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."

"No one seems to have what I need in stock," Triela answered truthfully, if somewhat misleadingly. "And they're being difficult about special orders."

"Just a couple of flame throwers," she tossed off as if it were no big deal.

"Sure," Triela continued in her off-hand tone. "I want to let people try out some stuff they wouldn't normally in club this semester." You know. In case it ever comes up in life.

"Hey!" Triela sounded offended. "Are you saying that I wouldn't handle it responsibly? I know how to use a flame thrower!"

Triela opened her mouth to object, then paused.

Then she thought about some of the people in the club.

"Oh."

Good point.

"But some of them are totally trust-worthy," Triela objected half-heartedly.

"No," she admitted half-dejectedly. "Maybe I can come up with something similar that doesn't involve the school getting burned down."

"I'll keep that in mind." She cocked her head, "If you have any ideas, let me know too?"
