...11. /lol irony

[paradoxkey]

[He's shuffling the deck in a rather bored manner.] Now what's in it for the loser?

XD

[firststeptodawn]

[Riku's shuffling his own deck, eyes narrowing at the suspicious figure before him.]

You mean aside of the humiliation of losing at a children's card game?

This is going to be interesting

[paradoxkey]

[Oh come on, as if he wasn't as suspicious as--oh wait, he still kept his hood up. Oh well~]

Hey, you're the one who picked it in the first place. [Placing his deck down.]

[firststeptodawn]

[>.>

But he had chosen the game, hadn't he? Well in that case...]

Winner picks.

[paradoxkey]

[Yep, and with the way his knowledge is limited in all things that are not data... he is at an extreme disadvantage.]

Fine. And since you picked, you first.

[firststeptodawn]

[He nods, sets down his shuffled deck and draws first five cards, then a sixth. Hmm, not bad...

He places a monster down for defense and sets two cards as back up in case his mystery opponent actually can overcome his wall monster.]

Your turn.

[paradoxkey]

[He does relatively the same, hoping his mother someone programmed him with luck stats at this point.

??? places one down for offense, setting one for back up.]

[firststeptodawn]

[The duel is harder than Riku would have anticipated - the other is either really quick to pick up the rules or just plain lucky (though, luck like this is probably a skill by itself).]

[paradoxkey]

[Call it the learning curve of a- oh wait, you don't know, do you? Either way, the smirk is probably visible under the hood as it continues, but at this point it seems like it could go either way...]

[firststeptodawn]

[Okay, that smirk does it - this guy is so going down.

Though yeah, it seems like he went a little too easy on him in the beginning, but hey, he is just about to play his ace card. That ought to turn the whole game around, shouldn't it?]

[paradoxkey]

[Why you little-

Crap. He has no appropriate card and his luck probably just gave out. Curse yoooou-!]

[firststeptodawn]

[And that's why skill is way more important than luck. Though to be fair, the other had been pretty good considering that he had never played the game before.

Still, the result is pretty clear in the end.]

Looks like my win.

[paradoxkey]

[At least he isn't much of a sore loser.]

Seems so. [His eyes narrow under the hood. Now what was his opponent going to ask of him?]

[firststeptodawn]

[As much as Riku, huh?

Hm, give him a moment to think...]

Take off the hood.

[He'd kind of like to see the face of the guy he's been playing with for the last half an hour.]

[paradoxkey]

[Aw... now the score's 0 to 1.... He rolls his eyes. Really. Was that all? He reaches up, pulling it down to reveal his bedhead of blond hair and probably too familiar blue eyes.]

Was that all you wanted for winning? [If so? Pathetic.]
