"Haha alright." Samuel takes your hand and guides you out of the casino back to the elevator. He clicks the button for the door to close and the body guard gets locked out at the last moment. Samuel lets loose a short fit of laughter afterwards. When the doors open, on the 10th floor (last floor before roof) there is a long hallway with marble floors, chandelliers, and only one door. Samuel punches a code in on it, oppening up to his suite that he always has ready, just for him. He did own the building after all. He takes you to a table, and pulls out a chair for you. "Go ahead, ill be right back."

Then, Samuel walks across the suite past the open balcony, the rather large looking bed and over to the nightsand. He opens it up and pulls out cards, then he goes into the kitchen, and grabs 2 glasses plus a bottle of vodka from the fridge. "Okay so poker is kinda complex okay. So bear with me." He places the vodka and cards on the table. A shot glass is placed before each of you.

"So its a game of card values. You want to pair up certain kinds of cards for the highest value possible. 2 pairs are worth less than 3 pairs. If you have one of each type of pair its a full house which is worth more than any pair. Next up is a straight, like if you hade ace, 2 , 3, 4. A large straight is the even better but requires one more card. A royal flush is the best hand consisting of an ace, a queen, a 10, and a king, and a jack. When 2 people have the same hand value, the winner is decided by the highest card. So if we each had a 2 pair, whoever has the greater pair wins. If i had 2 5's an you had 2 6's you would win. However if i had 3 of any card, it beats your 2 pair no matter what it is."

He looks to you to read your facial expressions an see if you are understanding before he continues. "So i deal us each 2 cards face down." He deals the 2 cards each. "Then i place 3 cards face up in the center. We can both use them. So lets say ihad 2 of a kind in my hand, an that same number was on the field. Ive now got a 3 pair." He lays out the field cards. Then from under the table he pulls chips. He gives you 5 and keeps 5 for himself. "Here is the catch for strip poker. Instead of gambling money, you gamble clothes. Every time you run out of chips, you take off clothes to buy them back!"

Samuel seemed quite content with how he explained the rules, none the less he looks t you and ask "so, any questions?"

"What?!?!" Samuel proclaimed. He couldnt believe it, but when he turned his head, he definately saw the little chrome ball in the box labelled 17. "OH MY GOD YES! HOW DID THAT JUST HAPPEN!" He shouts before grabbing 2 more shots for himself. The man handed him a green plastic basket with 15000 dollars of chips in it. Samuel dumps the basket into your own, bringing you to 15250 dollars in chips. Afterwards, he pounds his shot, grabs your face, and kisses you. It wasnt anywhere near the one on the train, but he seemed pretty happy none the less.

"WOOH!" Samuel shots tossing his hands up afterwards. By now he was up to 5 servings o alcohol and was starting to get on the side of wholly crap! "I need to gamble with you more often! Haha!" Of coarse, strip poker came to mind, but he dared not mention it... Oh wait.. He did anyways. "Haha we should play strip poker! Everybody wins at that!"

An arena RP family

I wanted to make a group of people who would fight as allies in the arena, with similar fighting styles. Outside of the arena, maybe in the nation rp section we would talk and socialize together. Kind of like a clan i guess you could say.

My thoughts, which are not law or set in stone for our arena family:
-we would have our family name or moto, or clan symbol in our signatures. (I can draw it and post it on devian art when we agree on something.) this would show who we are, and that we are proud to be family.
-we would Spar with each other and help each other improve
-we could TEACH people who are not great at Rp fighting so that they can improve, and maybe even join our family/ clan.
-we would have a standard for behavior and language so that everybody knows our family is respectable.
-we would have a shared technique. Not that you have to use it, but that everybody COULD use our family technique. (For example lets say we all had understanding of human anatomy. We would teach it to our family members for use in the arena)

Any questions? Suggestions? Anybody think this sounds interesting and would like in? Post and pm's much apreciated.

The dealer behind the table smiles and hands you a smal plastic basket with 50 5 dollar chips. The total value is 250 dollars! "We have a winner!" The man announces. Samuel cheers with you, and grabbs a shot of tequila from one of the passing hostesses. He hands you the shot an says "Winner winner but ivw already payed for dinner. Oh well, time for rule number 2. When you win, you take a shot. And since you got a jackpot prize..." He hands you two shots. "Well, its rule number 2."

Then, he places 3 100 dollar bills on the same number. "Can i ask that you spin the wheel counterclockwise sir?" Samuel ask casually. The man knods and spins. Samuel turns his head away and says to you. "I cant look im wretched at this game. You tell me how it goes."

"Well, you are only a day late. Today is the 15th day of 4th moon (fancy way lf saying april 15th around here). " the headmistress answered the first two questions, and just as she was about to inspect the body there was a bright flash, and he was suddenly staning. She squinted and her forearm rose before her face, but none the less, she had been flashed. "No i think he is alive" she said to the student.

The tophated teacher spoke briefly and she responded accordingly. "Well, professor Allore, or Alphonse. Whichever you prefferre, scho ha started. Your class isnt scheduled until later today. Perhaps you should join me an some of our senior students for a hunting trip until then." Then she diverted her attention to Kayleb. "You, should be in Mr. g's classroom right now. It just began. Ill write you up a pass, and ill have a teacher meet you at the front doors of the main building to show you the way." With that, she ripped off a piece of leather from her already short skirt, and bit onto her thumb, right into the big vein. She smeared a tad bit of blood onto the leather an handed it to Kayleb as a hallpass.

"Go along now" she said before leading her class and Allphonse into the forest for hunting. Many of the senior students with her watched the whole ordeal wide eyed.

Eventually, you passed a green velvet table, with a large fancy checkered wheel, next to a checkered chart. "This game?" Samuel says as you pass it. "I think its some kind of roullette table, but i forget sometimes. This one is especially fun, and very nervewracking. Haha! The rules are simple. You place a bet on where you think the ball will land. The wheel has black or red pockets numbered 1-50. You can call evens, odds, reds, blacks, or a specific number. The wider the spectrum you call, the less money you win if your right. The more specific you are, the more money you win. So if i call 50, the odds are 50 to one that it will be anything else. If im right i get 50x my money. If im wrong i loose the money. If i call red, there is a 2-1 chance. So ill double my money if im right. "

Samuel explained the rules, and the man behind the table saw your interest. "Free first bet" he announces directly at you. "Your first bet, we will ad 5 dollars to your base value. If you bet nothing, it will be like you placed 5 dollars. 5 dollars happens to be our minimum buy in here at this table."

High Fantasy Faction War

Gervus in his final moments lets out an earth shattering roar, before focusing the last of his energy to his glowing purple core. By now his wings were usless and his titanium bones were wearing thin. He closed his jaws, unable to further sustain the firebreath, and ten, he self destructed. The blast was a special magic blast that killed anything within nearly 100 ft of Gervus and resurected thefallen fighters on side of the Undead army.

Now, the carnage that laid about carnage was risen. Humans, undead, and elf alike, now littered all about the fort and around it, rose to arms, focusing fully on carnage. They ignored his other men, and resultantly, dozens of boulders, bullets, fireballs, and lazercannons focused on Carnage just as they had Gervus moments prior. Given that every man in the fort focused their fire on the eastern end were Gervus was, it left a wide openig for undead that were previously slaughtered to the south to rampage up the hill on the fort, and any humans who had fallen in the fort were given a beautifull opening from behind.

The magic powering them, now without a master, would mean the final assault would last but maybe 2 minuts. But in those 2 minuts, Carnage was the goal.
