[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!))

Wow, what luck.]

U-Um... you can go.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Just as planned.

Gold reveals his first two cards.



That's 13 so far... Dealer has to hit again.



Aaand that's 20.] And the house has to stand. Hey, look at that, you won!

[She looks back and forth between his and her cards, almost in disbelief here.] I... I did.

I can't believe it.

[This is almost... empowering...]

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Not bad at all for a first-timer! [Heheheh.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

You think so? [Well, since she won just this once--] M-Maybe we can go one more time.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Just. As. Planned.]

Well, hey, who am I to tell a born natural to stop when she's just started? [Collecting the cards and shuffling. Place your bet, woman.]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't think I would call it that... [More like cheap luck. Noel doesn't exactly have Lady Luck on her side--not ever, and perhaps not now.

She picks her cards.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Your cards now are, Noel:

[Two jacks...? How much was this again? Did she lose?

...she'll stay, though she continues to look over her cards nervously.]

[mischiefbreeder]

[Gold reveals his hand!

And that's Blackjack! This game goes to me!

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[...FFFFFFFF.

There it goes.] Wow... you didn't even need to get another card.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Sorry, that's just the way the cards fall sometimes!

[Blah. Oh, well. That moment of greatness was fun while it lasted.] I guess this is it, then. It was fun playing with you.

[She starts to stand.]

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Hey hey, you're stopping so soon?

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[Huh?] I actually don't have that much money on me right now. Wouldn't I have to pay to play again?

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Oh... I understand... Well, if you really can't play anymore...

[Action] 1/2

[Gold.

That's not even--]

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

Ah... w-well-- [hdjkhfkfs CURSES.]

M-Maybe just one more game.

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Great! Who knows, maybe you'll hit the jackpot this time! [Shuffle shuffle shuffle!]

[Action]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

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

Re: [Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Right!

Hit me?
