<font color='#810541'>"it is quite easy really" he threw then two cards each from a pile of 52 hand made cards from his bag "the point is to get the closestto 21, but not over. if you go over you lose. if someone has a higher number than you but that number is not over 21 you lose. you get closer by asking for a card from the deck but you do not have to. you win if you dont go over and have the highest combine number of cards...get it? also i might add a twist to it latter after you guys get the hang of it</font>
<font color='698AAB'>\\ OOC: hehehe, isn't that blackjack, not poker? \\ IC Anezka nods, a little confused by the directions, but that was to be expected. She was only a child, after all. She goes to pick up her cards, then pauses, <span style='color:#B69D85'>"Can I look at them?"</span> She remembered older niotis getting very angry at her when she did that a long time ago, playing a similar card game. Sigh. One of many fights she had to get out of.</font>
<font color='#A255'>"Sounds familiar," Hype mused, and took his cards almost lazily. He had engaged in more gambling than was healthy, and had, on a number of occasions, managed to 'beat the house', as they say. So card games never lost their appeal to this guy. In response to Anezka, even though it wasn't his game, he said "Of course, or else how could you make a rational decision on whether to draw a card or not?" A pause, and then he reached for the cake. After serving himself, Hype almost cautiously took a bite, chewed it daintily, and swallowed. For a moment, it looked as though he were going to disapprove, but that was obviously false once he quipped, "Delicious."</font>
<font color='#A255'>"hit." and he reached for the pile, withdrawing a card. upon glancing at it, he smiled wider, and seemed almost about to laugh. gaze shifted towards the birthday girl, awaiting her move, and wondering why they weren't betting stuff.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Anezka looks at her cards, and counting them, weighs the odds. <span style='color:#B69D85'>"Um.. hit."</span> She had a low enough score that another card couldn't hurt.</font>
<font color='#A255'>he glanced to anezka, Â not wanting to reveal his apparently very pleasing hand just yet. edit: hee, i put zeva rather than anezka the first time.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>\\ OOC: hehehe, you don't know how many times I've mucked up names before... XD \\ IC Anezka looks at her cards, and without any fear or 'poker face', as she didn't know she should have one, flips over a 3, a 7, and a 9. She wasn't rather fast at math, but she knew that added up to a number less than 21. .... 19. Yes, 19. That complete, she looks up at them with a big grin, waiting to see what they had.</font>
<font color='698AAB'>Anezka points to the flipped over cards in front of her, in plain view, <span style='color:#B69D85'>"Nineteen! I think.."</span> she counts them agan. The childs nods, assured, <span style='color:#B69D85'>"Yup! Nineteen."</span></font>
<font color='#A255'>"A contrare, what do you have?" He smiled, tilting his hand towards him just the slightest bit. Hype had a fondness for revealing last.</font>
<font color='#810541'>OOC its called a one because all thoses names would be 'confusing' for the characters</font>
