Thirty one. [Text]

[nantokanare]

What's the point of having a casino if there's no one running it? I learned to play poker, and now I have no one to practice with.

Maa, it's too bad. I guess videogame poker will be good enough.

I can play poker... I think.

You think?

I can play, but I'm pretty crap at it.

[nantokanare]

As long as you know how, that's good enough.

[oneeveryminute]

I know enough to lose.

You wanna play a game?

[nantokanare]

Mm. I think Ms. Janelle wants to play, too.

[Perhaps this is what she needed to distract herself.]

I'd be happy to join you whenever you wish, Akagi.

You play, Ms. Janelle?

[In his time and country, gambling is a very masculine pastime. For a woman as pretty as Janelle to be interested is surprising, to say the least.]

I hope you don't think I arranged for games at the masquerade because of a passing fondness for cards.

If you're as good at poker as you are at Kottobas then I imagine I'll have a challenge on my hands for once.

[Just the way she liked it.]

If you're as good as poker as you are at Kottobas then I wont.

We have two other volunteers. I hope that's enough.

What's poker?

[text]

[nantokanare]

It's a game.

[text]

[yousoundblue]

[That narrows it down nicely Akagi, thank you.]

What kind of game?

[text]

[nantokanare]

[You're welcome!]

A psychological one.

I play poker pretty damn well.

[nantokanare]

Oh? Maybe you can teach me something.

[thenotmagician]

Maybe I could.
