[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!))

Okaaay, ready, go!

1/2

[mischiefbreeder]

Hah... Looks like I can't beat you this time... That's a great hand.

[mischiefbreeder]

...As if! Read it and weep, Sis!

[

Straight Flush!]

What the--?! You cheat!

[mischiefbreeder]

What?! No I don't!

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah...

Anyway, that money better go to good use. Invest in a dog or something! A cute one!

[mischiefbreeder]

A dog? You would put a dog in the same house as Shizuo?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

A big one. With lots of teeth and a strong sense of loyalty to children.

[mischiefbreeder]

I don't think a dog like that would be afraid of him.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Exactly. So that the next time you have a questionable operation like this going on, you'll at least have an ally.

[mischiefbreeder]

I also think a dog like that would go flying pretty far when Shizuo tosses it out of his way.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

You gotta train it to fight! Come on, shouldn't you know this?

[mischiefbreeder]

I have four of the most dangerous beasts in the Valley on my side. He's tossed each of them like ragdolls across the village at least once.

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

Maybe you can catch and train him.

[mischiefbreeder]

Him?

[realityanchor.livejournal.com]

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

[mischiefbreeder]

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

[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.
