His tail resumed flicking, happyness in his face. "You sure? You can play any game you want, ya know.". Grimm answered while one of his hands rumaged in his jacket once more. The same metallic rustling sounds were heard once more, before pulling out the same abnormally large sack of florins. "You play with me, I'll pay you yer entry. How's that?".

"I see nothing wrong with some 21." replied the ronin politely.

"And that sounds like a most excellent deal. I do however feel I'm getting a lot out of this... I mean, you did pay for the carriage and all that..."

"Lots o' people here in town are loaded, lass. Besides, it's just a friendly game of Blackjack! This really isn't much compared to what a lot of others spend here.".

"Ah, I must be the odd one out then." she laughed, "I imagine quite a bit of money changes hands around here, huh?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

Grimm then rummaged through the huge bag, the sounds of mint being shuffled heard. When he pulled out his hand, it was packed with florins to the point of falling off. "Here, these should cover the fee. I think O grabbed 50, but count should I have grabbed less. As for oddness and money exchange? Hey, plenty of people leave here with less bang for their buck and cash here is in the millions. I'd dare say this is the richest place in the world, really!".

"Sure sounds like you carry quite a few things around Grimm..." remarked Kokoro with a smirk, "Maybe I'll be one of them. That'd be nice, traveling here was quite expensive after all... would be nice to profit from a trip, hahaha."

"Who knows? You might get lucky after all! Now let's play a good game of cards.". The bag was slowly shoved back into his jacket, the insides still shrouded in mystery. Before long, the panther began to walk over towards the various blackjack table, waving over to the lovely lizard to follow.

The ronin wouldn't mind winning it big, after all more coin in her pocket would be pretty good... she followed after her tour guide with a smile on her face. This outta be fun.

Grimm looked around at the other patrons, vast majority of them being men and the vast majority of those men losing. Their grunts of anger and desperation of loss after loss, reaching the point where some openly bet their own clothing in a loud enough manner made for a chuckle or two out of the female card players. But that wasn't related to what he was doing. If anything he was simply trying to find a good table. After some waves of his head and shuffles of the deck, he spotted a table where a middle-aged man played alone with the banker. The man was a coyote, a brown goatee and long fur, tailored suit and cane showing to his old age, whereas the female, a golden colored tabby that sported barely nothing besides black net stockings and a pair of matching white/gold brassiere that did absolutely nothing to cover her bare chest. She seemed to giggle each time the man made a bad play, showing just how gullible men are in a place of money.

"I do believe I found us a good table. Old coot seems like he's going on a losing war against womankind over there.".

The ronin kept looking about the area, her face a bit blushed at the unusual uniforms the women wore, and some of the distressing state of apparel for the men.

When Grimm spoke, she snapped out of her looking about and looked to the table he had found, she nodded her head.

"Looks great to me. The uniform here is quite... bare, isn't it?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

The panther nodded to Kokoro, his arms crossed. "Yep. Bon Bon's women are actually dangerous, lass. From armed escorts to trained in self defense. Rest assured, they bare it all to tempt men and pull their wallets dry. Only a select few show restraint. Here, it isn't a virtue. It's a necessity.". The old man suddenly let out a dejected sigh, his cards taken and what he had bet with them. The woman only giggled at his reaction. "Would you like to continue or would you like to cash out?".

With a heavy hand, the coyote pulled at the neck of his suit, hisdesperation noticeable a mile away. "I-I will press on."

Grimm only shook his head. "Guess he is still insisting on the tried and true strategies on casino's outside Bon Bon. Here, these fail harder than cheesy pickup lines. I don't think he'll last much longer at the table."

Kokoro nodded, "I see, quite impressive really. I guess there's more to this place then meets the eye..."

Watching the man losing at the table, she rubbed at her chin.

"Sure is quite persistent, isn't he? I always figured it'd be better to leave with something, then nothing. Oh well, guess it won't be long until we have a table to ourselves, eh?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

And before long, the aged coyote joined the desperate men in a howl of despair as he lost what very little remained of his chips on his very last hand. With a sad expression, he took his cane in hand and slowly stepped away from the table. At least he didn't bet his clothing.

Grimmjaw slowly walked on over to the table, the old man now lost in the casino crowd. Since he always seemed hasty and pushing a step ahead of the lady, he once again swung his arm towards her in signal. "Welcome to the Blackjack tables good sir. How may I help you today?". "Toss me some playin' chips lass. I'm gonna bet my luck on the cards lass.".

The tabby smiled, her gloved hands picking a small stack of chips from the winnings she had already made. "That will be 50 florins.".

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

Kokoro watched the man leave with a sly smile on her face, just as she thought. Following after Grimm, she flashed the girl a smile as well.

"May I have some chips as well? I'm hoping to walk out of here with more then I came in with, hahaha."

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

The female bowed with a smile, separating another stack of chips for Kokoro as well. "Entry fee's please?".. The tabby held out a Amal balance with a small bag at the end. Much easier way than to just count each florin by hand.

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

The ronin retrieved fifty florins that Grimm so kindly gave to her, and placed them into the bag.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

The panther placed his own set of the coins in the bag shortly after. The banker then produced two black pebbles and placed the two on the balance. After some light shaking, the two sides of the scale were evenly matched, signaling payment was in full. She immediately took a hold of the cards, shuffling them thoroughly with all manner of tricks. Splitting them into stacks, cutting them into different packs and finally making it into one large deck. Grimm simply leaned his head on the table, taking his chips in hand and flipping them from time to time.

With the deck shuffled properly, she immediately passed the cards around. 2 cards a piece for each, one choice for each to take. "Carda go first an bets follow. Please make sure to make known I you betchips and how many, or if you bet clothing.".

(( Would you like to handle ze card Odds or should I? ))

That girl sure could shuffle. The ronin flicked a chip between her fingers as she waited.

"Is there a maximum bet of any sort?"

(( And ah... if you could, I'd appreciate it. Shall we play out each hand or some such? ))

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Maximum bet per play is 100. Total chips are at five hundred, with color codes being red for 10, yellow for 25 and blue for 50. Plays go fast though.". The last part sounded more like a warning than part of the rules. 10 Red ones, 8 Yellow's and 6 Blue's. Made for a fine total of five hundred. The dealer then flipped over one of her cards... to reveal an eight of spades.

Grimm simply peaked at his cards, expecting a moderate hand.

(( Well, I could say a set of cards at random, or you could pick your own. Which would you prefer? ))

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

(( Random, so we can see how the game will unfold for me haha ))

Kokoro nodded in understanding, "Very well. Thank you. Offhand, how would you be valuing clothing, anyway?"

The ronin peeked at her cards casually as she talked.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Clothes are bet in four orders. These both apply to male and female.". The tabby pulled the weight plate to the side of the table and leaned toward, prepared to explain. "Tops are worth 50 chips. Pants or any part that applies is 100. Top undergarment is 250 and lower undergarment is 300. It's usually a last resort. Anything else you'd like to know?".

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

The lizard girl nodded her head, "No, not particularly. Thank you for answering. Although, offhand, do you dealers ever bet your clothing?"

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Hmm...". The tabby placed a hand on her cheek, looking upwards while she did so. "We do, yes, but that happens so rarely that most girls have never gotten farther than betting their brassiere. It is only done at the very end when the dealers run out of chips, where the same rule applies to us. If the player happens to win, they either take half their winnings and a free night with the dealer in the Delight Castle, or take their full winnings to cash out. Would that be all?". Her smile remained on her expression the entire time. Nothing beats service with a smile, eh?

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

Kokoro flashed a smile, "That'll be all. Thank you for putting up with my questions. I suppose we can carry onto our game now."

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Very well. I take it you are new to town, correct?". The tabby tilted her head to the side with an innocent giggle. "We don't often get female players, so this game will be intereting.". Grimm had been simply looking at his cards this entire time, not saying a word. His hand? 6 of hearts and a 6 of clubs. With such concentration, it made one wonder what was he thinking.

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

"Ah, yes I am. Very new in fact, this lovely gentleman has been showing me around, and now to introduce me to the casino." she chuckled, "Are female players so rare?"

The ronin had already committed her cards to memory, a king of hearts and a two of diamonds.

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

"Yes, most females who come to casino, mainly come here for work. Rare to see a gambler around.... now let's get on with the game.". The female dealer only bowed her head in formal respect before. As one of her hands flipped over one of the cards, it revealed the King of Diamonds.

"Place your bets please.". With this said, Grimmjaw slid foward three red chips, 30 In total. Be flipped his cards to reveal his hand to dealer and player alike whilst patiently thinking. Too much concentration on a card game, really.

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

So the dealer had a king as well... Kokoro didn't have the best opening hand, but it was far from bad. Noting Grimm's bet, she herself slide three red chips forward.

"I'll bet 30 as well."

Rank: Super Veteran Joined: 18 Dec 2009 Posts: 7678

The tabby then separated two sets of 3 red chips each, should either player have a winning hand. The panther then tapped twice on his cards. "Toss me a double down.". With a smile, Grimm pushed toward three more red chips to side with his others. The dealer immediately flipped and slid another card to the panther. An 8 of diamonds. This made his hand a 20, so it wasn't a bad deal by any means.

Rank: Senior Member Joined: 06 Jul 2008 Posts: 276

Kokoro let out a low whistle, "Not a bad opening hand there..."

She glanced to her own cards then tapped her cards, "I'll ah, just have a hit then. I think that's the right hand... gesture."
