Block VI - Poker Face, Poker Flush, Poker Fist. [Video]

[apathetic_seal]

[The first thing that is evident when the video feed turns on is that Minato looks deep in thought, concentrating on something. The guide is on the table next to him, so while it's showing his face, what he's looking at is a mystery. But then, voices.]

Check.

I bet.

...Nope. Fold.

[And now Minato:] Call. [He pushes something forward. It's

[Impressed as she may be, the moment she sees you get hurt, she might nuke something.]

[From the looks of things, the big guy is slow, and Minato already has his Evoker out, trying to get enough space to have an opportunity to use it. Nothing has actually contacted yet. Meanwhile, from behind the Guide:]

Dude! Just hit him, man! Humans aren't hard to hit!

Re: [Video]

[lunarianpsycho]

[Well, at that, a voice pipes up from the guide.]

Be silent, you filthy creature...

Re: [Video]

[apathetic_seal]

Wha? Hey, no, you shut up, bit-

[The alien is cut off as Minato can be seen finding enough room to use his Persona. There's a small swirl of cards around the brute signifying a Hamaon, and in a flash of light, it just falls over, completely unconscious. Minato walks back to the table.]

Uh... hey, man. I don't mean no harm or nothin'. Here's your Guide. Jus' take it all! Don't hurt me, man!

[Some shuffling, and he gets his guide back.]

...Oh? How long was this on?

[nothing_is_grey]

How dare he go against the rules of the game. To hit someone simply for having the winning hand, what a weak and sad heart.

[apathetic_seal]

[Not like anyone can hear the lecture over the fight. It's over extremely quickly, though. A shot to his own head summons an angel to make short work of it all in the light flash of a Hamaon spell. The alien holding his Guide quickly relenquishes it back to its proper owner, who notices someone on the screen.]

...Hi. ...Uh, he's not hurt. Just sleeping. Sort of.

[nothing_is_grey]

If he were hurt that would be acceptable, after all he invited such consequences when reacting that way. At least you were able to defend yourself.

[apathetic_seal]

I guess. He wasn't that much of a threat, though.

Still, I don't think I'll be coming here again...

[pishirogane]

[Not amused at this. If he needs help she'll go; she owes him for helping her out]

[apathetic_seal]

[For as big as the assaulting alien is, it doesn't look like it's too versed in the ways of unarmed combat. Minato's hardly even trying to dodge them.]

Dude, you're supposed to hit the human!

[pishirogane]

[Wow, that's pathetic. Go Minato go.]

[apathetic_seal]

[About twenty seconds and one Hamaon later, it's over. The other aliens at the table decide to run. Minato picks up the Guide, noticing it was recording.]

Oh. Hey.

[lohacknight]

woah what the fuck am i watching here

hey alien guy emokid just kicked your ass fair and square

dont be a huge whiny bitch about it come on

Re: [video]

[apathetic_seal]

[The alien currently trying and failing to punch he kid isn't really in any position to talk. The one behind the Guide, however...]

Hey man, my boy always gets his way around here. Lil' human bitch gets to learn that the hard way.

[...Except that the big alien is currently fighting with all the prowess of a drunken oaf that doesn't know a right hook from a left jab.]

Re: [video]

[lohacknight]

jegus maybe you guys should just like

learn to play fucking poker without sucking

Re: [video]

[apathetic_seal]

That's not how it works, man. When the big man pushes his chips in, you fold. Human gets to learn that.

[nocturnalmaniac]

[Guess who's watching, completely unimpressed. If you need a hand he'll be there.]

Re: [Video]

[apathetic_seal]

[The fight takes all of ten seconds as Minato makes enough space between the two to use his Evoker, a Hamaon spell putting the alien out of commission. The alien behind the guide is all to quick to give Minato back his guide and may be glimpsed hightailing it out of there as it changes hands.]

...Oh. Naoki. I guess you saw all that?

[Minato is currently gathering up his winnings as he speaks.]

Re: [Video][Shit forgot I had this account here xD]

[nocturnalmaniac]

[...blink blink.]

Uh... Yeah, I did. Looks like you handled it well.

Re: [Video][Oops.]

[apathetic_seal]

It wasn't much of a threat.

Still, I'll be out of here shortly. Don't want to be around when he wakes up.
