[ it's not the first time he's been in the grand casino since it was opened but it's the first time he's been here specifically to mess with the actual games. he's sat at one of the gaming tables with a pack of those fancy gold-leaf cards spread out in front of him.
it looks like he's flicking through some kind of booklet as well, but. eh. it's probably nothing. ]

[ Hearing his name called does get him to look up, but he just lifts a hand in acknowledgement before going back to whatever he's reading. Rules, it looks like. For some sort of game?
It sounds way too complicated for something recreational, but the whole part about playing into people's tells? He likes that. ]
Here to play a few games?

Eventually. There's a lot of things here to learn about, I'm trying to work out which is most fun.
[ he flips through a few of the cards before setting them down in front of him, gold colouring on the backs. ]
Pick one, and we'll play a game. Red coloured card, and we'll play the easy version. Black coloured card, and we'll play something more challenging.

[ is he really ready. ]
Poker it is then!
[ rip hizamaru, you're a good boy but you sealed your fate. ]

Oh, it's fairly simple. [ but he's still glancing at the rules because lmao what're card games other than useless. but they have so much free time and nothing of his usual time-occupying activities to do so. here we are. ]
Two cards each, five cards on the table. You use the cards on the table and the two you have to make a set. Then you reveal your sets, and the best set wins.
[ he leans down under the table. when he pops back up he has a handful of casino chips, which he lets scatter over the table. ]
But you have to make bets on whether you'll win.

Usually these represent money, which we don't have.
[ danger will robinson. ]
A shame. Games like this usually have some weight behind them.

Fair is fine to a point. You're supposed to have fun with games -- [ or so he's read? heard? figured out? ] -- so why not add in benefits to winning a hand?
I would say that's an acceptable starting rule.

... [ you just keep handing him this power, hizamaru?? ] What will you give me if you lose?

That'll get expensive if you keep losing.
[ but hey, he's shuffling and dealing out the cards let's pretend i know how to play poker and they end up with the five in the middle and two cards each. does hiza realise he hasn't asked what the sets are and which hands beat other hands? ]
But I'll take that offer.

We play as many times as we want to.
[ watch as i aggressively handwave every game. ]
...
[ n o t h i n g. but, okay. hm. if he doesn't offer up anything then he might be down a player and back to being annoyed at being bored, so... ]
Maybe I'll get you something. Or you can ask me something. [ hm, hmmm. ]

[ at least the world just clicked back into place again. ]
Ah, you’re token hunting. You could’ve led with that and it would have been more effective. They’re an obvious advantage here, after all.
[ he’s flipping over the cards in the centre now, revealing what they have to work with. ]
Like you do, with swords?

... [ hmmm. ] No, not literally. What would I have to fight? Metaphorically though, you could say I fight for justice in my own way.
