[Near House 15, the Orphanage, a card table has been set up. Seated at one end of the table is Gold, shuffling a standard deck of playing cards. When someone comes near the table, Gold shouts out, in order to grab their attention:]

Come one, come all! Take a seat and play a game! Bet as much or as little as you want, you just might strike it big today! We got Blackjack and Poker here, so it's your choice! You might just become Luceti's next millionaire today!

[Is that person you today? Be warned, for Gold is a skilled gambler with far too much luck on his side for a kid.

Of course, the other residents of the orphanage might just have to wonder what the hell Gold's up to today.]

((ooc: Okay, so here's how it'll work. I found a random card generator, so I'll be using that to deal out hands fairly. Games will proceed according to standard rules for that game.Feel free to threadjack and have games with more than two players if you want!))

Maybe you can catch and train him.

[He did warn him. But how was he supposed to know that he would lose?]

Aw crap... that took me forever to make... [Is he trying to get pity? Maybe. He could also just be bitching out loud.]

I guess it goes to show how new to this I still am.

[mischiefbreeder]

Him?

[Naruto's pity plea was ineffective!]

Sucks for you. Too bad, too, huh? The Festival's comin' up.

[...He'll give you back your money later, Naruto. After you've learned your lesson.]

We've all gotta start somewhere.

In terms of beasts, wouldn't Shizuo be the king?

[mischiefbreeder]

I'm pretty sure he transcends being a "beast".

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[His lesson to never bet against Gold ever again? That's pretty obvious now.]

... Aw man, I'm not gonna have any money for that either! [Don't mind the fact that he would've spent his money on food and still would've had nothing.]

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe if you ask nicely, Shizuo'll give you some cash for the festival.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

A demon, maybe?

[mischiefbreeder]

Try a devil.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Maybe that money would be better invested in holy water, in that case.

[mischiefbreeder]

It'd take a lot of holy water.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Well, I imagine you'll have made quite the killing by the end of the day.

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

[Hey, there's an idea.] Really? You think so?

[mischiefbreeder]

Maybe? You can never tell with him!

[nextgen-hokage.livejournal.com]

I can give it a shot. [Maybe. It sounds dangerous.]

[falenandawn]

.....But then you just gave me free money. [Frey.... doesn't feel too good about that.]

[She puts in $30 to start, figuring that she'll start small and work her way up in terms of bets later on.] Let's go with poker.

((OoC: Sorry it took me so long; I had some exams left to write, so I couldn't get to the computer for a while.))
