Oh-there's a trick to blackjack, isn't there?

[servidude]

That's your game huh?

[veritaphobia]

I'm not sure yet. It didn't seem to like me much earlier.

[servidude]

I'm afraid blackjack's not my specialty, but you do get a feel for it. Planning on trying again?

[veritaphobia]

I hope so. Though it looks like we might have to wait on more players.

[brobeforehos]

Aren't you a little too not jaded to be using tricks?

[veritaphobia]

Well-it's not an illegal one. Just a thought I had, that's all.

[brobeforehos]

You do have a very veritable poker face. Unless those are oxymorons.

[veritaphobia]

I think we can manage a crossover.

[binarysky]

That's what an old, uh...comrade of mine said about it.

[veritaphobia]

Really. I don't suppose he taught it to you.

[binarysky]

No. He said I'd have to learn it for myself. But he kept playing with me, so I bet I would have figured it out eventually!

[veritaphobia]

You're probably right. Blackjack isn't all that complicated.

[ smiling, properly. ]

Actually-did you want to try again?

/covers... timestamp... so very discreetly

[enterpainment]

... Blackjack? Really?

/accusing stare

[veritaphobia]

Well-it's a popular game.

/deadeyes

[enterpainment]

But it is also gambling, and gambling is a very bad life choice.

/pokes in the eye

[veritaphobia]

It's all right. We're having a friendly game, that's all.

[ ignore the fact that tsuna is still hiding in the casino somewhere, waiting for haru and chrome, and yes, still in a dirty torn wedding dress. ]

I heard something about counting cards on TV once...

[veritaphobia]

Ah-that one they frown on, I think. [ smiling. ] It takes the luck out of it.

[likeabawws]

They'd probably catch on and throw you out eventually.

[veritaphobia]

Then I guess it's lucky I'm not using it. I'm not very good at getting thrown.
