A little gambling
Who: Open.
What: Poker Night.
Where: The beach.
When: On the trip. Second night? Third night?
Why: 'cause you can't read her poker face.

"Alright, ante up. Newbies, too, I'll walk you through the first round." Leading by example, Kiriko plucked a few multicoloured chips from her plentiful pile and tossed them haphazardly into the center of the plastic table. She'd set it up (or rather, had someone else set it up for her) out on the sand, not too far from the snack bar, not too close to the shore. The sun had set - bug lamps and tiki torches were lighting the table, that and the full moon that hung too low and too large in the not-completely-black sky. That would remedy itself before long, but it was quite a sight in the meanwhile, and Kiriko watched it contentedly while waiting for the rest of the table to bet. There were still empty seats and stragglers along the shore. She'd shouted at them earlier to come and play, and was debating doing it again.

"Oh yeah, and this is the practice round. We're not betting anything valuable... yet."

	Misaki had decided to play since she didn't want to be in the water that late at night. Looking at Kiriko she looked at the three main colored chips. She looked at the amount Kiriko had thrown out, and counted the chips, to add to it. "Okay so how do we play?" (Reply to this)

Games were a means to display superiority, and had been used to decide fate and victory. Duels were physical, and now looking at the table with its cards and tiki lamps Kouchisei decided poker was mental; people were not butchering each other although he was sure there were people here that Kiriko would like to.

He'd pulled up a chair and was sitting at the end, content to watch. It was a foreign game, and one he didn't know how to play so he'd look like a moron. Still, the psychology of lying and bluffs was universal and he'd learn more about these people by attending rather than not.

"I'm not betting anything. Personal values," he announced. Gambling was stupid. "Still, I wouldn't mind watching, if that's fine."

Kozue, meanwhile, down by where Kiriko was sitting, was entirely enthused to play. Not because she was good at it, by any means, but because she had some money, at least, to throw around, and this promised to be a funny way to spend an evening. She was here as a show of support, with a bit of curiosity, and out of the vague feeling that perhaps Kiriko would stack the cards in her own favor and Kozue could somehow benefit from this.

Kozue her own chips into the pile, not looking down at Kou but very conscious of what he'd just said. Fine.

"You'll learn as you go, Misaki-chan," she said without glancing up from her hand and making vague gestures at the next person at the table which surely meant 'well, go on.'

At Kou's words, she did look up, one eyebrow lifted. Well, at least he wanted to watch. Watching was less stick-in-the-mud-y than she had anticipated, but still.

"What did I just say, senpai? This is the practice round! Sit down, learn how to play, then join the kiddy table and play for fun or for food or something when we start getting serious."

Her eyes flicked sideways to Kozue at her left. Why was she still with him, anyway? It had been a funny joke at the time, but it had long since run his course and the fact that she'd yet to break it off with someone so obviously wrong for her was a bit disconcerting. Pangs of guilt were starting in for having set them up at all, and she hated those.

Kiriko adjusted the sunglasses nestled in her hair and turned her attention back to the cards. Worry about it later, now was time for fun (and taking her friends for all they had).

"Right, so after the ante round, we do the first bets. This is where the game really starts. I dealt, so someone else has to go first..."

	"Alright," Misaki smiled and looked over her cards. She clucked her tounge and pushed her hair out of her eyes as she tapped her fingers. Her hands wasn't very good, and she didn't remember all the rules of the game. Smiling up at the group she asked, "So um...what version of this game are we playing?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
