Chapter 7 by mizuryu mizuryu

How does the next match go?

Ahsoka pulls out a win.

Wow, the deck feels...interesting, without my boots or stockings on...

Ahsoka was doing her best to focus on the game, really, she WAS, but she's never really felt the deck beneath her bare feet before. She's occasionally stumbled barefoot to the fresher for a morning sonic shower, but there's something...different...about being barefoot in a relatively public area. It feels very similar to whenever she's letting the **** flow through her, but without the sense of Inner Peace that accompanies it.

It felt...kinda weird. But not a bad weird.

Shaking her head, Ahsoka considered her cards and her Credits as her first number came up. An 8. Okay, I've got 6 Credits to work with, and this is a pretty good start. Let's see what everybody else has.

Looking around the table, she feels a grin start to form on her face as she noted that Rex had a 7. Hardcase was half-way scowling at a 4, Jesse was staring down a 6, Kix was showing a 5, and the only real opposition she had right now was Vaughn with a 10 of his own. Tapping her fingers on the bared part of her thigh-Whoa, that feels different.-Ahsoka considers for a second, and Raises.

"I think that pot could do with some more Credits. I raise 2 Credits." Fully half the Credits she came into this match with are now in the pot, let's see who all bites.

Rex considers for a moment, running the numbers in his head before, "I'll call that."

Hardcase, on the other hand, "Kriff this hand, I'm not dumb enough to put more Creds in when I've got a 4 on the board." He folds.

Jesse is quiet for a moment before, "...What the hell, why not." His Credits are added to the pile.

Kix calmly just tosses his Cred-chits into the center without a word as Vaughn tossed his own into the center with a smile.

The next cards are dealt, and Ahsoka, were she not a Jedi and therefore above such embarassing displays of emotion, could very well have squee'd as her board jumped up to an 18 while Rex, Jesse, Kix, and Vaughn were brought to 16, 15, 13, and 17 respectively.

Vaughn places down a +2 and Ahsoka responds by doing the same, bringing her to 20 and Standing. She smiles as everybody remaining either Busts trying to beat her or just accepts their loss for the round. 1 Win for her.

The next Round also favors her heavily, but she even when she only raises by a single Credit, nobody else bites, leaving her alone to take her second Win. Weird. I was expecting them to be a bit more aggressive this round. They must have really gotten screwed with their side deck draws.

The third Round of this match ends up being a much more fraught affair, as everybody knows that they're only a single Loss from being booted from the match entirely, and Ahsoka's but one Win away from walking away with the pot unopposed. All of them save for Rex use a card after their first Draw to bring them to one of the better numbers to have on the board ready, Overall raising 3 Credits total, leaving Ahsoka, with her 6, to debate whether to fold and try to win later, or put all her Credits in now and basically guarantee the others' ability to buy her out of a Match later.

She chews her lip and taps her fingers on her thigh as she considers....

And then tosses the Credits into the center of the table. No guts, no glory, right master? If I can just win this hand, I'll be set to replace everything with some to spare!

The cards are dealt again, and Ahsoka quickly slaps down a +3 to bring her up to 19 as soon as she sees what she Drew and Stands. Nobody else raises as they all Draw again and...

Busts across the board.

"Yes!" Ahsoka has a big grin on her face as she reaches forward and pulls the pile of Credits over to her.

39 credits. Almost four times what I walked into this room with. Wow, I can kinda see how people could get sucked into this.

"Whew, that was a close one! Good match, guys, ready for the next one?"

Are they?
