because Kaiji loves to lose

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

Who: genius_idiot, and whoever decides to show up!
When: 1:00AM, Sept. 28
Where: a spare room in the basement of the Back-End Bar.
Rating: PG-13?
Warnings: Gambling, booze, man tears, whatever.

On September 27, everyone will receive a text from Kaiji with the following information:
Poker tonight (game & buy-in tbd), basement of bar, 1:00AM. Anyone welcome.

Of course, he's not taking into account minors, but that doesn't mean they can't sneak in, right?

To anyone who comes, Kaiji will be sitting at a table, shuffling some cards, a case of cheap beer sitting next to him to share with everyone. Several chairs surround the table, and a case of poker chips sits open, waiting to be sorted. Fifty dollars sits on the table in front of Kaiji - that's what he plans for a buy-in for now, but is willing to adjust if need be.

Kaiji will give a nod to anyone who walks in. "Have a seat, grab a drink. Do you know how to play?"

[[OOC - no need to thread out games in their entirety, that gets a bit monotonous imho! This is an open log, so feel free to mill around, win or lose some cash, sneak in, have some drinks, whatever you want! The game is 5-card stud. Enjoy!]]

"Huh? What do you mean? That's what you dealt me!"

Sakurako blinks, looking confused. And then she points at the pot.

"So that means I win, right?"

"How could I have even-- Do you even know what the odds of this are?! This is..."

Face in hands now. This is believable. Why was his luck always like this?!

Sakurako smiles, giving a good-natured laugh as she rakes in her winnings.

"Wow, I've already more than doubled what I came in with!"

Kaiji picked up the remaining deck to make sure everything had been shuffled. He'd done it a dozen times himself - there was no cheating tonight, no reason to. Just a friendly, open game, something for fun and a little profit. They were shuffled just fine, of course.

"Y-Yeah... Shit. You are one lucky kid, do you have any idea?"

"Yeah, my friends always tell me that too," Sakurako explains as she rakes in her winnings. "I usually win all the lunch tickets when we're betting on which class is going to get the top test scores and stuff like that, too."

"Too bad you can't hit the casino, if you really are that luck. You'd be a millionaire."

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I bet I could really make a lot of money there... then I wouldn't have to worry about getting a job or anything!"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but you're way too young to get in."

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

"I got in here, though, didn't I?"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"....You got a point there. There's more security at the casino thought..."

But already, the gears are turning in his head.

"Maybe I could wear a mask!"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"That would only make you way more obvious!"

[go-go-lets-go.livejournal.com]

"What if I pretended to be your sister or something?"

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

"That's more believable, but that still wouldn't let you in. There's gotta be a way, though. Then we can see how really lucky you are."

"Hmmmmmm... oh! I know! What if I pretended like I worked there or something?"
