"The idea is to get the best hand," Jack answered back still blinking a little before slowly wavering back into his full stamina of sorts. "There are so many cards on the table... and you have to bet in to get in... then you have to make the best hand with the cards that are flipped on the table... I'm sure the dealer can explain it better....." What? WHAT? D< BLACK JAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKK the last words of BJ had enraged Third for reasons that BJ himself wasn't even sure of at that point ._.;.

Vengeance nodded and walked toward the table, expecting Jack more or less to follow since he hadn't left her alone yet /_-;...the fool was beginning to be tiresome. Just as this thought crossed Vengeance's mind, a pokeball popped open and a Torchic fell onto the floor. Shaking her head back and forth, Edana looked around to see where she was and caught sight of Vengeance walking away. Chirping in surprise, she chased after her trainer and hopped onto a chair then onto the poker table. Vengeance sat down at the table, paying the Torchic little heed as she looked at the dealer,"How do I play..."
Edana blinked and looked at the dealer before seeing the purple haired man a little ways away. o3o wait hadn't she seen him before and and he was here with Vengeance and <3 this was wonderful~! Uttering a happy chirp, she hopped down from the table and ran over to the waiter that had served Jack moments earlier and pulled at his pant leg, hoping to get his attention. Maybe she could get her Vengeance and the man some champagne~ yes that would be good~.

The purple haired man watched as the woman he was currently at Paradise Island with move to sit down at the poker table. For an odd two seconds, three things went through his mind at once. I really don't- Ripper had started. Aw our little girl's growing up to play poker~ Casanova had cut it. She might just be the god of the poker face.... Third suddenly stated silencing the two prior as this thought came to mind fully. ._. Well............ she didn't show much.............of anything most of the time.......... and...... A rather interesting laugh escaped Black Jack Spade, and in another moment, he had walked over and finally sat down with a lighter ease about himself. Several men and one woman wearing an extreme orange feather hat looked over as Vengeance had sat down. The first man to finally make full comment appeared to be the dealer who had stopped the cards in the midst of it. "Well first I'll deal out two cards to everyone at the table," the dealer answered back. "And then you bet how much better your cards are than everyone else's." The woman at the table smirked at this for one reason or another. "And you can choose to fold, call, or raise. Folding means you give up and you're taken out of the game. Call means you pay the needed pay, and raise means you go a bit higher in betting.. and the end, those that are still in look at their cards and compare with what'll end up on the table and see who wins," he finished. Jack seemed to be staring off into the space in front of him for some reason and finally blinked when the dealer had finished speaking. "You'll get a better hang of it when you play, want to try?" the purple haired man asked with an easy smile. The waiter was possibly the only one who really noticed the Torchic, and for a few seconds, he stared........ After those seconds were up, he breathed out and then forced a smile. "Do you need something, little one?" he asked rather lightly.

Vengeance listened to the dealer and nodded, it seemed easy enough after all. When Jack asked if she wanted to play, Vengeance was silent for a moment before finally nodding. "Sure, I'll try it..."she stated and waited for the dealer to deal the cards...or chips...whatever may be the case.
Edana chirped happily and nodded before hopping up and down, obviously excited. She hadn't expected to actually get the man's attention but now she had it~ ^_^. After her initial excitement had passed, Edana noticed the bottle in the man's hand and chirped rather happily before gesturing towards the big bottle in his hands, flapping her short wings excitedly as she did so, hoping that she could make it clear that she wanted that bottle.

With that, the game was off and running...er...rather circling... The first round moved rather slowly, in fact, as Jack spoke in between turns about raising some more and things of that nature before putting his own chips down. Somewhere in the back of his mind, Jack was more or less distracted. Casanova had somehow started a fight with Ripper yet again, and the two were bickering to the point he could barely concentrate anymore. Eh, so much for luck, it seemed. The waiter stared at the bird pokemon and then slowly looked at the bottle in his hand and then back at the bird. "Um," he stated aloud unsure of what to say after that. "Did you want this......or your trainer maybe?" he asked after a few seconds somewhat unnerved that he was in fact talking to a fire chicken rather than actually doing his work at this point.

Vengeance studied her cards carefully and more or less copied Jack when he raised. With the cards on the table and those in her hand...well perhaps she might be good at this game after all.
Edana nodded and chirped happily, jumping and flapping her wings excitedly before pointing to where her trainer sat with the man and looked up at the waiter with wide, pleading, expectant eyes. He could see that they really needed the bottle...right~?

As the cards were reveled on the table, Jack seemed to brighten considerably. An Ace right off the bat... flowed by... a Ten? Eh...... Jack looked at his cards and continued to work through another circle of it. The waiter seemed to slowly nod and then started over towards the table. Why the heck was he even listening to a.... well...uh... Torchic... yes that was the name for the species... but why was he listening to it? Ugh... he wasn't even sure at that point...... "Did you want a drink, sir, miss?" he asked looking to both Jack and Vengeance. Jack looked over and shrugged before nodding.

Vengeance looked down at her cards and then back at the cards on the table before putting in another chip, thereby raising the pot. Hearing the waiter ask her something, she turned and saw the champagne in his arms and looked briefly at Jack before finally nodding yes.
Edana chirped happily when the waiter understood what she wanted and hopped happily over to the table. Seeing Jack shrug off the waiter, Edana's face fell D8 what?! He couldn't but but they and she and he DDD8. Why was he so silent?!? They should be holding hands and and well...they had at least accepted the drink~. That was a start right? Right? <3

The waiter went off to actually pour the drinks, and in another moment, Jack had turned back to the game. It continued around again, and it seemed that the woman in the corner finally cut to her loses and folded. A man half laughed but ended up folding too for one reason or another. The game continued on for a bit, and eventually the drinks were brought. Jack took a sip of his before looking back at the table again rather easily.

Vengeance took a sip of her drink and continued to watch the game, after a few rounds, she raised yet again and ended up winning that particular round with quite a few chips to show for it, it certainly seemed that Vengeance was quickly picking up how to play the game.
Edana's face fell when she saw that neither Jack nor Vengeance were paying attention to each other D8 but but but shouldn't they be holding hands or or or smiling DDD8. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Edana jumped on Jack's lap and looked up at him, chirping softly to get his attention before looking back at Vengeance. He had champagne right? Shouldn't there be something he should be doing? Anything?

Jack stared down at the small pokemon that was now in his lap. After a few seconds, he turned his head to one side and reached down before patting the bird on the head and then setting her on the ground again before looking back at his cards. The heck was that about...... Ripper hissed towards the bird (though technically she probably couldn't hear then anyways). Maybe she wants us to try a bit more with our lovely guest~ Casanova giggled rather madly for a few seconds. BJ was slowly starting to realize he once again in the middle of a battle field of sorts between the two of them to which the Third was too busy off somewhere to quell them. Shaking his head a bit, Jack looked down at his cards again and then raised everything for that round effectively ending it that turn. There was a total of four left, and after a moment, Jack set his cards with a rather nice Straight and waited to see what the others had pulled.

Edana's face fell when she was simply petted and set on the ground. Wait no DDDDD8 he was supposed to take her hand and then kiss her or something why didn't he understand! DD8 Suddenly an idea formed in the Torchic's mind, making her squeak rather excitedly, looking up to make sure that Vengeance wasn't watching...which she wasn't, Edana formed a fire rose between her and Jack. Thankfully the rose was on Vengeance's blind side so she wouldn't see it but the man would~ maybe he'd get the message then? Looking rather hopefully up at the man, Edana waited to see what would happen. Vengeance looked at the cards on the table and finally laid down her cards, revealing a full house. She wasn't sure if her cards would beat what Jack had but by the way the dealer explained the rules well Vengeance figured she had a fairly good chance. Looking at the dealer, Vengeance waited to see what the verdict was on who had won the game, completely oblivious to anything Edana was doing at the moment.

The dealer looked at Vengeance and then at Jack. Those still at the table recealed some formidable cards, yet none at that moment could beat Vengeance's hand. After a moment, Jack found himself chuckling aloud. She's not bad at all....... Casanova commented lightly. Who ever said she wasn't? BJ's own thoughts asked back as he looked back at Vengeance. The dealer shrugged and probably assumed something along the lines of 'beginner's luck' and then shoved the large amount of chips at Vengeance. Several at the table were rather surprised to say the least of it. Jack was all but laughing harder now. "Looks like you can wipe the floor with just about anyone," he grinned at Vengeance rather lightly. It was then that his eye actually caught the Torchic. However, Jack only say itf or a few seconds before his eye had moved up again. Ah... he missed it, apparently........

Vengeance's stoic expression didn't change as she accepted the chips and waited for the next round to begin. Looking over at Jack as he made the comment about her sweeping the floor Vengeance sighed softly, "I was only playing cards..."she said before returning her attention to the table just as the dealer dealt another hand to each player. Picking up her cards, Vengeance looked at them and tossed in some chips to start. The rules of the game were pretty basic after all, it was just a matter of having the correct cards to win. Edana uttered a small chirp of dismay when she realized that Jack hadn't seen the rose. DDDD8 what was wrong with him!?! Didn't he understand what he should be doing?! They had champagne right? Champagne was supposed to help with romance but they and she and he and DDD8. Furrowing her brow, the Torchic tried to think of another way to try and get the point across. Maybe she could try another rose and o3o a heart would be good too yes, maybe that would last longer! Concentrating hard, Edana formed another rose in between Jack and Vengeance (still on Vengeance's blind side) but this time formed a smoky heart around the rose. Satisfied that this would convey the message and make Vengeance look pretty too, Edana watched Jack with bright eyes to see what he would do next.

Jack put in some chips as well and then looked sideways for half a second. Staring at the Torchic, Jack blinked slowly. Hahahah <3 I love that Torchic... do you know what she's saying? /I/ I know what she's saying~ Come on~ Let's try and get Vengeance to open up a bit more come on come on come on~! Casanova would have been on the edge of his seat had he been in a movie theater. Ripper, on the other hand, was not amused in the least and was quietly threatening things that BJ himself was trying to ignore. After a few seconds, Jack looked sideways and then leaned back a bit before putting one arm on the back of Vengeance's chair before looking at his cards again. "Well, you play cards perfectly," he grinned after a few seconds. Ripper was rolling his eyes so much that Jack had to force himself not to roll his eyes. The game was going again if a tad more fluidly than the first game.

Vengeance was looking at her cards and studying what the dealer had just revealed on the table to see what she could do with her hand so much so that she didn't even notice Jack put his arm on her chair. Hearing Jack compliment her stopped Vengeance in her tracks for a moment, wondering why exactly he'd said that...nothing could be gained from cards...just a pile of chips that Vengeance wasn't still entirely sure what the purpose of the plastic tokens were. Something about money Jack had said...not that it mattered anyway, it was a game and nothing more. Looking over at Jack for a moment, Vengeance nodded and seemed to smile, but then again perhaps it could've been a trick of the light. "It's pretty basic once the rules are explained..."she replied before turning back to study her hand once again and throw in some more chips, "But....thanks....."Edana nearly chirped in delight when Jack finally, FINALLY[/b] got the message but clamped her beak shut at the last moment. Uttering a small chirp of delight, hardly noticeable to anyone in the room, she hid underneath Jack's chair and waited to see if Vengeance would notice. When her trainer failed to do anything Edana almost did a faceplant ~_~ she just needed more convincing is all...o3o yes chocolates and and flowers maybe but >> << >> ohhey the waiter! Walking over to the waiter that had brought Vengeance and Jack the champagne, she tugged on his pant leg again and waited expectantly for him to give his attention to her.

Jack seemed to smirk a little and was rather pleased with the response despite the fact that it was only a 'thank you' of sorts. Teheheheheh Casanova laughed in the back of BJ's mind, and in truth, he could only understand a bit of why.......After a few seconds, he leaned back again and continued that round. Several people folded in that round leaving five people in it. The waiter, who had been working rather diligently at serving another guest who appeared to be all but extremely drunk, turned and stared at the Torchic for a few seconds and sweat dropped greatly. Was that... the fire chicken from... His eyes narrowed and then relaxed again wondering if he would be assumed crazy for talking to a Torchic. "Did you need something else?" he asked after a moment.

Vengeance continued to study her cards, oblivious to Jack's reaction as she watched the other people fold. Looking at her cards again, Vengeance put in more chips to raise the pot and watched the other people to see if more would continue to fold. Vengeance was so intent on the game in fact that she gave little notice to Jack, or anyone else save her own cards. Edana chirped in delight and nodded before furrowing her brow trying to figure out how she was going to tell him exactly what she wanted. Wait...maybe she could make fire images like she did with Jack yes that would work~, concentrating rather hard, Edana made what appeared to be a bouqet of roses and...a box of sorts to try and indicate that she wanted chocolate as well. Looking up at the waiter with eager eyes, Edana waited to see if he would understand.

The game continued, and after another minute, the hands were to be shown. Jack flipped out a Heart filled Royal Flush. A sudden surprised look came from most at the table, yet the purple haired man simply grinned more than before and waited to see if anyone could even match it. The waiter nearly jumped out of his skin when he saw the fire. However, after a few seconds, he managed to breathe out and then slowly nodded. Ah... ok... and...Why would a Torchic need flowers and a box of some sorts? Er... uh?

Vengeance looked at Jack's hand and laid her own hand down, revealing a straight diamond flush and waited to see what the dealer would do. Edana chirped in dismay when the waiter didn't seem to understand and tried to make the box again. o3o oh there we go, the box now looked like a box that would contain chocolates...or at least it appeared that way. Looking up at the waiter, the Torchic waited for the flowers at least but D8 why wasn't he getting them? D8 Vengeance needed to get them from Jack and then they would be happy . Hopping up and down and flapping her wings anxiously, the Torchic nodded over to the table and motioned to Jack hoping that that would protray the message that Jack was the one that needed them.
