End of Day One




Michael watched the betting with great interest. He didn't expect to see such heavy betting so early in the day. The sheer number of bet changes boggled the mind. But he kept careful track, and made corrections with his pencil. By the end of the day, it was time for betting to end. And then, everyone showed their cards. They started with the low bets first, to build the tension.

Michael: Beskar, what do you got?

Beskar: *sheepishly* I got nothing. My highest card is a 10. What a mess. Good thing I didn't bet much.

Greyblades: two, three, three, four, five. Is that a straight?

Michael: No, that's a pair of threes.

Diana Abnoba: I got a pair of fives.

Skooma Addict: MUST.... HAVE.... MORE.... SKOOMA!!! *eats his own cards*

Michael: Okay, I'm not going to tell you again, if you eat your cards, you're disqualified.

Secura: Jacks.

Johnhughthom: Tens and threes!

Jolt: Okay boys, read 'em and weep. I got a full house, aces over ladies. So, Sasaki, let's see your cards.

Crazed Rabbit: Oh boy. Maybe I shouldn't have made this wager. Can I take some of it back?

Michael: No. *raises tommy gun* Leave those chips where they're at, rabbit.

Sasaki Kojiro: Oh no... why did I wager all of my chips? I'm going to be broke....

Michael points the gun at Sasaki

Michael: That's a real shame. I liked you, Sasaki. But it seems your luck has just run out.

Jolt: I'll just be taking my chips now...

Sasaki Kojiro: Hey, wait a minute, are aces high or low in this game?

Michael: Both. It's poker.

Sasaki Kojiro: POKER??? I thought we were playing Gin Rummy!

Michael: Gin Rummy has two players. What are you, a maroon?

Sasaki Kojiro: Well in that case I think I have a straight, or a flush. Whichever is better. I have a King, a queen, a jack, an ace, and a ten, all spades. Does a flush beat a full house?

Jolt: WHAT YOU SAY???

Crazed Rabbit: It looks like someone set us up the bomb.

Michael: Royal Straight Flush. That might explain why he bet his life savings. And we have a winner. Collect your chips, Sasaki.

Jolt: But.... but.... this is impossible!

Michael: Shut up, Tony. You just lost me a lot of money. I've had my fill of your incompetence. They're supposed to lose money, NOT the house.

Jolt: I had a full house!

Michael: Yeah? Well does a full house beat a royal straight flush, Tony?

Jolt: ....In Italy it does!

Romanic: No it doesn't, and I should know. Hand over the chips, Valerio.

Michael: This is the last straw Tony.

Jolt: Wait, I still gots some chips left, I can win it back! I can win it back!




*Michael pointed the gun at Tony, and opened fire, filling his body with hot, searing lead, and knocking him out of his chair.*







Michael: You're fired.




With that, Michael slid the chips back over to the winner, Sasaki. Feeling generous, he also let Romanic and Crazed Rabbit keep their chips. Then, he pocketed the rest. "Cover charge" he muttered. Since Michael was the man with the gun, no one protested the surcharge....
