"Welcome to the Bellagio in Las Vegas," Anakin said with a tiny smile. "Today's lesson is about the sin of gluttony, or overindulge." His hand waved to encompass the sight before them.

Go inside and explore--there is a buffet of more kinds of food than should be legally allowed, and places that promise riches for very little effort. You get a half hour, then return here and we will discuss why this sort of place is so appealing."
