[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!))

[And here, Naruto is simply proud of the amount of money he managed to pull out on a whim to bet.]

Uh... what about... Blackjack!

Uh huh. Just hope some gambling prodigy doesn't come along and clean house, or else you'll be getting the orphanage into debt.

So generous. I'll pass it on when I see him. Bound to run into him eventually.

[But he's sticking around for now. He has a prank to pull, much as he's tried to talk himself out of it.] Interested in making up for the loss?

Been saving up?
endgames: (you got it)

[He digs into a pocket and pulls out a wad of bills crumpled together, peeling the Luceti equivalent of a five from it and stuffing the rest back. He tosses the bill on the table.]

I like poker over blackjack.

[She stops and stares for a few moments, confused, before smirking.] Hm... Why not? I'm feeling quite lucky today. [In-series, at least, Erza tends to have absurd luck when it comes to card games. Here, not so much, probably, but might as well give it a shot.]
endgames: (Funny)

Sounds like more fun than walking around some more.

[If there's a chair, he's pulling it out to sit in now, dropping the backpack at his feet.]

All for the orphanage, eh? That's thoughtful of you.
endgames: (Hmm)

[Shikamaru looks at them, then discards the five and ten of spades and the three of hearts.]

We'll see what happens, I guess. [Who knows. Maybe it was just a one-time-thing there.]

And it doesn't hurt that making this a fundraiser is pretty much the only thing that'll keep Shizuo from shutting your racket down, huh?
