[b][color=8882be]Skills:[/color][/b] Perception (Dorothy)
[/center][hr]	[color=4dffa6]"Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that there are any big boys around,"[/color] Dorothy shot back. She had always enjoyed verbal swordplay and with the moment to clear her head, she was quite honestly feeling a little bit better. Perhaps Daphne would enjoy life on the ship without working as a pilot - it could be a chance for Daphne to learn a new trade or to get out her youthful rebelliousness. Of course, Dorothy knew that she was thinking as an older sister and not a medical officer or a second in command at the moment, but it didn't matter. [color=4dffa6]"But I suppose the present company will have to do."[/color]

	Her eyes flickered over to the dance floor, managing to catch a glimpse of a dark haired stranger making his way over to Anisa. She continued to watch them as a brief conversation appeared to happen, followed with Anisa and Harper making their way from the dance floor. She had to imagine it was some contact with a job for them - which she figured at this point, they likely needed one. 

	[color=8882be]"Y-you forgot to deal Daphne in,"[/color] Fitz pointed out, the thought not even crossing his mind that it could have been intentional. He looked over his own cards quickly, sorting them in numerical order. While he didn't know the rules of this game, an organized hand was always better than a disorganized hand. 

	[color=4dffa6]"So he did. While the [i]big boy[/i] is dealing in Daphne, I'll explain the rules,"[/color] Dorothy said sharply. [color=4dffa6]"The rules of [i]pai gow[/i] may seem complicate at first, but they become clearer with practice. The objective is to create two poker hands that beat the dealer's two hands. One of these hands, called the big hand, has five cards. The small hand has two cards. The big hand's rank must exceed the small hand's,"[/color] Dorothy explained. She reorganized her own cards as she did so. 

	[color=4dffa6]"Now that the cards have been dealt, we assign betting positions. The player acting as the banker this round - in this case, likely Dr. Moreau - will be position one. We count counter-clockwise. Now, if your hand beats the banker's hands, you win that bet. If you can only beat one of the banker's hands, you push, meaning neither you nor the banker wins. Ties also go to the banker and as you can imagine, if you lose...Well, you lose,"[/color] Dorothy concluded. 

	Fitz nodded, running all of the schematics over in his mind once more. While he was going to undoubtedly have questions, he figured he'd play this first round safe, just in order to get the hang of it. But he couldn't deny - it did sound like fun. Sure, it wasn't the most interest game he had ever played, but often times, it was the people that made the game worth playing. [color=8882be]"I th-think I understand,"[/color] Fitz replied. He then smiled at Foy as he toasted to his health. [color=8882be]"Th-thanks - to yours too,"[/color] he finished.
