Having Fun (Open)

[Saga Aoi]

(Sure. Mahado and I are in a converstion, so feel free to join in.)

[Saga Aoi]

Grinning as she shuffled a deck of cards before a couple of nameless Reds, Yellows and Blues, Saga bowed slightly "Why thank you for participating in this game of chance. Can you beat the dealer in a game of Blackjack? What're your bets, gentlemen?"

The few girls that had gathered around to watch backed off slightly in disgust, apparently finding that betting things for anything was stupid. The few boys that stood around all placed a rare card down on the makeshift table Saga made. She nodded slowly, watching the others "Mm.. high stakes, huh? I'll bet my Horus, the level eight one."

She placed the rare card down with a grin as she dealt the first two cards "Stay or hit?"

As they responded all for a hit, Saga placed the cards facedown in front of the the three boys, pointing out one boy as he busted at 22 once he revealed it, she accepting his rare card gleefully.

One was at 19, the other boy at 13.. The boy at 13 asked for a hit, the other decided to stay. Saga dealt the one card to the boy who had 13 and smiled as he revealed a Jack and smiled "I'm afraid you lose out, big boy. Thank you for playing."

The boy who had 19 swallowed and shook his head "I'm staying."

"Alright.. Dealer has.. Oh perfect! A perfect Blackjack~!" she said enthusiactically, accepting the three rare cards, one a Chaos Emporer Dragon, another a Harpy's Pet Baby Dragon, the third a Dark Armed Dragon.. none of which she'd use but rather use as ante later..

The three boys walked away in defeat, being chastised by one another.

Saga held up her hands to her face and smiled "Aww.. done already? But we were just getting started~"

[Xenneth Hikari]

Another night started to descend, and another time for Xenneth to materialize in the real world once more. He had almost rushed towards the center of the Realm of Light's gate pad as he had stood there while his angelic friends had flew from above the hidden corridors of the realm and stared down. Some confused, some smiling with interest and mischievously as they had saw him in a rush.

"Looks like master is really excited to return to the Real World now." The blue haired and winged angel had announced as she stared down towards him while he had started to swipe his hands making images appear of the Duel Academy campus and locations. One of the angels that had floated above had accursed black wings that seemed like they should belong to a bat. She grunted as she stared down at him as well. "More excited than usual? I wonder why..." she commented only being sarcastic knowing in truth.

"Masta's going to go see that ther girl, right?" a blonde haired angel had asked with the country dialect. Before he knew it, he had chose to materialize near the main building as he had waved to his angelic friends with a smile. "I'll see you later girls! I just hope I don't have to get into a duel and call you too early!" He had said with a smile as the angelic figures had floated freely while waving back.

"Nonsense masta'! You just call us when you need us! Have fun!" the blonde angel answered for them as in a burst of light, Xenneth had vanished and instantly appeared near the entrance of the academy while looking around with first glance. "I woner where Saga-san is?" he had asked.

[Saga Aoi]

Standing, Saga was already packing away her makeshift dealer's table into a middle-sized briefcase and dusted herself off as she stood, stowing away her earned goods for the day. She didn't lose once. She had made herself feel better from last time where she lost a rare Vorse Raider but gained that and a lot of other things back just now.

She stetched out with a grin and giggled "More to add to the ante collection~ Skull and Grace should be happy with the results of today.. Wonder if they're still asleep..?"

she started walking and stopped short seeing Xenneth and smiled, waving her arm with her grin "Hey, Zen~"

[Xenneth Hikari]

Xenneth had reacted hearing the voice as he had saw Saga in the distance. With a smile he had slowly jogged up to her almost resisting the urge to run, but he still had that flustered look on his face as he couldn’t look at her the same way after yesterday. Now he thought she looked cute no matter how she looked, but putting that aside he had approached with his hands behind his back shyly as he smiled and nodded.

“G-good evening Saga!” he had said as he slowly brought his hands behind his back and pressed his finger tips together, bridging them in a distinguished way. “How are you today?” he had asked as he stared at her.

[Saga Aoi]

"Super~ I won stuff, see?" she fanned out the array of rare and super rare cards, even an ultimate or two in the wide spread of cards. She gave a wide grin and giggled "Got an urge that today was a lucky day."

[Xenneth Hikari]

Xenneth had smiled as he tilted his head seeing Saga happy. "That's great Saga! Umm...what did you play to win them?" he had asked thinking she must've won some sort of lucky drawing or maybe even event during school, but he hadn't heard of such a thing lately. He was at most oblivious of how far her gambling nature could go sometimes.

[Saga Aoi]

"Simple games of Blackjack~ I'd put up an ante of something and so would they. They'd raise the ante and dealer must go with it and ante it up. Hee hee~ I lost last time I did this.. last week I think. I redeemed myself in winning all of these~" she grinned and stuffed them into a little case that read "Ante Box" on the front of it.

"I might do it again tomorrow. That was fun~" Saga giggled, a little drunk-ish from her gambling run.

[Xenneth Hikari]

Xenneth had frowned slightly hearing her. Sure it was her thing, but it made him feel uncomfortable a bit since not everyone wasn't too keen on parting with something special over a game. "Umm, isn't it wrong to use your gambling luck just to get cards like a business? I mean...it does seem a little overboard to play to take someone's cards from their decks. It's like taking something vital from them." he had said tilting his head as he stared in a worrisome manner.

[Saga Aoi]

Saga tilted her head, looking skyward, blinking "Never thought of it that way.. But.. they shouldn't be betting things important to them.. I never bet any of my gambling cards.. Those are too special to me."

She frowned slightly, as if bothered by the statement. It wasn't like she was telling the person to bet their most precious card to anything. That was will and always will be the player's choice in gambling. To gamble away something petty to gain something valuable or valuable to get something either more valuable or petty.

[Xenneth Hikari]

"Yes...but still Saga...people fall into temptation when opportunity stands in front of them, especially when it's a game of chance to get themselves something quick by betting something precious that suddenly lose value over their greed. That's when their sin comes into play and they fall victim of their greedy thoughts, and in the end, that's all they feel is regret..." Xenneth had explained as he lowered his head slightly. He had more of a full isnight on people when he thought about it. Some would call him an angel if anything, but he wasn't completely innocent. He had some thoughts that roamed, but he had a very powerful resistance as all.

[Saga Aoi]

Saga blinked, looking away, almost as she were insulted "I'll give all the cards back tomorrow then that I earned today."

True, she kinda played temptation and greed through her gambling skills.. it's how her nature was. She wasn't going to change her ways on the other hand.. she wasn't going to just stop.. Old habits die hard, after all..

Saga pulled the thick pack of card back out and sorted them, as if immediantly remembering whose card was whose, then she put the pack back into the briefcase silently, pondering, thinking to herself.

[Xenneth Hikari]

Xenneth had tilted his head as he saw the expression on Saga's face. It was almost as if he had insulted her somehow, or that's at least how he saw it. He had a worrisome look on his face as he had stared at her even though she had her back turned and sorting through the briefcase. "Is something wrong Saga?" he had asked as he had looked towards her trying to get a good look at her face as he tilted his head a little, but then started to slowly approach her.

[Saga Aoi]

She shook her head and smiled "Naaah. I think I had a bad burrito for lunch.." She gigled, blushing a little as she rubbed the back of her head.

[Xenneth Hikari]

Xenneth had smiled as he given a light laugh hearing her. "Are you okay? Is your stomach bothering you?" he had said as he walked past her as if he was going by until his hands had slipped around her sides and placed them on her stomach holding her close. He had smiled since no one was around since night was approaching. If anything, it was approaching the time for everyone to go in. Sitting there holding her and hands on her belly he had smiled warmly.

"It's funny, right?" he had begun to say. "Before...I was scared of touching you. Now, I'm just nervous..." he said as he stood there holding onto her.
