Survival Skills [Wednesday, Period Four]

The Danger Shop was set up like classy, high-stakes casino, with Bond sitting in the dealer's position at a large poker table, idly shuffling a deck of cards.

"Today we'll be looking at gambling," he began, once the class was seated. "The kind you play against an opponent, rather than relying on luck, or the skills of people or animals other than yourself, simply because they rely on on the kind of skill sets that it would be frowned upon for me to teach you." As opposed to teaching them to play cards, yes.

"However," he continued. "The game is not stud, nor baccarat, nor Texas Hold'em. Instead you will be merely cutting the cards, since today, I'm going to be teaching you about bluffing, which is one of the most important skills a gambler, or anyone else for that matter can possess."

Bond then went on to explain bluffing as it applied to poker, and some of the ways you could pick up on if your opponent was bluffing or not, displaying a remarkable poker face the entire time. "Now, I want you all to pair off, and each of you will pick a card from the deck, I then want you to bluff your opponent as to the value of your card, betting on who has the higher value. You can play multiple games against multiple opponents if you wish, or watch a particularly interesting match so long as you don't overly interfere."

Gavin had virtually no experience with gambling so he was a little lost during the lecture.

Hurley paid close attention. This was the sort of class he really needed.

Adam had never gambled before, but he listened to the lecture anyway, occasionally jotting down some notes.

Turtle...was paying very close attention. It was incredibly dishonest, of course, but it was very important knowledge to know. One of those things that, applied properly, could be transferred to things more important than playing cards.

Liir was listening, but he wasn't sure how good he would be at this, or how good he would want to be.

Andros had never gambled before since he had not yet gambled for Zordon's key cards but he couldn't help but wonder if it was wrong if he used telekinesis in it.

Gavin picked a card and then waited for a partner.

Hurley picked up a card and made a face.

Yeah, nice bluffing, Hurley.

"Hey," he said to Gavin. "You wanna, like, pair up?"

"Okaaaaay," Triela muttered to herself doubtfully as she looked around. She didn't think this was likely to come up for her back home.

Liir wandered over, not having talked to her previously but--

"Care to team up?"

"I had a question," Triela began, "But it's not about class."

And Gavin was there, still trying to understand gambling.
