Sh-shit's tight, huh? All-in, baby. No f-fumbles, got it?
soon after being bested at a hand by someone and reattribution all my chips to them, I speak that was pathetic of me, how did I not see through your chicanery? I scoff as I push my chair back and stand up
raises eyebrows Hold up there, buddy! That's not what I meant! Don't go all grumpy pants on me!
I hear what sounds like papers rustling coming from your pocket, giving you an unignorable hint to get rid of the card you subtly slid off the table with your foot earlier. Though you may not notice what's going on with your attention so preoccupied with handling the situation How dare you accuse me of such nonsense! Why, I've never felt more insulted! Do you think I'm just a foolish boy? Is that it? Do you believe me to be foolish? Or perhaps stupid? No! You mistake me! You underestimate me!! Hmmph! I say, trying to mimic anger, though you can tell I secretly find your hand adorable, flustered as I am
flustered Aw c'mon, P-Penguin! You know I didn't mean any harm! We're team-mates here! Don't s-split hairs with me, bro! Let's put this behind us and kick some a-s!
Kick some ass, huh? Yeah, sure... I answer angrily, my fists clenching tightly under the table. My anger seems fake, as I feel bad for starting a scene. But I'd rather show submission than seem weak.
reaches across the table, placing a comforting hand on OceanicPenguin's shoulder Come on, P, don't sweat it! W-we're all in this together, right? We gotta stick together, man! And hey, if you need to let off some steam, I got a great idea. How 'bout we head to the casino's backroom and engage in a little game of... Truth or Dare? winks
Sure, why not, it'll serve as a good excuse to take a break from playing anyway. Lead the way, champ. I reply with no enthusiasm, following reluctantly behind you
grinning mischievously Oh, you betcha, buddy! quickly gets up from his seat and leads OceanicPenguin through the casino, skillfully maneuvering through the crowd and dodging curious glances. As they make their way to the backroom, he whispers Alright, P, here's the deal. This is gonna be a real challenge for both of us. So, you ready for some heart-pounding action?
Yeah, yeah... just get on with it already. Don't keep me waiting. I mutter impatiently, tapping my foot and giving you an annoyed glare. Despite this, you still get the feeling that I secretly find you endearing, and even charming.
gives OceanicPenguin a playful smirk Alright, alright, hold your horses, P! Let's cut to the chase! opens the door to the backroom and flips on the light, revealing a dimly lit space filled with props and game equipment Welcome to the infamous Backroom of Thrills!
Uh-huh... Very... Impressive... I say sarcastically, looking around the dingy room. You immediately get a feeling that I don't think much of the place, and I clearly do not appreciate this, though I feel it's pointless to object now. So what's next, huh? What are we supposed to do here? I ask impatiently, crossing my arms under my breasts and leaning against the door frame, looking expectantly at you.
pulls out a deck of cards from his pocket and starts shuffling them skillfully between his hands Alright, listen up, P!
I'm listening... Go ahead... I look at you, raising one eyebrow and crossing my arms. My impatience is clear as day, yet you still feel I secretly appreciate your charm.
grinning Alright, P, here's how this goes.
gestures towards the deck of cards in his hands We're gonna play a round of Speed, my friend. The goal is simple - we each draw a card and then have to match it as quickly as possible.
Sounds easy enough... Let's do this... I say simply, not really putting much effort into the activity. But you can tell I secretly find your charm attractive, even if I feel bad about admitting that.
smirks and starts dealing the cards rapidly, his hands moving with lightning speed Alright, P, let's see what you got! Get ready to show me your skills!
Bring it on... I answer confidently, intrigued despite myself. You take notice of my interest though I try my best to seem unimpressed.
<As the game progresses, OceanicPenguin's skills shine through, leaving Nick in awe.>
What's the current score? I think I'm winning... I ask smugly, blushing slightly even though I try my best to hide it.
leans back, grinning Hah! Looks like you've got some tricks up your sleeve, P! But don't get too comfortable on your throne just yet!
Oh shut up... I snap playfully, rolling my eyes. I think I'm winning though... I say, shifting in my seat and smirking mischievously.
laughs and stands up from his seat, dramatically throwing his cards on the table Alright, alright, P! Looks like you've got me beat! But don't celebrate too early, because I've got one last trick up my sleeve! He reaches into his pocket once again and pulls out a deck of jokers How about a little game of Strip Speed? Winner takes all!
Strip Speed? Really? Tch... Fine, if you insist... I say reluctantly, trying to keep my face expressionless. Though despite trying to seem unenthusiastic, you realize it's a challenge I'm secretly thrilled about. Alright then, deal the cards...
grinning devilishly You're on, P! Prepare to shed those clothes! starts dealing the jokers at lightning speed, his hands moving in a blur
...Fine... I mutter quietly, watching you deal the cards. Despite the fact that I try not to show it, you realize I secretly enjoy the thrill of the game.
as he finishes dealing the cards, he winks at OceanicPenguin Alright, P, let's get this party started!
