Alliance Competition #10; A friendly game of Poker

The crowd waited in silence, sitting in the dark, a low electric buzz of excitement hanging in the air. Without warning, a Spotlight turns on in the middle of the massive arena-like room. In the center, stands Garrett Rowanstar. A smirk on his face is visible as he looks up, and similar spotlights dawn throughout the crowd, illuminating the audience. "Why hello there, Audience. I see everyone has assembled once more, to watch the newest game of wits and strategy. To watch your favorite heroes go at it, for a chance to win the Big Money." He gestures to his left, where a large Poker Table waits. "We have gathered the best, and the brightest, and the showiest to compete today. Are you all ready to have some fun?" With that, he threw his arms up into the air, and the rest of the lights came flooding on, revealing a live band, a small army of Bunny Girls, numerous acrobats and dancers.

Almost immediately, the Dancers and acrobats started to move, flipping and twirling in a choreographed routine, and the audience erupted into cheering. Large coloured lights shone out, powered by hired Jupiter Adepts, flashing bright colours everywhere.Garrett grinned broadly and pulled out his microphone. "After the last time, where Venus proved their superiority," he paused while the crowd went berserk, chanting Venus and general excited screaming. "It was decided to host a free for all tournament, rather then a set of team themed games. Therefore, all players will be battling it out together, on one table!" He paused again, admiring the graceful dancers pirouetting around him. "If you think you got what it takes, head to the registration area out front, and one of our Beautiful Bunny Girls will show you to your seat! No Limit on players, but hurry, as sign up's won't last long! The Jackpot Prize for this game will be a Million Gold, so make sure you bring your A Game!"

Rules and Such

As if from nowhere, Catman steals the mic and bumps Garrett out of the way. "It seems my associate's memory is a little hazy. The Mars Clan went completely undefeated in our last card game adventure. Where on earth did we find one million gold, too? No matter. I'm entering this game, so watch out for some high impact card plays from your favorite extreme fighting man supreme!"

Catman does a textbook front flip off of the podium, then backflips right back on up realising he forgot to say something.

"Oh and just like before I got everyone a gift, they're under your chairs, and they are not the same things as last time either. Enjoy, duders!"

He then dives over to the bar in one jump...

Violet Spinel the (X+2)th stomps into the room confidently! This time he means buisness.

"I won't allow this to end like last time! I've suffered through like 14 Lucky Peppers, huh! That shit's spicy!"

He takes a seat at an empty table, leans back, demands a drink with caffeine to the confusion of a nearby waitress, and examines the underside of his table to check out whatever gift was promised for him.

Garrett picked up the mike where Catman had dropped it, and grinned to the audience. "What can I say, I must be a bit biased! But my associate has a point! Mars was undefeated last tournament!Even if Venus won the season"

He grinned and pointed towards Catman, who by now was seated at the bar. "Let's have a round of applause for our first competitor, Catmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!" The crowd erupted with cheers, most having looked under their chairs, and been suitably pleased by the offering. "And who shall be our next competitor?" He stops and sniffs the air. "Hey, does everyone smell pepper?"

As if on cue, Spinel the X+2 walks into the room, to a mixed reaction of booing and cheers. "Ah yes, Mr.Spinel! Recovered from the thrashing I gave yah last time, eh?" He chuckled "Don't worry, this time, I made sure to teach the kitchen staff a recipe i learned in a remote land, called "Cawfee. Chock FULL of that Caffeine stuff you like."

With that, Garrett turned back to the crowd. "We have our first two competitors! But who shall stand against them, in this game of wit, skill and just the right amount of luck? Anyone willing to compete must do so soon, for we are running out of time!"

Mr. Spinel tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for others to arrive.
"More coffee, please, huh!" he shouted towards a nearby attendant. As he waited for his coffee, he decided to get a good lookat the place. It seemed his opponent from last year had become the new MC of sorts, which brought him a lot of discomfort considering how pathetic that loss was. Regardless, he held no ill will towards his previous opponent, and all those lucky peppers meant the outcome would surely be different this time around.

Garrett waited with baited breath. But as the minutes ticked on, no one else approached the main area. He sighed, and shook his head a bit. Putting a grin back on his face, he turned to the crowd once more. "Well, it appears that no further challengers are approaching, which means our free for all battle has become a simple duel. Not to worry, it will surely be an epic duel of epic proportions!" He turned around and quickly strode to the dealers chair, sitting down. "Alright gentlemen! I expect a fair duel! No cheating! No blowing up the arena!" He mock glared at Catman for the last bit. As he spoke, the bunny girls approached with the drinks that had been ordered, although the one serving Spinel seemed a bit apprehensive, almost as if afraid he would lash out.

Garrett picked up the deck and began to shuffle. While he did so his favorite bunny girl, currently acting as his assistant, handed out the starting chips to each player. "Each player starts with the equivalent of 100 chips. Since we only have 2 players, there shall be no small blind, and big blind is set at 5 chips." Satisfied with the shuffled deck, he set it down in front of him, and pulled out his lucky gold coin. "Heads, Catman goes first. Tails, Spinel goes first." With that, Garrett flipped the coin into the air. All eyes were on the glinting gold piece as it spun and twinkled in the air. The audience watched with baited breath, hypnotized, waiting. The coin finished it's journey, and Garrett caught it expertly on his hand. Taking a moment to play up the tension, he slowly peaked at the coin, and then looked around, grinning conspiratorially. Slowly, he lifted his hand up to reveal the Head of Babi. "Looks like it's heads, which means Catman will be going first! Spinel will be the first to pay the blind!"

Garrett dealt two cards to each player and leaned back. "Well, gentlemen? Are you ready to duel? Then, let's begin!"

(Initial cards have been dealt.)

(Catman secretly notes the strange lack of following what had been written about blinds in the OP but doesn't care either way)

"Kind of a shame really. But I understand that certain people may be afraid to challenge my sheer luck at chance games. At least I have a rival as my opponent, let's see how the game plays out!" He looks at his cards, folding up the top edge as he did in the previous game.

"Call? That wouldn't be exciting enough. I raise the bet to 10!" and with that, he picks up two 5 chips and tosses them into the centre of the table. He then looks around a bit to see if that bunny girl from before was still here.

Mr. Spinel shrugged, trying his best to keep cool and not murder Garret in cold.blood for not using proper honourifics.

"Well, I guess I have to follow suit, huh?" With that, he took five chips from his collection and tossed them into the pile, grinning confidently at Catman.
"Well?"

Garrett watches the exchange between players in amusement. The crowd of course continues to go wild, really building off of the hype of two rivals clashing. Even some of the performers and Bunny Girls were getting into it, some more then others. When Catman raised, he had caught the eye of one Bunny Girl in particular, who turned a delightful shade of crimson and raised a tentative hand to wave. Garrett noted the exchange with a wry smile.

He turned back to face the players, just in time to see Spinel pay the raise and issue a challenge. He looked expectantly to Catman, eagerly awaiting his response. Would he Raise it further, or simply call, and see what the flop had in store.

"I would reraise but let's not get ahead of ourselves. I'll probably raise after the flop though, so watch out for that Spinel!" he then taps the table with his finger and then says "I check".

Catman notices his favorite bunny girl, turns to look at her and gives her the trademark thumbs up and grin combo.

"Mr. Spinel." He corrected smoothly and tapped his own side of the table. "Go ahead and flip the cards, I wanna see how this turns out."

Garrett nods and deals the flop. He nods, and looks at them both in turn. "A decent flop and turns to Catman. Your move, Mr.Catman. Raise, or call?"

Catman notes the three sequentially numbered cards on the flop. How curious.

"I said I would do it, so let's raise it some more, even if it leads one of us to ruin!" he says, throwing a 5 chip into the pot. (Raising by 5, making the bet 15)

Mr. Spinel squints at his hand for a while, considering whether or not Mr. Catman vould really be bluffing. After a moment of thought, he makes up his mind and shakes his head.
"I fold. I'm not gonna risk any more than I already have."

Garrett sighed. Bit of a shame, but then again, Catman HAD been piling on the heat. "Catman wins the pot of 25 Chips, putting his total at 110 chips." He pushes them towards Catman, and gathers the cards. As he deals, he says "Catman will pay the next blind of 5 chips."
