Ok. I'll get going. "Hey ladies I'm kinda on a time crunch here so I don't have the time here. I would love to see your dance sometime though I might even pay for the happy ending later." The girls pout and stop dancing telling him that he better be back off to find some other guy.

Shiro continues his search, having found neither the ball nor someone he could ask about it. He passes by a card table, deep in thought. "Hey, Spikey. Over here!" Shiro turned to see the dealer waving at him. "Why don't you play a hand?"

Gozu hovers up and follows Shiro searching with him. "So where do you think the dragonball is?" Gozu asks checking his radar but he can't get any more zoomed in then he already is. He turns his head as Shiro is yelled at by a dealer.

"No clue." Shiro says in answer to Gozu's question. As to the dealer, he answers, "No thanks, I'm busy."
"Looking for something, right?" The dealer asks, posing as he shuffles the deck. "I might know where you can find what you're looking for."

Gozu looks towards Shiro. "Hey if he has information we might as well humor him. We could spend hours searching this place anyway." "What would we have to do to get this information?" Gozu asks the dealer.

Shiro nods and listens as the now smirking dealer explains. "All you've got to do is win a game of cards against me and I'll answer any question. BUT-" he continues, "you have to wager at least 15,000 zenie, capiche?"

Post by Gozu on Jun 24, 2009 14:47:11 GMT -5
"15,000 man that's a lot of zenie." Gozu says to Shiro "But I guess we don't have a choice do we? Unless we just want to go searching blindly forever." Then to the card dealer "What are we playing?"
|
|

Post by Shiro on Jun 24, 2009 15:27:04 GMT -5
"Uh, Gozu, do you even have 15,000 zenie? Cause I don't." Shiro asked, as the dealer replied. "You ever play 21 before?"

Gozu pulls out his wallet where he keeps his zenie "Let's see....here." Gozu begins to count out his zenie. "38 thousand 5 hundred and twenty" Gozu tells a probably shocked Shiro. Then to the dealer. "No." The dealer smirks. "We'll it's easy all you have to do is get the cards to equal 21. Face cards are 10 and Aces are 1 or 11. Understand?"

Shiro's jaw dropped, and he didn't hear the dealer's next words. Not that it mattered, since he'd played this game before. "Well, then, you mind betting for me and I'll pay you back later if I lose?"

Gozu places the money on the table. "Sure Shiro just don't lose" The dealer smiles. "Alright one player one hand you win you keep your money and I give you the information. I win I get the money. Agreed?" The dealer waits for Shiro to agree before he deals the cards.

Shiro nodded. "That's fine." The dealer grinned and shuffled the cards a couple more times, before dealing out two for them both, his first one face down, but the other three face up. Shiro looks at his and holds back a groan. Great, fifteen on the start.

Gozu watches as Shiro gets 15 That can't be good he needs 21 right? Gozu thinks as the dealer gets a 10 face up. Oh man that's not good. Gozu thinks as he waits to see how the game unfolds.

Shiro frowns as the dealer checks his other card, to see if it's an ace. That would royally suck. Luckily it wasn't, but the dealer was still grinning. Shiro sighed in relief. At least I have a chance, now. "Hit me." The dealer draws another card, laying it on top of the other two; a four. And that brings me up to nineteen. "Stay."

That's pretty good 19 only two numbers higher. We stand a pretty good shot I think, but he was smiling that can't be good. Gozu thinks as the dealer flips over his card as Gozu prays it's a 8 or lower.

It's a nine. "Well, what do you know. We're tied." The dealer grins up at Shiro. "Guess that means we have to try again, huh?"
Shiro sighs and nods. "Guess so."

Gozu sighs a sigh of relief as he sees the nine. Least we didn't lose Gozu thinks as the dealer shuffles the deck. Let's hope we get lucky. Gozu thinks as the dealer starts to deal out the cards.

Shiro is dealt two more cards, a five and a six this time, while dealer shows a jack. Eleven, much better. Now I just hope his other card isn't an ace...

The dealer looks and it isn't an ace obviously he shows no emotion as he looks back to look at Shiro. "Hit or stay friend?" Gozu crosses his arms as he watches the game unfold. 11 that's pretty good isn't it? Then a 10 can win it.

"Hit." Shiro says, and the dealer draws a card. It isn't the ten he hoped for, but a nine works out well enough. "I'll stay there."

Gozu smiles Alright a twenty that's gonna be tough to beat. He'll have to hit 21 to win. Now we can finally get our information. Gozu thinks as the dealer flips over his card to play his hand.

The dealer flips his card revealing... another jack. "Well, what do you know? Another tie. Looks like the cards don't want you finding whatever it is you're looking for." The dealer says with a smirk.
Shiro sighed again. "Just deal another hand."

Post by Gozu on Jun 24, 2009 16:14:25 GMT -5
Gozu sighs again. Another tie. Are you kidding me? Gozu paces around as the dealer shuffles the cards. "You could join if you want for 15,000 more zenie" The dealer says as he shuffles and passes out the cards.

Shiro looks at his two cards; seven and six. Great, lucky thirteen. Let's hope it cancels out my current bad luck. Shiro thinks, turning to look at Gozu as the dealer asks if he wants to join.

Gozu waves off the dealer. "I'll see how this hand plays out. If y'all tie again I'll join." Gozu says as he walks back over the table stopping his pacing. 13 that's not very good. Gozu thinks as he thinks he's getting a grasp on this game.

The dealer shows another seven. Well, at least it isn't ten this time. Shiro thinks with a small smile. "Hit me." The dealer draws a card and looks at it, then smirks and sets it on Shiro's other two. It's an eight.
"Well what do you know, twenty one. And it only took three games to get it."

"YES!" Gozu yells pumping his fist in the air no one even pays him attention as that's a pretty common occurrence around here. "Alright we won." Gozu says as he reaches down and takes his money and puts with the rest. "Now for our information."

Post by Shiro on Jun 24, 2009 16:29:33 GMT -5
The dealer smirks. "Yes, yes. Now, what is it you're looking for?"
"We're looking for an orange crystal ball, about the size of a fist, with between one and seven black stars inside it."

Post by Gozu on Jun 24, 2009 16:32:08 GMT -5
The dealer smiles and nods his head. "Aw yes I believe we have one of those here. I believe it has sevens stars on it. And it's the prize in the lottery. You'll have to be lucky to win it." "Where do we go to enter the lottery?" Gozu asks.

The dealer points to the large tower in the middle of the room. "There should be a desk over there. It's 100 zenie for each ticket." He then starts shuffling his cards again. "Now if you'll excuse me, I get paid by the game." And he turns towards another green man, asking him for a game.
