This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Haruhi anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:

It's not like we have any money, though. What are we supposed to bet?

[godbent]

All sorts of things - favors, foods, dares, clothing...

[installing]

Clothing? What do you mean? [Obviously this girl has never played strop poker.]

[ex_affability656]

[That sounds a bit sketchy.]

Food and favors are good ideas. The question is how you're going to assign them a value.

[automailed]

[Cl... clothes... no, no, no, he is not getting forced to take his shirt off again. Thank you Hughes.]

It could be valued based on how easy it is. Like something low for me could be "make something", but a high value would be "make something without using alchemy".

[godbent]

In that case, we'll split it up into a category of a high, medium, or low bet based on each individual set of skills. Go from there.

[installing]

I guess that sounds good. [She doesn't add much to the conversation. The girl is still trying to wrap her head around the game. The left over sickness is making her a little slow on the pick up.]

[ex_affability656]

[Already assessing playtime with Elicia as the highest value over here.]

Right. So who goes first?

[automailed]

We should get a demonstration first. [Looking pointedly at Haruhi now.]

[godbent]

Fine, then if I was the dealer I'd roll and you would bet against it.

5-5-1]


...One. Really.

[installing]

I'm next?

[4-5-4.] Five?

[ex_affability656]

[He's so got this.

4-6-6.] Looks like six for me.

[automailed]

[Welp. 1-6-6. At least his luck is consistent even with dice.]

What happens when two people are tied?

[godbent]

Push. You don't win or lose - in this case both Winry and Mr. Hughes would win.

...We need a score card.

[...Tap tap. Annoyed she lost even in practice]

[installing]

Do we have paper anywhere around?

[ex_affability656]

Hang on--I've got some.

[That's right, he's got your back.]

[automailed]

[Go go Hughes! Be a scorekeeper. And don't cheat.]

Do the bets get traded every round, or is there a set number?

[godbent]

Hmm. [She considers a moment and then nods to herself] Accumulated Debt after maybe ten rounds? Or five...

[installing]

Five, I think. [She not sure how many rounds she can take, so keeping it small would be good.]

[ex_affability656]

Five sounds good. If we want to play more after that, we can always start a new game with new bets.

[automailed]

Yeah, five's fine with me. [Edward gives the dice a toss; he figures if they all go in one round the order doesn't matter that much. ...4-4-2. Dammit.]

1/2

[godbent]

So Ed's dealer this time, place your bets against his two. Incidentally, I'm betting high.

[ROLL.

...1-3-4 damn you RNG]

2/2

[godbent]

[A bust :|

HANGS HEAD]

[installing]

[Well that sucks. Uh...] I'm betting medium.

[3-3-4. Cool!]

[ex_affability656]

I'll bet medium as well.

[Let's see how this goes first.

3-2-1.

Rats.]
