luck can help us with this event. Maybe Team Lucksacks can win a prize for the draw.
Yeah! I hope it's a good prize too. That's why the team name is what it is!
[ Or at least, he hopes so anyway. Luck is a fickle thing from what he remembers throughout his life. He starts stacking the snowballs from largest to smallest until it gets... pretty high up for the two boys.
A stepladder is kinda dangerous to use because of how slippery the ground can get because of snow...
[ Hm. Daisuke grabs the next body for the snowman and jumps from where he stands. He's jumping pretty high? Maybe high enough to get a slam dunk in a ridiculous sports anime. Anyway, he stacks it easily and falls back down. ]
[ why is this so anime........... naegi just watches and is quiet ]
... you've gotten really good at jumping.
[ yeah that sounds kind of dumb but really, he's also trying to think back to all the times that daisuke is jumping from ROOF TO ROOF LIKE A DAREDEVIL ]

Let's go with a coin flip.
[ He finishes making his second snowman head. ]
no subject
Here. I'll guess... heads.
[ because why not ]
no subject
It's heads. He flips it again, but doesn't check its status. ]
Heads or tails?
no subject
... Heads?
no subject
He sneezes, and the penny drops to the ground.
It's heads. ]
no subject
... does that count?
no subject
[ Daisuke picks it up and flips it again. It's heads. Flips again Heads again. Flip. Heads. Flip. Heads.
Daisuke looks down at the coin like what the fuck just happened. ]
... It's not a rigged coin.
no subject
... I'll guess tails this time?
[ maybe that'll really determine if it's based on his luck or if this coin really likes landing on heads ]
no subject
[ Daisuke flips the coin high in the air--the sun is blinding so the coin hits his head and lands on the ground again.
It's tails. ]
no subject
... wait, so "good luck" is an actual real talent?
[ WHAT ]
no subject
If I remember it right from school, the chances of you getting them right in all seven flips is 0.7%...

[ He gives Naegi back the penny and goes back to making snowman bodies. ]
... Something about being in the right place at the right time? I think that's useful. Though I guess "right" sounds subjective...

I think I can do that for a few more.
