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."

He bowed his head to a worthy competitor.

"I don't know. What can you do with calligraphy?"

"Write things," Triela laughed.

"Usually people use it very formal things. Wedding invitations, or letters or notes that should look very nice."

"I've never needed anything written formally," he admitted.

"Can I perhaps save my winnings for when I might need them?"

"Sure," Triela nodded. "But be warned: if I get pulled out of school, you've missed your chance."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Fair enough. And if they decide to kick me out, consider yourself off the hook."

"I'll keep that in mind."
