[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!))

[...FFFFFFFF.

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

[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.

[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...

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

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

[He gives her a questioning look, as if to say, "You sure about that, brosis?"]

[She almost nods. Wait, no? Maybe?

...no. This is a good amount, obviously. So she nods.]

[ANNOYED GRUNT.]

That's... I should have tried again, huh?

[Action]

[mischiefbreeder]

Definitely. Your chances of beating the house at that number are way too low!

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

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

[mischiefbreeder]

We've all gotta start somewhere.
